DIVISION ORDERS, Savannah,October 25, 1802. TJ it Court Martiak ( f which Major Shad v/as I?refi(lent, ordered for the trial of Lieu tenant Stackhoufe, on the charges exhibited agairdl him by Lt. Col. Mitchell, having found him guilty of the firtt, third, and fourth charges—to wit : “ nl. For unofficerike conducl on the eve ning of the 29th of September last, whilst on duty, in breaking open, and taking poftlfiffin by military force, cf the houfc of Mr. Isom Clay, on Tybcc I Hand. 2d. For difobediertee of orders and unoffi cerlike conduct, in leaving his poll from the morning of the 30th of September until his detachment was relieved. 4th. Io; disobedience cf orders and uneffi ci a! ik e con dud, on the eleventh infant, in not delivering up his sword when arretted.” And thereon having fen fenced him to re ceive a re; rimar.d from the Major-General, and to { ay a sum of one hundred and eighty dollars, being equal to fix months p.iy when in adltial service—the Major-General con fines the sentence and udlblves the court. Whilfc however, the Major-General is in duced to confirm the he is impelled to remark that it lias been more indulgent than Laeufcn inc Sw. khoufe had a right to exj#6h The Lieutenant was fer.t ro the fa ction at Cockfj i.r, to pio:c<fl the citizens ana their prop, rtv —not to violate their rights and break open their houses. He was in afludi lerv ce—the country in a fate of alarm, nor erdy in Geer ia, but along the whole southern couf of the United Stares. Invafon and in furrtc.ion were expelled, against either of which the fate had a right to protect herfelf until the arm of the Union couid’be ex.ended to her lupport. In fudi a fmution as this, for an officer to leave his poll—the post of 310 NOR asregar vied hin.fclf, and of TRUST I as it leipeded his country—was u ;par.:ona : 1 affected his com m i file n, if the rigour tel .w had been pursued—is not his life. A fin, as it rdpedls the fourth charge.— r - - o • uhd of his sword to the order of the f • is a profs violation if all military ! • ‘ ~d:e commiificn is the authority under vvhiGi the cjjlcn Las a right to wear the sword <7f su f —and the iword is the security or bail Ljo the fate, that the officer will faithfully yrif the trull repo fed in him—-if the prin ( ‘l , t Uds the fecunty becomes liable, and the Iwoi 1 mu if be taken from the officer charged Vrith violating his contracts. ° dut the idea of an officer’s sword being pi icare property after he iccei-ves his con> million is a mittaken one—the. comn.iffion is an exchange for its value—lt belongs ffildv to his country as reflects its use whilst he bolds lus commission, and may legally and inall be demanded hereafter on all occasions of ai rdl, in the firft division, and the officer rrfufing shall be punished if a Court Martial will order it—or be confined if the arreftin officer requires it. It is hoped that the leniency of the sentence in Mtiie caie ot Lieut. Stackhoule will never be febed on by any officer on any future occasion. [Lieutenant Stacknoefe (lands highly culpable the M.ijor-Gererai’s view, and is hereby I kverely reprimanded, with a hope that it | wid I c a vvarning to him in his future milita ry walks. 1 he Lieutenant will pay into the hands cf the proper officer of the Chatham Regi ::u; t, the fine of one hundred and eighty dol being the sentence of the court, within < . e month from the date of this order, and fund arrtfled until the fame is discharged— -Ino resignation will be accepted—and if the lame be not paid in one month, the com man ding officer of the Chatham Regiment viii iliuc his warrant to levy the fame. 1 his cr er will be pubkihed in one of the I Gazettes or thi* city, far the information of the officers of the Full Division. j By order cf Major-General Jackson, CHARLTON, Aid-de-Camp. i After Division Orders , Os?. 2c, 1802- f - being received of the failing cf he ve fife Is from the coast of the U.
