1838 Aug. 18, S. HOUSTON. GENERAL ORDER
General Order.
The brave men who. have so promptly rallied to their coun- trys defence, it is hoped, will soon be discharged, and return to their homes. They have done all that it was possible for them to achieve under the circumstances! The enemy are now dispersed, but not without some expectation, that they may again unite at some point, so as to a-nnoy a portion of our popµlation. The Troops in falling back, or returning, will treat the Indians, and their property, as its guardians; preventing, all injury to every species of property. This especial request is made of ·the Gallant officers, and men by the President, of the Republic with a confident hope that his old companions in arms will not disregard, his solemn request. I sa-lute the army.
