A sham battle will be ordered to
take place on the last day of the en-
campment.
At this camp of instruction discipline
necessary for its success will be en-
forced, and it is confidently believed
that the splendid manhood that repre-
sents the soldierly instincts of Texas
will have but to know their duties to
perform them well. The uniform of a
volunteer soldier is badge of honor,
and he who dons it will require no
rigorous measures for the enforcement
OF that discipline, the regulations of
which, soldier is in honor bound to
obey.
The adjutant general reports that
he has positive assurance from Gen.
Stanley, in command of the army post
at San Antonio that a good big force
OF infantry and others will attend the
state encampment of the volunteer
guards next month. The presence Of
these regulars will add greatly to the
success or the occasion. Their exam
pie will be good and the action of Gen.
Stanley is much to be commended.

one from the county attorney of one
of the leading counties of West Texas
requesting information in regard to
the wolf scalp law, for the purpose of
instructing the commissioners court
and others who do not seem to under
stand the general powers delegated to
them. In the letter several very per-
tinent queries are propounded and
statements made as follows:
Under the scalp act soon to go into
effect, will the commissioners courts
of the several counties be compelled to
exhaust their general funds in pay
ment for scalps, or can they, under
Article 968, revised statutes, set aside
so much of said fund as is necessary to
Iefray probable current expenses and
use the remainder as far as it goes in
paying for scalps, or can they set aside
a certain per cent of the general fund
for scalp purposes each year, and
when the same is exhausted let the
scrip be registered against the next
years tax. If something of the kind
is not done the treasures of all the
western counties will be depleted of
