ST. LOUIS Aug 40 1861


ST. Louis, Aug. 80, 1861.
The Commanding General sincerely
regrets that he finds it necessary to make
reproach to the patriotic army under his
command. He had hoped that the right
enforcement Of discipline and the good ex-
ample of the mass of the enlightened sol
diery which he has had the honor to lead,
would have been sufficient to correct in
good time the irregularities and license of
the few who have reflected discre,lit upon
our cause and ourselves. But the extern
sion Of Martial Law to all the State of
Missouri, rendered suddenly necessary by
its unhappy CO i,lition. renders it equally
imperative to call the army to good order
and vigorous discipline. They are re-
minded that the power to infict the extra
ordinary seventies of the now governing
law is rigidly confined to lew. who are
to be held strictly accountable for its exer-
else. They are also reminded that the
same necessity which requires the estab-
lishment Of Martial Law, demands also the
forcement Of the military laws. which gov
e-n themselves with the same sudden se-
verify. The Commanding General there
fore strictly prohibits all vexatious pro-
ceedings calculated unnecessarily to har.
rass the citizens, and also unauthorized
searches. seizures aBd destruction of prop
erty. except in cases Of military necessity.
AMI for which the officer authorized OF
