Doc. 46.-Brigadier-General Loan's order. headquarters District N. W. Missouri, St. Joseph, May 26, 1862. 1. It has become manifest that rebels returning from the armies of the insurgents, and other disaffected and disloyal persons, are, throughout this military district, organizing bands to act during the ensuing season as guerrillas and banditti. It is intended to resort to the most vigorous measures to suppress these outlaws; and to this end it is enjoined upon all commands, scoutin the border, and so bold and daring in the commission of crime, that it is utterly impossible for the civil tribunals to punish the perpetrators of crime with sufficient promptness and severity to deter them from committing further outrages, and to furnish protection to the citizens. Hereafter the perpetrators of such crimes, when arrested, will be tried and punished at the discretion of a military commission. By order of Brigadier-General Loan. James Rainsford, Assistant Adjutant-General.
