Enclosed herewith you will receive the report of , the officer commanclini!; the company in which the sergeant has been serving, to which I add the following ren.arks : , Commanding Regiment. 120. When a company is detached (rom the headquarters of the Regiment, the reports of the commanding officer in tLis matter, will pass to tbe regimental beadquarterf; through the commanding officer of the post or detachment, and be accompanied by his opinion as to th:; fiUiess of the candidate. 127. Ordnance Sergeants will he assigned to posts when appointed, and are not to be transferred to other stations except by orders from the Adjutant and fnspector-Generars Office. 128. At tlie expiration of their term of service, ordnance sergeants may be re-enlisted, provided they shall have conducted themselves in a becoming manner, and .p.-rformed their duties to the satisfaction of the commanding officer. If the commanding - fficer, howeve;', shall not tliink 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 sergi^ant, but wil! communicate to the Adjutant and Inspeotor-Genaral his reasons f)^ declining to re-eniist him, to be submitted to the War Department. 129. Tlie officers interested must be aware, from the natu)e of the duties assigned to ordnance sergeants, that the judicious selection of them is of no small importance to the interests of the service ; and that while the law contemplit.es, in the appointm'mt of these non-commisioned officers, the better preservation of the ordnance and ordnance stores in deposit In the several forts, there is the further motive of ofFe-ing a reward to tiirse faith- ful and well-tried sergeants who have long served their country, and ofthu-; giving en- couragement to the soldier in the ranks to emulate them in conduct, and thereby secure substiintial promotion. Colonels and captains cannot, therefore, be too particular in inves- tigating the characters of the candidates, and in giving their testimony as to their merits. 130. The appcintment and removal of ordnance sergeants, statioiled at military posts, in pursuance of the above provi.^ions of law, shall be reported by the Adjutant and Inspec- tor-General to the Chief of the Ordnance Department. 131. When a non-comiui^sioned officer receives the appointment of ordnance sergeant, he shall be dropped from the rolls ol the regiment or company in which he may be serving at the time. 132. The duty of ordnance sergeants relates to thecare of the ordnance, arms, ammuni- tion, and other military stores at the post to which theyJmay bejattached, under the direction o( the Cdintuanding officer, and according to the regulations of the Ordnance Department. 133. If a post be evacuated, the ordnance sergeant shall remain on duty at the station, under the direction of the Chief of the Ort^iance Department, in charge of the ordnance and ordnance stores, and of such other public |)roperty as is not in charge of some officer or agent of other Departments ; for which ordnance stores and other property he wdl ac- count to the chiefs of the proper depaitnients until otherwise directed. 134. An ordnance sergeant in charge of ordnance stores at a post where there is no commissioned officer, shall be held responsiWe 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 return*. If the means at his dis- posal are not sufficient for the preservation of the property, he shall report the circum- stances to the Chief of the Ordnance Department. 135.

Courtesy among military men is indispensable to discipline. Respect to superiors will not be confined to obedience on duty, but will be extended to all occasions.

When a soldier without arms, or with side-arms only, meets an officer, he is to raise his hand to the fight side of the visor of his cap, palm to tbe front, elbow raised as hig'.i as tbe shoulder, looking at the same time in a respectful and soldit r-like manner At the officer, who will return the compliment thus offered. 244. A non-coramissioned officer or soldier being seated, and without particular occupa- tion, will rise on the approach of an officer, and make the custowaarv salutation. If standing, he will turn toward the officer ftn* the same purpose. If the parties remain in the same place or on the same ground, such compliments need not be repeated. 245. The national salute is determined by the number of States composing the Confed- eracy, at tlie rate of one gun for each State. 24f). The President of the Confedernfe Sinles alone is to receive a national salute. 247. The Vice-President is to receive a salute of two guns less than a national salute. 248. The Heads of the great Executive DcpartmnUs of the National Government; the (?e»- erals; the Governors of States and Territories, within their respective jurisdictions, two guns less than Vice-President. 240.

The Brigadier-General and his staff, on foot, will place themselves opposite the centre of the brigade; the Briiradier-Gcneral two paces in front of the rank of Colonels, his aid two paces on his riglit, and one retired ; and the other brigade staff officers, those having the rank of field officers, in the rank of Lieuten- ant-Colonels and Majors and those belnw that rank, in the rank of company officers. 355. Tn passing in review, a Major- General will be four paces in front of the Colonel of the leading battalion of his division, ai'd the Brigadier General will be on the right of the Colonels of the leading battalions of their brigades; staff oflicers on the left of their Generals. 35(i. When the line exceeds two battalions, the reviewing officer may cjttse them to march past in quick time onl.v- In such cases, the mounted officers only will salute. 357. A number of companies less than a battalion will be reviewed as a battalion, and a single company as if it w?re with the battalion. In the latter case, the company may pass in column or platoons. 358. Tf several brigades are to be reviewed together, or in one line, this further differ- ence will be obsejved : the reviewing personage, joined b}' the General of the division, on the tight of his division, will pioceed down the line, parallel to its front, and whm near the Brigadier-General > respectively, will be saluted by theit brigades in successitm. The music of each, after the prescribed salute, will plaj' while the reviewing personage is in front, or in rear of it, and .>nly then. 350. Tn marching in review, with several battalions in common time, the music of each succeeding battalion will rommence to play when the music of the preceding one has cea-^ed. in order to follow its battalion. When marching in quick titne, t'. e music will begin to plaj' when the rear company of the preceding battalion ha« passed the review- ing officer. 300. The reviewing officer or personage will acknowledge the salute by raising, or taking off his cap or liat, when the commander of the troops salutes him ; and also when the colors pass. The remainder of the time occupied by the passage of the troops he will be covered. 301. The review of cavalry and artillery will be conducted on similar principles, and according to the systems of instruction for those arms of the service. 30 GUARD-MOUNTING. III. GUARD-MOUNTING. 362. Camj) nnd p;arrison guards will be relieved every twenty-four hours. The guards at outpost^; will ordinarily be relieved in the same manner ; but this must depend on their distances from camp, or other circumstances, which may sometimes require their continu- icg on dutj' several days. In such cases the}' must be previously warned to provide theraseivfs accordingly. 363. At the first call for guard-mountiug, 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 garrison parade, conducted by the First Sergeants. Each detachment, &s 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 the rear ot them. The Sergeant-Major will dress the ranks, count the files, verify the details, and wheu the guard is formed, report to the Adjutant, and take post two paces on the lelt of the front rank. 364. 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 facins: to the tront. The Adjutant then assigns their places in the guard. 365. The Adjutant will then command, 1. Offi,:er,aiid non-commi:^sumM offi,cers. 2. About — Face! 3. Inspect your guards — March! The non-commissioned officers then take their posts. The commander of the guard then commands, 1. Order — Arms! 2. Inspection — Arms! and insp'^cts his guard. When there is no commissioned officer on the guard, the Adju- tant will inspect it. During inspection, the band will play. 360. 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 officers of the day three paces on the right of the new officer of the day, one pace retired. 367. The Adjutant will now commaud, 1. Parade — Rest ! 2. Troop — Beat off! when the music, beginning on the right, will beat down the line in front of the ofiicer of the guard to the left, and back to its place on the right, where it will ce4se to play. 368. The Adjutant then commands, 1. Attention! 2. Shordder — Abjws ! 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, "Sir, the guard is formed.'''' The new. officer of the daj', after acknowledging the salute, svill direct the Ad- jutant to march the guard in review, 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 marcliins: the guard in review. 369. In review the guard march past the officer of the dav. according to the order of review, conducted by the Adjutant, murching on the left of the first di/ision ; the Sei-- geant- Major on the left of the last division. 370. When the column has passed the officer of the day, the officer 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 be marched by the First Sergeants to their respective company parades, and di.smi.«sed. 371. In bad weather, or at night, or after fatiguing marches, the ceremony of turning off may be dispensed with, but not the inspection. 372. Grand guards, and other brigade guards, are organized and mounted on the bri- gade parade by the staff officers of the. parade, under the direction of the field olficer of the day of the brigade, according to the principles here prescribed for the police guard of a regiment. The detail of each regiment is assembled on the regimental parade, verified by the Adjutant, and marched to the brigade parade by the senior officer of the detail. GCJARD-MOUNTTNG. 31 After inspection and review," the officer of the day directs the several guards to their respective posts. 37o. The officer of the old guard having bis guard paraded, on the approach of the new guard, cuinmands, Prctievf — Arms ! 374. The new guard w\U march, in quick time, past the old guard, at sli(>vldf.red nrmf, officers saluting, and fake 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. SIioiiMer — Arms! 2. Order — Arms! 375. Tiie ofliccr of the new guard will now direct the detail for the advanced guard to be formed and marched to its post, the list of the guard made and divided into three reliefs, ex])erienced soldiers placed over the arms of the guard and at tl.e remote and responsible po<;ts, and the young soldiers in posts near the guard for instruction in their duties, ann will himself proceed to take possession of the guard-house or guard-tent, and the articles and prisoners in charge of the guard. 37r>. During the time of relieving the sentinels and of calling in the small posts, the old commander will give the new all the information and instructions relating to his post. 'Ml. The first relief having been designated and ordered two paces to the front, the Corporal of the new guard will take charge of it, and go to relieve the sentinels, accom- panied tiy the Corporal of the old guard, who will take command of the old sentinels, when the wliole are relieved. 378. If the sentinels are numerous, the Sergeants are to be employed, as well as the Corporals, in relieving them. 379. The re!ief, with arms aj a support, in two ranks, will march by Hank, conducted hy the Corporal on the side of the leading front-'-ank 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 command, carry arins, and resume the .lup- mrf, arms when the officer is passed. 380. The sentinels at the guard-house or guard-tent will be the first relieved and h-ft behind ; the others are relieved in succession. 381. When a seutin<^l sees the relief ai>proaching, he will halt and face to it, with his arms at a shoulder. x\t six paces, the Corporal will command, 1. Relit f. 2. Halt! when the relief will halt and carry arms. The Corporal will then add, " No 1," or '' No. 2,'* or '• N I. 3,'" according to the num er of the po-^t. Arms — Port ! The two sentinel* will, with nrm« at />or'. then npproich each other, wh-^n the old senti- nel, under the correction of the Corporal, will whisper the instructions to tlie new sentinel. This done, the two s.M.tineis will shoulder arms, nnd the old sentinel will pass, in quick time, to his place in the rear of the relief. The Corporal will then command, 1. S"j>porf — Arms! 2. F>r)'-ard. 3. March! and the relief proceeds in the same manner until the whole are relieved. 3H2. The detachments and sentinels f-om the old cunrd having c<»me in, it will be tnarced , at shovldered armtt, alone the front of the new gunrd, in quick time, the new guard stand- ing nt presented arms, officers saluting, and the music of both gunrds beating, except at the outposts. 383. On arriving at the reijimental or earrison parnde, the commander of the old tniard will send the detachments c miposinp it, under charge of the non-cf)mmissioned officers, to their respective retriments. Btfore the m'ers they will carry arms. 408. When a sentinel in his sentry-box sees an officer approaching, he will stand at attention, and as the officer passes will salute him, i»y bringing the left hand briskly to the i musket, as high as the right shoulder. \ 409. The sentinel at any post of the guard, when he sees any body of troops, or an offi- | GUARDS. , 33 f cer entitled to compliment, approach, must call " Tm'ii out the guard!'''' and announce who approacbes'. 410. Guards do not turn out as a matter of compliment after sunset; but sentinels will, when officers in uniform appi'oacb, paj- tbcm proi)er attention, by facing to the proper front, and standing steady at ahotddered arma. Tbis will be observed until the evening is so far advanced tbat the sentinels begin challenging. 411. After retreat (or the hour appointed by the commanding officer,) until broad day- light, a sentinel cballonges every person who approaches Lnn, taking, at the .same times the position of arms port. He will suffer no person to come nearer than within reach of his bayonet, until the person h.as given the countersign. 412. A sentinel, in challenging, will call out — " IFAo comes there?'''' If answered — " Friend, with the countersign^'''' and he be instructed to pass persons with the countersign, be will reply, '"Advance friend, with the countersign!" If answered — " F/v'e» /.v .'" he will reply — ^'■Ilnli fri-Luds! Advance one, wilh the countersign P^ If answered — '■^ Relief,''^ '■'■ Patrol," or ^^ Grand round-''" he will repl}' — " Halt! Advance, Sergeant or Corporal with tlte covnfcrsign .'" and satify 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 co>unter6ign b© given, or if the persons have not the countersign, he w 11 cause them to stand, and call '• Corporal of the G'uird .'" 413. In the daytime, when the sentinel before the guard sees the oflTicer of the day ap- proach, he will Call — " Turn out the guard- ! Oficer of the dcri/. " The guard will be paraded, and salute with presented arms. 414. When any person approaches a post of a guard at night, the sentinel before the post, aftei challenging, causes him to halt until examined by a non commissioned officer of the guard. If it be the otiicer of the day, or any other officer entitled to inspect the guard and to make the rounds, the non-commissioned officer will call — " 7wrw ou-i th-f guard P^ when the guard will be paraded at shouldered arms, and the officer of the guard, if he thinks necessary, may demand the countersign and parole. 415. The officer of the day, wishing to make the rounds, will take an escort of a non- commissioned wfflcer and two men. AVhen the rounds }ire challenged by a Bentinel, the sergeant will answer — " Grand rounds P^ and the sentinel will reply — " Halt, graiul rounrhl Advance. Sergeant, with the coxmtersign .'"' Upon which the sergeant advances anil gives the countersign. The sentinel will then cry-^^^Advaiicc rounds .'" and stand at a shoulder till they have passed. 41G. Wlien the sentinel before the guard challenges, and is answered — " Grand round,': P' he will reply — '■'Hall, grand rounds ! 'lum out th-e guard : grand rou.nds .'"' Upon which the guard will l>e drawn up at shouldered arms. The officer commanding the guard will th-.-n order ar .sergeant and two men to advance ; when within ten paces, the sergeant challenges. The serfreant of the grand round answers — " Grand rounds .'" The sergeant of the guard replies — ^"Advance, Sergeant, with the countersign .'" The sergeant of the rounds ailvanccs aionc, piv s the countersign, and returns to his round. The sergeant of the guard ca Is to his officer — '^'The countersign is right! on which the officer of the guard calls — '■^ Adianc-\ rounds .'" The officer of the rounds then advances alone, the guanl standing at shouldered arn.s. The officer of the rounds passes along the front of the guard to the officer, wlo keeps his post on the right, and gives him the parole. He tiien examines tlio guard, order.^ back his escort, and, taking a new one, proceeds in the same manner to other guards. 417. All material instructions given to a .sentinel on post by persons entitle. I to make piand rounds, ongiit to be promptly notilied to the commander of the guard. 41S. Any General officer, or the commander of a po>.t or garri.son, may vi^it tbtf giurd- of his command, and go tl,e grand rounds, and be received in the same miiinorac pjc- acribcd for the officer of the day.

ARTICLE XXXVI. TROOPS IN CAMPAIGN. — ORGANIZATION OF AN ARMY IN THE FIELD. 461. The formation by divisions is the basis of the organization and administration of armies in the field. 462. A divi-io'i consists usually of two or three brigades, either of infantry or cavalry, and troops ol other corps in the necessary proportion. 463. A brigade is formed of two or more regiments. The first number takes the right. 4('4. Mixed brigades are sometimes formed of infantiy and light cavalry, especially for the Jidvance guards. 465. As the troops arrivo at the rendezvous, the general commanding-in-chief will organize tlu'in into brigades and divisions. 466. The light cavalry is emplo} ed as flankers and partizans, and generally for all serv- ice out of the line. 407. Heavy civalry belongs to the r 'serve, and is covered, when neces.sary, in marches, cam-iS, or bivouacs, by liglit troops, or ii'faiitry of the line. 468. The arrangement of the troops on parade and in order oi' battle is — 1st, the light infantry; 2d, infantry of the line; ud, light cavalry; 4th, cavalry of the line; 5rli, heavy cavalry. The troops of the artillery ami engineers are in the centre of the brigades, divi- sions, or corps to which they are attached; marine.s take the left of other infaiitrv ; vol- unteers and militia take the left of regular ti'oops 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 ol war render expedient. 469. Brigades in divisions, and divisions in the army, are numbered Iroin right to left; ]«it in leports of military tiperations, brigades and divisions are designated by the name of the general coinmandiiig them. , 4"0. The order of legiuients in brigades and of brigades in divisions may be changed by the commander of the division lor important reasons, such as th*e weakness of some corps, or to relieve one from marching too h.ng at the rear of the column. Such clianges inu-t be reported to the general commanding in-chiyf 471 The general commanding-inchief assigns the generals of divisions and of brigades to their resiiecti vc commands, when the assignment is not made by the Department of War. 472. The general of brigade inspects his troops in detail, by companies, when he takes TROOPS IN CAMPAIGN. S9 X the {'oramand and at the openinj^ of the campaign, and as often as may be nrce^sary to ascertain exactly their condition. Thi- general of division makes similar inspections when [' ho thinks proper. At these inspections the generals examine the arms, clothing, equip- ments, harnes*^, horses, &c.; diivct d\v. necessary repairs, and dcbignate the men and horses to remain in depot, or march with the train. J 473. Reports of inspections are made by the general of brigade to the general of division, j.and by the general of division to the genc-ral commanding in-chief. , 474. During marches and all active operations, gent-rals of brigade keep themselves , exactly informed, by reptirts of corps and by their inspections, of tlie actual strength of the regiments, so as always, and especially after an eugfigement, to make accurate returns to the general of division. 475. Staff otlicers and officers of engineers, and artillerr, according to the nature of the service, are assigned to the iieadqu;irters of armies and divisions, and detached brigatles, , by order of the genernl commanding-in cliief, when the distribution of tliese offieeis lias not been nguhited by the AVar Dejiaitnient. TLe necessary staflf will be a.'^signed to commanders o( brig;ides. 476. When an Engineer or other ofllcer is charged with directing an expedition or making a rtconnoisancn, without having command of the escoi t, the couunai.der of the escort .'-hall consult him on all the airangements uecessar}' to secure the success of the operation. 477. Staff officers, and cnmmandets of engineers, and artillery, report to their immedi- ate commanders tiie state of the supplies and whatever concerns the service under their direction, and receive their oi'ders, and communicate to them those they receive from their superiors in their own corps. 478% The seniir ofMeer of engineers, of artillery, and the departments of the general staff serving at the chief headquarters in the field, will transmit to the bureau of his de- partment at Richmond, at the close of the campaign, and such other times as the com- mander in the iifid may approve, a full report of the ojierations of his department, and whatever inlormation to impi'ove its service he may be aide to furnish. The report of the officer of eiigiiieei-- will emfnace plwns of military works executed during the campaign, and, in case of siege, a journal of the attack or defen.se. CONTKIBirTIONS. 479. When the wants of the army absohitelv require it, and in olher cases, under spe- cial instructions from the War Department, the general coumiHiiding the arm\" may levy contribiiti(>n-i in money or kind tni ihe enemy's couiitr\ occupied by the ^^roops No other commander can levy such contributions without written authority from the general commanding-in-chief. OUnKRLIES. 4S0. At the opening of a campaign, 1 1 e commander of an army determines and an- nounces in or' ers the nsniber of orderlies, mounted or Coot, for < he tJenerals, and the corps|)r legiments by which they are to be supjdied, and the periods at wlncli they shall be relieved. 481. In marches, the mounted orderlies fallow the Generals, and perform the duty of escorts, or march with orderlies on loot at the head of the divi^icln or brigade 482. 'ihe .-taff ofheer who disiributfs the orderlies to their posts senis with them a n'^tc of the time and })iace of departure; those relieved receive a like note fivm the staft" officer at headquarters. 483. Mounted soldiers arc to be emjiloyed to carry di-patchcs only in special and urj:( flt cases. 484. Tlie preci.^e time when the dispatch is sent (iff, ami the rate at which it is to be conveyed, ire t > be written cleai-ly on the rovers of all letters transmitte I lo a mounted orderly, and the n-C'-ssary instructions to him. and tlie rate of travel going and returning, are to be distinctly explained to him. nEPOTS. I • 4S.'). The grand ib'pots of an army are established where the military operations would not expose them to be broken up. .Smaller depots are oriruiiz"d for the divisions and the several arm-. T:;ey are commandtnl by officers temporarily i^abled for fb Id -eiv co, f'r by other officers when ncces-saryj .fnd con ipri.se, ds much as po.ssible, the hospitals and 40 ^ CAMPS. depots for convalescents. When conveniently placed, tbey serve as points for the halting and Hsseniblin^ of detachments. They receive the disabled from the corps' on the march i 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. 486. Camp is the place where troops are established in tents, in huts, or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhaliited places which troops occupy for shelter when not put in barraoks. The camping-party is a detachment detailed to prepare a camp. 487. Reconnoissances should precede the establishment of the camp. For a camp of troops on the march it is only necessary to look to rhe health arid comfort of the troops, the facility of the coramunications, tbe convenience of wood and water, and the resources in provisions and forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a camp to cover a coun- try, 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. 4S.S. The camping-party of a regiment consists of the regimenial Quartermaster and Quartermaster -Sergeant, and a Corporal and two men per company. The General decide.s ■ jpbether the regiments camp separately or together, and whether tbe police guard shall accompany the camping-pa' ty, or a larger escort sliail be sent. 489. Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with the camping-party. 490. When the Gl'^neral can send in advance to prepare the camp, he gives his instruc- tions to the chief of the Quartermaster's Department, who calls on the regiments for their campina-parties, and is accompanied, if necessary, by an Engineer to propose the defences and communications. 491- The watering-ulaces are examined, and signals placed at those that are dangerous. Any work required to make (hem of easier access is done by the police guard ov Quarter- master's men. Sentinels, to be relieved by the guards of the regiment wiien tliey come up. are placed, by the camping-party, over the water, if it is scarce, and over the houses and under arms until the return of the fatiuue parties, and, if necessary, is reinforced by details from each comiiany. 497. In the cavalry, each tr^op moves a little in the rear of the point at which its horses are to be secured, and forms in one rank ; the men tlen dismount.; a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack their arms and fix the picket rope ; after tbe liorses are at- tended to, the tents are pitched, and each horseman places his carbine at the side from the vveatlier, and hangs his sabre and bridle on it. 49K- The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel. 499. The terms front, flank, risrht, left, file, and rank, have the same meaning when ap- plied to camps as to the or ier of battle. 50(). The front of the camp is nsnallv equal to the front of the troops The tents are arr;ul•^ed in rank* and files. The number of ranks v: ries with the streButh of the cora- panies and the size of the tents, 501 No offi.-er will be allowed to occupy a house n'thouirh vacant and o'l the ground of his camp, except Ijy permission of the commander of the brigade, who shall report it to the commander of the division.

Each company has its tents in two files, facin"' on a street perpendicular to the color line The width of the street depend.* on the front of the cami), b;'t should not be le^s tl an five paces. The interval between the ranks of tents i.s two pnces ; between the files of tents ('ar ; and the field and staff", twenty paces in rear of the company officers. 505. The company oflicers are in rear of theii respective companies ; the Captains on the I'iglit. 500. The (I'olonel and Tiieutonant-Colonel are nqar the centre of tlie line ot field and staff; thf A'ljntant, a Mnjor and Suigeon, on the right; the Quartermaster, a Major and A^si-taiit SnrireoJ., on the left. ' 507. Tlie police puard is at the centre of the line of the non-commissioned staff, the tents f icinu: to the front, tiie stacks of arms on the left. 50S. The advanced post of the police pmird is about 200 paces in front of the color line, and opposite the centre of the rciriment, or on the best '.round ; the prisoner's tent about fniir paces in rear. In a rejjiment of the second line, the advanced post of the police guard is 200 naces in rear of tlie line of its field and staff 509. The horses of the staff officers and of the bag.L\a,c:c train are twenty-five paces in rear of the tents of the field and stff; the wagons are parked on the same line, and the men il the train camped near them. 510. Tlie sinks of the men are 150 ^'aces in front of the color line — those of the officc-S 100 paci's in rear of the train. Both are concealed by bushes. When cnvenient, the sinks of tlie men may be placed in the rear or on the flank. A portion of tue earth dug out for sinks to be thrown back occasionally. 511. The front ol the camp o' a regiment of 1000 men in two ranks will fie 400 paces, or one-lifth less space than the number of files, if the camp is to have the .same front as the troops in order of battle. Rik the front may be reduced to 190 paces by narrowing tiie company streets to five paces- and if it be desirable to reduce the front still mote, the tents of companies may be pitched in single tile — those of a division facing on the same street. CAMP OF CAVALRY. 532. Tn the cavalry, each cotnpanj' has one file of tents — the tents opening on the street facing the left ol the camp. 613. The horses o( each company are placed in a single file, facing the opening of the tents, am! are fastened to fiickets planted firmly in the ground, from three to six paces from the tents nf the troops. 511 Tlie interval b- tvveen the file of tents should be such that, the reciment being broken into C' luiin of companies, <:ich com) any elu nid be on the exteusioii ol the lire on which es of the Lieu'cnints are jihiced on the right of their platoons ; those of the (,"aptains .m the right ol the company. 5IS E icli iTorse occupies a space of about two paces. The number of horses in the com- panv li\ leading to it on tl'C side of the cneinv obstrnctrd. 538. TLie necissary orders being given, as in establishing a en nip, the picket and grand guards are posted. A sentinel mav bo placed on a steeple or higii house, and tlicn the troops are marched to the quarters. Che men sleep in the stables, if it is thought uocessa'-y. 539. Tiie above applies in the main to infantry. Near tbe enemy, companies or pla- toons should be collected, as much as possible, in the same houses. If companies tnust be separated, they should be divided by platoon's or squads. All t;ike aims at d:iY-bre;ik. 540. V^hen cavalrv and infantry canton together, the latter furnish the guards by night and the ft)i mer by day. 541. Troops cuntoncd in presence of the enemy, should be covered by advanced guards and natural or artificial obstacles. Cantonments taken during a 1 ho.siiliiies, should be established in rear of a li'ie of defence, and in front of the point on which the tntojis would concentrate to receive an attack. The General conimanding-in chief assigns ti e limits of their cantonments to the divisions, the coniinr.ndcis of divisions to brigades, and tl:e com- mandt^rs of brigades post their regiments. Ihe position for each corps in case o( att; ck is carefully pointed out by the Generals. HEAnQUARTERS. 542. Generals take post at the centre of the'r commands, on tbe m-iin channels of c( mmu- nication. If troops bivouac in presence of the enemy, the Generals bivouac with them. MII.ITARV EXKRCISKS. 543. When troops remain in camp or cantonment man}' days, the Colonels re(|uirf them to be exercised in the school of tlic battalion «nd squadron. Regiments and brigades eu- 544. In the field, verbal orders and important scaled nrder> nri- carried by officers, and, if possible, by staff ttffici rs, When orde-s sue carried by oidirlies, ti e jdace anu time of departure will be marked on them, and place and time of delivery on the receijit. DIsrATClIF.S. 545. Dispatches, partiru'arly for distant coips. should be e.itrusted tmly to officers to whom their contents can be confided. In a country occu|)ied by the enemy, tiie bt-aierol dispatches should by accompanied by at least two of the best nounted uiei ; shoid^ avoid towns and villager, and the main roads ; r.st as little as poss ble. and only at out-o(-i I v way places. VVliere there is (Linger, he should send one of the men in advance, and bo alwavs ready to destroy his dispatclies. He should be adroit in an.svveiing questioi..s about tiic army, and not be intimidated by thieats. WA I CH WORDS. 540. The parole and countersign are iss.i.d daily from the princijial hen'lqnai t.rs of the command. The coiintc r-i^'U is given to the .sentinels and non-couimi.ssioncl oflicrs o( the guards; theparoU- to the coinmissionefl offic»rs of guards. The parole isusuady the numo C'f a General ; the countersign of a battle. 41 ISSUES, THE ROSTER, &c. 547. When the parole and countersign cannot be coiimuni«;ated daily to a post or de- tachment ;vhich oticht to use the same as the main body, a series of words may be sent for some da\ s in advance. 548. If 1 lie countersign is lost, or one of the guarl deserts with it, the commander on the spot will substitute another, and report the case «.t once to the proper superior, that immediate notice may be given to headquartm-s. 549. At what time and for what period issues are made, must depend on circumstances, and 1)6 regulated in orders. When an army is not^pnovinp', rations are generally issued for four days at a time. Issues to the rompani-'s of a regiment, and the fatigues to receive them, ace superintended by an officer detailed from the resriment. Issues are made from one end of the line to the other, tieginning on the right and left alternately. An issue couimeneed on one regiment will not be interrupted for another entitled to precedence if it had been in place. THE ROSTER, OR DETAILS FOR SERVTCE. 550. The duties performed by detail are of three classes. The first class comprises, l.st, grand guards and oui posts; 2d, interior guards, as '»f magazine, hospital, &c ; 3d, order- lies ; 4ttt, police guards. The .svOTrt'Z c/ftiA' comprises, 1st, detachments to protect laborers on military works, as field- work<, couimunicatioas, &c.; 2d, working parties on such works; 3d, detachments to prot' ct fatigues The third class are all fatignes, without arms, in or rut of camp. In the cavalry, stahle-gu.jrds form a sepnrate roster, and coinit before fatigue. 551. The rosters are distinct for each cIhss. 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 liead. 552. Lieutenants form o le roster, and fir-t ai-id second Lieutenants are entered on it alteruaieiy. The senior first Lieutenant is the fir.-^t on tiie roster ; the senior second Lieu- tenant is the second, &c. The Captains form one roster, and are exempt from fatigues, ex- cept to sufierintend issues. A Captain commauding a batt;dion temporarily is exeuipt from de'ail, and duty fdling: to him passes. Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors are on one roster Tliey may be detailed for dntie-* of the first and second clashes, wlien the iinfior- taiice of the guards and detachments requires it. Their roster is kept at division and bri- gade i'eai'quatters. In the company, Sergeants, Corpoials and privates form. dis.tinct rosters. 553. Officers, non-commiueh duty, tnkes, when relieved the dut}^' of th • secor.d or third class that has ialh-n to him during that time, mdess he has marched for detachment of more than twiuitv-fonr h-iurs. 557. S .Idiers inareh with knapsacks on all duties of the first class; and with arms and equip uents c mpiete on all workn.a: parties out of the camp, unless otherwise ordered. lu the eavaU'v. hoi-~es are packed f >r all mounted service. 55S In ttie cavalry dismounted men. and those whose horses are not in order, are pre- ferrc't lor the detail for dismounted service. Those who are mounted are never employed on those .services, if the number of the other class are sufficient. POLICE GUARD. 45 550. Every non-commissioned offlcor and soldier in the cavalry detailed- for dismounted service mu^t, before he marches, take to the first Serc:eant of the troop, or Sereeant of his sqna'1, his hoise equipments and hi-< valise ready packed. In case of alarm, the first Ser- geant spes that the iiorses ol those men are equipped and led to the rendezvous. 560. These rules in regard to the roster apply also to service in garrison. POLICE GUARD. 561. In each regiment a police guard is detailed everyday, consisting of two Sergeants, three Corporals, two drummers, and men enough to furnish the required sentinels and pa- trols. The men are taken from all the companies, from eacli in proportion to its strength. The guard is commanded l>y a Lieutenant, under the supervision of a Captain, as regimen- tal 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 irf the field officer's tents ; and one on each fiank, between it and tiie next regiment. If it is a flank regiment, one more sentinel is posted on the outer flank. 562. An advanced post is detached from the police guard, composed of a Sergeant, a Corporal, a drummer, and nine men to fi^rnish sentinels and the guard over the prisoners. The men are first of the piuard roster from cacj company. The men of the advanced jjost 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 frcmt of the post, opposite the right and left wing of the regiment, posted so as to see as far as possible to the front, and one over the arms. 563. In the cavalry, dismounted men are employed in preference on the police guard. The mounted men on guard are sent in succe-ssion, a p;irt at a time, to groom their horses. The advanced post is always formed of mounted men. 504 In each Company, a Corporal has charge of the stable-guai-d. His tour begins at retreat, and ends at morning stable-call. The stablc-fruard is large enough to relieve the men on post every two hours. Tliey sleop 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 pre- cautions to prevent the escape of loose horses. 565. The offirer of the day is cliargod with the order and cleanlinesss of the camp; a fatigue is furnished to him when the number of prisoners is insufficient to clean the camp, lie has the calls beaten by the drummer of the guard. 5G6 The police guard and the advanced post pay the same honors as other guards. They take arms when an armed body approaches. 567. The sentinel over the colors has orders not to permit theiji to be moved, except in presence of an escort ; to let no one touch them but the color bearer, or the Sergeant of the police guard, when he is accompanied bj- two armed men. 568. The sentinels on the color front permit no soldier to take arms from the stacks, except by order of some oflicer, or a non commissioned 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. 56 J. The sentinels on tho front, flanks, and rear, see that no soldier leave.s camp with horse or arm^. unless conducted by a non-conunissioned olDcer. They prevent non-com- miss'oncd offl'^ers and soldiers from passing out at niirht, except to po to the sinks, and mark if they return. They arrest, at any time, suspicious persons prowling aboiit the cnmp; and at nigi;t, every one who attempts to enter, even the soldiers of other corps. Arre->ted persons are sent to the olTicer of the guard, who sends then, if nece.ssary, to tho officer of the ilay. 570. The sent ncl-' on the front of the advanced post have orders to permit neith^'r non- commissioned officers or soldiers to pass the line, without reporting at the advanced post ; to warn the advanced post of the approach of anv armed body, and to arrest all suspicious persons. The ScrKcant send.-> persons so .nrrestod t^o the officer of the cuard, and warns him of the approach of any armed body. 571. The sentinel over the arms at the advanced post guards the prisoner?-: and keepa sight of them, and suffers m one to converse with them without pcrmis.sion. They are only permitted to go to the sinks one at a time, and under a sentinel. 572. If any one i-< 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 pu-t has him pa=sed over tbo chain. 46 POLICE GUARD. 573. At ret.reat., the officer ot the g;uard has the roll of his guard called, and inspects arms to sit> the post. 576. When neces-ary, 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, aid are visited by his patrols and rounds. 577. The officer of the guard makes his report of his tour of service, including the ad- vanced po.^t. and sends it, alter the guard is marched off, to the officer of the day. 578. When the regimewt marches, the men of the police guard retui n to their compa- nies, except tLosc of the advanced post. In the cavalry, at the sound " boot and saddle," the officer oi the guard S8nds one half the men to saddle and pack: when the regiment assembles, all the men join it. 579. 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 fur- uishes the -entinels required by the commander of the camping party. The advanced f ost takes its station. 58l). The adranced post of the old police guard takes charg-^ of the prisoners on the march, and marches, bayonets fixed, at the eentre of the regiment. On reaching the camp, it turns over the prisoners to the new advanced post. 581. The detail for the picket is made daily, after the details for duty of first class, and from tiie next for detail on the roster of that class. It is designed to lurnish detachments and guards unexpectedly 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. 582. Tiie oflicers. non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the pickft, are at all times dressed and equipped j the horses are saddled, and knapsacks and valises ready to be put on. 583. Detachmeats and guards from the picket are taken from the head of the picket roll in each company, and, if possible, equally from each company. The picket of a regi- ment 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 de- tachment. 584. Officers and men of the picket who march on detachment or guard before retreat, will be replaced. 585. The picket is assembled by the Adjutant at guard mounting ; it is posted twelve paces in rlie rear of the guard, and is inspected by its own commander. When the guard has maiched in review, the commandant of the picket marches it to the left ol the police guard, where it stacks its arms, and is dismissed ; the arms are under charge of the senti- nel o' the police guard. 586. The picket is only assembled by the orders of the Colonel or officer of the day. It forms on the left of the police guard. 587. The cilncer of the day requires the roll of the picket to be called frequently daring the day; the call is sounded from the police guard. At roll-calls and inspection.', infantry pickets assemble with knapsacks on ; cavalry on foot. The picket is'asseuibled at retreat; the officer hasHLhe roll called, and inspects the arms. The pickets sleep in their tents, but without undressing. 588. 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 GRAND GUARDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. • 47 tbose he is to call. They are assembled without beat of drum or otacr noise. At night cavalry pickets a semble muunted. 589. Pickets rejoin their companies whenever the regiment is under arins for revic>v drill, marcli'or battle. GRAND GUAR[S AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. 590. Grand ciiiards are the advanced posts of a cann or cantonment, and should cover the approaches to it. Their number, strwr.gth and position are regulated bv the com- manders of bri;rade<; in detached corp<, by the coniinanding oflicer. When it can be the grand guards of c;iva!ry and infantry arc conibmed, the cavalry fuini'shinc the advanced sentinels. AN lien the cavalry is weak, the grand guards are infantry, but furnished with a few cavalry .soldiers, to get and carry inte!lit. He also vsends to him in the evening a Corporal or trusty man of the guard for the note containin"- tl^ parole and countersign, and .sends them before dark to the detachei posts. He will not suff T his guard to be relieved except by a yruard of the biigade, or by special orders. 596. 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 "round, the better to conceal their strength and observe 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 post.s selected farther to the rear. 597. In broken or in mountainous couniries. and part-cularly if the inhabitants are ill- disposed, intei mediate po-ts must be established when it is necessary to post the grand guard distant from the camp. 598. <>'r.and guards are chiefiy to watch the enemy in front; th'eir flanks are protected by each other, and the camps must furnish posts to protect their rear and secure their retreat. 599. Grand guards are seldom intrenched, and never without the orders of the General, except by a liarricade or ditch, when exposed, in a plain, to attacks of cavalry. t'.OO. The (leneral of Division, if he tliinks proper, ch;inges the stations and orders of these guards, and estMbliNhes posts to ronqect the biigades or jirotect the exteri )r flanks. TiOl. After a grand guard is ported, the first care of the commander and of the field officer of the day is to get news of the enemv; then to reconnoitre his position, and th»? roads, bridges, fords, and defiles. This reconnoisrince determines the force and position of the small posts, anti their sentinels, day and night. These post.s, according to their im- portance, are commanded by officers or non-commissioned officers. The cavalry posts may be relieved every four or eight hours. • 002. The commander of a grind guard receives detailed instructions from the general and field ofiicer of the day rf the brigade, and instructs the commanders of the small posts as to their duties, and the arrangements (or the defence or retreat. 1 he command- ers of grand guards may, in urgent cases, change the positions of the small po«t«. If the small posts arc to change their positions at night, they wait until the grand guard have 48 GRAND GUARDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. '^ot into position, and darkness hides their movements from the enemy; then march silently anil rapil}' under the charge of an officer. t)03. In detnched corps, small posts of picked men are at nighf sent forward on the roads by whicli the enemy may attack or turn the position. They watch the furks of the roads, kst'p silence, cowccal themselves, light no fires, and often change place.- They announce the appro.ich of the enemy by signa's agreed upon, and retreat, by rjutes exam- ined durmg the day, to places selected, and rejoin the guard at daybreak. 604; Grand guards have special orders in each case, and the following in all cases: To inform the nearest posts and the field officer of the day, or the General of Brigade, of the march ai.d movements of the enemy, and of the attacks they receive or fear; to examine everv person passing near the post, particularlv those coming from without; to arrest sus- picious persons, and all soldiers and camp-tbliowers who try to pass out without permission, and to send to the General, unless otherwise directed, sdl country people who come in. 605. All out-guards stand to arms at night on the approach of patrols, rounds, or other parties: the .sentinel .iver the arms has orders to call them out. 60G. Advanced posts will not take arms for inspection or ceremony when it would ex- IX)se tbem to the view of the enemy. 607. Grand guards are often charged with the care and working of telegraphic signals. G08. The sentinels and videttes are placed on points from which they can see farthest, taking care not to break their connection with each other or with their posts. Tiiey are concealed from the enemy as much as possible b}'^ walls, or trees, or elevated gror.nd. It is generally even of more advantage not to be seen than to see far. They should not be placed near cover, where the enemy may capture them. 609. A 'sentinel should always be ready to fire: videttes 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 on it. Sentinels fire on all persons deserting to the enemy. 610. If the [lost must be where a sentinel on it can not communicate with the guard, a corporal and three men are detached for it, or the sentinels are doubled, that one may communicale with the guard. During the day the communication may be made by sig- nals, such as raising a cap or handkerchief. At night sentinels are placed on low ground, the better to see objects against the sky. 611. To lessen the duty of rounds, and keep more men on the alert at night, sentinels are relieved every hour. To prevent sentinels from being surprised, it is sometimes well to precede the countersign by signals, such as striking the musket with the hand, stijiking the hands together, &c. 012. On the approach of any one at night, the sentinel orders — "i/aZi.'" If the order is not obeyed after once repeated, he fires. If obeyed, he ca^is — ^' Wh > goes there?'''' If answered — '■'■ Rounds" or •'■Patrol^''' he says — ^'■Advance wUh the cowtte7-sigu." If more than ( ne advance at the same time, or the person who advances fails to give the counter- sign or signal agreed on, the sentinel fires, and falls back on his guard. The sentinel over the arms, as soon PS his hail is answered, turns out the guard, and the Corporal goes to jeconnoitre. 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 c junter signal. 613. 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. 614. Ihe Cduimandantg of grand guards visit the sentinels often ; change their positions when neces-ary ; make tnem i-epeat their /)rders ; 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. 615. At night, half tke men of the grand guard off post watch under arms, while the rest lie down, arms by their side. The horses are always bridled: the horsemen hold the reins, and must not sleep. 610 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 pbrpose a few at a time : the horsemen being vigilant to prevent them from e caping. 017. An hour before break of day, infantry grand guards stand to arms, and cavalry ENTRENCHED POSTS. 49 mount. At the advanced posts, some of the infantry are all night under arms ; some of the cavalry on horseback. (jl8. The co:iiiriandei- of a grand guard regulates the numbers, the hours, and the march of patrols and rounds, accord, ng to clie strength of his troop and the necessity for precau- tion; and. acompjinicd b)' those wiio are to command the patrols and rounds during the nieht, he will reconnoitre :ill tlie routes they are to follow. 019. Patrols iiiii rounds march .slowly, in silence, and with great precaution — halt fre- qiientl}' to listen, and examine the ground. The rounds consist ot an officer or nou- eommissi.ined officer, and two or three men. 020. Toward tiie 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 au enemy, but with great caution, to avoid being cut oft', or enjiaged in an unecjual combat; if they meet the eneuiy, the}' lire and attempt to stop his march. While tJi ; patrols are out the posts are under arms. (521. Cavalry patrols should examine the country to a greater distance than infantry, and report to the infantr}' guard every thing they observe. The morning patrols and scouts do not return until broad daylight ; and wlieu they return, the night sentinels are withdrawn, and the posts for the day resumed. 022- When patrols are sent beyond the advanced posts, the posts and sentinels should be warned. r)2o. On their return, commanders of patr«ls report in regard to the ground and every tbi is: they have observed of the movements of the enemj-, or of his posts, and the coiu- munda it of the grand guard reiKiits to the Held .officer of the daj'. 024. The fires of the grand guards should be hidden by a wall, or ditch or other screen. To deceive the enemy, tires are sometimes male ou ground not occupied. Fires are not permitted at small posts liable to surprise. 025. The horses of cavalry guards are watered or fed by detachments ; during which the rest are ready to mount. 026 If a body of troops attempt to enter the camp at night, unless 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 guards, he stops them, and sends the commander under escort to the fn Id officer of the day, and warns the post near him. 627. Bearers of Hags are not permitted to pass the outer chain of sentinels; tkeir fares are turned from the post of army ; if necessary their eyes are bandaged ; a uon-ommis- sioned o'Ticer stays with them to prevent iiulisorotiun of the sentinels. 628. The commandant of the grand guard receipts for dispatches, and sends them to the field officer of the day or General of Brigade, and dismisses tiie bearer; but if he has dis- covered what ougiit to V'C concealed from the enemy, he is detainud as long as necessary. 629. Deserters are disarmed at the advanced posts, and sent to the commander of ti.e grand guard, who gets from them all the information he can concerning his post. If many come at nia;ht they are received cantitjiishj, a far at a time. They are sent in the morning to the held officer of tiie day, or to the nearest post or camp, to be conducted to the tien- eral of the brigade. All suspected per.sons are searched by commanders ol the posts. 630. Wiien an enemy advances to an attack, unless be is in too great force, or the grand guard is to defend an intrenched post or a defile, it will take positions and execnte the movements to check the enemy, acting as skirmishers, or fighting in close or open orc'er as may be best. The fjuard joins its corps when in line, or when a suflicient number of troops have reached the ground it defends. ENTUENCIIKD POSTS. 631. Unless the array be acting on the defensive, no po.st should be intrenched, except to cover the weak parts of the line, or at points which the enemy cannot avoid, or in moun- tain warfare, or to the close of a defile, or to cover winter quarters. 632. Posts connected with the operation.-' of an army are intrenched onlj* by order of the General coinmandirg-in-chief or a (ieneralof Division. 6.33. Any intrenchment that rei^uires artillery i.s considered as a post, and a guard or garrison and commander are assipned to it. 6.'J4. The Genera! who establishes an intrenched post gives to its commander detailed incttructions in regard to its defense, aud the circumstances under which the defense should cea.se. 635. The commander reconnoitres bis post; Jistributcs the troops; post the officers and D 50 DETACHMENTS. • non-commissioned officers ; forms a reserve ; gives orders for all contingencies he can fore- see ; supposes an attack, and arranges his troops for dtft-nce, so as to prepare them for an attark day or night. 636.

DKTACHMKNTS. 637. When a detachment is to be formed from tbe different regiments of a brigade, the Assistant Adjutant- General of tbe brigado nssembigs it, and turns it over to the coni- mandor. 638. When a detachment is to be formed from different brigades, the Assistant Adjiitant- Ueneral in each, forms the contingent of tbe brigade, and sends it to the pbice of assembling. 639 Detachments are general!}' formed by taking battalions, squadrons, companies, platoons in turn, according to tbe roster for such detail. 640. "When the detachment is to consist of men from ef cry company or troop, the first on the roter for guard are taken. 641. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, whose tour it is to go on detach- ment, if employed otherwise at the time, are relieved from the duty they are on, if they can reach the camp in time to march with the detachment. 642. When detachments meet, the command is regulated while they serve together as if they formed one detachment. But tbe senior officers cannot prevent the commander of any detachment ifrom moving, when he thinks proper, to execute the orders he has re- ceived. 643. On the retnrn of a detachment, the commander reports to the head-quarters from which he received his orders. RECOKNOISANCES. 644. Near an enerav, daily reconnoisances are made to observe the ground in front, and to discover whether the advanced guards of the eneny have been increased or put in mo- tion, or any other sign of his preparation for march or action. 64r>. They are made by small parties of cavahy and infantry, from the brigade, under direction of tbe Qciseral of Division or tho General of a separate brigade, and to less dis- tance by the pastoral of tbe grand guard, aixl are not repeated at tbe same hour or by tbe same route. On ti;e plain, reconnoisances are made by cavalry ; among mountains, by infantry, with a few hor.-emen to carry intelligence. 646. Keconnoitering parties observe the following precautions: to leave small posts, or sentinels at inteivals, to transmit intelligence to the advanced posts of an army, unless tbe return is to be by a different route: to march with caution, to avoid dghting ; and see, if possible, witi)out being seen ; Co keep an advanced guard; to send well mounted men ahead of the advanced guard ; and on the ilank of the party ; to instruct the scouts that no two should enter a defile or mount a hill together, but to go o le at a time, while one watclies to carry tbe news if the other is taken. 047. Before daybre'-ik tho advanced guard and scouts are drawn clo-er ; tjie party then march slowly and silently, stop frequently to listen, and keep the horses that neigh in tbe rear. The party should enter no wood, defile, village, or inclosurc, until it has been fully examined by the scouts. 648. Special reconnoisances are made nnder the instruction of the General in command, by 8iich officers and witli such force as be may direct. 649. Offensive or forced reconnoisances are to ascertain with certainty points in the en- emy's position, or bis strength. They are sometimes preludes to real actions, and some- times only demonstrations. 'J hey drive in bis outposts; and sometimes engage special corps of his line. They are only made by order of the General commanding-in-chief, or the commander of an isolated corps. 650. In all reports of reconnoisances, the officer making them shall distinguish expressly PARTISANS AND FLANKERS. 61 what be has seen from the accounts he has not been able to verify personally. 651. In !?pecial and olleiisive rccoiinoisances, the report must be accompanied by a field- sketch of the localities, the dispositions and defences of the enemy. PARTISANS AND FLANKERS 652, The operations of partisan corps depend on the nature and theatre of the wa"* ; they enter into the p^ereral plan of operations, and are conducted under the orders of the Gen- eral C()inmandin to disperse the escort. A part of the detachment attacks the main body of the escort, another the wagons, and a third in reserve ; skirmishers line tlie 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. OOn. ]f the convoy is parked, the cavalry surrounds it, assails the escort, and tries to draw it away from the train. 'J'he 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 infantry. 004. If it is a large convoy, the principal attack is made on the centre; the most valu- able wagons are also selected and additional horses are put to them if the attack h suc- ce.s.sfui. Those that caimot be carried off are burned. MARCHES. 605. The object of the movemerit and the nature of the ground determine the order of march, the kind of troops in earcli column, and the number of columns. 006 The force is divided into as many columns as circumBtanoc« permit, without weak- ening any one too much. They ought to preserve thv*ir communications, and be within supporting distance of each oilier. The commander of each column ought to know the strength and direction of the others. 667. The advance and rear guards are usually light troops ; their strength and composi- tion depend on the nature ol the ground and the position of the enemy. Thcj scn'e to 52 MARCHES. cover the movements of the army, and to hold the enemy in check until the General has time to make his arrangements. 6G3. 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 moveme.it. Sappers are attached to the advanced guard if required. CG9. The ^^ gene ml, '^^ sounded one hour before the tiir.e of marching, is the signal to strike tents, to load the wagons, and paclc hor>e.«, and send "them to tlie place of assem- bling. The fires are then put out, and care taken to avoid burning straw, &c., ©r giving to the enemy any other indication of the movement. 670. The "march," will be beat in the infantry, and the "advance" sounded in the cavalry, in succcs-sion, as eacli is to take its place in the column. 671. When the army should form suddenly to meet tbe enemj', the "long rolV^ is beat, and "to horse'^ sounded. Tiie troops form rapidly in front of tlieir camp. 672. .Batteries of artillery and their caissons move with •^he corps to which thev are attached; the field train and ambulances march at the rear of the column; and the bag- gage with the rear guard. 073. Cavalry and infantry do not march together, unless the proximity of the enemy makes it necessary. 674. 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 ramp later, and can give more lest to the horses, and more attention to the shoeing and harness. Horses are not bridled until the time to start. 675. When neces.sary, the orders spe ify the rations the men are to carry in their hav- ersacks. The field clScers and Captains make inspections frequently during the march; at halts they examine the knapsacks, valises and haversacks, and throw awa)' all articles not authorized. The officers and non-commissioned officers of cavalry companies attend personally to the packs and girths. 676. When it can be avoided, troops should not be assembled on high roads or other places where they interrupt the communicatioK. 677. G^inerals of Division and commanders of detached corps send a staff officer to the rendezvous, in advance, to receive the troops, who, on arriving:, take their place in the order of battle, and form in close column, unless otherwise ordered. Artillery, or trains halted on the roads, form in file on one side. 678. 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. 679. If possible, each column is preceded by a detachment of sappers, to remove obsta- cles to the march, aided, when necessary, by infantiy, 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. 6S0 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. 681. On the march, no one shall fire a gun, or cry "/m?<," or "march," without orders. 682. Soldiers are not to stop for water: the canteens should be filled before starting. 68'j. It is bettor to avoid villages; but if the route lies through them, officers and non- commissioned officers are to be vigilant to prevent straggling. Halts should not take place at villages. 68-f. Besides the roar guard, the General sometimes takes a detachment from the last regiment, and adds to it non-commissioned oflicers from each regiment, to examine villages and all hiding-places on the route, to bring up stragglers and seize marauders. 68.'). In night marches, the Sergcant-Major of each regiment remains at the rear with a drummer, to give notice when darkness or difficulty stops the march. In cavalry, a trum- pet is pla ;ed in rear of each squadron, and the signal repeated to the head of the regiment. 680. Tiie General and field officers frequently stop, or send officers to the rear, to see that the troeps 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. 687. In approaching a defile, the Colonels are warned ; they close their regiments as they come up: each regiment passes separately, at an accelerated pace, and in as close order as possible. The leading regiment having pas.sed, and left room enough for the BATTLES. 53 wliole colnmn in close order, then halts, and moves af;;ain as soon as the la!=t regiment is tbronirl). In the cavalry, each squadron, before quickening the pace to rejoin the column, takes its oritrinal order of march. O'^S. When the distance from the enemy permits, each regiment, after closing up in front an'l rear of the defile, stacks arms. CiSl). Halts to rest and re-form the troops are frequent during the day, depending on the objct and length of the march. They are mar'e in preference after the passage of defiles. COO No honors are paid hy troops on the march or at halts. COl. The sick march with the wagons. fi02. Li»d horses of officers, and tlie hi^rses of dismounted men, follow their regiment. The haggate w aeons never march in the column. When the tJeneral orders the field train and ambulances to take place in the column, he designates the position thev shall take. Ci9?, If two corps meet on the same road, they pass to the right, and both continue th( ir march, if the road is wide enough; if it is not, the first in the order of battle takes the road — the other hairs. G\H. A corps in march must not b« cit hy another. If two corps meet at cross-roads, that which arrive^ last halts if the other is in motion. A corps in march passes a corps nf a liait, if it has precedence in the order of battle, or if the halted corps is not ready to move at once. 095. A column that halts to let another column pass resumes the march in advance of the train of thi>< column. If a column has to pass a train, the train must halt, If neces- sary, fill the colnmn passes. The column which has precedence must yield it if the com- mander, on seeing the orders of the other, finds it for the interest of the service. GOCt. Dispositions for battle depend on the number, kind, and quality of the 'troops opposed, on tie cr und, and on the objects of the war; but the following rules are to be obsiTvcd generally; C)97. In attacking, the advanced guard endeavors to capture the enemy's outposts, or cut thent off from the main body. Having done so. oi' driven them in. it occupies, in advanrinsr. all the f^o nts that can cover ' r facilitate the march of the army, or secure its retr.at, such as bridtrcs, defiles, woods, and heights: it then make* attacks, to occupy the ene.ny, without ri>king too much, and to deceive them as to the march and projects of the aruiy. • 698. When the enemy is hidden by a curtain of advanced troops, the commandant of the advanced guard send* scouts, under intellisent officers, to the right and left, to a.so receive a ehir.-e at a hal', but to meet it, or. if nr)t stroncr enon^di. to retire manoeivring ; anj in orler to be rea'ly for the pnr-iiit. and prej^arcd against a lerer-e. or the attacks of the re>erre, not to engage all it> scpiadions at once, but to reserve one third, 64 BATTLES. in column or in eclielon, abreast of or in the rear of one of the wings: this arrangement is better than a second line with intervals. 705. In the attack, the artillery is emploj'ed to silpnce the batteries that prntect the position. In tlie defence, it is better to direct its fire on the advan.-ing troop*. In either case, as many pieces are united as possible; the lire of artillery being foi'inidable in pro- portion to its concentration. 706. In battles and military operations it is better to assume the offensive, and put the enemy on the defensive: but to be safe in doing so requires a larger force than the enemy, or better troops, and favorable ground. When obliged to act on the defensive, tlie advant- age of position and of making the attack may sometimes be secured by forming in rear of tlie ground on which we are to fight, and advancing at the moment of action. In* mount- ain warfare, the assailant has always the disadvantage ; and even in offensive warfsire, in the open field, it may frequently be very important, when the artillery is well posted, and any advantage of the ground may be secured, to await the enemy and com[jel him to attack. 707. The attack should be made with a superior force on the defensive point of the enemy's position, by masking this by false attacks and demonstrations on other points, and by concealing the tr„ops intended for it by tiie ground, or by other troops in the front. 708. Besides the arrangements which depend on ttie .supposed plan of the cnemv, the wings must be protected by the ground, or supported by troops in echelon: if the attack of the enemy is repulsed, the ofTensive must at once be taken to inspire the troops, to disconcert the enemy, and often to decide the action. In thus taking the oflen.-ive, a close column should bo pushed rapidly on the wing or flank of the enemy. The divisions of this column form in the line of battle successively, and each division moves to the front as ?oou as formed, in order, by, a rapid attack in ec!iel n, to prevent the enemy from ciiang- ing front or bringing up his reserves. In all arrangements, e-pecially in thos^• for attacks, it is most important to conceal the design until the moment ot e>ecution, and t hen to execute it with the greatest rapidity. The niglit, therefore, is preferred for the movement of troops on the flank or rear of the enemy, otlurwi-e it is necessary to mask their march by a grand movement in front, or by takmg a wide circnit. 70'j. In making an attack, the communicati'ins to the rear and for retreat must be secured, and the General must give beforehand all necessary orders to provide lor that event. 710. When a success is gained, the light troops should pursue the enemy promjitly and rapidly. The other troops will restore order in their cohimns, then advance fi'om pu--ition to position, always prepared lor an attack or to support tiie troops engaged. 711. Before the action, the Generals indicate the places where they will be: if the^' change position, they give notice of it, or leave a staff ulBcer to show where they have gone. 712. During the fight the officers and non-commi-sioned officers keep the men in the ranks, and enforce obedience if necessary. Soldii rs mu>t not be permitteil to leave the ranks to strip or rob the dead, nor to assist the woundeil, unless by express pi^rmission, which is only to be given after the action is drcided. The hiy,hest interest and duty is to ■win the victory, which only can in>nre proper- caic of the woiindrd. 713. Before the action, the Qnar'termaster of ti>e division makes all the necessary arrangements for the transp 'rtatinn of the wounded. lie establishes the ambulance depot- in tlie rear, anil gives i is avssistants the necesaiy instruction for the service of the amVjulance wairons and otiier means of removing the woui'^ded. 714. The ambulance depot, to which the wounded are carried or directed for immediate treatment, is lienrraPy establi.-heii at the uiosr. convenient building neare.•^t the tiehl of batt'e. A red jIki marks ii„s place or the way to it, to the conductors of tlie ambulances and to the wounded who can walk. 715 The active ainbulanci-s f >llow the tioop> eug^iged to succor the wounded and re- move them t- the dep its ; for this purpose Mie conductors should always have the mces- sary assistants, that the sold er- may have no excuse to leave the ranks for that object. 716. The medical director of the division, after con-ultaiion with the Quariii master- General, distribures tb(^ medicid uffle.'rs and hospital attendants at his dispos 1, to the de- pots and active ambulances. He wdl send oliiceis and afendants when practicable, to the active ambulance^, to reli'Ve the wounded who reqit re treatment before being I'emoved from the groimd. He vyill see t at the depots and ambulances are provided with the nece-sar apparatus, medicines and scores. lie. wdl tike po-^-t and render his proiesniona! services at the principal depot. PRISONERS OF WAR. 55 717. Tf tlic enemy endanerer the depot, the Qaarteriuaster takes the orders of the Gen- eral to remove it or strengthon its rrnard. 718 Tlie woiinde'1 in the depots and 'lie sick are reraoved as soon as possible to the hospitals tliat iiave been established b}' the Quartermaster-General of the ariDy on the Hanks or rear of the army. 71'J. Alter an action, the ofTiSors on ordnance duty collect the munitions of war left on the tield, and make a ietnrnof ti)eni to the Gener-1. The Qaarteriua>ter's Department C(jliects the rest of the public property, captured, and make> the returns to head-qnarters. 72(1. Written reports for the (jeneral comiiiandin^-in-chief are made by commnndants of regiments, batteries, and separate s«piiidrons, and by ail commanders of a higher grade, each in what concerns his own command, and to iiis immediate commander. 721. When an ofHeer or soldier desi rves mention for conduct in action, a special report shall he made in his case, and tiie lieneral coiymandin-.'-in cliief decides whether to men- tion him in his report to the governmeiit and in liis orders. But he sliall not oe mentioned in the report until be has been mentioned in the orders to the arwiy. These special re- ports are exfimined with care by the nitermediate ooi>>manders, to verilj' the facts, and secwrc commendation and rewaids to tiic meritorious only. 722 The report of battles, which nn)st Incpieutl}' be made before these special reports of per-ons are scrutinized, is coulined to general praise or blame, and an account ot the operations. TRISONERS OF WAR. 72.'>. Prisoners of war w'ill be disarmed and sent to tha rear, and reported as soon as practicable to the liead quarters Tie return of prisoners from the herd quarters of the army to tlie War Department will specify tii^ number, rank, and corps. 724. The private propeity of prisoners will be duly respected, and each shall be tieat^d with the n gard due to his rank T ley are to obey the neces-^ary orders given them. They receive for sn>is!sience one ration e^ch, without re}:^rd to rank; and the wounded are to be treated with the same care as the wounded of tlie army. Othei' allowances to them will depen-^ on conventions with the enemy. Prisoner's horses will be taken for the army 725. kxcimnees of prisoners and release of officers on parole depend on the orders of the General commanding-iu-chief, undtr the instructions of governmeut. CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORlS. 726. The strength and composition of the escort i)f a convoy depend on the country, the natnr? and valu^' of tiie convoy, and the dangers it may iu'ur. A larger escort is required for a coiivov of powder, that the defense may not be near the train. 727. Oav:dry is finploxed in escorts chiefly to reconnoitre; the proportion is larger as the <-oiinrrv i.> more open. 728. Pioneers or working parties are attached to convoys to mend roads, remove ob- stacles, ,'ind er-'Ct detenNC.s. The convoys should always be provideii with spare wheels, poles, axles, cort should receive detailed instructions in w liting. 7ijO. As far as the defense permits, the commander of tlie e,»cort shall refer to tiie oflS- cer in clmrire of the convoy for th(} Iwurs of departure, the halts, the parking and orloi of the train, and the precautions against accidents. 731 tUficers wSo Mccouqiany the convoy, but do not btlong to the ocort, shall e.xerci.se no author t\ in it except by consent of tie commander. 1 tiie-e ofBc^^rs are junior to tljc commaii'ter. he may assign t^em to dutv if the defense requires it. 7.'^2.

In an open country the iu.iin body inarches by the side of the road, oppo-site the 56 CONVOYS AND THETR ESCORTS- centre of the convoy, in other cases, at the head or rear of the column, as the one or the otlier is more exposed. 786. The' advance guard precedes the convoy f^r enon?;h to remove all obstncles to its advance. It examines the woods, defiles, and villages, and by mounted men gives infor- mation to the commander, and receives his orders. It reconnoitres plaees for halts and park-;. 737. If the head of the column is threatened, the advanced guard seizes the defiles and places which the enemy niiglit occupy', and holds them until the main body advances to the front and relieves it; the main body holds tlie po-itions until the head of the convoy arrives, and then leaves detachments, which are relieved by the partiiis marching with the division-^: the posts are not abandoned until the whole convoy has passed and the posi- tion is no longer imi)ortant. 7u8 When the rear is threatened, like measures are taken ; the rear guard defends the grounds and retards the enemy by breaking the I rid ires and blocking the road. 739. If the flinks are threatened, and the ground is hrnken, and many defiles are to be passed, the defense of the convoy becomes more difficult; the advance and rear guards ni'u>t be reduced, tlie flanks strengthened, nnd 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 roaches them, and until it has passed. 740. If the convoy is large and has to pass f.la(;es that the force and position of the em-m^' make daiit'crou^, the loss of the wliole convny mii-;t not be ri-ked ; it ni' st pass by divisions, which reunite after the passage. In this case the greater part of the troops guard the fir-t division; they seize the important points, and covei' th<^m with Iigl)t troops, or. if necessary, with small posts, and hold tliem until all thedivisions have passed. 741. If there i^ arfillcrv in i he convoy, the commanrlerol theescort uses it for the defense. 742 To move faster and make the defense easier, the wacons move iji double file when- evf-r the road allows it. It a wagon breaks, it is at once removed from the road ; when repauvd. it takes the rear; when it cannot be repaired, its load and horses are distributed to some of the other wagons kept in tlie rear 'br t4iat purposis. 743 Convoys by water are esforted on the same principles. Each boat has a small in- fantiy guard ; one portion of the escort precedes or follows the convoy in boats. The cav- alry marcli opposite tlie convoy ; the advance aud rear guard move by land, and all are connvCted by flankers with the convoy. Where a river runs through a narrow vadey, the bod}- of the infantry moves by land to prevent the enemy from occupying the heights and di-turbing the convoy. 744. Convoys halt every hour to let the horses take breath and the wagons close up. Long halts are made but seldom, and only in plices that have been reconnoitered and foun I favorable for rlefence- At niudit the park is arranged for delence. and in preference at a di-tance from inhabited places, if in an enemy's countr}^ 745. The wa'jrons f.re usually parked in raidcs. axle again.st axle, the poles in the same direction, and with sufficient s| ace between t!ie ranks for the h(U'ses. If an a'tack is feip'd, they are park''d in square, the hind whei'ls out ide, and the hnrses inside. 740. On the appearance of the enemy durinL" the march, the commander closes up the w.igon-^ nnd continties his march in nrver ; lie avoids fighting; but if the' enemy >eizes a po-itinn that commands his road, he attacks vigorously with the mass of his (orce. but is not to continue the pursuit far from the convoy. Tl e convoy halts, and resumes the march when the positiim is carried. 747. When the enei-n}' is too strong to be atta'ke.l, tlie convoy is parked in square if there is v( om ; .if not cl sed up in double file ; at the front and rear tiie road is blocked by wagons acr tss it. The drivers are dismounted at the heads of the hor-es T ie\ are not poruiitted to make their escape. The li'.rht ttoips keeii the enemy at a distance as long as possihlc, and are supported when necessan-, but prudently, as tlie troops nm-t be k<'pf in hand to re-ist the main attack. - 748 If a wagon takes fire in the park, remov- it if possible; if not, reuu ve *\r t the ammunition wagons, then those to leeward of the fire 749. W^hen a whole ci(>n. Wltn the march is by brigade, the .senii r regimental Quartermasrer in the brigade, or the Quartermaster of the brigade has the direction ot the whole. 'I he necessary wagon-masters, or non-con mi.-sioaed ollicer.s to act as such, are employed with the .several trains. 753. None but the authorized wat'ons: re allowed to march with the train. The wajron.s of the several head-qnarters. the regimental waL'ons, and the wagons of sutlers authorized by or'ers from head-quarters tomarch with thetiain, are all to he conspicuously maiked. 754 Wl en the train of head-qnarters is to have a guard, the strength ot the guard is regulated by the General. (jeneraU ot IWitiade puaid their trams by the men attached to the train of the first regiment of their brigaoes. The regimental trains ;ire loaded, unloaded, and guarded, as far as practicHlile, by convalescents and men not ( ff'ective in the ranks; ir f : e cavalry, by disuionnieh men.

The compensation to be accorded to deserters, (or such objects, will be according; to appraisement male under the direction of the Qiiarterma-ter.- Department. The enlistment of deserters, without express permis.sion from general headquarters, is prohibited. 764. It is f'rbidden to purchase horses without ascertaining the right of the party^ to sell. Stolen iior>es shall be re-tored. Estrays, in the enemy's country, when the owner is not di-coveied, are taken for the army. 7G5. Plundering and marau-'iig, at all times disgraceful to soldiers, when committed on the persons or property of those whom it is the dnt}^ of the army to protect, become crimes of such enorm.ity as to aflmit of no remission of the awful punishment which the military law awards against oii'enccs of tliis nature. SAFEGUARDS. 766. Safeguards are protections granted to persons or property in foreicrn parts by the commaiiiling general, or by other commanders within the limits of tlieir couuiiand 7t)7. Safeguard-' are iisnally given to protect lio.spitals, public establishments, establish- ments ot relitiion, cliarity, or instruction, mu-eum>, drpo-itories of the aits, mill>, post- offices and other institutions of public benelit: also to individuals whom it may be .the interest of tlije army to respect. 708. A sah'guard may consist of one or more men of fidelity and firmness, generally non-efiecrive non-CMmmis-sioned officers, furnished witli a paper setting out clearly the pro- tection and exemptions it is intended to secure, siiiiicl hv tlie commander giving it, and his stfiff -.Itica' ; oi- it iway con-ist of such [)aper, oeliveied to the p;irty wlio.~e person, family, hou.-e and propert}' it is designed to protect. These safeguards must be numbered and registered. 769. Tiie men left as salegnards by one corps may be replaced b\ another. They are withdrawn wht-n tlie country is evacuated; hut if not, tliey have orders to aw.dt the arrival of th^ enem\ 's troops, and apply to the commander for a safe-conduct to the outposts. 770.

Tlio commandants of engineers and artiillery accompany the firsts roops before tlie place to examine the woiks and the approaches. 'SVlien the encineer-« Lave conipleted the reconnoi>ance of the works, and of each fnnt as far as practicable, the conjnandant of engineeis makes ;i| Ian ol the works as exact an(i detailed as possible, and under the instructions of the general commanding the siege, draws up.th^ general plan of the siege, and discusses it with the commamlant of artillery in regard to the best employment of that arm. Tlice officers then submit tlieir joint or separate opinions to the Ge. erai, who dcc-.des on the plan of the siege, and givis the urders for the execution. Tiie coinniandant of engii'eers directs the con^Jtruction < f all the works of the si branch of the service. 775. The Qnartermaster-General establishes the hospitals, and organizes the means for ti'anspoi tir.g the wounded to tiiem. 776. The commanding general afipoints a field oflicer of the trenches, who is aided by one or tW'i captains or lieutenants. 777. Tiie fi(*ld officer of' the tnnches is cliarged with all the details relative to the assembling of the guards and the workmen. He distributes the guanls on the difierent points I f the attack, agreeably to the oi/lers of the general of the trenches, and torms the detacliments of workmen for the engineer,^ and artillery. That he tnay be prepared for this di>tributi('n, he receives every dny, from the Adjutant-General, a statement cd' tie details lur the next day. 778. On the arrival of the general of' tiie trenches, the field officer of the 1 reaches gives hill' all the infonuativin nece>s;irv to enable him to .station the troops; attends him in his vi orders on the changes to uinke in the poMtion of the troop-. T! e execution is iutru-ted to the commandants ol the troops. 779. I '.e field officer of the trenelie.- sees that men and litters are always reaily to bring ofl' the wounded. One or more companies of the guards of tletninhes are put under ln~ immediate orders for tiie preset vation of order and police in the trenches. 7W. The divi-iou», bngaiies, regiment* and battalions, are encamped duiir^g the siege in the order of battle, xhe service of ii furnishes two, the .tiier one, alteinately. The two '>attalions of tne same divi-tons Mre not taken from the same brigade. 783. 'I'he detail for wirk of the tr- nciie.s i^ by company, from all the regiments at one time, or in turn, and continues ixeuerfd'v twelve hours. The detail from any regiment .should ni ver be Ifess than a company. It only half a company would be needed Iroin all the reiriiiii ntx t a tmie, ever\ otiicr re<;iment furnishes a lull company alurnateiy. 784 Tiie baitalions for guard are deiaih d sit least twelve hours in advame: ihey furn- ish no oiher detads during this tour. If ihe whole regiment is callid out, it ba\es a Ruf- ticient polic' guard in e.imp. 785 Iwemy-foiir hours, or twelve at |ea«t, before mounting fiuard in the trenches, the butt:ilinii> detaded for guard do not (urnisli >vorkmen ; ami the (O'op! nies o) tlise bat- talion- who-p tour it would have t-eeii to work in tli<> trenches do not yo there for iwenty- four h' iir- after L'uajd, if possible, or at tlie least twelve. 786.

SUCH as fa.sciue-, pHbiona, hurdles, pickets, Ac , sue furn- ished by the dif!* ral may vary the hour of relieving guar«l-. 791. The chiefs of engineers and artiMery make nquisitions for w.ukmen ii advance 60 SIEGES. that the details rnay be made in time to prevent any delay in the work. They should excei'd the number strirtiy required, that there may be a re-erve for unforeseen wants. If thi^ reserve is found in.-ufGcient, the General directs the field officer of the trenches to call on the picket. 702. Before the guards and workmen march, the field officer of the trenches arranges th«-'m SM rimt each detacliment can reacli its pround without confu>ion. The troop are po t d in the trenches accordinjr to the position of their regiments in the order of b ttle, and, as far as possible, the companies of workmen m like order. The reserves of workmen are placed at the depot of the trenches, or the neare>t suitable place to the W( rks. 7'j;j. The workmen leave their knapsacks and swords in cainp, and march with their fire arms and cartridge-Vjoxes, wliich they pla' e near them wliile at work. They always carry their overcoats, to cover them in resting or when wounded. 7'J4. Tiie guards always enter the trenches with arms trailed, and the workmen also, unless rhey carrj^ materials or tools, wher the arms are in the sling. 795. 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 Hank, with trailed arms. 79(). 8and-basrs, forming loop-holes, are placed at intervals on the parapet to protect the sentintls ; they are more nume.ous than the sentinels, so that the enemy may not know Where tlie sentinels aie pl.aced. 7'.J7 VV^heu detachments are placed at night in advaiice of the trenches, to cover the workmen, the men sit or lie down, wirli their fire-arms in their hands, to hide tiiem>elves better Ir -m tiie enemy ; the sentmels put their ears to the ground frequently, th:it they may hear the troops coming out of the place. To prevent mistakes, the workmen are told what troops cover t'lem 7'J8 No honors are paid in the trenches. When the General commnnding the siege visits them, the i;uard.> place thenselves in rear of the banquette, and rest (m their arms. Thec)lors are never earned to the tienches unless the wliole regiment marches to repulse a sortie or make an assault. Even in this ca^e, they are not displivcd until the General coiiimiindinu; the .-iege gives a formal or'l<>r. 7'jy. Tlie materials of the sieiTO of all kmds, tourether with the tools, are collected in part at the 'fepots of the trenches, and in part at.tli!> opening of rhe trenches, or in such other (ihice as lias been appointed for tiie conveu'ence of the seivi^'e by the field officers of tiie trenches, on tiie advice of the chiefs of artillery and engineers. Thev are in charge of offi ers of eiiginee-.'s and artillery, with iruards or non-conimi.ssiai ed officer^ of b'->th Corp.

Cartridges, when ceded, are'sent to tlie trencies on the reqni irion of commanders of battalions, approv'-d iiv the General of the trenches. 802. Ill t e case o( a sortie, the guards move npidly t > tlie places that have been desig- nati'"J b-. the General of tlie trench s, and which afford the best defence for tliC head of the wor.ss, the batteries, the commiiiiir>aiions, or the iianks, or best enable them to take the SOI t^e it elf in fl..nk or reverse Havin.'.

Wlien these duties are not sulKcient to employ tlicm, they take their share of the duty of the trenches. 807. Tiie oilicers of engineers ami artillery of the trenches make to the General of the trenches a return of all looses in their troops, and such ofher reports on the work as he requires, in addition to the reports direct to their respective chiefs on the details of the service. 808. At the end of each tour, the field officer of the trendies draws up a report for the twenty-f'ur hours to the General of the trenches. The General of the trenches reports to the General commanding the siege. 809. The commandei-s of the several corps in the trenches report, when relieved, to their respective headquarters the losses during the tour, and the conduct of the officers and men. 8i0. However practicable the broach may appear, or however ruined the work in rear of it, the heads of columus must always be supplied with ladders to get over unexpected obstacle.s. 811. The General commanding the siege designates picked companies to protect pro- perty and persons, and prevent pillage .and violence, from tho moment the place is carried. The offioer-i exert themselves to restrain the men. 812. The (Jeneral designates the places requiring particular protection, such as churches, as-ihnns, hospitals, colleges, schools and magazines. The order of their protection should remind the .soldiers, at the time, of the penalty of disobeying it. 813. Whether the place be taken by assault or by capitulation, the provisions and the military stores, and the public funds, are reserved for the use of the army. 814. The commander of enirineers will keep a journal of the siege, showing the opera- tions of each day in detail, the force employed on the work, the kind and quantity of materials U8<»d in them, &c. He will al.so mark on a plan of the ground the daily progres.s of the works, and make the necessary diawings explanatory of their construction. 815. The commander of the artillery will keep a diily journal of the operations under his direction, showing the number and kind of pieces in battery, the force empl()\ed in serving them, the kind and quantity of ammunition expended, the number of rounds fired from each piece of ordnance, the ellect of the fire, and all other particulars relative to his branch of the service. 816. These journals and drawings will be sent after the siege, with the report of the General to the "War Department. ' DEFENCE or FORTIFIED PLACES. 817. In war, every comm.ander ef a fortified place shall always hold himself prepared with his plan of defence, as if at any time liable to attack. He arranges this plan accord- ing 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 garri.son according to his plan of (hfcnce. In sea coast works he provides the instructions for the diiferent batteries on the approach of ships. 818. In framing his plan, ho studies the works and the exterior within the radius of attack and investment, the .strenixtli of tin- garrison, the artil ery. the munitions «>f war, subsistence and supjdies of all kind, and take immediate measures to procure whatever is deficient of trof>ps or supplies, either by requisition on (he Government, or from the means put at his di.sposal. 819. On the approach of an enemy, lie 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, or embrasures, &c., are in a proper stjite of .security. H20. He shall be furnisln^d 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 tho environs within the radius of investment ; with a map of the vicinity, includ- ing the neighboring work'^, roads, water channels, coasts, .tc, with a memoir explaining the situation and defences of the place, and the relations and bearings of the several works on each other, and on the approaches by land and water — all which he carefoMy j)reserve8 and communicates only to the council of defence. ■62 TROOPS ON BOARD OP TRANSPORTS. 821. He consults bis next in rank, and the senior officer of the engineers and of the artiUpry, oit'ier separately, or as a council of defence. In the latter Ciise, lie designates an offi'x^r to act as secrer.irv to the council, and to recor i their proceedinsis and theirjoint or separate opinion^, which are to be kept secret during the siege. The members may record their (^pinions under their own signature. In all cases, the commander decides on bis own tespoiisihility. 822. The commander of the place, and the chiefs of engineers and of artillery, shall keep journals of the de^nc?, in wliich shall be entered, in order of datfe,- without blank or interliu'^^ation, the orders ^iven or received, the mmmer in which they are executed, their results, and every event and circumstance of importance in the progress of the defence. These jounmis, and the proceedings of the council of defence, shall be sent, after the siege, to the Department of War 823. There shall be kept in the office of the commandant of the p'ace, to be sent after the siege to the Department of War, 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 succes- sion, the positions occupied, and the works executed by the enemy from the investment ; and also tlie works of counter approach of defence, and the successive positions of the ar- tillery and other troops of the garri-on during the progress of the siege. 824. The commander shal' defend in succession the advanced works, the covered way and outworks, the body of the work, and tje interior intrenchments, lie will not be content with clearing away the foot of the breaches, md 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 kin;r is prohibited 6tle for bathing, or the men may be placed in the chains and have buckets of water thrown over them. 842. i?c/?r'Y'?t rff^/cs- will not be w^ashed oftener than once a week, and only when the weather is \\\\q. The boards of the lower berths wdi be retnoved 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 performeil between flecks. The materials required are — common salt, four ounces : piiwdered oxide of manganese, one ounce ; sulpliuric acid, one ounce, diluted with two ounces of water. The diluted acid is poured over the other ingredients in a ba.sin placed in a Dot .sand bath. Solutions of chloride of lime and chloride of zinc are exci-bent disinfecting agents. . w t<43. During voyages in hot weather, the master of the vessel will be desired to provide wind-sails, which wdl be kept constantly hung up, and frequently examined, to see that thev draw well and are not obstructed. 84i. Duiing cooking hours, th«- officers of companies visit the caboose, and see that the messes are w«'ll prejiarcd. The coppers and other cooking utensils arc to be regularly and well was'ied, botii In-fore and nftrr use. 845. The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, or at an earlier hour when there is a prospert of bad weather ; .and at luttoo every man not on duty will be in his berth. To insure the execution of this regulation, the officer of the day, with a lantern, will make a tour Ix-t.wetn decks. 840.

In harbor, where there is no danger fmrn sharks, the men may bathe ; out not more than ten at a time, and attended l)y a bo.it. 85i In tittiuK upa vessel for tiie transportation of horses, care is to le taken that the requisite arrangements are made for conveniently feeding; ana cleaning them, anes should not be put on boaid after severe exercise or when heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings shciuld be made fast to a hook at the end of the fall, or the knot tied b}"^ an expert seaman, so that it may be well .secured and easil}' loosened. The horse should be run up quickly to prevent him from plunging, and should be steadied by guide ropes. A halter is placed on him before he is lifted from the ground. 856. On board, care should be taken that the horses are not over-fed ; bran should Ibrm part of their ration. The face, eyes, aryl nostrils of each horse are to be wa>hed at the usual stable hours ; and occasionally, the manges should be washed and the nostrils of the horse sponged with vinegar and water.

In loading vessels with stores fur a military expediti»>n, the cargo of each should be comp(>sed ot an assortment of such stores as may be available for service in case of tke non-arrival of others, and they should le placed on board in such a manner that they may be easily reached, in the order in which they are required for service. Each stori-ship should be marked, at the bow and stern, on bi^th sidos, in large characters, with a distinc- tive letter and number. A list is to be made ot the stores on board of each vessel, and of the place where they are to be found in it ; a cop}"^ of this list to be sent to the chief officer of the proper department in the expedition, or at the place of destination. ARTICLE XXXVIII. ^ COTRTS-MARTIAL. 85K. In appointing a general court-martial, as many members will be detailed, from five to thirteen inclusive, as can be assembled without manifest injury to the sei'vice. 859. The decision of the offii'er appointing the court, as to the number that can be assem- l)led without manifest injury to the service, is cone usive. 860. A I'resident of the court will not be appointed. The officer highest in rank pres- ent will be President. 861. Form of order appointing court-martial, the last paragraph omitted when the court can be kept up witli thirteen members : Headquarters , .'d, be referred to the authority con- veninsr the court, to decide wliether the court sha41 be adjourned or dissolved, and the chanrC'' reserveil for another court. 865. Upon application by the accused for postponement on the jrronnd of absence of wit- ness, it onc;ht distinctly to appear on his oatli, 1st, that, the witness is material, and how ; 2d, that the acru«ed has used due diligence to procure his attendance, and 3d, that lie has reasonable trronnd to believe, and does believe, that he will be able to procure such atten- dance \^ithin a reasonable time stated. 800. The President of a court-mnrtial, beside> his duties and privilec;cs as member, is the organ of the court, to keep order and conduct its business. He speaks and acii^ fur the court in each case where the rule has been prescribed by law, rctjulation, or its own reso- lution. In all their deliberations the law secures the equality of the members. 867. The 70th Article of War does not confer on a court martial the power to punish its own members. For di.'orderly conduct, a member is liable as in other effences against military discipline ; improper words are to be taken down, and any disorderly conduct of a member reported to tl;c authoiity convening the court. 808. The .Tudge .Advocate shall summon the necessary witnesses for the trial ; but he shall not summon any witness at the expense of the Confederate States, nor any ofiicer of the army, without the order of the court, unless satisfied that his testimony is material a'ad nece>,«ary to the ends of justice. 860. Every court-martial shall keep a complete and accurate record of its proceedings, to be authenticMted by tlie signatures of the Pre-ident and Judge Advocate, who shall alf-o certify, in like manner, tlie sentence pronounced by the court in each case. The record must show that the court was orginized as the law requires ; that the court and Judge Advocate were duly sworn in the presence of the prisoner; that he was previously a^ked whether ])e had objection to any member, and his answer thereto. A copy of tlie order appointing the court will be entered on the record in eacli case. 870. Whenever the same court-martial tries more prisoners than one, and they ai-e ar- raigned on separate and distin t charges, the court is to be sworn at the commencement of each trial, and the proceedings in each ca«e will be made up separately. 87,1. The record shall be clearly and legibly written; as far as practicable, witliont era- sures or interlineations, the pajres to be numbered, with a margin of one inch on the left side of each pnge, and at the t,ip of the odd and hottoin of the even pnges ; through this last margin the slieets to be stitclied together; the documents accoinpanyingJ.he proceed- ings to he noicd and marked in such a manner as to afTord an easy reference. 872. No recommendation will be embi-aced in the body of the .sentence. Those men- hirs only who concur in the recommendat'on will sign it. 873. The legal ptmishnwnts for soldiers by sentence of a conrt-nT^rtial according to the ofTenf-e, and the jurisdiction of the court, are — death ; corporal ptmishment \<\ Hogsrii'g ; confinement; cnnti ement .-n bre:irrpitin-e of pav and a!towance< ; di-fiiarges froin service ; and repriiPHuds. iSi)lit!try connnenient. or confinement on bread and witei-. shall not exreed fourteen davs at a time, with intervals between the periods of su<;h ci)Mfrneiuent nor le.^s than such ptri- odx, and not exceeding eight i-fmr days in one vear. 874. A conrt-maifial cannot assign and mnke over tlie pay of a soMier to anv other jier- f'on, and the receipt of such p. as in the cases of other enli>ted men. When howerer, an ordnance sergeant or liosjiital .steward is sentenced bv an inferior court to he reduced to the ranks, -^uch sentence, though it may be approved by the reviewing officer will not be carried into efb-ct untd (lie case has been referred to the Secretary of War for final acti.m. In these cases of reduction, the application of the man for di'-chargc from service, though not. recognized as a right, will generally be regarded with favor, if Lis £ e6 WORKING PARTIES. offence has not been of too serious a aature, aud especially where he has not been recently promoted' from the ranks. 876. The Judge Advocate shall trai^smit the proceedings, without delay, to the oflScer having .authority to confirm the sentence, who shall state, at the cud of the proceedings in each case, his decision and orders thereon. K77. The original proceedings of all general coftrts-raartial, after the decision on them of the reviewing authority, and all proceedings that require the decision of the President under the 65th and h!9th Article^ of War. and copies of all orders contirmiiig or disproving, or remitting the sentences of courts -martial, and all official communiciitions for the Judge Advocate of the army, will be addressed to " Tiie AdJiUant cwd hispcctur-Gtneral of thf Army. War Department" marked on the cover, ^'■Ji'dne Advocate." 878. The proceedings of garrison and regimental courts-martial will be transmitted without delay, by the garrison or regimental commander, to the department headquarters for the supervision of tlie department commander. 879. The power to pardon or mitigate the punishment ordered by a court-martial, is vested in the authority confirming the proceedings, and in the President of the Confeder- ate States. A superior military commander to the oflicer confirming tiie proceedings may suspend the execution of the sentence when, in his judgment, it is void upon the face of the procodings, or when he sees a fit case for executive clemency. In such cases, the rec- ord with his order i)rohibiting the execution shall be transmitted for the final orders of the President. 880. When a court-martial or court -or inquiry adjourns without day, the members will return to their respective posts and duties, unless otherwise ordered. 881. When a court adjourns for three days, the -Jaiige 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 PARTIES. 8^2. When it is necessary to employ the army at work on fortifications, in surveys, in cutting roads, and other constant labor of not less than ten days, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers so employed are enrolled as extra-duty men, and are allowed twenty- five cents a day when emplo/ed as laborers and teamsters, aud forty cents a day when employed as mechanics, at all stations east of the Rocky Mountains, aud thirty-five aud fifty cents per day, respectively, at all stations west of those mountains. 883- Enlisted men of the Ordnance and Engineer Departments, and artificei-s of artil- lery, are not entitled to tiiis allowance when employed in their appropriate work. 881-. So||liers will not be employed as extra-duty men for any labor iu camp or garrison w.iich can proper!}' be performed by fatigue parties. 88"). No extra-duty men, except those required for the ordinary service of the Quartcr- ma-ter, Commissary, and Medical Departments, and saddlers in mor.nted companies, will be emp'oyed witiiout previous authority from department hetwiquarters, except in case of Bec'ssity, wliich shall be promptly reported to the department commander. 88(3.

Sntiimer is C"n>i iered to commence on the 1st of April, and winter on the 1st of October. 88i). Although the necessities of the service may require .soldiers to be ordered on working parties as a duty, couuuanding officers are to bear in mind that fitness for mili- tary service by instruction and discipline is the object for which the arm\" is kept on foot, and that they are not, to (-mi)loy the troops when not in the field, and especially the mounted troops, in labors that interfoie with their military duties and exereises, except in cases of immediate necessity, which shall be forthwith reported for the orders of the War Department. PUBLIC PROPERTY, &c. 67 ARTICLE XL. PUBLIC PROPERTY, MONEY, AND ACCOUNTS. 890.

Lientenants, acting as Assistant Commissaries of Subsistence, are allowed 520 per mouth for such services; to be paid by the Pay Department, on accounts certified to by 144 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. tlie Commissary General, to the eficct that proper returns were i-endcred for the period charged for. 1143. A regimental or Depot Commissary of Subsistence may purchase, at first cost price, of the Captains or commanding officers of companies, in the servico of the Confed- erate States, such articles or parts of the ration as are not drawn, nor consumed. But this applies only to such articles as were actually issued and not consumed, or would actu- ally have been issued, and does not apply to such parts of the ration as the Commissary does not habitually have on hand for issue. 1144. The accounts for sucji purchases will be made in duplicate, (see Form No. 19,) and the articles will be taken up by the Cummissary on his monthly return, as if it were an original purchase. The mone}'' paid to the Captains constitutes a company fund. 1145. 1st. Duplicate originals of all contracts on account of sub-^istence will be sent to Commissary General's office through the principal Commissary of Subsistence of the Mili- tary Department m which the contract is made. The place of residtuce of each s^urety to the bond must be named therein with particularity. Where the form is prescribed it will be followed ; in all cases contracts must be drawn up and executed to meet thi) require- ments of the law. Every contract, whether for services or for the furnishing cf supplies, which contemplates a partial performance, from time to time, continuing until the whole duty is performed, or the whole deliver}-^ of the enumerated articles is eflected, must pro- vide in express terms for its earlier termination, if the Conuuissar^^- General .shall so direct. 1146. Estimates for funds must be rendered in duplicate. 1147. In order to establish an invariable rule for ascertaining the nett weight of beaf cattle received on the hoof, the following mode is adopted, and for the future, in all cases wi// be observed: 1st. When practicable, cattle presented for acceptance must be weighed upon the scales. From the live weight of a steer, thus ascertained, his nett weight shall be determined by deducting forfy-five *per centum, when his gross weight exceeds thirteen hundred (1300) pounds, and fifty per centum when it is less than that, and not under eight hundred (800) pounds. 2. When it is impracticable to weigh upon the scales, one or more average steers must be selected, killed and dressed in the usutd manner. The average nett wight of these (necks and shanks excluded) will be accepted as the average nett ^5 eight of the herd. In ail written instruments for the delivery of cattle on the hoof, the manner prescribed above, for ascertaining nett weight, must, in express terms, be inserted ; in verbal agree- ments, it must be understood and accepted by the party delivering the eattle. Vouchers for the payment of cattle will state the manner pursued in determining their nett weight, except where pa3'ment has been made on the certificate of an officer, in which case the certificate will state the mode followed. 3d. With a view to the prevention of losses, now so frequently occurring, from over- estimating the weight of cattle received on the hoof, the serious attention of officers and agents serving in this department is specially called to the exercise of greater care in the discharge of this important duty. 1148. When fresh beef can be provided, it will be issued to the troops five times per week. When the circumstances are favort-ble, and it can be done with advantage to the Government, the Subsistence Department will keep beef cattle to supply the issues. 1149. The following issues and substitutions may be made: When, from excessive fatigue or exposure, the commanding aftuer may deem it necessary, he may direct the issue cf whiskey to the enlisted men of his command, not to exceed a gill per man for each da^^ Tea may be issued in lieu of coffee, at the rate of one and a half pounds per one hundred rations. Two "issues" per week of "desiccated vegetables" may be made in lieu of '• beans" or "rice." Potatoes and onions, when issued, will always be in lieu" of rice or beans. Potatoes at the rate of a pound per ration; onions at the rate of three pecks per huud:ed ration.'^. SUBSISrENCE DEPARTMENT.— FORMS.

The recruiting service will be conducted by the Adjutant and Inspector-General, under the direction of the Secretary of War. 1384. Field officers will be detailed to superintend the recruiting districts, and lieuten- ants to take charge of the recruiting parties. The i ccruiting service will fornai a special roster. The Adjutant and Inspector General will detail the field officers, and announce in orders the number of lieutenants to be detailed from each regiment by its 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. 1385. 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 i^one but suitable men selected. "• 1386. Officers on the general recruiting service are not to be ordered on any other duty, except from the Adjutant General's office. DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENTS. 1387. As soon as a recruiting station is designated, the superintendent send estimates for funds to the Adjutant General, and requisitions on the proper departments, (through the Adjutant and Inspector-General) for clothing, campequipage, arms, and accoutrements. 1388. Subsequent supplies for the stations in his district are procured by the superin- tendent on consolidated estimates ; these are made quarterly for funds, and every six or twelve months for clothing, equipage, arms, and accoutrements. Estimates for funds will be in the following form : Edimate i if R'cruUi ig Funds Ri-fiuircd for the d iHng the Quarter ending . . . ., 18. . Names. Rank. Reg't. 1 Station. Am't expen'd last quarter.

Funds and supplies of clotbinjr, camp and garrison equipage, arms and accoutre- mc-its, when ordered, will be sent direct to each station. 1590. The snperintendent^will transmit to the Adjutant rnspector General consolidated monthly returns of the recruiting parties under their superintendence, according to direc- tions on the printed blanks, accompanied by one copy of the enlistment of each recruit, enlisted within the month Also a quarterly return of deceased soldiers to the Adjutant and Inspector General and Second Auditor. 1391. When recruits should be sent to regiments,* a superintendent will report to the Adjutant and Inspector General for instructions in reference thereto. io92. When recruits are sent from a depot or rendezvous to a regiment or post, a nnsfrr and descrlptioe roll, and an a-'vimf, of dofhhig o( th^s detachment, will be given to the officer assigned to the command of it ; and a duplicate of the muster and descriptive roll will be forwarded to the Adjutant an(l Inspector General by the superint' ndent, wJio will note on it the mimey of all the ollicers on duty with the detachment, and the day of its departure from the depot or rendezvous. 1393. The superintendent will report all commissioned or non-e.ommi.ssioned officers who may be incapable or negligent in the discharge of their function-.. Wliere a recruiting party fails to get recruits from any cause other than the fr station ft)r the party. 1394. "When a rendezvous is closed the superintendent will give the necessary instruc- tions for the safe-keeping or disposal of the public property, so as not to involve any ex- pense for storage. 1395. Tours of inspection by superintendents will be made only on instructions from the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office. Officers on the recruiting service will not bo sent fron\ place to place without orders from the same source. DUTIES OF RECRUITINO OFFICERS 1396. Success in obtaining recruits depends much on the activity and personal attention of r.'cruiting officers, and they will not entrust to enlisted men the duties for which them- selves on\y are responsible. They will in no case absent themselves from their stations without authority from the superintendent. 1397. Recruiting ollicers will not allow any man to be deceived or inveigled into the .service b)- false representations, but will in person explain the nature of tiie service, the length of the term, tlie pay, clothing, rations, and otiier allowances to which asoldUr is entitled by law, to every man before- he signs the enlistment. If minors present them- selves, they are to be treated with great cindor ; the names and residences of tlieir parents or guardians, if they have any, must be ascertained, and they will be informed of the minor's \^ish to f^nlist, that they may mvke their objections or give their consent. 1398. With the sanction of superintendents, recruiting officers may insert in not ex- ceeding two newspapers, bi"ief notices directing attention to the rendezvous for further information. 1399. Any free white male person above the ageof eighteen and under thirty-five years, being at least five feet four and a half inches hiy:h, effective, able-liodied, sol)er, free ftoni disease, of good character and habits, and able to speak ami understand tciU the Euf^lisb lanjiuage, may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height and age of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians, or to soldiers wiio miy "re-enlist," or have served honestly and faithfully a previous enlistment in the army. 1400. No person under the age of twenty-one years is to be enlisted without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or mnster. The recruiting offi-er must be very particular in ascertaining the true age of the recruit, and will not accept him when there is a doubt of his being ''of age. 1401. After the nature of the service and terms of enlistment have been fairly explained to the recruit, the officer, before the enlistments are filled up, will read to him, and offer for his signature, the annexed di.chration, to be appen led to each copy of his enlistment: I, , desiring to enlist in the Army of the Confederate 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 discharsred from the Confederate States service on ac- count of disability, or by a sentence of a court miirtial, or by order before the expiration of a term of enlistment ; and 1 know of no impediment to ni}' seiving honestly and faith- fully as a .soldier for i\\e 3-ears. Witness : 280 RECRUITING SERVICE. 1402. If the recruit be a minor, Lis parent, guardian, or master must sign a consent to Ms enlisting, which will be added to the preceeding declaration, in the following form : I, — , do certify that I am the [father onlg surviving parent, legal master, or guardiftn) of ; that the said is years of age ; and I do hereby freely give my consent to his enlisting as a soldier in the Army of the Confederate States for the period of five years. Witness : . 1403. The forms of declaration, and of consent in case of a minor, having been signed and witnessed, the recruit will then be duly inspected by the recruiting officer, and sur- geon, if one be present, and if accepted, the 20th and 87th Articles of iVar will be read to him ; after which he will be allowed time to consider the subject until his mind appears to be full}' made up before the oath is administered to him. 1404. As soon as practicable, and at least within six days after hJs enlistment, the fol- lowing oath will be administered to the recruit : " I, A — B — , do solemnly swear or affirm, (as the case may be,) that I will bear true allegiance to the Confederate States of America, and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders of the President of th3 Confederate States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the armies of the Con- federate States. " (See 10th Article ot vVar.) 1405. Under the Article of War above cited, a justice of the peace, the chief magistrate of any town or city corporate, (not being an officer of the Army,) a notary public, or, when recourse cannot be had to such civil magistrates, a judge advocate, or any commissioned officer of the army, may administer the above oath. 1400. It is the duty of the recruiting officer to be present at tie inspection of the re- cruit by the medical officer, la passing a recruit the medical officer is to inspect him stripped; to see that he has free use ol all his limbs; that his chest is ample ; that his hearing, vision, and speech are perfect ; that he has no tumors, orulcerated, or extensively cicatrized legs ; no rupture or chronic cutaneous affection ; that he has not received any contusion or wound of the head, that may impair his faculties ; that he is not a drunkard ; is not subject to convulsions ; and has no intectious disorder, nor any other that may unfit him for military service. 1407. Recruiting officers will not emp](;y private physicians, without authority from the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office, for the special purpoae of inspecting the re- cruits prior to their enlisting. 140S. If it be necessary, as in the case of sickness, to employ a physician, the recruiting officer may engage his services by contract on reasonable terms, by the visit, or by the month. If by the month, the inspection of the recruits must be stated in the contract as part of his duty. The phj'sician will be paid from the recruiting funds. 1409. Enlistments must, in all cases, be taken in triplicate. The recruiting officer will send one copy to the Adjutant General with his quarterly accounts, (paragraph 12'S0, No. 1,) a sectrad to the superintendent with his monthly return, (paragraph 1280, No. 6,) and a thu^d to the depot at the same time the recruits, are sent there. In cases of soldiers re enlisted in a regiment, or of regimental recruits, the third copy of the enlist- ment will be sent at its date to the regimental headquarters for file. 1410. When ordnance sergeants re-enlist, the recruiting officer will immediately send the second cop}^ of the enlistment direct to the Adjutant General, and the third copy to the station of the ordnance sergeant for file. * 1411. A non-comrais^ioned officer, musician, or private soldier, who may re-relist into his company or regiment within two months before, or one month after the expiration of his term of service, shall receive a bounty uf 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 descriptive list, and timely notice of probable re-enlistments in a company must be given beR)reband to the proper authority, that the necessary funds ma.j be provided. Ordnance sergeants and hospital stewards are non-commissioned offi- cers entitled to the bount}^ in the ca~e provided. 1412. Enlistments must, in no case, be antedated so as to entitle a soldier to bounty who applies after the period allowed for "re enlisling''^ has expired. 1 RECRUITING SERVICE. 281 1413. A premium of twodollarswill bepaid to any citizen, non-commissioned officer, or soldier, for each accepted recruit, that he maj' bring to the rendezvous ; but not for soldiers who receive bounty for "re-enlisting." 1414. The recruiting officer will see that the men under his command are neat in their personal appearance, and will require the permanent party tj wear their military dress in a becoming manner, especially when permitted to go abroad. 1415. Only such articles of clothing as are indispensable for immediate use, will be is- sued to recruits at the rendezvous. Their equipment will not be made complete till after they have passed the inspection subsequent to tlieir arrival at the depot. 1416. The instruction of the recruits will commence at the rendezvous from the mo- ment of enlistment. The general superintendent will see that all recruiting officers give particular attention to this subject. 1417. Ilecruits will be sent from rendezvous to depots every ten days, or oftener if practicable, jirovidi-d the number disposable exceeds three. The detachments of recruits will be sent from rendevous to depots under charge of a non-commissioned officer. 1418. Commutation for fuel and quarters, when allowed, is paid from the recruiting funds on the usual vouchers jeceipted by ilie utlicer himself. 1419. Every oiiicer commanding a recruiting party will procure the necessary transpor- tation, forage, fuel, straw, and station* ry, taking the requsite vouchers; but no non-com- missioned officer or soldier is to be allowed to become a contractor fur the supplying of any article wfiich may be required. 1420. The transportation of recruits to depots, and from one recruiting station to an- oth<>r, will be paid from the recruiting funds; transportation of officers and enlisted men on the recruiting service will be paid in the same manner, except when first proceeding to join th:ii service, or returning to their rciiinients after having been relieved. 1421. No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted that do not arise from orders emanating froni the Adjutant and In-pector-General's Office, except they bo requir- ed to visit brancLi or au.'nliary rendezvous under their charge, when they will be allowed the stage, steamboat, or railroad fare, porterage included. 1422. AVher.evcr an officer is relieved or withdrawn from"the recruiting service, he will pay over the balance of any unexpended recruiting funds in his possession to the officer appointed to succeed him, or to the payma>ter, if no oflicer be so designated; and if there be no payma.-;ter or other proper officer convenient to receive such balance, the amount will be deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the Confederate States, with the most convenient A^sistaI)t Treasurer, or other depositary of public moneys. In either case the ofilcer will forward to the Adjutant and Inspector General the evidence of the disposition he may make of the funds, and report the fact to. the superintendent, or to his colonel, if on regimeutal recruiting service. RENDEZVOUS, QUARTERING AND SUBSISTING TROOPS. 1423. "Written contracts will be made hy recruiting officers for the rent of a rendezvous upon the most reasonable terms possible. Tlie rent will be paid from the recruiting fund. The terms of the contract will be immediately reported to the Adjutant and Inspector General. 1424. When subsistence cannot be issued by the commissariat to recruiting partie.s, it will be procured by the officer in charge. Written contracts will be made for the subsist- ence of tlie recruits, (■••(r form .^,) due public notice being first given inviting proposals for furnishing complete rations, (or board — (see paragraph 1425.) The original advertise- ments, bids, contracts, and bonJ, will be forwarded to the Conuuissary General of Sub- sistence, and copies be kept for the use of the recruiting station. 1425. V\ hen convenience and economy require that the contract shall be for board a7id lodgini/, the officer in charge shall estimate the cost of the ration for which the contractor shall be paid from the sub^i.■«tence funds, as before directed; and shall pay the amount due to lodgwfj from the recruiting funds. 1426. Issues will be made, or board furnished, (as the case maybe.) on regular ;>ro- Tuion returns, specifying the number of men, and days and dates. A ration in kind may be allowed to one laundress at eacli principal rendezvous. The contractor will forward his accounts eitber monthly or quarterly to the Commissary General of Subsistence, (see form B.) This account will be supported b}" an abstract of issues, duly certified by the rtcruiting officer, sci form C.) 1427. At temporary rcudezvous, advertising may be dispensed with, and a contract 282 RECRUITINa SERVICE. made conditioned to be terminated at the pleasure of the officer or the Commissary Gen- eral. 1428. The recruiting officer will be required, when convenient, to receive from the Commissai'j General and disburse the funds for the subsistence of his party, and to render his accounts quarterly to the Commissary General. 1420. When a contract cannot be made, the recruiting officer may pay the necessary expenses of subsisting and boarding his party; rendering distinct accounts for amounts paid from the subsistence ami recruiting funds, a? in paragraph 1425. 1430. 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. 1431.

Blanks for the regimental recruiting service are furnished to the company com- manders. FURNITURE AND STATIONERY. 1434. The articles of furniture and police utensils which may be absolutely necessary at a recruiting station may be procurel by the officer in charge of the rendezvous, on the specii^l authority of the superintendent. 1435.

If necessary, an additional supply of one-fourth of these rates will be allowed to the recruiting officer having charge of one or more auxiliary rendezvous distant from his permanent station. At the principal depots the allowance must be fixed by the wants of the public service. 1436. To each office table is allowed one inkstand, one wafer stamp, one wafer box, one paper folder, one ruler, and as manj lead pencils as may be required, not exceeding four per annum. 1437.

This information the recruiting ofBcer must obtain, if possible, from the soldier's discharge, M-hich he should in all cases be required to exhibit. (See 22d Art. of War.) 16. Re-enlistments must be forwarded with recruiting accounts, although the bounty duo on them may not be paid. When the bounty is subsequently paid, the soldier's re- ceipt is to be taken on a voucher showing date and place of re-enlistment, company and regiment, and by whom re-enlisted. 17. The filling up of, and endor.sement on, the enlistment, will be in the handwriting of the recruiting oflBcer, or done under his immediate inspection. 18. To facilitate the final setth'ment of accounts of discharged soldiers, the name of the State^ as well as the town, where each recruit is enlisted, will be recorded on all muster, pay, and descriptive rolls. DEPOTS FOR COLLECTING AND INSTRUCTING RECRUITS. 1441. The depots for recruits are established by orders from the Adjutant and Inspector General's offi-^e. 1442. 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 and Inspector General's Office, will be selected for the perma- nent p irty, to do garrison duty and for drill masters. 1443. The number of recruits at depots to be assigned to each arm and regiment is di- rected from the Adjutant and Inspector General's office. 1444. The recruits are to be dressed in u)iifijr7n according to their respective arms, and will be regularly mustered and inspected. They are to be well drilled in infantry tacdcs, through the school of the soldier to that of the battalion, and in the exercise of field and garri>o:i pieces. Duty is to be done according to the strict rules of service. 1445. The general superintendent will cause such of the recruits as are found to possess a natural talent for music, to be instructed (besides the drill of the soldier) on the fife, bugle, aud drum, and other military instruments; and boys of twelve years of age and up- ward may, under his direction, be enlsted for this purpose. But as recruits under eigh- teen ye.irs of age and under size must be discharged, if they are not capable of learning music, care should be taken to enlist those only who have natural talent for music, and, if practicable, they should be taken on trial for some time before being enlisted. 144ti. Regiments will be furnished with field 'music on the requ isitions of their com- manders, made, from time to time, direct on the general superintendent ; and when re*^ quested by regimental commanders, the superintendents will endeavor to have suitable- men selected from the recruits, or enlisted for the regimental bauds. RECRUITING SERTICE. 285 1447. To give encouragement to the recruits, and liolJ out inducements to good con- duct, the commanding officer of the depot may promote such of them to be lance corporals and lance ser(jeaH.tft sls exhibit the requisite qualiticatians, not exceeding the proper propor- tion to the number of recruits at the depot. These appointments will be announced in orders in th^ usual wa3^ and will be continued in force until the}- join their regiments, unless sooner revoked. No allowance of pay or emoluments is to be assigned to these ap- pointment; they are only to be ronsiderod as recammendations to the captains of compa- nies and colonels of regiments for the places in which the recruits may have acted; but such non-commissioned officers are to be treated with all the respect and to have all the authority which may belong to the stations of sergeant and corporal. 1448. Pc;'7;m««i< parties at depots, and recruiting ;>rt;-)or or work which would interfere with their instruction, nor are they to be employed otherwise than as soldiers, in tlie regular duties of garrison and camp. 1451 Every enlisted man discharged as a minor, or for other cause involving fraud on his part in the enlistment, or discharged by the civil authority, shall forfeit all pay and allowances due at the time of the discharge. 1452. The Rules and ArticJes of War are to be read to the recruits every month, after the inspection; and so much thereof as relates to the duties of non-commissioned officers and soldiers will be read to them every week. INSPECTION OF RECRUITS AT DEPOTS AND POSTS. 1453. Tne superintendent or commanding officer will cause a minute and critical inspec- tion to be made of every recruit received at a depot two days after his arrival ; and should inj recruit hQ found unfit for service, or to have been enlisted contrary to law or regula- tions, he shall assemble a Bonrd of Inspectors, toexamme into the case. A board may also be assembled in a special case, when a concealed defect may become manifest in a recruit, at any time during his detention at th^ depot. 1454. Every detachment ordered from a depot to any regiment or post shall, immedi- ately preceeding its departure, bo critically inspected by the superintendent or command- ing officer and surgeon ; and, when necessary, a Board of Inspectors will be convened. 1455. Recruits received at a military post or station shall be carefully inspected l^y the commanding officer and surgeon, in the third day after their arrival ; and if, on such in- spection, any meruit, in their opinion, be unsound oi otherwise defective in such degree as todisqualjfy him for the duties of a soldier, then a Board of Inspectors will be assembled to examine into and report on the case. (See paragraphs 1438, 1439, 1440 ) l45(i. Roa)Y/.v for the inspection of recruits will be c miposed of the three senior regi- mental officers present on duty with the troops, including the commanding officer, and the senior medical officer of the army present. REJECTED RECRUITS. 1457. In all cases of r/;/(;^/^07^, the reasons therefir will be stated at large in a special report, to be made l)y the board; which, together with the surgeon's certificate of disabil- ity for service, will bcf irwarded by the superintendent or ommandant of the post direct to the Adjutant and Inspector (jreneral. In all such ca*es, the commanding officer will cause the articles of clotliing which may have been issued to the recruit, with the price of each artiflo, to be endorsed on the certificates of disability. If the recommendation of the board for the discliarge of the recruit be approved, the authority therefor will be en- dorsed on tiie certificate, which will be sent back to be filled up aiid signed by the com- manding officer, will) will return the same to the Adjutant and Inspector General's office. 1458. The board will state in the report whether the disability, or other cause of re- jection, existed before his enlistment, and whether, with proper' care and examinatmiy it might not have been discovered. 286 RECRUITING SERVICE— FORMS. RECRUITS SENT TO REGIMENTS. 1459. An officer entrusted with the command of recruits ordered -to regiments will, on arriving at the place of destination, forward the following papers : 1. To the Adjatant and Inspector General and the Superintendent, ea?h, a descriptive roll and an account of clothing of such men as may have deserted, died, or been lelt on the route from any cause whatever, with date and place ; also, a 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 circumstances worthy of remark which may liave occurred 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 ap- propriate spaces, the time and place of death, desertion, apprehensinn, or other casualty that may have occurred on the route, 1460. Should an offlcer be relieved in charge of a detachment en rotUe, before it reaches its destination, the date and place, and name of the officer by whom it is relieved, must be recorded on the detachment 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. 1461. The "original muster and descriptive roll" of every detachment, . with remarks showing the final disposition of each recruit, and the regiment and letter of the company to which he may be assigned, will be signed and forwarded to the Anjutant and Inspector General by the commanding officer who makes the assignment. If the recruits embraced in one roll happen to be assigned to different posts, the original roll is to continue with the last detachment to its destination, each commander completing it so far as concerns the re- cruits left at his post. When this is not practicable, extracts from the original roll are to be made hy the authoritj'- which distributes the recruits, to accompany the several detach- ments and be forwardad to the Adjutant and Inspector General as in case of the original roll. REGIMENTAL RECRUITING SERVICE. 1462. The regimental recruiting will be conducted in the manner prescribed far the general service. 1463. 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 necessary funds, clothing, &c., by requisition to the Adjutant General. 1464. At every station occupied by his regiment, or any part of it, the colonel will designate a suitable officer to attend to the recruiting duties ; which selection will not re- lieve feuch officer from his company or other ordinary duties. The officer thus designated will be kept constantly furnished with funds, and when necessary, with, clothing and camp equipage. (See paragraph 1441.) 1465. The reguuental recruiting officer will, with the approbation of the commanding officer of the .station, enlist all suitable men. He will be governed, in rendering his ac- counts 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 rfficer of his regiment present, unless some other be appointed to receive them.
