Major-General Halleek has nestled the following
order :
Head Quarters Department of Missouri, Feb. 23,1862.
The Major-General commanding. the department desires
to impress upon all officers the importance of preserving
good order and discipline among their troops, and as the
armies of the West advance into' ennessee and the Southern
States, let us show to our fellow-citixens that we oome
merely to crush out the rebellion, and restore to them the
peace and benefits of the constitution and the Union, of
which they have been deprived by selfish and unprincipled
leaders.
They have been told that we mine to oppress and plunder.
By oar acts we will undeoeivii. We will prove to them
that we come to restore, not to violate, the constitution and
, the laws. In restoring to them the glorious flag of the
Union, we will assure them that they shall enjoy uoder its
folds the same protection of life and property as in former
days.
'Soldiers ! let no excess on your part tareish the glory of

our arms.
The order heretofore issued from this department in re-
gard to pillaging, marauding, and the destruction of private
property, and stealing, and the concealment of slaves, moat
be strictly enforced. It does not belong to the military to
decide upon the relation of master and slave. Such ques-
tions must be settled by the civil courts. No fugitive
slave will, therefore, be admitted within our lines or
camps, except when specially ordered by the general com-
manding. Women and children, merchants, farmers, me-
chanics, and all persons riot in WWII, are regarded as non.
combatants, and are not ton be molested, either in their
Manor or their property. If, however, they mist and Rid
the enemy, they become belligereati, and will be treated
as such. As they violate the laws of war, they will be
made to suffer for such violation. Military stores and
public property of the enemy must he surrendered, sod any
