Department, Sept. Path, 1862, publishing to the
army the Presidents q proclamation Of Sept. 22d.
proclamation Of such grave moment to the
nation, and officially communicated TO the army,
affords to the general commanding an oppor.
tunity Of defining specifically TO the officers and
soldiers under his command the relation borne
BY all persons In the military service Of the
United States towards the civil authorities Of
the Government
The Constitution confides to the civil author.
ities, Legislative, judicial and executive, the
power and duty OF making, eIpounding and
executing the Federal laws. Armed forces are
raised and supported simply to sustain the civil
authortiee, and are to bs held In striot subor-
dnation thereto In all respects. THIS fundamen.
tai law Of cur political system Is essential to
the security Of our republican institutions, and
should be thoroughly understood and observed
by every soldier. The principle upon which
and the objects for which armies shall be EN-.
ployed 10 suppressing rebellion must be deter

chief Executive, who is charged with the ad
ministration OF the national affairs 10 the proper
aud only source through which the views and

Discussion by officers and soldiers concerning
public measures determined upon and declared
by the Government, when carried beyond the

Of opinion, tend greatly to impair and destroy
the discipline and efficiency Of the troops by
substituting the spirit Of political faction for
thpfrm, steady, and earnest support of the
authority of the Government, which 10 the high.
est duty of the American soldier. The remedy
for political errors, II sny are committed, is to
be found only iu the action of the people at the
polls.
10 thus calling the attention Of this army to
the true relation between the soldiers aud the
Government, the General Commanding merely
adverts TO an evil against which 1t has been
thought advisable during our whole history to
guard the armies of the Republic, and in doing
IN be will not bo considered by any right minded
person as casting any reflection upon that 10y
atty and good conduct which has been so fully
illustrated upou so many battle-aslds.
