see by paragraph in last MONDAYS Bos-

fall to go to Tennessee to labor In the Quarter
masters department, have been subjected to
outrageous treatment, not to say sWindling.
They have been starved, feeeed, ordered TO 90
into the ranks, discharged without pay, &c.
Your readers may recollect one Clark, who
appeared in Portland last summer, and an
nouncsd himself authorized to engage persons
for that service. Mayor Mcclellan Ia live

telegraphed Gov. Cony to see If any person had
a right toruu men, liable to military duty, out
Of the State on any pretence whatever. The
Governor telegraphed the Secretary of War 10
see what it all meant. Secretary Stanton re-
piled that Clark had no authority for his course
and that he was probably some crimping agent
and that we had right to proceed against
him according to our laws, although the De-
partment could not prevent his hiring men, if
they were simple enough to trust him. Clark
was according arrested, and shortly afterwards
hustled unceremon iously out of the State. The
sequel proves the wisdom of the views then
entertained by those in authority. a9FH
