Commanding Fourth Wisconsin Volunteers.

COLONEL: * * * In your intercourse with the inhabitants you will do all in your power to correct misapprehension in regard to the intentions of the Government in the war which has been forced on it. Multitudes are laboring under delusions-the furit of misrepresentations and falsehood-which you may do much to dispel. Our mission is to uphold the Government against treasonable attempts to subvert it. We wage no war with individuals who are pursuing their peaceable occupations but with those who are in arms against the United States and those who encourage or aid them in their treason. * * * You will take especial care not to interfere in any manner with persons held to servitude, and in order that there may be no cause for misrepresentation or cavil you will not receive or allow any negro to come within your lines.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN A. DIX,
