The putting a construction on that act, the correct ness of which Was seriously questioned. The volunteer forces now in the field, with those which had been "accepted," to "servo for twelve months" and were discharged at the end of their term of service, exhaust the fifty thousand men authorized by that act. Had it been clear, that a proper construction of the act warranted U lhe services of an additional number would have been called for and accept ed ; but doubts existing upon this point, the power was not excrcijscd. It is deemed important that Congress should, at an early period of their session, confer the au thority to raise! an additional regular force- to serve during tho war with Mexico, and to be discharged upon the conclusion and ratification of a treaty of peace. I invite the attention of Congress to the views presented by the Socre Mary of War in his report upon this subject. I recommend, also, that author' be given ; by law to call for and accept the services of an additional number of volunteers, to be exercised at such time and to such an extent as the emer. gencies of the service may require.
