zion of the several Resolves of jan 24th and Feb.
20th is such as have stated, the whole Of the ex
penditures for the civil posse, beside the amount
frst appropriate ed lost to the State through your
mistake and Encouragement For this loss OF about
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, you are justly
chargea6ie, As well might you have dispensed alto
gether with military aid, and instead of $50 men
have placed the whole force required under the Land
Agent and thus relieved the General Government
from all claims for expedtuFes made by the State
in that expedition, Had the Legislature omitted
to prescribe your course, common prudence would
have warned you against the consequences OF having
two separate and independent detachments, under
different leaders, neither subordinate TO the other,
engaged in that service Jealously and pickering
would naturally arise between bodies Of men thas
placed, especially while one party were paid enor-
nous wages and provided with good and abundant
fare, and the other subject to all the
hardshps, fatigue and priva;ions of winter military
campaign and soldiers pay. And ask you If in
point of fact the commander of the military forces
did not quarrel during the greater part of the time
they were out in that expedition Did yoa not re-
ceive repeated complaints from Charles Jarvis, as
proy siona Land Agent, against the militia and their
commander? Wretched and ill-aa7ised were
your measures, and for these you are wholly re-
sponsible. the manner in which they cond ucted
and carried out no less Objectionable and will
next claim attention VER!TAS. .
