The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under
authority of the so-called Southern Confed-
eracy, and others without such authority,
being so pernicious TO the welfare of the
community where it is carried on, and il oe-
ing within the power of the community to
suppress this system, it is ordered that wher-
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of
sufficient amount of personal property, from
persons in the immediate neighborhood SYM
pathizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of
tIeo.
Tersons acting as guerrillas without organi-
cation, and without uniform to distinguish
them from private citizens, are not entitled to
the treatment of prisoners of war when
caught, and will not receive such treatment.
