that certain peaceable citizens of the Confed-
irute States have been 33i?ed and put to death
bv order of General Fitch, commanding the
army f the United Dtates. which had invaded
the State of Arkansas, upon the ground that
one of the said invading army had been shot
by some unknown person, who, whatever his
condition, had an unquestionable right to de
fend his home and whereas iuquiry has been
made of the Government of thf* United State?
as to the correctness of the said information,
and whether the action of Gen. Fitch ha? the
sanction of the said Government, to which in
quiry the authorities of the United States have
refused to answer; and whereas cur Govern
ment is thereby driven to retaliatory measure?,
as the only means to protect the lives of the
peaceable citizens of the Confederate States
who may fall into the hand? of Gen. Fitch or
any person* actfkg nndor L:i authority
It is hereby ordered that general officers
commanding troops of the Confederate States
shall forthwith ascertain and report to the
President whether such acts have been commit
ted, and upon being certified thereof, shall
forthwith set apart, by lot, from among any
prisoners taken from the army under the com
mand of Gen Fitch, a number of officers equal
in number to the persons who have been put
to death as aforesaid, and place in close con
finement for execution, at such time thereafter
as may be ordered by the President, and shall
regard the said Gen. Fitch, if captured, not as
a prisoner of war, but place him in confine
ment as a felon, until the further orders of the
President.

A negro woman brought up on a similar
charge disclosed the fact that she had paid
th^ee hundred dollars for a barrel. When tne
fact is taken into consideration that the whis
key (so called) is cf a color pretty much akin
to the water of the -James river and of suspi

Special Order No. 17-
The Colonel Commanding returns his thanks
tc the officers and men under his command
composing the Huntsville Expedition, for the
gallantry displayed in the storming of Fort
Clift, and the endurance shown upon the
march. The cheerfulness with which you per
formed the long and dangerous march across
the highest gap of the Cumberland range, is
worthy the highest admiration of ycur Com
mander. In less than twenty-four hours you
performed this journey, harassed by an insa
tiate and skulking foe, attacked and carried
their fortification at the point of the bayonet.
By your valor you have entirely broken up
thi3 nest of thievs and tories, dispersing them
beyond recall- You have destroyed their quar
termaster and commissary stores, arms and
crdnance stores Their banner which floated
defiantly from their breastworks is cow in
your possession. ‘The Colonel commanding
feels proud of his gallant brigade, and rests
assured that in the impending struggle their
deeds will add new laurels to Southern arms.
Special attention is called to the gallantry t of
Lieut. Taliaferro, J2th Ga Battalion, who first
scaled the fortification, cut down with bis
sword the colors cf the enemy and here them
away. The gallantry of private Welsh, Capt.
Ratcliff’s Cavalry, is aho worthy cf notice,
who, with naked sabre in hand, vied with
Lieut. Taliaferro in the capture of the colors.
