To this memorial we tried to secure written
antwer, but failed. Gen. Haleck replied verbally,
that he knew nothing of loyalty, that the enemy
had spiea IN our CAMPS aud thai 10 make sure If
eludmg them he bad resolved 10 exclude all civil
Ians, and would make no exceptions. ii we could
suggest any way Of obviatipg THE difficulty iu our
case, he lad DO objection to our remaining. He al
legged no oiiense against any Of journalists. and
said, repeatedly " 1 have no objections TO what you
may wr1'e. care nothing about what the news-
papers publish"
Alter further CO. ference held at his suggestion,
We unicdly presented the following resolution:
TBet we will all prescn; to- Cen Hsllcok salts sctory
proc. OF our oyay give hun our whereabouts IN the arm
exact parole of honor which the Secretary Of War has an
dn to their sing within the lines under bis order
which Is nov IN force III ali the other military d.aInents o
the tnted States. .
Upon reaoiDg lie reaoluton. Gen. Halleck replied
abruptly, Ii will not do al ALI repeated that be
woui take no proofs ~ our LOYALTY and turned hit
back upon the COMMITTEE, who at once withdrew.
TIE order, IN its general application, is not rigdly
enforced. Many civilians remain in the camp; 9TH
ers pass in daily iron the without enc0uferlDg
any obstsc,es. Ca the day before our conference,
civilians rassed directly from Gen. Haiicck head
quarters on the most Travelled road through the
CAMPS, aud outside all our piekeis toward Corinth
without interruption. We ourselves nhsht nave re-
NAMED as the regimen,a and general officers freely
rendered us non bual military positions or ofeged to
assist otherwise i'll evading the order, but sef-respect
forbade Us to assume borrowed robes or dodge Pro
vost Marshas, by skulking like criminals III pltces
of concealmcnt. But one honorable course was left
Us-our immediate Withdrawal.
Two Of our number had passes authorizing them
pass within the lines Of any United States forces
issued at The War Department " by ORDER OF tine
Secretary Of War" aud signed by Col. Arson
Stager Gen. Halleck ssid he had no official knowl-
edge Of the issue OF such passes, and if lie had he
81 ould not respect them. Gen. llalleck snggc,ted
that If we would remain in the rear of the army ne
would furuish the ews. Inquiry, however, showed
hat he meaut mer " To give access 10 bulletin
hoard AZ Pilsburg Landing, II miles III the rear, or
witch are posted abstracts of the dispatches to Tho
Assoc lated Press.
! THUS far the Associated Press dispatches have
| been Just and trustH Onhy, but Gen. Hallock onl,
permits them so long they prepared under BIZ
/ tupervisOn by a member Of his stall.
/ Tie matter amounts, therefore, simply TO this, thai
Gen. iiaieok Tor The alleged purpose of riddnE th'
camy OF "s.ies determines that he people OF th'
United States shall have information in the public
press unless smuyged though) coicerring the con
clifton Of lis army, the treatment and conduct OF III
soldiers, or the management OF battles aud othe
