MExICO, No., Aug. 8.
By tomorrow night or the next morning,
the county seats of Warren, Montgomery,
Lincoln, Galloway, Audraine, Pike, Rails,
Monroe, Randolph, Howard, Macon, Shelby,
Marion, Lewis, Knox, Lynn, Scott Clark,
and Livingston counties, by q simultaneous
movement, will be occupied by strong bodies
Of U. S. forces, the commanding officers Of
whom will appoint a committee of public
safety from among the most responsible eiIi-
zens Of the county, whose duty it shall be to
preserve the peace in their respective coun-
ties. Each committee shall consist of not
more than FIVE persons, and wherever 1t can
consistently be done, the proper county OIL
GERS shall be selected IS members. No one
thus appointed shall be permitted to decline,
or shall fail to perform his duties under such
penalties as the Commanding General shall
affix.
These Committees are charged according
to general orders issued by Gen. Pope, with
the duty of maintaining peace and order in
the respective counties, and shall have power
TO call out all citizens OF the county to assem-
BILE at such time and places, and in such
numbers as may be necessary to secure these
objects. ANY one who shall refuse TO obey
such call, will be turned over to the military
authorities. If the people Of these counties
respectively are not able or willing to en-
force the peace among themselves, and TO
prevent the organizing of companies to make
war upon the United States, the military
force will perform the service, but the ex-
penses must be paid by the county in which
such service is necessary. To secure their
prompt payment a levy of q sufficient
amount of property or money will be at once
made and collected by the officer il COM
mand. Upon the call ofa majority Of the COM
mittee of the public safety in each county,
troops will be sent to keep the peace; but as
such expeditions are for the benefit of the
people concerned, who have in nearly every
case the power to discharge the service them
selves, the troops thus sent will be quartered
upon them and subsisted snd transported by
item in the ma ner above specified, the whole
period it may be necessary for them to remain.
IfiR consequence of disturbance not reported
by the Committee, the General command
ing finds il necessary to send a force into
any county to restore order, they will be in
like manner billeted upon the county,
unless kuG GU4uluhlAOAo ketAA4ob NnO pSt-OO a.
too powerful to be re isted, or. the parties
engaged in it were organized in other coun-
ties, and brought on the disturbances by ac-
tual invasion.
It is not believed that the first case can
arise in any county of North Missouri, and
in the second the forces will be marched into
the county or counties where the marsuding
parties were organized, or from whence they
made the invasion, and will in like manner
be quartered upon them. Where peace and
good order are preserved the troops will
not be required. Where they al disturbed
they will be restored at the expense Of the
county. To preserve the peace is the duty Of
all good citizens, and ss all viii alike suffer
from the breach of it, men Of every shade of
political opinion can act cordially together in
the discharge of duty as full of interest to
one as to another. All persons who have
heretofore been led away to take up arms
against the United States, are notified that
by returning and laying dowu their arms at
the nearest military post, and By performing
their duty hereafter as geacetql, ana lsE1 1 1sbibs
military furces, nor so far as the General
commanding can influence the matter, will
they be subjected to punishment, unless they
have committed murder or some other ag-
grsvsted offense.
