HEADQ'RS DIST OF LYNCHRURG,
LYNCHBURdH, Va, May 2, '67.
SPECIAL ORDERS NO. 8.
Whereas, it is reported to these head
quarters by Brevet Col. George B.-Buell,
10Th Infantry, commanding at Lynch
burg, that Mr.. II. r. Pollard, of Rich
mond, intends to deliver in this city
this evening, for money, lecture
wherein said Pollard proposes to advo-
cate duelling and to proclaim senti-
nents calculated to f0ment a sectional
spirit OF strife and eDmity within the
nation. Such a lecture is considered as
incendiaIy and hurtful to the public
peace. The Brevet Major General COM
to notify his Honor, the Mayor of
Lynchburg, that no such lecture will be
allowed. All classes OF citizens seem
to be engaged in their peaceful avOca-
ions, working to restore prosperity
and to invite emigration and capital,
and cooperating with the registering
offices and United States authorities to
bring back the State to those relations
which have been suspended by the late
rebellion and subsequent events.
His Honor, the Mayor, will therefore
see the obvious necessity which impels
the commanding officer of this district
to forbid the introduction at this time
of elements which disturb the public
mind and injure the people. A free
discussion of political issues is allowa-
BILE, but a lecture setting at defiance
both public morals and the laws of
Virginia and violating the patriotic
sentiment of the cr,untry cannot be re-
garded as right.
By command of
Brevet Mai. Gen. WILCOX.
