 I. The operations of General Order, No. 65, respecting Conscript 
 Teamsters, is not intended to affect the transportation of the several "Supply 
 Associations," or to interfere with the objects of the State Legislature, which 
 has so generously placed in the hands of the Chief Justices of the various 
 counties means to procure necessaries for soldiers' families. 
 
 II. Teamsters employed by the heads of these Associations, and by the 
 Chief Justices, who have certificates showing that they are so employed', will 
 be allowed to pass to and from the Rio Grande, without detention or molesta- 
 tion. 
 
 III. Conscripts will be detailed upon application by the Supply Asso- 
 ciations and the Chief Justices, when such application is accompanied with 
 evidence that their services are absolutely necessary to enable them to trans- 
 port Cotton to the Rio Grande.
