June 10, 1863, Savannah Republican (Georgia)
An order from the Federal War Department directs that within the States of Tennessee and Mississippi, wherever the Federals have the rule, all citizens shall be registered in three classes: First, avowed enemies; second, neutral foreigners; third, loyal citizens. The first class are to leave their lines by or before the 16th of June, and their property confiscated–the second are to take an oath of neutrality–the third to bear certificates of loyalty. No goods of any kind are allowed to be sold except by special permit, except to those showing evidence of loyalty.–Jackson Mississippian.
