OF The Wayne County Record maintains that
Gen. Scott justly offended with tie President, be-
cause he desired that Congress would authorize the
appointment of two additional Major Generals and
four Brgadier Generals. The Record very positively
says that 'the army had no need of such additona
officers" Military men do not all agree with this
opinion. For instance, Gen. Houston, who certainly
may be supposed to know something about the matter
made some practical statements on the subject, show
ing that the additional number of Major Generals wa:
indispensable for the efficient organization of the ar
my. An army of fifty thousand men would consist O
five divisions, each Of which was entitled TO be com
manded by Major General. 1t strikes us that Gen
Houston is nearest right.
