Referring t bis own department, that of the Knrt. be kovs ther** is a shortage of about 11,000 enlisted men, and n corre sponding number of officers. Gen. RrcMke desires, of osirif, to have that additional number of enlisted men for coast defense purposes—otherwise heavy artillerymen— provided for in the next regular army bill w hlch shall Ih* parsed by Congress. But is It necessary to Ipive the coast defense forts at all times fully garrisoned and by regular soldiers? It se*ma tbot the state volunteer troops might well he largely availed of for roast defense service. Practically all of the defenses are mar cltlea or larg** towns. In timen of peace the could lo garrisoned by email r*'gu lar forces. Meantime state volunteers could be organized ami Instructed as heavy artillery so that in the event of n foreign war they could be qul- kly thrown into the nearest fortification*. This is the governing Idea in thi* proposition of the Savannah Volunteer Guards to become a iottalion of heavy artillery’. It is stated that the general government favors the organisation of volunteer troo|s into heavy artillery commands, That being true, the way would seem to ho c lear to providing and training all of the heavy artillerymen that would be needed in the ev?nt of war. without largely Inertaslng that branch of the ser ve## in the staialing army. The volunteer artillerymen could be Instructed and drill ed In the manipulation of the heavy guns hy the officers and small regular t m mands at the forts, making a comieteu? volunteer garrison always quickly avails bio in case of need.
