Special Field Orders) No. <5. f The General Commanding announces to the troops composing the Military Division of the Mississippi that he has received from the Presi dent of the United States and from Lientenant General Grant, letters conveying the ? r high sense and appreciation of he campaign just closed, re sulting in the capture of Savannah and the de feat of Hood’s army in Tennessee. In order that all may understand the import ance of events, it is proper to revert to the situa tion of affairs in September last. We held At lanta, a city of little value ton® but so impor tant to the enemy that Mr. Davis, the head of the rebellious faction in the South, visited the army near Palmetto, and commanded it to re gain it, as well as to rnin’and destroy us by a series Os measures which he thought would be effectual. That army by a rapid march gained our railroad at Big Shanty, and afterwards about Dalton. We pursued it. but it moved so rapidly that we could not overtake it, and General Hood led his army successfully far over towards Mis sissippi, in hopes to decoy ns out of Georgia.— But we were not thus to be led sway by him, and preferred to lead and control events our selves. Generals Thomas and Schofield, com manding Departments in our rear, returned to their posts and prepared to decoy General Hood into their meshes, whilst we came on to com- plete the original journey. We quietly and de liberately destroyed Atlanta and all the railroads which the enemy had used to carry on war against us. occupied his State Capital, and then captured his commercial capital, which had been so strongly fortified from the sea as to defy ap proach from that quarter, Almost at the moment of our victorious entry into Savannah, came the welcome and expected news that our comrades in Tennessee had also fulfilled nobly and well their part, had decoyed General Hood to Nashville, and then turned on him, defeating his army thoroughly, capturing nearly all his artillery, great numbers of prison ers, and were still pursuing the fragments down into Alabama. So complete a success in milita ry operations, extending over half a continentris an achievement that entitles it to a place in tile military history of the world. The armies serv ing in Georgia and Tennessee, as well as the lo cal garrisons of Decatur, Bridgeport, Chattanoo ga, and Murfreesboro, are alike entitled to the common honors, and each regiment may in scribe on its colors at pleasure the words “Sa vannah’ ’ or “Nashville.* The General-in Chief embraces m the same general success the operations of the cavalry column under Generals Stoneman and Burbndge, and Gillem, that penetrates into South-west Vir ginia and paraiized the efforts of the enemy to disturb the peace and safety of East Tennessee. Instead of being put on the defensive, we have at all points assumed the bold offensive, and completely thwarted the designs oi the enemies of our country. By order of Major General W. T. SHERMAN. L. M. Dayton, Major and Assistant Adjutant General. V„. TV-. <>'/ nnt MiHSisoim. Field. Savannah, (*«., Jan. 1\ 1>J65 % Field Obdki:k,> ■r No. 13. / Df*n»r!mcnt of the South hiring bee® r.aced within the sphere of this command, and u being highly desirably that au uniform policy prevail touching commerce and intercourse with the inhabitants of the South, the following gen eral rules and principles will be adhered to un less modified by law or the orders of the War Department: I. Commerce with foreign nations cannot be permitted or undertaken until the national au thority is established to an extent that will give the necessary courts and officers to control and manage such matters. Trade will be confined to a mere barter and sale proportioned to the Mo netary wants of the army, and of the inhabi tants dependant on it for the necessities of life, and even that trade must be kept subject to strict military pentrol or surveillance. IL Trade stores will be permitted at Beaufort, Ililton Head. Savannah, Femandina, St. Augns tine and Jacksonville, in all the article* of food and clothing, groceries, ladies and rhildm good* generally, and articles not contraband of war. 111. To trade is a privilege, and no person will be allowed to buy and sell for profit unless he be a citizen of the United States, end sub scribe to any legal oath or obligation that is or may be prescribed by law? and at points threat ened by an enemy, the officer commanding may further exact as a condition, that the trader shall himself engage to serve. In some military ca paeity, to aid in the defence of the place. IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to the commanding officer of the Post and obtain his written consent, specifying the kind, nature and extent of the trade, and when he require* importation* from northern cities ho will in like manner apply for his eiatMrr. The commanding officer of the Post may appoint some good officer to supervise these matters, who will frequently inspect the stores, and when there is not suffi cient competition will fix the prices of sale.— These stores will in like manner be subject to the supervision of the Commanding General of the Department of the South by lumselt or an inspector General V. In order that purchases may be made with economy, the commanding officer of each Post will make reports of his action in regard to trade, with the names of traders, nniountaof goods desired for sale, &c., to the commanding general of the department, who wHI, in like manner, make full reports to the Secretary 'rf the United States Treasury, to the end that be may instruct the collectors of ports from which shipments are expected as to the necessary per mits and clearances. It being utterly Impracti cable tba a general commanding military oper ations eh'uld give his personal attention to su ? ii matters, it i* desirable that as much power m y possible should be delegated to Post command ers, and they should be held to the strictest ac count that no trade Is permitted tujnrions to the military interests of the United States. VI. Salos of cotton will be restricted absolutely to the United States Treasury agents, and no title in cotton or bill of sale will be respected until after the cotton is sold at New York - Conntry people having small lots of cotton are permitted to bring the same in to be exchanged ror food and clothing for their families. Ihe Quartermaster will set aside a store or ware house, to which each wagon bearing cotton will, after entering the military lines, proceed direct, w here an of the Treasury Department vvilf receive and weigh the same, and pay for it tho price fixed iu the Bth section of the Act of < on gress, approved July 2, 1804. vir.: three-fourth* the value of cottou as qnoted in the New 3 one market; and the Secretary of the Treasury i* hereby requested to make appointments of agents to carry out the provisions of said act at the posts of Ililton Head, Savannah, Fernandi na and Jacksonville. VTI. In order that the duties hereby imposed on commanding officers of Posts may not be neglected or slighted by the changes incident u> rank and chauges of troops, the Commanding General of the Department of the South will ap point a special officer to command at each or said Posts, with a small garrison, not to bo changed without his order; and when other troops, commanded by a senior, are added or ar rive, the command of the po*t will not change, but the additional troops wiH lie encamped near by and act according to special instructions.
