The J. Battery.
[TO THE BDITOn] Sib.—You would be doing myself, in connection with some other members, a favor if you could let us know whether the above corps is defunct or not. If such is the case I should like to ask what is being done with the fqnds of the corps, which if you remember, the late Captain stated the Battery was flush of, Surely every member, or rather those that are left in, have a right to know how things are being carried on, instead of allowing them to be in the bands of two or three persons. The Battery being a public institution is the reason why I ask through your columns. At present it is impossible to make head or tail of the affair. If the corps is now disbanded there could only be one legal course fo pursue, and I hope you will be able to let us know wljen |:his is to be done.—l am &e., yotUNTBEB. [Our correspondent is rather hasty in his anxiety for information, but it proves that he takes an active interest in the corps. The position, we are informed, is that the appointfnent pf trustees is now being considered, and when things'are on a settled basis, a meeting of the members will be called, and the majority will be asked to decide what course is to be pursued.—Ed.]
