old regiments being filled up by conscripts.
From the official list furnishd the War Depart

was 1882. They were paroled. There was not
one in the whole number but what seemed anx-

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc.l
Camp near Sharpsburg, Md, October Z.
The attention of the officers and soldiers OF the
Army OF the Potomac is called to General Order
No. 1879, War Department, September 2Sth, 1862,
publishing to the army the Presidents proclama
ton of September 22d. A proclamation of such
grave moment to the nation, officially communi-
Gated to the army, affords the General command
ing an opportunity of defining specifically to the
officers and soldiers under his command the rela-
ton borne by all persons in the military service
of the United States towards the civil authorities
of the Government. The Constitution confdes
to the civil authorities, legislative. judicial and
executive, the power and duty of making. ex
pounding and executing tie Federal laws. Armed
forces are raised and supported simply to sustain
the civil authorities and are TO be held IN strict
sCbordination thereto in all respects.
This fundamental rule of our political system
is essential TO the security of our republican in
situations, and should be thoroughly understood
and observed by every soldier.
The principle upon which, and the objects for
which 1t shall be employe ed in suppressiug the
belion, must be determined and declared by the
civil authorities. and the Chief Executive, who
is charged with the administration of national ai-
fairs. is the proper and only source through which
the views and orders OF the Government can be
made known to the armies of the nation.
OisCu>>iOu w OllCtIc anu SOlultlc GUuCtTUlIS
public measures, determined upon and declared
by the Government, when carried at all beyond
the ordinary temperate and respectful expression
of opinion. tend greatly to impair and destroy
the discipline and efficiency of the troops by sub
shutting the spirit OF political faction for that
firm, steady and earnest support of the authority
of this Government, which is the highest duty of
the American soldier.
The remedy for political errors. il any COM
mitted, is TO be found only il the action of the
people at the polls. In thus calling the attention
of this army to the true relation between the sol
diers and the Government, the General command
ing adverts TO an evil against which it has been
thought advisable, during our whole history TO
guard the armies of the republic, and in SO doing
he will not be discouraged by any right minded
person as casting any reflection upon that loyalty
and good conduct which has been so fully illus
trated upon so many battlehelds.
In carrying out all measures of public policy
this army will OF course be guided by the same
rules of mercy and Christianity that has ever
controlled its conduct toward the de enseless.
By command of Major General Mcclellan.
