A CAItD.'
Mil. 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. It is untruo?it is without foundation?it
is as faldo a5} it is malicious.
* Very respectfully, . '

Consolation.?A Captain in the army hav
ing half his coat tail burnt off by standing in
meditative position too near.a log fire, had t(
curtail its fair proportions until only about si?
inches were left of what was once his coat' tail
Having to ride through Cojquitt's brigade tin
other day, he was saluted with remarks sucl
as, 4tI say, mister, rise in youf stirrups, yon'n
sitting on your coat tail/' "Look here old fel
low, what do yon ask lor that long tailed jack
ct ?" 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. I've tried my best to stoj
'em, but it is no use. Every time a <! ?d foo
passes here ihoy will holler at him."
