WHEREAS. much painful anxiety and appre-
hension exists in the public mind, resulting
from the passage Of the Military Bill" by Con-
gre>s, and the General Order of General Ord
in assuming command of the Military Dis
trict Of Mississippi and Arkansas" and
whereas, in some instances, the regular admin
iStratiOn Of the State Government has been un-
settled to such an extent as to cause some of
the officers of the State to suspend the functions
of their Offices and many citizens are hes
itating. while others refuse, to pay their taxes
upon the assumed ground that the Tax Col
leetOrs are not competent officers" and there
fore are not authorized to receipt for the same;
and as other evils and irregularities may arise
from the uncertainty that exists rs to the du-
ties and responsibilities of officers and citizens
Of the state IN their present situation-there-
fore, deem II proper to make known that the
Act of CongscSS commonly called the MILITARY

the paramount authority of the United States

made in accordance with the provisions of
this law. hereby give NOTICE 70 the Civil
Officers of the State that their relations and

the people, remain unchanged. and they will
be held to a strict Accountability for the per-
fOrmance of their duties. in carrying out the
provisions of the laws. for the maintenance of
the civil Government. and for the full and am
pie protection of all classes of inhabitants of
the State, both white and black in all of their
rights of person, property. liberty and religion.
And l further sdyiSe and admOniSh all good
citizens and inhabitants TO sustain the civil
officers in maintaining the peace. order and Sc
curity of Society-t0 deal justly and indul I
gently with each other, and in their political
helplessness, to devote themselves to pursuits ]
of industry, and TO the production of those
neceSsaries of life for which they are now 50
dependent upon the markets of other States |
and 10 offer no resistance to any steps that NAV
be taken in the reconstruction of the State by I
the Military authority of the United States. /

Courts, under the Constitution of the JinIte.i
