a. will SAY 10 YOU. that the dissatisfaction both
here and at Camp Walker is universal except one

The second cause paint the cold reception
you gave the different companies that have march
ed to Camp Walker The third cause Of compla mt
Is the treatment some OF the companies have rece
we'd at Camp Walker. Some have 10 tents or shell
ter, and have been exposed to the rain and storms
for several days and have been compelled to shift

fifth cause OF complaint Is. that companies raised
for SIX months YOU have insisted mastering them

greatly to be regretted and should be corrected if
possible, without too great sacrifice. The success
OF our cause depends upon, to great extent, con
cert OF action interest, cause, our destiny

Council Of Officers at Camp
Walker.
Rumored against Gen. Pearce, that Mr..
Smith, his father in-law, owns the Real
Estate upon which Camp Walker is situat
ed, and expects to get $40, 900 for the same
by reason of which said camp was located
on said land.
Eri1snee of T. l.. Smith, Fl. L. Tinnin,
and Col. Frank Hectu,, 49,. -. -, al
above charge, upon which was
ReR el. That we the commissioned officers of
CainI ~ alkeF fully convinced FROM the testi-
mony of the above gentlemen, that the above ru-
NOR is wholly unfounded.
RUMoR 2d.-That certain Indifferent flour
heretofore sent to this Camp, was made from
old damaged wheat, which has been for a
great length Of time in DIR. Smiths Mills.
Evidence of II. y. Anderson, and Capt.
Gratiot, was taken upon the above charge,
upon which it was
Resot1ed That such flour was not purchased 0!
DIR. Smith
RuMoR 3d--That DR.. Smith has the con-
tract TO furnish flour for this Camp at SO per
100 pounds.
ReSotred further, That the testimony adduc ed
eonvinces US. fully that DR.. Smith has contract
whatever, which has any connection with this
Camp.
RUNoR 4th-That Gen Pearcc, when he
came from Little Rock, brought with him
$4,000. to buy provisions for this Camp,
and deposited it at DR.. Smiths, and intend $
to keep it there, instead of using it as in
tended.
I'esoloed. That also convinced .son the
evidence, that the 4th charge runor is uufouni-
ed and wholly false.
RUMoR 5th.-That Gen. Pcarcc has been
direlict OF duty, in failing to furnish the
men with tents and other camp necessaries !;
IN explanation oIwhich Capt. Gratiot states
that Gen. Pearce was not i'll camp before
said companies arrived, and that he, Graft
OF was commanding officer in camp, and
that lie ordered one o. said companies, to-
wit, Capt. Mckissick's into certain house,
belonging to the Harmonial Society, and
Mchissiek turned over his tents to Capt
Kelly, and thatall other arrangements were
made that could be made for their comfort
sick properly cared for, etc. Also that
Capt. Mckissick' 5 company have never COM
plaincl Of their condition. Also that Gen.
Pearcc was absent on duty during the entire
time, and that he, Capt. Gratiot, ordered
the Qdartermaster to deliver to tie comps
MES lumber on the ground when demanded
for camp uses.
ReSotrsd, That the above statement fully salts
tics us that the above charge IS wholly false.
RUNoH 6th.-That Gen. Pearce ha, au-
pointed none but his relations to places in
his staff.
/ Resaiosd That from all the testimony we are
fully convinced that po improper motives infucnc-
e'i the General, IN APPOINTING Col. james p Spring

Fetent to discharge the duties Of his office. Also,

We the officers OF the volunteers, now
present at Camp Walker, under the COM
mand OF Gen. Pearce, and the only ones af
iected by his policy, have met in council
end after an impartial investigation OF al
the rumoIs and charges here made, do state
that they are all without foundation, and
that we, for the general welfare OF ourselve:
in the cause in which we have embarked
make request that these rumors should cease
and in all cases to be discountenanced, as
they tend to throw damper on the militia
~ ardor Of the troops, and, also, 70 sow the
seais of discord and mutiny III our midst.
We make this request as the only ones in
terestei, and as all these rumors were SUP
ported by such trivial evidence, We would
request that, hereafter, all charges should
be made in the manner prescribed by law,
against al officers i'll order that the origi-
nator Of charge be known and be lequir-
Gu TO support il.
In testimony Of our belief in these pro-
ccedings, we have hereunto set our hands
this Sth June, 1861.

whether ! had the right to capture the per-

doubt that had tire right to capture ves-

pressly referred to in all authorities, sub

domination of the captain of the vessel

but these gentlemen were not dispatches
in the literal sense Nowhere could find
a case in point. They had been pre-
scented to the Captain General of Cuba by
the British Consul General, but the Cap
tain General told me he hadn't received
