Colonel Scott Insists that the rate of one cent a mils should be allotted, be- cause the movement fs wholly within the suite, and the war department sets aside a certain sum for Georgia to l>« used In moving her troops to Chlcku- mauga, another sum for payment of the men, and still another for sub sistence. These sums, amounting to about 818,000 In all, must bo used for ths specific purposes ngmed.
