Letter Of Direction from Gen. Hancock 70 tf7n
REYNOLDS, COMMANDING THE DISTRICT OF TEXAS


OFFICE OF SECRETARY FOR CIVIL AFFAIRS, I
New Orleans La, Jan. 81, 1868.
Brevet Major Gen. j. J. Reynolds, Commanding DIS
trict OF Texas: ., ...
Gesaera1-I am directed by the Major General CON
handing to acknowledge receipt of your letter OF tho
9th inst together with copies of kilograms and Other
documents, showing that disturbance created a
public meeting in MARSHALL, Texas and the arrest
certain parties by military authority and the release
said parties by writ of babeas corpus lou also ass
for Instructions on the following points When II NIL
ifarv officer makes an arrest Of civilian shall the
latter be delivered up at once, on the application o.
himself or friends; or shall the military officer hold
the civilian in custody until the case shall have been
renorted and acted upon at this superior headquar
ters?"
bv virtue of the third SECTION Of the act Of Congress
Of the ID of March, 1861 it is made the duty OF the
district commanders to punish cause to be punished
all dsturbers Of the public peace and criminals, and'
to this end he may allow local civil tribunals TO take
Jurisdiction Of and try offenders; or when, IN bis ud
ment it nav be necessary for the trial OF Offenders he
shall have power to organise military commissions or
tribunals for that purpose, etc. 1t is obvious that IL
is left optional with the district commander 10 deter
micc before what courts offenders shall be tired N'eh
the accused is turned for trial to civil tribunals
he is subject to their custody and jurisdiction, and ne
must necessarily be turned forthwith TO the pro
per civil officers for that purpose; for IN that class OF
eases the military exercise no control over the
civil authority. IT, the contrary the offender is to
be tried by military commission or tribunal, he Is
held in the custody of the military and the civil courts
are forbidden to interfere under color of State author
ity These classes of cases are entirely distinct
and different rules apply to them. General orders No
40 from these headquarters expressly refer TO this
distinction. In proper the offender may te held
for sufficient length Of time, to enable the command
ing general to determine whether the party ought to
be tried by a military commission. When writ of
habeas corpus issues in submitted to military
Jurisdiction return Of that fact is sufficient and the
civil court is bound at once dismiss the application
When the report of Col. Wood, special Inspector in
reference to this affair is received, further specific or
ders will be given in this case.
1t is the Intention of tie major general commanding
to support the civil authorities where they require as
sstance and to that end lie will discharge all civil oi
GERS who fail to perform their duties.
For further advice, to your proposed action on
this subject, letter to Gov Pease, copies OF which
have been furnished YOU
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ROBERT CHANDLER,
Cartain Assistant Secretary for Civil Affairs.

jS;r-It becomes painful necessity to chronicle
another bloody raid into this couats by the Indians
one of the most daring that has occurred OH this fren
tier On Sunday, the 9th inst, about hundred In
dams struck Clear Creek near its source and it prob
able divided into squads They began to steal horses
and plumber and burn houses. During Sunday and
Monday they killed hr. Long, a young man named
Leatherwood, Ir. Aenasco and it is supposed Mrs.
CurrooB, who is missing. Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick
and his wife Arthur P,rkill, and three of Fi5zpat-
r!ck'5 children were captured; also Miss Carroiton
and Mrs. Edward S3egog, daught Of MF. Ienasco
They searched and plundered three houses on Clear
Creek. they then came down the creek gathering
stock. Near IF. B1vidson's Mr. Edward Shegog and
some sixteen or seventeen fred them i'll the
night, and Miss CarIollton escaped, making her way
along the overland route to Mr. Davidsens next morn
ing in the storm. Tie Indians killed Mrs. Shegogs
aant child soof after capturing her. They came
down to Elm and halted for three hours, about three
hundred yards from Mr.. Sam Dosss and about mile
and half from GAINESVILLE Here Mrs. shegoe escaped
and made her way to Mr. Dosss about daylight. While
eaMped there they sent parties around GAINESVILLE
of which passed through the town after :noonset as
moecasns and other apparel were found III town next
morning ard their loose ponies were seen on the
square early as eleven o'clock at night, buno one
thought Of Indians. A party below town stole Mr.
Giberts horses and shot one in the bed of Elm, near
GAINESVILLE; they also killed three horses Of Mr. St
Clare Jones, on Scots Creek. A party camped and
actually made fire above town within threequarters
Of mile Of the public square, leaving inoccasins, &C.
One Of ponies was at the livery stable
ing. They cut off Mr.. saegoss hair and stripped her
Of clothing. She says while they stopped near town
they were continually driving il horses. These are
hasty facts II the case and fear that the half not
told. | shall send detailed account 10 the Courier
next week.
What shall Of the frontier do II ne are left to
the broken faith Of Indian treaties to shield US from
those numbering theFing fends country ruined
istime were realising the defensive power Of the
military ii its protection Of one Of the most LOYAL dis
tries Of the State It is be hoped that the publica-
ton of authentic statements Of Indian raids on the
frontier will call General Hancocks attention to our
unfortunate situation and give efficient protec-
ton. Yours VT G. WEAVER
