GENERSL ORDER

al Smith regards as refined gold, and
he requests that these rolls be sent to
the Executives of their respective
States.

the ninety blue, with portrait of Wash
ington as a young general. The threes
it is unnecessary to describe.
This excellent plan of supplying
change will put a stop- to hoarding
small coin, and soon bring clown the
premium.
THE AIM OF THE REBELS,
By this time the People of the Loy
al States ought to be well apprised of
the aim and object of the South in re
belling against the best Government in
the world. If any still suppose that it
was the Tariff—the Negro—or any
Grievances under which they groaned
for half a century patiently or forbear
ingly, until hope had become a phan
tom, and resistance for existence the
only remedy—we pity their ignorance,
their credulity, or their prejudices in
setting their faces, in the full light of
heaven, against facts as incontroverti
ble as they are prominent and mani
fold. Gen. Jackson thoroughly under
stood, as early as 1833, the feeling and
purposes of the traitors when they at
tempted, during his administration,
to effect what they aro now employing
their uttermost energies in attempting
to accomplish, to wit: their Adependenee
front the rest of the Union. The plausi
ble grievances put forth in the shape
of the Tariff and the Negro, by which
they were enabled for a long series of
years to hold possession of the Govern
ment, enrich themselves from its treas
ury, and at the same time preparing
deliberately for destroying it as soon
as it should be wrested from their
hands—were the merest pretences,
too transparent to blind any observing
man to their real intentions. Jackson
understood them, and warned us to
the true nature of these demonstra
tions. It was the Tariff in 1533 ;he
said it would be Slavery next; and if
that failed, something else equally
false, calculated to aid them in their
damnable scheme.
The South proper, has long been,
there is abundant proof to show, op
posed to our present form of Govern
ment. They are opposed to the prin
ciples enunciated in the Declaration of
Independence, and the Democratic-Re
publican Institutions flowing there
from. They desire to establish an ar
istocracy, if not a monarchy, in which
the few shall'rule the many; to recog
nize an order of nobility, and only two
classes, the rich and poor; annul uni
versal suffrage, and cause everybody
and everything to bend to the govern
ing few, without questioning, and with
out the power to resist.
To show, in very few words, that
this consummation is the very founda
tion of the rebellion, and that we have
the record to prove what we say, it is
only necessary to quote from a late
number of Do Bow's Review, which,
for many years was published in Wash
ington up to the breaking out of the
war, and which was always regarded
as the organ of the Southern Aristoc
racy. It says :
" The real civilization of a country
is in its aristocracy. The masses are
moulded into soldiers and artisans by
intellect, just as matter and the ele
ments of nature are made into tele
graphs and steam engines. The poor,
who labor all day, aro too tired at
night to study books. If you make
them learned they soon forget all that
is not necessary in the common trans
action of life."
"To make an aristocrat in the future,
we must sacrifice a thousand paupers.
Yet we would by all means make them
—make them prominent, too, by laws
of entail and primogeniture."
"Nobody feels degraded by paying re
spect and admiration to a nobleman."
" The right to govern resides in a very
small minority; the duty to obey is in
herent in the great mass of mankind."
"There is nothing to which the
South entertains so great a dislike as
suffrage. Wherever foreigners settle
together in large numbers, there uni
versal suffrage will exist."
"An aristocracy is patriarchal, pa
rental, and representative. The feu
dal barons of England were next to
the fathers the most perfect represen
tative government. The king and bar
ons represented everybody, because
everybody belonged to them."
" The real contest of to-day is not
simply between the North and South;
but to determine whether for ages to
come our Government shall partake
more of the form of monarchies or of
more liberal forms (of liberal govern
! moots..")
" All government begins with usur
pation and is continued by force."
These extracts, which every one can
read for himself, exhibit the real senti
ments of the Southern Aristocracy,
and the end they hoped to accomplish
by instigating the masses of the
peo
ple among them, through the most

up arms against their country and
countrymen, when the only result in
the event of their success would prove
to be their own perpetual degradation.

Whenever it is known that supplies

sistence will be dispensed with as far
as possible.

Hereafter in all operations of the cav

ply or baggage trains of any descrip-

Two days' cooked rations will be
carried on the persons of the men,

Movements of cavalry must always
be made with celerity, and no delay in
such movements will be excused, here
after, on any pretext.
Whenever the order for the move
ment of any portion of this army ema
nates from these Headquarters, the
time of marching, and that to be in the
execution of the duty, will be special
ly designated; and no departure there
from will be permitted to-puss unno

conclusive reasons. The commanding

strict and prompt compliance with
every provision of this order.

GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 7.
Headquarters of the Army of
Virginia, Washington„C
July 18, 18G2. )
The people of the Valley of the
Shenandoah, and throughout the re
gion of the operation of this army,
living along the lines of railroad and
telegraph, and along the routes of
travel in the rear of the United States
forces, are notified that they will be
held responsible for any injury done to
the track, line or road, or for any at
tacks upon trains or straggling sol
diers by bands of guerillas in their
neighborhood.
No privileges or immunities of war
can apply to the lawless bands of in
dividuals not forming apart of the or
ganized forces of the enemy, nor wear
ing the garb of soldiers, who, seeking
to obtain safety on the pretext of be
ing peaceful citizens, start out in the
rear of the army, attack and murder
straggling soldiers, molest trains of
supplies, destroy railroads, telegraph
IMes, and bridges, and commit outra
ges disgraceful to a civilized people
and revolting to humanity.
Evil disposed persons in the rear of
our armies, who do not themselves en
gage directly in these lawless acts, en
courage them by refusing to interfere
or to give any information by which
such acts can be prevented or the per
petrators punished. The safety of the
life and property of all persons living
in the rear of our advancing armies,
depends upon the maintenance of peace
and quiet among themselves; and upon
the unmolested movements through
their midst of all pertaining to the
military service. They are to under
stand distinctly that this security of
travel is their only warrant of person
al safety. It is, therefore, ordered
that, whenever a railroad, wagon road
or telegraph lino is injured by parties
of guerilla._, the citizens living within
five miles of the spot, shall be turned
out en masse to repair the damage, and
shall besides pay to the 'United States
in money, or in property, to be levied
by military force, the full amount of
the pay and subsistence of the whole
force necessary to coerce the perform
ance of the work during the time
oc
cupied in completing it.
If any soldier or legitimate follower
of the army be fired upon from any
house, the house shall be razed to the
ground and the inhabitants sent priso
ners to the headquarters of this army.
If such an outrage occur at any place
distant from the settlements, the peo
ple within five miles around shall be
held accountable wild made to pay an
idemnity sufficient for the ease. Any
persons detected in such outrages, ei
ther during the act or at any time at:
terwards, shall be shot without wait
bib: civil process.
'o such nets can influence the re
sults of this war, and they can only
lead toheavy affliction to the popula
tion to no purpose. It is, therefore,
enjoined upon all persons, both for the
-PERSEVERE.-
security of their property and the safe
ty of their own persons, that they act
vigorously and" cordially together to
prevent the perpetration of such out
-rages.
'Whilst it is the wish of the General
commanding this army, that all peace
ably disposed persons who remain at
their homes and pursue their accus
tomed avocations shall be subjected to
no improper burthen of war; yet their
own safety must of necessity depend
upon tho strict preservation of peace
and order among themselves, and they
are to understand that nothing will
deter him from enforcing, promptly
and to the full extent, every provision
of this order.
