insurrection seemingly taking new
lease on life. All along the American
lines the rebels are showing more
aggressive activity, in their guerrilla

clothes and constantly on the alert
against dashes upon our outposts and
they make life warm for the Ameri

The bands of Gen. Luna and Gen

or four days before he sent the check
to Gov. Ellerbe. l think you will
receive the checks in the course of
ten days
~ exhibited to him the submitted
copy of the act you sent me and he
said this was all right, and 81 SO per
day would be allowed by the gov
ernment He further informed me
that when there was no special form,
and none would be required for
making out claims of officers and
men. the rolls must show the names,
number of days served between the
entry into the service and the muster
in, The amount due each with receipt
from each man
"He further said there must be the
certificate of some military officer as
to correctness of the rolls and also
attached to each a copy of the act
such as you sent me think the
form of roll adopted by Capt Carson,
Judging from the duplicate of it you
sent to me, will do. The auditor said
it must appear that the men actually

the accepted and rejected men will
be paid for the time between enroll

army But receipt for each indi'
vidual man must be had, and the
sooner the captains forward the rolls
the sooner will the men be paid An

up correct rolls
An effort will be made to secure a

it being obtained. as the regiment
