No. 6. k .
The General Comm inffinz announces to the |
troops composing the Military Division of the j
Mississippi that he has received from the Pros’- >
of the United States and from Lieutenant ;
(Mjieral Grant, letters conveying their high sense i
jJoR appreciation of he campaign just closed, re- j
gnsjnr in the capture of Savannah and the de- ;
featof Hood’s army in Tennessee.
In order thac all may understand the import
ance of events, it Is proper to revert to the situa- j
iion of affairs in September last. We held At-’
iiuHa» a city of little value to us, but so impor- j
taiit to the enemy that Mr. Davis, the head ofj
the rebellions faction in the South, visited the i
army near Palmetto, and commanded it to re
gain it, as well as to ruin’and destroy us by a
aeries of measures which he thought would be
effectual. That army by a rapid march gauicd
our railroad at Big Sh inty, 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 us out of Georgia.—
But we were not thins to be led »wav by him,
and preferred to lead and control events our
selves. Generals Thomas and Schofield, com
manding Departments in our rear, returned to
their poets and prepared to decoy General Hood [
into their meshes, whilst we came ou to com- !
nlete the original journey. We quietly and de- !
liberate!}’ destroyed Atlanta and all the railroads !
which the e'nemv hail used to carry on war
against ns, occupied his State Capital, and then
captured his commercial capital, which had been ;
eo 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 an l expected
news that our comrades in Tennessee had also
fulfilled nobly and well their part had decoyed
General Hood to Nashville, and then turned ou
him, defeating his army thoroughly, capturing
nearly all his artillery, great numbers of
ers, and were still pursuing the fragments dmvu
into Alabama. So complete a success in milita
ry operations, extending over half a continent,is
aa achievement that entitles it to a place in the
mllitarv history of the world The armies serv
ing in Georgia and Tennessee, as well as the lo- 1
cal garrisons of Decatur, Bridgeport. Chattanoo
ga, and Murfreesboro, are alike entitled to the
common honors, sad each regiment mar 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 Stoneraan and Burbridge,
and Gillem. that peuetrates into Smith-west Vir
ginia and parailz’ed the efforts of the enemy to
disturb the peace and safety of East Tennessee.
Instead of being pat on the defensive, we have
at all points assumed the bold offensive, and
completely thwarted the designs of the enemies

Major General W. T. SHERMAN.

No. 13. i
. The Department of the South having been
.placed within the sphere of this command, and
it being highly desirable that an uniform poliev
prevail touching commerce and intercourse with
the inhabitants of .the Soufh, the following gen
eral rules and principles will be adhered to un
less modified by law or the orders of the War
Department:
T. Commerce with foreign nations cannot be
•permitted or uudc.takeu umd the national au
thority is cstabl:slieu to an extent that wi il give
the necessity courts an 1 officers to control and
manage such nutters. Trade will b<- confined to
a more barter avid sole proportioned to the ne
nessary wants of the army. and of the inhabi
tants depeudan* on it for the necessities of life,
and even that trade rnnst be kept subic- t to strict
military control or surveillance.
11. Trade scores will be permitted at Beaufort.
Hilton Head. Savannah, Fernanda)-i. St. Augus
tine and Jacksonville, ip all the articles of food
and clothing, groceries, ladies and cliilden "oods
-generally, and articles not contraband of war.
/H; To trade is a privilege, and no person
will be allowed to buy and >ell for nrofft unless
he be a citizen of the United States, ami sub
•ftcnbe to any legal o»tth or obligation that is or
may be prescribed by law: ana at points threat
ened bv an enemy, the officer commanding may
farther exact as a condition, that the trader snail
kinase!! engage to serve, in some niUitarv ca
pacity, to aid in the defence of the place.
TV. Persons desiring to trade will apply lo
the commanding officer of the Post and obtain
his written consent, specifying the kind, nature
nun extent oi the trade, and when he requires
importation** front northern cities he will in like
manner apply for his ueu.mit. The commanding
■officer ot 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 w ill in ijke manner be subject to
the supervision of the Commanding General of
"the Department of the South by himself or an
Inspector General.
V. In order that purchases maybe made with
economy, the commanding officer of each Post
will make reports of his action in regard to
trade, with the names of traders, amounts of
goods desired for sale, Ac., to the commanding
general of the department, who will, in like
manner, make full reports to the Secretary of
thedluited States Treasury, to the end that he
may instruct the collectors of ports from which
shipments are expected as to the necessary per
mits and clearances. It being utterly impracti
cable that a general commanding military oper
ations should give his personal attention to such
matters, it is desirable that as much power as
possible should be delegated to Post command
ers, and they should be held to the strictest ac
count that no trade is permitted injurious to the
military interests .of the United ‘States.
VI. Sales of c >tWu will restricted absolutely
to the UP*ted States Treasury agents, and no f
title in cotton or bill e>! sale will be respected \
until after the cotton is sold at New York
Country people having small kits of cotton are 1
permitted to bring the in to be exchanged !
for food and clothing foe their families. The 1
Quartermaster will set aside a store or warn- !
house, :o which each wagon bearing cotton will,
after entering the military lines, proceed direct, •
where an agent of the Treasury Department will j
receive and weigh the same, and pav for it the ]
price fixed in the Bth section of the Act of Con- !
gress, approved July 2, 1804. viz: three-fourths 1
the value of Cotton a* quoted in the New York
market; and the Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby requested to make appointments' ot
agents to carfv out the provisions ot' said act at ■
the posts of Hilton Head. Savaunah. Fernandi- t
ixa sad Jacksonville.
VII. In order that the duties hereby imposed 1
on commanding officers of Posts may not be i
neglected or slighted by the changes incident to i
rank and changes of troops, the Commanding |
General of the Department of the South will ap- ;
point a special officer to command at each of
said Posts, with a small garrison, aot to be
changed without his order; and when other
troops, commanded by a senior, are added or ar
rive, the command of' the post will not change,
but the additional troops will he encamped near
by ami act. according to special instructions.
