GENERAL ORDER NO 6

GENERAL ORDER NO O..
/ In the face Of appeals TO the PEG
pie, to give up the illegal practice o.
wearing cJneealcd weapons, and TO aban
don secret aud armed associations, tn,
practice continues. The inevitable re.
suit has been the loss OF valuable lives
1t is the clear duty Of every goo citizen
of whatever party, to maintain order, and
stop these things at once. Ii is MS clear
7 ly the duty of the prcss, 10 concur in such
action. There can b. no half and hall
| policy. No party can gain character by
the recognition oil such societies. They
aspire to local power. independent of both
Stale and General Government. They
can imperil. but cannot impair the rights
of any.
III. Aayked among such associations
are the Knights of the Golden Circle
Their osths are disloyal Let all calm
aud reasonable citizens who have entered
their lodges renounce them. They have
met with arms in their hands. They
have guarded the approach to those meet
ipgs with armed sentinels. They have
used their influence to protect dcserters.
They have passed resolutions to defy the

and continue their secret drill are de
nounced as public enemies, to be dealt
with as such
III. The habit Of attending public
meetings armed, is another evil too com
mon, aud portentious of mischief. Let
every citizen 90 with the right temper to
his political meeting, nor fear that any
will interfere with his rights. nor doubt
that he will be protected in their enjoy
ment. But it should never be forgotten,
that, in times of public peril, it becomes
the absorbing interest of every citizen, to
subordinate everything to the general
good, aud direct all party issues so that
the preservation of the government 10 its
integrity aud entirety shall be unqual-
fed and sure
Nv. In this connection let il not be
forgotten that violent partizan harangues
do no good, bat embitter all other issues.
E,nble,hs that, in other times, might be
adopted at pleasure, only incite anmositv
when they are borrowed from such as are
recognized by rebels, and had their orr
gin with the first prisoners brought 20
the North. They. from their dress, were
denominatcd "buttcrnuts They early
adopted the copperhead upon their ban
ners, and it is still maintained upon the
flags of several rebel States.
tits very slight sacrifice to forbear
their use as party emblem, when it is
undeniable that their early association
with the rebel cause has given them
character which complexities party rela-
ton, and creates constant conflict and
alarm in more than half the counties of
this State. Their use gives no prestige
to the party with which their wearers as.

misses 1t with the people.

acting History.

We commend to those who are piling
up ipfamy for themselves and as an in.
heriance for their posterity, the following
forcible sentence with which General
Butler concluded his recent speech in
New York:
] desire to say here that it is the duty
of every man to be loyal to the Govern
ment, 20 sustain it, 10 pardon its errors
and help il 10 rectify them, and to do all
be can to aid it IN carrying the country
on in the course OF glory and grandeur In
which il was started by our fat theirs. And
let me say to you, my friends-to you,
Young men, that no man who opposed his
country in time of war ever prospered.-
T"Thats 80" The Tory of the Revo-
luton, the Hartford Conventionist OF
1919, the immortal seven who voted
against the supplies for the Mexican war
all history is against these men. Let
no politician Of our DAY put himself in the
way of the march of this country to glory
and greatness, for whoever does 30 will
surely be crushed. The course of our
nation is onward, and lot him who oppo-
SEES it beware.
The mover moves on shous The adder may wrishe.
And tie ooppeThesd curl round the blade ofthe syhe
The full force of this denunciation can
only be appreciated by those who have
heard from the lips of patriotic ancestors
of the otloquy which attached to the to.
ries long after the close of the Revolution
But more than that. it was transmitted TO
his children and his chidren's children.
Even to this day, the American whose
ancestor at that time was known as tory,
hears of it with burning shame. But the
Revolutionary tory at least had the apol-
ogy of retaining his original loyalty. The
copperhead tire present dry proves
false to all loyalty, and is recreaat in =
sense which the tory was no,. lie i.
true to nothing-sympathises with moth.
ING bat Die vilest conspiracy to perpetu
ate human bondage which the world ever
saw. Mr.. Brady, in one Of his recent
speeches, rcmarking upon this point,
said:
When this tremendous scene shall have
passed-and 1t cannot last long at longest
--epery actor a. Il will receive honor oil

Is an actor in it. He cant escape 1t Il
he would, for neutrality is in itself de.se
tion and disloyslty. 1t will be know Q
and remembered how every man bore
himself ia this crisis of the natiou,s life

the page of history, but il will be written
on tablet Yet more distinct. the living
memory. Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty years
hence it will be inquired about, and i,
will be known how every living American

his purpose to regard the rights of all,
while holding absolutely and unqualified
ly 10 the maintenance Of our common
country? To men who plot our over
throw, there is but one issue. With this,
neither of the leading political parties
are charged. OF this the Knights of the
Golden circle, in their leaders, are guilty.
This appeal. preceded by repeated notice
of their existence and aims, and while
denoupoing them, is coupled with the
earnest hope that all good men will unite
in the objects expressed, to adhere to the
habits of peace, and forbear the use of
words or emblems that embitter parties
and compromise. or outrage the loyal sen
liments of any.

throat of the new State from ear to ear is
due only to the uutiring e1ertions of those
who went at once to Washington from this

whitening contempt of his fellow Senators.

l.. a miseoneeptiOu With regard TO the
true meaning OF the term 'De5eyf," seems
10 exist In the minds of many of the officers
aud enlisted men of this command TIE
desert means to quit or abandon the post or
command Of the individual, and there is no
authority requiring the anirauy with which
the party left to be established, nor does
the tact that he may afterward voluntarily
return, aequit him of the crime. The high
est military authority declares that officers
and enlisted men absent from their COM
mand without proper authority, are in fact
dsSeTfeT1, and not only forfeit all pay and
allowances due at The time of deserttou,
but are subject to the severe penalties
awarded by law TO that crime
II. When man leaves this command
without proper authority, and remains alb
sent more than one day, his company COM
mander will report him AS "dCserted," on
his next morning report, and will prefer
written charges against him. to be forwar-
ded through regimeutal to brigade Head
quarters. aud If the man afterWard return.
he will be reported rs having mioined from
desertion and awaiting trial, y and these re-
marks, with tho proper dates annexed
thereto, will be placed opposite his name
on the next subsequent muster.roll of his
company, Unless he shall in the meantime
have been tried aud acquitted. or restored
to duty without trial by the General com
petent to order the same. Company and
regimenEF b.ommanders have no authority
to dispOsSH6f such cases.
III. A vigorous policy will hereafter be
pursued against deserters in this command
All deserters up 10 this date, who have not
returned or been arrested, are hereby com.
nanded to join their regiments aud cumpa-
mics without delay, at the risk Of being
brought back 10 irons, tried by "a military

dourninE over their Lost Hopes.

The Prsss of Saturday very lugubriously
gives up all hope of defeating the new
States. The editor remarks that he-did
not consider ",he policy of opposing the
new state-how hateful soever the Wiley
adjuuct-at all wise oue."
This is a dOleful surrender, sure enough,
to make at this late day, after having e1-
hAuStsd every trick and every misrepre-
sentatiOn to procure an adverse result to
the new State in this COUNTY. And i.
comes, too, with such a good grace from
one Who, only n few weeks ago, threw up
his cap and cried, 'Hurrah for the new
State" 1t eviuces just about the same
amount OF sincerity that has and does now
characterize the whole gang of Carlile,
Font Smith & Co.
Asto the editors hypOcritioal cant about
the Wiley adjunct, we have no other an
swer to make than the Carlile bill pub.
