The ! troops are pursuing 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 mediately send a man-of-war to prevent strag glers from leaving the coast.

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.” By Order of Major octl2-d20w3 FOR SALE, B.
