Orders from General hHaIIcclx,
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF Mol
st. Louis, Feb. %.

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF Mol
st. Louis, Feb. %.
The Major. General commanding tho
department desires to impress upon all
officers the importance of preserving good
order and discipline among their troops
as the armies OF the West advance into
Tennessee and the Southern States. Let
us show to our fellow citizens in these
States tina we come merely to crush out
rebellion and to restore them peace aud
the benefits of the Constitution and the
Union, of which they have been deprived
by their selfish and unprincipled leaders.
They have been told that we come to
oppress and plunder. BY our acts we
will uudeccve them; we will prove to them
that we come to restore, not to violate
the Constitution and laws. in restoring
to them the flag of the Uuion, we will
assure them that they shall enjoy under
its folds the same projections of life and
property as in former days.
Soldiers, let no excess on your part
taruish the glory of our arms. The
orders heretofore issued in this depart
mcnt in regard to pillOging, marauding,
the destruction of private property and
stealing, and the concealmcnt of slaves,
must be strictly enforced. 1t does not
belong to tao military to decide upon the
relation of master and slave. Such ques-
tons must be settled by civil courts.
No fugitive slave will therefore be adj
mittcd within our lines or camps, except
when especially ordered by the General
commanding. Women, children, mer-
chants, farmers, mechanics, and all per-
sons not in arms are to be regarded as
non combatants, and are not to be mo-
lested in their persons or property.
If, however, they aid and assist the
enemy, they become bclgerents, and will
be treated as such. II they violate tho
laws of war, they will be made to suffer
the penalties of such violation. Military
stores and public property of the enemy
must be surrendered, and any attempt to
conceal such property by fraudulen
transfer or otherwise, will be punished
but no private property will be touched
unless by order OF the General command
ing.
Whenever it becomes necessary to lev,
forced contributions for the supply anc
subsistence of our troops, such lcvio
will be made as light as possible, and b
so distributed as to produce no dis
tress among the people. All property St
taken must be recciptcd and fully ac
= counted for as heretofore directed.
; These orders will be read at the hcac
Of every regiment, and all officers ar
commanded to strictly enforce them.
BY command of Maj General Hal
leck.
