HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF OCCUPATION, I
WESTERN VIRGINIA. Z

CLARKsBURG, Aug. 2O.-The General
commanding the army OF occupation in
Western Virginia, and the department of
the Ohio, invites the aid Of the press, to
prevent the enemy from learning through
it the position, strength, and movements of
the troops under his command. Such in
formation is of the greatest service to the
enemy, and deprives the commander of our
own forces of all the advantages which arise
from the secrecy of concentration and sur
prise. Advantages are constantly enjoyed
by the rebels, whose press never appears to
betray them. (Signed)
