 16 During the absence of the Quartermaster-General, or the 
 
 chief of any military bureau of the War Department, his duties in 
 the bureau, prescribed by law or regulations, devolve on the officer of 
 his department empowered by the President to perform them in his 
 absence. (Act July 4, 1836.) 
 
 17. . . .An officer who succeeds to any command or duty stands in

 physical ability, moral character, attainments, and general fitness for 
 the service. If the Board report in favor of the applicant, he will be

 APPOINTMENTS ON THE STAFF. 
 
 32.... As far as practicable, all appointments and details on the 
 staff will be equalized on the several regiments. 
 
 33 General Officers appoint their own Aides-de-camp. 
 
 34. . . .An officer shall not fill any staff appointment, or other situa- 
 tion, the duties of which will detach him from his company, regiment^

 corps ; nor shall any officer (aides-de-camp excepted) so remain de- 
 tached longer than four years. 
 
 35. . . .An officer of a mounted corps shall not be separated from 
 his regiment, except for duty connected with his particular arm. 
 
 36 The senior Lieutenant present, holding the appointment of 
 
 Assistant Commissary of Subsistence, is entitled to perform the du' 
 ties.

 DISTKIBUTION OF THE TROOPS. 
 
 37.... The military geographical departments will be established 
 by the War Department. In time of peace, brigades or divisions will 
 not be formed, nor the stations of the troops changed, without author- 
 ity from the War Department. 
 
 AETICLE IX. 
 
 CARE OF FORTIFICATIONS. 
 
 88 . . . .No person shall be permitted to walk upon any of the slopes 
 of a fortification, excepting the ramps and glacis. If, in any case, it 
 be necessary to provide for crossing them, it should be done by pla- 
 cing wooden steps or stairs against the slopes. The occas/owa^ walking 
 of persons on a parapet will do no harm, provided it be not allowed 
 to cut the surface into paths. 
 
 39 .... No cattle, horses, sheep, goat, or other animal, shall ever be 
 permitted to go upon the slopes, the ramparts, or the parapets, nor 
 upon the glacis, except within fenced limits, which should not ap- 
 proach the crest nearer than 30 feet. 
 
 40. . . .AH grassed surfaces, excepting the 'ifiacis, will be carefully 
 and frequently mowed (except in dry weathei), and the oftener the 
 better, while growing rapidly — the grass never being allowed to be 
 more than a few inches high. In order to cut the grass even and 
 close, upon small slopes a light one-handed scythe should be used ; 
 and in mowing the steep slopes, the mower should stand on a light 
 
6 Care of Fortifications, 
 
 ladder resting against the slope, and not upon the grass. Crops of 
 hay may be cut on the glacis ; or, if fenced, it may be used as pas- 
 ture ; otherwise it should be treated as other slopes of the fortifica- 
 tion. On all the slopes, spots of dead grass will be cut out and re- 
 placed by fresh sods. All weeds will be eradicated. A very' little 
 labor, applied steadily and judiciously, will maintain the grassed sur- 
 faces, even of the largest of our forts, in good condition. 
 
 41 ... . The burning of gi*ass upon any portion of a fortification is 
 strictly forbidden. 
 
 42 Particular attention is required to prevent the formation of 
 
 gullies in the parade, terreplein, and ramps, and especially in slopes 
 where grass is not well established. If neglected, they soon involve 
 heavy expense. 
 
 43 Earth, sand, or ashes must not be placed against wood- 
 work ; a free ventilation must be preserved around it ; and all wood- 
 en floors, platforms, bridges, &,c., will be kept clean swept. 
 
 44 ... . The machinery of draw-bridges, gates, and posterns must 
 be kept in good working order by proper cleaning and oiling of the 
 parts ; the bridges will be raised, and the gates and posterns opened 
 as often, as once a week. 
 
 45 The terrepleins of forts, the floors of casemates, caponniers, 
 
 store-rooms, barracks, galleries, posterns, magazines, &c., and the 
 sidewalks in front of quarters and barracks, as well as other walks, 
 are sometimes paved with bricks or stones, or formed of concrete. 
 These surfaces must be preserved from injury with great care. In 
 transporting guns and carriages, and in mounting them, strong way- 
 planks will be used, and neither the wheels nor any other part of the 
 carriages, nor any machinery, such as shears, gins, &c., nor any hand- 
 spike or other implements, wiU be allowed to touch those surfaces. 
 Unless protected in a similar manner, no wheel-barrow or other 
 vehicle, no barrels, hogsheads, &c., will be rolled upon these surfaces. 
 No violent work will be suffered to be done upon them, such as cut- 
 ting wood, breaking coal, &c., and no heavy weight be thrown or per- 
 mdtted to fall thereon. In using machines, as gins, &c., in case- 
 mates, care must be taken not to injure the arch or ceiling, as well as 
 the floor. Neglect of these precautions may cause injuries slight in 
 appearance but serious in effect from the leaking of water into ma- 
 sonry and casemates, and expensive to repair. 
 
 46 ... . The doors and windows of all store-rooms and unoccupied 
 casemates, quarters, barracks, &c., will be opened several times a 
 week for thorough ventilation. 
 
 47 The masonry shot-furnaces will be heated only on the ap- 
 
Care of Armaments and Ammunitum, 7 
 
 proach of an enemy. For ordinary practice with hot shot, iron fur- 
 naces are provided. 
 
 48 ... . The foregoing matters involve but little expense ; the labor 
 is within the means of every garrison, and no technical knowledge is 
 called for beyond what will be found among soldiers. Other repairs 
 requiring small disbursements, such as repainting exposed wood or 
 iron work, can be also executed by the garrison; but reports, esti- 
 mates, and requisitions may be necessary to obtain the materials. 
 
 49 No alteration will be made in any fortification, or in its 
 
 casemates, quarters, barracks, magazines, store-houses, or any other 
 building belonging to it ; nor will any building of any kind, or work 
 of earth, masonry, or timber be erected within the fortification, or on 
 its exterior within half a mile, except under the superintendence of 
 the Engineer Department, and by the authority of the Secretary of 
 War.

 CARE OF ARMAMENT OF FORTIFICATIONS. 
 
 50 .... At each permanent post with a fixed battery, and garrisoned 
 by not more than one company, there will be kept mounted, for pur- 
 poses of instruction and target practice, thf^ee heavy guns, and at posts 
 garrisoned by more than one company, at the rate of two for each of 
 the companies composing its garrison. The other guns dismounted 
 will be liToperly placed (see page 21, Ordnance Manual for 1850) 
 within their own traverse circles, and the carriages preserved from the 
 weather. 
 
 51 All guns should be sponged clean and their vents examined 
 
 to see that they are clear. The chassis should be traversed and left 
 in a different position, the top candage moved backward and forward 
 and left alternately over the. front and rear transoms of the chassis; 
 the elevating screws or machines wiped clean, worked and oiled if re- 
 quired, and the nuts of all bolts screwed up tight. This should all be 
 done regularly once in every week. 
 
 52 ... . When tarpaulins, or pent houses, are placed over the guns, 
 they should be removed once a week when the weather is fair, the 
 carriages and guns brushed off', and, if damp, allowed to dry. 
 
 53. . . .An old sponge-staff' and head should be used for drill. The 
 new sponges should never be used unless the gun is fired. The im- 
 plements should be kept in store, under cover, and be examined, 
 wiped clean or brushed at least once a month. In the case of leather 
 equipments, the directions for the preservation of harness in the Ord- 
 nance Manual should be followed. 
 
8 Artillery Practice, 
 
 54 The magazine should be frequently examined to see that the 
 
 powder is well preserved. It should be opened every other day when 
 the air is dry and clear. Barrels of powder should be turned and 
 rolled occasionally. Under ordinary circumstances, only a few car- 
 tridges should be kept filled. If the paper body of the cartridge be- 
 comes soft or loses its sizing, it is certain that the magazine is very 
 damp, and some means should be found to improve the ventilation. 
 Cartridge bags may be kept in the magazine ready for filling ; also 
 port-fires, fuzes, tubes, and primers. Stands of grape, canisters, and 
 wads for barbette guns, should be kept in store with the implements. 
 For casemate guns, w^ads may be hung in bundles, and grape and can- 
 isters placed near the guns. Shot, well lacquered and clean, may be 
 placed in piles near the guns. 
 
 ARTICLE XI. 
 
 ARTILLERY PRACTICE. 
 
 55 At all posts with fixed batteries, the position of every gun, 
 
 mounted or to be mounted, will have its number, and this number be 
 placed on the gun w^hen in position. 
 
 6Q. . . .For every such work a post-book of record will be kept, un- 
 der the direction of the commander of the post, in which will be duly 
 entered — the number of each mounted gun, its calibre, weight, names 
 of founder and its inspector, and other marks ; the description of its 
 carriage and date of reception at the post ; where from ; and the 
 greatest field of fire of the gun in its position. 
 
 57. . . .Every commander of a fort or other fixed battery will, be- 
 fore entering on artillery practice, carefully reconnoitre and cause to 
 be sketched for his record-book, the water-channels with their sound- 
 ings, and other approaches to the work. Buoys or marks will be 
 placed at the extreme and intermediate ranges of the guns, and these 
 marks be numerically noted on the sketch. A buoy at every five 
 hundred yards may suffice. 
 
 58 At the time of practice, a distinct and careful note will be 
 
 made for the record-book of eveiy shot or shell that may be throTVTi, 
 designating the guns fired by their numbers, the charges of powder 
 used, the times of flight of shots and shells, the ranges and ricochets, 
 and the positions of guns in respect to the horizontal and vertical lines. 
 
 59 ... . The time of flight of a shell may be noted with sufficient ac- 
 curacy by a stop-watch, or by counting the beats (previously ascertain- 
 ing their value) of other watches, and the range may sometimes be 
 computed by the time of flight. Other modes of ascertaining the 
 range will readily occur to officers of science. 
 
Artillery Practice » 9 
 
 60 When charged shells with fuzes are thrown, the time of 
 
 bursting will be noted. If they are intended to fall on land, only a 
 blowing charge will be given to the shells, so that they may be pick- 
 ed up for further use. 
 
 61 On filling from the barrel, the proof range of powder will be 
 
 marked on the cartridges. 
 
 62. . . .The general objects of this practice are — to give to officers 
 and men the ready and effective use of batteries ; to preserve on rec- 
 ord the more important results for the benefit of the same, or future 
 commanders, and to ascertain the efficiency of guns and carriages. 
 
 63 ... . Commanders of field artillery will also keep registers of 
 their practice, so that not a shot or shell shall be thrown in the 
 Army, for instruction, without distinct objects, such as range, accu- 
 racy of aim, number of ricochets, time of bursting, in the case of 
 shells, &c. 
 
 64. . . .Every company with a field battery will be allowed for an- 
 nual practice 500 blank cartridges and a third of that number of 
 shot or shell. Companies with fixed batteries will be allowed 100 
 cartridges each, with seventy-five shots or shells. This ammunition 
 will be expended in equal parts in the three months designated be- 
 low, and if the company be mounted, eight blank cartridges will be 
 allowed for each of the other months in the year. This allowance is 
 intended only for companies permanently ^Qxymg with batteries. The 
 firing with field-guns by other Artillery companies must be confined 
 to blank cartridges. 
 
 65.... For all Artillery there will be annually three periods of 
 practice in firing — April, June, and October for the latitude of Wash- 
 ington and south ; and May, July, and September north of that lat- 
 itude. 
 
 66. . . .At the termination of each period of practice, the com- 
 manding officers of posts will transmit to the Adjutant-General full 
 reports of the results, in order that proper tabular statements may be 
 prepared for the War Department. 
 
 67. . . .To determine accuracy of aim in firing shot and shell, 
 butts or targets will be used. Where no natural butt presents itself, 
 targets will be erected. A form for floating targets will be sent to 
 the commanders of the several forts. 
 
 68 .... As practice in gunnery is a heavy expense to government, 
 commanders of companies and their immediate superiors are charged 
 with the strict execution of the foregoing details ; and all officers au- 
 thorized to make tours of inspection will report, through the pre- 
 scribed channels, on such execution.

 REGIMENTS. 
 
 69 On the organization of a regiment, the companies receive a 
 
 permanent designation by letters beginning with A, and the officers 
 are assigned to companies ; afterward, company officers succeed to 
 companies, as promoted to fill vacancies. Companies take place in 
 the battalion according to the rank of their captains. 
 
 70 ... , Captains must serve with their companies. Though subject 
 to the temporary details of service, as for courts-martial, military 
 boards, «S;c., they shall not be detailed for any duty which may sep- 
 arate them for any considerable time from their companies. 
 
 71 ... . The commander of a regiment will appoint the adjutant 
 from the subalterns of the regiment. He will nominate the regi- 
 mental quarter-master to the Secretary of War for appointment if ap- 
 proved. He will appoint the non-commissioned staff of the regiment ; 
 and, upon the recommendation of the company commanders, the 
 sergeants and corporals of companies. 
 
 72 .... In cases of vacancy, and till a decision can be had from 
 regimental head-quarters, the company commanders may make tem- 
 porary appointments of non-commissioned officers. 
 
 73 Commanders of regiments are enjoined to avail themselves 
 
 of every opportunity of instructing both officers and men in the exer- 
 cise and management of field artillery ; and all commanders ought to 
 encourage useful occupations, and manly exercises, and diversions 
 among their men, and to repress dissipation and immorality. 
 
 74. .. .It is enjoined upon all officers to be cautious in reproving 
 non-commissioned officers in the presence or hearing of privates, lest 
 their authority be weakened ; and non-commissioned officers are not 
 to be sent to the guard-room and mixed with privates during confine- 
 ment, but be considered as placed in arrest, except in aggravated 
 cases, where escape may be apprehended. 
 
 75 Non-commissioned officers may be reduced to the ranks by 
 
 the sentence of a court-martial, or by order of the commander of the 
 regiment on the application of the company commander. If re- 
 duced to the ranks by garrison courts, at posts not the head-quarters 
 of the regiment, the company commander will immediately foi-ward a 
 transcript of the order to the regimental commander. 
 
 76 Every non-commissioned officer shall be furnished with a 
 
 certificate or warrant of his rank, signed by the colonel and counter- 
 signed by the adjutant. Blank warrants, on parchment, are furnish- 
 
Regiments, 11 
 
 ed from the Adjutant-General's office. The firsts or orderly ser- 
 geant, will be selected by the captain from the sergeants. 
 
 77 ... . When it is desired to have bands of music for regiments, 
 there will be allowed for each, sixteen privates to act as musicians, in 
 addition to the chief musicians authorized by law, provided the total 
 number of privates in the regiment, including the band, does not ex- 
 ceed the legal standard. 
 
 • 78 ; . . . The musicians of the band will, for the time being, be drop- 
 ped from company muster-rolls, but they will be instructed as sol- 
 diers, and liable to serve in the ranks on any occasion. They will be 
 mustered in a separate squad under the chief musician, with the non- 
 commissioned staff, and be included in the aggregate in all regiment- 
 al returns. 
 
 79. . . .When a regiment occupies several stations, the band will be 
 kept at the head-quarters, joro?;io?eo? troops (one or more companies) 
 be serving there. The field music belonging to companies not sta- 
 tioned at regimental head-quarters will not be separated from their 
 respective companies. 
 
 80. ...No man, unless he be a carpenter, joiner, carriage-maker, 
 blacksmith, saddler, or harness-maker, will be mustered as an " art- 
 ificer." 
 
 81. . . .Every article, excepting arms and accoutrements, belonging 
 to the regiment, is to be marked with the number and name of the 
 regiment. 
 
 82 ... . Such articles as belong to companies are to be marked with 
 the letter of the company, and number and name of the regiment ; 
 and such as belong to men, with their individual numbers, and the 
 letter of the company. 
 
 83 ... . The books for each regiment shall be as follows : 
 
 1. General Order Book, of three quires of paper, 16 inches by 10^ 
 inches, to contain all orders and circulars from general, de- 
 partment, division, or brigade head-quarters, with an index.

 arms, accoutrements, and equipments, and also as to their quarters or 
 tents. 
 
Companies, 13 
 
 89 The name of each soldier will be labeled on his bunk, and 
 
 his company number will be placed against his arms and accoutre- 
 ments. 
 
 90 The arms will be placed in the arm-racks, the stoppers in the 
 
 muzzles, the cocks let down, and the bayonets in their scabbards ; the 
 accoutrements suspended over the arms, and the swords hung up by 
 the belts on pegs. 
 
 91. . . .The knapsack of each man will be placed on the lower shelf 
 of his bunk, at its foot, packed with his eifects, and ready to be slung ; 
 the great-coat on the same shelf, rolled and strapped ; the coat, folded 
 inside out, and placed under the knapsack ; the cap on the second or 
 upper shelf ; and the boots well cleaned. 
 
 92 Dirty clothes will be kept in an appropriate part of the knap- 
 sack ; no article of any kind to be put under the bedding. 
 
 93 ... . Cooking utensils and table equipage will be cleaned and ar- 
 ranged in closets or recesses ; blacking and brushes out of view ; the 
 fuel in boxes. 
 
 94 Ordinarily the cleaning will be on Saturdays. The chiefs of 
 
 .squads will cause bunks and bedding to be overhauled ; floors dry 
 rubbed; tables and benches scoured; arms cleaned; accoutrements 
 whitened and polished, and every thing put in order. 
 
 95 ... . Where conveniences for bathing are to be had, the men should 
 bathe once a week. The feet to be washed at least twice a week. 
 The hair kept short, and beard neatly trimmed. 
 
 96. . . .Non-commissioned officers, in command of squads, will be 
 held more immediately responsible that their men observe what is pre- 
 scribed above ; that they wash their hands and faces daily ; that they 
 brush or comb their heads ; that those who are to go on duty put their 
 arms, accoutrements, dress, &c., in the best order, and that such as 
 have permission to pass the chain of sentinels are in the dress that 
 may be ordered. 
 
 97. . . . Commanders of companies and squads will see that the arms 
 and accoutrements in possession of the men are always kept in good 
 order, and that proper care be taken in cleaning them. 
 
 98. . . .When belts are given to a soldier, the captain will see that 
 they are properly fitted to the body ; and it is forbidden to cut any 
 belt without his sanction. 
 
 99 Cartridge-boxes and bayonet-scabbards will be polished with 
 
 blacking ; varnish is injurious to the leather, and will not be used. 
 
 100. . . .All arms in the hands of the troops, whether browned or 
 bright, will be kept in the state in which they are issued by the Ord- 
 nance Department. Arms will not be taken to pieces without pennis-

 sion of a commissioned officer. Bright barrels will be kept clean and 
 free from rust without polishing them ; care should be taken in rub- 
 bing not to bruise or bend the barrel. After firing, wash out the bore ; 
 wipe it dry, and then pass a bit of cloth, slightly greased, to the bot- 
 tom. In these operations, a rod of wood with a loop in one end is to 
 be used instead of the rammer. The barrel, when not in use, will be 
 closed with a stopper. For exercise, each soldier should keep him- 
 self provided with a piece of sole leather to fit the cup or countersink 
 of the hammer. 
 
 (For care of arms in service, see Ordnance Manual, page 185, &c.) 
 
 101 Arms shall not be left loaded in quarters or tents, or when 
 
 the men are off duty, except by special orders. 
 
 102 Ammunition issued will be inspected frequently. Each 
 
 man will be made to pay for the rounds expended without orders, 
 or not in the way of duty, or which may be damaged or lost by his 
 neglect. 
 
 103 .... Ammunition will be frequently exposed to the dry air, or 
 sunned. 
 
 104 .... Special care shall be taken to ascertain that no ball-car- 
 tridges are mixed with the blank cartridges issued to the men. 
 
 105 .... All knapsacks are to be painted black. Those for the artil- 
 lery will be marked in the centre of the cover with the number of the 
 regiment only, in figures of one inch and a half in length, of the char- 
 acter called full face, with yellow paint. Those for the infantry will 
 be marked in the same way, in white paint. Those for the ordnance- 
 will be marked with two cannon, crossing ; the cannon to be seven 
 and a half inches in length, in yellow paint, to resemble those on the 
 cap. The knapsack straps will be black. 
 
 106... The knapsacks will also be marked upon the inner side 
 with the letter of the company and the number of the soldier, on 
 such part as may be readily observed at inspections. 
 
 107 .... Haversacks will be marked upon the flap with the number 
 and name of the regiment, the letter of the company, and number of 
 the soldier, in black letters and figures. And each soldier must, at 
 all times, be provided with a haversack and canteen, and will exhibit 
 them at all inspections. It will be worn on the left side on marches, 
 guard, and when paraded for detached service^the canteen outside 
 the haversack. 
 
 108 The front of the drums will be painted with the arms of 
 
 the United States, on a blue field for the infantry, and on a red field 
 for the artillery. The letter of the company and number of the regi-

Soldiers^ Mess. 15 
 
 109 .... Officers at their stations, in camp or in garrison, will al- 
 ways wear their proper uniform. 
 
 110. . . .Soldiers will wear the prescribed uniform in camp or gar- 
 rison, and will not be permitted to keep in their possession any other 
 clothing. "When on fatigue parties, they will wear the proper fatigue 
 dress. 
 
 111.... In camp or barracks, the company officers must visit the 
 kitchen daily and inspect the kettles, and at all times carefully at- 
 tend to the messing and economy of their respective companies. The 
 commanding officer of the post or regiment will make frequent in- 
 spections of the kitchens and messes. 
 
 112 The bread must be thoroughly baked, and not eaten un- 
 til it is cold. The soup must be boiled at least five hours, and 
 the vegetables always cooked sufficiently to be perfectly soft and 
 digestible. 
 
 113. ...Messes will be prepared by privates of squads, including 
 private musicians, each taking his tour. The greatest care will be 
 observed in washing and scouring the cooking utensils ; those made 
 of brass and copper should be lined with tin. 
 
 114. . . .The messes of prisoners will be sent to them by the cooks. 
 
 115. - . .No persons will be allowed to visit or remain in the kitch- 
 ens, except such as may come on duty, or be occupied as cooks. 
 
 116 Those detailed for duty in the kitchens will also be re- 
 quired to keep the furniture of the mess-room in order. 
 
 • 117. . . .On marches and in the field, the only mess furniture of 
 the soldier will be one tin plate, one tin cup, one knife, fork, and 
 spoon, to each man, to be carried by himself on the march. 
 
 118. . . .If a soldier be required to assist his first sergeant in the 
 writing of the company, to excuse him from a tour of military duty, 
 the captain will previously obtain the sanction of his own command- 
 er, if he have one present ; and whether there be a superior present 
 or not, the captain will be responsible that the man so employed 
 does not miss two successive tours of guard-duty by reason of such 
 employment. 
 
 119. .. .Tradesmen may be relieved from ordinary military duty 
 to make, to alter, or to mend soldiers' clothing, &c. Company com- 
 manders will fix the rates at which work shall be done, and cause the 
 men, for whose benefit it is done, to pay for it at the next pay day. 
 
 120. . . .Each company officer, serving with his company, may take 
 from it one soldier as waiter, with his consent and the consent of his 
 
1 6 Employment of Soldiers as Clerks^ ^c, 
 
 captain. No other officer shall take a soldier as a waiter. Every 
 soldier so employed shall be so reported and mustered. 
 
 121 .... Soldiers taken as officers' waiters shall be acquainted 
 with their military duty, and at all times be completely armed and 
 clothed, and in every respect equipped according to the rules of the 
 service, and have all their necessaries complete and in good order. 
 They are to fall in with their respective companies at all reviews and 
 inspections, and are liable to such drills as the commanding officer 
 shall judge necessary to fit them for service in the ranks. 
 
 122 .... Non-commissioned officers will, in no case, be permitted to 
 act as waiters ; nor are they, or private soldiers, not waiters, to be 
 employed in any menial office, or made to perform any ser\'ice not 
 military, for the private benefit of any officer or mess of officers. 
 
 COMPANY BOOKS. 
 
 123.... The following books are allowed to each company: one 
 descriptive book, one clothing book, one order book, one morning re- 
 port book, each one quire, sixteen inches by ten. One page of the 
 descriptive book will be appropriated to the list of officers ; two to tlue 
 non-commissioned officers ; two to the register of men transferred ; 
 four to register of men discharged ; two to register of deaths ; four 
 to register of deserters — the rest to the company description list. 
 
 LAUNDRESS. 
 
 124 .... Four women will be allowed to each company as washer- 
 women, and will receive one ration per day each. 
 
 125. . . .The price of washing soldiers' clothing, by the month, or 
 by the piece, will be determined by the Council of Administration. 
 
 126... Debts due the laundress by soldiers, for washing, will 
 be paid, or collected at the pay-table, under the direction of the 
 captain.

 ORDNANCE SERGEANTS. 
 
 127. . . .The Secretary of War selects from the sergeants of the 
 line of the army, who may have faithfully served eight years (four 
 years in the grade of non-commissioned officer), as many Ordnance 
 Sergeants as the service may require, not exceeding one to each mil- 
 itary post. 
 
 128 .... Captains will report to their colonels such sergeants as, by 
 their conduct and service, merit such appointment, setting forth the 
 description, length of serv^ice of the sergeant, the portion of his serv-

 isfaction of the commanding officer. If the commanding officer, 
 however, shall not think proper to re-enlist the Ordnance Sergeant of 
 his post, he will not discharge him at the expiration of his service, 
 unless it shall be the wish of the sergeant, but will communicate to 
 the Adjutant-General his reasons for declining to re-enlist him, to be 
 submitted to the War Department. 
 
18 Ordnance Sergeants, 
 
 132 .... The officers interested must be aware, from the nature of 
 the duties assigned to Ordnance Sergeants, that the judicious selec- 
 tion of them is of no small importance to the interests of the service ; 
 and that while the law contemplates, in the appointment of these 
 non-commissioned officers, the better preservation of the ordnance 
 and ordnance stores in deposit in the several forts, there is the fur- 
 ther motive of offiiring a reward to those faithful and well-tried ser- 
 geants who have long served their country, and of thus giving encour- 
 agement to the soldier in the ranks to emulate them in conduct, and 
 thereby secure substantial promotion. Colonels and Captains can 
 not, therefore, be too particular in investigating the characters of the 
 candidates, and in giving their testimony as to their merits. 
 
 133 .... The appointment and removal of Ordnance Sergeants, sta- 
 tioned at military posts, in pursuance of the above provisions of law, 
 shall be reported by the Adjutant-General to the chief of the Ord- 
 nance Department. 
 
 134.... When a non-commissioned officer receives the appoint- 
 ment of Ordnance Sergeant, he shall be dropped from the rolls of the 
 regiment or company in which he may be serving at the time. 
 
 135. . . .The duty of Ordnance Sergeants relates to the care of the 
 ordnance, arms, ammunition, and other military stores at the post to 
 which they may be attached, under the direction of the command- 
 ing officer, and according to the regulations of the Ordnance Depart- 
 ment. 
 
 136 If a post be evacuated, the Ordnance Sergeant shall remain 
 
 on duty at the station, under the direction of the chief of the Ord- 
 nance Department, in charge of the ordnance and ordnance stores, 
 and of such other public property as is not in charge of some officer 
 or agent of other departments ; for which ordnance stores and other 
 property he will account to the chiefs of the proper departments un- 
 til otherwise directed. 
 
 137 An Ordnance Sergeant in charge of ordnance stores at a 
 
 post where there is no commissioned officer shall be held responsible 
 for the safe-keeping of the property, and he shall be governed by the 
 regulations of the Ordnance Department in making issues of the 
 same, and in preparing and furnishing the requisite returns. If the 
 means at his disposal are not sufficient for the preserv^ation of the 
 property, he shall report the circumstances to the chief of the Ord- 
 nance Department. 
 
 138 .... Ordnance Sergeants are to be considered as belonging to 
 the non-commissioned staff of the post, under the orders of the com- 
 manding officer. They are to wear the uniform of the Ordnance De- 
 
Ordnance Sergeants .... Transfers. 19 
 
 partment, with the distinctive badges prescribed for the non-commis- 
 sioned staff of regiments of artillery ; and they are to appear under 
 arms with the troops at all reviews and inspections, monthly and 
 weekly. 
 
 139. . . .When serving at any post which may be the head-quarters 
 of a regiment, Ordnance Sergeants shall be reported by name on the 
 post returns, and mustered with the non-commissioned staff of the 
 regiment; and at all other posts they shall be mustered and reported 
 in some company stationed at the post at which they serve ; be paid 
 on the muster-roll, and be charged with the clothing and all other 
 supplies previously received from any officer, or subsequently issued 
 to them by the commanding officer of the company for the time be- 
 ing. Whenever the company may be ordered from the post, the Ord- 
 nance Sergeant will be transferred to the rolls of any remaining com- 
 pany, by the order of the commanding officer of the post. 
 
 140 In the event of the troops being all withdrawn from a post 
 
 at which there is an Ordnance Sergeant, he shall be furnished with 
 his descriptive roll and account of clothing and pay, signed by the 
 proper officer last in command, accompanied by the remarks neces- 
 sary for his military history; and on his exhibiting such papers to 
 any Paymaster, with a letter from the Ordnance Office acknowledg- 
 ing the receipt of his returns, and that they are satisfactory, he will 
 be paid on a separate account the amount which may be due him at 
 the date of the receipt of the returns mentioned in such letter, to- 
 gether with commutation of rations, according to the regulations of 
 the Subsistence Department. A certified statement of his pay ac- 
 count will be furnished the Ordnance Sergeant by the Paymaster by 
 whom he may be last paid. When there are no troops at the post, 
 the Ordnance Sergeant will report to the Adjutant-General's office, 
 by letter, on the last day of every month.

 INSPECTIONS OF THE TROOPS. 
 
 293. . . .The inspection of troops, as a division, regiment, or other 
 body composing a garrison or commo-nd, not less than a company, 
 will generally be preceded by a review. 
 
 294 There will be certain periodical inspections, to wit ; 
 
 1. Tlie commanders of regiments and posts will make an inspec- 
 tion of their commands on the last day of every month.

 leaning on the great-coats. In this position the Inspector will exam- 
 ine their contents, or so many of them as he may think necessary, 
 commencing'with the non-commissioned oflScers, the men standing at 
 attention.

 staff will next accompany the Inspector to the hospital, magazine, ar- 
 senal, quarters, sutler's shop, guard-house, and such other places as he 
 may think proper to inspect. The Captains and subalterns repair to 
 their companies and sections to await the Inspector. 
 
 311. . . .The hospital being at all times an object of particular in- 
 terest, it will be critically and minutely inspected. 
 
 312 .... The men will be formed in the company quarters in front

 counts of the administrative and disbursing officers of the command, 
 and the money and property in their keeping.

 each man, as his name is called, will distinctly answer. Here! and 
 bring his piece to a carry and to an order. 
 
 321 After each company is mustered, the Captain will order it 
 
 to be marched to the company parade, and there dismissed to quar- 
 ters to await the Inspector's visit. 
 
 322 .... After mustering the companies, the mustering officer, at- 
 tended by the company commanders, will visit the guard and hospi- 
 tal, to verify the presence of the men reported there. 
 
 323 The muster and pay rolls will be made on the printed 
 
 forms furnished from the Adjutant-General's office, and according to 
 the directions given on them. On the muster-rolls companies are 
 designated by the name of the Captain, whether present or absent. 
 The pay-roll is left blank, to be filled by the Paymaster. 
 
 324 .... One copy of each muster-roll will be transmitted by the 
 mustering officer to the Adjutant^General's office in the War Depart- 
 ment within three days after the muster. 
 
 ARTICLE XXXII. 
 
 FORMS OF PARADE. 
 
 325 On all parades of ceremony, such as Reviews, Guard-mount- 
 ing, at Troop or Retreat parades, instead of the word ^^Eestj" which 
 allows the men to move or change the position of their bodies, the • 
 command will be "Parade — Rest!" At the last word of this com- 
 mand, the soldier will carry the right foot six inches in rear of the 
 left heel, the left knee slightly bent, the body upright upon the right 
 leg ; the muskei resting against the hollow of the right shoulder, the 
 hands crossed in front, the backs of them outward, and the left hand 
 uppermost. At the word " Attention !" the soldier will resume the 
 correct position at ordered arms. In the positions here indicated, the 
 soldier will remain silent and motionless ; and it is particularly en- 
 joined upon all officers to cause the commands above given, on the 
 part of the soldier, to be executed with great briskness and spirit. 
 
 326 .... Officers on all duties under arms are to have their swords 
 drawn, without waiting for any words of command for that purpose. 
 
42 Dress Parade, 
 
 I. DRESS PARADE. 
 
 327. . . .There shall be daily one dress parade, at troop or retreat, as 
 the commaDdiiig officer may direct. 
 
 328 .... A signal will be beat or sounded half an hour before troop 
 or retreat, for the music to assemble on the regimental parade, and 
 each company to turn out under arms on its own parade, for roll-call 
 and inspection by its own officers. 
 
 329. . . .Ten minutes after that signal, the Adjutants call will be 
 given, when the Captains will march their companies (the band play- 
 ing) to the regimental parade, where they take their positions in the 
 order of battle. When the line is formed, the Captain of the first 
 company, on notice from the Adjutant, steps one pace to the front, 
 and gives to his company the command, *' Order — Arms ! Parade — 
 Rest!" which is repeated by each Captain in succession to the left. 
 The Adjutant takes post two paces on the right of the line ; the Ser- 
 geant-major two paces on the left. The music will be formed in two 
 ranks on the right of the Adjutant. The senior officer present will 
 take the command of the parade, and will take post at a suitable dis- 
 tance in front, opposite the centre, facing the line. 
 
 330. . . .When the companies have ordered arms, the Adjutant will 
 order the music to heat off, when it will commence on the right, beat 
 in front of the line to the left, and back to its place on the right. 
 
 331. . . .When the music has ceased, the Adjutant will step two 
 paces to the front, face to the left, and command, 
 
 1. Attention! 2. Battalion, 3. Shoulder — Arms! 4. Prepare to open 
 ranks! 5. To the rear, open order! 6. March. 
 
 At the sixth command, the ranks will be opened according to the sys- 
 tem laid down in the Infantry Tactics, the commissioned officers 
 marching to the front, the company officers four paces, field officers 
 six paces, opposite to their positions in the order of battle, where they 
 will halt and dress. The Adjutant, seeing the ranks aligned, will 
 command, 
 
 Front ! 
 
 and march along the front to the centre, face to the right, and pass 
 the line of company officers eight or ten paces, where he will come to 
 the right-about, and command. 
 
 Present — Arms ! 
 
 wifeien amis will be presented, officers saluting. 
 
Dress Parade, 43 
 
 332 .... Seeing this executed, he will face about to the command- 
 ing officer, salute, and report, ''''Sir, the parade is formed.^'' The Adju- 
 tant will then, on intimation to that effect, take his station three 
 paces on the left of the commanding officer, one pace retired, passing 
 round his rear. 
 
 333 The commanding officer, having acknowledged the salute 
 
 of the line by touching his hat, will, after the Adjutant has taken his 
 post, draw his sword, and command, 
 
 1. Battalion. 2. Shoulder — Akms ! 
 
 and add such exercises as he may think proper, concluding with 
 
 Order — Arms ! 
 
 then return his sword, and direct the Adjutant to receive the reports. 
 334. . . .The Adjutant will now pass round the right of the com- 
 manding officer, advance upon the line, halt midway between him 
 and the line of company officers, and command, 
 
 "[. First Sergeants, to the front and centre. 2. March! 
 
 At the first command, they will shoulder arms as Sergeants, march 
 two paces to the front, and face inward. At the second command, 
 they will march to the centre, and halt. The Adjutant will then 
 order, 
 
 1. Front — Face. 2. Report. 
 
 At the last word, each in succession, beginning on the right, will sa- 
 lute by bringing the left hand smartly across the breast to the right 
 shoulder, and report the result of the roll-call previously made on the 
 company parade. 
 
 335. . . .The Adjutant again commands, 
 
 1. First Sergeants, outward — Face ! 2. To your posts — March! 
 
 when they will resume their places, and order arms. The Adjutant 
 will now face to the commanding officer, salute, report absent of- 
 ficers, and give the result of the First Sergeants' reports. The com- 
 manding officer will next direct the orders to be read, when the Ad- 
 jutant will face about and announce, 
 
44 Dress Parade .... Beview. 
 
 Attention to Girders. 
 
 He will then read the orders. 
 
 336. , . .The orders having been read, the Adjutant will face to the 
 commanding officer, salute, and report ; when, on an intimation from 
 the commander, he will face again to the line, and announce, 
 
 Parade is dismissed. 
 
 All the officers will now return their swords, face inward, and close 
 on the Adjutant, he having taken position in their line, the field of- 
 ficers on the flanks. The Adjutant commands, 
 
 1. Front — ^Face ! 2. Forivard — March ! 
 
 when they will march forward, dressing on the centre, the music 
 playing, and when within six paces of the commander, the Adjutant 
 will give the word, 
 
 Halt! 
 
 The officers will then salute the commanding ofiScer by raising the 
 hand to the cap, and there remain until he shall liave communicated 
 to them such instructions as he may have to give, or intimates that 
 the ceremony is finished. As the officers disperse, the First Sergeants 
 will close the ranks of their respective companies, and march them to 
 the company parades, where they will be dismissed, the band contin- 
 uing to play until the companies clear the regimental parade. 
 
 337. . . .All field and company officers and men will be present at 
 dress parades, unless especially excused, or on some duty incompati- 
 ble with such attendance. 
 
 338. . . .A dress parade once a day will not be dispensed with, ex- 
 cept on extraordinary and urgent occasions. 
 
 II. REVIEW^ OF A BATTALION OF INFANTRY. 
 
 339 .... Preparatory to a ^view, the Adjutant will cause a camp- 
 color to be placed 80 or 100 paces, or more, according to the length 
 of the line, in front of, and opposite to, where the centre of the bat- 
 talion will rest, where the reviewing officer is supposed to take his 
 station ; and, although he may choose to quit that position, still the 
 color is to be consideried as the point to which all the movements and 
 foi*mations are relative. 
 
 340. . . .The Adjutant will also cause points to be marked, at suit' 
 
Review. 45 
 
 able distances, for the wheelings of the divisions ; so that their right 
 flanks, in marching past, shall only be about four paces from the 
 camp-color, where it is supposed the reviewing olficer places himself 
 to receive the salute. 
 
 341. . . .The battalion being formed in the order of battle, at shoul- 
 dered arms, the Colonel will command, 
 
 1. Battalion, prepare for review ! 2. To the rear, open order. 3. March ! 
 
 At the word March, the field and staff officers dismount ; the com- 
 pany officers and the color-rank advance four paces in front of the 
 front rank, and place themselves opposite to their respective places, 
 in the order of battle. The color-guard replace the color-rank. The 
 staff officers place themselves, according to rank, three paces on the 
 right of the rank of company officers, and one pace from each other ; 
 the music takes post as at parade. The non-commissioned staff take 
 post one pace from each other, and three paces, on the right of the 
 front rank of the battalion. 
 342 When the ranks are aligned, the Colonel will command, 
 
 Front! 
 
 and place himself eight paces, and the Lieutenant-Colonel and Major 
 will place themselves two paces, in front of the rank of company offi- 
 cers, and opposite to their respective places in the order of battle, 
 all facing to the front. 
 
 343 .... When the reviewing officer presents himself before the cen- 
 tre, and is fifty or sixty paces distant, the Colonel will face about, and 
 command, 
 
 Present — ^Arms ! 
 
 and resume his front. The men present arms, and the officers salute, 
 so as to drop their swords with the last motion of the firelock. The 
 non-commissioned staff salute by bringing the sword to 2i poise, the hilt 
 resting on the breast, the blade in front of the face, inclining a little 
 outward. The music will play, and all the drums beat, according to 
 the rank of the reviewing officer. The colors only salute such per- 
 sons as, from their rank, and by regulation (see Article XXIX.), are 
 entitled to that honor. If the reviewing officer be junior in rank to 
 the commandant of the parade, no compliment will be paid to him, 
 but he will be received with arms carried, a^d the officers will not 
 salute as the column passes in review. 
 
 344, . . .The reviewing officer having halted, and acknowledged the 
 
46 Review, 
 
 salute of the line by touching or raising his cap or hat, the Colonel 
 will face about and command, 
 
 Shoulder — Arms ! 
 
 when the men shoulder their pieces ; the officers and noti-commis- 
 sioned staff recover their swords with the last motion, and the Colonel 
 faces to the front. 
 
 345.... The reviewing officer will then go toward the right, the 
 whole remaining perfectly steady, without paying any further compli- 
 ment, while he passes along the front of the battalion, and proceeds 
 round the left flank, and along the rear of the file-closers, to the right. 
 While the reviewing officer is going round the battalion, the band will 
 play, and will cease when he has returned to the right flank of the 
 troops. 
 
 346. . . .When the reviewing officer turns off, to place himself by the 
 camp-color in front, the Colonel will face to the line and command, 
 
 i. Close Order. 2. March! 
 
 At the first command, the field and company officers will face to 
 the right-about, and at the second command, all persons, except the 
 Colonel, will resume their places in the order of battle ; the field and 
 staff' officers mount. 
 
 347. ...The reviewing officer having taken his position near the 
 camp-color, the Colonel will command, 
 
 1. By company, right wheel. 2. Quick — March! 3. Pass in review. 
 4. Column, forward. 5. Guide right. 6. March ! 
 
 The battalion, in column of companies, right in front, will then, in 
 common time, and at shouldered arms, be put in motion ; the Colonel 
 four paces in front of the Captain of the leading company; the Lieu- 
 tenant-Colonel on a line with the leading company; the Major on a 
 line with the rear company; the Adjutant on a line with the second 
 company; the Sergeant-Major on a line with the company next pre- 
 ceding the rear — each six paces from the flank (left) opposite to the 
 reviewing officer ; the staff officers in one rank, according to the order 
 of precedency, from the right, four paces in rear of the column ; the 
 music, preceded by the principal musician, six paces before the Col- 
 onel ; the pioneers, preceded by a Corporal, four paces before the 
 principal musician ; and the Quartermaster-Sergeant two paces from 
 the side opposite to the guides, and in line with the pioneers. 
 
Beview. 47 
 
 348. . . .All other officers and non-commissioned officers will march 
 past in the places prescribed for them in the march of an open col- 
 umn. The guides and soldiers will keep their heads steady to the 
 front in passing in review. 
 
 349 .... The color-bearer will remain in the ranks while passing 
 and saluting. 
 
 350. ...The music will begin to play at the command to march, 
 and after passing the reviewing officer, wheel to the left out of the 
 column, and take a position opposite and facing him, and will con- 
 tinue to play until the rear of the column shall have passed him, 
 when it will cease, and follow in the rear of the battalion, unless the 
 battalion is to pass in quick time also, in which case it will keep its 
 position. 
 
 351 -...The officers will salute the reviewing officer when they 
 arrive within six paces of him, and recover their swords when six 
 paces past him. All officers, in saluting, will cast their eyes toward 
 the reviewing officer. 
 
 352 .... The Colonel, when he has saluted at the head of the bat- 
 talion, will place himself near the reviewing officer, and will remain 
 there until the rear has passed, when he will rejoin the battalion. 
 
 353. . . .The colors will salute the reviewing officer, if entitled to it, 
 when within six paces of him, and be raised when they have passed 
 by him an equal distance, ^he drums will beat a march, or ruffle, 
 according to the rank of the reviewing officer, at the same time that 
 the colors salute. 
 
 354.... When the column has passed the reviewing officer, the 
 Colonel will direct it to the ground it marched from, and command, 
 
 Guide left, 
 
 in time for the guides to cover. The column having arrived on its 
 ground, the Colonel will command, 
 
 1. Column, 2. Halt! 
 
 form it in order of battle, and cause the ranks to be opened as in par- 
 agraph 341. The review will terminate by the whole saluting as at 
 the beginning. 
 
 355 .... If, however, instructions have been previously given to 
 march the troops past in quick time also, the Colonel will, instead of 
 changing the guides, halting the column, and wheeling it into line, 
 as above directed, give the command, 
 
 1. Quick time. 2. March ! 
 
48 Beview, 
 
 In passing the reviewing officer again, no salute will be oftered by 
 either officers or men. The music will have kept its position oppo- 
 site the reviewing officer, and at the last command will commence 
 playing, and as the column approaches, will place itself in front of, 
 and march oiF with the column, and continue to play until the battal- 
 ion is halted on its original ground of formation. The Review will 
 terminate in the same manner as prescribed above. 
 
 356.... The Colonel w^ill afterward cause the troops to perform 
 such exercises and manoeuvres as the reviewing officer may direct. 
 
 357. . . .When two or more battalions are to be reviewed, they will 
 be formed in parade order, with the proper intervals, and will also 
 perform the same movements that are laid down for a single battal- 
 ion, observing the additional directions that are given for such move- 
 ments when applied to the line. The Brigadier- General and his 
 staif, on ' foot, will place themselves opposite the centre of the brig- 
 ade ; the Brigadier-General two paces in front of the rank of Colo- 
 nels ; his aid two paces on his right, and one retired ; and the other 
 brigade staff officers, those having the rank of field officers, in the 
 rank of Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors ; and those below that rank, 
 in the rank of company officers. 
 
 358 .... In passing in review, a Major-General will b6 four paces 
 in front of the Colonel of the leading battalion of his division ; and 
 the Brigadier-General Avill be on the ^*ight of the Colonels of the 
 leading battalions of their brigades ; staff officers on the left of their 
 Generals. 
 
 359. . . .\Alien the line exceeds two battalions, the reviewing offi- 
 cer may cause them to march past in quick time only. In such 
 cases the mounted officers only will salute. 
 
 360 .... A number of companies less than a battalion will be re- 
 viewed as a battalion, and a single company as if it were with the 
 battalion. In the latter case, the company may pass in column of 
 platoons. 
 
 361 If several brigades are to be reviewed together, or in one 
 
 line, this further difference will be observed : the reviewing person- 
 age, joined by the General of the division, on the right of his divis- 
 ion, will proceed down the line, parallel to its front, and when near 
 the Brigadier-Generals respectively, will be saluted by their brigades 
 in succession. The music of each, after the prescribed . salute, will 
 play while the reviewing personage is in front, or in rear of it, and 
 only then. 
 
 362 In marching in review, with several battalions in common 
 
 time, the music of each succeeding battalion will commence to play 
 
Guard-mounting. 49 
 
 when the music of the preceding one has ceased, in order to follow 
 its battalion. When marching in quick time, the music will begin to 
 play when the rear company of the preceding battalion has passed 
 the reviewing officer. 
 
 363.... The reviewing officer or personage will acknowledge the 
 salute by raising, br taking off, his cap or hat, when the commander 
 of the troops salutes him ; and also when the colors pass. The re- 
 mainder of the time occupied by the passage of the troops he will be 
 covered. 
 
 364 The review of Cavalry and Artillery will be conducted on 
 
 similar principles, and according to the systems of instruction for 
 those arms of service. • 
 
 III. GUAKD-MOUNTING. 
 
 365 .... Camp and garrison guards will be relieved every twenty- 
 four hours. The guards at outposts will ordinarily be relieved in the 
 same manner, but this must depend on their distances from camp, or 
 other oircumstances, which may sometimes require their continuing 
 on duty several days. In such cases, they must be previously warn- 
 ed to provide themselves accordingly. 
 
 366 At the first call for guard-mounting, the men warned for 
 
 duty turn out on their company parades for inspection by the First 
 Sergeants ; and at the second call, repair to the regimental or garri- 
 son parade, conducted by the First Sergeants. Each detachment, as 
 it arrives, will, under the direction of the Adjutant, take post on the 
 left of the one that preceded it, in open order, arms shouldered, and 
 bayonets fixed ; the supernumeraries five paces in the rear of the men 
 of their respective companies ; the First Sergeants in rear of them. 
 The Sergeant-Major will dress the ranks, count the files, verify the 
 details, and when the guard is formed, report to the Adjutant, and 
 take post two paces on the left of the front rank. 
 
 367 The Adjutant then commands Front, when the officer of 
 
 the guard takes post twelve paces in front of the centre, the Sergeants 
 in one rank, four paces in the rear of the officers ; and the Corporals 
 in one rank, four paces in the rear of the Sergeants — all facing to the 
 front. The Adjutant then assigns their places in the guard. 
 368 The Adjutant will then command, 
 
 1. Officer and non-commissioned officers. 2. About — Fac^. 
 3. Inspect your guards — Maecii ! 
 
 The non-commissioned officers then take their posts. The command- 
 er of the guard then commands, 
 
 C 
 
50 Guard-mounting. 
 
 1. Order — Arms. 2. Inspection — Arms. 
 
 and inspects his guard. "When there is no commissioned officer on 
 the guard, the Adjutant will inspect it. During inspection the band 
 will play. 
 
 369 . . . .The inspection ended, the officer of the guard takes post as 
 though the guard were a company of a battalion, in open order, under 
 review ; at the same time, also, the officers of the day will take post 
 in front of the centre of the guard ; the old officer of the day three 
 paces on the right of the new officer of the day, one pace retired. 
 
 370. . . .The Adjutant will now command, 
 
 1. Pamc/e— Rest ! 2. Troop— Beat off! 
 
 when the music, beginning on the right, will beat down the line in 
 front of the officer of the guard to the left, and back to its place on 
 the right, where it will cease to play. 
 371 The Adjutant then commands, 
 
 1. Attention! 2. Shoulder — Arms! 3. Close order — March! 
 
 At the word ''close order," the officer will face about; at ''march," 
 resume his post in line. The Adjutant then commands, 
 
 Present — Arms ! 
 
 At which he will face to the new officer of the day, salute and report, 
 "/SiV, the guard is formed.''^ The new officer of the day, after acknowl- 
 edging the salute, will direct the Adjutant to march the guard in re- 
 view, or by flank to its post. But if the Adjutant be senior to the 
 officer of the day, he will report without saluting with the sword then, 
 or when marching the guard in re\'icw. 
 
 372. . . .In review, the guard march past the officer of the day, ac- 
 cording to the order of review, conducted by the Adjutant, marching 
 on the left of the first division ; the Sergeant-Major on the left of the 
 last division. 
 
 373 When the column has passed the officer of the day, the of- 
 ficer of the guard marches it to its post, the Adjutant and Sergeant- 
 Major retiring. The music, which has wheeled out of the column, 
 and taken post opposite the officer of the day, will cease, and the old 
 officer of the day salute, and give the old or standing orders to the 
 new officer of the day. The supernumeraries, at the same time, will 
 
Guard-mounting, 51 
 
 be marched by the First Sergeants to their respective company pa- 
 rades, and dismissed. 
 
 374:. . . .In bad weather, or at night, or after fatiguing marches, the 
 ceremony of turning off may be dispensed with, but not the inspec- 
 tion. 
 
 375.... Grand guards, and other brigade guards, are organized 
 and mounted on the brigade parade by the staff officer of the parade, 
 under the direction of the field officer of the day of the brigade, ac- 
 cording to the principles here prescribed for the police guard of a 
 regiment. The detail of each regiment is assembled on the regi- 
 mental parade, verified by the Adjutant, and marched to the brigade 
 parade by the senior officer of the detail. After inspection and re- 
 view, the officer of the day directs the several guards to their re- 
 spective posts. 
 
 376 The officer of the old guard, having his guard paraded, on 
 
 the approach of the new guard commands, 
 
 Present — Arms ! 
 
 377.... The new guard will march, in quick time, past the old 
 guard, at shouldered armsj officers saluting, and take post four paces 
 on its right, where, being aligned with it, its commander will order, 
 
 Present — Arms ! 
 
 The two officers will then approach each other, and salute. They 
 will then return to their respective guards, and command, 
 
 1. Shoidder — Arms! 2. Order — Arms! 
 
 378 .... The officer of the new guard will now direct the detail for 
 the advanced guard to be foraied and marched to its post, the list of 
 the guard made and divided into three reliefs, experienced soldiers 
 placed over the arms of the guard and at the remote and responsible 
 posts, and the young soldiers in pos-ts near the guard for instruction 
 in their duties, and will himself proceed to take possession of the 
 guard-house or guard-tent, and the articles and prisoners in charge 
 of the guard. 
 
 379 During the time of relieving the sentinels and of calling 
 
 in the small posts, the old commander will give to the new all the in- 
 formation and instructions relating to his post. 
 
 380 The first relief having been designated and ordered two 
 
52 Cruard-mounting. 
 
 paces to the front, the Corporal of the new guard will take charge of 
 it, and go to relieve the sentinels, accompanied by the Corporal of 
 the old guard, who will take command of the old sentinels, when the 
 whole are relieved. 
 
 381. . . .If the sentinels are numerous, the Sergeants are to be em- 
 ployed, as well as the Corporals, in relieving them. 
 
 382 .... The relief, with arms at a su])port, in two ranks, will 
 inarch by a flank, conducted by the Corporal on the side of the lead- 
 ing front-rank man ; and the men will be numbered alternately in 
 the front and rear rank, the man on the right of the front rank 
 being No. 1. Should an officer approach, the Corporal will com- 
 mand carry arms, and resume the support arms when the officer is 
 passed. 
 
 383. . . .The sentinels at the guard-house or guard-tent -will be the 
 first relieved and left behind ; the others are relieved in succession. 
 
 384 .... When a sentinel sees the relief approaching, he will halt 
 and face to it, with his arms at a shoulder. At six paces, the Cor- 
 poral will command, 
 
 1. Relief. 2. Halt! 
 
 when the relief will halt and carry arms. The Corporal will then 
 add, *'No. 1," or "No. 2," or "No. 3," according to the number of 
 the post, 
 
 Amns — Port ! 
 
 The two sentinels will, with arms at port, then approach each other, 
 when the old sentinel, under the correction of the Corporal, will 
 whisper the instructions to the new sentinel. This done, the two 
 sentinels will shoulder arms, and the old sentinel will pass, in quick 
 time, to his place in rear of the relief. The Corporal will then com- 
 mandj 
 
 1. Support — Arms! 2. Foricai-d. 3. March! 
 
 and the relief proceeds in the same manner until the whole are re- 
 lieved. 
 
 385 . . . The detachments and sentinels from the old guard having 
 come in, it will be marched, at shouldered arvis, along the front of the 
 new guard, in quick time, the new guard standing at presented arms ; 
 officers saluting, and the music of both guards beating, except at the 
 outposts. 
 
Gvards, 53 
 
 386 .... On arriving at the regimental or garrison parade, the com- 
 mander of the old guard will send the detachments composing it, un- 
 der charge of the non-commissioned officers, to their respective regi- 
 ments. Before the men arc dismissed, their pieces will be drawn or 
 discharged at a target. On rejoining their companions, the chiefs of 
 squads will examine the arms, &c., of their men, and cause the 
 whole to be put away in good order. 
 
 387 When the old guard has marched off fifty paces, the of- 
 ficer of the new guard will order his men to stack their arms, or 
 place them in the arm-racks. 
 
 388 .... The commander of the guard will then make himself ac- 
 quainted with all the instructions for his post, visit the sentinels, and 
 question them and the non-commissioned officers relative to the in- 
 structions they may have received from other persons of the old guard.

 389 .... Sentinels will be relieved every two hours, unless the state 
 of the weather, or other causes, should make it necessary or proper 
 that it be done at shorter or longer intervals. 
 
 390 Each relief, before mounting, is inspected by the com- 
 mander of the guard or of its post. The Corporal reports to him, 
 and presents the old relief on its return. 
 
 391. . . .The countersign, or watchword, is given to such persons as

54 Officer of the Guard. . . .Sentinels, 
 
 sentinels, or on other duty, are to mention their intention, and the 
 probable time of their absence, to the next in command.

 by bringing the left hand briskly to the musket, as high as the right 
 shoulder. 
 
 412. , . .The sentinel at any post of the guard, when he sees any 
 body of troops, or an officer entitled to compliment, approach, must 
 call—*' Turn out the guard!'' and announce who approaches. 
 
 413. .. .Guards do not turn out as a matter of compliment after 
 sunset; but sentinels will, when officers in uniform approach, pay them 
 l^roper attezition, by facing to the proper front, and standing steady at 
 shouldered artns. This will be observed until the evening is so far ad- 
 vanced that the sentinels begin challenging. 
 
 414. ...After retreat (or the hour appointed by the commanding 
 officer), until broad daylight, a sentinel challenges eveiy person who 
 approaches him, taking, at the same time, the position of arms port. 
 He will suffer no person to come nearer than within reach of his 
 bayonet, until the person has given the countersign. 
 
 4 15.... A sentinel, in challenging, will call out — " TF7?o comes 
 there f^ If answered — ^^ Friend, ivith the countersign,'' and he be in- 
 structed to pass persons with the countersign, he will reply — '' Ad- 
 vance, friend, with the countersign!" If answered — '■^ Friends T he 
 will reply — '-'' Halt, friends ! Advance one with the countersign .''* If an- 
 swered — '■''Relief,'' ^'-Patrol," or ^' Grand rouuds'' he will reply — 
 '''"Halt ! Advance, Sergeant (or Corporal), with the countersign!" and sat- 
 isfy himself that the party is what it represents itself to be. If he 
 have no authority to pass persons with the countersign, if the wrong 
 countersign be given, or if the persons have not the countersign, he 
 will cause them to stand, and call — '■^ Corporal of the guard !" 
 
 416. . . .In the daytime, when the sentinel before the guard sees the 
 officer of the day approach, he will call — " Turn out the guard! officer 
 of the day." The guard will be paraded, and salute with presented 
 arms. 
 
 417 "When any person approaches a post of the guard at night, 
 
 the sentinel before the post, after challenging, causes him to halt 
 until examined by a non-commissioned officer of the guard. If it be 
 the officer of the day, or any other officer entitled to inspect the guard 
 and to make the rounds, the non-commissioned offi.cer will call — 
 " Turn out the guard!" when the guard will be paraded at shouldered 
 arms, and the officer of the guard, if he thinks necessary, may de- 
 mand the countersign and parole. 
 
 418. . . .The officer of the day, wishing to make the rounds, will 
 take an escort of a non-commissioned officer and two men. "When 
 the rounds are challenged by a sentinel, the Sergeant will answer — 
 ** Grand rounds /" and the sentinel will reply — " Halt, grand rounds ! 
 
Orders and Correspondence. 57 
 
 Advance^ Sergeant^ with the countersign /'* Upon which the Sergeant 
 advances and gives the countersign. The sentinel will then cry — 
 "Advance, rounds /" and stand at a shoulder till they have passed. 
 
 419. . . .When the sentinel before the guard challenges, and is an- 
 swered — " Grand rounds,^^ he will reply — ''Halt, grand rounds! Turn 
 out the guard ; grand rounds /" Upon which the guard will be drawn 
 up at shouldered arms. The officer commanding the guard will 
 then order a Sergeant and two men to advance ; when within ten 
 paces, the Sergeant challenges. The Sergeant of the grand rounds 
 answers — ^^ Grand rounds T The Sergeant of the guard replies — 
 "Advance, Sergeant, with the countersign T The Sergeant of the 
 rouifds advances alone, gives the countersign, and returns to his 
 round. The Sergeant of the guard calls to his officer — " The coun- 
 tersign is right r on which the officer of the guard calls — " Advance , 
 rounds r The officer of the rounds then advances alone, the guard 
 standing at shouldered arms. The officer of the rounds passes along 
 the front of the guard to the officer, who keeps his post on the right, 
 and gives hira the parole. He then* examines the guard, orders back 
 his escort, and, taking a new one, proceeds in the same manner to 
 other guards. 
 
 420 .... All material instructions given to a sentinel on post by 
 persons entitled to make grand rounds, ought to be promptly notified 
 to the commander of the guard. 
 
 421 Any General officer, or the commander of a post or garri- 
 son, may visit the guards of his command, and go the grand rounds, 
 and be received in the same manner as prescribed for the officer of 
 the day. 
 
 AKTICLE XXXIV. 
 
 ORDERS AND CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 422 .... The orders of commanders of armies, divisions, brigades, 
 regiments, are denominated orders of such army, division, &c., and 
 are either general or special. Orders are numbered, general and 
 special, in separate series, each beginning with the year. 
 
 423. . , .General orders announce the time and place of issues and 
 payments j hours for roll-calls and duties ; the number and kind of 
 orderlies, and the time when they shall be relieved ; police regula- 
 tions, and the prohibitions required by circumstances and localities ;

58 Orders and Correspondence. 
 
 424: Special orders are such as do not concern the troops gener- 
 ally, and need not be published to the whole command ; such as re- 
 late to the march of some particular corps, the establishment of some 
 post, the detaching of individuals, the granting requests, &c., &c. 
 
 425 .... A general order, and an important special order, must be 
 read and approved by the officer whose order it is, before it is issued 
 by the staff officer. 
 
 426 .... An order will state at the head the source, place, and 
 date, and at the foot, the name of the commander who gives it ; as 
 for example :

 General Orders, |^ 
 
 No. . I 
 
 By command of Brigadier-General A. B. 
 
 C. D., Assistant Adjutant-General. 
 
 427 Orders may be put in the foiTn of letters, but generally in 
 
 the strict military form, through the office of the Adjutant or Adju- 
 tant-General of the command. 
 
 428 Orders are transmitted through all the intermediate com- 
 manders in the order of rank. When an intermediate commander is 
 omitted, the officer who gives the order shall inform him, and he who 
 receives it shall report it to his immediate superior. 
 
 429 Orders for any body of troops will be addressed to the 
 
 commander, and will be opened and executed by the commander 
 present, and published or distributed by him when necessary ; printed 
 orders, however, are generally distributed direct to posts from the 
 head-quarters where issued. 
 
 430. . . .Orders assigning the stations of officers of engineers, ord- 
 nance, and of the staff departments, except as provided in the regula- 
 tions for troops in the campaign, will be given by the Secretary of 
 War, through the Adjutant-General's office, or by commanders of 
 geographical departments, under the special authority of the War De- 
 partment. The commander of a department, who, in consequence of 
 the movement of troops or other necessity of the service, removes an 
 officer from the station assigned to him by the Secretary of War, 
 shall promptly report the case to the Adjutant-General. 
 
 431 A file of the printed orders will be kept with the head- 
 quarters of each regiment, with each company, and at each military 
 post, and will be regularly turned over by the commander, when re- 
 lieved, to his successor. 
 
Orders and Correspondence. 59 
 
 432.... If general orders are not received in regular succession, 
 commanding officers will report the missing numbers to the proper 
 head-quarters. 
 
 433 .... The orderly hours being fixed at each head-quarters, the 
 staiF officers and chiefs of the special services either attend in person, 
 or send their assistants to obtain the orders of the day ; and the first 
 sergeants of companies repair for that purpose to the regimental or 
 garrison head-quarters. 
 
 434 .... During marches and active operations, and when the regu- 
 lar orderly hours can not be observed, all orders will be either sent di- 
 rect to the troops, or the respective commanders of regiments or corps 
 will be informed when to send to head-quarters for them. Under the 
 same circumstances, orders will be read to the troops during a halt, 
 without waiting for the regular parades. 
 
 435 Orders to any officer to make a tour of travel on duty, as 
 
 for the inspection or payment of troops, &c., shall designate the troops 
 and posts he shall visit, and the order in which he shall visit them, 
 and the route of travel. 
 
 436 .... Every commander who gives an order involving an expend- 
 iture of public money, shall send a copy, without delay, to the bureau 
 of the War Department to which the expenditure appertains, and if 
 such commander be serving in a military department, he shall send a 
 copy of the order to the head-quarters of the Department. 
 
 437 .... If a military commander shall give to a disbursing officer 
 any order in conflict with orders received by him from the officer in 
 charge of his department, at any superior head-quarters, such com- 
 mander shall forthwith transmit the order to such head-quarters, 
 with explanation of the necessity which justifies it. 
 
 438 Copies of all orders of the commanders of armies, depart- 
 ments, divisions, and detached brigades, and of the Superintendent of 
 the recruiting service, will be forwarded at their dates, or as soon 
 thereafter as practicable, in separate series, on full sheets of letter pa- 
 per, or as printed, to the Adjutant-General's office. 
 
 439 .... Written communications from a commander to those under 
 his command may be made by his staff officer. In all other cases by 
 the officer himself. 
 
 440. . . .In signing an official communication, the writer shall annex 
 to his name his rank and corps. When he writes by order, he shall 
 state by whose order. 
 
 441. ,. .Communications to a commander from those under his 
 command are addressed to the proper officer of his staflT ; to the chief 
 of the Adjutant-General's Department, in what relates specially to his

 bureau, or to the service generally ; to the chief of any other depart- 
 ment of the staff, in what relates specially to his branch of the service. 
 Communications to the Secretary of War will be made through the 
 Adjutant-General's office of the War Department, unless it be a case 
 of claim, allowance, or other business specially appertaining to some, 
 other bureau ; for example — claims of pay will be transmitted through 
 the Paymaster -General; for mileage, or quarters, &c., through the 
 Quartermaster-General. All communications, except rolls and stated 
 returns, and accounts, are to be passed through the intermediate com- 
 manders. The same rule governs in verbal applications ; for exam- 
 ple — a Lieutenant seeking an indulgence must apply through his Cap- 
 tain. Communications from officers of the staff and administrative 
 services to their own chiefs do not pass through the military command- 
 ers under whom they serve, except estimates for funds or supplies. 
 
 442 .... Copies of all important communications from the bureaus 
 of the War Department to disbursing officers, relating to the service in 
 a military- department, shall be sent from the bureau to the depart- 
 ment commander. 
 
 443 Rolls and returns will be accompanied by a letter of trans- 
 mittal, enumerating them, and referi'ing to no other subject. 
 
 444. . . .Generally, officers who forward communications indorse on 
 them their remarks or opinion, without other letters of transmittal. 
 
 445 Official letters should generally refer to one matter only. 
 
 In regard to an enlisted man, the company and regiment must be 
 stated. 
 
 446. . . .Letters on letter paper will be folded in three folds, parallel 
 with the Avriting. 
 
 447. . . .All communications on public service are to be marked on 
 the cover, '■''Official Business.''^

 the Adjutant-General's office of the War Department monthly re- 
 turns of their respective regiments, corps, and posts, on the. forms 
 furnished from that office, and according to the directions expressed 
 on them. In like manner, Captains make monthly company returns 
 to regimental head-quarters. All monthly returns will be fonvarded

 as to delay the transmittal of the monthly return to the 10th of the 
 month, the Colonel will not wait for the return of such company, but 
 leave space for it to be entered at the Adjutant-General's office ; for 
 which purpose the Captain will transmit a copy of the return direct 
 to the Adjutant-General, as well as to regimental head-quarters. 
 
 450 In campaign, monthly returns of divisions and detached 
 
 brigades will be made to the Adjutant-General's office. They will 
 exliibit separately the several regiments, and detachments, and staff 
 corjis, and the strength of each garrison within the command. These 
 returns, and those of regiments, corps, and posts, in campaign, will, 
 unless otherwise ordered, be transmitted through the intermediate 
 commanders. 
 
 451 The established printed forms and blanks of all returns re- 
 quired from the commanders of divisions, brigades, regiments, corps, 
 companies, and posts, will be furnished from the Adjutant-General's 
 office, on their requisitions annually made, or oftener, if necessary. 
 The receipt of these forms and blanks will be immediately acknowl- 
 edged, and afterward accounted for on the next monthly returns. 
 
 452 . . . Manuscript returns, rolls, certificates, and other docu- 
 ments, are prohibited, unless the proper jn'inted forms have not been 
 received in time. Regimental returns must be made out in the 
 name of the Colonel, whether he be present or absent.

 and missing will be made, in which the name, rank, and regiment of 
 each oflScer and soldier will be specified, with such remarks and ex- 
 planations as may be requisite for the records of the Department of 
 War, or be necessary to establish the just claims of any individual 
 who may have been wounded, or of the heirs and representatives of 
 any killed in action (taking care to specify the nature of the wound, the 
 time and place of its occurrence, the company, regiment, or corps, and 
 the name of the Captain, Colonel, or other commanding officer). 
 
 REPORTS. 
 
 457 The date of appointment, of detail, and of removal of all 
 
 staff officers, or of officers selected for duty in staff departments, which 
 may entitle them to receive additional pay, will be immediately re- 
 ported by the officer making such appointment, detail, or removal, to 
 the Adjutant-General, and to the PajTiiaster of the department or 
 command to which such officers belong. 
 
 458 "Whenever any change takes place in the position or loca- 
 tion of troops, the fact will be immediately reported by the command- 
 ing officer to general, division, and department head-quarters, speci- 
 fying the date of departure of the whole or any part of the troops, or 
 of the arrival of any detachment ; as well as all other circumstances 
 connected with such changes in the command. These special reports 
 will always be accompanied by an exact return of the troops accord- 
 ing to the established printed forms. A similar report will be noted 
 on the next monthly return of the post or station. If a new post or 
 position be established, its situation, and the nearest post-office and 
 proper route to it should be reported. 
 
 459 .... Officers on detached duty will make reports to the head- 
 quarters of the regiments or corps, and to the Adjutant-General, as 
 often as their stations may be changed.

 their instruction in all military exercises and duties : the state of their 
 arms, clothing, equipments, and accoutrements of all kinds ; of their 
 kitchens and messes ; of the barracks and quarters at the post ; of the 
 guard-house, prisons, hospital, bake-house, magazines, store-houses, 
 and stores of every description ; of the stables and horses ; the con-

 sues and payments ; the mode of enforcing discipline by courts-mar- 
 tial, and by the authority of the officers ; the propriety and legality 
 of all punishments inflicted; and any information whatsoever, con- 
 cerning the service in any matter or particular that may merit notice, 
 or aid to correct defects or introduce improvements. 
 
 463 .... Inspectors are required particularly to report if any officer 
 is of intemperate habits, or unfit for active service by infirmity or any 
 other cause. 
 
 ARTICLE XXXVI. 
 
 TROOPS IN CAMPAIGN. 
 ORGANIZATION OF AN ARMY IN THE FIELD. 
 
 464 .... The formation by divisions is the basis of the organization 
 and administration of armies in the field. 
 
 465. . . .A division consists usually of two or three brigades, either 
 of infantry or cavalry, and troops of other corps in the necessary pro- 
 portion. 
 
 466. . . . A brigade is formed of two or more regiments. The first 
 number takes the right. 
 
 467. . . .Mixed brigades are sometimes formed of infantry and light 
 cavalry, especially for the advanced guards. 
 
 468 .... As the troops arrive at the rendezvous, the general com- 
 manding-in-chief will organize them into brigades and divisions. 
 
 469 .... The light cavalry is employed as flankers and partisans, 
 and generally for all service out of the line. 
 
 470 .... Heavy cavalry belongs to the reserve, and is covered, when 
 necessary, in marches, camps, or bivouacs, by light troops, or infantry 
 of the line. 
 
64 Organization of an Army in the Field, 
 
 471 .... The arrangement of the troops on parade and in order of 
 battle is — 1st, the light infantry ; 2d, infantry of the line ; 3d, light 
 cavalry; 4th, cavalry of the line; 5th, heavy cavalry. The troops of 
 the artillery and engineers are in the centre of the brigades, divisions, 
 or corps to which they are attached; marines take the left of other 
 infantry ; volunteers and militia take the left of regular troops of the 
 same arm, and among themselves, regiments of volunteers or militia 
 of the same arm take place by lot. This arrangement is varied by 
 the general commanding-in-chief, as the circumstances of war render 
 expedient. 
 
 472 .... Brigades in divisions, and divisions in the army, are num- 
 bered from right to left ; but in reports of military operations, brigades 
 and divisions are designated by the name of the general commanding 
 them. 
 
 473 The order of regiments in brigades and of brigades in divi- 
 sions may be changed by the commander of the division for import- 
 ant reasons, such as the weakness of some corps, or to relieve one 
 from marching too long at the rear of the column. Such changes 
 must be reported to the general commanding-in-chief. 
 
 474. . . .The general commanding-in-chief assigns the generals of 
 divisions and of brigades to their respective commands, when the as- 
 signment is not made by the Department of War. 
 
 4 75.... The general of brigade inspects his troops in detail, by 
 companies, when he takes the command and at the opening of the 
 campaign, and as often as may be necessary to ascertain exactly their 
 condition. The general of division makes similar inspections when 
 he thinks proper. At these inspections the generals examine the 
 arms, clothing, equipments, harness, horses, &c., direct the necessa- 
 ry repairs, and designate the men and horses to remain in depot, or 
 march with the train. 
 
 476. . . .Reports of inspections are made by the general of brigade 
 to the general of division, and by the general of division to the gen- 
 eral commanding-in-chief. 
 
 477. . . .During marches and all active operations, generals of brig- 
 ade keep themselves exactly informed, by reports of corps and by their 
 inspections, of the actual strength of the regiments, so as always, and 
 especially after an engagement, to make accurate returns to the gen- 
 eral of division. 
 
 478. . . . Staff officers, and officers of engineers, ordnance, and artil- 
 lery, according to the nature of the service, are assigned to the head- 
 quarters of armies and divisions, and detached brigades, by order of 
 the general commanding-in-chief, when the distribution of these offi- 
 
Contributions .... Orderlies, 65 
 
 ccrs has not been regulated by the War Department. The necessary 
 staff will be assigned to commanders of brigades. 
 
 479 .... When an Engineer or other officer is charged with directing 
 an expedition or making a reconnoissance, without having command 
 of the escort, the commander of the escort shall consult him on all 
 the arrangements necessary to secure the success of the operation. 
 
 480 Staff officers, and commanders of engineers, ordnance, and 
 
 artillery, report to their immediate commanders the state of the sup- 
 plies and what'ever concerns the ser\'ice under their direction, and 
 receive their orders, and communicate to them those they receive 
 from their superiors in their own corps. 
 
 481. . . .The senior officer of engineers, of ordnance, and the depart- 
 ments of the general staff serving at the chief head-quarters in the 
 field, will transmit to the bureau of his department at Washington, at 
 the close of the campaign, and such other times as the commander 
 in the field may approve, a full report of the operations of his depart- 
 ment, and whatever information to improve its service he may be 
 able to furnish. 
 
 The report of the officer of engineers will embrace plans of military 
 works executed during the campaign, and, in case of siege, a journal 
 of the attack or defense. 
 
 CONTEIEUTIONS. 
 
 482. .*. .When the wants of the anny absolutely require it, and in 
 other cases, under special instructions from the War Department, the 
 general commanding the army may levy contributions in money or 
 kind on the enemy's country occupied by the troops. No other com- 
 mander can levy such contributions without written authority from 
 the general commanding-in-chief. 
 
 ORDERLIES. 
 
 483. . . . At the opening of a campaign, the commander of an army 
 determines and announces in orders the number of orderlies, mount- 
 ed or foot, for the Generals, and the corps or regiments by which 
 they are to be supplied, and the periods at which they shall be re- 
 lieved. 
 
 484. . . .In marches, the mounted orderlies follow the Generals, and 
 perform the duty of escorts, or march with orderlies on foot at the 
 head of the division or brigade. 
 
 485. . . .The staff officer who distributes the orderlies to their posts 
 sends with them a note of the time and place of departure ; those re- 
 lieved receive a like note from the staff officer at the head-quarters. 
 
06 Depots and Camps. 
 
 486 .... Mounted soldiers arc to be employed to carry dispatches 
 only in special and urgent cases. 
 
 487. . . .The precise time when the dispatch is sent off, and the rate 
 at which it is to be conveyed, are to be written clearly on the covers 
 of all letters transmitted by a mounted orderly, and the necessary in- 
 structions to him, and the rate of travel going and returning, are to 
 be distinctly explained to him. 
 
 488. . . .The grand depots of an army are established where the 
 military operations would not expose them to be broken up. Smaller 
 depots are organized for the divisions and the several arms. They 
 are commanded by officers temporarily disabled for field service, or 
 by other officers when necessary, and comprise, as much as possible, 
 the hospitals and depots for convalescents. When conveniently 
 placed, they serve as points for the halting and assembling of de- 
 tachments. They receive the disabled from the corps on the march ; 
 and the officers in command of the depots send with the detachments 
 to the army those at the depots who have become fit for service. 
 
 489 Camp is the place where troops are established in tents, in 
 
 huts, or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhabited places which 
 troops occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. The camping- 
 party is a detachment detailed to prepare a camp. 
 
 490. . . .Reconnoissances should precede the establishment of the 
 camp. For a camp of troops on the march, it is only necessary to 
 look to the health and comfort of the troops, the facility of the com- 
 munications, the convenience of wood and water, and the resources 
 in provisions and forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a 
 camp to cover a country, or one designed to deceive the enemy as to 
 the strength of the army, must be selected, and the camp arranged 
 for the object in view. 
 
 491.... The camping-party of a regiment consists of the regi- 
 mental Quartermaster and Quartermaster-Sergeant, and a Corporal 
 and two men per company. The General decides whether the regi- 
 ments camp separately or together, and whether the police guard 
 shall accompany the camping-party, or a larger escort shall be sent. 
 
 492 .... Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with 
 the camping-party. 
 
 493.... When the General can send in advance to prepare the 
 camp, he gives his instructions to the chief of the Quartermaster's 
 
Camps, 67 
 
 Department, who calls on the regiments for their camping-parties, 
 and is accompanied, if necessary, by an Engineer to propose the de- 
 fenses and communications. 
 
 494. ...The watering-places are examined, and signals placed at 
 those that are dangerous. Any work required to make them of eas- 
 ier access is done by the police guard or Quartermaster's men. Sen- 
 tinels, to be relieved by the guards of the regiment when they come 
 up, are placed by the camping-party over the water if it is scarce, 
 and over the houses and stores of provisions and forage in the vicinity. 
 
 495 If the camping-party does not precede the regiment, the 
 
 Quartermaster attends to these things as soon as the regiment 
 reaches the camp. 
 
 496.... On reaching the ground, the infantry form on the color 
 front ; the cavalry in rear of its camp. 
 
 497.... The Generals establish the troops in camp as rapidly as 
 possible, particularly after long, fatiguing marches. 
 
 498 .... The number of men to be furnished for guards, pickets, and 
 orderlies ; the fatigue parties to be sent for supplies ; the work to be 
 done, and the strength of the working parties ; the time and place for 
 issues; the hour of marching, &c., are then announced by the Briga- 
 dier-Generals to the Colonels, and by them to the field officers — the 
 Adjutant and Captains formed in front of the regiment, the First Ser- 
 geants taking post behind their Captains. The Adjutant then makes 
 the details, and the First Sergeants warn the men. The regimental 
 officer of the day forms the picket, and sends the guards to their posts. 
 The colors are then planted at the centre of the color line, and the 
 arms are stacked on the line ; the fatigue parties to procure supplies, 
 and the working parties, form in rear of the arms ; the men not on de- 
 tail pitch the tents. 
 
 499 .... If the camp is near the enemy, the picket remains under 
 aiTQS until the return of the fatigue parties, and, if necessary, is re- 
 enforced by details from each company. 
 
 500. . . .In the cavalry, each troop moves a little in rear of the point 
 at which its horses are to be secured, and forms in one rank ; the men 
 then dismount ; a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack 
 their arms and fix the picket rope ; after the horses are attended to, 
 the tents are pitched, and each horseman places his carbine at the 
 side from the weather, and hangs his sabre and bridle on it. 
 
 .501. . . .The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel. 
 
 502 The terms front, flank, right, left, file, and rank, have the 
 
 same meaning when applied to camps as to the order of battle. 
 
 503. . . .The front of the camp is usually equal to the front of the 
 
68 Camp of Infantry. 
 
 troops. The tents are arranged in ranks and files. The number of 
 ranks varies with the strength of the companies and the size of the 
 tents. 
 
 504 .... No officer will be allowed to occupy a house, although va- 
 cant and on the ground of his camp, except by permission of the com- 
 mander of the brigade, who shall report it to the commander of the 
 disision. 
 J^ 505. ...The staff officer charged with establishing the camp will 
 designate the place for the shambles. The offal will be buried. 
 
 CAMP OF INFANTRY. 
 
 506 .... Each company has its tents in two files, facing on a street 
 perpendicular to the color line. The width of the street depends on 
 the front of the camp, but should not be less than 5 paces. The in- 
 terval between the ranks of tents is 2 paces ; between the files of 
 tents of adjacent companies, 2 paces ; between regiments, 22 paces. 
 
 507.... The color line is 10 paces in front of the front rank of 
 tents. The kitchens are 20 paces behind the rear rank of company 
 tents ; the non-commissioned staff and sutler, 20 paces in rear of the 
 kitchens ; the company officers, 20 paces farther in rear ; and the field 
 and staff, 20 paces in rear of the company officers. 
 
 508. . . .The company officers are in rear of their respective compa- 
 nies ; the Captains on the right. 
 
 509 .... The Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel are near the centre of 
 the line of field and staff; the Adjutant, a Major and Surgeon, on the 
 right ; the Quartermaster, a Major and Assistant Surgeon, on the 
 left. 
 
 510, . . .The police guard is at the centre of the line of the non- 
 commissioned staff, the tents facing to the front, the stacks of arms 
 on the left. 
 
 511. . . .The advanced post of the police guard is about 200 paces in 
 front of the color line, and opposite the centre of the regiment, or on 
 the best ground ; the prisoners' tent about 4 paces in rear. In a reg- 
 iment of the second line, the advanced post of the police guard is 200 
 paces in rear of the line of its field and staff. 
 
 512 The horses of the staff officers and of the baggage train are 
 
 25 paces in rear of the tents of the field and staff; the wagons are 
 parked on the same line, and the men of the train camped near them. 
 
 513 The sinks of the men are 150 paces in front of the color 
 
 line — those of the officers 100 paces in rear of the train. Both arc 
 concealed by bushes. When convenient, the sinks of the men may 
 be placed in reai' or on a flank. A portion of the earth dug out for 
 sinks to be thrown back occasionally.

Camp of Cavalry, ^9 
 
 514. . . .The front of the camp of a regiment of 1000 men in two 
 ranks will be 400 paces, or one fifth less paces than the number of 
 files, if the camp is to have the same front as the troops in order of 
 battle. But the front may be reduced to 190 paces by narrowing the 
 company streets to 5 paces ; and if it be desirable to reduce the front 
 still more, the tents of companies maybe pitched in single file — those 
 of a division facing on the same street. 
 
 CAMP OF CAVALRY. 
 
 5 15.... In the cavalry, each company has one file of tents — the 
 tents opening on the street facing the left of the camp. 
 
 516. ...The horses of each company are placed in a single file, 
 facing the opening of the tents, and are fastened to pickets planted 
 firmly in the ground, from 3 to 6 paces from the tents of the troops. 
 
 517. . . .The interval between the file of tents should be such that, 
 the regiment being broken into column of companies [as indicated in 
 plate], each company should be on the extension of the line on which 
 the horses are to be picketed. 
 
 518. . . .The streets separating the squadrons are wider than those 
 betAveen the companies by the interval separating squadrons in line ; 
 these inten-als are kept free from any obstruction througliout the 
 camp. 
 
 519. . . .The horses of the rear rank are placed on the left of those 
 of their file-leaders. 
 
 520 The horses of the Lieutenants are placed on the right of 
 
 their platoons ; those of the Captains on the right of the company. 
 
 521. . . .Each horse occupies a space of about 2 paces. The num- 
 ber of horses in the company fixes the depth of the camp, and the 
 distance between the files of tents ; the forage is placed between the 
 tents. 
 
 522 .... The kitchens are 20 paces in front of each file of tents. 
 
 523 The non-commissioned ofiicers are in the tents of the front 
 
 rank. Camp-followers, teamsters, &c., are in the rear rank. The 
 police guard in the rear rank, near the centre of the regiment. 
 
 524. . . .The tents of the Lieutenants are 30 paces in rear of the 
 file of their company ; the tents of the Captains 30 paces in rear of 
 the Lieutenants. 
 
 525. . . .The Colonel's tent 30 paces in rear of the Captains', near 
 the centre of the regiment ; the Lieutenant-Colonel on his right ; the 
 Adjutant on his left ; the Majors on the same line, opposite the 2d 
 company on the right and left; the Surgeon on the left of the Ad- 
 jutant. 
 
70 Camp of Artillery. 
 
 526 The field and staff have their horses on the left of their 
 
 tents, on the same line with the company horses ; sick horses are 
 placed in one line on the right or left of the camp. The men who 
 attend them have a separate file of tents ; the forges and wagons in 
 rear of this file. The horses of the train and of camp-followers are 
 in one or more files extending to the rear, behind the right or left 
 squadron. The advanced post of the police guard is 200 paces in 
 front, opposite the centre of the regiment ; the horses in one or two 
 files. 
 
 527 The sinks for the men are 150 paces in front — those for of- 
 ficers 100 paces in rear of the camp. 
 
 CAMP OF ARTILLERY. 
 
 528 The artillery is encamped near the troops to which it is 
 
 attached, so as to be protected from attack, and to contribute to the 
 defense of the camp. Sentinels for the park are furnished by the ar- 
 tillery, and, when necessary, by the other troops. 
 
 529. . . .For a battery of G pieces the tents are in three files — one 
 for each section ; distance between the ranks of tents 15 paces ; tents 
 opening to the front. The horses of each section are picketed in one 
 file, 10 paces to the left of the file of tents. In the horse artillery, or 
 if the number of horses makes it necessary, the horses are in two files 
 on the right and left of the file of tents. The kitchens are 25 paces 
 in front of the front rank of tents. The tents of the officers are in 
 the outside files of company tents, 25 paces in rear of the rear rank 
 — the Captain on the right, the Lieutenants on the left. 
 
 530 .... The park is opposite the centre of the camp, 40 paces in 
 rear of the officers' tents. The carriages in files 4 paces apart ; dis- 
 tance between ranks of carriages sufficient for the horses when har- 
 nessed to them ; the park guard is 25 paces in rear of the park. The 
 sinks for the men 150 paces in front ; for the officers 100 paces in 
 rear. The harness is in the tents of the men. 
 
 531 .... A regiment of cavalry being in order of battle, in rear 
 of the ground to be occupied, the Colonel breaks it by platoons to 
 the right. The horses of each platoon are placed in a single row, 
 and fastened as prescribed for camps ; near the enemy, they re- 
 main saddled all night, with slackened girths. The arms are at first 
 stacked in rear of each row of horses ^ the sabres, with the bridles 
 hung on them, are placed against the stacks. 
 
 532 The forage is placed on the right of each row of horses. 
 
 Two stable-guards for each platoon watch the horses. 
 
Bivouacs. . . . Cantonments, 71 
 
 533 .... A fire for each platoon is made near the color line, 20 paces 
 to the left of the row of horses. A shelter is made for the men 
 around the lire, if possible, and each man then stands his arms and 
 bridle against the shelter. 
 
 534. . . .The fires and shelter for the officers are placed in rear of 
 the line of those for the men. 
 
 635. ...The interval between the squadrons must be without ob- 
 struction throughout the whole depth of the bivouac. 
 
 636. . , .The interval between the shelters should be such that the 
 platoons can take up a line of battle freely to the front or rear. 
 
 537. . . .The distance from the enemy decides the manner in which 
 the horses are to be fed and led to water. When it is permitted to 
 unsaddle, the saddles are placed in the rear of the horses. 
 
 538 ... .In infantry, the fires are made in rear of the color line, on 
 the ground that would be occupied by the tents in camp. The com- 
 panies are placed around them, and, if possible, construct shelters. 
 When liable to surprise, the infantry should stand to arms at day- 
 break, and the cavalry mount until the return of the reconnoitring 
 parties. If the arms are to be taken apart to clean, it must be done 
 by detachments, successively. 
 
 CANTONMENTS. 
 
 539 The cavalry should be placed under shelter whenever the 
 
 distance from the enemy, and from the ground where the troops are 
 to form for battle, permit it. Taverns and farm-houses, with large 
 stables and free access, are selected for quartering them. 
 
 640 The Colonel indicates the place of assembling in case of 
 
 alarm. It should generally be outside the cantonment ; the egress 
 from it should be free ; the retreat upon the other positions secure, 
 and roads leading to it on the side of the enemy obstructed. 
 
 541.... The necessary orders being given, as in establishing a 
 camp, the picket and grand guards are posted. A sentinel may be 
 placed on a steeple or high house, and then the troops are marched 
 to the quarters. The men sleep in the stables, if it is thought ne- 
 cessary. 
 
 642 .... The above applies in the main to infantry. Near the ene- 
 my, companies or platoons should be collected, as much as possible, in 
 the same houses. If companies must be separated, they should be 
 divided by platoons or squads. All take arms at daybreak. 
 
 643 .... When cavalry and infantry canton together, the latter fur- 
 nish the guards by night, and the former by day. 
 
 644. . . .Troops cantoned in presence of the enemy should be cov-

 ered by advanced guards and natural or artificial obstacles. Canton- 
 ments taken during a cessation of hostilities should be estabHshed 
 in rear of a line of defense, and in front of the point on which the 
 troops would concentrate to receive an attack. The General com- 
 manding-in-chief assigns the limits of their cantonments to the di- 
 visions, the commanders of divisions to brigades, and the command- 
 ers of brigades post their regiments. The position for each corps in 
 case of attack is carefully pointed out by the Generals. 
 
 HEAD-QUARTERS. 
 
 645 .... Generals take post at the centre of their commands, on the 
 main channels of communication. If troops bivouac in presence of 
 the enemy, the Generals bivouac with them. 
 
 MILITARY EXERCISES. 
 
 546. . . .When troops remain in camp or cantonment many days, 
 the Colonels require them to be exercised in the school of the battal- 
 ion and squadron. Regiments and brigades encamped by division 
 are not united for drills without the pennission of the General of 
 division. The troops must not bs exercised at the firings without the 
 authority of the General commanding-in-chief. The practice of the 
 drums must never begin with the *' general," or the " march of the 
 regiment ;'* nor the trumpets with the sound " to horse." The hour 
 for practice is always announced. 
 
 547. . . .In the field, verbal orders and important sealed orders are 
 carried by ofiicers, and, if possible, by stafi^ officers. When orders 
 are carried by orderlies, the place and time of departure will be 
 marked on them, and place and time of delivery on the receipt. 
 
 DISPATCHES. 
 
 548 .... Dispatches, particularly for distant corps, should be in- 
 trusted only to ofiScers to whom their contents can be confided. In a 
 country occupied by the enemy, the bearer of dispatches should be 
 accompanied by at least two of the best mounted men ; should avoid 
 towns and villages, and the main roads ; rest as little as possible, and 
 only at out-of-the-way places. Where there is danger, he should 
 send one of the men in advance, and be always ready to destroy his 
 dispatches. He should be adroit in answering questions about the 
 army, and not to be intimidated by threats. 
 
Issiies .... Hosier. 73 
 
 WATCHWORDS. 
 
 549 The parole and countersign are issued daily from the prin- 
 cipal head-quarters of the command. The countersign is given to 
 the sentinels and non-commissioned officers of guards; the parole to 
 the commissioned officers of guards. The parole is usually the name 
 of a general, the countersign of a battle. 
 
 550 When the parole and Countersign can not be commu- 
 nicated daily to a post or detachment which ought to use the same as 
 the main body, a series of words may be sent for some days in ad- 
 vance. 
 
 551 If the countersign is lost, or one of the guard deserts with 
 
 it, the commander on the spot will substitute another, and report the 
 case at once to the proper superior, that immediate notice may be 
 given to head-quarters. 
 
 552 At what time and for what period issues are made, must 
 
 depend on circumstances, and be regulated in orders. When an 
 army is not moving, rations are generally issued for four days at a 
 time. Issues to the companies of a regiment, and the fatigues to 
 receive them, are superintended by an officer detailed from the regi- 
 ment. Issues are made from one end of the line to the other, begin- 
 ning on the right and left, alternately. An issue commenced to one 
 regiment will not be inteiTupted for another entitled to precedence if 
 it had been in place. 
 
 THE ROSTER, OR DETAILS FOR SERVICE. 
 
 553 The duties performed by detail are of three classes. The 
 
 Jirst class comprises, 1st. grand guards and outposts; 2d. interior 
 guards, as of magazine, hospital, &c. ; 3d. orderlies ; 4th. police 
 guards. 
 
 The second class comprises, 1st. detachments to protect laborers on 
 military works, as field-works, communications, &c. ; 2d. working 
 parties on such works ; 3d. detachments to protect fatigues. 
 
 The third class are all fatigues, without arms, in or out of camp. 
 
 In the cavalry, stable-guards form a separate roster, and count be- 
 fore fatigue. 
 
 554. . . .The rosters are distinct for each class. Officers are named 
 on them in the order of rank. The details are taken in succession 
 in the order of the roster, beginning at the head. 
 
 555 Lieutenants form one roster, and first and second Lieuten- 
 
 D 
 
74 Hosier, 
 
 ants are entered on it alternately. The senior first Lieutenant is 
 the first on the roster ; the senior second Lieutenant is the second, 
 &c. The Captains form one roster, and are exempt from fatigues, 
 except to superintend issues. A Captain commanding a battalion 
 temporarily is exempt from detail, and duty falHng to him passes. 
 Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors are on one roster. They may be 
 detailed for duties of the first and second classes, when the import- 
 ance of the guards and detachments requires it. Their roster is kept 
 at division and brigade head-quarters. In the company, sergeants, 
 corporals, and privates form distinct rosters. 
 
 656. .. .Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers take du- 
 ties of the first class in the order stated, viz., the first, for the detail, 
 takes the grand guards ; the next, the interior guards ; the last, the 
 police guard ; and the same rule in regard to the details and duties 
 of the second class. In the details for the third class, the senior offi- 
 cer takes the largest party. The party first for detail takes the serv- 
 ice out of camp. 
 
 557 When the officer whose tour it is, is not able to take it, or 
 
 is not present at the hour of marching, the next after him takes it. 
 When a guard has passed the chain of sentinels, or an interior guard 
 has reached its post, the officer whose tour it was can not then take 
 it. He takes the tour of the officer who has taken his. WTien an 
 officer is prevented by sickness from taking his tour, it passes. These 
 rules apply equally to non-commissioned officers and soldiers. 
 
 558. . . .Duties of the first and second classes are credited on the 
 roster when the guards or detachments have passed the chain of sen- 
 tinels, or an interior guard has reached its post; fatigue duties when 
 the parties have passed the chain or begun the duties in camp. 
 
 559 Every officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier, on duty 
 
 of the first class, or who is of the next detail for such duty, takes, 
 w^hen relieved, the duty of the second or third class that has fallen to 
 him during that time, unless he has marched for detachment of more 
 than twenty-four hours. 
 
 560. .. .Soldiers march with knapsacks on all duties of the first 
 class ; and with arms and equipments complete on all working parties 
 out of the camp, unless otherwise ordered. In the cavalry, horses are 
 packed for all mounted service. 
 
 561 In the cavalry, dismounted men, and those whose horses 
 
 are not in order, are preferi'ed for the detail for dismounted service. 
 Those who are mounted are never employed on those services, if the 
 number of the other class are sufficient. 
 
 562 Every non-commissioned officer and soldier in the cavalry 
 
Police Guard. 75 
 
 detailed for dismounted service must, before he marches, take to the 
 First Sergeant of the troop, or Sergeant of his squad, his horse equip- 
 ments and his valise ready packed. In case of alarm, the First Ser- 
 geant sees that the horses of these men are equipped and led to the 
 rendezvous. 
 
 563 These rules in regard to the roster apply also to service in 
 
 garrison. 
 
 POLICE GUARD. 
 
 564 In each regiment a police guard is detailed every day, Con- 
 sisting of two sergeants, three corporals, two drummers, and men 
 enough to furnish the required sentinels and patrols. The men are 
 taken from all the companies, from each in proportion to its strength. 
 The guard is commanded by a Lieutenant, under the supervision of a 
 Captain, as regimental officer of the day. It furnishes ten sentinels 
 at the camp : one over the arms of the guard ; one at the Colonel's 
 tent; three on the color front, one of them over the colors; three, 
 fifty paces in rear of the field officers' tents ; and one on each flank, 
 between it and the next regiment. If it is a flank regiment, one 
 more sentinel is posted on the outer flank. 
 
 565. . . .An advanced post is detached from the police guard, com- 
 posed of a sergeant, a corporal, a drummer, and nine men to furnish 
 sentinels and the guard over the prisoners. The men are the first 
 of the guard roster from each company. The men of the advanced 
 post must not leave it under any pretext. Their meals are sent to 
 the post. The advanced post furnishes three sentinels; two a few 
 paces in front of the post, opposite the right and left wing of the reg- 
 iment, posted so as to see as far as possible to the front, and one over 
 the arms. 
 
 h^^ .... In the cavalry, dismounted men are employed in preference 
 on the police guard. The mounted men on guard are sent in succes- 
 sion, a part at a time, to groom their horses. The advanced post is 
 always formed of mounted men. 
 
 567 .... In each company, a corporal has charge of the stable- 
 guard. His tour begins at retreat, and ends at morning stable-call. 
 The stable-guard is large enough to relieve the men on post eveiy two 
 hours. They sleep in their tents, and are called by the corporal 
 when wanted. At retreat he closes the streets of the camp with 
 cords, or uses other precautions to prevent the escape of loose horses. 
 
 568. . . .The officer of the day is charged with the order and clean- 
 liness of the camp : a fatigue is furnished to him when the number 
 of prisoners is insufficient to clean the camp. He has the calls beat^ 
 en by the drummer of the guard. 
 
76 Police Guard, 
 
 569.... The police guard and the advanced post pay the same 
 honors as other guards. They take arms when an armed body ap- 
 proaches. 
 
 570. . . .The sentinel over the colors has orders not to permit them 
 to be moved except in presence of an escort; to let no one toucli 
 them but the color-bearer, or the sergeant of the police guard when 
 he is accompanied by two armed men. 
 
 571. . . .The sentinels on the color front permit no soldier to take 
 arms from the stacks, except by erder of some officer, or a non-com- 
 missioned officer of the guard. The sentinel at the Colonel's tent has 
 orders to warn him, day or night, of any unusual movement in or 
 about the camp. 
 
 572.... The sentinels on the front, flanks, and rear, ^ee that no 
 soldier leaves camp with horse or arms unless conducted by a non- 
 commissioned officer. They prevent non-commissioned officers and 
 soldiers from passing out at night, except to go to the sinks, and mark 
 if they return. They arrest, at any time, suspicious persons prowling 
 about the camp, and at night, every one who attempts to enter, even 
 the soldiers of other corps. Arrested persons are sent to the officer 
 of the guard, who sends them, if necessary, to the officer of the day. 
 
 573 The sentinels on the front of the advanced post have orders 
 
 to permit neither non-commissioned officers nor soldiers to pass the 
 line, without reporting at the advanced post ; to warn the advanced 
 post of the approach of any armed body, and to arrest all suspicious 
 persons. The sergeant sends persons so arrested to the officer of the 
 guard, and warns him of the approach of any armed body. 
 
 574 The sentinel over the arms at the advanced post guards the 
 
 prisoners and keeps sight of them, and suffers no one to converse wdth 
 them without permission. They are only permitted to go to the sinks 
 one at a time, and under a sentinel. 
 
 575 ... .If any one is to be passed out of camp at night, the officer 
 of the guard sends him under escort to the advanced post, and the 
 sergeant of the post has him passed over the chain. 
 
 576. . . . At retreat, the officer of the guard has the roll of his guard 
 called, and inspects arms, to see that they are loaded and in order; 
 and visits the advanced post for the same purpose. The sergeant of 
 the police guard, accompanied by two armed soldiers, folds the colors 
 and lays them on the trestle in rear of the arms. He sees that the 
 sutler's stores are then closed, and the men leave them, and that the 
 kitchen fires are put out at the appointed hour. 
 
 577. ...The officer of the day satisfies himself frequently during 
 the night, of the vigilance of the police guard and advanced post. 
 
Police Guard .... Picket. 77 
 
 He prescribes patrols and rounds to be made by the officer and non- 
 commissioned officers of the guard. The officer of the guard orders 
 them when he thinks necessary. He visits the sentinels frequently. 
 
 578 ... -At reveille, the police guard takes arms ; the officer of the 
 guard inspects it and the advanced post. The Sergeant replants the 
 colors in place. At retreat and reveille the advanced post takes 
 arms; the Sergeant makes his report to the officer of the guard 
 when he visits the post. 
 
 67.9. . . .When necessary, the camp is covered at night with small 
 outposts, forming a double chain of sentinels. These posts are under 
 the orders of the commander of the police guard, and are visited by 
 his patrols and rounds. 
 
 680 The officer of the guard makes his report of his tour of 
 
 service, including the advanced post, and sends it, after the guard is 
 marched off, to the officer of the day. 
 
 581 When the regiment marches, the men of the police guard 
 
 return to their companies, except those of the advanced post. In the 
 cavalr}^ at the sound " boot and saddle," the officer of the guard 
 sends one half the men to saddle and pack ; when the regiment as- 
 sembles, all the men join it. 
 
 682 When the camping-party precedes the regiment, and the 
 
 new police guard marches with the camping-party, the guard, on 
 reaching the camp, forms in line thirty paces in front of the centre 
 of the ground marked for the regiment. The officer of the guard 
 furnishes the sentinels required by the commander of the camping- 
 party. The advanced post takes its station. 
 
 583 The advanced post of the old police guard takes charge of 
 
 the prisoners on the march, and marches, bayonets fixed, at the cen- 
 tre of the regiment. On reaching camp, it turns over the prisoners 
 to the new advanced post. 
 
 THE PICKET. 
 
 584: .... The detail for the picket is made daily, after the details 
 for duty of the first class, and from the next for detail on the roster 
 of that class. It is designed to furnish detachments and guards un- 
 expectedly called for in the twenty-four hours ; it counts as a tour of 
 the first class to those who have marched on detachment or guard, or 
 who have passed the night in bivouac. 
 
 585. . . .The officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the 
 picket are at all times dressed and equipped ; the horses are saddled, 
 and knapsacks and valises ready to be put on. 
 
 58G Detachments and guards from the picket are taken from 
 
78 Grand Guards, 
 
 the head of the picket-roll in each company, and, if possible, equally 
 from each company. The picket of a regiment is composed of a 
 Lieutenant, two Sergeants,- four Corporals, a drummer, and about 
 forty privates. For a smaller force, the picket is in proportion to the 
 strength of the detachment. 
 
 587. . . .Officers and men of the picket who march on detachment 
 or guard before retreat will be replaced. 
 
 588 The picket is assembled by the Adjutant at guard-mount- 
 ing ; it is posted twelve paces in rear of -the guard, and is inspected 
 by its own commander. When the guard has marched in review, the 
 commandant of the picket marches it to the left of the police guard, 
 where it stacks its arms, and is dismissed; the arms are under 
 charge of the sentinel of the police guard. 
 
 589 . . . .The j^icket is only assembled by the orders of the Colonel 
 or officer of the day. It forms on the left of the police guard. 
 
 590. . . .The officer Of the day requires the roll of the picket to be 
 called frequently during the day ; the call is sounded from the police 
 guard. At roll-calls and inspections, infantry pickets assemble with 
 knapsacks on, cavalry on foot. The picket is assembled at retreat ; 
 the officer has the roll called, and inspects the arms. The picket 
 sleep in their tents, but without undressing. 
 
 591. . . .The picket does not assemble at night except in cases of 
 alarm, or when the whole or a part is to march ; then the officer of 
 the day calls the officers, the latter the non-commissioned officers, 
 and these the men, for which purpose each ascertains the tents of 
 those he is to call ; they are assembled without beat of drum or other 
 noise. At night, cavalry pickets assemble mounted. 
 
 592 .... Pick^s rejoin their companies whenever the regiment is 
 imder arms for review, drill, march, or^battle. 
 
 GRAND GUAEDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. 
 
 593. . . .Grand guards are the advanced posts of a camp or canton- 
 ment, and should cover the approaches to it. Their number, strength, 
 and positioH are regulated by the commanders of brigades ; in de- 
 tached corps, by the commanding officer. "When it can be, the grand 
 guards of cavalry and infantry are combined, the cavalry furnishing 
 the advanced sentinels. When the cavalry is weak, the grand guards 
 are infantry, but furnished with a few cavalry soldiers, to get and car- 
 ry intelligence of the enemy. 
 
 594. . . .The strength of the grand guard of a brigade will depend 
 on its object and the strength of the regiments, the nature of the 
 country, the position of the enemy, and the disposition of the inhab- 
 itants. It is usually commanded by a Captain. 
 
Gi^and Guards, 79 
 
 595 . . . .Under tho supervision of the Generals of Division and Brig- 
 ade, the grand guards are specially under the direction of a field of- 
 ficer of the day in each brigade. In case of necessity, Captains may 
 be added to the roster of Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors for this de- 
 tail. 
 
 596 Staff officers, sent from division head-quarters to inspect the 
 
 posts of grand guards, give them orders only in urgent cases, and in 
 the absence of the field officer of the day of the brigade. 
 
 597. . . .Grand guards usually mount at the same time as the other 
 guards, but may mount before daybreak if the General of Brigade 
 thinks it necessary to double the outposts at that time. In this case 
 they assemble and march without noise, and during their march throw 
 out scoWits ; this precaution should always be taken in the first posting 
 of a grand guard. The doubling of guards weakens the corps and fa- 
 tigues the men, and should seldom be resorted to, and never when 
 preparing to march or fight. 
 
 598 .... A grand guard is conducted to its post, in the first instance, 
 by the field officer of the day, guided by a staff officer who accompa- 
 nied the General in his reconnoissance. After the post has been es- 
 tablished, the commander sends to the field officer of the day, when 
 necessar}^ a soldier of the guard to guide the relieving guard to the 
 post. He also sends to him in the evening a corporal or trusty man 
 4>of the guard for the note containing the parole and countersign, and 
 sends them before dark to the detached posts. He will not suffer his 
 guard to be relieved except by a guard of the brigade, or by special 
 orders: 
 
 599. . . .If there is no pass to be observed or defended, the grand 
 guards are placed near the centre of the ground they are to observe, 
 on sheltered, and, if possible, high ground, the better to conceal their 
 strength and obser\'e the enemy ; they ought not to be placed near 
 the edge of a wood. When, during the day, they are placed very 
 near or in sight of the enemy, they fall back at night on posts select- 
 ed farther to the rear. 
 
 600 In broken or mountainous countries, and particularly if the 
 
 inhabitants are ill disposed, intermediate posts must be established 
 when it is necessary to post the grand guard distant from the camp. 
 
 601 .... Grand guards are chiefly to watch the enemy in front ; 
 their flanks are protected by each other, and the camp must furnish 
 posts to protect their rear and secure their retreat. 
 
 602 .... Grand guards are seldom intrenched^ and never .without 
 the orders of the General, except by a barricade or ditch when ex- 
 posed in a plain to attacks of cavalry. 
 
^0 Grand Guards, 
 
 603 .... The General of Division, if he thinks proper, changes the 
 stations and orders of these guards, and establishes posts to connect 
 the brigades or protect the exterior flanks. 
 
 601 , . . . After a grand guard is posted, the first care of the com- 
 mander and of the field officer of the day is to get news of the ene- 
 my; then to reconnoitre his position, and the roads, bridges, fords* 
 and defiles. This reconnoissance determines the force and position 
 of the small posts and their sentinels day and night. These posts, 
 according to their importance, are commanded by officers or non- 
 commissioned officers ; the cayalrj posts may be relieved every four 
 or eight hours. 
 
 605 The commander of a grand guard receives detailed instruc- 
 tions from the General and field officer of the day of the brigade, and 
 instructs the commanders of the small posts as to their duties and 
 the arrangements for defense or retreat. The commanders of grand 
 guards may, in urgent cases, change the positions of the small posts. 
 If the small posts are to change their positions at night, they wait un- 
 til the grand guard, have got into position and darkness hides their 
 movements from the enemy ; then march silently and rapidly under 
 the charge of an officer. 
 
 606. . . .In detached corps, small posts of picked men are at night 
 sent forward on the roads by which the enemy may attack or turn 
 the position. They watch the forks of the roads, keep silence, con-sg^ 
 ceal themselves, light no fires, and often change place. They an- 
 nounce the approach of the enemy by signals agreed upon, and re- 
 treat, by routes examined during the day, to places selected, and re- 
 join the guard at daybreak. 
 
 607 .... Grand guards have special orders in each case, and the 
 following in all cases : to inform the nearest posts and the field offi- 
 cer of the day, or the General of Brigade, of the march and move- 
 ments of the enemy, and of the attacks they receive or fear ; to ex- 
 amine every person passing near the post, particularly those coming 
 from without ; to arrest suspicious persons, and all soldiers and camp- 
 followers w^ho tr}' to pass out without permission, and to send to the 
 General, unless otherwise directed, all country people who come in. 
 
 608 All out-guards stand to arms at night on the approach of 
 
 patrols, rounds, or other parties ; the sentinel over the arms has or-r 
 ders to call them out. 
 
 609 .... Advanced posts will not take arms for inspection or cere- 
 mony when it would expose them to the view of the enemy. 
 
 610 Grand guards are often charged with the care and working 
 
 of telegraphic signals. 
 
Grand Guards. 81 
 
 611 The sentinels and vedettes are placed on points from which 
 
 they can see farthest,, taking care not to break their connection with 
 each other or with their posts. They are concealed from the enemy 
 as much as possible by walls, or trees, or elevated ground. It is gen- 
 erally even of more advantage not to be seen than to see far. They 
 should not be placed near covers, where the enemy may capture 
 them. 
 
 G12. . . .A sentinel should always be ready to fire; vedettes carry 
 their pistols or carbines in their hands. A sentinel must be sure of 
 the presence of an enemy before he fires ; once satisfied of that, he 
 must fire, though all defense on his part be useless, as the safety of 
 the post may depend otjl it. Sentinels fire on all persons deserting to 
 the enemy. 
 
 613. . . .If the post must be where a sentinel on it can not com- 
 municate with the guard, a Corporal and three men are detached for 
 it, or the sentinels are doubled, that one may communicate with the 
 guard. During the day the communication may be made by signals, 
 such as raising a cap or handkerchief. At night sentinels are placed 
 on low ground, the better to see objects against the sky. 
 
 614 To lessen the duty of rounds, and keep more men on the 
 
 alert at night, sentinels are relieved every hour. To prevent senti- 
 nels from being surprised, it is sometimes well to precede the coun- 
 tersign by signals, such as striking the musket with the hand, strik- 
 ing the hands together, 6bc. 
 
 615. . . .On the approach of any one at night, the sentinel orders — 
 " Halt r If the order is not obeyed after once repeated, he fires. 
 K obeyed, he calls — " Who goes there f^ If answered — ^^ Rounds'' or 
 *''' Patrol^''' he says — ''''Advance with the countersign^ If more than one 
 advance at the same time, or the person who advances fails to give 
 the countersign or signal agreed on, the sentinel fires, and falls back 
 on his guard. The sentinel over the arms, as soon as his hail is an- 
 swered, turns out the guard, and the Corporal goes to reconnoitre. 
 When it is desirable to hide the position of the sentinel from the 
 enemy, the hail is replaced by signals ; the sentinel gives the signal, 
 and those approaching the counter signal. 
 
 616. . . .With raw troops, or when the light troops of the enemy 
 are numerous or active, and when the country is broken or wooded, 
 the night stormy or dark, sentinels should be doubled. In this case, 
 while one watches, the other, called a flying sentinel, moves about, 
 examining the paths and hollows. 
 
 617. . . .The commandants of grand guards visit the sentinels oft- 
 en ; change their positions when necessary ; make them repeat their 
 
 D2 
 
82 Grand Giiards, 
 
 orders ; teach them under what circumstances and at what signals 
 to retire, and particularly not to fall back directly on their guard if 
 pursued, but to lead the enemy in a circuit. 
 
 G18. . . . At night, haU* the men of the grand guard off post watch 
 under arms, wliile the rest lie down, arms by their side. The horses 
 are always bridled ; the horsemen hold the reins, and must not sleep. 
 
 619. . . .When a grand guard of cavalry is so placed as not to be 
 liable to a sudden attack from the enemy, the General may permit 
 the horses to be fed during the night, unbridling for this purpose a 
 few at a time — the horsemen being vigilant to prevent them from es- 
 caping. 
 
 620. . . .An hour before break of day, infantry grand guards stand 
 to arms, and cavalry mount. At the advanced posts, some of the in- 
 fantry are all night under arms, some of the cavalry on horseback. 
 
 621. . . .The commander of a grand guard regulates the numbers, 
 the hours, and the march of patrols and rounds, according to the 
 strength of his troop and the necessity for precaution ; and, accom- 
 panied by those who are to command the patrols and rounds during 
 the night, he will reconnoitre all the routes they are to follow. 
 
 622 .... Patrols and rounds march slowly, in silence, and with great 
 precaution ; halt frequently to listen and examine the ground. The 
 rounds consist of an officer or non-commissioned officer, and two or 
 three men. 
 
 623 .... Toward break of day the patrols ought to be more frequent, 
 and sent to greater distances. They examine the hollow-ways and 
 ground likely to conceal an enemy, but with great caution, to avoid 
 being cut off, or engaged in an unequal combat ; if they meet the en- 
 emy, they fire and attempt to stop his march. While the patrols are 
 out, the posts are under arms. 
 
 624 Cavalry patrols should examine the country to a greater 
 
 distance than infantry, and report to the infantry guard every thing 
 they observe. The morning patrols and scouts do not return until 
 broad daylight; and when they return, the night sentinels are with- 
 drawn, and the posts for the day resumed. 
 
 625. . . .When patrols are sent beyond the advanced posts, the posts 
 and sentinels should be warned. 
 
 626. . . .On their return, commanders of patrols report in regard to 
 the ground and every thing they have observed of the movements of 
 the enemy, or of his posts, and the commandant of the grand guard 
 reports to the field officer of the day. 
 
 627. . . .The fires of grand guards should be hidden by a wall, or 
 ditch, or other screen. To deceive the enemy, fires are sometimes 
 
Intrenched Posts. 83 
 
 made on ground not occupied. Eircs are not permitted at small posts 
 liable to surprise. 
 
 628 The horses of cavalry guards are watered or fed by detach- 
 ments ; during which the rest are ready to mount. 
 
 629 .... If a body of troops attempt to enter the camp at night, un- 
 less their arrival has been announced, or the commander is known to, 
 or is the bearer of a written order to the commander of the grand 
 guard, he stops them, and sends the commander under escort to the 
 field officer of the day, and warns the posts near him. 
 
 630. . . .Bearers of flags are not permitted to pass the outer chain 
 of sentinels ; their faces are turned from the post or army ; if neces- 
 sary, their eyes are bandaged ; a non-commissioned officer stays with 
 them to prevent indiscretion of the sentinels. 
 
 631 .. . .The commandant of the grand guard receipts for dispatch- 
 es, and sends them to the field officer of the day or General of Brigade, 
 and dismisses the bearer ; but if he has discovered what ought to be 
 concealed from the enemy, he is detained as long as necessary. 
 
 632 .... Deserters are disarmed at the advanced posts, and sent to 
 the commander of the grand guard, who gets from them all the in- 
 formation he can concerning his post. If many come at night, they 
 are received cautiously, <ifeio at a time. They are sent in the morn- 
 ing to the field officer of the day, or to the nearest post or camp, to 
 be conducted to the General of the brigade. All suspected persons 
 are searched by the commanders of the posts. 
 
 633.... When an enemy advances to attack, unless he is in too 
 great force, or the grand guard is to defend an intrenched post or a 
 defile, it will take the positions and execute the movements to 
 check the enemy, acting as skirmishers, or fighting in close or open 
 order, as may be best. The guard joins its corps when in line, or 
 when a sufficient number of troops have reached the ground it de- 
 fends. 
 
 INTRENCHED POSTS. 
 
 634 .... Unless the army be acting on the defensive, no post should 
 be intrenched, except to cover the weak parts of the line, or at points 
 which the enemy can not avoid, or in mountain warfare, or to close 
 a defile, or cover winter quarters. 
 
 635 Posts connected with the operations of an army are in- 
 trenched only by order of the General commanding-in-chief or a 
 General of Division. 
 
 636. . . .Any intrenchment that requires artillery is considered as 
 a post, and a guard or garrison and commander are assigned to it. 
 
84 Detachments. 
 
 637. ...The General who establishes an intrenched post gives to 
 its commander detailed instructions in regard to its defense, and the 
 circumstances under which the defense should cease. 
 
 G38 .... The commander reconnoitres his post ; distributes the 
 troops ; posts the officers and non-commissioned officers ; forms a re- 
 serve ; gives orders for all contingencies he can foresee ; supposes an 
 attack, and arranges his troops for defense, so as to prepare them for 
 attack, day or night. 
 
 630 .... In dark weather he redoubles his vigilance, and changes 
 the hours and direction of the rounds and patrols. He permits no 
 flags of truce, deserters, or strangers to enter. If a flag ought to 
 pass his post, he bandages his eyes. He refuses admittance to a re- 
 lief or any other party until he has carefully examined them. In 
 case of an attack, he does not wait for orders or hold a council. 
 Having defended his j^ost to the last extremity, or till the purpose of 
 the defense, according to his instructions, is answered, he may then 
 spike his guns and rejoin the army under cover of night, or by cut- 
 ting his way through the enemy. 
 
 DETACHMENTS. 
 
 640 When a detachment is to be formed from the different 
 
 regiments of a brigade, the Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade 
 assembles it, and turns it over to the commander. 
 
 641. . . .When a detachment is to be formed from different brig- 
 ades, the Assistant Adjutant-General in each forms the contingent of 
 the brigade, and sends it to the place of assembling. 
 
 642 .... Detachments are generally formed by taking battalions, 
 squadrons, companies, platoons in turn, according to the roster for 
 such detail. 
 
 643 When the detachment is to consist of men from every 
 
 company or troop, the first on the roster for guard are taken. 
 
 644 .... Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, whose 
 tour it is to go on detachment, if employed otherwise at the time, are 
 relieved from the duty they are on, if they can reach camp in time to 
 march with the detachment. 
 
 645 When detachments meet, the command is regulated while 
 
 they serve together as if they formed one detachment. But the se- 
 nior officer can not prevent the commander of any detachment from 
 moving, when he thinks proper, to execute the orders he has re- 
 ceived. 
 
 646 On the return of a detachment, the commander reports to 
 
 the head-quarters from which he received his orders. 
 
Beconnaissances. 85 
 
 RECONNAISSANCES. 
 
 647 Near an enemy, daily reconnaissances are made to ob- 
 serve the ground in front, and to discover whether the advanced 
 guards of the enemy have been increased or put in motion, or any 
 other sign of his preparation for march or action. 
 
 648 Thev are made by small parties of cavalry and infantry, 
 
 from the brigade, under direction of the General of Division or the 
 General of a separate brigade, and to less distance by the patrols of 
 the grand guard, and are not repeated at the same hour or by the 
 same route. On the plain, reconnaissances are made by cavalry; 
 among mountains, by infantry, with a few horsemen to carry intelli- 
 gence. 
 
 649 .... Eeconnoitring parties observe the following precautions : to 
 leave small posts, or sentinels at interv,als, to transmit intelligence to 
 the advanced posts of the army, unless the return is to be by a differ- 
 ent route ; to march with caution, to avoid fighting ; and see, if pos- 
 sible, without being seen ; to keep an advanced guard ; to send well- 
 mounted men ahead of the advanced guard, and on the flank of the 
 party; to instruct the scouts that no two should enter a defile or 
 mount a hill together, but to go one at a time, while one watchas to 
 carry the news if the other is taken. 
 
 650 .... Before daybreak the advanced guard and scouts are drawn 
 closer ; the party then march slowly and silently, stop frequently to 
 listen, and keep the horses that neigh in the rear. The party should 
 enter no wood, defile, village, or inclosure, until it has been fully ex- 
 amined by the scouts. 
 
 651. . . .Special reconnaissances are made under the instruction of 
 the General in command, by such officers and with such force as he 
 may direct. 
 
 652 Offensive or forced reconnaissances are to ascertain with 
 
 certainty points in the enemy's position, or his strength. They are 
 sometimes preludes to real actions, and sometimes only demonstra- 
 tions. They drive irT his outposts, and sometimes engage special 
 corps of his hue. They are only made by the order of the General 
 commanding-in-chief, or the commander of an isolated corps. 
 
 653. . . .In all reports of reconnaissances, the officer making them 
 shall distinguish expressly what he has seen from the accounts he has 
 not been able to verify personally. 
 
 654. ...In special and offensive reconnaissances, the report must 
 be accompanied by a field-sketch of the localities, the dispositions 
 and defenses of the enemy. 
 
86 Partisans and Flankers, 
 
 PARTISANS AND FLANKERS. 
 
 655 The operations of partisan corps depend on the nature and 
 
 theatre of the war; they enter into the general plan of operations, and 
 are conducted under the orders of the General commanding-in-chief. 
 
 656.... The composition and strength of partisan corps and de- 
 tachments of flankers depend on the object, the difficulties, the dis- 
 tance, and the probable time of the expedition. 
 
 657. . . .The purpose of these isolated corps is to reconnoitre at a 
 distance on the flanks of the army, to protect its operations, to de- 
 ceive the enemy, to interrupt his communications, to intercept his 
 couriers and his correspondence, to threaten or destroy his magazines, 
 to carry off* his posts and his convoys, or, at all events, to retard his 
 march by making him detach largely for their protection. 
 
 658 While these corps fatigue the enemy and embarrass his 
 
 operations, they endeavor to inspire confidence and secure the good- 
 will of the inhabitants in a friendly country, and to hold them in 
 check in an enemy's country-. 
 
 659 .... They move actively, appear unexpectedly on different 
 points in such a manner as to make it impossible to estimate their 
 force, or to tell whether they are irregular forces or an advanced guard. 
 
 6G0 .... These operations require vigilance, secrecy, energy, and 
 promptness. The partisan commander must frequently supply by 
 stratagem and audacity what he wants in numbers. 
 
 661.... These detachments are sometimes composed of different 
 arms, but the service belongs more particularly to the light cavalry, 
 .which can move to a distance by rapid marches, sur]f)rise the enemy, 
 attack unexpectedly, and retire as promptly. 
 
 662 .... Stormy weather, fogs, extreme heat, and the night above 
 all, are favorable to the success of ambuscades ; when the enemy are 
 careless, the break of day is the best time. A partisan commander 
 should communicate to his second in command his secret orders, the 
 direction and object of the expedition, and the different points of 
 junction with the army. 
 
 663. . . .Guides of the country and spies are often necessary to the 
 partisan. They are examined separately, and confronted if their ac- 
 counts differ. When there is but one guide, he marches with the ad- 
 vanced guard, guarded by two men, and bound if necessary. Peddlers 
 and smugglers are specially suitable for spies. 
 
 (jQ4: A fit time to attack a convoy is at a halt, or when they be- 
 gin to park, or when they are watering, or passing a wood or a defile ; 
 at a bend of the road, a bridge, or steep ascent. 
 
Marches. 87 
 
 6G5 .... The attacking party may be principally cavalry, with some 
 infantry. The first object is to disperse the escort. A part of the de- 
 tachment attacks the main body of the escort, another the wagons, 
 and a third is in reserve ; skirmishers line the road, and try to cut the 
 traces, and to seize the front and rear wagons, and turn them across 
 the road, to prevent the train from advancing or retreating. 
 
 &QQ .... If the convoy is parked, the cavalry sun-ounds it, assails the 
 escort, and tries to draw it away from the train. The infantry then 
 engage the troops remaining at the park, slip under the wagons, and 
 get into the park. When the cavalry is alone and the enemy are 
 shaken, they dismount a portion of the men to supply the want of in- 
 fantry. 
 
 667. .. .If it is a large convoy, the principal attack is made on the 
 centre ; the most valuable wagons are also selected, and additional 
 horses are put to them if the attack is successful. Those that can 
 not be carried off are burned. 
 
 MARCHES. 
 
 668 .... The object of the movement and the nature of the ground 
 determine the order of march, the kind of troops in each column, and 
 the number of columns. 
 
 669. . . .The force is divided into as many columns as circumstances 
 permit, without weakening any one too much. They ought to pre- 
 serve their communications, and be within supporting distance of 
 each other. The commander of each column ought to know the 
 strength and direction of the others. 
 
 670- . . .The advance and rear guards are usually light troops ; their 
 strength and composition depend on the nature of the ground and 
 the position of the enemy. They serve to cover the movements of the 
 army, and to hold the enemy in check until the General has time to 
 make his arrangements. 
 
 671*. . . . The advance guard is not always at the head of the column ; 
 in a march to a flank, it takes such positions as cover the movement. 
 Sappers are attached to the advanced guard if required. 
 
 672. . . .The "^ewera/," sounded one hour before the time of march- 
 ing, is the signal to strike tents, to load the wagons, and pack horses, 
 and send them to the jjlace of aseembling. The fires are then put 
 out, and care taken to avoid burning straw, &c., or giving to tjie ene- 
 my any other indication of the movement. 
 
 673 The "march" will be beat in the infantry, and the "ad- 
 vance" sounded in the cavalry, in succession, as each is to take its 
 place in the column, 
 
88 Marches. 
 
 674 When the army should form suddenly to meet the enemy, 
 
 the " hng rolV is beat, and " to horse'' sounded. The troojjs form rap- 
 idly in front of their camp. 
 
 675. . . .Batteries of artillery and their caissons move with the coips 
 to which they are attached ; the field train and ambulances march at 
 the rear of the column ; and the baggage with the rear guard. 
 
 676. .. .Cavalry and infantry do not march together, unless the 
 proximity of the enemy makes it necessary. 
 
 6 77.... In cavalry marches, when distant from the enemy, each 
 regiment, and, if possible, each squadron, forms a separate column, in 
 order to keep up the same gait from front to rear, and to trot, when 
 desirable, on good ground. In such cases, the cavalry may leave 
 camp later, and can give more rest to the horses, and more attention 
 to the shoeing and harness. Horses are not bridled until the time to 
 start. 
 
 678 .... When necessary, the orders specify the rations the men are 
 to carry in their haversacks. The field officers and Captains make 
 inspections frequently during the march ; at halts they examine the 
 knapsacks, valises, and haversacks, and throw away all articles not 
 authorized. The officers and non-commissioned officers of cavaliy 
 companies attend personally to the packs and girths. 
 
 679. . . .Wlien it can be avoided, troops should not be assembled 
 on high roads or other places where they interrupt the communica- 
 tion. 
 
 680 .... Generals of Division and commanders of detached corps 
 send a staff ofiicer to the rendezvous, in advance, to receive the 
 troops, who, on amving, take their place in the order of battle, and 
 form in close column, unless othei-wise ordered. Artillery, or trains 
 halted on the roads, form in file on one side. 
 
 681.... The execution of marching orders must not be delayed. 
 If the commander is not at the head of his troops when they are to 
 march, the next in rank puts the column in motion. 
 
 682 If possible, each column is preceded by a detachment of 
 
 sappers, to remove obstacles to the march, aided, when necessar}-, by 
 infantry, or the people of the country. The detachment is divided 
 into two sections : one stops to remove the first obstacle, the other 
 moves on to the next. 
 
 683. . . .In night marches, and at bad places, and at cross-roads, 
 when necessary, intelligent non-commissioned officers are posted to 
 show the way, and are relieved by the regiments as they come up. 
 
 684. . . .On the march no one shall fire a gun, or cry ^^ halt" or 
 *' march" without orders. 
 
Marches. 89 
 
 GS5 Soldiers are not to stop for water ; the canteens should be 
 
 filled before starting. 
 
 686 It is better to avoid villages ; but if the route lies through 
 
 them, officers and non-commissioned officers are to be vigilant to pre- 
 vent straggling. Halts should not take place at villages. 
 
 687. . . .Besides the rear guard, the General sometimes takes a de- 
 tachment from the last regiment, and adds to it non-commissioned 
 officers from each regiment, to examine villages and all hiding-places 
 on the route, to bring up stragglers and seize marauders. 
 
 688 In night marches, the Sergetint-Major of each regiment re- 
 mains at the rear with a drummer, to give notice when darkness or 
 difficulty stops the march. In cavalry, a trumpet is placed in rear of 
 each squadron, and the signal repeated to the head of the regiment. 
 
 689 The General and field officers frequently stop, or send offi- 
 cers to the rear, to see that the troops march in the prescribed order, 
 and keep their distances. To quicken the march, the General warns 
 the Colonels, and may order a signal to be beat. It is repeated in all 
 the regiments. 
 
 690 .... In approaching a defile the Colonels are warned ; they 
 close their regiments as they come up ; each regiment passes separate- 
 ly, at an accelerated pace, and in as close order as possible. The 
 leading regiment having passed, and left room enough for the whole 
 column in close order, then halts, and moves again as soon as the last 
 regiment is through. In the cavalry, each squadron, before quicken- 
 ing the pace to rejoin the column, takes its original order of march. 
 
 691. .. .When the distance from the enemy permits, each regi- 
 ment, after closing up in front and rear of the defile, stacks arms. 
 
 692 Halts to rest and re-form the troops are frequent during the 
 
 day, depending on the object and length of the march. They are 
 made in preference after the passage of defiles. 
 
 693 .... No honors are paid by troops on the march or at halts. 
 
 694. . . .The sick march with the wagons. 
 
 695 . . . ^ed horses of officers, and the horses of dismounted men, 
 follow their regiment. The baggage wagons never march in the col- 
 umn. When the General orders the field train and ambulances to 
 take place in the column, he designates the position they shall 
 take. 
 
 696 .... If two corps meet on the same road, they pass to the right, 
 and both continue their march, if the road is wide enough ; if it is 
 not, the first in the order of battle takes the road, the other halts. 
 
 697 A corps in march must not be cut by another. If two 
 
 corps meet at cross-roads, that which arrives last halts if the other is 
 
90 Battles, 
 
 in motion. A coi-ps in march passes a corps at a halt, if it has prece- 
 dence in the order of battle, or if the halted corps is not ready to 
 move at once. 
 
 698.... A column that halts to let another column pass resumes 
 the march in advance of the train of this column. If a column has 
 to pass a train, the train must halt, if necessary, till the column 
 passes. The column Avhich has precedence must yield it if the com- 
 mander, on seeing the orders of the other, finds it for the interest of 
 the service. 
 
 BATTLES. 
 
 699 .... Dispositions for battle depend on the number, kind, and 
 quality of the troops opposed, on the ground, and on the objects of 
 the war ; but the following rules are to be observed generally: 
 
 700. . . .In attacking, the advanced guard endeavors to capture the 
 enemy's outposts, or cut them off from the main body. Having done 
 so, or driven them in, it occupies, in advancing, all the points that 
 can cover or facilitate the march of the army, or secure its retreat, 
 such as bridges, defiles, woods, and heights ; it then makes attacks, 
 to occupy the enemy, without risking too much, and to deceive them 
 as to the march and projects of the army. 
 
 701.... When the enemy is hidden by a curtain of advanced 
 troops, the commandant of the advanced guard sends scouts, under 
 intelligent officers, to the right and left, to ascertain his position and 
 movements. If he does not succeed in this way, he tries to unmask 
 the enemy by demonstrations ; threatens to cut the advance from the 
 main body; makes false attacks; partial and impetuous charges in 
 echelon; and if all fail, he makes a real attack to accomplish the 
 object. 
 
 702 .... Detachments left by the advanced guard to hold points in 
 the rear rejoin it when other troops come up. If the army takes a 
 position, and the advanced guard is separated from it by defiles or 
 heights, the communication is secured by troops drawn from the main 
 
 703. . . .At proper distance from the enemy, the troops are formed 
 for the attack in several lines ; if only two can be formed, some bat- 
 talions in column are placed behind the wings of the second line. 
 The lines may be formed of troops in column or in order of battle, 
 according to the ground and plan of attack. 
 
 704. . .The advanced guard may be put in the line or on the 
 wings, or other position, to aid the pursuit or cover the retreat. 
 
 705 The reserve is formed of the best troops of foot and horse, 
 
Battles. 91 
 
 to complete a victory or make good a retreat. It is placed in the 
 rear of the centre, or chief point of attack or defense. 
 
 706. . . .The cavalry should be distributed in echelon on the wings 
 and at the centre, on favorable gi-ound. 
 
 707 .... It should be instructed not to take the gallop until within 
 charging distance ; never to receive a charge at a halt, but to meet it, 
 or, if not strong enough, to retire manoeuvring; and in order to be 
 ready for the pursuit, and prepared against a reverse, or the attacks 
 of the reserve, not to engage all its squadrons at once, but to reserve 
 one third, in column or in echelon, abreast of or in the rear of one 
 of the wings ; this arrangement is better than a second line with in- 
 tervals. 
 
 708 In the attack, the artillery is employed to silence the bat- 
 teries that protect the position. In the defense, it is better to direct 
 its fire on the advancing troops. In either case, as many pieces are 
 united^s possible, the fire of artillery being formidable in proportion 
 to its concentration. 
 
 709 .... In battles and military operations it is better to assume the 
 offensive, and put the enemy on the defensive ; but to be safe in do- 
 ing so requires a larger force than the enemy, or better troops, and 
 favorable ground. When obliged to act op the defensive, the advant- 
 age of position and of making the attack may sometimes be secured 
 by forming in rear of the ground on which we are to fight, and ad- 
 vancing at the moment of action. In mountain warfare, the assail- 
 ant has always the disadvantage; and even in ofiensive warfare, in 
 the open field, it may frequently be very important, when the artil- 
 leiy is well posted, and any advantage of ground may be secured, to 
 await the enemy and compel him to attack. 
 
 710 .... Tbe attack should be made with a superior force on the 
 decisive point of the enemy's position, by masking this by false at- 
 tacks and demonstrations on other- points, and by concealing the 
 troops intended for it by the ground, or by other troops in their front. 
 
 711. .. .Besides the arrangements which depend on the supposed 
 plan of the enemy, the wings must be protected by the ground, or 
 supported by troops in echelon ; if the attack of the enemy is re- 
 pulsed, the offensive must at once be taken, to inspire the troops, to 
 disconcert the enemy, and often to decide the action. In thus taking 
 the offensive, a close column should be pushed rapidly on the wing 
 or flank of the enemy. The divisions of this column form in line of 
 battle successively, and each division moves to the front as soon as 
 formed, in order, by a rapid attack in echelon, to prevent the enemy 
 from changing front or bringing up his reserves. In all arrange- 
 
92 Battles. 
 
 ments, especially in those for attack, it is most important to conceal 
 the design until the moment of execution, and then to execute it 
 with the greatest rapidity. The night, therefore, is preferred for the 
 movement of troops on the flank or rear of the enemy, otherwise it is 
 necessary to mask their march by a grand movement in front, or by 
 taking a wide circuit. 
 
 712. . . .In making an attack, the communications to the rear and 
 for retreat must be secured, and the General must give beforehand 
 all necessary orders to provide for that event. 
 
 713. . . .When a success is gained, the light troops should pursue 
 the enemy promptly and rapidly. The other troops will restore order 
 in their columns, then advance from position to position, always pre- 
 pared for an attack or to support the troops engaged. 
 
 714. . . .Before the action, the Generals indicate the places where, 
 they wall be j if they change position, they give notice of it, or leave 
 a staff officer to show where they have gone. ^ 
 
 715. . . .During the fight the officers and non-commissioned officers 
 keep the men in the ranks, and enforce obedience if necessary. Sol- 
 diers must not be permitted to leave the ranks to strip or rob the 
 dead, nor to assist the wounded, unless by express permission, which 
 is only to be given after th^action is decided. The highest interest 
 and duty is to win the victory, which only can insure proper care of 
 the wounded. 
 
 716. . . .Before the action, the Quartermaster of the division makes 
 all the necessary arrangements for the transportation of the wound- 
 ed. He establishes the ambulance depots in the rear, and gives his 
 assistants the necessary instruction for the service of the ambulance 
 wagons and other means of removing the wounded. 
 
 717. . . .The ambulance depot, to w^hicli the wounded are carried or 
 directed for immediate treatment, is generally established at the most 
 convenient building nearest the field of battle. A redjlag marks its 
 place, or the way to it, to the conductors of the ambulances and to 
 the wounded who can walk. 
 
 718 The active ambulances follow the troops engaged to succor 
 
 the wounded and remove them to the depots; for this purpose the 
 conductors should always have the necessary assistants, that the sol- 
 diers may have no excuse to leave the ranks for that object. 
 
 719.... The medical director of the division, after consultation 
 with the Quartermaster-General, distributes the medical officers. and 
 hospital attendants at his disposal, to the depots and active ambu- 
 lances. He will send officers and attendants, when practicable, to 
 the active ambulances, to relieve the wounded who require treatment 
 
Battles .... Prisoners of War, 93 
 
 before being removed from the ground. He will see that the depots 
 and ambulances are provided with the necessary apparatus, medi- 
 cines, and stores. He will take post and render his professional 
 services at the principal depot. 
 
 720. . . .If the enemy endanger the depot, the Quartermaster takes 
 the orders of the General to remove it or to strengthen its guard. 
 
 721. . . .The wounded in the depots and the sick are removed, as 
 soon as possible, to the hospitals that have been established by the 
 Quartermaster-General of the army on the flanks or rear of the army. 
 
 722. . . .After an action, the officers of ordnance collect the muni- 
 tions of war left on the field, and make a return of them to the Gen- 
 eral. The Quartermaster's Department collects the rest of the public 
 property captured, and makes the returns to head-quarters. 
 
 723 .... Written reports for the General commanding-in-chief are 
 made by commandants of regiments, batteries, and separate squad- 
 rons, and by all commanders of a higher grade, each in what con- 
 cerns his own command, and to his immediate commander. 
 
 724. . . .When an officer or soldier deserves mention for conduct in 
 action, a special report shall be made in his case, and the General 
 commanding-in-chief decides whether to mention him in his report to 
 the government and in his orders. But he shall not be mentioned 
 in the report until he has been mentioned in the orders to the army. 
 These special reports are examined with care by the intermediate 
 commanders, to verify the facts, and secure commendation and re- 
 wards to the meritorious only. 
 
 725 .... The report of battles, which must frequently be made be- 
 fore these special reports of persons are scrutinized, is confined to 
 general praise or blame, and an account of the operations. 
 
 PRISONERS OF WAR. 
 
 726. . . .Prisoners of war will be disarmed and sent to the rear, and 
 reported as soon as practicable to the head-quarters. The return of 
 prisoners from the Head-Quarters of the Army to the War Depart- 
 ment will specify the number, rank, and corps. 
 
 727. . . .The private property of prisoners will be duly respected, 
 and each shall be treated with the regard due to his rank. They are 
 to obey the necessary orders given them. They receive for subsist- 
 ence one ration each, without regard to rank ; and the wounded are 
 to be treated with the same care as the wounded of the army. Oth- 
 er allowances to them will depend on conventions with the enemy. 
 Prisoners' horses will be taken for the army. 
 
 728 Exchanges of prisoners and release of officers on parole 
 
94: Co7ivoys and their Escorts, 
 
 depend on the orders of the General commanding-in-chief, under the 
 instructions of government. 
 
 CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORTS. 
 
 729. . . .The strength and composition of the escort of a convoy de- 
 pend on the country, the nature and value of the convoy, and the 
 dangers it may incur. A larger escort is required for a convoy of 
 powder, that the defense may not be near the train. 
 
 730 .... Cavalry is employed in escorts chiefly to reconnoitre ; the 
 proportion is larger as the country is more open. 
 
 731. .. .Pioneers or working - parties are attached to convoys to 
 mend roads, remove obstacles, and erect defenses. The convoys 
 should always be provided with spare wheels, poles, axles, <fec. 
 
 732. . . .The commandant of the escort should receive detailed in- 
 structions in writing. 
 
 733 .... As far as the defense permits, the commander of the escort 
 shall refer to the officer in charge of the convoy for the hours of de- 
 parture, the halts, the parking and order of the train, and the precau- 
 tions against accidents. 
 
 734 .... Officers who accompany the convoy, but do not belong to 
 the escort, shall exercise no authority in it except by consent of the 
 commander. If these officers are junior to the commander, he may 
 assign them to duty if the defense requires it. 
 
 735. . . .Large convoys are formed into divisions, each with a con- 
 ductor. The distance between the wagons is four paces. A small 
 party of infantry is attached to each division. 
 
 736 .... Generally, munitions of war are at the head of the convoy, 
 subsistence next, and then other military stores ; the sutler last. But 
 always that part of the convoy which is most important to the army 
 shall be where it is most secure from danger. 
 
 737.... The commandant should send out reconnoitring parties, 
 and never put the convoy in motion until their reports have been 
 received. He always forms an advance and rear guard, and keeps 
 the main body under his immediate order at the most important 
 point, with small guards or posts at other points. 
 
 738. . . .In an open country the main body marches by the side of 
 the road, opposite the centre of the convoy ; in other cases at the 
 head or rear of the column, as the one or the other is more exposed. 
 
 739 .... The advance guard precedes the convoy far enough to re> 
 move all obstacles to its advance. It examines the woods, defiles, 
 and villages, and by mounted men gives information to the command, 
 er, and receives his orders. It reconnoitres places for halts and parks. 
 
Convoys and their. Escorts, 95 
 
 740 If the head of the column is threatened, the advanced 
 
 guard seizes the defiles and places which the enemy might occupy, 
 and holds them until the main body advances to the front and re- 
 lieves it ; the main body holds the positions until the head of the con- 
 voy arrives, and then leaves detachments which are relieved by the 
 parties marching with the divisions ; the posts are not abandoned until 
 the whole con\oy has passed and the position is no longer important. 
 
 741 . . . .When the rear is threatened, like measures are taken ; the 
 rear guard defends the ground and retards the enemy by breaking the 
 bridges and blocking the road. 
 
 742. . . .If the flanks are threatened, and the ground is broken, and 
 many defiles are to be passed, the defense of the convoy becomes more 
 ditficult; the advance and rear guards must be reduced, the flanks 
 strengthened, and positions which will cover the march of the convoy 
 must be occupied by the main body of the troops before the head of 
 the convoy reaches them, and until it has passed. 
 
 743 .... If the convoy is large, and has to pass places that the force 
 and position of the enemy make dangerous, the loss of the whole con- 
 voy must not be risked ; it must pass by divisions, which reunite after 
 the passage. In this case the greater part of the troops guard the 
 first division; they seize the important points, and cover them with 
 light troops, or, if necessary, with small posts, and hold them until all 
 the divisions have passed. 
 
 744 .... If there is artillery in the convoy, the commander of the es- 
 cort uses it for the defense. 
 
 745 .... To move faster and make the defense easier, the wagons 
 move in double file whenever the road allows it. If a wagon breaks, 
 it is at once removed from the road ; when repaired, it takes the 
 rear ; when it can not be repaired, its load and horses are distributed 
 to some of the other wagons kept in the rear for that purpose. 
 
 746 Convoys by water are escorted on the same principles. 
 
 Each boat has a small infantry guard ; one portion of the escort pre- 
 cedes or follows the convoy in boats. The cavalry march opposite the 
 convoy ; the advance and rear guard move by land, and all are con- 
 nected by flankers with the convoy. Where a river runs through a 
 narrow valley, the body of the infantry moves by land to prevent the 
 enemy from occupying the heights and disturbing the convoy. 
 
 747. . . .Convoys halt every hour to let the horses take breath and 
 the wagons close up. Long halts are made but seldom, and only in 
 places that have been reconnoitred and found favorable for defense. 
 At night the park is arranged for defense, and in preference at a dis- 
 tance from inhabited places, if in an enemy's country. 
 
9Q Bag (/age Trains. 
 
 748. . . .The wagons are usually paiked in ranks, axle against axle, 
 the poles in the same direction, and with sufficient space between the 
 ranks for the horses. If an attack is feared, they are parked in square, 
 the hind wheels outside, and the horses inside. 
 
 749. . . .On the appearance of the enemy during the march, the 
 commander closes up the wagons and continues his march in order; 
 he avoids fighting ; but if the enemy seizes a position that commands 
 his road, he attacks vigorously with the mass of his force, but is not to 
 continue the pursuit far from the convoy. The convoy halts, and re- 
 sumes the march when the position is earned. 
 
 750 .... When the enemy is too strong to be attacked, the convoy 
 is parked in square if there is room ; if not, closed up in double file ; 
 at the front and rear the road is blocked by wagons across it. Thei 
 drivers are dismounted at the heads of the horses. They are not per- 
 mitted to make their escape. The light troops keep the enemy at a 
 distance as long as possible, and are supported when necessary, but pru- 
 dently, as the troops must be kept in hand to resist the main attack. 
 
 751 If a wagon takes fire in the park, remove it if possible ; if 
 
 not, remove first the ammunition wagons, then those to leeward of 
 the fire. 
 
 752 AYhen a whole convoy can not be saved, the most valuable 
 
 part may sometimes be by abandoning the rest. If all efforts fail, and 
 there is no hope of succor, the convoy must be set on fire and the 
 horses killed that can not be saved ; the escort may then cut its way 
 through. 
 
 753 .... If the convoy is of prisoners of war, every effort should be 
 made to reach a village or strong building where they may be con- 
 fined ; if forced to fight in the field, the prisoners must be secm'ed and 
 made to lie down until the action is over. 
 
 BAGGAGE TRAINS. 
 
 754 The baggage train of general head-quarters and the trains 
 
 of the several divisions are each under the charge of an officer of the 
 Quartermaster's Department. These officers command and conduct 
 the trains under the orders they receive from their respective head- 
 quarters. When the trains of different divisions march together, or 
 the train of a division marches with the train of general head-quar- 
 ters, the senior Quartermaster directs the whole. 
 
 755 The Regimental Quartermaster has charge of the wagons, 
 
 horses, equipments, and all means of transport employed in the serv- 
 ice of the regiment. Under the orders of the Colonel, he assembles 
 them for the march, and maintains the order and police of the train

 in park and on the march. On marches, the regimental trains arc 
 under the orders of the Quartermaster of the division. When the 
 march is by brigade, the senior Regimental Quartermaster in the brig- 
 ade, or the Quartermaster of the brigade, has the direction of the 
 whole. The necessary wagon-masters, or non-commissioned officers 
 to act as such, arc employed with the several trains. 
 
 756. . . .None but the authorized wagons are allowed to march with 
 the train. The wagons of the several head-quarters, the regimental 
 wagons, and the wagons of sutlers authorized by orders from head- 
 quarters to march with the train, are all to be conspicuously marked. 
 
 757. . . .When the train of head-quarters is to have a guard, the 
 strength of the guard is regulated by the General. Generals of Brig- 
 ade guard their trains by the men attached to tMI train of the first 
 regiment of their brigades. The regimental trains are loaded, un- 
 loaded, and guarded, as far as practicable, by convalescents and men 
 not effective in the ranks ; in the cavalry, by dismounted men. When 
 the guard of a train is the escort for its defense, the regulations in 
 regard to convoys and escorts take effect. 
 
 758. . . .Habitually each division is followed by its train, the reg- 
 imental trains uniting at the brigade rendezvous. When otherwise, the 
 order for the movement of the divisions, brigades, and regiments con- 
 tains the necessary directions in regard to the assembling and march- 
 ing of the respective trains. The several trains march in an order 
 analogous to the rank of the generals, and the order of battle of the 
 troops to which they belong. Trains are not allowed in any case to 
 be in the midst of the troops, or to impede the march of the troops. 
 
 759. . . .The wagon-masters, under the orders of the officers of the 
 Quartermaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints over 
 the teamsters and servants who leave their teams, or do not properly 
 conduct them ; or who ill-treat their horses, or who attempt to pillage, 
 or run away in case of attack. 
 
 760 The General commanding the army and the Generals of 
 
 Division will not permit any general or staff officer, or regiment under 
 their orders, or any person whatsoever, attached to their command, to 
 have more than the authorized amount or means of transportation. 
 For this purpose they will themselves make, and cause to be made, 
 frequent reviews and inspections of the trains. They will see that no 
 trooper is employed to lead a private horse, no soldier to drive a pri- 
 vate vehicle, and that no trooper is put on foot to lend his horse to an 
 officer. They will not permit the wagons of the artillery or of the train 
 to be loaded with any thing foreign to their proper service, nor any 
 public horse, for any occasion, to be harnessed to a private carriage. 
 
 E 
 
98 General Police, 
 
 761. . . .The officers of the Quartermaster's Department, the wag- 
 on-masters, and all conductors of trains, are charged with watching 
 that the regulations respecting transportation allowances are strictly- 
 observed. 
 
 GENERAL POLICE. 
 
 762. . . .When necessary, the General in chief or General of Divis- 
 ion may appoint a provost marshal to take charge of prisoners, with a 
 suitable guard, or other police force. 
 
 763 .... Private servants, not soldiers, will not be allowed to wear 
 the uniform of any corps of the army, but each will be required to 
 carry with him a certificate from the officer who employs him, veri- 
 fied, for regimenml officers, by the signature of the Colonel ; for 
 other officers under the rank of Colonel, by the chief of their corps or 
 department. 
 
 764. . . .Laundresses permitted to follow the army will be furnished 
 with certificates, signed as in the preceding paragraph, and no woman 
 of bad character will be allowed to follow the army. Other persons 
 with the army, not officers or soldiers, such as guides of the country, 
 interpreters, «S:c., will carry about them similar certificates from the 
 head-quarters that employs them. 
 
 765. . . .Deserters from the enemy, after being examined, will be 
 secured for some days, as they may be spies in disguise ; as opportu- 
 nities ofi'er, they will be sent to the rear ; after which, if they are 
 found lurking about the army, or attempting to return to the enemy, 
 they will be treated with severity. 
 
 766 .... The anns and accoutrements of deserters will be turned 
 over to the Ordnance Department, and their horses to the corps in 
 want of them, after being branded with the letters *'U. S." The 
 compensation to be accorded to deserters, for such objects, will be ac- 
 cording to appraisement, made under the direction of the Quarter- 
 master's Department. The enlistment of deserters, without express 
 permission from general head-quarters, is prohibited. 
 
 767. . . .It is forbidden to purchase horses without ascertaining the 
 right of the party to sell. Stolen horses shall be restored. Estrays, 
 in the enemy's country, when the owner is not discovered, are taken 
 for the army. 
 
 768. . . .Plundering and marauding, at all times disgraceful to sol- 
 diers, when committed on the persons or property of those whom it is 
 the duty of the army to protect, become crimes of such enormity as to 
 admit of no remission of the awful punishment which the military 
 law awards against oflfenses of this nature.

 SAFEGUARDS. 
 
 769 .... Safeguards are protections granted to persons or property 
 in foreign parts by the commanding general, or by other commanders 
 within the limits of their command. 
 
 770 .... Safeguards are usually given to protect hospitals, public 
 establishments, establishments of religion, charity, or instruction, 
 museums, depositories of the arts, mills, post-offices, and other insti- 
 tutions of public benefit ; also to individuals whom it may be the in- 
 terest of the army to respect. 
 
 771. . . .A safeguard may consist of one or more men of fidelity 
 and firmness, generally non-effective non-commissioned ofiicers, fur- 
 nished with a paper setting out clearly the protection and exemptions 
 it is intended to secure, signed by the commander giving it, and his 
 staff officer ; or it may consist of such paper, delivered to the party 
 whose person, family, house, and property it is designed to protect. 
 These safeguards must be numbered and registered. 
 
 772. . . .The men left as safeguards by one corps may be replaced 
 by another. They are withdrawn when the country is evacuated; 
 but if not, they have orders to await the arrival of the enemy's troops, 
 and apply to the commander for a safe-conduct to the outposts.

 SIEGES. H 
 
 774. . . .In the following regulations the besieging force is supposed 
 to be two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. The same 
 principles govern in other cases. 
 
100 Sieges, 
 
 775. , . .The Brigadier-Generals of infantry serve, in turn, as Gen- 
 erals of the trenches , one or more of them are detailed daily, accord- 
 ing to the front and number of attacks ; they superintend the opera- 
 tions, and dispose the guards of the trenches to repulse sorties and 
 protect the works. Officers of the general staff are assigned to them 
 to transmit their orders and attend to the details of service. 
 
 776. . . .The Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels of infantry alternate 
 for duty in the trenches ; one or more are detailed daily ; they super- 
 intend the service of the guards and workmen in the part of the 
 work to which the General of the trenches assigns them, being post- 
 ed with troops of their own regiments in preference. The command- 
 ant of the siege may place the Colonels on the roster with the Briga- 
 dier-Generals. 
 
 777.... The commandants of engineers and artillery accompany 
 the first troops before the place to examine the works and the ap- 
 proaches. When the engineers have completed the reconnaisance of 
 the works, and of each front as far as practicable, the commandant 
 of engineers makes a plan of the works as exact and detailed as pos- 
 sible, and under the instructions of the General commanding the 
 siege, draws up the general plan of the siege, and discusses it with 
 the commandant of artillery in regard to the best employment of that 
 arm. These officers then submit their joint or separate opinions to 
 the General, who decides on the j^lan of the siege, and gives the or- 
 ders for the execution. The commandant of engineers directs the 
 construction of all the works of siege, under the authority of the Gen- 
 eral, and lays before him every day a report of his operations, and a 
 plan showing the progress of the attack. The commandant of artil- 
 lery also makes daily reports to the General of all that relates to his 
 branch of the service. 
 
 778 .... The Quartermaster-General establishes the hospitals, and 
 organizes the means for transporting the wounded to them. 
 
 779 .... The commanding General appoints a field officer of the 
 trenches, who is aided by one or two Captains or Lieutenants. 
 
 780 .... The field officer of the trenches is charged with all the 
 details relative to the assembling of the guards and the workmen. 
 He distributes the guards on the different points of the attack agree- 
 ably to the orders of the General of the trenches, and forms the de- 
 tachments of workmen for the engineers and artillery ; that he may 
 be prepared for this distribution, he receives every day from the Ad- 
 jutant-Qftneral a statement of the details for the next day. 
 
 781. . . .On the arrival of the General of the trenches, the field offi- 
 cer of the trenches gives him all the information necessary to enable 
 
Sieges, 101 
 
 him to station the troops, attends him in his visit to the trenches and 
 takes his orders on the changes to be made in the position of the 
 troops. The execution is intrusted to the commandants of the 
 troops. 
 
 782 The field officer of the trenches sees that men and litters 
 
 are always ready to bring off the wounded. One or more companies 
 of the guards of the trenches are pat under his immediate orders for 
 the preservation of oi*der and police in the trenches. 
 
 783.... The divisions, brigades, regiments, and battalions are en- 
 camped during the siege in the order of battle. The service of camp 
 is conducted as heretofore prescribed. 
 
 784. . . .The infantry has two kinds of siege service — the guard of 
 the trenches and the work of the trenches. 
 
 785 . . .The guards of the trenches mount every day by battalions, 
 in such order of detail that all the troops may take an equal share, 
 and no part of the line be left too weak. If only one battalion is re- 
 quired, each division furnishes it alternately ; if two are required, 
 each division gives one ; if three, one division furnishes two, the other 
 one, alternately. The two battalions of the same division are not 
 taken from the same brigade. 
 
 786. . . .The detail for work of the trenches is by company, from all 
 the regiments at one time, or in turn, and continues generally twelve 
 hours. The detail from any regiment should never be less than a 
 company. If only half a company would be needed from all the regi- 
 ments at a time, every other regiment furnishes a full company al- 
 ternately. 
 
 787 The battalions for guard are detailed at least twelve hours 
 
 in advance ; they furnish no other details during this tour. If the 
 whole regiment is called out, it leaves a sufficient police guard in 
 camp. 
 
 788 Twenty-four hours, or twelve at least, before mounting 
 
 guard in the trenches, the battalions detailed for guard do not furnish 
 workmen ,• and the companies of these battalions whose tour it would 
 have been to work in the trenches, do not go there for twenty-four 
 hours after guard, if possible, or at the least twelve. 
 
 789. . . .The workmen who are required for other work than that of 
 the trenches are taken from the roster for fatigue from the battalions 
 and companies not employed in the trenches. 
 
 790 The battalions first for detail for guard of the trenches, and 
 
 the companies first for detail for wt)rk in the trenches, furnish no 
 other details, and are held on picket, ready to march at the call of 
 the field officer of the trenches. 
 
102 Sieges. 
 
 791 Materials for the siege, such as fascines, gabions, hurdles, 
 
 pickets, (fcc, are furnished bj the different corps, in the proportion or- 
 dered by the General. 
 
 792 .... Guards and workmen going to the trenches march without 
 beat of drum or music. 
 
 793 .... At all times, and especially on the day the trenches are 
 opened, every thing is avoided likely to attract the attention of the 
 enemy. With this view the General may vary the hour of relieving 
 guards. 
 
 794. . . .The chiefs of engineers and artillery make requisitions for 
 workmen in advance, that the details may be made in time to prevent 
 any delay in the work. They should exceed the number strictly 
 required, that there may be a reseiwe for unforeseen wants. If this 
 reserve is found insufficient, the General directs the field officer of 
 the tienches to call on the picket. 
 
 795 .... Before the guards and workmen march, the field officer of 
 the trenches arranges them so that each detachment can reach its 
 ground without confusion. The troops are posted in the trenches ac- 
 cording to the position of their regiments in the order of battle, and, 
 as far as possible, the companies of workmen in like order. The re- 
 serves of workmen are placed at the depot of the trenches, or the 
 nearest suitable place to the works. 
 
 796 The workmen leave their knapsacks and swords in camp, 
 
 and march with their firearms and cartridge-boxes, which they place 
 near them while at work. They always carry their overcoats, to cover 
 them in resting or when wounded. 
 
 79 7.... The guards always enter the trenches with arms trailed, 
 and the workmen also, unless they carry materials or tools, when the 
 arms are in the sling. 
 
 798. . . .The guards and detachments of workmen send a Corporal 
 to the openings of the trenches to guide the relief. They march out 
 of the trenches by the flank, with trailed arms. 
 
 799 Sand-bags, forming loop-holes, are placed at intervals on 
 
 the parapet to cover the sentinels ; they are more numerous than 
 the sentinels, so that the enemy may not know where the sentinels 
 are placed. 
 
 800, . . .When detachments are placed at night in advance of the 
 trenches, to cover the workmen, the men sit or lie down, with their 
 firearms in their hands, to hide themselves better from the enemy ; 
 the sentinels put their ears to the ground frequently, that they may 
 hear troops coming out of the place. To prevent mistakes, the work- 
 men are told what troops cover them. 
 
Sieges. . 103 
 
 801 No honors are paid in the trenches. When the General, 
 
 commanding the siege visits them, the guards place themselves in 
 rear of the banquette, and rest on their arms. The colors are never 
 carried to the trenches unless the whole regiment marches to, repulse 
 a sortie or make an assault. Even in this case they are not displayed 
 until the General commanding the siege gives a formal order. 
 
 802 The materials of the siege of all kinds, together v^^ith the 
 
 tools, are collected in part at the depots of the trenches, and in part 
 at the openings of the trenches, or in such other place as has been ap- 
 pointed for the convenience of the service by the field officer of the 
 trenches, on the advice of the chiefs of artillery and engineers. They 
 are in charge of officers of engineers and of artillery, with guards or 
 non-commissioned officers of both corps. But if these corps can not 
 furnish them, the chiefs apply for assistance from the infantry. 
 
 803 .... The workmen, in going to the trenches, carry such tools 
 and materials as are required by the artillery and engineers. In 
 this case, the field officer of the trenches has notice and superin- 
 tends it. 
 
 804 The soldiers sent to the trenches go with their cartridge- 
 boxes filled. Cartridges, when needed, are sent to the trenches on 
 the requisition of commanders of battalions, approved by the General 
 of the trenches. 
 
 805 .... In the case of a sortie, the guards move rapidly to the 
 places that have been designated by the General of the trenches, and 
 which aiFord the best defense for the head of the works, the batteries, 
 the communications, or the flanks, or best enable them to take the 
 sortie itself in flank or reverse. Having lined the banquette to fire on 
 the enemy, the troops form on the reverse of the trench to receive 
 him. The workmen take arms, retain their positions, or retire with 
 their tools, as ordered. The officers commanding the detachments 
 of workmen see that their movements are made promptly and in 
 good order, so as to avoid all confusion in the communications. 
 
 806 .... The troops that advance beyond the trenches to repulse 
 the sortie must not follow in pursuit. The General takes care that 
 they return to the trenches before the retreat of the sortie allows tlie 
 artillery of the place to open on them. When the workmen return, 
 the officers and non-commissioned officers of the detachments call 
 the roll without interrupting the work, which is immediately re- 
 sumed. 
 
 807. . . .Wlien it is necessary to dismount cavalry and send them to 
 the trenches, they should be employed as near their camp as possible, 
 and posted between the detachments of infantry. 
 
104 • Sieges. 
 
 808 .... Men belonging to the cavalry may, in assaults, be employed 
 in carrying fascines and other materials to fill ditches and make 
 passages. 
 
 809. .^ .The general officers of cavalry are more particularly em- 
 ployed in the sendee of posts and detachments placed in observation 
 to protect the siege. They and the field officers of this arm are em- 
 ployed in the command of escorts to convoys, of whatever arms the 
 escorts may be composed. When these duties are not sufficient to 
 employ them, they take their share of the duty of the trenches. 
 
 810.... The officers of engineers and artillery of the trenches 
 make to the General of the trenches a return of all losses in their 
 troops, and such other reports on the work as he requires, in addition 
 to the reports direct to their respective chiefs on the details of the 
 service. 
 
 811 At the end of each tour, the field officer of the trenches 
 
 draws up a report for the twenty-four hours to the general of the 
 trenches. The General of the trenches reports to the General com- 
 manding the siege. 
 
 812 The commanders of the several corj^s in the trenches re- 
 port, when relieved, to their respective head-quarters the losses dur- 
 ing the tour, and the conduct of the officers and men. 
 
 813. .. .However practicable the breach may appear, or however 
 ruined the works in rear of it, the heads of columns must always be 
 supplied with ladders to get over unexpected obstacles. 
 
 814. . . .The General commanding the siege designates picked com- 
 panies to protect property and persons, and prevent pillage and vio- 
 lence, from the moment the place is carried. The officers exert 
 themselves to restrain the men. 
 
 815. . . .The General designates the places requiring particular pro- 
 tection, such as churches, asylums, hospitals, colleges, schools, and 
 magazines. The order for their protection should remind the sol- 
 diers, at the time, of the penalty of disobeying it. 
 
 816. . . .Whether the place be taken by assault or by capitulation, 
 the provisions and military stores, and the public funds, are reserved 
 for the use of the army. 
 
 817 Tlie commander of engineers will keep a journal of the 
 
 siege, showing the operations of each day in detail, the force em- 
 ployed on the work, the kind and quantity of materials used in them, 
 &c. He will also mark on a plan of the ground the daily progress 
 of the works, and make the necessaiy drawings explanatory of their 
 construction. 
 
 818 The commander of the artillery will keep a daily journal

 of the operations under his direction, showing — the number and kind 
 of pieces in battery, the force employed in serving them, the kind and 
 quantity of ammunition expended, the number of rounds fired from 
 each piecfe of ordnance, the effect of the fire, and all other partic- 
 tllars relative to his branch of the service. 
 
 819. . . .These journals and drawings will be sent, after the siege, 
 with the report of the General, to the War Department. 
 
 DEFENSE OF FORTIFIED PLACES. 
 
 820. . . .In war, every commander of a fortified place shall always 
 hold himself prepared with his plan of defense, as if at any time 
 liable to attack. lie arranges this i)lan according to the probable 
 mode of attack ; determines the posts of the troops in the several 
 parts of the works, the reliefs, the reserves, and the details of service 
 in all the corps. He draws up instructions for a case of attack, and 
 exercises the garrison according to his plan of defense. In sea-coast 
 works, he provides the instructions for the dilferent batteries on the 
 approach of ships. 
 
 821. . . .In framing his plan, he studies the works and the exterior 
 within the radius of attack and investment, the strength of the gar- 
 rison, the artillery, the munitions of war, subsistence and supplies of 
 all kinds, and takes immediate measures to i)rocure whatever is de- 
 ficient of troops or supplies, either by requisition on the government 
 or from the means put at his disposal. 
 
 822 .... On the approach of an enemy, he removes all houses and 
 other objects, within or without the place, that cover the approaches, 
 or interrupt the fire of the guns or the movements of the troops. He 
 assures himself personally that all posterns, outlets, embrazures, &c., 
 are in proper state of security. 
 
 823. . . .He shall be furnished by the Department of War with a 
 plan of the works, showing all the details of the fortifications and of 
 the exterior within the radius of attack ; with a map of the environs 
 within the radius of investment ; with a map of the vicinity, including 
 the neighboring works, roads, water-channels, coasts, &c. ; with a me- 
 moir explaining the situation and defense of the place, and the rela- 
 tions and bearings of the several works on each other, and on the ap- 
 proaches by land and water — all which he carefully preserves, and 
 communicates only to the council of defense. 
 
 824 He consults his next in rank, and the senior officer of the 
 
 engineers and of the artillery, either separately or as a council of de- 
 fense. In the latter case he designates an officer to act as secretary 
 to the council, and to record their proceedings and their joint ox sep-

 arate opinions, which are to be kept secret daring the siege. The 
 members may record their opinions under their own signature. In all 
 cases, the commander decides on his own responsibility. 
 
 825. . . .The commander of the place, and the chiefs of (5ngineers 
 and of artillery, shall keep journals of the defense, in which shall be 
 entered, in order of date, without blank or interlineation, the orders 
 giren or received, the manner in which they are executed, their re- 
 sults, and every event and circumstance of importance in the progress 
 of the defense. These journals and the proceedings of the council of 
 defense shall be sent after the siege to the Department' of War. 
 
 826 .... There shall be kept in the office of the commandant of the 
 place, to be sent after the siege to the Department of AVar, a map of 
 the environs, a plan of the fortifications, and a special plan of the 
 front of attack, on which the chief engineer will trace, in succession, 
 the positions occupied, and the works executed by the enemy from 
 the investment; and also the works of counter approach or defense, 
 and the successive positions of the artillery and other troops of the 
 garrison during the progress of the siege. 
 
 827 The commander shall defend in succession the advanced 
 
 works, the covered way and outworks, the body of the work, and the 
 interior intrenchments. He will not be content with clearing away 
 the foot of the breaches, and defending them by abattis, mines, and 
 all the means used in sieges ; but he shall begin in good time, behind 
 the bastions or front of attack, the necessary intrenchments to resist 
 assaults on the main w^ork. 
 
 828. . . .He shall use his means of defense in such manner as al- 
 ways to have a reserve of fresh troops, chosen from his best soldiers, to 
 resist assaults, retake the outAvorks, and especially to resist the as- 
 saults on the body of the place ; and a reserve of provisions for the 
 last period of the siege, and of ammunition for the last attacks. 
 
 829. . . .He must, in every case, compel the besieging force to ap- 
 proach by the slow and successive works of siege, and must sustain at 
 least one assault on a practicable breach in the body of the place. • 
 
 830. . . .When the commander thinks that the end of the defense 
 has come, he shall still consult the council of defense on the nieans 
 that may remain to prolong the siege. But in all cases he alone will 
 decide on the time, manner, and terms of the surrender. In the ca- 
 pitulation, he shall not seek or accept better terms for himself than 
 for the garrison, but shall share their fate, and exert his best endeav- 
 ors for the care of the troops, and especially of the sick and wounded. 
 
 831. . . .No commander in the field shall withdraw^ troops or sup- 
 plies from any fortified place, or exercise any authority over its com- 
 
Troops on hoard of Transports, 107 
 
 mandant, unless it has been put subject to his orders by competent 
 authority. 
 
 ARTICLE XXXVII. 
 
 TROOPS ON BOARD OF TRANSPORTS. 
 
 832 .... Military commanders charged with the embarkation of 
 troops, and officers of the Quartermaster's Department intrusted with 
 the selection of the transports, will take care that the vessels are en- 
 tirely seaworthy and proper for such service, and that suitable ar- 
 rangements are made in them for the health and comfort of the 
 troops. 
 
 833 If, in the opinion of the officer commanding the troops to 
 
 be embarked, the vessel is not proper or suitably arranged, the officer 
 charged with the embarkation shall cause her to be inspected by com- 
 petent and experienced persons. 
 
 834. . . .Immediately after embarking, the men will be assigned to 
 quarters, equal parties on each side of the ship, and no man will be 
 allowed to loiter or sleep on the opposite side. As far as practicable, 
 the men of each company will be assigned to the same part of the 
 vessel, and the squads, in the same manner, to contiguous berths. 
 
 835. , . .Arms will be so placed, if there be no racks, as to be secure 
 from injury, and enable the men to handle them promptly — bayonets 
 unfixed and in scabbard. 
 
 836. . . .Ammunition in cartridge-boxes to be so placed as to be en- 
 tirely secure from lire ; reserve ammunition to be reported to the mas- 
 ter of the transport, with request that he designate a safe place of dc-, 
 posit. Frequent inspections will be made of the service ammunition, 
 to insure its safety and good condition. 
 
 837. . . .No officer is to sleep out of his ship, or to quit his ship, 
 without the sanction of the officer commanding on board. 
 
 838. . . .The guard will be i^roportioned to the number of sentinels 
 required. At sea the guard will mount with side-arms only. The 
 officer of the guard will be officer of the day. 
 
 839 .... Sentinels will be kept over the fires, with buckets of water 
 at hand, promptly to extinguish fires. Smoking is prohibited between 
 decks or in the cabins^ at all times ; nor shall any lights be allowed be- 
 tween decks, except such ship lanterns as the master of the transport 
 may direct, or those carried by the officer of the day in the execution 
 f his duty. 
 
 840 .... Regulations will be adopted to enable companies or messes 
 to cook in turn ; no others than those whose turn it is, will be allowed 
 to loiter around or approach the galleys or other cooking places. 
 
108 Troops on hoard of Transports. 
 
 841..., The commanding officer will make arrangements, in con- 
 cert with the master of the vessel, for calling the troops to quarters, so 
 that in case of alarm, by storm, or fire, or the approach of the enemy, 
 every man may repair promptly to his station. But he will take care 
 not to crowd the deck. The troops not wanted at the guns or to as- 
 sist the sailors, and those who can not be advantageously employed 
 with small arms, will be formed as a reserve between decks. 
 
 842. . . .All the troops will turn out at , A.M., without arms 
 
 or uniform, and (in warm weather} without shoes or stockings ; when 
 every individual will be clean, his hands, face, and feet washed, and 
 his hair combed. The same personal inspection will be repeated thirty 
 minutes before sunset. The cooks alone may be exempted from one 
 of these inspections per day, if necessary. 
 
 843 Recruits or awkward men will be exercised in the morning 
 
 and evening in the use of arms, an hour each time, when the weath- 
 er will permit. 
 
 844. . . .Officers will enforce cleanliness as indispensable to health. 
 When the weather will permit, bedding will be brought on deck ev- 
 ery morning for airing. Tubs may be fixed on the forecastle for 
 bathing, or the men may be placed in the chains and have buckets of 
 water thrown over them. 
 
 845. . . .Between decks yv'iM not be washed oftener than once a week, 
 and only when the wxather is fine. The boards of the lower berths 
 will be removed once or twice a week to change the straw. Under 
 the direction of the Surgeon and the officer of the day, frequent 
 
 , fumigations will be performed between decks. The materials re- 
 quired are — common salt, four ounces; powdered oxide of man- 
 ganese, one ounce; sulphuric acid, one ounce, diluted with two 
 ounces of water. The diluted acid is poured over the other ingre- 
 dients in a basin placed in a hot sand-bath. Solutions of chloride of 
 lime and chloride of zinc are excellent disinfecting agents. 
 
 846. . . .During voyages in hot weather, the master of the vessel 
 will be desired to provide wind-sails, w^hich will be kept constantly 
 hung up, and frequently examined, to see that they draw well and 
 are not obstructed. 
 
 847. . . .During cooking hours, the officers of companies visit the 
 camboose, and see that the messes are well prepared. The coppers 
 and other cooking utensils are to be regularly and well washed, both 
 before and after use. 
 
 848 .... The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, or at 
 an earlier hour when there is a prospect of bad weather ; and at tattoo 
 ^yery man not on duty will be in his berth. To insure the execution 
 
Troops on hoard of Transports, 109 
 
 of this regulation, the officer of the day, with a lantern, will make a 
 tour between decks. 
 
 849 .... Lights will be extinguished at tattoo^ except such as are 
 placed under sentinels. The officer of the day will see to it, and re- 
 port to the commanding officer. The officers' lights will be extin- 
 guished at 10 o'clock, unless special permission be given to continue 
 them for a longer time, as in case of sickness or other emergency. 
 
 850. ...For the sake of exercise, the troops will be occasionally 
 called to quarters by the beat to anus. Those appointed to the guns 
 will be frequently exercised in the use of them. The arms and ac- 
 coutrements will be frequently inspected. The metallic parts of the 
 former will be often wiped and greased again. 
 
 851 The men will not be allowed to sleep on deck in hot 
 
 weather or in the sun ; they will be encouraged and required to take 
 exercise on deck, in squads by succession, when necessary. 
 
 852. . . .At morning and evening parades, the Surgeon will exam- 
 ine the men, to observe whether there be any appearance of disease. 
 
 853 The sick will, as far as practicable, be separated from the 
 
 healthy men. On the first appearance of malignant contagion, a sig- 
 nal will be made for the hospital vessel (if there be one in company), 
 and the diseased men removed to her. 
 
 854.... A good supply of hospital stores and medicines will he 
 taken on each vessel, and used only for the sick and convalescent. 
 
 855 The Surgeon will guard the men against costiveness on ap- 
 proaching a hot climate. In passing through the West Indies, to the 
 southern coast for instance, and for some weeks after landing in 
 those latitudes, great care is required in the use of fruit, as strangers 
 would not be competent to judge of it, and most kinds, after long voy- 
 ages, are prejudicial. 
 
 856. . . .In harbor, where there is no danger from sharks, the men 
 may bathe; but not more than ten at a time, and attended by a boat. 
 
 857. . . .In fitting up a vessel for the transportation of horses, care 
 is to be taken that the requisite arrangements are made for conven- 
 iently feeding and cleaning them, and to secure them from injury in 
 rough weather by ropes attached to breast-straps and breeching, or 
 by other suitable means ; and especially that proper ventilation is pro- 
 vided by openings in the upper deck, wind-sails, &c. The ventilation 
 of steamers may be assisted by using the engine for that purpose. 
 
 858 .... Horses should not be put on board after severe exercise or 
 when heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings should be made 
 fast to a hook at the end of the fall, or the knot tied by an expert 
 seaman, so that it may be well secui'ed and easily loosened. The 
 
 ■ 
 
110 Courts-martial, 
 
 horse should be run up quickly, to prevent him from pkmging, and 
 should be steadied by guide ropes. A halter is placed on him before 
 he is lifted from the ground. 
 
 859 On board, care is to be taken that the horses are not over- 
 fed ; bran should /orm part of their ration. The face, eyes, and nos- 
 trils of each horse are to be washed at the usual stable hours, and, oc- 
 casionally, the mangers should be washed and the nostrils of the 
 horses sponged with vinegar and water. 
 
 8G0. . . .In loading vessels with stores for a military expedition, the 
 cargo of each should be composed of an assortment of such stores as 
 may be available for service in case of the non- arrival of others, and 
 they should be placed on board in such a manner that they may be 
 easily reached, in the order in which they are required for service. 
 Each store-ship should be marked, at the bow and stern, on both sides, 
 in large characters, with a distinctive letter and number. A list is to 
 be made of the stores on board of each vessel, and of the place where 
 they are to be found in it ; a copy of this list to be sent to the chief 
 officer of the proper department in the expedition, or at the place of 
 destination.

 number that can be assembled without manifest injury to the service, 
 is conclusive. 
 
 863 .... A President of the court will not be appointed. The officer 
 highest in rank present will be President.

 By order of , commanding . 
 
 , Assistant Adjutant-General. 
 
 8G5....In the detail the members will be named, and they will 
 take place in the court, in the order of their rank. A decision of the 
 proper authority in regard to the rank of the members can not be re- 
 versed by the court. 
 
 8G6 The place of holding a court is appointed by the authority 
 
 convening it. 
 
 8G7 AppHcation for delay or postponement of trial must, when 
 
 practicable, be made to the authority convening the court. When 
 made to the court, it must be before plea, and will then, if in the 
 opinion of the comt well founded, be referred to the authority con- 
 yening the court, to decide whether the court should be adjourned or 
 dissolved, and the charges reserved for another court. 
 
 868. . . .Upon application by the accused for postponement on the 
 ground of the absence of a witness, it ought distinctly to appear on 
 his oath, 1st. that the witness is material, and how ; 2d. that the ac- 
 cused has used due diligence to procure his attendance ; and, 3d. that 
 he has reasonable ground to believe, and does believe, that he will be 
 able to procure such attendance within a reasonable time stated. 
 
 809.... The President of a court-martial, besides his duties and 
 privileges as member, is the organ of the court, to keep order and con- 
 duct its business. He speaks and acts for the court in each case where 
 the rule has been prescribed by law, regulation, or its own resolution. 
 In all their deliberations the law secures the equality of the members. 
 
 870. . . .The 7Gth Article of War does not confer on a court-mar- 
 tial the power to punish its own members. For disorderly conduct, a 
 member is liable as in other offenses against military discipline ; im- 
 proper words are to be taken down, and any disorderly conduct of a 
 member reported to the authority convening the court. 
 
 871 .... The Judge Advocate shall summon the necessary witnesses 
 
 for the trial; but he shall not summon any witness at the expense of 
 
 the United States, nor any officer of the army, without the order of the 
 
 court, unless satisfied that his testimony is material and necessary to 
 
 g.tho ends of justice. 
 
 872 Every court-martial shall keep a complete and accurate 
 
 record of its proceedings, to be authenticated by the signatures of the 
 
 ■ 
 
112 Courts-Martial 
 
 President and Judge Advocate ; who shall also certify, in like man>. 
 ner, the sentence pronounced by the court in each case. The record 
 must show, that the court was organized as the law requires ; that the 
 court and Judge Advocate were duly sworn in the presence of the 
 prisoner; that he was previously asked whether he had any objection 
 to any member, and his answer thereto. A copy of the order ap- 
 pointing the court will be entered on the record in each case. 
 
 873. . . .Whenever the same court-martial tries more prisoners than 
 one, and they are arraigned on separate and distinct charges, the 
 court is to be sworn at the commencement of each trial, and the pro- 
 ceedings in each case will be made up separately. 
 
 874. . . .The record shall be clearly and legibly written; as far as 
 practicable, without erasures or interlineations. The pages to be 
 numbered, with a margin of one inch on the left side of each page, 
 and at the top of the odd and bottom of the even pages ; through this 
 last margin the sheets to be stitched together; the documents accom- 
 panying the proceedings to be noted and marked in such manner as 
 to afford an easy reference. 
 
 875. . . .No recommendation will be embraced in the body of the 
 sentence. Those members only who concur in the recommendation 
 will sign it. 
 
 876. . . .The legal punishments for soldiers by sentence of a court- 
 martial according to the offense, and the jurisdiction of the court, 
 are — death ; corporal punishment by flogging ; confinement ; confine- 
 ment on bread and water diet ; solitary confinement ; hard labor ; ball 
 and chain ; forfeiture of pay and allowances ; discharges from service ; 
 and reprimands. Solitary confinement, or confinement on bread and 
 water, shall not exceed fourteen days at a time, with intervals be- 
 tween the periods of such confinement not less than such periods ; and 
 notexceeding eighty-four days in any one year. 
 
 877 The Judge Advocate shall transmit the proceedings, with- 
 out delay, to the officer having authority to confirm the sentence, who 
 shall state, at the end of the proceedings in each case, his decision 
 and orders thereon. 
 
 878 The original proceedings of all general courts-martial, 
 
 after the decision on them of the reviewing authority, and all pro- 
 ceedings that require the decision of the President under the 65th 
 and 89th Articles of War, and copies of all orders confirming or dis- 
 approving, or remitting the sentences of courts-martial, and all 
 official communications for the Judge Advocate of the army, will 
 be addressed to " Hie Adjutant- General of the Army, War Department,'" 
 marked on the cover. ^^ Judge Advocate."

 879. . . .The proceedings of garrison and regimental courts-mar- 
 tial will be transmitted without delay by the garrison or regimental 
 commander to the department head-quarters for the supervision of 
 tlie department commander. 
 
 880. . . .The power to pardon or mitigate the punishment ordered 
 by a court-martial is vested in the authority confirming the proceed- 
 ings, and in the President of the United States. A superior military 
 commander to the officer confirming the proceedings may suspend 
 the execution of the sentence when, in his judgment, it is void upon 
 the face of the proceedings, or when he sees a fit case for executive 
 clemency. In such cases, the record, with his order prohibiting the 
 execution, shall bo transmitted for the final orders of the President. 
 
 881.... When a court-martial or court of inquiry adjourns with- 
 out day, the members will return to their respective posts and duties 
 unless otherwise ordered. 
 
 882. . . .When a court adjourns for three days, the Judge Advocate 
 shall report the fact to the commander of the post or troops, and the 
 members belonging to the command will be liable to duty during the 
 time. 
 
 ARTICLE XXXIX. 
 
 WORKING -PAR TIES. 
 
 883. . . .When it is necessary to employ the army at work on forti- 
 fications, in surv^eys, in cutting roads, and other constant labor of not 
 less than ten days, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers so em- 
 ployed are enrolled as extra-duty men, and are allowed twenty-five 
 cents a day when employed as laborers and teamsters, and forty cents 
 a day when employed as mechanics, at all stations east of the Rocky 
 Mountains, and thirty-five and fifty cents per day, respectively, at all 
 stations west of those mountains. 
 
 884. . . .Enlisted men of the Ordnance and Engineer Departments, 
 and artificers of artillery, are not entitled to this allowance when em- 
 ployed in their appropriate work. 
 
 885 .... Soldiers will not be employed as extra-duty men for any 
 labor in camp or garrison which can properly be performed by fatigue 
 parties. 
 
 886 .... No extra-duty men, except those required for the ordinary 
 sers'ice of the Quartermaster, Commissary, and Medical Departments, 
 and saddlers in mounted companies, will be employed without pre- 
 vious authority from department head-quarters, excej)t in case of ne- 
 cessity, which shall be promptly reported to the department com- 
 mander. 
 
114 Working-Parties . . . .Public Property, ^c. 
 
 887. . . .Extra-duty pay of the saddler in a mounted company will 
 be charged on the company muster-roll, to be paid by the Paymaster 
 and refunded hy the Ordnance Department. Extra-duty pay of cooks 
 and nurses in the hospital service will be paid by the quartermaster, 
 in the absence of a medical disbursing officer, and refunded by the 
 Medical Department. 
 
 888. . . .The officer commanding a working-party will conform to 
 the directions and plans of the engineer or other officer directing the 
 work, without regard to rank. 
 
 889 A day's work shall not exceed ten hours in summer, nor 
 
 eight in winter. Soldiers are paid in proportion for any greater 
 number of hours they are employed each day. Summer is consider- 
 ed to commence on the 1st of April, and winter on the 1st of Octo- 
 ber. 
 
 890. ...Although the necessities of the service may require sol- 
 diers to be ordered on working-parties as a duty, commanding offi- 
 cers are to bear in mind that fitness for military sen-ice by instruction 
 and discipline is the object for which the army is kept on foot, and 
 that they are not to employ the troops when not in the field, and es- 
 pecially the mounted troops, in labors that interfere with their mili- 
 tary duties and exercises, except in case of immediate necessity, 
 which shall be forthwith reported for the orders of the War Depart- 
 ment.

 891. . . .All officers of the Pay, Commissary, and Quartermaster's 
 Departments, and military store-keepers, shall, previous to their enter-

 property which they may receive, in such sums as the Secretary of War 
 shall direct ; and the officers aforesaid shall renew their bonds every 
 four years, and oftener if the Secretary of War shall so require, and

 for immediate use, and drawing the same in convenient sums as 
 wanted. 
 
 895. ...No public funds shall be exchanged except for gold and 
 silver. When the funds furnished are gold and silver, all payments 
 shall be in gold and silver. When the funds furnished are drafts,

 he is authorized by the preceding article to take in exchange, the 
 full amount specified in such receipt or voucher ; and every such act 
 shall be deemed to be a conversion to his own use of the amount 
 specified in such receipt or voucher. And no officer in the military 
 service charged with the safe-keeping, transfer, or disbursement of 
 public money, shall convert to his own use, or invest in any kind of 
 merchandise or property, or loan with or without interest, or deposit 
 in any bank, or exchange for other funds, except as allowed in the 
 preceding article, any public money intrusted to him ; and every such 
 act shall be deemed to be a felony and an embezzlement of so much 
 money as may be so taken, converted, invested, used, loaned, depos- 
 ited, or exchanged. (Act August 6, 1846.) 
 
 897. . . -Any officer who shall directly or indirectly sell or dispose 
 of, for a premium, any Treasury note, draft, warrant, or other public 
 security in his hands for disbursement, or sell or dispose of the pro- 
 ceeds or avails thereof without making returns of such premium and 
 accounting therefor by charging it in his accounts to the credit of the 
 United States, will forthwith be dismissed by the President. (Act 
 August 6, 1846.)

 cer. If the expenditure is disallowed, it shall be charged to the offi- 
 cer who ordered it. 
 
 910 Disbursing officers, when they have the money, shall pay 
 
 cash and not open an account. Heads of bureaus shall take care, by 
 timely remittances, to obviate the necessity of any purchases on credit. 
 
 911. . . .When a disbursing officer is relieved, he shall certify the 
 outstanding debts to his successor, and transmit an account of the

 and report to him, subject to his approval, what disposition the public 
 interest requires to be made of it ; which he shall cause to be made, 
 and report the case to the proper bureau of the War Department for 
 the information of the Secretary of War. These cases of necessity

 special inspection as may have been directed in the case, and ordered 
 for sale, shall be sold for cash at auction, on due public notice, and in 
 such market as the public interest may require. The officer making 
 the sale will bid in and suspend the sale when, in his opinion, better 
 prices may be got. Expenses of the sale will be paid from its pro- 
 ceeds. The auctioneer's certified account of the sales in detail, and 
 the vouchers for the expenses of the sale, will be reported to the 
 chief of the department to which the property belonged. The net

 quality with the invoice, they will be examined by a board of survey,

 and forwarding officer, and to the officer authorized to pay the trans- 
 portation account. Damages recovered from the carrier or other 
 i^arty liable, will be refunded to the proper department.

 money, the commanding officer shall appoint a board of survey to

 bureau of the War Department, and he shall designate an officer to 
 take charge of the said property or money till orders in the case are 
 received from the proper authority. 
 
 934. ...When an officer in charge of pubhc property is removed 
 from the care of it, the commanding officer shall designate an officer 
 to receive it, or take charge of it himself, till a successor be regularly 
 appointed. AYhere no officer can remain to receive it, the command- 
 ing officer will take suitable means to secure it, and report the facts 
 to the proper authority. 
 
 935 .... Every officer having public money to account for, and fail- 
 ing to render his account thereof quarter-yearly, with the vouchers 
 necessary to its correct and prompt settlement, within three months 
 after the expiration of the quarter if resident in the United States, 
 and within six months if resident in a foreign country, will be prompt- 
 ly dismissed by the President, unless he shall explain the default to 
 the satisfaction of the President. (Act January 31, 1823.)

 tion of the Secretary of War, designate, as far as practicable, the 
 places where the principal contracts and purchases shall be made and 
 supplies procured for distribution. 
 
 940 All iDurchases and contracts for supplies or services for the 
 
 army, except personal services, when the public exigencies do not re- 
 quire the immediate delivery of the article or performance of the 
 sen'ice, shall be made by advertising a sufficient time previously for 
 proposals respecting the same. 
 
 941.... The officer advertising for proposals shall, when the in-

 tisements shall be sent to the bureau.

 ARTICLE XLII. 
 
 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. 
 SUPPLIES. 
 
 1059 .... Subsistence stores for the army, unless in particular and 
 urgent cases the Secretary of War shall otherwise direct, shall be pro- 
 cured by contract, to be made by the Commissary-General on public 
 notice, to be delivered on inspection in the bulk, and at such places 
 as shall be stipulated ; the inspector to give duplicate inspection cer- 
 tificates (see Form No. 15), and to be a legal inspector where there is 
 such officer. 
 
 lOGO .... Purchases, to supply such corps and posts as by reason of 
 their position, the climate, or for other sufficient cause the Secretary 
 of War may specially direct to be supplied in that way, will be made 
 in open market, on public notice, from the lowest bidder who pro- 
 duces the proper article. 
 
 1061.... And whenever a deficiency of subsistence stores makes 
 it necessary to buy them, the commissary, where they are needed, will 
 make a requisition for that purpose on the proper purchasing com- 
 missary, or buy them himself of good quality corresponding with the 
 contract. 
 
 1062. . . .AVhen subsistence is received under contract, the commis- 
 sary will receipt for it on the inspection certificates (see Form No. 15). 
 He will deliver one of these to the contractor, and forward the other 
 to the Commissary-General, with a report on the quality of the pro- 
 visions and the condition of the packages. 
 
 1063. . . .Whenever subsis^nce stores are purchased, the advertise- 
 ments and bids, and a copy of the bill of purchase, with a statement 
 of the cause of purchase, will be forwarded by the purchasing officer 
 to the Commissary-General. This rule does not apply to the ordinary 
 purchase of hospital supplies. Pork, salt beef, and flour must be in- 
 spected before purchase by a legal inspector where there is such offi- 
 cer. Duplicate certificates of inspection (see Form No. 15) will be 
 taken as subvouchcrs to the vouchers for the payment. 
 
 1064. . . .Fresh beef, when it can be procured, shall be furnished 
 as often as the commanding officer may order, at least twice a week, 
 to be procured by the commissary, when practicable, by contract. 
 (For form of contract and bond, see Forms 20 and 21.) When beef 
 is taken on the hoof, it will be accounted for on the provision return 
 by the numlier of cattle and their estimated weight. When the pas- 
 
 I 
 
 l^ft by th 
 
206 Subsistence Department, 
 
 ture is insufficient, hay, corn, and other forage will be procured fof 
 public cattle. 
 
 1665. . . .Good and sufficient store-room for the subsistence stores 
 will be procured by the commissary from the quartermaster. Care 
 shall be taken to keep the store-rooms dry and ventilated. Packages 
 shall be so stored as to allow circulation of air among and beneath 
 them. The flour should occasionally be rolled out into the air. 
 
 1066 .... Before submitting damaged commissary stores to boards 
 of suiTey, the commissary shall separate and repack sound parts. 
 
 1067. . . .Wastage on issues, or from evaporation or leakage, will be 
 ascertained quarterly, or when it can be most conveniently ; and the 
 actual wastage thus found will be charged on the monthly return. 
 Loss, from Mhatever cause, exceeding ordinary waste, must be ac- 
 counted for by the certificate of an officer, or other satisfactory evi- 
 dence. Ordinary waste on issues should not exceed, say 10 per cent, 
 on pork, bacon, sugar, vinegar, and soap; and 5 per cent, on hard 
 bread, beans, rice, coffee, and salt. 
 
 1068. . . .No wastage is admitted on issues of fresh beef furnished 
 the company, detachment, or regim.ent directly from the butcher. 
 But in beef on the hoof, eiTors in estimated weight, and losses on 
 cattle strayed or stolen, will be accounted for by the certificate of an 
 officer, or other satisfactory evidence. Yfhen cattle are transferred, 
 they should be appraised, and loss in weight reported as wastage by 
 the officer delivering them. Fair wastage in transportation of stores 
 is accounted for by the receiving officer. 
 
 THE RATION. 
 
 1069. . . .The ration is three fourths of a pound of pork or bacon, 
 or one and a fourth pounds of fresh or salt beef ; eighteen ounces of 
 bread or flour, or twelve ounces of hard bread, or one and a fourth 
 pounds corn meal ; and at the rate, to one hundred rations, of eight 
 quarts of peas or beans, or, in lieu thereof, ten pounds of rice ; six 
 pounds coffee ; twelve pounds sugar ; four quarts of vinegar ; one and 
 a half pounds of tallow, or one and a fourth pounds adamantine, or 
 one pound sperm candles ; four pounds of soap, and two quarts of salt. 
 
 1070 . . . .The annexed table shows the quantity of each part of the 
 ration in any number of rations from one to ten thousand. 
 
 1071. . . .On a campaign, or on marches, or on board of transports, 
 the ration of hard bread is one pound. 
 
 ISSUES. 
 
 1072 .... Eetnrns for issues to companies will, when practicable, be 
 
I 
 
 Subsistence Department. 207 
 
 consolidated for the post or regiment (see Form 14). At the end of 
 the month, the issuing commissary will make duplicate abstracts of 
 the issues, which the commanding officer will compare with the orig- 
 inal returns, and certify (see Form 2). This abstract is a voucher 
 of the issue for the monthly return. 
 
 1073. . . .Issues to the hospital will be on returns by the medical 
 officer, for such provisions only as are actually required for the sick 
 and the attendants. The cost of such parts of the ration as are issued 
 will be charged to the hospital at contract or cost prices, and the 
 hospital will be credited by the whole number of complete rations due 
 through the month at contract or cost prices (see Note 7) ; the bal- 
 ance, constituting the Hospifal Fund, or any portion of it, may be ex- 
 pended by the commissary, on the requisition of the medical officer, 
 in the purchase of any article for the subsistence or comfort of the 
 sick, not authorized to be otherwise furnished (see Form 3). At 
 large depots or general hospitals, this fund may be partly expended 
 for the benefit of dependent posts or detachments, on requisitions ap- 
 proved by the medical director or senior Surgeon of the district. On 
 the 1st of January, each year, one fourth of every hospital fund if 
 less than $150, and one half if more, will be dropped by the commis- 
 sary from the fund (Form 3), and will be paid over to the Treasurer 
 of the Military Asjdum by the Commissary-General. 
 
 1074. ...The articles purchased for the hospital, as well as those 
 issued from the subsistence store-house, will be included in the Sur- 
 geon's certificate of issues to the hospital, and borne on the monthly 
 return of provisions received and issued. Vouchers for purchases for 
 the hospital must either be certified by the Surgeon or accompanied 
 by his requisition. 
 
 1075. . . .Abstracts of the issues to the hospital will be made by the 
 commissary, certified by the Surgeon, and countersigned by the com- 
 manding officer (see Form 3). 
 
 1076. ...In order that the authorized women of companies may 
 draw their rations while temporarily separated from their companies, 
 the officer commanding the company must make a report to the com- 
 manding officer of the post where tlie women may be left, designating 
 such as ai-e to draw rations as attached to his company. Their ra- 
 tions are not commuted, and they can only draw them at a military 
 post or station where there are supplies. 
 
 1077. . . .When provisions can be spared from the military supplies, 
 commanding officers have discretion to order issues to Indians visit- 
 ing military posts on the frontiers, or in their respective nations, and 
 to order sales of subsistence to Indian agents for issues to Indians. 
 
208 Subsistence Department, 
 
 The returns for issues, where there is no Indian agent, will be signed 
 by the commanding officer. The sales will be for cash, at cost, in- 
 cluding all expenses ; to be entered on the monthly return, and cred- 
 ited on the quarterly account current. 
 
 1078. .. Issues to volunteers and imlitla., to sailors^ to marines, to 
 citizens employed by any of the departments, or to Indians, will be en- 
 tered on separate abstracts to the monthly return. 
 
 1079 . . . .An extra issue of fifteen pounds of tallow or ten of sperm 
 candles, per month, may be made to the principal guard of each camp 
 and garrison, on the order of the commanding officer. Extra issues 
 of soap, candles, and vinegar, are permitted to- the hospital when the 
 Surgeon does not avail himself of the Commutation of the hospital 
 rations, or when there is no hospital fund; salt in small quantities 
 may be issued for public horses and cattle. When the officers of the 
 Medical Department find anti-scorbutics necessary for the health of 
 the troops, the commanding officer may order issues of fresh vegeta- 
 bles, pickled onions, sour krout, or molasses, with an extra quantity 
 of rice and vinegar. (Potatoes are usually issued at the rate of one 
 pound per ration, and onions at the rate of three bushels in lieu of 
 one of beans.) Occasional issues (extra) of molasses are made — two 
 quarts to one hundred rations — and of dried apples of from one to one 
 and a half bushels to one hundred rations. Troops at sea are recom- 
 mended to draw rice and an extra issue of molasses in lieu of beans. 
 When anti-scorbutics are issued, the medical officer will certify the 
 necessity, and the circumstances v/hich cause it, upon the abstract of 
 extra issues (see Form 4). 
 
 1080 .... When men leave their company, the rations they have 
 drawn, and left with it, will be deducted from the next return for the 
 company ; a like rule when men are discharged from the hospital 
 will govern the hospital return. 
 
 EECRUITING SERVICE. 
 
 1081. . . .When subsistence can not be issued by the Commissariat 
 to recruiting parties, it will be procured by the officer in charge, on 
 written contracts for complete rations, or wholesome board and lodg- 
 ing (see Form 19). 
 
 1082 .... The contractor will send monthly or quarterly, as he may 
 choose, his account for rations issued, to the Commissary-General for 
 payment, vouched by the abstract of issues (Form 17) certified by the 
 officer. 
 
 1083. . . .When convenience and economy require that the contract 
 shall be for board and lodging, the officer in charge shall estimate the 
 
Subsistence Department, 209 
 
 cost of the ration, for which the contractor shall be paid as before di- 
 rected, and shall pay the amount due to lodging from the recruiting 
 fund. 
 
 1084 At temporary rendezvous, advertising may be dispensed 
 
 with, and a contract made conditioned to be terminated at the pleas- 
 ure of the officer or the Commissary-General. 
 
 1085. . . .The recruiting officer will be required, when convenient, 
 to receive and disburse the funds for the subsistence of his party, and 
 to render his accounts quarterly to the Commissary -General. 
 
 1086. . . .When a contract can not be made, the recruiting officer 
 may pay the necessary expenses of subsisting and boarding his party. 
 
 1087. . . .The expenses of subsistence at branch rendezvous, and all 
 expenses of advertising for proposals, will be paid by the contractor at 
 the principal station, and included in his accounts. 
 
 1088. . . .Issues of provisions will be made on the usual provision 
 returns, and board will be furnished on a return showing the number 
 of the party, the days, and dates. 
 
 SUBSISTENCE TO OFFICERS. 
 
 1089.... An officer may draw subsistence stores, paying cash for 
 them at contract or cost prices, without including cost of tfl,nsporta- 
 tion, on his certificate that they are for his own use and the use of his 
 family. These certified lists the commanding officer shall compare 
 with the monthly abstracts of sales, which he shall countersign (see 
 Form 5). The commissary will enter the sales on his monthly re- 
 turn, and credit the money in his quarterly account current. 
 
 BACK RATIONS. 
 
 1090. . . .When the supplies warrant it, back rations may be drawn, 
 ; if the full rations could not have been issued at the time ; except 
 
 when soldiers have been sufficiently subsisted in lieu of the ration. 
 I- The return for back rations shall set out the facts, and the precise 
 'time when rations were not issued, or the troops otherwise sufficiently 
 
 subsisted, which shall appear on the abstract of issues. 
 
 COMMUTATION OF RATIONS. 
 
 1091. . . .When a soldier is detached on duty, and it is impractica- 
 , ble to carry his subsistence with him, it will be commuted at seventy- 
 five cents a day, to be paid by the commissary when due, or in ad- 
 vance, on the order of the commanding officer. The officer detach- 
 ' ing the soldier will certify, on the voucher, that it is impracticable for 
 him to carry his rations, and the voucher will show on its face the na- 
 
210 Subsistence Department 
 
 tiire and extent of the duty the soldier was ordered to perform (see 
 Form 18). 
 
 1092. . . .The expenses of a soldier placed temporarily in a private 
 hospital, on the advice of the senior Surgeon of the post or detach- 
 ment, sanctioned by the commanding officer, will be paid by the Sub- 
 sistence Department, not to exceed seventy-five cents a day. 
 
 1093 The ration of a soldier stationed in a city, with no oppor- 
 tunity of messing, will be commuted at forty cents. The rations of 
 the non-commissioned regimental staff and ordnance sergeants, when 
 they have no op])ortunity of messing, and of soldiers on furlough, or 
 stationed w^here rations can not be issued in kind, may be commuted 
 at the cost or value of the ration at the post. 
 
 1094. . . .When a soldier on duty has necessarily paid for his ov/n 
 subsistence, he may be refunded the cost of the ration. When more 
 than the cost of the ration is claimed, the account must be submitted 
 to the Commissaiy-General. 
 
 EXTRA-DUTY MEN. 
 
 1095. ...The commanding officer will detail a suitable non-com- 
 missioned officer or soldier for extra duty, under the orders of the 
 commisJR-y, and to be exempt from ordinary company and garrison 
 duty. All extra-duty men employed in the Commissariat will be 
 paid the regulated allowance (see Article XXXIX.) by the commis- 
 sary, if not paid extra pay in any other department. 
 
 1096. . . .Barrels, boxes, hides, &c., will be sold, and the proceeds 
 credited in the quarterly account cvu-rent.

 1097. . . .The following are the accounts and returns to be render- 
 ed to the Commissary-General :

 2. Armorers, carriage-makers, and blacksmiths, of the Ordnance 
 Department, are entitled to one and a half rations per day ; all other 
 enlisted men, one ration. Laundresses, one ration. No hired per- 
 son shall araw more than one ration. 
 
 3. One ration a day may be issued to any person employed with 
 the army, when the terms of his engagement require it, or on paying

 ARTICLE XLIII. 
 
 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 
 
 1104. . . .The medical supplies for the army are prescribed in the 
 standard supply table. 
 
 1105. ...The senior medical officer of each hospital or post will 
 make requisitions for the supplies required for the ensuing year, in 
 duplicate (Form 1), on the Surgeon-General, who will transmit them, 
 with his instructions, to the medical purveyors. The requisitions will 
 be made on the 30th June for the posts on the upper lakes, on the 
 upper Mississippi, and west of that river ; for other posts, on the 30th 
 September. Good vaccine matter will be kept on hand by timely req- 
 uisition on the Surgeon-General. 
 
 1106. ...Medical purveyors will furnish medical supplies only on 
 the order of the Surgeon-General, or on a special requisition (Form 2) 
 approved by a medical director, or, in particular and urgent cases, by 
 a commanding officer ; a like authority will be required in transfers 
 of medical supplies. 
 
 1107. ...When it is necessary to purchase medical supplies, and 
 recourse can not be had to a medical disbursing officer, they may be 
 procured by the quartermaster on a special requisition (Form 2) and 
 account (Form 3). 
 
 1108. . . .\Yhen any requisition for medical supplies is not accord- 
 ing to the supply table, the reason therefor must be set out. 
 
 1109. . . .In every case of special requisition, a duplicate of the req- 
 niaition shall, at the same time, be transmitted to the Surgeon-Gen- 
 eral. 
 
 1110. . . .Medical purveyors will make to the Surgeon- General, at 
 the end of each fiscal quarterj returns in duplicate (Form 4) of medi- 
 cal supplies received, issued, and remaining on hand, stating to whom 
 or from whom, and where issued or received ; other medical officers 
 in charge of medical supplies make similar returns of them annually, 
 on the 31st December; and all officers when relieved from the duty 
 to which their returns relate. The returns will show the condition 
 of the stores, and particularly of the instruments, bedding, and fur- 
 niture. 
 
 11 11.... An officer transferring medical supplies will furnish a 
 certified invoice to the officer who is to receive them, and transmit a 
 duplicate of it to the Surgeon-General. The receiving officer will 
 transmit duplicate receipts to the Surgeon-General, with a report of 
 the quality and condition of the supplies, and report the same to the 
 issuing officer. A medical officer who turns over medical supplies to 
 
h 
 
 Medical Department. ^43 
 
 a quartermaster for storage or transportation, will forward to the 
 Surgeon-General, with the invoice, the quartermaster's receipt for the 
 packages. 
 
 1112. . . .Medical officers will take up and account for all medical 
 supplies of the army that come into their possession, and report, when 
 they know it, to whose account they are to be credited. 
 
 1113. .. .In all official lists of medical supplies the articles will be 
 entered in the order of the supply table. 
 
 IIU. . . .]Medical disbursing officers will, at the end of each fiscal 
 quarter, render to the Surgeon-General, in duplicate, a quarterly ac- 
 count current of moneys received and expended, with the proper 
 vouchei*s for the payments, and certificates that the services have 
 been rendered, and the supplies purchased and received for the med- 
 ical service, and transmit to him an estimate of the funds required 
 for the next quarter. 
 
 1115. . . .The senior medical officer of a hospital will distribute the 
 patients, according to convenience and the nature of their com- 
 plaints, into wards or divisions, under the particular charge of the 
 several assistant surgeons, and will visit them himself each day, as 
 frequently as the state of the sick may require, accompanied by the 
 assistant, ward -master, and nurse. 
 
 lUG. . . .His prescriptions of medicine and diet are written down 
 at once in the proper register, with the name of the patient and the 
 number of his bed ; the assistants fill up the diet table for the day, 
 and direct the administration of the prescribed medicines. He will 
 detail an assistant surgeon to remain at the hospital day and night, 
 when the state of the sick requires it. 
 
 1117. .. .In distributing the duties of his assistants, he will ordina- 
 rily require the aid of one in the care and preparation of the hospital 
 reports, registers, and records, the rolls, and descriptive lists ; and of 
 another in the charge of the dispensaiy, instruments, medicines, hos- 
 pital expenditures, and the preparation of the requisitions and annual 
 returns. 
 
 1118. . . .He will enforce the proper hospital regulations to promote 
 health and prevent contagion, by ventilated and not crowded rooms, 
 scrupulous cleanliness, frequent changes of bedding, linen, &c. 
 
 1119. . . .He will require the steward to take due care of the hospi- 
 tal stores and supplies ; to enter in a book, daily (Form 5), the issues 
 to the ward-masters, cooks, and nurses ; to prepare the provision re- 
 turns, and receive and distribute the rations. 
 
 1120 He will require the ward-master to take charge of the 
 
 effects of the patients ; to register them in a book (Form 6) ; to have 
 
244 Medical Department 
 
 them numbered and labeled with the patient's name, rank, and com- 
 pany ; to receive from the steward the furniture, bedding, cooking 
 utensils, «&c., for use, and keep a record of them (Form 7), and how 
 distributed to the wards and kitchens ; and once a week to take 
 an inventory of the articles in use, and report to him any loss or 
 damage to them, and to return to the steward what are not required 
 for use. 
 
 1121, . . .The cooks and nurses are under the orders of the ward- 
 master ; he is responsible for the cleanliness of the wards and kitch- 
 ens, patients and attendants, and all articles in use. He will ascer- 
 tain who are present at sunrise, and sunset, and tattoo, and report ab- 
 sentees. 
 
 1122. .. .At surgeon's call the sick then in the companies will be 
 conducted to the hospital by the first sergeants, who will each hand 
 to the surgeon, in his company book, a list of all the sick of the com- 
 pany, on which the surgeon shall state who are to remain or go into 
 hospital ; who are to return to quarters as sick or convalescent ; 
 what duties the convalescents in quarters are capable of ; what cases 
 are feigned ; and any other information in regard to the sick of the 
 company he may have to communicate to the company commander. 
 
 1123 . . .Soldiers in hospital, patients, or attendants, except stew- 
 ards, shall be mustered on the rolls of their company, if it be present 
 at the post. 
 
 1124. . . .When a soldier in hospital is detached from his company 
 so as not to be mustered with it for pay, his company commander 
 shall certify and send to the hospital his descriptive list, and account 
 of pay and clothing, containing all necessary information relating to 
 his accounts with the United States, on which the surgeon shall enter 
 all payments, stoppages, and issues of clothing to him in hospital. 
 When he leaves the hospital, the medical officer shall certify and re- 
 mit his descriptive list showing the state of his accounts. If he is 
 discharged from the service in hospital, the surgeon shall make out 
 his final statements for pay and clothing. If he dies in hospital, the 
 surgeon shall take charge of his effects, and make the reports re- 
 quired in the general regulations concerning soldiers who die absent 
 from their companies. 
 
 1125. . . .Patients in hospital are, if possible, to leave their arms 
 and accoutrements with their companies, and in no case to take am- 
 munition into the hospital. 
 
 1126. . . .When a patient is transferred from one hospital to an- 
 other, the medical officer shall send with him an account of his case, 
 and the treatment. 
 
Medical Department. 245 
 
 1127 The regulations for the service of hospitals apply, as far 
 
 as practicable, to the medical service in the field. 
 
 1128 The senior medical officer of each hospital, post, regi- 
 ment, or detachment, will keep the following records, and deliver 
 them to his successor : a register of patients (Form 8) ; a prescrip- 
 tion book (Form 9) ; a diet book (Form 9) ; a case book ; a mete- 
 orological register (Form 10) ; copies of his requisitions, annual re- 
 turns, and quarterly reports of sick and wounded j and an order and 
 letter book, in which will be transcribed all orders and letters relat- 
 ing to his duties. 
 
 1129 He will make the muster and pay rolls of the hospital 
 
 steward and matrons, and of all soldiers in hospital, sick, or on duty, 
 detached from their companies, on the forms furnished from the Ad- 
 jutant-General's office, and according to the directions expressed on 
 them. 
 
 1130. . . .He will make the rolls of the cooks and nurses for extra- 
 duty pay, which will be paid by the quartermaster, in the absence of 
 a medical disbursing officer, as in other cases of expenditures for the 
 medical department (Form 11). 
 
 1131 He will select the cooks, nurses, and matrons, with the 
 
 approval of the commanding officer. Cooks and nurses will be taken 
 from the privates, and will be exempt from other duty, but shall at- 
 tend the parades for muster and weekly inspections of their compa- 
 nies at the post, unless specially excused by the commanding officer. 
 
 1132. . . .Ordinarily, hospital attendants are allowed as follows : to 
 a general hospital, one steward, one nurse as ward-master, one nurse 
 to ten patients, one matron to twenty, and one cook to thirty ; to a 
 hospital where the command exceeds five companies, one steward 
 and ward-master, one cook, two matrons, and four nurses ; to a post 
 or garrison of one company, one steward and ward-master, one nurse, 
 one cook, and one matron ; and for every two companies more, one 
 nurse ; at arsenals where the number of enlisted men is not less than 
 fourteen, one matron is allowed. 
 
 1133 Medical officers, where on duty, will attend the officers 
 
 and enlisted men, and the servants and laundresses authorized by law ; 
 and at stations where other medical attendance can not be procured, 
 and on marches, the hired men of the army, and the families of 
 officers and soldiers. Medicines will be dispensed to all persons enti- 
 tled to medical attendance ; hospital stores to enlisted men. \ 
 
 1134. . . .Medical officers, in giving certificates of disability (Form 
 12), are to take particular care in all cases that have not been under 
 their charge; and especially in epilepsy, convulsions, chronic rheu- 
 
246 Medical Department. 
 
 matism, derangement of the urinary organs, ophthalmia, ulcers, or 
 any obscure disease liable to be feigned or purposely produced ; and 
 in no case shall such certificate be given imtil after sufficient time 
 and examination to detect any attempt at deception. 
 
 1135. .. .In passing a recruit the medical officer is to examine him 
 stripped ; to see that he has free use of all his limbs ; that his chest 
 is ample ; that his hearing, vision, and speech are perfect ; that he 
 has no tumors, or ulcerated or extensively cicatrized legs ; no rupture 
 or chronic cutaneous affection ; that he has not received any contu- 
 sion, or wound of the head, that may impair his faculties ; that he is 
 not a drunkard ; is not subject to convulsions ; and has no infectious 
 disorder, nor any other that may unfit him for military service. 
 
 1136. . . .Medical officers attending recruiting rendezvous will keep 
 a record (Form 1 3) of all the recruits examined by them. Books for 
 this purpose will be procured by application to the Surgeon-General, 
 to whom they will be returned when filled. 
 
 11 37.... As soon as a recruit joins any regiment or station, he 
 shall be examined by the medical officer, and vaccinated when it is 
 required. 
 
 1138 . . . .The senior medical officer of each hospital, post, regiment, 
 or detachment, will m:;ke monthly to the medical director, and quar-r 
 terly to the Surgeon- General, a report of sick and wounded, and of 
 deaths, and of certificates for discharge for disability (Form 14), and 
 transmit to him monthly a copy of the meteorological register (Form 
 10), and a copy of the *' statement of the hospital fund" (Form 18). 
 
 1139. . . .After surgeon's call, he will make a morning report of the 
 sick to the commanding officer (Form 15). 
 
 1140. . . .Every medical officer will report to the Surgeon-General 
 and to the medical director the date when he arrives at a station, or 
 when he leaves it, and his orders in the case, and at the end of each 
 month whenever not at his station, whether on service or on leave of 
 absence, and when on leave of absence his post-office address for the 
 next month. 
 
 1 141 .... The medical director will make to the Surgeon-General a 
 monthly return of the medical officers of the command (Form 16), 
 and a consolidated monthly report of the sick and wounded (Form 14) 
 from the several reports made him. 
 
 1142. ...When it is necessary to employ a private physician as 
 medical officer, the commanding officer may do it by written contract, 
 conditioned as in Form 17, at a stated compensation not to exceed 
 $50 a month when the number of officers and men, with authorized 
 servants and laundresses, is 100 or more ; f 40 when it is from 50 to 
 100, and ^30 when it is under 50. 
 
Medical Department 247 
 
 1143 But when he is required to abandon his own business, and 
 
 give his whole time to the public service, the contract may be not to 
 exceed $80 a month ; and not to exceed $100, besides transportation 
 in kind, to be furnished by the Quartermaster's Department, where he 
 is required to accompany troops on marches or transports. But a 
 private physician will not be emjiloyed to accompany troops on 
 marches or transports, except by orders from the War Department, 
 or in particular and urgent cases by the order of the officer directing 
 the movement, when a particidar statement of the circumstances 
 which make it necessary will be appended to the contract. 
 
 1144. . ..And when a private physician is required to furnish med- 
 icines, he will be allowed, besides the liquidated pay, from 25 to 50 
 per cent, on it, to be determined by the Surgeon-General. 
 
 1145 . . . .In all cases, a duplicate of the contract will be transmitted 
 forthwith by the commanding officer to the Surgeon-General, and the 
 commanding officer for the time being will at once discontinue it, 
 whenever the necessity for it ceases, or the Surgeon-General may so 
 dirept. 
 
 1146 The physician's account of pay due must be sent to the 
 
 Surgeon-General for payment, vouched by the certificate of the com- 
 manding officer that it is correct and agreeable to contract, and that 
 the services have been duly rendered. But when it can not conven- 
 iently be submitted to the Surgeon-General from the frontier or the 
 field, it may be paid on the order of the commanding officer, not to 
 exceed the regulated amount, by a medical disbursing officer, or a 
 quartermaster. 
 
 1147. .. .When medical attendance is required by officers or en- 
 listed men on service, or for the authorized servants of such officers, 
 and the attendance of a medical officer can not be had, the officer, or, 
 if there be no officer, then the enlisted man, may employ a private 
 physician, and a just account therefor will be paid by the medical 
 bureau. 
 
 1148. . . .The account will set out the name of the patient, the date 
 of and charge for each visit and for medicines. The physician will 
 make a certificate to the amount in case of an officer, or affidavit in 
 the case of an enlisted man, that the account is correct, and the 
 charges are the customary charges of the place. 
 
 1149. . . .The officer will make his certificate, or the enlisted man 
 his affidavit, to the correctness of the account, that he was on service 
 at the place, and stating the circumstances preventing him from re- 
 ceiving the services of a medical officer. 
 
 1150 When the charge is against an officer, he will pay the ac- 
 
248 Medical Department 
 
 count if practicable, and transmit it to the medical bureau for reim- 
 bursement ; in all otlicr cases the account will be transmitted to the 
 medical bureau for settlement. 
 
 1151.... If the charge is against a deceased officer or enlisted 
 man, the physician will make affidavit, before required, to the ac- 
 count, and that he has been paid no part of it. 
 
 1152. . . .No charges for consultation fees will be paid by the medi- 
 cal bureau, nor will any account for medical attendance or medicines 
 be paid, if the officer or enlisted man be not on sen'ice. 
 
 1153 ... .A board of not less than three medical officers will be ap- 
 pointed from time to time by the Secretary of War, to examine ap- 
 plicants for appointment of assistant surgeons, and assistant surgeons 
 for promotion. And no one shall be so appointed or promoted until 
 so examined and found qualified. 
 
 11 54:.... The board will scrutinize rigidly the moral habits, pro- 
 fessional acquirements, and physical qualifications of the candidates, 
 and report favorably, either for appointment or promotion, in no case 
 admitting of a reasonable doubt. 
 
 1155. . . .The Secretaiy of War will designate the applicants to be 
 examined for appointment of assistant surgeon. They must be be- 
 tween 21 and 28 years of age. The board will report their respective 
 merits in the several branches of the examination, and their relative 
 merit from the whole ; agreeably whereto, if vacancies happen within 
 two years thereafter, they will receive appointments and take rank in 
 the medical corps. 
 
 1156. ...When an assistant surgeon has serv^ed five years, he is 
 subject to be examined for promotion. If he decline the examina- 
 tion, or be found not qualified by moral habits or professional ac- 
 quirements, he ceases to be a medical officer of the army. 
 
 1157. . . .An applicant for appointment failing at one examination, 
 may be allowed a second, after two years ; but never a third. 
 
 1158. . . .The Secretary of War will appoint from the enlisted men 
 of the army, or cause to be enlisted, as many competent hospital 
 stewards as the service may require, not to exceed one for each post. 
 
 1159. . . .The senior medical officer of a hospital requiring a stew- 
 ard may recommend a competent non-commissioned officer or soldier 
 to be appointed, which recommendation the commanding officer shall 
 forward to the Adjutant-General of the army, with his remarks there- 
 on, and with the remarks of the company commander. 
 
 1160 When no competent enlisted man can be procured, the 
 
 medical officer will report the fact to the Surgeon-General. Appli- 
 cations and testimonials of competency, from persons seeking to be

 enlisted for hospital stewards, may be addressed to the Surgeon-Gen- 
 eral. 
 
 1161 The commanding officer may re-enlist a hospital steward 
 
 at the expiration of his term of service, on the recommendation of 
 the medical officer.

 REMAKKS. 
 
 This register is to be transmitted to the Surgeon-General monthly. All frac- 
 tions are to be expressed in decimals carried out two points. The thermometer 
 and hygrometer, if not connected, will be suspended side by side. One third of the 
 sum of the three daily observations will be registered as the daily mean. The di- 
 rection (D.) and force (F.) of the winds will be cxpreesed in accordance with exist- 
 ing regulations. The whole number of times any point of the compass is recorded 
 during the month, gives the "number of observations," and the aggregate of the 
 numbers denoting the force, gives the "sum of force," from that point. The re- 
 sults thus obtained are to be recorded under "Summary of winds and weather." 
 Observations on the weather will be recorded as fair or cloudy ; and the number 
 of fair and cloudy days during the month will be ascertained by dividing the sum 
 total of eacli record by 3. The number of days on which it rains or snows will be 
 noted separately.

 A. B., of Captain 's company ( — ), of the regiment of 
 
 United States , was enlisted by , of the regi- 
 ment of , at , on the day of , to serve years ; 
 
 he was born in , in the State of , is years of age, 
 
 feet ■■ inches high, complexion, eyes, hair, 
 
 and by occupation when enlisted . During the last two 
 
 months said soldier has been unfit for duty days. 
 
 (The company commander will here add a statement of all the 
 facts known to him concerning the disease or wound, ©r cause of dis- 
 abihty of the soldier ; the time, place, manner, and all the circum- 
 stances under which the injury occurred, or disease originated or ap- 
 peared ; the duty, or service, or situation of the soldier at the time the 
 injury was received or disease contracted, or supposed to be contract-

 C. D., Commanding Company. 
 
 When the facts are not knoAvn to the company commander, the 
 certificate of any officer, or affidavit of other person having such 
 knowledge, will be appended. 
 
 I CERTIFY that I have carefully examined the said of Captain

 wound, or disease ; the extent to which it deprives him of the use of 
 any limb or faculty, or affects his health, strength, activity, constitu- 
 ' tion, or capacity to labor or earn his subsistence). The surgeon will

288 Pay Dtpartment 
 
 section of the Act of August 4, 1854:, the following remarks should be 
 placed opposite their names : " $2 pr. mo. for former services" — the 
 expression ''former services" being used to designate the whole period 
 of the soldier's service prior to the date of the act. If he be entitled to 
 $ 1 additional for re-enlisting subsequent to its date, the remark will

 cert, merit;" " ^2 pr. mo. for previous services, $2 for cert, merit, and 
 ^1 for re-enlisting," «S:c., according to the facts of the case. The 
 bounty of " three months' extra pay" allowed for rq-enlistments under 
 the 29th section of the Act of July 5, 1838, is not to be entered on 
 the muster-roll, as this bounty is paid by the recruiting officer, and 
 not by the paymaster ; but installments of bounty due for enlistments 
 made under the provisions of the 3d section of the Act of June 17, 
 1850, will be noted as follows : J- (or |, ^, or i, according to its be- 
 ing the installment due for the 1st, 2d, 3d, or 4th year's sei-vice), 
 
 *'Ret'd bounty ($ ) due — " the regulation amount of the bounty 
 
 to be specified. The installment for the fifth year's service will be 
 thus noted: "$ llet'd bounty ($ ) due." The pay certifi- 
 cates given to soldiers at the time of their discharge must also clearly 
 set forth the extra allowances to which they are entitled. 
 
 1194. . . .The retained pay is due to a discharged soldier unless for- 
 feited by sentence of a court-martial, or as provided in Paragraph 1197. 
 
 1195. . . .The traveling pay is due to a discharged ofScer or soldier 
 unless forfeited by sentence of a court-martial, or as provided in Par- 
 agraph 1197, or the discharge is by way of punishment for an offense. 
 
 1196 In reckoning the traveling allowance to discharged offi- 
 cers or soldiers, the distance is to be estimated by the shortest mail 
 route ; if there is no mail route, by the shortest j^racticable route. 
 I Rations of soldiers, if not drawn in kind, are estimated at the con- 
 tract price at the place of discharge. The price of the ration shall be 
 stated on the certificate. 
 
 1197. . . .Every enlisted man discharged as a minor, or for other

 the settlement of the account. 
 
 1199 No paymaster or other officer shall be interested in the 
 
 purchase of any soldier's certificate of pay due, or other claim against 
 the United States. 
 
 1200 The Paymaster-General will report to the Adjutant-Gen- 
 eral any case of neglect of company officers to furnish the proper cer-

 compensation of two military commissions or appointments at the 
 same time.

 ARTICLE XL VI. 
 
 ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT. 
 
 1228 .-. . .The Ordnance Department has charge of the arsenals and 
 armories, and furnishes all ordnance and ordnance stores for the mil- 
 itary service. 
 
 1229 The general denomination, "Ordnance and Ordnance 
 
 Stores," comprehends all cannon and artillery carriages and equip- 
 ments ; all apparatus and machines for the service and mancemTes 
 of artillery ; all small arms and accoutrements and horse equipments ; 
 all ammunition ; and all tools and materials for the ordnance service. 
 
 1230. . . .Models or patterns proposed by the ordnance board and 
 approved by the Secretary of War, of all ordnance and ordnance 
 stores for the land service of the United States, with the standard 
 gauges, weights, and measures, shall be deposited in the model office 
 at the Washington arsenal ; and no change or variation from them 
 shall be allowed, except on the recommendation of the board, ap- 
 proved by the Secretary of War. The ordnance board is composed 
 of such officers of that department as the Secretary of War may 
 designate. 
 
 1231. . . .Directions in detail for the inspection and proof of all 
 ordnance and ordnance stores shall be issued by the chief of ord- 
 nance, with the approbation of the Secretary of War. Ordnance and 
 ordnance stores procured by contract or open purchase are required 
 to jDass the same inspection and proof as if fabricated at the arsenals. 
 (See Ordnance Manual.) 
 
 1232. . . .The purchases and contracts for cannon, projectiles, pow- 
 der, small arms, and accoutrements are made, or specially ordered by. 
 the chief of ordnance, under the direction of the Secretary of War. 
 
 1233.... In each case the inspector shall give to the contractor 
 triplicate inspection certificates (Forms 30, 34, 38), and transmit to 
 the ordnance bureau an inspection report (Forms 31, 32, 39). 
 
 1234.... The inspecting officers shall transmit to the ordnance 
 bureau a consolidated report, in July (Form 33), of their inspections 
 of ordnance and projectiles during the 3'ear ending 30th June, and 
 quarterly and annual reports (Forms 35, 36, 37) of their inspections of 
 small arms, barrels, &c. Inspectors shall retain copies of their in- 
 spection reports, to be turned over to their successors ; at an armory, 
 the quarterly and annual inspection reports (35, 36, 37) are signed by 
 the superintendent and master armorer. 
 
 1235 The inspectors of small arms will procure necessary assist- 
 ants from the national armories. No assistant shall inspect oftener 
 
Ordnance Department 333 
 
 than twice in succession the arms made at the same private establish- 
 ment. The inspector will have the accepted arms boxed and scaled 
 in his presence. 
 
 1236, . . .In time of peace, ordnance and ordnance stores are to be 
 issued from the arsenals and armories only by authority from the 
 ordnance bureau of the "War Department ; in war, to supply troops in 
 service, on the order of any general or field ofiicer commanding an 
 army, garrison, or detachment ; provided, in issues to the militia, that 
 they shall have been regularly mustered into the service, and the 
 requisition (Form 23) be approved by the mustering and inspecting 
 officer of the United States, or a general or field officer commanding 
 in the regular service. In case of an issue not specially directed 
 from the ordnance bureau, the order for the issue will be promptly 
 transmitted to the bureau by the issuing officer. 
 
 1237. . . .The arms and accoutrements required by an officer for his 
 own use in the public service may be issued to him on payment of the 
 regulated price (Form No. 19), to be passed to the credit of the proper 
 appropriation at the ordnance bureau. 
 
 1238 .... Requisitions (Form 22) for ordnance and ordnance stores 
 for companies or posts may, in urgent cases, be sent direct to the Ad- 
 jutant-General's office, a duplicate being forwarded at the same time 
 to department head-quarters. Requisitions for the military acade- 
 my are to be transmitted to the chief engineer. Requisitions for sup- 
 plies for arsenals and armories are sent direct to the ordnance bureau. 
 
 1239. . . .When arms, accoutrenjents, and equipments need repairs 
 that can not be made by the troops, the commanding officer may send 
 them to be repaired to the most convenient arsenal. 
 
 1240 .... The commander of each company or detachment will be 
 accountable for all ordnance and ordnance stores issued to his com- 
 mand. The commander of each post will be accountable for all ord- 
 nance and ordnance stores at the post, not issued to the company or 
 detachment commanders, or not in charge of an officer of ordnance 
 or a store-keeper. Ordnance sergeants will account for ordnance prop- 
 erty only where there is no commissioned officer of the army or store- 
 keeper. 
 
 1241 Commanding officers of the militia in service of the United 
 
 States shall return and account for ordnance and ordnance stores in 
 the use of troops as required in the regular service. And all arms 
 and equipments issued to such militia shall be charged against the 
 person to whom the issue is made on the muster-roll or pay account, 
 to be accounted for to the mustering and inspecting officer, before re- 
 ceiving pay during service and on his discharge.

 necessary instructions shall be issued to the armories and the ord- 
 nance inspectors to correct defects in the manufacture. 
 
 1246 . . .Inspections shall be made of the armories and arsenals of 
 construction annually, and of other arsenals every two years, by such

 ARTICLE XLVIL 
 
 RECRUITINa SERVICE. 
 
 1283 The recruiting service will be conducted by the Adjutant- 
 General, under the direction of the Secretary of War. 
 
 1284 Field officers will be detailed to superintend the recruit- 
 ing districts, and lieutenants to take charge of the recruiting parties. 
 The recruiting service will form a special roster. The Adjutant-Gen- 
 eral will detail the field officers, and announce in orders the number 
 of lieutenants to be detailed from each regiment by the Colonel. 
 When the detail is not according to the roster, the special reason of 
 the case shall be reported and laid before the Secretary of War. 
 
 1285 .... A recruiting party will consist generally of one lieutenant, 
 one non-commissioned officer, two privates, and a drummer and fifer. 
 The parties will be sent from the principal depots, and none but suit- 
 able men selected. 
 
 1286. . . .Officers on the general recruiting service are not to be or- 
 dered on any other duty, except from the Adjutant-General's office. 
 
 1287 As soon as a recruiting station is designated, the superin- 
 tendent sends estimates for funds to the Adjutant-General, and requi- 
 sitions on the proper departments (through the Adjutant-General) for 
 clothing, camp equipage, arms, and accoutrements. 
 
 1288 .... Subsequent supplies for the station in his district are pro- 
 cured by the superintendent on consolidated estimates; these are 
 made quarterly for funds, and every six or twelve months for cloth- 
 ing, equipage, arms, and accoutrements. Estimates for funds will be 
 in the following form :

422 Recruiting Semce. 
 
 1289 Funds and supplies of clothing, camp and garrison equi- 
 page, arms and accoutrements, when ordered, will be sent direct to 
 each station. 
 
 1290 .... For subsistence to recruiting stations, see regulations of 
 the Subsistence Department. When army rations are issued for re- 
 cruits, savings on the rations shall be applied for their benefit, as in 
 companies. 
 
 1291.... The superintendents will transmit to the Adjutant-Gen- 
 eral consolidated monthly returns of the recruiting parties under 
 their superintendence, according to directions on the printed blanks, 
 accompanied by one copy of the enlistment of each recruit enlisted 
 within the month. 
 
 1292 .... When recruits should be sent to regiments, a superintend- 
 ent will report to the Adjutant-General for instructions in reference 
 thereto. 
 
 1293. . . .When recruits are sent from a depot or rendezvous to a 
 regiment or post, a mustei^ and descriptive roll, and an account of cloth- 
 ing of the detachment, will be given to the officer assigned to the com- 
 mand of it. And a dupHcate of the muster and descriptive roll will 
 be forwarded to the Adjutant-General by the superintendent, who will 
 note on it the names of all the officers on duty with the detachment, 
 and the day of its departure from the depot or rendezvous. 
 
 1291. . . .The superintendent will report all commissioned or non- 
 commissioned officers who may be incapable or negligent in the dis- 
 charge of their functions. Where a recruiting party fails to get re- 
 cruits from any cause other than the fault of the officer, the super- 
 intendent will recommend another station for the party. 
 
 1295.... When a rendezvous is closed, the superintendent will 
 give the necessary instructions for the safe-keeping or disposal of the 
 public property, so as not to involve any expense for storage. 
 
 1296. . . .Tours of inspection by superintendents will be made only 
 on instructions from the Adjutant-General's Office. Officers on the 
 recruiting servdce will not be sent from place to place without orders 
 from the same source. Recruiting officers will in no case absent 
 themselves from their stations without authority from the superin- 
 tendent. 
 
 1297 They wiU not allow any man to be deceived or inveigled 
 
 into the ser^^ice by false representations, but will in person explain 
 the nature of the service, the length of the term, the pay, clothing, 
 rations, and other allowances to which a soldier is entitled by law, to 
 every man before he signs the enlistment. 
 
 1298 With the sanction of superintendents, recruiting officers 
 
Recruiting Service, 423 
 
 may insert, in not exceeding two newspapers, brief notices directing 
 attention to the rendezvous for further information. 
 
 1299. . . .Any free white male person above the age of eighteen and 
 imder thirty-five years, being at least five feet MMMlflK^pltf inches^ 
 high, effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good charac- 
 ter and habits, and with a competent knowledge of the English lan- 
 guage, may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height 
 and age of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians or to soldiers 
 who may '''■re-enlist'' or have served honestly and faithfully a previous 
 enlistment in the army. 
 
 1300 No man having a wife or child shall be enlisted in time of 
 
 peace without special authority obtained from the Adjutant-General's 
 Office, through the superintendent. This rule is not to apply to sol- 
 diers who '■^re-enlist.'" 
 
 1301 No person under the age of twenty-one years is to be en- 
 listed without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or master. 
 The recruiting officers must be very particular in ascertaining the 
 true age of the recruit. 
 
 1302 If a minor who has no parent or guardian offisr to enlist, 
 
 a guardian (who must not be any one connected with the recruiting 
 party) may be appointed by the proper legal authority. 
 
 1303. . . .After the nature of the service and terms of enlistment 
 have been fairly explained to the recruit, the officer, before the en- 
 listments are filled up, will read to him, and offer for his signature, 
 the annexed declaration, to be appended to each copy of his enlist- 
 ment. ' 
 
 I, , desiring to enlist in the Army of the United States for 
 
 the period of five years, do declare that I am years and 
 
 months of age ; that I have neither wife nor child ; that I have never 
 ' been discharged from the United States service on account of dis- 
 ability, or by sentence of a court-martial, or by order before the expi- 
 ration of a term of enlistment ; and I know of no impediment to my 
 serving honestly and faithfully as a soldier for five years.

 1304. . . .If the recruit be a minor, his parent, guardian, or master 
 must sign a consent to his enlisting, which will be added to the pre- 
 ceding declaration, in the following form : 
 
 I, , do certify that I am the {father^ only surviving parent, 
 
 legal master, or guardian, as the case viay be) of ; that the said 
 
 is years of age ; and I do hereby freely give my con-

 the period of five years. 
 
 Witness : 
 
 1305. . . .The forms of declaration, and of consent in case of a mi- 
 nor, having been signed "and witnessed, the recruit will then be duly 
 examined by the recruiting officer, and surgeon if one be present, 
 and, if accepted, the 20th and 87th Articles of War will be read to 
 him ; after which he will be allowed time to consider the subject un- 
 til his mind appears to be fully made up before the oath is adminis- 
 tered to him. 
 
 1306 As soon as practicable, and at least within six days after 
 
 his enlistment, the following oath will be administered to the recruit : 
 
 "I, A— B— , do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case ma^ be) 
 that I will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and 
 that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their ene- 
 mies or opposers whatsoever, and observ^e and obey the orders of 
 the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers ap- 
 pointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the govern- 
 ment of the armies of the United States." (See 10th Art. of War.) 
 
 1307. . . .Under the article of war above cited, and the acts of Con- 
 gress approved September 16th, 1850, and July 29th, 1854, a justice of 
 the peace, the chief magistrate of any town or city corporate (not be- 
 ing an officer of the Army), a notary public, or, when recourse can 
 not be had to such civil magistrates, a judge advocate, may administer 
 the above oath. 
 
 1308. . . .It is the duty of the recruiting officer to be present at the 
 examination of the recruit by the medical officer. 
 
 1309. .. .Recruiting officers will not employ private physicians 
 without authority from the Adjutant-General's Office, for the special 
 purpose of examining the recruits prior to their enlisting. 
 
 1310 If it be necessary, as in case of sickness, to employ a phy- 
 sician, the recruiting officer may engage his services by contract on 
 reasonable terms, *'by the visit," or by the month. If by the month, 
 the examination of the recruits must be stated in the contract as part 
 of his duty. In vouchers for medical attendance and medicines, the 
 name of each patient, date of, and charge for each visit, and for med- 
 icine furnished, must be given, and the certificate of the physician 
 added, that the rates charged are the usual rates of the place. 
 
 1311 ... . Enlistments must, in all cases, be taken in triplicate. The 
 recruiting officer will send one copy to the Adjutant-General with his 
 quarterly accounts, a second to the superintendent with his monthly 
 
Recruiting Service, 425 
 
 return, and a third to the depot at the time the recruits are sent there. 
 In cases of soldiers re-enlisted in a regiment, or of regimental re- 
 cruits, the third copy of the enlistment will be sent at its date to reg- 
 imental head-quarters for file. 
 
 1312 When ordnance sergeants re-enlist, the recruiting officer 
 
 will immediately send the second copy of the enlistment direct to the 
 Adjutant-General, and the third copy to the station of the ordnance 
 sergeant for file. 
 
 1313 A non-commissioned officer, musician, or private soldier, 
 
 who may re-enlist into his company or regiment within two months* 
 before, or one month after the expiration of his term of service, shall 
 receive a bounty of three months* extra pay — that is to say, the pay 
 he was receiving as pay of his grade, and as additional pay for length 
 of service and for certificate of merit. This bounty shall be paid by 
 the recruiting officer at the time of enlistment, and noted on the de- 
 scriptive list. Ordnance sergeants and hospital stewards are non- 
 commissioned officers entitled to the bounty in the case provided. 
 
 1314. , . .Enlistments must, in no case, be ante-dated so as to enti- 
 tle a soldier to bounty who applies after the period for " re-enlisting'^ 
 has expired. 
 
 1315 A premium of two dollars will be paid to any citizen, non> 
 
 commissioned officer, or soldier for each accepted recruit that he 
 may bring to the rendezvous ; but not for soldiers who receive bounty 
 for "re-enlisting." 
 
 1316 .... The recruiting officer will see that the men under his com- 
 mand are neat in their personal appearance, and will require the per- 
 manent party to wear their military dress in a becoming manner, es- 
 pecially when permitted to go abroad. 
 
 1317. . . .Only such articles of clothing as are indispensable for im- 
 mediate use will be issued to recruits at the rendezvous. Their 
 equipment will not be made complete till after they have passed the 
 inspection subsequent to their arrival at the depot. 
 
 1318 The instruction of the recruits will commence at the ren- 
 dezvous from the moment of enlistment. The general superintend- 
 ent will see that all recruiting officers give particular attention to this 
 subject. 
 
 1319 .... Recruits will be sent from rendezvous to depots every ten 
 days, or oftener if practicable, provided the number disposable ex- 
 ceeds three. The detachments of recruits will be sent from rendez- 
 vous to depots under charge of a non-commissioned officer. 
 
 1320 Every officer commanding a recruiting party will procure 
 
 the necessary transportation, forage, fuel, straw, and stationery, tak- 
 in£T the requisite vouchers. 
 
426 Recruiting Service. 
 
 1321. . . .The transportation of recruits to depots, and from one re- 
 cruiting station to another, will be paid from the recruiting funds ; 
 transportation of officers and enlisted men on the recruiting senice 
 will be paid in the same manner, except when first proceeding to join 
 that service, or returning to their regiments after having been re- 
 lieved. 
 
 1322 .... No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted 
 that do not arise from orders emanating from the Adjutant-General's 
 Office, except they be required to \isit branch or auxihary rendezvous 
 under their charge, when they will be allowed the stage, steam-boat, 
 or rail-road fare, porterage included. 
 
 1323. . . .Whenever an officer is relieved or withdrawn from the re- 
 cruiting sendee, he will forward to the Adjutant-General the evidence 
 of the disposition he may make of the funds, according to regulations 
 and the special orders he may have received, and report the fact to the 
 superintendent, or to his colonel if on regimental recruiting servdce. 
 
 1324. . . .The rent of the recruiting rendezvous is paid from the re- 
 cruiting funds. The terms of the contract will be immediately re- 
 ported to the Adjutant-General.

 If necessary, an additional supply of one fourth of these rates will be 
 allowed to the recruiting officer having charge of one or more auxilia- 
 ry rendezvous distant from his permanent station. At the principal 
 depots the allowance must be fixed by the wants of the public service.

 cial business." 
 
 1335 .... On ■ all vouchers for premiums for bringing recruits, and 
 fees for oaths of enlistment, the names of the recruits for whom the 
 expenditure is made must be given. The vouchers may be made in 
 form of consolidated receipt-rolls, authenticated by the officer's certifi- 
 cate that they are correct. 
 
 1336 .... The fee usually allowed for administering the oath of en- 
 listment being twenty-five cents for each recruit, when a greater 
 amount is paid, the officer must certify on the voucher that it is the 
 rate allowed by law of the State or Territory.

 cally arranged. 
 
 1339 .... Whenever a soldier re-enters the service, the officer who 
 enlisted him will endorse on the enlistment, next below his own name 
 and regiment, " second (or third) enlistment," as the case may be, 
 together with the name of the regiment and the letter of the compa^ 
 ny in which the soldier last sensed, and date of discharge from former 
 enlistment. This information the recruiting officer must obtain, if 
 possible, from the soldier's discharge^ which he should in all cases be 
 required to exhibit. (See 22d Art. of War.) 
 
 1340 .... The name of the state, as well as the town, where each 
 recruit is enlisted, will be recorded on all nmster, pay, and descrip- 
 tive rolls. 
 
 1341 . c . . The depots for recruits are established by orders from the 
 Adjutant-General's office. 
 
 1342 .... To each depot there will be assigned a suitable number of 
 officers to command and instruct the recruits ; and, when necessary, 
 such number of enlisted men as may be .designated at the Adjutant- 
 General's Office, will be selected for the permanent party, to do gar- 
 rison duty and for di'ill masters. 
 
 1343 .... The number of recruits at depots to be assigned to each 
 arm and regiment, is directed from the Adjutant-General's office. 
 
 1344 .... The recruits are to be dressed in uniform according to their 
 respective arms, and will be regularly mustered and inspected. They 
 are to be well drilled in the infantry tactics, through the school of the 
 soldier to that of the battalion, and in the exercise of field and gar- 
 rison pieces. Duty is to be done according to the strict rules of 
 service. 
 
 1345 The general superintendent will cause such of the recruits 
 
 as are found to possess a natural talent for music to be instructed (be- 
 sides the drill of the soldier) on the fife, bugle, and drum, and other 
 military instruments ; and boys of twelve years of age, and upward, 
 may, under his direction, be enlisted for this purpose. But as re- 
 cruits under eighteen years of age and under size must be discharged, 
 if they are not capable of learning music, care should be taken to en- 
 list those only who have a natural talent for music, and, if practica- 
 ble, they should be taken on trial for some time before being enlisted. 
 
 1346 Regiments will be furnished with field music on the req- 
 uisitions of their commanders, made, from time to time, direct on the 
 general superintendent; and, when requested by regimental com- 
 manders, the superintendents will endeavor to have suitable men se- 
 lected from the recruits, or enlisted, for the regimental bands. 
 
430 Recruiting Semce. 
 
 1347. . . .To give encouragement to the recruits, and hold out in- 
 ducementsgto good conduct, the commanding officer of the depot may 
 promote such of them to be lance-corporals and lance-sergeants as ex- 
 hibit the requisite qualifications, not exceeding the proper proportion to 
 the number of recruits at the depot. These appointments will be an- 
 nounced in orders in the usual way, and will be continued in force 
 until they join their regiments, unless sooner revoked. No allowance 
 of pay or emoluments is to be assigned to these appointments : they 
 are only to be considered as recommendations to the captains of com- 
 panies and colonels of regiments for the places in which the recruits 
 may have acted ; but such non-commissioned officers are to be treat- 
 ed with all the respect, and to have all the authority which may be- 
 long to the stations of sergeant and corporal. 
 
 1348. . . .Permanent parties at depots, and recruiting parties, will be 
 mustered, inspected, and paid in the same manner as other soldiers. 
 Recruits will be mustered for pay only at depots, and when paid 
 there, one half of their monthly pay will be retained until they join 
 their regiments. 
 
 1349. . . .The Rules and Articles of War are to be read to the re- 
 cruits in dej^ot every month after the inspection ; and so much there- 
 of as relates to the duties of non-commissioned officers and soldiers 
 
 ■ will be read to them every week. 
 
 1350. . . .Recruits are not to be put to any labor or work which 
 wou)d interfere with their instruction, nor are they to be employed 
 othenvise than as soldiers, in the regular duties of garrison or camp. 
 
 1351. . . .When recruits are received at a garrisoned post, the com- 
 manding officer will place them under the charge of a commissioned 
 officer. 
 
 1352 The superintendent or commanding officer will cause a 
 
 minute and critical inspection to be made of every recruit received at 
 a depot, two days after his anival ; and should any recruit be found 
 unfit for service, or to have been enlisted contrary to law or regula- 
 tions, he shall assemble a Board of Inspectors to examine -into the 
 case. 
 
 1353. . . .Eveiy detachment ordered from a depot to any regiment 
 or post, shall, immediately preceding its departure, be critically in- 
 spected by the superintendent or commanding officer and surgeon ; 
 and, when necessary, a Board of Inspectors will be convened. 
 
 1354 .... Recruits received at a military post or station shall be 
 carefully inspected by the commanding officer and surgeon, on the 
 third day after their arrival ; and if, on such inspection, any recruit, 
 in their opinion, be unsound or otherwise defective in such degree 
 
Recruiting Service* 431 
 
 as to disqualify him for the duties of a soldier, then a Board of In- 
 spectors will be assembled to examine into and report on the case. 
 
 1355. . . .Boards of Inspectors for the examination of recruits will 
 be composed of the three senior regimental officers present on duty 
 with the troops, including the commanding officer and the senior 
 medical officer of the army present. 
 
 1356 .... In all cases of rejection, the reasons therefor will be stated 
 at large in a special report by the board; which, together with the 
 surgeon's certificate of disability for service, will be forwarded by the 
 superintendent or commandant of the post direct to the Adjutant- 
 General. If the recommendation of the board for the discharge of 
 the recruit be approved, the authority will be endorsed on the certifi- 
 cate, which will be sent back to be filled up and signed by the com- 
 manding officer, who will return the same to the Adjutant-General's 
 Office. 
 
 1357. . . .The board will state in the report whether the disability, 
 or other cause of rejection, existed before his enlistment, and wheth- 
 er, with proper care and examination, it might have been then discov- 
 ered. 
 
 1358 An officer intrusted with the command of recruits ordered 
 
 to regiments, will, on arriving at the place of destination, forward the 
 following papers : 
 
 1. To the Adjutant-General and the Superintendent, each, a descrip- 
 tive roll and an account of clothing of such men as may have desert- 
 ed, died, or been left on the route from any cause whatever; with 3- 
 special report of the date of his arrival at the post, the strength and 
 condition of the detachment when turned over to the commanding 
 officer, and all circtimstances worthy of remark which may have oc-^ 
 curred on the march. 
 
 2. To the Commanding Officer of the regiment or post, the muster 
 and descriptive roll furnished him at the time of setting out, properly 
 signed and completed by recording the names of the recruits present, 
 and by noting in the column for remarks, opposite the appropriate 
 spaces, the time and place of death, desertion, apprehension, or other 
 casualty that may have occurred on the route. 
 
 1359 Should an officer be relieved in charge of a detachment 
 
 en route, before it reaches its destination, the date and place, and name 
 of the officer by whom he is relieved, must be recorded on the' detach- 
 ment roll. Without the evidence of such record, no charge for extra 
 pay for clothing accountability of a detachment equal to a company 
 will be allowed. 
 
 1360. . . .The ** original muster and descriptive roll" of every de-

 tachment, with remarks showing the final disposition of each recruit, 
 and the regiment and letter of the company to which he may be as- 
 signed, will be signed by the commanding officer, and forwarded to 
 the Adjutant-General. 
 
 1361 .... The regimental recruiting will be conducted in the man- 
 ner prescribed for the general service. 
 
 1362 Every commander of a regiment is the superintendent of 
 
 the recruiting service for his regiment, and will endeavor to keep it 
 up to its establishment ; for which purpose he will obtain the neces- 
 sary funds, clothing, «S;c., by requisition to the Adjutant-General. 
 
 1363 .... At every station occupied by his regiment, or any part of 
 it, the colonel will designate a suitable officer to attend to the recruit- 
 ing duties ; which selection will not relieve such officer from his com- 
 pany or other ordinary duties. The officer thus designated will be 
 kept constantly furnished with funds, and, when necessary, with cloth- 
 ing and camp equipage. 
 
 1364 The regimental recruiting officer will, with the approba- 
 tion of the commanding officer of the station, enlist all suitable men. 
 He will be governed, in rendering his accounts and returns, by the 
 rules prescribed for the general service ; and when leaving a post, 
 will turn over the funds in his hands to the senior company officer 
 of his regiment present, unless some other be appointed to receive 
 them.

 PROCEEDINGS IN CIVIL COURTS. 
 
 1365 When an officer is made a party to any action or pro- 
 ceeding in a civil court which may involve the interest of the United 
 States ; or when, by the performance of his public duty, he is in- 
 volved in any action or proceeding in which he claims protection or 
 indemnity from the United States, he shall promptly report the case 
 to the Adjutant-General, to be laid before the Secretary of War. 
 
 1366. . . .In ordinary cases, when an officer is called upon to show 
 by what authority he holds a soldier in service, he can himself set 
 forth the facts, and need not employ counsel. In important cases, if

 AETICLE LII. 
 
 MILITIA IN THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES. 
 
 1579. . . .Whenever volunteer or drafted militia are called into the 
 service of the United States, by any officer authorized to make such 
 call, the requisition must be made on the Governor of the State or 
 Territory in which the militia are to be raised, and the number of 
 officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates will be stated in the 
 requisition, according to the organization prescribed by the law of the 
 United States. 
 
 1580 .... Before militia are received in the service of the United 
 States, they shall be mustered by an Inspector-General, or some other 
 officer of the regular army, specially designated to muster them. 
 
 1581 ... .It shall be the duty of the officer designated to muster and 
 inspect militia, to forward muster-rolls of each company, and of the 
 field and staff of each regiment, direct to the Adjutant-General of the 
 Army, Washington ; and he will also immediately forward a consoli- 
 dated return, by regiments and corps, of the force received into serv- 
 ice, for the information of the War Department. 
 
 1582 ..., Mustering in. — Reference will be made to the particular 
 act or acts of Congress under which the militiq, are called into service. 
 If there be no such act, then to the act May 8, 1792, amended by the 
 acts, April 18, 1814, and April 20, 1816. Mustering officers will not 
 muster into service a gi-eater number of officers, or of higher rank 
 than the law prescribes. No officers of the general staff will be mus- 
 tered or received into service, except such general officers, wdth their 
 aides-de-camp, as may be required to complete the organization of 
 brigades or divisions. 
 
 1583 .... Mustering out. — The rolls for this purpose will be compared 
 with those of the first muster. All persons on the first rolls, and ab- 
 sent at the final muster, must be accounted for — whether dead, cap- 
 tured, discharged, or otherwise absent ; and if the mustering officer, in 
 any particular case, shall have cause to doubt the report made to be 
 entered on the rolls, he shall demand the oath of one or more persons 
 to prove the fact to his satisfaction ; fm'ther, he shall take care that 
 not more persons of the several ranks be mustered out of service than 
 
Militia, 457 
 
 were mustered in, if there be an excess over the requisition or beyond 
 the law, nor recognize additions or substitutes, without full satisfac- 
 tion that the additions or substitutions were regularly made, and at 
 the time reported on the rolls. 
 
 1584 Officers charged with the duty of mustering militia will 
 
 take care that the muster-rolls contain all the inforaiation that may 
 in any way affect their pay ; the distance from the places of residence 
 to the place of rendezvous or organization, and the date of arrival, 
 must be stated in each case ; the date and place of discharge, and the 
 distance thence to the place of residence ; all stoppages for articles 
 furnished by the Government must be noted on the rolls ; and in cases 
 of absence at the time of discharge of the company, the cause of ab- 
 sence must be stated. When the necessary information can not be 
 obtained, the mustering officer will state the reason. 
 
 1585 If, as has sometimes happened, militia, at the end of a 
 
 term of service, shall, from the want of a mustering officer, disperse 
 or return home without being regularly mustered out ; and if, with a 
 view to a payment, a muster shall afterward be ordered by competent 
 authority, the officer sent for the purpose shall carefully verify all the 
 facts affecting pay, by the oath oT one or more of the officers belong- 
 ing to such militia, in order that full justice may be done, 
 
 1586-. . . .In all cases of muster for payment^ whether final or other- 
 wise, the mustering officer will give his particular attention to the 
 state and condition of the public property : such as quartei-s, camp- 
 equipage, means of transportation, arms, accoutrements, ammunition, 
 &c., which have been in the use or possession of the militia to be 
 paid ; and if any such public property shall appear to be damaged, 
 or lost, beyond ordinary wear or unavoidable accident, such loss or 
 damage shall be noted on the muster-rolls, in order that the injury or 
 loss sustained by the United States may be stopped from the pay that 
 would otherwise be due to the individual or detachment mustered for 
 payment. See regulations of the Ordnance Department. This provision 
 shall be read to all detachments of militia on being mustered into 
 service, and as much oftener as may be deemed necessary. 
 
 1587 Payments will, in all cases, be made by the Paymasters 
 
 of the regular army.
