at Charlottesville. In knocking about
the city he made the acquaintance of a
woodhauler of the name of Robert f.
Lee, and, taking great fancy to the
poor fellow, gave him check for
$4,000. "What shall do with this?"
the woodhauler asked. Take it to
the bank and have it cashed. or leave
it there as deposit in your own name
and draw against it., said the youth.
"It's all yours" The cashier, sus-
pecting foul play, refused to cash it,
and communicated with the young
man. who insisted that it was alright.
1t was then believed that the boy was
crazy, and his father was telegraphed
to. In the meantime Bobert f. Lee
was allowed to have 800 on account

MajS. Cruise and Fuller and Lieut..
Eames, all regular army officers are
surprised at the protests being made

appointments of AdiGtants and Majors
made by Gov. Stephens. They are
astounded that Lieut.. Col. Cavender.

jexperience. should refuse to recognize

The Governor certainly has the
right to make the appointments. said
Maj. Cruise, land while the Missouri
volunteers might not like the idea of
the Governor naming their officers.
to refuse to recognize the appointments
or in any way to openly protest
amounts almost to mutiny. and the
volunteers may get into serious
trouble over the matter.
The Governor has the right to APP
point even the company officers if he
wants to. but has shown the volun-
teers great consideration in allowing
them to elect their own
The Missouri boys should remem-
Der that they are not out on Il summer
picnic. but are soldiers of war. and it
is the duty of soldiers to obey whether
they like their officers or not.
Maj. Fuller said: Its rank fool

against the officers appointed over
them. and the sooner they accept the
situation the better it will be for
them.

Lieu. Eames. Il would give the Off,

teers just T. hours to recognize my
