We, the undersigned, members Of the Chicago
Dragons, being aware Of an attempt to injure,
traduce and ca1umniata the official character Of
Cspt. Barker, and Others connected with the Dra-
goons, On the part Of number Of discontented
ard defurct members Of the ''home equsd,' recent
II attached 10 the company and knowing their
sole aim to be to bring the company and its officers
into disrepute, for the purpose Of gratifying petty
pe-eoIal spites, and ayenging fancied wrongs,
at the expense Of dlshonor to the whole COM
pary ard to Chicago, hereby protest against their
scandalona proceedings and base mIsrepresenta-
ticns.
Webelievc their charges to be utterly ground
less, conceived only hJ uns crupulous personal am
tition and morbid dest!c .odepriye those Of hon
OF to when honor is justly due.
We belleye CHpt. Barker to be worthy OF the
confidence and respect Of the men under his COM
maId. md Of the highest esteem Of all patriots
AID good citizens, Re we'll as the high regard he

the absurd and conflicting charges, above alluded

with Capt. Barker thus far during the war, and
