Capt. Barnard, with this order from Gen. Williams,
reported himself to Col. Hawkins for duty, and was
received In like manner rs before and on furnishing
his decision in writing TO Gen. Williams, he lCo. l

The arrest Of Col. Hawkins left Lieut.-Col. Belts
in command, who assigned Capt. u. his company, OF
receiving an order from Gen. Williams to that effect.
How this conflict between Col. Hawkins and
Gov. Morgan will end remains 10 be seen. 1t ID TO
be regretted to cay the least, thai controversy oil
this nature should spring up at this time. COL nav.
kns looks upon this transfer as an Insult 70 himself
and regiment, which he feels called upon to resent.
Having one of the finest regiments in the iield' ana
ever Jealous of their rights, b. II the first to step
forward to defend ther good name, even 'nough nc
Inc sacricced. lie is a daring, Intrepid officer, OF
commanding influence, whose bravery none WIN
dare 10 question. While in command OF this Post ne
Qancd the confidence and esteem Of all the loyal ILL
Sabitants, whose properly he saved, and in wlose
welfare he was deeply interested As an Illustration
of his decsion of character and high sense oi rGht
would refer you TO the proupt manner IN which he
dealt with the tlieying IGopensiiies oil Ge'man

place was captured. II was feared that Tins transfer
would cause au instruction in tie regiment destined
TO be Of serious character, from the excitement ex
