Doc. 190. affair at Paducah, Ky. General Smith's order. Headquarters United States forces, Paducah, Ky., Nov. 27, 1861. General Orders No. 36. On the afternoon of the 25th inst., a grave breach of discipline was committed by a part of this command, chiefly, if not altogether, by officers and soldiers of the Eleventh Indiana regiment, in the raising of a flag over the house of a resident of this city; not, certainly, by the act of raising our flag, but by the manner of proceeding — the attendant circumstances. The commanding General desires to address those engaged in this proceeding in a kindly spirit. He is aware they have subjected themselves to prosecution under the Articles of War. He is compelled to denounce the transaction as a great violation of good order and military discipline; but he is inclined to the belief that those engaged in it will, upon reflection, come to regard it in that light themselves.

General orders no. 48: Headquarters army of the Potomac, Washington, Nov. 27, 1861. the Sunday-morning company inspections prescribed by article thirty, Revised Army Regulations, will hereafter be made at eight o'clock A. M. Congress having by law provided for the employment of chaplains for the army, it was no doubt designed, and the General Commanding directs, that no officer place obstacles in the way of a proper exercise of the functions of their offices. It is therefore ordered, that in future the Sunday-morning services will commence at eleven o'clock, unless manifest military reasons prevent. Commanding officers will see that all persons connected with their commands, when not on guard or other important duty requiring their constant attention, have the opportunity afforded them of attending divine service. The second article of war earnestly recommends all officers and soldiers diligently to a

General Orders No. 4: In obedience to instructions received from the General commanding the Department of the Missouri, a change is proposed in the commerce of the river. To check communication with the enemy, prevent the conveyance of contraband goods, and avoid the recurrence of assaults upon our steamers, the entire commerce of the Mississippi River below this city is assumed, and will be directed, by the military and naval authorities of the United States. Government boats and no others will hereafter be employed, but freight and passengers will be conveyed at current rates, as heretofore. Mail agents will take entire charge of the mails, and boats entering these waters will report at the first military post and stop, to proceed under military orders at the discretion of the military commander. Freight and baggage will be subject to care
