recent volunteer act and If the emer.
gency should arise which would make
it necessary to Increase the force under
his command, that a. thousand volul-
teers 10 Arkansas, and another ia Mis-
souri,. taised agreeably to this act,
would be enrolled and held ready for
the service. This force, aided by the
portions Of the Dragon regiments that
would be stationed in that quarter, and
those oftberegular army already there,
were deemed amply sufficient for the
protection of the frontier near to the
Indians referred to-, There are no
reasons set forth Id, the reputation
which the General has since made up-
on you, to justify the belief that the
force, above enumerated will be insult
fcient, and ] cannot therefore sane
ton it at the present time. To sanc-
ton that requisilion for the reasons
which accompany IL, would warrant
the belief that it, was done TO aid Tex-
as, and not from a desire to prevent
an Infringement Of our territorial or
national rights.
deeply regret that the Tennessee
Volunteers, whose proves and patri.
otism are displayed so promptly on all
occasions that threaten the peace or
safety Of their beloved county, have
been, called out 90 this occasion with
out proper confederation. They can
for the present only be mustered Into
the service and discharged. If there
are funds appropriated out of which
they can be paid, an order to this eff
feet will be given.
:, The ten thousand volunteers author.
lied under the late act of Congress
are intended for one years service, and
must be employedto meet all necessa-
~, calls for, the defence Of our frontier
borders. Should the occasion arise
for a.greater number on the Western
frontier, the call would be made on
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, aud Illinois.
There is, however, no information to
justify the apprehension Of hostiliies,
TO any serious extent, from the Yves
nessee will be ordered to the Western
frontier as soon as their service can be
with where they now are
I would barely add further, that the
authority givenyou BY the order Of the
4th Of May having, been satisfied BY
yielding to the requisition Of. General
Gaines, new authority from the De-
partment Of War was necessary to au.
thnrise you to comply with that Of the
2Sth of June. The, Government. Of
the United States having adopted, in
regard to Mexico and Texas, the same
rule Of neutrality which had been OBJ
served in all similar cases before, 1t
was not to have been expected that
General Gaines should have based this
for additional military foise
on reasoua plainly inconsistent with
the obligation Of that rule.
Should Mexico insult. our national
flag, or invade our. territory, or inter
rupt our citizens in the lawful pursuits
TO them by the treaty, then
the Government will promptly, repel
the Insult, and take speedy PREPARATION
for the injury, But it does not seem
that offences, Of this character have
been committed. by Mexico, OF we're
believed to have beeas. by General
Gaines, Lam, very respectfully, your
obediens servant, !. ,,5,
