Mr. SCHENCK. The men are nearly all mustered out. It was submitted, as a nestion, to the officers and men to vote whether they would be discharged from the service or not. This was done under an order of the War Dept. The men, as all the men of the regular Army, with perhaps here and there an exception, and as all the sailors on board the several ships of war would doif an opportunity were offered, either for the sake of a holiday or for the sake of gettiu rid of the service, voted almost unanimous y togo out, leaving the officers of the corps, the organization of which has not yet been broken up, still in service. ! About 1/2 of these officers are now employed by the Government; and from the Freedmens Bureau and other quarters applications are made from time to time to put upon duty numbers of these officers, which requests are usually complied with on the part of the war office. What is now proposed is, that the ofieersot Q that co summarily dismissed from the service, but. that some little time shall be given by a suspension of the order dismissing them from service until Congress shall take some action in respect to the future disposition to be made of the corps, either by incorporating it into the regular Array or giving it an organization and permittin it to fill up its numbers as a part of that regifiar Army or permitting its officers to return to private life. This co s consists of officers, 85%. of whom during the rebellion have been actually wounded, but who have recovered so far as to permit them to enter the service again. A%age of from ten to 15, making it the whole of the remainder, consists of those wh10 have been disabled by sickness contracted in the service, but from which they have since recovered so as to be fitfor duty, and it is proposed not to turn outupon the world under any action that has taken place these officers, many of the m men of family, with persons dependent upon them for support, which must be given 1 in some way until there is time for conrose to act and determine what disposition siall be made of the corps, whether it shall be retained as a part of the regular Anny or not. That is the whole scope and purpose of the resolution, which is temporary in its character.
