Colonel McCray has been ordered to establish his headquarters at Jacksonport, to collect all the troops in that section, and to organize them into regiments prior to the formation of a brigade. I found on my arrival here squads and companies scattered all over the country, some with informal passed and furloughs and a large majority without any authority for being absent at all; in fact, I have yet to learn of a single company or battalion being in camp or in a effective condition. I do not wish by these assertions to cast the least reflection upon you, as I am satisfied you have not been afforced the co-operation of junior officers which have been extended toward you.

Please inform me by return courier if you can meet me by Sunday at Augusta.

I am, general, very respectfully,

JO. O. SHELBY,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

CIRCULAR.] HDQRS. DISTRICT OF INDIAN TERRITORY,

Fort Towson, C. n., June 15, 1864.

The major-general commanding publishes with great pleasure the subjoined resolutions of the Fifth Regiment Texas Partisan Rangers, Colonel L. M. Martin commanding.

They breathe the right spirit. They show that desertion is not part if the creed of these men. They pledge themselves, should occasion offer, to emulate the glorious heres who from Virginia to New Mexico have immortalized the Texas soldier.

While Texans are upholding the honor and renown of their glorious State in this mighty struggle now going on-never before equaled in the world's history-what can be thought of the cowardly skulks who are deserting their comrades and country, and of the equally low-down scuffs who uphold them in it? Let every soldier i the Indian Territory determine to be a man, and fight the thing out. Let desertion be a "stink ball" in the nostril of every soldier.

S. B. MAXEY,

Major-General, Commanding.
