MAJOR EYRE-This gentleman sought and
obtained a commission as Major of cavalry in
the troops that were destined for service en-

gated for them to proceed to Texas he re-
signed. The latter order having been re-
voked, he withdrew his resignation, and took
his place as Major. This singular conduct is
thus explained by the Sacramento Bee of
Monday:

us that he did seek and was proud to obtain
the commission; that he did so without the
knowledge or consent of his wife, and that SO
soon as she ascertained the fact she was sore
ly grieved. Sill she bore with it until the
order came changing the destination from the
plains to Texas This was too much for her.

Texas she could not and her continued en-
treaties and opportunities forced him to send
in his resignation. lie consented with great
reluctance, for the position suits his tastes.

first tap of the drum and uniting with some
loyal regiment there 50 soon as Col. Garlic
ton learned of his resignation-we have seen
the letters-he wrote him repeatedly to re-
consider his action and withdraw it.

troublous question had arisen in it. 1t ap-
pears that, although commissioned. Eyre had
never been mustered into the service hence
