ing to rfeach the sea shore: with the probable
intentioin of findihg ships ! on Which to escape

them ih various directions. The bands are
composed of bandits whom Captain General
Lergundi’s vigorous measures had driven to
the mountains. i -j. I
‘ There were among them numbers of per
sons without regular occupations, and ready
for anything which promised aiijr excitement.'
The entire number of^ insurgents - were about
two. hundred. The Cap tain General will im

General Orders, No. 27.
“Whebejm, By an act of Congress of tho United
States, approved March 2d,1865, it is made the duty of
the militaiy authority to preserve the peace at the
. polls at any election that may be held in any of the'
States;And wnereas, this duty has become the more
imperative, trom the existing political excitement in
the public mmd, from the recent organization of civil
government, and from the fact that Congress has, by
statute, prohibited the organization of military forces
in the several States of this Department, it is there
fore, ordered,
“That tne several District Commanders wilh'as g
soon as practicable, on the receipt of this order, die-’
tribute the troops under their commands as fol
lows:
In the District of Georgia:
‘ One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Colnmbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry, to Washington, (Wilkes
county.; , . ; : :
One company 16th Infantry, to Americns.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C) 5th cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reinforced, should
occasion require, by snch number of the men at Fort
Pulaski as can do spared from tne post.
“Detachments, when necessary, maybe made to
points in the vicinity of each post, but in no case, nor
on any pretext whatever, will detachments be sent
without a commissioned officer, who will be folly in
structed by his post commander.
“ The troops will be considered as in the field, and
, supplied witn the necessary camp equipage ; the men
to be furnished with common tents if practicable, and
if not .practicable, with shelter -tents. Commanding
officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily,
when it can oe done for reasonable rates; but this will
not precinde the necessity of carrying tents, as the
commands, in all cases, must be in readiness to move
atthe ghortesi notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District commanders will instruct Post Comman
ders in their duties, and the relative position of the‘
civil and military powers. They will impress on Post
Commanders that they are to act in 'aid,
co-operation and in subordination to the civil author
ities : that they are to exercise discretion and judgr
ment. unbiased by political or other prejudices ; that
their object snould bo exclusively to preserve the
peace and upnold the law and order, and they must be
satisfied suen is the object of the civil officer calling
on them for aid ; that they mnst in all cases where
time will permit, apply for .instruction to superior au
thority, but tney must at all hazards, preserve the
peace, and not be restrained by technicalpoints, when,
in their conscientious judgment under the roles above
set forth, It is their duty to act. Post Commanders
on being notified of the proposed holding of political
meetings, may send an officer, and if neoessary a de
tachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the
peace is preserved.
“ To the people of the several States composing the
Department, the Major General Commanding appeals
that they will co-operate witk t im and the civil au
thorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving
the peace and in avoiding those scenes of riot and
bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property
and life, which has already, in "some instances, been
enacted in tne Department! He urges abstinence
from &11 inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing, the keeping open of
liquor shops on dayB of political meetings and of elec
tion i the abstaining from carrying arms, and assert
ing the individual right of construing laws by force; of,
arms. No just canse is ever advanced by. resort to
violence. Let there be charity and forbearance among
political opponents, whatever may be the result; let
each good cnlzefi determine that all who, under the
law, have the nght to the ballot shall exercise it un
disturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let
them be referred to! the Courts; and let* not ‘mobs- or
political clnos, or other irresponsible-tiodieay construe
yul undertone to execute the law. 1 This appeal is
made in the earnest hope that "the Major General Com-
1 manciing can reiy op the good sense and correct judg
ment of the mass of the people, and that he will
not be compelled to resort to the exercise ef the
power with which he is entrusted, and which he
will most reluctlantly employ. Bnt he thinks it hia
duty to make known, that. so far ar the power under
his command will admit, he will notpermit the peace
to be broken, and that he will not be restrained in the
conscientioua discharge of his duty by technicalities
of laws made when the present anomalous condition
Of affairs were neither anticipated or provided for.”
