The Daily Dispatch: October 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], General Taylor and provost Marshals. (search)
General Taylor and provost Marshals.
The Montgomery Advertiser announces that General Dick Taylor has abolished all provost offices in the district of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana.
The Advertiser thus speaks of the measure:
"It has been a common remark that more men were engaged as provost guards on the streets and trains than had been secured by such means to the service, and the country will heartily thank General Taylor for the inauguration of a policy looking both to the restoration of law in this regard, and to the strengthening of our armies by the use of the abundant material hitherto withheld from their support and scattered broadcast over the land.
The provost marshal system, as at present organized, is a nuisance, and ought to be dispensed with everywhere except in the immediate vicinity of our armies."

Abolishing provost offices.
--General Dick Taylor has done one thing for which he ought to be thanked, if he never does another.
He has abolished all the provost offices in the district of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana, over which he presides.
Captain Taylor, former provost-marshal at this place, has been ordered to report to Forrest, and the employees in his office to Major Jones, commandant of this post.--Montgomery Advertiser.
