Your communication of July 24th enclosing article from the Macon Daily Tellegraph quoting from the application made by Genl Tillson for permission to place the County of Stewart under martial law, stating that the latter part, which is the language of the editor, is calculated to do mischief and requesting that the paper may be compelled to correct said article, has been laid before the Ass't Com'r who directs me to say that it is not considered practicable to take any direct action in the matter at this late date

Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
