occupy houses at the expense of the United States on any account, nor
at all, unless they should occupy grounds contiguous to their brigades.
A better state of discipline than has heretofore been maintained with
much of this command is demanded and will be enforced.
Division commanders will see that the above order is published to
their respective commands and that the same is strictly enforced.
By order of Maj. Gen U. S. Grant:
JNO. A. RAWLINS,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF WEST TENNESSEE,
Savannah, March 19, 1862.
General D. C. BUELL,
Commanding Army in the Field :
Feeling a little anxious to learn your whereabouts and as much as
possible of your present movements, I send two scouts, Breckinridge
and Carson, to you: Any information you will send by them I will be
glad to learn. I am massing troops at Pittsburg, Tenn. There is every
reason to suppose that the rebels have a large force at Corinth, Miss.,
and many at other points on the road toward Decatur.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE OHIO,
Nashville, March 19, 1862.
Brig. Gen. ANDREW JOHNSON,
Military Governor :
SIR : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communi-
cation of this date, inquiring-
Upon whom and to what extent you can rely for the military force necessary to ex-
ecute such order or orders as you in the discharge of your duties may deem expedient,
prudent, and proper to make.
The troops under my command will be instructed to comply with the
requisitions which you may in my absence make upon them for the en-
forcement of your authority as Military Governor within their respective
limits.
For this city, your requisitions made directly to the provost-marshal
will be executed by him without further reference. This, no doubt, will
cover all the objects you will have in view, and therefore it may be
unnecessary to add that any requisitions which would involve the move-
ment of troops must of course be dependent on the plan of military
operations against the enemy.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
D. C. BUELL,
Brigadier- General, Commanding.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE OHIO,
Nashville, March 19, 1862.
To the Board on Property:
The power to declare the confiscation of private property rests with
the civil tribunals under the laws of Congress.47
