Adj. General's Report

The Adjutant General advertises to-day for ten copies of the Adjutant General’s Report.  We hope he will get them, but we have our doubts.  What streak of economy every induced the Legislature to order only 1,000 copies of that report we never could imagine, especially as several thousand copies of far less important documents were ordered almost without question.  The Legislature, however, made amends for it, to some extent, but providing for a more complete report at the close of the war.
