tain the following:
Col NJ Retel, Of Buffalo, having turned all Divis-
ion affairs over TO me, hereby assume command,
and seek the hearty cooperation Of the various
lamps and 9iIleers. The prospects that an early
change OF administration will soon be made ae-
eordlng to the articles Of consolidation Of the
Camp and Post systems rendered this course ueees-
sry, and IN view OF the fact that the time trans
Ter having Geen deferred until some time IN April,
and feeling that the Business of the Division ought
not to be longer neglected, the order seems neces
eessary. Headquarters are hereby established at
Horneilsyille, y. " and y. L. Harrison appointed
Adjutant, and A. j. OrsbuTn, of HOrneIlsviile n.
Y, Quartermaster. They viii be Obeyed and re-
specied accordingly. All communications pertain

ports must be addressed to n !. Harrison No

tienent OF differences mas long been mostapparent-
1t became q settled fGet long since that the only
way TO meet this question was by mutual cOnees-
sOns from both sides Camp and Post. IL = plain
to all VINO read the outline Of agreement between
superior officers that this has been done. While
it Is but natural that each side should feel that
many concessions may have been made 10 the other
side il is the desire of these Headq that the
members of the y. Y. Division shall TO q unit use
their influence to assist far as possible, lay
ing aside ali prejudice, to help carry consOlida-
ton forward to q completion Let Us each be
willing to meet cur friends Of the Post system in
the most cordial and friendly manner, laying aside
all past "reminiscences and extending the hearty
