The latest proclamation at Nashville.

The following is the latest Yankee edict from Nashville:


Headq'rs U. S Forces.
Nashville, Tenn., June 26 1863.
General Order, No. 10.
I. Ordinary caution having failed to secure the railroad between this place and Murfreesboro' against the attempt of the enemies who regard neither the usages of war nor the rights of humanity, a greater stringency becomes necessary to protect the lives of the passengers.

Any person, therefore, found is the vicinity of the railroad track after eight o'clock in the evening, will be held as a public enemy, and if he attempt to move off on the approach of any of our troops, will be shot down without halting.

If he gives himself up he will be sent directly to these headquarters to be disposed of by the authorities of this post.

By order of Brig.-Gen R. S. Granger.
A. Nevis, A. A. G.
