 SIR: am directed by the governor to | inform you that passes issued by w.

He further directs that upon the arrival | of all passenger trains there should be a | sufficient force-not less than 100 meu-- l | the sentinels on the posts should it be nec- | essary.
 This time is designated, as experience | here shows that it is then that crowds col | lect, and with some difficulty the streets | are cleared. It is not the desire that citi- zens, passengers and others should be in- | terfered with in the pursuit of their regu-
 lar business by sentiuels. They are placed in the streets to keep people moving, and l to prevent men from collecting and form ing crowds.
 You will have the necessary orders given to carry out these instructions.
 Of course, the chief of police and all po- licemen in uniform, United States mar shals and deputy marshals, the sheriff and his deputies will also be passed by sentl- nels, night or day, upon showing their authority to act in these capacities.
 The governor further directs that no crowd or assembly of people, be 3, allowed on Col. B. l.. Holt, quartermaster- general, |, | Alabama state troops, is now in the city, and all acquisitions for necessary articles, supplies, etc., needed by your command will be forwarded through him to the gov | ernor.
 This is necessary in order that expsndi- lures may be kept within bounds. You will contract no obligations whatever un- less it first comes through the course above prescribed.
