"Good policy requires that the territory conquered should be garrisoned and possession retained until appropriated by the government of the United States. In pursuance of this policy and to relieve the troops now stationed at Forts Williams, Strother and Armstrong, on the Coosa River as well as Old and New Deposit, I am commanded by His Excellency Governor Bount to call from my division one thousand men into the service of the United States for the period of six months, unless sooner discharged by the order of the President of the United States."
