to organize and arm themselves as best they can,

them down whenever they find them, and to re- I
port tne fact, it the force is more titan they can
manage, to Lt Gen. Taylor at Macon, who will,
while he remains in Georgia, uphold and sustain
them by foree.
I am authorized by General Taylor to say that
he will give the citizens all the aid in his power,
to slay them when and wherever they are found
committing the outrages above mentioned, and iu
jdain cases, where proof of the robbery is satis

lasting debt of gratitude.
