Mr. Wilson moved to amend the bill, so that the commissary-general, who was to have the rank a brigadier-general, should be appointed by selection, and the other officers by regular promotion.

Major Taylor, the officer in command, told them that he had orders to shoot them, but that if they promised him that they would not run away again, he would let them off; sost of them were finished, we were again ordered to change camp, and go to a permanent one for the winter, on the Seawillows, thirty miles from where we were.
