sPnsaFHLD, H., Tuesday, Aug. %.
In my report Of the meeting of ths 18th
Inst, eafd that Mr. Truman, State Report
er, took sides against General Singleton. I
since learned that was mfslnformsd in ref.
| erence to Mr.. T. actin, and that he took
no Part In the meeting whatcver, either pub.
| lie or In Caucus. Mr.. T., although having
bfs own political views, Is not, I understand,
politician in the ordinary acccptatlon Of
thc term.
There are two or three regiments here to
be mustered cut, which have been for some
time awaiting their pay, but 1t appears that
the War Department orders were that only
yeterurs should be paid.
Governor Yates has been at work to have
| this changed, and, rs will be cen by the fol-
Ing dispatch,> has succeeded:
