The Maj Genl Comdg being absent 113 102/114 Head Quarters Dist of Alabama Montgomery July 28th 1866 Nininger Capt A Ramsey Asst Adjt Genl Dept of the South Macon Ga Captain I have the honor to state that I was informed by Gov Patton this afternoon that a band of Outlaws were engaged in St Clair County in burning houses, and robbing the people, that the Civil Authorities were powerless in the matter, and that he might be obliged to call in the Military Authorities for assistance. That he had Telegraphed to the State Official at Talladega to go into St Clair and investigate, and that he would take no action until he heard from him. He stated that the band as reported to him, consisted of from Forty to One Hundred men, and that they defied all civil authority. Since hearing Governor Patton's statement the enclosed report has been received from our Supt at Talladega which places a different phase on the affair. From this report it will appear that the trouble is between Union men and Rebels, growing out of an attack of the latter on the former, and that one of the union men has been killed but no action taken by the Civil Authorities. If considered necessary by the Maj Genl Comdg. an Officer can be sent from these Hd Qrs to investigate the affair, and he can be furnished with a small guard from Selma should he find that the circumstances warrant, he can arrest the party who committed the Murder. Very Respectfully Your Obedient Servant C Cadle Jr Bvt Col & A.A. Genl. The Comdg Genl being absent
