and Craig streets, where Orange Hall and
St. Patrick's Hall are respectively situated
there is absolutely nothing to show that q

RECORD. T." b.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Offlcers of the
army now here are very much annoyed at q
paragraph sent from here yesterday, pur>
porting to reject their views as to the con-
duct of Captain Perry in not sending Q
force to assist Captain Randall and bis men
when 1t was first discovered that the Indians
we're moving on them in large force. There
are many officers here who have a personal
acquaintance with Captain Perry, and they
all speak of him in the highest terms. At
the War Office his record is unexceptionable,
and his last two brevets of lieuten ant. co!o-
mel and colonel we're for gallant and meri-
