[communicated,
Mr. Editor.—I find mysejf plaood
in a disagrooablo position, and must
Vhcroforo trouble you with thU article.
I am daily called upon to fit out re
cruits for tho various companies who
havo left our county, nnd tho captfilns
of tlioso companies aro calling upou
me to fill up their ranks, thinned out
by tho shafts of tho onomy and disease;
and I am in R*situat‘on compelling mo
to refuse. It is duo to those compa
nies and tho public, that I givo my rea
sons for this course.
It is becauso the Inferior Court have
arranged, not to advance money to fit
out companies, nnless they will givo a
bond, promising to refund tho amount
so loaned or advanced. Now as l am
not authorised to givo such a bond, nnd
and some of tho companies have failed
to do so; a* 1 know not who will give
such a bond for ench company, or who
will go security on them, I must de
cline) taking up goods or having work
done for the companies. Neither can
1 pay tlioso amonnls eon track'd with
our merchants mid tailor-*, for thegoods
and work furnished to tlioso companies.
This is a hard case, ami bears particu
larly hard on our soldiers now ill ser
vice, as / could show, wero I to pub
lish letters received from them; now
thinly clad and ImrofooVuid suffering for
tho want of money pnid by tho 'Govern
ment, nnd withhold, in order to rofund
on tlioso bonds.
Tho people seem to havo understood
that tho action taken in tho meeting
which voted tho appropriation of $50,-
000 was absolute, nnd intondod to issue
in a bona title appropriation, of so much
of that amount as might bo found ne-
cossary to fit out companies, and sup
port tho families of volunteers. But
our Inferior Court, by wlmt authority
I know not, cliooso to put an en
tirely different construction on tlioso
resolutions, and say they moan that so
much as goos to the companies shall ho
lcanod, not appropriated or given. I
would like to soe tlioso proceedings In
print onco moro; perhaps 1 may be
ablo to find out how thoy get this con
struction.
For argument,» sako let us suppose
this Is the right construction, will not
tho wisdom of such a decision become
questionable, when hi the light of ex-
porienco, wo «eo how ontirely inade
quate such an arrangement hns proved
to^ho ? 1st, some of our companies left
tho connty not so well oqulppcd ns it
was hitoudcd thoy should be. 2d, niA'
ny of tho mon havo sufii red, nnd are
now suffering in camps, for tho want of
this appropriation, fid, tho calls and
pleadings of tho captains for moro new
men, must go unheeded. 4th, the of
fers of ablo bodied men to oullit, and
repair to the field of duty, have to bo
rofusod. fith. companies now in active
service who, on tho faitli of this nppro<
priation, made contracts beforo thoy
left, now know tlioso debts remain un
paid, mid arc annoyed by this mortify
ing fact. All this is being sufforod for
tho want of a moro liboral policy.
Mr. Editor, tho Court may bo right
in their position, perhaps tho notion of
that meeting was not sufficiently olonr.
I would seriously call tho attention of
all tho people of the county, to tho
dition of things. You havo published
to tho woild tl.at for given objects you
havo appropriated $30,000. Yet in the
faco of that declaration I, ns an ngor.t
of gevoru! companies, for whoso bonefit
this appropriation was mado, am com
pelled to ceaso all oporutioi.fi for tho
want of it. What was, and what is
your will in tho proinlsos, voters of
Floyd? Speak out uud speak quickly,
by town nnd district mootings, before
your county be disgraced. If you will
enquiront tlio depot you will find, that
one company from Alabama havo alrea
dy had a second supply sent out to them,
un agent with it, wliilo a number of
other companies, within a few days,
had thoir agents passing through here
with car loads of clothing, whilo from
your magnificent appropriation, not a
garment has gone to the suffering sol
dier. Tho ladies, God bless them, havo
sent some garments to each company,
but thoy did not got theui'out of your
loud sounding $50,000. 1 tell you, noj
a pair of socks has gono from that fund
to replenish tho stock of our
Perhaps thoy havo got this busiuos bet
ter arranged in Alabama, if so, wo hud
better find out tlioir system and adoj t
it, as it evidently lus resulted much
moro efficiently than ours.
I feel satisfied that wo havo made a
cruel failure in this mattor, and before
it can now bo repaired, our friends
must suffer from tho offsets of tho win
ter’s cold. But I ain not willing for
that reason to give up in despair, and
do nothing more. 1 would rdthcr urge
upon tho leading citizens of the county
to como out in their districts, and call
mootings, and express their views, nnd
say ivhat they wish the Court to do, so
that tho gcntlomen composing that
honorablo body may feel fully authoriz
ed to act, and mako ycur liberality
arailablo.
To bo of any sorvico, gentlemen, this
filing must bo done and done quickly.
In what I liavo said I speak both as tho
friend and Agont of our Volunteers
I hope none will take offence, but all
will perceivo that I could not do le
as I occupy a position where 1 must
know both the action of tho Court nnd
the wants of our comjmnies, better
than other porsons a ho have nothing
to do with thw.se things.

Mr. Editor.—l notico in your last

havo ever eaten.
For pickling 100 pounds beef. Tako
six gallons of water, nine pounds
of snlt, three pounds brown sugar,
one quart molasses, Uuz salt loz

Boil and Skim it well, and let it stand

Jix weeks, reboil the brine nnd return

Rems:
Of nows, tolerably oldaiid mostly un-

full. Olio idea is significant, to-wit—
our troops have fallen back on Fairfax Court
House! having abandoned, it is su*d, all
tho advanced posts, Munson’s and Ma
son’s Hills included. Two explanations
of this movement Imvo beon given.

cry of that lair land lias gone up to
heaven, the timo for vengenco is past

The papers of this morning contain
two astounding *tut< inonts. First, that
threo hundred residents of this city
and vicinity have registered themselves
ns alien enemies, and havu been per
mitted to depart witli pass|»ort blank as
to thoir personal description. .Second,
it turns out that tho delinquencies in
tho |ioslul service aro chargeable, not to
Mr. Reugun, but to tlio head of tlio
Coutmct Bureau—a Lincolnito official
up to tlio very day ho was templed
Southward by tho promise ot a fatter
office! Thus wo go. Tlichostutement*
ought not to excite special wonder,
tlio LincolmtcH hold tho chief places in
the Port-office, why not in the Pass port
Office ns woll? What wonder, then,
that tho paths are made smooth and
nnd the ways easy for absquatulating
aliens?
