s1R?-I have received through the State
Department, dispatch from the Consul at
Aspinwall, stating that the cattle disease
along the line of the Panama railroad has
made its appearance, and considerable
numbers are dying daily. The writer does
not seem TO regard the disease as the rim
derpest, but I deem it important that great
care should be used in regard to all entries
of hides from the vicinity named You
will admit none without being fully salts
fed they are free from disease.

WAR DEPARTMEET,
WASHINGTON, April g, 1865.
Brevet Maior-General J. NJ. Brannan, Au-
gusta, Georgia.:
The Assistant Commissioner ofthe Bureau
of Refugees, Freedmen, etc, for the State Of
Georgia, having inquired whether the Presi-
dents Proclamation removes martial law in
the State, and whether the department com
mander is authorized to arrest parties who
have committed outrsges on freed people or
Union refugees, the Secretary of War, with
the approval cf the President, desires to in
form you that the Presidents Proclamation
does not remove martial law or operate in
any way upon the Freedmen's Bureau in
the exercise Of its legitimate jurisdiction.
1t is not expedient, however, to resort to
military tribunals in any case where justice
can be attained through the medium of the
civil authorities.
