CIRCULAR.] HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE, No. 11. Louisville, Ky., July 14, 1865.

It has been brought to the notice of the general commanding that many wanton depredations are being committed by the soldiers of this command upon both white and colored citizens in the vicinity of the camps. Commanding officers are required to keep their men in camp until the muster-out rolls are completed and the organization ready to start for the different State rendezvous. This promiscuous and general permission to visit the city, or to leave camp at all, except for the most urgent reasons, must cease.

By command of Major General John A. Logan:

MAX. WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

NASHVILLE, July 15, 1865.

From representations made to the general, he desires you to look after the people of Lincoln County, of this State.
