THE military peace establishment of the United States was reduced by an act of Congress, of the 2d of March, 1821, from ten to six thousand men. The law went into operation the same year, on the first of June, and it remains unaltered. The army, as organized according to this law, is under the command of one major general and two brigadier generals; and it consists of four regiments of artillery and seven regiments of infantry, comprising of the general staff, 119, of artillery 2,240, and of infantry 3,829-total 6,188 men Compensation to Officers of the Army, including Pay, Subsistence, Forage, Fuel, Quarters, and Expense for Servants. THE Military Academy consists of the Corps of Engineers; of one professor and an assistant professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy; one professor and an assistant professor of Mathematics; one professor and an assistant professor of the Art of Engineering in all its branches; a chaplain and professor of ethics; a teacher of drawing; a surgeon; and a swordmaster. The number of cadets is limited to two hundred and fifty. They may be attached, at the discretion of the President of the United States, as students to the military academy, and become subject to its regulations. They are arranged in companies of non-commissioned officers and privates, for the purposes of military instruction. There are four musicians to each company; and the corps is trained and taught all the duties of a private, a non-commissioned officer, and an officer; is encamped at least three months of each year, and instructed in all the duties incident to a regular camp. Candidates for cadets must not be under fourteen, nor above twentyone years of age; and each cadet, previously to his appointment by the President, must be versed in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and must sign articles, with the consent of his parent and guardian, thereby engaging to serve five years, unless sooner discharged. The pay of a cadet is sixteen dollars per month, and two rations per day. When any cadet has received a regular degree from the academic staff, after going through all the classes, he is considered as among the candidates for a commission in any corps, according to the duties he may be judged competent to perform; and if there is not, at the time, a vacancy in such corps, he may be attached to it at the discretion of the President, by brevet of the lowest rank until a vacancy shall happen. The military academy is seated at West Point, in the State of New York, on the river Hudson. The chief engineer is, ez officio, inspector of the military academy. ACADEMIC STAFF.
