sPECIAL ORDER-NO. $50.


AS matter of special interest and general
information, we lay before our readers the fol-
lowing important order;
HEADQUARTERS, FIFTH DIVISION,
MEMPHIS, Aug. IA, 1862.
Major Fisher, 54th Ohio Volunteers, and
Captain Littlefeld. Provost Marshal of Gen.
Hurlburt's division, are announced as Assist
ant Provost Marshals of Memphis, and will
report to Col Anthony. More attention will
be given to the quiet and good order ofsoldiers
ON the streets. The Assistant Provost Mar
shals, and the patrols and guards sent out by
them, have the power and right to suppress all
riots and nusances. Amy house, where noise,
drunkenness and fighting are either going on,
or likely to occur, is military nuisance, and
will be suppressed by the seizure of its con-
tents, and the delivery of the liquors to the
Hospital Department. If the nuisance cannot
thus be suppressed, the house will be burned
or pulled down, according to its position. Amy
Brigade Provost Marshal may suppress q
nuisance in the vicinity of his brigade; but no
house will be pulled nown or burned, without
the written order of the commanding General,
the Provost Marshal, or the commander of a
brigade. Riots on the streets will be promptly
suppressed by blows, the bayonet, or firing
when necessary. OF course, the military are
not bound by the licenses issued by the city
authorities; as licenses are designed for rev.
enpe and not to sanction or encourage crimes
and nuisances.
