leave undOne what it ought to do if it fails

pOned The idea is intolerable, that under any

the 18th ult., IN which you attempt to justify
the act Of party of soldiers misled by an Off
Ger who forcibly entered citizens premises
and destroyed his property, is received. You
will please explain why this act was not pre-
vented by the Post Commander, and if the re-
qUirements of the 32d article of war had been
complied with. Your assertion that the mill
tary forces are not servants of the people of
Arkansas, but masters, is unjust to both people
