A serious quarrel is reported to have taken place between Price and McCulloch, concerning the disposition to be made of these supplies.

The former was in favor of leaving the large amount of stores, of which, bacon was the chief article, that it might fall into our hands.

He argued that we had occupied the country, and would stay there until driven out.

Our army would be subsisted at all hazards.

If we found this large quantity of bacon, it would obviate the necessity of our foraging upon the country and impoverishing the inhabitants.
General McCulloch opposed this policy, and accused Price of a desire to play into the enemy's hands.
