GEY. j. w. FHcH, CAMP TAYLoR-DEAR
SIR Il have your telegram Of this date,
advising that Capt. Backman'S aud Capt.
Monroe'S command have 10 day disbanded,
being unwilling 10 enlist for three years
Gen. Carrugton being absent, | cuunul
learn from his Department whether these
companies are attached to any regiment,
but l infer they are not, and therefore have
dlSOanded under the order of the Adiutant
General OF the 18th inst, which directs all
companies not attached to any regiments,
and declining 10 accept the three years ser.
vice, 10 dSDaud Immediately, as no more
companies for three mouths service vii be
accepted 10y the Government" Am right
as TO these companies
regret that there has been any misun.
derstaudlng, us learn to-day there has
been, III relation 10 the State paying Il e
transportation to their homes of the dis
oanJIug companies. certainly never iu.
teuded 10 let such companies pay their
transportation to their homes The patr.
oIc motives that prompted them TO offer
Their services 10 their country entitled them
TO as much consideration aud regard as #
they had become Incorporated into all Or
ganized regiment. That they bad not been
50 attached Is no fault of theirs, bat their
misfortune, in too few regiments being o.
gauzed 10 embrace them. The country
owes them some gratitude, aud the State
Ihe same protection as if they
were paris Of organized regiments. Let
me say, therefore, that in regard TO all such
companies, | expect them to be as well car
ed for as any other companies, and when
they dlsband because Of their uuwillnguess
TO enter upon the three years service,
desgu. to have tn IN promptly and cumfOrtly
transported 10 their BONES, al the expense
OF the state, sufficient ralions TO be furnish.
ed them on their journey in ever in.
stance
There is no dispositionin this Department
or IN any other, to deny to our gallant vol.
unleers, attached or unattached to regi
menls, all the comforts that Gao be given
them. Many hardShips aud privatiOus will
necessarily, in the confusion inseperabe
from the sudden OrgiuzatiOn of large mill.
! ta'y 'orce among people like ours, have to
oe encountered But so far as any effort
on my part, aud those with whom | am of.
ucial'y associated, eau diminish or remove
'uese nardahlps, it shah be done. While
m Tue eHTaordinay demands upon our State
treasury, caused by the preparation for war
require the exercise Of the greatest eceopo
my on the part Of all connected with the
administration of the State. the neonIs do
not require, nor do they pect, a niggard.
ly policy in regard to the Volunteers Oo
the contrary, they will be only satisfied with
a jnst liberality toward them under all cir.
cumstances.
In reply to your inquiry, whether com.
panies now in camp, not mustered into regi
ments, willing TO serve for three years, will
be accepted, can only say 10 the Ian,
gnSge Of the circular, of the 18th inst
"that companies rendering for three year
an order will be published designating The
companies accepted" trust to be able
in few days, TO advise what companies will
be received
Respectfully, W DESyIsoy
