GENERAL: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of this Bureau for the past year:
On referring to the last annual report from this office it will be seen that there were at that time in service ninety-eight regiments and six light batteries of colored troops, numbering in all, officers and enlisted men, 85,024.
During the past year there have been mustered out of service seventy-nine regiments and six light batteries, which, with the incidental losses sustained during the year by the regiments still retained, gives an aggregate reduction of 72,039 officers and men, leaving in service at this date eighteen regiments of infantry and one of artillery, numbering in the aggregate 12,985. Of this force five regiments of infantry are now under orders for muster out of service, which will reduce the number in service, on or about the 1st of next November, to thirteen regiments of infantry and one of artillery, numbering about 10,000 commissioned and enlisted. The statistical table recently submitted will show when and where the several organizations were mustered out, where finally paid and discharged, and the numerical strength of each at date of discharge.
