SOME FEELING STIRRED UP
AGAINST THE EIGHTH.
IL is Claimed That It Had Much to
10 With Bringing About the
mastering Out of the Sixth
and Seventh,

Among the men Of the Sixth and Sew
enth California regiments are quite
number who, with the officers, do not de-
sire TO be mustered out These men and
oIncers have an idea that they have been
Jobbed' by the Eighth California They
go so far as to state that the mastering
out of the Sixth and Seventh was brought
ABOUT by the officers of the Eighth, who
wish TO remain in service 1t is said that
on this account the feeling against the
Eighth is very bitter, and that If that
regiment is brought over to the Preside
and comes in contact with certain men of
the Sixth and Seventh there is consid-
cradle likelihood of a collision. The mill
tary authorities have been informed of
this condition of affairs and will take
pains to prevent anything of the kind oc-
curing.
Lieutenant Colonel Darlington goes to
Vancouver. Wash, with four companies
of the Eighth, and Colonel Henshaw with
another battalion will be stationed at
Benicia, three companies go to Fort
Point and one TO Alcatraz
The actual work of mastering out the
Seventh Regiment was commenced yes
terday morning by Captain Pratt. The
preparatory work will consume some
before the regiment leaves for Los An
geles to be furloughed for thirty days,
after which the men will reassemble
there for the purpose of being finally paid
was in constant communication yester-
day with the heads of the various bu-
reauS at Washington relative to the
disposition of Government property be-
longing at present to the regiment.
Captain Danes, who will muster out the
Sixth, will begin work just as soon as the
other companies of that regiment arrive,
which should be tomorrow night. The
men of the Sixth are opposed TO the thirty
days furlough, as they will have to sup
port themselves during that time. Their
petition that they be not given a furlough
has been forwarded to the War Depart
ment by General Miller for decision in
the matter.
The following dispatch received yester-
day by General Miller from Adjutant
General Corbin places the mastering out
and all questions relative to the same in
the power and discretion of the depart
ment commander, to whom 1t is directed:
The Secretary of War directs in the muster
out of the Sixth and Seventh California Regi-
ments of Volunteers that ii be done with the
mastering officer under your direct supervision:
that is that you give the necessary order for
transportation and subsistence and give the
mastering officer such support and the matter
such attention that there will be no lack of I'M
until the property is turned in and these
relieved from service. This is a matter re-
Quirng your personal attention no less than
that of all the staff officers of the staff de-
partment.
In regard to the men of these two COM
mands joining other organizations, Gene
raj Miller has received from the adjutant
generals office the following dispatch:
The Secretary of War does not deem it ad-
visable to transfer men of the Sixth and Sew
enth California Volunteers to other volunteer
regiments that are to remain in the service.
