City Of H'a.hiagsOn, 22d July, 1915.
SIn-I have been favored this moment
with your letter of the 91st INST. and en-
brace the earliest moment to reply to it.
The funds appropriated by the last Con-
gress tor the military service of the pre-
sent year, were predicated on force of
10000 men, for the Peace Establishment.
not taking into calculation the time IL
would take to disband the army, so as to
reduce it to that number-nor taking into
calculation the considerable arrears due
Tor the militia before the present year, as
well as those who have .becnin service in
the early part of this year, which was the
case of those, in great degree, until the
18th OF March, who served at New-Or-
leans.
During the early part Of this year, while
Congress were IN session, under full
persuasion they would not adjourn before
they made provision prepayment ofmiiitia,
and the extended regular force, until it
could be reduced by the Executive to the
contemplated peace establ;shment-I con-
tlnued to pay the militia and regulars to
the extent of the funds with which | was
furnished. continued 10 pay fora short
tlhc after Congress adjourned, but finding
the extentof the demands so great, when
compared with the funds appropriated, 1
lelt myself under the necessity of making
full stop as to the militia, to enable me to
reserve sufliciency TO pay the regular
troops, which were discbarging every day,
and in every quarter offhe u. States.
apprehend, in nay anxious desire of
paying all, have gone too far. and that
the appropriation remaining, which IS now
nearly exhausted, will not enable me to-
pay the regular army TO this time.
Fr..ni the foregoing statement, you vii
readlly perceive, sir, that the claims of the
militia, who are yet unpaid must be laid
ever to depend upoG the justice of the next
Congress, which cannot doubt for a mo-
ment, wiil not withhold the necessary APP
preparations for paying the claims of those
who have left the comforts Of their homes
and firesides, in obedience 20 the call OF
their country, to encounter perils and
lardshlps ia the field. This snuw 10
have been the case with the brigade under
the command Of B1gadier General Porter
field, and have sincerely to lament that
they should so long be deprived of receiv-
ing what they have a right to claim. Be-
fore ! know the full extentit would require
for payment of the regular army, fbad|
some hope IN the early part Of the sprinz
and summer, to have been able to furnish
Mr.. Turner with fundsr-In this, / was.
however, disappointed.
With sentiments of much respect, / am,

United States, and particularly those un-
der the command of Gen. Porterield, who
have not received all the pay to which
they were entitled, thereare many dispos-

delay of payment, 60 the officers who
commanded them, either by not using the
necessary exertions to obtain pay, or hay-
ing obtained it, hold it for their own pur-
poses--and there are many persons who
encourage those suspicious. For the in
formation OF the soldiers, and the persons
alludedto, and to shield from imputation
the reputation of innocent officers, you
