CoLoSEL MuNpY AND THE STATE MILITARY
BOARD.-We regret to learn that misunder-
standing, which threatens TO prove of
serious nature, has sprung up between Col
opel Mark Mundy and the Military Board at
Frankfort IL is well known that the Board
some time ago issued an order, requiring all
fiagmentary regiments and companies TO
consolidate, if not filled by the 10th of No
vember. At the expiration of the time al
lowed by the Board for Colonel Mundy TO
complete his regiment he was waited upon
by Hop. John W. MenZies, the officer ap-
pointed to superintend the consolidation
business in this section, who found that Col
onel Mundys regiment was not full, and he
commenced at once TO make arrangements
for uniting the men under Colonel Mundy
with some other organization.
This proceeding Colonel Mundy objected
to. He claims, we understand, that be holds
commission from the President, and did
not recruit his men under State authority.
The State has advanced the frst months
salary to all OF his men, amounting to about
$1,000, and since Colonel Mundy's refusal TO
consolidate, the Military Board hts ordered
| Paymsster r. A. Athey Ito pay no more
money to the soldiers who may hereafter be
| recruited by Colonel Mundy, aud also to pay
| no transportation bills or recruiting expenses
of any kind which he may contract. We
also learn that the supplies of provisions for
his men have been stopped, but of this we
know nothing.
1t is to be regretted that any difficulty Of
| this kind should occur st a time when troops
are needed 80 badly in Kentucky. We trust
the matter will be speedily arranged, to the
satisfaction of all parties, and that no time
will be lost in placing the regiment into ac-
tive service.
