INC Gorernor.s statement.

There has been much more talk
about the condition of the troops than
necessary. 1t certainly added much to
our trouble in organizing regiments,
but the State has done everything that
| could be done. Lieut.. Samuel Seay, of
the regular army, was appointed by the
State and also by the government as
quartermaSter and commisSary, but
construed his orders to mean he was
responsible to the government alone,
and should report purchases direct. At
first inclined to take issue, but upon
reflection determined not to, because
the government, under his interpreta-
ton, is paymaster, and the State hav-
ing no appropriation for this purpose, 1
wished no controversy. The exigencies
made preparation impossible.
I'VE must excuse the situation be-
cause, though the men are willing to do
their duty, they have not yet learned
it. l shall from time to time visit the
camp in person, and whatever failures
in duty there may be affecting the com.
fort of the troops l shall surely bring
to the attention of the authorities at
Washington. In ten days | believe
they will be in ship-shape and brigade
of veterans"
The Second Is the only regiment yet
turned over to the government, and
while all were modified at Nashville
under State orders, commiSsaries are
issued just as if the men were under
Uncle Sam.
Adjt.-Gen. sykes explains that his
hands have been tied by the ruling of
Lieut.. Sea-, and Lieut.. Seay explains
by reverting to the disorganization.
1t is difficult to locate the blame, but
one would never imagine that there
was any blame by watching the mems
rolliclky life. They may talk little,
but don't kiIk hard. All know that as
soon as organization is perfected every
thing will be well. This rule applies
to the men.
The commissioned officers are some
what holder, but naturally feel deli
cacy in being quoted. Each regiment
seems TO feel that both the others get
the best of it, but l don't think par
TALLY has been displayed to any ma
terial extent.
l saw Camp Taylor today under the
most unfavarable of conditions. The
storm of Thursday night played havoc.
1t was drilling, and that penetrating
weather peculiar to limestone sections
made everything unpleasant. More
over, the Seconds portion of the camp
was being torn up and moved to the
Centennial grounds. The boys have
been furnished with baled straw for
tent flooring, and those who have had |
them covered this with blankets.
