When, at the discretion of the com handing general, it becomes necessary 10 enforce this order, it will be done abstainng from any further control over persons property in chose regions than is necessary for defensive operations and military discipline. Any authority that may thus be exercised, will be lawful one. The ob- jects in view are such as will commend it to all good and patriotic citizens, and their cordial CO., operation and support in all efforts to maintain or der, protect persons and property against vio- lence, secure the arrest of wrong doers, and to promote discipline and efficiency in the army, is confidently expected. He earnestly hopes it may not become necessary for him to resort to the exer else of any power which would appear to be an in- terterence of military with civil authority.
