NAVAL DEPOT.

present an unfruitful effort, has been
made by the citizens of the Saginaw
Valley counties to call attention to the
advantages offered for the location of the
proposed Naval Depot for the Western
Lakes at some point upon the Saginaw
River. injecting for this purpose was
held ia this city on the 10th inst, Mayor
Morr presiding, by which series Of res
olutions, clearly and forcibly setting
forth these advantages, were adopted,
and other measures taken to advance the
object proposed. Since then the Legisl
lature has recommended Grand Haven
mainly on account of its being the term
mus of the Detroit & Milwaukee Rail-
way--as the most feasible point for. the
location of the aforesaid Naval Depot
1t is incumbent now upon the people OF
the Valley TO see 70 it that their claims,
though partially ignored by the hasty
and inconsiderate Legislation at Lansing,
are brought fully and forcibly before the
authorities at Washington, in whose
hands final action upon the subject must
rest, and if defeated there, even, in this
particular, the advantage to be gained
otherwise, by bringing the extraordinary
resources Of the Valley thus prominently
into notice, will be something Of rec
ompense for the time, labor and money
expended. We copy asportiOn of the

HEADQUARTERS, District OF Cairo
.r.I .I..Lt ga .iGCAtRo, January l3.
During the absence of the expedition,
now startlrg upon soil occupied almost
solely by therebel army, and when it is
fair inference that every stranger met
is an enemy, the following orders will be
observed: Troops on marching will be
kept i'll the ranks; company officers be-
ing held strictly accountable for all
stragglers from their companies. No
firing will be allowed 10 camp or on the
march, not strictly required in the per.
Torrance Of duty. Whilst in camp, no
privilege will be granted to officers or
soldiers to leave their regimental
grounds, and all violations of this order
must be promptly and summary pun
ished. Disgrace having been brought
upon our brave fellows blythe bad con.
duct of some of their members, show
ing on all occasions, when marching
through territory occupied by syrnpa-
thizers of the enemy, total disregard
of tho rights of citizens, and being
guilty of wanton dostructian Of private
property, the General commanding do
sires and intends to enforce change in
this respect. The Interpreting Of con
fscation acts by troops themselves, has
a demorallzing effect--weakens them
10 exact proportions to the demoraliza
ton, and makes open and armed enemies
Of many who, from opposite treatment
would become friends, oraat most non
con,batants. 1t is ordered, therefore
that the severest punishment be inflicted
upon every soldier who is guilty o
taking or destroying private property
and any commissioned officer guilty o.
like conduct, err of countehanoing il
shall DO deprived of his sword aud ex
PEELED from the camp, not to be per
nittcd to return. On the march, cav
airy advance guards viii he thrown gu.
also flank guards of cavalry or infantry
when practicable. A rear guard of in
fantry will be required to see that n,
teams, baggage or disabled soldiers ar,
left behind. IL will be" the duty %
