REMARKS.
The rapidity with which the work of mustering out and disbanding the Volunteer Army executed will be apparent from the following, showing the numbers mustered out to the dates set opposite them, respectively, viz:
Aug. 7, 1865 ....................................... 640,806
Aug. 22, 1865 ...................................... 719,338
Sept. 14, 1865 ..................................... 741,107
Oct. 15, 1865 ...................................... 785,205
Nov. 15, 1865 ..................................... 800,963

Regiments commenced leaving General Sherman's command-them numbering, present and absent, 116, 183 officers and men-from the rendezvous near this city on the 29th of May, and on the 1st of August the last one of the regiments mustered out left Louisville, Ky., to which point the command (after the musters out therefrom were partly completed) was transferred and the armies composing it merged into one, called the Army of the Tennessee. The work of mustering out the troops was not continuous, it having been interrupted and delayed by the transfer of the two armies from this city to Louisville, and their subsequent consolidation.
