account is given of the offenses referred against Mackall: "I beg leave to ask that Assistant Paymaster
R. L. Mackall, of the C.S. Steamer 'Morgan' may be brought before a Naval Court Martial and tried
under the following charges. First. 'Disrespect to his superior officer.' Second: 'Unofficer-like conduct.'
1st Specification: In that he did on the 19th of May, 1862, when ordered by Flag Officer Randolph in his
office in the city of Mobile, to take up his quarters on shore so as to give his attention to his duties as
Paymaster of all the vessels of the Flotilla, replied in a loud disrespectful tone: 'I was ordered by the
Hon. Secretary of the Navy to the steamer 'Morgan', and if you order me on shore from her, I will
report the fact to the Secretary, and see whose order is to stand.' - or words to that effect. 2nd
Specification: In that he did, on the 20th of May, 1862, write a letter to Commodore F. Forrest, Chief of
Bureau of 'Orders & Detail', couched in highly offensive language, when speaking of his Commander in
Chief, and likewise falsely charging him with being in a passion. Second Charge. 1st Specification: In
that he did on the 21st July, 1862, write a letter to Hon. S.R. Mallory, Secretary of the C.S. Navy, wherein
he speaks of his Commander in Chief as having made an 'infamous charge' against him, (Mackall) and
further asks to be relieved or detached from the Mobile station, 'because', he says, he 'can, under the
circumstances, have no respect for the Flag Officer,' and with whom it is very disagreeable for him 'to
have any intercourse.' In submitting these charges and specifications, I beg leave to call the attention
of the Department to the fact that Asst. Paymaster R. L. Mackall gives utterance to these bare
allegations and offensive epithets before any proof has been adduced to show that I merited them. I
repeat my earnest request, that Asst. Paymaster Mackall be brought to trial, so that the discipline of
the service may be vindicated."; secretary Mallory sent a letter to MacKall dated September 22, 1862,
stated that the Naval Court Martial at which Mackall had been tried, had handed down a verdict that
he was to be publicly reprimanded, and thus the sentence was passed; Mackall died on board the CSS
Morgan on August 11, 1863. [ORN 2, 1, 292 & 321; Register1863; 1850 U.S. Census; Confederate Navy
