Excerpt from Official Correspondence With the Department of War, Relative to the Military Operations of the American Army Under the Command of Major General Izard, on the Northern Frontier of the United States in the Years 1814 and 1815 The people, in our free and happy country, have the right to expect information respecting events of national interest; and every man, who has been placed in a situation of trust in the public service, is amenable to the great tribunal of public opinion, - whose judgments differ from those of posterity, only inasmuch as time exposes to the latter, misrepresentations which not unfrequently involve contemporary history in doubt and Obscurity.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Official Correspondence of Brig. Gen. W. S. Harney, U. S. Army, and First Lt. Geo; Ihrie, Late U. S. Army: With the U. S. War Department, and Subsequent Personal Correspondence Regularity of transmission was, in this flagrant case, purposely sacrificed by me to "irregularity," for the purpose of stopping further abuse of authority. I only regret I did not, at the time, "irregularly" report to the Commander-in-Chief, Harney's use of United States transportation, in furtherance of his scheme of peculation. George Ihrie, Late United States Army. Headquarters, Department of Oregon, Fort Vancouver, W. T., December 9, 1859. Colonel: I have the honor to return Colonel Merchant's communication and enclosure, with the following explanation, in connexion with the enclosed copies of letters from these headquarters to the commander of Fort Vancouver, dated July 23, and August 4, 1859. It is proper on this occasion to call the attention of the War Department to the three officers whose reports Colonel Merchant considers irregular. First Lieutenant George Ihrie, who temporarily commanded "B" and "D" companies, has since tendered his resignation, and I trust, for the honor of the service, it has been accepted. This resignation was hastened by the fact of an officer having testified before the general court-martial which assembled for the trial of First Lieutenant Lyman M. Kellog, 3d artillery, that he would not believe Lieutenant Ihrie under oath, in any matter in which he was at all interested. The general opinion of Lieutenant Ihrie's character, with those in the service who know him, is but little better than that above recorded. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. S. Harney, Brigadier General Commanding. Col. S. Cooper, Adj. Gen. U. S. A. Washington, D. C. St. Louis, Mo., July 29, 1860. Col. S. Cooper, Adj't Gen. U. S. A. Sir: In the "official correspondence of Brigadier General Harney relating to the affairs of the Department of Oregon," published by Congress, is a letter to you, dated December 9, 1859, containing the following statement in regard to me, viz: "I trust, for the honor of the service. Lieutenant Ihrie's resignation has been accepted. This resignation was hastened by the fact of an officer having testified before the general court martial which assembled for the trial of First Lieutenant L. M. Kellogg, 3d artillery, that he would not believe Lieutenant Ihrie under oath, in any matter in which he was at all interested.
