Editor : I learn, to my surprise, that a report lias beqn circulated against mo to the following euecr, to wit: "Hi.it 1, in the year of 1862, raised a company prelcnsivcly for service, when my real object was to (in the classic iS&guago of the reportevs,) keep menjout of service^and that I did, in this way, keep a number of men out of service up to February or March 1864, who should have been in serried long since. This is tho report. The facts, Mr. Editor, are as follows: , T did ra'^o a Cavalry Company in March 1862, with the bona fide purpose of taking them into the servioe? my health was very bad (as it still is) but many of my friends who wished themselves to join me, and others ' who had sons and relatives whom they wished to serve under nio, urved me to raise a company. I-odnsented to do so, and soon succeeded?had {lie names of ninety-lour meu on my list,'and as good men too as a ever we tit irom KersUaw^Distriot?had fixed on a day for organising, When, to 1113' surprise, this novel, this i rftmnrknple governmental iustiiution called "Tho Kx. ecutive Council," passed a resolution prohibiting any more Cavalry Companies from going into service?I was therebjr estopped from further proceeding in that direction. 1 at once?as soon as 'I could-?informed \ my men of the passage of the Resolution to which*! refer?that I could not hold thcin, and advised them to attach themselves to other companies, and this every man did, and weut> off to the army, with the cx. ception of ptrhnps, somo two or three wl?b have been, I understand, detailed for somo'purpose. These few men have, I believe remained at their homes, but noi through an}r act, advice or agency of ir.ir.e. The fore going, Mr. Editor, aro th* facia, and facts are stubborn things. The idea that I could thus sereon men fron : llieir reBpectivo liability to enter the nrf?}', oven if 1 were disposed to do so, is jirrpos/t;ohs. "Why, sir, s with my limited intelligence and information, I suppose that'the Chief Magistrate of the Southern Confedhmrrv ?"Jeff. Davis" himself?could not, if ho desired to dc it, piny-the game that I am charged with having ployed; and that I could keep men' at homo nndei their "vines and tig trees" ou such pretence, howover warmly I might desiro to do so. is > idiculowsly absurd The report is untrue?I give it the lie directly and une quivocally?its author and its repeaters aro liars ant Hcouudrels.

The Captain was not at all pleased a these and other similar remarks upon his per sonal appearance, but rode on in silence witl his face flushed and bis eyes dar'ing angri gliinces. Suddenly a soldier stopped in tin middle of the road, and respectfully giving tin military salute, said': "I hope, Captain, you won't mind the tall of these here boys.
