IT being represented that the Confederate
army and armed bands of robbers, acting
• professedly under the authority of the Confede
rate Government, are ftarrassing the p»eople of
Georgia and endeavoring to intimidate thorn in
the efforts they are making to secure to them
selves provisions, clothing, security to life and
property, and the restoration of law and good
government in the State, it is hereby ordered and
made public:
Ist. That the fanners of Georgia may brin"
into Savannah, ‘Fernandina or“
Florida, marketing, such as beef, pork, mutton!
vegetables of any kind, fish, Ac., as well as cot
ton in small quantities, and sell the same in open
market, except the cotton, which must be sold by
or through the Treasury Agents, and may invest
the proceeds in family stores, such as bacon
and dour, in any reasonable quantities, groce
ries, shoes and clothing, and articles not contra
band of war, and carry the same back to their
families. No trade store will be attempted in
the interior, or stocks of goods sold'’ for them,
but families may club together for mutual assist
ance and protection in coming and going.
2d. The people are encouraged to r meet to
gether in peaceful assemblages to discuss meas
ures looking to their safety and good government
and the restoration of State and National au
thority, and will be protected by the National
army when so doing ; and all peaceable inhabi
tants who satisfy the commanding officers that
they are earnestly laboring to that end, must not
only be left undisturbed in property and person,
but must be protected as far as possible, consist
ent with the military operations. If any farmer
or peaceable inhabitant is molested by the ene
my, viz: the Confederate army or guerrillas, be
cause of his friendship to the National Govern
ment, the perpetrator, if caught, will be summa
ly punished, or his family made to suffer tor the
outrage; hut if the crime cannot be traced to the
actual party, then retaliation will be made on
the adherents to the cause of the Rebellion
should a Union man be murdered, then a Rebel
selected by lot will be shot—or if a Union family
lie persecuted on account of the cause, a Rebel
family will be banished to a foreign land. In
aggravated cases retaliation will extend as high
as five for one. All commanding officers will act
promptly in such cases, and report their action
after the retaliation is done.
