DAWN OF PEACE: Breaking Up of Sherman’s Veteran Army; The Army of Tennessee and the Army of Georgia to go to Richmond (5/2/1865)

The "Army of the Tennessee," and "Army of Georgia," take their departure from here in a day or two, for Richmond, Va.

The "Army of the Ohio," Gen. SCHOFIELD commanding, consisting of the Tewenty-third and the Tenth Corps, remain, and will be distributed as a garrison force throughout the State.

Gen. JOHNSTON's rebel army are to deliver up their effects to the United States authorities to-morrow, at Greensboro, seventy-five miles west of here.

It is requested that you remain in your homes as much as possible while the columns are passing by.

Hostilities having ceased promiscuous foraging is prohibited. The necessary supplies, in addition to what the army transports, will be procured from the country by purchase. Quartermasters and Commissaries will be instructed to pay the cash, or furnish proper vouchers. Citizens will do well to aid the officers commanding guards, patrols, &c., in every possible way, to apprehend and bring to punishment any thief or marauder who may separate himself from the column.

Every sort of precaution will be taken by our officers to render the march orderly; and, it is hoped, that the great terror that prevailed during active operations will now cease.

It being difficult to transport sufficient rations for an extended march, our officers have been requested to discourage refugees from following the army.

The ability to travel freely in any direction now exists, and precludes the former necessity of refugees accompanying or following us. Respectfully.

Mr. HOLDER, the editor of the Raleigh Standard, who is suggested as the Governor of the State, takes decided ground against the
