On the 23i ult an order was issued by Gen.
s1oouM. from Headquarters Department, OF Mis
sissippi, designed 10 overrule the action Of The
Provisional Governor SHARkKY, in recom@end
ing the organization of militia force in that
State As this disting uished General is now the
candidate Of the New York Democracy for the
Office OF Secretary Of State. the document Is Of
special interest. The following Is an abstract:
at has certainly been the desire OF the De
psrtment Commander. and, so far "a be has OBJ
served, Of all officers on duty in the State, TO
execute these orders in a spirit OF Cancellation
and for5earsnce; and. while obeying implicitly
all instructions of the President and the " ar
Department. TO make military rule as htle
odious as possible to the people. hile the
military officers have acted in this spirit, and
have been as successful could have been an
ticipeted the Provisional Governor has thought
proper. without consultation with the Department
Conmander, or with any other officer. in the
United States on duty here. to organize aud arm
force in every county. urging the young men of
the State who have so distinguished themselves
for gallantry,' 20 respond promptly TO bis call {;
meaning thereby that class of men who have a.
vet scarcely laid down the arms with which they
have been opposing our Government. Such force.
if organz Sd as proposed, is 20 be independent of
the military authority now present, and superior
10 force 70 the United States forces now on duty
IN that State. To permit the young men who
have so distinguished themselves to be armed
and organized independent Of the United States
military officers on duty here, and to allow them
10 operate in counties now garr,soned by colored
troops, filled, many of these men are, not only
with prejudice of those troops and against the
execution Of orders relative TO freedmen, but
even against our Government itself, would bring
about a collision &C once, and Increase in q ten
fold degree the dilliculties that now beset the
people
1T is therefore ordered that district com
manders give notice at once TO all persons with
in their respective districts that no military or
carnations. except those under the control OF
the United States authorities, will be permitted
within their respective commands, and that If
any attempt is made TO organize after such
notice. those engaged in it will be arrested
Whenever any outrsges are committed upon
either citizens or soldiers the commander OF the
post nearest the point where the offence Is com
mitted will report the fact TO the district com
mander, who will forthwith send as strong a
force to the locality can be spared The officer
in command of such force will at once disarm
every citizen within ten miles Of the place where
the offence was commtted If any citizen, pos
sesslng information which would lead TO the cap
ture OF tbs outlaws, refuse to impart the same,
he will be arrested aud held for trial The troops
will be qu,rtered on bis premises. and be will be
compelled to provide for the support of the men
and animals These villains eau be arrested uH-
less they receive encouragement from some por
ton of the community in which they operate,
and such communities must be held responsible
for their acts, and must be made to realize the
inevitable consequences of csuntenaneing such
outrages.
