Gen. Dana's Order Oh the Amnesty

General DANA, for the PRONUNCIATION of
the Presidents Amnesty Proclamation:
HEADQUARTERS U. s. FORCES, TExAs,l
Pass CAvALLO, January 80, 1864. :
GENERAL ORDERS, IA.
1t is known to the world that on the 9Th
day of December, ultimo, the President of
the United States published a proclamation
which touched the heart and inspired the
tongue OF every lover of liberty on the civil
lied earth. Its burden is PARDON and LIB
ERTY-"T Thy sins be forgiven thee" Let
the oppressed 60 free"
Such paternal care Of a people has not been
exhibited since the patriarchal days of old. Not
since the Saviour of men cried to the multi
tude, "Come unto me all We that are heavy
laden and will give you rest"
In order that the deluded and oppressed
people of this State may be enlightened and
informed on the subject, and may rejoice in
the dawning of day from behind the black
night which has surrounded them with dark
ness which might be felt and enabled the evil
spirits to work upon themgit is directed that
a sufficient number of copies of the Presidents
Proclamation be printed, at these headquarters
to supply whatever demand there may be for
the same, coming from each and every COM
pany in the command and all officers and men
are desired to use every opportunity which
properly presents itself to distribute them in
the interior of the State.
1t is further ordered that all persons, now or
hereafter within the lines, who have ever
claimed to be citizens of the United states, or
the so-called Confederate States, or who have
aided or comforted the rebels in their hostility
against the United States, and who have not,
since the commencement of the rebellion,
taken an oath renewing their allegiance to the
United States, may have the opportunity of
enjoying the full benefits of the said prOcla-
nation, by voluntarily taking the oath therein
contained
The Provost Marshal is required to take a
census of the population now within the lines,
that such persons as may not wish to enjoy
| the benefits Ofthe proclamation, may be known,
and be assigned a convenient place of residence
where they will not have opportunity to do in
jury to the cause for which We fight He will
proceed, in the most thorough manner possible,
| and will give public nosice of his orders and
regulations to cOhsummatc the end in view.
| and will report on the 10th day of February,
prOximO, the list of those persons who refuse
the benefits of the proclamation.
