have been reported and received officially
are approved, except so tar as they name
| Col. Brooke to command the city of New

ginning Of the present lnsurrcctlonary
movement. must be recognized as the
lawful State government until some other
State government can be legally supplied.
| Upon the surrender of the Insurgents
YOU will inform Governor Kellogg of the
fact and rive him the necessary support
to re-establish the authority of the State
! government. If at the end Of five days
given in the proclamation of the 18th
inst, there still exists an armed resist
ance to the authorities IF the State, you
will summon surrender of the lnsur-
gents. If the surrender is not quietly
submitted to, it must be enforced ut all
hazards, this being nm inSurrccton
against the State government of LoulSl-
ana to aid, in the suppression of which
this government has been called uptn,
in forms required by the Constitution
and laws Of Congress; and,
it is not the province of the United States
authorities to make terms with par
ties engaged in such instructions.
