been called to the obligation Of proper obser-
vance Of the Sabbath, but the sense OF It's
Importance not only as a moral and religious
dnty, but as contributing to the personal health

manding General to repeat the orders on that
subject. He has learned with great pleasure
that in many brigades convenient houses OF
worship have been erected, and earnestly de-
sires that every facility consistent with the
requirements of discipline shall be afforded the
men TO assemble themselves together tor the
purpose of devotion.
IT, To this end he directs that none but du-
ties strictly necessary shall be required to be
performed on Sunday a,d that the labor, Doth
Of men and animals, which it is practicable to
anticipate or postpone, or the immediate per-
formanle Ct. which is not essential to the safe
ty, health, or comfort Of the army, shall be
suspended on that day.
III. Commanding officers will require the
usual in speclions on Sunday to be be at such
time as not to interfere with the attendance OF
the men on divine service, at the customary
hour in the morning.
They will also give their attention to main
tenance Of order and quiet around the place
OF worship, and prohibit anything that may
tend to disturb or interrupt religious exercises

Hon. j. G. Knapp, Judge &C., Messllla,
N, NJ:
SIR: Your letter Of the 4th August, com
planning of military arrests, was slow II reach
ing ME, and then such was the urgent and con
tinued occupation Of the President IN the
great affairs Of the government, that L have
net been able till now to fix his attention upon
the particular outrage upon geu, as yoor 1efsez
makes me believe it to be.
There seems to be general and growing
disposition Of the military, wherever stationed,
to engross all power, and to treat the civil gov
ernment with contumacy, as it the object were
to bring it into contempt -,
[ have delivered my opinion verv plainly, TO
the President, and | have reason to hope that
he, in the main, concurs with me in believing
that those arbitrary proceedings ought to be
suppressed.
He has issued an order to have Captain
