From our Evening Edition Of Ye,terdayi
Federal IiIiiaFy Regulations at Nashville
In the Times, OF the 7th we find the follow
ing military orders issued by the Federal com
manding officer, and the provost marshal:
HEADQuARrERs DEPARTMENT OF TIE ONO
NASHVILLE, Feb &c. Is62. 5
The general commanding cOngratulates his
troops that it has been their privilege to restore
the national banner to the capital Of Tennessee
He believes that thousands of hearts in every
part of the State, will swell with JOY to see that
hOnOred flag reinstated in a position from which
it was removed in the excitement and folly Of an
evil hour that the voice Of her own people will
soon proclaim its welcome and that their man
hood and patriotism will protect and perpetu-
ate it.
The General does not deem it necessary,
I though the occasion is a fit one, to remind his
troops OF the rule of conduct they have hitherto
observed and are still to pursue We are in
arms not for the purpose Of invading the rights
Of our tellOw-c0untrymen anywhere, but to
maintsiu the integrity Of the Union, and protect
the constitution under which its people have
been prosperous and happy. We cannot there
fore, lock with indifference on any conduct
which is designed to give aid and comfort to
those who are endesyoring to defeat these
objects but the action to be taken in such cases
rests with certain authorized persons, and IS not
to be assumed by individual officers or soldiers.
Peaceable citizens are not to be molested in their
persons or property. Any wrongs to either are to
be promptly corrected and the offenders brought
to punishment
To this end all persons are desired to make
complaint to the Immediate commander of Of
heefs and soldiers offending, and if Justice be
not done promptly, then to the next commander,
and so on until the wrong is redTessed If the
necessities OF the public service should require
the use Of private property for public purposes
fair compensation is to be allowed No such ao-
preparation of private property is TO be made
except by the authority Of the highest command
er present, and any other officer or soldier who
shall presume to exercise such privilege shall be
brought to trial Soldiers are forbidden to enter
the residences or grounds Of citizens on any plea
without authority
No arrests are to be made without the author
tty of the commanding general, except in case
OF actual otteuse against the authority Of the
government and in all such cases the fact and
circumstances will Immediately be reported in
writing to headquarters through the intermediate
commanders
The general reminds bis officers that the most
trequ Mt depredations are those which are COM
mitted by worthless characters who straggle from
the ranks on the plea of being unable to march :;

found in most instances that the soldier has over
loaded himself with useless and Unauthorized ar
ricles. The orders already published on this sub
ect must be enforced.
The condition and behavior Of a corps are sure
Indications Of the efficiently and fitness of its of

gard that propriety OF conduct which belongs to
soldiers as we'll as citizens, they mast not kpect
to occupy the posts Of honor, but may rest as
sured that they win be p&Aced in positions where
they cannot bring shame on their comrades and
the cause they are engaged in. The government
supplies with Gbershty all the wants of the sol
der. The occasional depIivations aud hardships
incident to rapid marches must be borne with
patience and fOTtitude. Any officer who neglects
to provide properly for Ids troops, or separates
himself from them to seek his own comfort, viii
be held to q rigid accountability.
