ORDER NO T.
The people of the valley OF The Shenandoah,
and throughout the region OF operations OF this
army, living along the lines of rnilroads and tee.
graphs and along the routes oi travel IN rear OF
The United States forces, are notified that they
will be held responsible for any injury done the
track line or road, or for any attacks upon trains
or struggling soldiers by bands of guerillas in
their neighborhood. No privileges or lmmunllles
of war can apply TO lawless bands of individuals
now forming part of the organized forces of the
enemy not wearing the gnrb OF soldiers, who
seeking and obtaining safety on the pretext OF
being peaceful citizens, steal out in the rear o the
| army attack and murder struggling soldiers,
molest teams OF supplies, destroy railroads, tee
graph lines and bridges. and commit outrages dis.
graceful TO civilized people and revolving to hu
| manity. Evil disposed persons in the rear OF our
armies who do not themselves engage directly in
these lawless acts, encourage them by refusing TO
interfere or give any Information by which such
acts can be prevented, or the perpetrators pun
ished. Safety Of the life and properly of all per-
sons living in the rear of our advancing army
depends upon the maintenance of pence among
themselves and on the unmolesied movements
through their midst of all pertaining to the mill
tary service. They are to understand distinctly
that the security of travel is their only warrant
of personal safety. 1t is therefore ordered that
whenever railroad, wagon road or telegraph
line is injured hv parties OF guerilias the citi-
zcns living within five miles of the spot shall be
turned out en- masse to repair the damage, and
shall besides pay the United States in money or
property, to be collected by military force, the
full amonnt of the pay and subsistence OF the
whole force necessary to coerce the performance
! of the work during the time occupied in compile.
ting it.
i a soldier, or legitimate follower of the army
be fired upon from any house, the house shall be
razed TO the ground, and the inhabitants sent as
prisoners to the headquarters of the army. If
such an outrage ocenr a any place distant from
| settlement the people wi hin five miles around
shall be held accountable, and made to pay an
indemnify sufficient for the case; and any per.
sons detected in such outrages, either during the
act or at any time nfterward shall be shot with
out waiting civil process. No such acts can in.
fluoncc the result of this war, and they can only
lead TO heavy atfliction to the population To no
purpose 1t is there fore en- Joined upon II persons
both for the security oi their property and the
safety of their own persons, that they act vigor.
ously and cordially together TO prevent the per.
petration OF such outrages. Whilst 1t is the wish
OF the General commanding this army, that all
peacefully disposed persons who remain Mt their
homes and pursue their accustomed nvocatlons
shall be subject to no improper burden ol war, ye,
their own safety must of necessity depend upon
tho strict preservation OF peace and order among
themselves, and they are to understand that moth;
| ing will deter him from enforcing promptly and
to the full extent every provision of this ordor.

hours hard labor, and camo up with Morgan

teou of Morgan's men were killed, twelve

some baggage taken, when Morgan made q
bold dash from the foe and started towards
Winchester, closely pursued by Smith. Ne
loss on the part of Smiths forces. They
are after the skoddadors in several Girec
tions. and nothing but the superiority o
MorgaD's stolen blooded horses will save
him. Our city has been as quiet and or
derly as q Sabbath day, under the efficien
administration of the Cincinnati Police,
part of whom have been detained, and ar,
acting for our city's best good. The other
of the force have been acquitting themselve
admirably on tho battle field, under Col
