Gen. John Gibbon, commanding at Pe
tersburg, has issued the following order:
".EIR ADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF THE NOT
TOWAT, PETERSBURG, VA., Dec. 19, 1865.
General Orders No. havino• ° been
reported to these headquarters thata cer
tain social gathering is to be held in this
city, only with the - understanding that no
`Yankees are to be invited thereto, and the
Major General commanding being satisfied
that the idea of such a restriction could
have emanated only-from the intellect of
those too craven to fight in defence of their
opinions, or too degraded to appreciate the
liberal spirit in which they have been
treated, it is hereby ordered that at the
tournament to be held on Wednesday, the
20th instant, no officer or soldier of the'
United States shall lend to any party in
said tournament any horse, saddle, bridle,
or equipment of any kind; and all persons
loyal to the Government of the United
States are warned against attending such
disreputable and disloyal meeting, that
those who do attend may be marked as
Unworthy to associate with those who have
honor and honesty enough to regard their
oaths of allegiance as something more
than lip service, and too much principle
to be blindly led by a foolish woman.
"It is further ordered that no officer having
Government property in his charge, will,
until further orders, use such property in
any way for the benefit of any citizen of
Petersburg.
"By command of Major General John
Gibbon. W. H. MALE,
