 the War Department. . 
 
 ARTICLE IX. 
 
 CARE OP FORTIFICATIONS. 
 
 36. No person shall be permitted to walk upon any of the slopes of a 
 fortification, except the ramps and glacis. If, in any case, it be necessary 
 to provide for crossing them, it should be done by placing wooden steps 
 or stairs against the slopes. The occasional walking of persons on a 
 parapet will do no harm, provided it be not allowed to cut the surface 
 into paths. 
 
 37. No cattle, horses, or other animal shall ever be permitted to go 
 upon the slopes, the ramparts, or the parapets, nor upon the glacis, ex- 
 cept within fenced limits, which should not approach the crest nearer 
 than 30 feet. 
 
 38. All grassed surfaces, excepting the glacis, will be carefully and 
 frequently mowed, (except in dry weather,) and the oftener the better, 
 while growing rapidly — the grass being never allowed to be more than . 
 n few inches high. In order to cut the grass even and close, upon small 
 slopes, a light one-handed scythe should be used ; and in mowing the 
 steep slopes, the mower should stand on a light ladder resting against 
 the slope, and not upon the grass. Crops of hay may be cut on the 
 glacis; or, if fenced, it may be used as pasture, otherwise it should be 
 treated as other slopes of the fortification. On all the slopes, spots of 
 dead grass will be cut out and replaced by fresh sod. All weeds will 
 be eradicated. 
 
 39. The burning of grass upon any portion of a fortification is strict- 
 ly forbidden. 
 
 40. Particular attention is required to prevent the formation of gul- 
 •lies in the parade, terreplein, and ramps, and especially jn slopes where 
 grass is not well established. « 
 
 41. Earth, sand or ashes, must not be placed against wood work ; a 
 
FORTIFICATIONS, AC. -*> 
 
 free ventilation must be preserved around it ; and all wooden floors, 
 platforms, bridges, &c., will be kept clean swept. 
 
 42. The machinery of draw bridges, gates, and posterns must be kept 
 in good working order by proper cleaning and oiling of the parts ; the 
 bridges will be raised, and the gates and posterns opened as often as 
 once a week. 
 
 43. The terrepleins of forts, the floors of- casemates, caponniers, store? 
 rooms, barracks, galleries, posterns, magazines, &C., and the side-walks 
 in front of quarters, as well as other walks, are sometimes paved with 
 brick or stones, or formed of concrete. These surfaces must be preserved 
 from injury with great care - In transporting guns and carriages, and 
 in mounting them, strong way-planks will be used, and neither the 
 wheels nor any. other part of the carriages, nor any machinery, such as 
 shears, gins, &c., nor any handspike or other implements, will be allowed 
 to touch those surfaces. Unless protected in a similar manner, no wheel- 
 barrow, or vehicle, or barrel, shall be rolled on said surfaces. No vio- 
 lent work will be done, nor any heavy weight suffered to fall upon them. 
 In using machines, as gins, etc., in casemates, care must be taken not to 
 injure the arch, or ceiling, or floors, ^'e^lcct of these precautions may 
 cause injuries apparently slight, but serious in effect, from leaking of 
 water into masonry, easem'ates, A.c 
 
 44. The doors and windows of all store rooms and unoccupied case- 
 mates, quarters, barracks, &c, will be opened several times a week for 
 thorough ventilation. 
 
 43. Masonry shot-furnaces will be boated only on the approach of an 
 enemy. For ordinary practice with hot shot, iron furnaces are provided. 
 
 46. The foregoing matters involve but little expense; the labor is 
 within the meais of every garrison, and no technical knowledge is re- 
 quired beyond what will be found among soldiers! Other repairs re- 
 quiring small disbursements, such as repainting exposed wood or iron 
 work, can be also excuted by the garrison ; but reports, estimates, and 
 requisitions, may be necessary to obtain the materials. 
 
 47. No alteration will be made in any fortification, or in any build- 
 ing whatever belonging to it, nor in any building or work of any kind; 
 Dor will any building or work of earth, masonry, or timber, be erected 
 within the fortification, or on its exterior, within half a mile, except 
 under the superintendence of the Engineer Department, and by authori- 
 ty of the Secretary of War. 
 
 ARTICLE X. 
 
 CARE OF ARMAMENT OF FORTIFICATIONS. 
 
 48. At each permanent post with a fixed battery, and garrisoned by 
 not more I "ill be kept mounted for purpos 
 instruction and target practice, tA and at posts garri- 
 
 ! by more than one company, at th i rate ol two tor each of the com- 
 pmj ing its garrison. The other guns dismounted will be pro- 
 
 1 erly placed within their own traverse circles, and the carnages pre- 
 served from the weather. 
 
 49. All guns should be sponged clean, and their vent;: examined to 
 see that they arc clear. Tho chassis should be traversed and left in a 
 different pos'ition, the top carriage mo\cd backward and forward, and 
 
6 • ARTILLERY PRACTICE. 
 
 left alternately over the frontand rear transoms of the chassis ; the ele- 
 vating screws or machines wiped clean, worked and oiled if required, 
 and the nutsof all bolts screwed up tight. This should all be done reg- 
 ularly once in every week. 
 
 50. When tarpaulins, or pent houses, are placed over the guns, they 
 should be removed once a week when the weather is fair, the carriages 
 and guns brushed off, and if damp, allowed to dry. 
 
 51. An old sponge staff and head, should be used for drill. The new 
 sponges should never be used unless the gun is fired. The implements 
 should be kept in stores, under cover, and be examined, wiped clean, or 
 brushed at least once a month. In case of leather equipments, due 
 care should be taken for their preservation, by the use of oil, but never 
 using varnish. 
 
 52. Magazines should be frequently examined to see that the powder 
 is well preserved. They should be opened every other day, when the 
 air is dry and clear. Barrels of powder should be turned and rolled 
 occasionally. Under ordinary circumstances,- only a few cartridges 
 should be kept filled. If the paper body of the cartridge becomes soft, 
 or loses, its sizing, it is certain that the magazine is very damp, and 
 means should be found to improve the ventilation. Cartridge bags may 
 be kept in the magazine ready for filling ; also port fires, fuses, tubes 
 and primers. Stands of grape, cannister, and wads, for barbette guns 
 should be kept in store with the implements. In casemate guns, wads 
 may be hung in bundles, and grape and cannister near the guns. Shot, 
 well lacquered and clean, may. be placed in piles near the guns. 
 
 ARTICLE XL 
 
 ARTILLERY PRACTICE. 
 
 53. At all posts with fixed batteries, the position of every gun, mount- 
 ed or to be mounted, will have its number, and this number be placed 
 on the gun when in position. 
 
 54. For every such work a post-book of record will be kept, under the 
 direction of the commander. of the post, in which will be duly entered, 
 the number of each mounted gun, its calibre, weight, names of founder, 
 and its inspector, and other marks*-, the description of its carriage and 
 date of reception at the post; where from, and the greatest field of fire' 
 of the gun in its position. 
 
 55. Every commander of a fort, or other fixed battery, •will, before 
 entering on artillery practice, carefully reconnoitre, and cause to bo 
 sketched for his record book, the water channels, with their soundings 
 and other approaches- to the work, Buoys or marks will be placed at 
 the extreme and intermediate ranges of the guns, and these marks be 
 numerically noted on the sketch. A buoy at every five hundred yards 
 may suffice. * 
 
 56. At the time of practice a distinct and careful note will be made 
 for the record-book, of every shot or shell that may be thrown, desig- 
 nating the guns fired by their numbers, the charges of powder used, the 
 time of flight of shots and shells, the ranges and ricochets, and the po- 
 sitions of guns in respect to the horizontal and vertical lines. 
 
 57. The time of flight of* shell may be noted with sufficient accuracy 
 by a stop-watclr, or by oounting the beats (previously ascertaining their 
 
REGIMENTS. ' 
 
 value) of other watches, and the range may sometimes he computed by 
 the time of flight. Other modes ascertaining the range will readily oc- 
 cur to officers of science. 
 
 58. When charged shells with fuze are thrown, the time of bursting 
 will be noted. If they- are intended to fall on land, only a blowing 
 charge will be given to the sluclls, so that they may be picked up for 
 further use. 
 
 59. On tilling from the barrel, the proof range of powder will bo 
 marked on the cartridges. 
 
 GO!* The general objects of this practice are, to give to officers and 
 men the ready and effective use of batteries ; to preserve on record the 
 more important results for the benefit of the same, or future command- 
 ers, and to ascertain the efficiency of guns and carriages. . 
 
 61. The commanders of field artillery will also keep registers of their 
 practice, so that not a shot or shell shall he thrown in the army, for in- 
 struction, without distinct objects, such as range, accuracy of aim, num- 
 ber of ricochets, time of bursting in the case of shells, &c. 
 
 G'2. Tho issue of blank cartridges for the drill and instruction of the 
 light artillery companies will lie authorized in such quantities as may be 
 necessary, on requisitions duly appro'ved by the proper department. 
 
 63. For artillery there will be three annual periods of practice in 
 firing, viz : in April, June and October. At the termination of each 
 period the commanding officers of posts will transmit to the Adjutant- 
 Gener.nl full reports of the results. 
 
 64. To determine accuracy in firing shot and shell, butts or targets 
 will be used. If no natural butt presents itself, targets will be erected. 
 
 65. As practice in gunnery is a heavy expense, commanders of com* 
 panics, and their immediate superiors, are charged with the strict execu- 
 tion of the foregoing details ; and all officers on inspection duty will re- 
 port through the proper channels, upon such execution. 
 
 ARTICLE XII. 
 
 REGIMENTS. 
 
 66. On the organization of a regiment, companies receive a permanent 
 designation by letters beginning with A, and the officers arc assigned to 
 companies: afterward, company officers succeed to companies, as pro- 
 moted to fill vacancies. Companies take place in the battalion accord- 
 ing to the rank of their captains. 
 
 67. Captains must serve with their companies. Though subject to 
 the temporary details of service, as for courts-martial, military boards, 
 a ■ , they shall not be detailed for any duty which may separate them 
 for any considerable time from thoir companies. 
 
 (is. The commander of a regiment will appoint the adjutant from the 
 subalterns of the regiment. He will nominate the regimental Quarter- 
 master to the .Secretary of War for appointment, if approved. He will 
 appoint the non-commissioned staff "t the regiment; and, upon the re- 
 commendation of the company commander, the sergeants and corporals 
 of com pa i I

 from the sergeants. 
 
 74. When it is desired to have bands of music f>r regiments, there 
 will be allowed for each, sixteen privates to act as musicians, in addi- 
 tion to the chief musicians authorized by law, provided, the total num- 
 ber of privates in the regiment, including the band, does not exceed the 
 legal standard. 
 
 ,75. The musicians of the band will, for the time being, be dropped 
 from the company muster-rolls, but they will be instructed as soldiers, 
 and liable to serve in the ranks on any occasion. They will be mustered 
 in a separate squad under the chief musician, with the non-commission- 
 ed staff, and be included in the aggregate in all regimental returns. 
 
 76. When a regiment occupies several stations, the band will be kept 
 at the headquarters, provided troops (one or more companies) be serving 
 there. The field music belonging to companies not stationed at regi- 
 mental headquarters, will not be separated from their respective com- 
 panies. 
 
 77. No man, unless he be a carpenter, joiner, carriage-maker, black- 
 smith, saddler, or harness-maker, will be mustered as an "artificer."

 Inclosed herewith you will receive the report of , the officer 
 
 commanding the compary in which the sergeant has been serving, to 
 which I add the following remarks : 
 
 , Commanding Regiment. 
 
 - 126. When a company is detached from the headquarters of the regi- 
 ment, the reports of the commanding officer in this matter, will pass to 
 the regimental headquarters through the commanding officer of the 
 post or detachment, and be accompanied by his opinion as to the fitness 
 of the candidate. 
 
 127. Ordnance sergeants will be assigned to posts when appointed, 
 and are not to be transferred to other stations except by orders from 
 the Adjutant and Inspector General's office. 
 
 128. At the expiration of their term of service, ordnance sergeants 
 may be re-enlisted, provided they shall have conducted themselves in a 
 becoming manner, and performed their duties to the satisfaction of- the 
 commanding officer. If the commanding officer, however, shall wot 
 think proper to re enlist the ordnance sergeant of his post, he will not 
 discharge him at the expiration of his service, unless it shall be the 
 wish of the sergeant, but will communicate to the Adjutant and Inspec- 
 tor General his reasons fop declining to re-enlist him, to be submitted 
 to the War Department. 
 
 l'J' 1 . The officers interested must be aware, from the nature 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 contemplates, in the appointment of these non-commis- 
 sioned officers, the better preservation of the ordnance and ordnance 
 stores in deposit in the several forts, there is the further motive of of- 
 fering a reward to those faithful and well-tried sergeants who have long 
 served their country, and of thus giving encouragement to the soldier 
 in the ranks to emulate them in OOftdaot, and thereby B6CUr< 
 tial promotion. Colonels and captains can not, therefore, bo too par- ,

 ticular in investigating the characters of the candidates, and in giving 
 their testimony as to their merits. 
 
 130. The appointment and removal of ordnance sergeants, stationed 
 at military posts, in pursuance of the above provisions of law, shall be 
 reported by the Adjutant and Inspector General to the Chief of the 
 Ordnance Department. . • 
 
 131. When a non-commissioned officer receives the appointment of 
 ordnance sergeant, he shall be dropped from the rolls of the regiment 
 or company in which he may be serving at the time. 
 
 132. The duty of ordnance sergeants relates to the care of the ord- 
 nance, arms, ammunition, and other military stores at the post to which 
 they may be attached, under the direction of the commanding 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 Ordnance De- 
 partment, in charge of the ordnance and ordnance stores, and of such 
 other public property as is not in charge of some officer or agent of other 
 Departments ; for which ordnance stores and other property he will ac- 
 count to the chiefs of the proper departments until otherwise directed. 
 
 134. Au ordnance sergeant in charge of ordnance stores at a post 
 where there is no commissioned officer, shall be held responsible for the 
 safe keeping of the property, and he shall be governed by the regula-* 
 tions of the Ordnance Department in making issues of the same, and in 
 preparing and furnishing the requisite returns. If the means at his 
 disposal are not sufficient for the preservation of the property, he shall 
 report the circumstances to the Chief of ^the Ordnance Department. 
 
 135. Ordnance sergeants are to be considered as belonging to Ihe non- 
 commissioned staff of the post, under the orders of the commanding 
 officer. They are to wear the uniform, with the distinctive badges pre- 
 scribed for the non-commissioned staff, of regiments of artillery ; and 
 they are to appear under arms with the troops at all reviews and in- 
 spections, monthly and weekly. 
 
 136. When serving at any post which may be the headquarters' of a 
 regiment, ordnance sergeants shall be reported by name on the post re- 
 turns, and mustered with the non-commissioned staff of the regiment; 
 and at all other posts they shall be mustered and reported in some com- 
 pany stationed at the post at which they serve ; be paid on the muster- 
 roll, and be charged with the clothing and all other supplies previously 
 received from any officer, or subsequently issued to them by the com- 
 manding officer of the company for the time being. Whenever the 
 company may be ordered from the post, the ordnance sergeant will be 
 transferred to the rolls of any remaining company, by the order of the 
 commanding ofticer-of the post. 
 
 137. In the event of the troops being all withdrawn from a post at 
 which there Is an ordnance sergeant, he shall be furnished with his de- 
 scriptive roll and account of clothing and pay, signed by the proper 
 officer last in command, accompanied by the remarks necessary for his 
 military history ; and on his exhibiting such papers to any Quastermas- 
 ter, with a letter from the ordnance oflke acknowledging the receipt of 
 his returns, and that they are satisfactory, he will be paid on a separate 
 account the amount which may be due him at the date of the receipt of 
 the return mentioned in such lcttor, together with commutation of ra-

 infantry or cavalry, and troops of other corps in the necessary propor- 
 tion.

 ber takes the rights 
 
 464. Mixed brigades are sometimes formed of infantry and light cav- 
 alry, especially for the advance guards. 
 
 465. As the troops arrive at the rendezvous, the general commanding- 
 in-chief will organize them into brigades and divisions. 
 
 466. The light cavalry is employed as flankers and partisans, and 
 generally for all service out of the line. 
 
 467. Heavy cavalry belongs to the reserve, and is covered, when ne- 
 cessary, in marches, camps, or bivouacs, by light troops, or "infantry of 
 the line. 
 
 468. The arrangement of the troops on parade and in order of battle 
 is — 1st, the light infantry ; 2d, infantry of the line ; 3d, light cavalry ; 
 4th, cavalry of the line; 5th, heavy cavalry. The troops of the artil- 
 lery and engineers are in the centre of the brigades, divisions, or corps 
 to which they are attached ; marines take the left of other infantry; 
 volunteers and militia take the left of regular troops of the same arm, 
 and among themselves, regiments of volunteers or militia of the ^nnie 
 arm take place by lot. This arrangement is varied by the general com- 
 manding in-chief, as the circumstances of war rendef expedient. 
 
 469. Brigades in divisions, and divisions in the army, are numbered 
 from right to left; but in reports of military operations, brigades and 
 divisions arc designated by the name ofthegener.il commanding them. 
 
 470. The order of regiments in brigades and of brigades in divisions 
 may be changed by the commander of the division for important rea- 
 sons, such as the weakness of some corps, or to relieve one from march- 
 ing too long at the rear of the column. Such changes must be reported 
 to the general commanding in-chief. 
 
 471. The general commanding-in chief assigns the generals of divi- 
 sions and of brigades to their respective commands, when the assign- 
 ment is not made by the Department of War. . 
 
 472. The general of brigade inspects his troops in detail, by compa- 
 ny, wheu he takoa the command and at the opening of Ihe campaign, 
 
CONTRIBUTIONS — ORDERLIES. f)l 
 
 and n? often R3 may be necessary to ascertain exactly their condition. 
 The general (if division makes similar inspections when he fhinks pro- 
 per. At these inspections the generals examine the arms, clothing, 
 equipments,' harness, horses, M'c. ; direct the necessary repairs, and' de- 
 signate the - men and horses to remain in depot, or march with the train. 
 17!. Reports of inspections are made by the general of brigade to 
 the general of division, and by the general of division to the geueral 
 Gommanding-in i 
 
 474. Daring marches and nil active operations, generals of brigade 
 keep themselves exactly informed, D7 reports of corps and by their in- 
 spections, of the actual strength of the regiments, so as always, and 
 especially after an engagrment, to make accurate returns to the general 
 of division. 
 
 47 5. S aff officers and officers of engineers, and artillery, according 
 to the nature of the service, are assigned to the headquarters of ar- 
 mies and divisions, and detached brigades, by order of the genenrl com- 
 mar.ding-in chief, when the distribution uf these officers has not been 
 regulated by the War Department. The necessary staff will be assign- 
 ed to commanders of brigades. 
 
 476. When an Engineer or other, officer is charged with directing an 
 iition or making a reconnoisance, without having command of the 
 
 escort, the command ?r of t li ^ eso«rt shall consult him on all the arrange- 
 ments necessary to secure the success of the operation. 
 
 •177. Staff officers, and commanders of engineers, and artillery, re- 
 port to their immediate commanders the, state of the supplies, and what- 
 ever concerns the service under their direction, and receive their orders, 
 and communicate to them those they receive from^ their superiors in 
 their own corps, 
 
 •178. The senior offi -or 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 department at Richmond, at the close of 
 the campaign, ami such other times as the commander in the field may 
 approve, a full report of the operations of his department, and what- 
 ever information to improve its pervice he -may he aide to furnish. 
 
 The report of the officer of engineers will embrace plans uf military 
 work-! ex'cuted during the campaign, and, in case of siege, a journal of 
 the attack or defence. 
 
 CONTRIBUTIONS. 
 
 479. When the wants of the army absolutely require it, and in other 
 . under special instructions from the War Department, the general 
 ii tnding the army may levy c mtfibirtions in money or kind on the 
 
 enemy's country occupied !>y the troops. No other commander can levy 
 mi ;h contributions without written authority from the general com- 
 , m. mding in chief. 
 
 OKDERUF - ?. 
 
 480. At the opening of a campaign, the commander of an army de- 
 termines and announces in orders the number of orderlies, mounted or 
 foot, for the Generals, and the corps or regiments by which they are to 
 be supplied, and the periods at which they shall be relieved. 
 
 431. In marches, the mounted orderlies follow the Generals, and 
 
r >2 I.EPOTS— <-' A M P». 
 
 perform the duty of escorts, or march with orderlies on foot at the head 
 of the division or brigade. 
 
 482. The staff officer who distributes the orderlies to their posts sends 
 ■with them a note of the time and place of departure ; those relieved 
 receive a like note from the staff officer at headquarters. 
 
 483. Mounted soldiers are to be employed to carry dispatches onlj iii 
 special- and urgent ea.-es. 
 
 484. The precise time when the dispatch is sent (iff, and the rale at 
 which it is to be conveyed, are to be written clearly on ilie covers <l all 
 letters transmitted by a mouuted orderly, su\d the necescai y instru** 
 t'ons to- him, aud the rate of travel going and returning, are to be dis- 
 tinctly explained to him. 
 
 485. The grand depots of an army are established where the military 
 operations would not expose them to be breken up. Smallei depots are 
 organized for the divisions and the several arms. They are command- 
 ed by officers temporarily disabled for field service, or by other officers 
 when. necessary, and comprise, as much as possible, the hospitals and 
 depots for convalescents. When conveniently placed, they serve as 
 points for the halting and assembling of detachments. They receive 
 the disabled from the corps on the march ; and the officsrs in command 
 of the depots send with the detachments to the army those at the depots 
 who have become fit for service. 
 
 CAMPS. 
 
 486. Camp is the plaee were troops are established in tents, in huta, 
 or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhabited places which troops 
 occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. The camping-party is a 
 detachment detailed to prepare a camp. 
 
 487. Reconnoissances should precede the establishment of the' camp. 
 For a camp of troops on the march, it is only necessary to look to the 
 health and comfort of the troops, the facility of the communications, 
 the convenience of wood and water, and the resources in provisions and 
 forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a camp to cover a 
 country, or one designed to deceive the enemy as to the strength of 
 the army, must be selected, and tho camp arranged for the object in 
 view. 
 
 488. The camping-party of a regiment consists of the regimental 
 Quartermaster and Quartermaster. Sergeant, and a Corporal and two 
 men per company. The Genera) decides whether the regiments camp 
 separately or together, and whether the police guard shall accorapauy 
 the camping-party, or a larger escort shall be sent. 
 
 489. Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with the 
 camping party. * 
 
 490. When the General can. send in advance to prepare the onnip. he 
 gives his instructions to the chief of the Qar term aster's Department, 
 who calls on the regiment for their camping-parties, and is accompa- ' 
 nied, if necessary, by an Engineer to propose the defences and commu- 
 nications. 
 
 491. The watering-places are examined, and signals placed at thos* 
 
CAM!* OF INl'AVriU. »# 
 
 tli.it are dangerous. Any work required to make them of easier access 
 is done by the police guard or Quarter master's men. Sentinels, to bo 
 (relieved by the gaardf of the regiment when they come up, are placed 
 by the camping-party over the water if it is Boarce, and over the houses 
 and stores of provisions and forage in the vicinity. 
 
 492. If the camping-party does not precede the regimen*, the Quar- 
 termaster attends to these things as soon as the regiment reaches the' 
 ■care p. 
 
 493. On reaching the ground., the infantry form on the color front ; 
 the cavalry in rear of itsoamp. 
 
 494. The Generals establish the troopsin camp ns rapidly as possible 
 particularly after -long, fatiguing marches. 
 
 495. The number of men to be furnished for guards, pickets, and 
 orderlies; the fatigue partes to he s-ent for supplies; the work to bo 
 -done, itm> the strength of the working parties; the time and place for 
 issues: the hour of marching, t fcc. are then announced by the Briga- 
 dier Generals to the Colonels, and by them to the field officers— tho 
 Adjutant and Captains formed in front of the regiment, the First Ser- 
 geants taking post behind their Captains. The Adjutant then makes 
 the details, and the First Sergeants warn the men. The regimental 
 officer of the day forms the picket, and sends the guards to their posts. 
 The colors are then planted at the centre of the color line, and the arms 
 are Rteck*.! on the line ; the fatigue parties to procure supplies, and the 
 working, parties form in rear of the arms : the men not on detail pitch 
 the tents. 
 
 490. If the camp is Gear the enemy, the picket remains under arms 
 until the return of the fatigue parties, and, if necessary, is reinforced 
 by details from each company. 
 
 497. In the cavalry, each troop moves a little in rear of the point at 
 which its horses are to be secured, and forms in one rank,- the men then 
 dismount : a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack their arms 
 and fix the picket rope; after the horses are attended to, the tents nro 
 pitched, and each horseman places his carbine at the side from the 
 weather, and hangs his t-abrc and bridle on it. 
 
 98. The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel. 
 
 499. The terms front, Sank, right, left, file, and rank, have the same 
 meaning when applied to camps as to the order of battle. 
 
 500. The front of the camp is visually equal to the front of the troops. 
 The. tents are arranged in ranks and files. The number of ranks varies 
 with tta strength of the Companies and the size of the tents. 
 
 601. No officer will bo allowed to occupy a house, although vacnnt 
 and on the ground of his camp, except by permission of the commander 
 of^die brigade, who shall report it to the" commander of the division. 
 
 502. The staff officer charged, with establishing the camp will desig- 
 nate the place lo;' the Gambles. The offal will be buried,

 Each company has its tents in two files, facing on a street per- 
 pendicular to the color li<io. The width of the street depends on the 
 front of the canm, hut should not l>c less than five paces. The interval 
 botwoon tho ranks of tents is tw» paces ; between the files of tents of

 504 The color line is ten paces in front of the front rank of tents. 
 The kitchens are twenty paces behind the rear rank of company tents ; 
 the non-commissioned staff and sutler, twenty Ws in rear « \ ,e 
 kitchen; the company officers, twenty paces farther in rear; and the 
 field and staff, twenty paces in rear of the company officers. 
 
 505. The company officers are in rear of their respective companies ; 
 the Captains on the right. „ , 
 
 506. The Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel are near the centre of the 
 line of field and staff; the Adjutant, a Major and burgeon, on the right ; 
 the Quartermaster, a Major and Assistant Surgeon, c n the left. 
 
 507. The police guard is at the centre of the line of the non-commis- 
 sioned staff, the tents facing to the front, 1 " the stacks of arms on theleft. 
 
 508. The advanced post of the police guard is about. 200 paces in 
 front of the color line, and opposite the centre of the regiment, or on the 
 best ground ; the prisoners' tent about four paces in rear. In a regi- 
 ment of the second line, the advanced post of the police guard is ..00 
 paces in rear of the line of its field and staff. 
 
 509 The horses of the staff officers and of. the baggage train are 
 twenty-five paces in rear of the tents of the field and staff; the wagons 
 are parked on the same line, and the men of the train camped near 
 
 them. j, , . , i t 
 
 510 The sinks of the men are 150 paces in front of the color line— 
 those of the officers 100. paces in rear of the train. Both are concealed 
 by bushes. When convenient, the sinks of the men may be placed in . 
 the rear or on the flank. A portion of the earth dug out for sinks to be 
 thrown back occasionally. „\ nnn . , 
 
 511. The front of the camp of a regiment of 1000 men in two ranks 
 will be 400 paces, or one-fifth less paces than the number of files, if tho 
 camp is to have the same front as the troops in order of battle. But 
 the front may be reduced to 190 paces by narrowing the company 
 streets to five paces ; and if it be desirable to reduce the front still more, 
 the tents of companies may.be pitched in single file— those of a division 
 facing on the same street. 
 
 CAMP OF CAVALRY. 
 
 512. In the cavalry, each company has one file of tents — tho tents 
 opening on the street facing the left of the camp. 
 
 513. The horses of each company are placed in a single file, facing 
 the opening of the tents, and are fastened to pickets planted firmly in 
 the ground, from three to six paces from the tehts of the troops. 
 
 514. The interval between the file of tents should be such, that, the 
 regijnent being broken into column of companies, each company should 
 be on the extension of the line on which the horses are to be picketed 
 
 515. The streets separating the squadrons are wider than th:jse 
 between the companies by the interval -separating squadrons inline;' 
 these intervals are kept, free from any obstruction throughout the 
 camp. 
 
 '516. The horses of the rear,, rank are placed on the left o/ those of 
 their file leaders, 
 
 517. The horses of the Lieutenants are placed en the right of their 
 platoons ; those of the Captains on the right of the company.

CAMP OF ARXJ.JLLERV — BIVOUACS. 66 
 
 of horses in/he company fixes the depth of the camp and the distance 
 between the files of tents: the forage is placed between the tents. 
 ■519. The kitchens are twenty paces in front of each tile of tents. 
 5.0. The non-commissioned officers are in the tents of the front rank. 
 Camp followers, teamsters, &c, are in the rear rank. The police guard 
 in the rear rank, near the centre of the regiment. 
 
 521. The tents of the Lieutenants are 30 paces in rear of the file of 
 their company ; the tents of the Captains 30 paces in rear of the Licu- 
 tooants. 
 
 522. The Colonel's tent 30 paces in the rear of the Captains', near 
 the centre of the regiment ; the Lieutenant-Colonel on his right ; the 
 Adjutant on his left; the Majors on the same line, opposite the second 
 company on the right and> left ; the Surgeon on the leftof the Adjutant. 
 
 623." The fiel i and staff" have their horses on the left of their tents, 
 .on the same line with the company horses ; *ick horses are placed in 
 one line on the right or left of the camp. The men who attend them 
 have a separate file of tents ; the forges ami wagons in rear of this file. 
 The horses of the train and of camp followers are in one or more files 
 extending to the rear, behind the right or left squadron. The advanced 
 post of the police guard is 200 paces in froDt, opposite the centre of the 
 regiment : the horses in one or two files. 
 
 524. The sinks for the men are 150 paces in front — those for officers, 
 100 paces in the rear of the- camp. • 
 
 CAMP OF ARTILLERY. 
 
 525. The artillery is encamped near the troops to which it is attached,. 
 so as to lie protected from attack, and to contribute to the defence of 
 the camp. Sentinels for the park arc furnished by the artillery, and, 
 when necessary, by the other troops. 
 
 520. For a battery of six pieces, the tents are in three files — one for 
 each section ; distance between the. ranks of tents, 15 paces; tents, 
 opening to the front. The horses of each section are picketed in one 
 file, 10 paces to the left of the file of tents. In the horse artillery, or if 
 .the number of horses makes it necessary, the horses are in two files, on 
 the rijrht and left of the filo of tents. The kitchens are 25 paces in 
 front of the front rank of tents. Tho tents of the officers are in the 
 outside files of company tents, 2"> paces in the rear of tho rear rank — 
 the Captain on t lie right, the Lieutenants on the left. 
 
 527. The park is opposite the centre of the camp, 40 paces in rear of 
 the officers' tents. The carriages in files four paces apart ; distance 
 between ranks of carriages sufficient for the horses when harnessed to 
 them ; the park guard is 25 paces in rear of the park. The sinks for 
 the men 150 paces in front; for the officers 100 paces in the rear. Tho 
 harness is in the tents of the men. 
 
 BIVOUACS. 
 
 528. A regiment of cavalry being in order of battle, in rear of tho 
 gr< arid to bo i c up el, the Colonel breaks it by platoons to the ri^ht. 
 The. horses of each platoon are placed iii a single row, and fastened as 
 prescribed for camps ; near tl Ley remain saddled all night, 
 with slackened girths. The aims fire at first stacked in rear of each 
 row of burses, the sabres, with the bridles hung on them, are placed 
 
 • >t the stacks. 
 
56 OANXONMENTS. 
 
 529. The forage is placed on the right of each row of horse?. Two 
 stable-guards for each platoon watch the horses. 
 
 530. A fire for eaoh platoon is made near the color line, 20 paces to 
 the left of the row of horses. A shelter is made for the men around 
 the fire, if possible, and each man then stands his arms and bridle 
 against the shelter. 
 
 531. The fires and shelter for the officers are placed in rear of the 
 line of those for the men. 
 
 532. The intervals between the squadrons must be without obstruc- 
 tion throughout the whole depth of the bivouac. 
 
 v 533. The interval between the shelters should be such that the pla- 
 toons c;'n take up a line of battle freely to the front or rear. 
 
 534. The distance from the enemy decides the manner in which the 
 horses are to be fed and led to water. When it is permitted to unsad- 
 dle, the saddles are placed in the rear of the horses. 
 
 535. In infantry, the fires are made in rear of the color line, on tho 
 ground that would be'occupied by the tents in camp. The companies 
 are placed around them, and, if possible, construct shelters. When 
 liable to surprise, the infantry should stand to arms at daybreak, and 
 the cavalry mount until the return of the reeonnoitering parties. If 
 the arms are to be taken apart to clean, it must be done by detach- 
 ments, successively. 
 
 CANTONMENTS. 
 
 536. The cavalry should be placed under shelter whenever the dis- 
 tance from the enemy, and from the ground where the troops are to 
 form for battle, permit it. Taverns and farm houses, with large stables 
 and free access, are selected for quartering them.. 
 
 537. The Colonel indicates the place of assembling in case of alarm. 
 It should generally be outside the cantonment ; the egress from it should 
 be free, the retreat upon the other positions secure, and roads leading 
 to it on the side of the enemy obstructed. 
 
 538. The necessary orders being given, as in establishing a camp, the 
 picket and grand guards are posted. A sentinel may be placed on a ' 
 steeple or high house, and then the troops arc marched to the quarters. 
 The men sleep in the stables, if it is thought necessary. 
 
 539. ^he above applies in the main to infantry. Near the enemy, 
 .companies or platoons should be collected, as much as possible, in thfe 
 
 same houses. If companies must be separated, they should be dhided 
 by platoons or squads. All take arms at daybreak. 
 
 540. When cavalry and infantry canton together, the latter furnish 
 the guards by night, and the former by day. 
 
 541. Troops cantoned in presence of tho enemy, should be covered* 
 by advanced guards and natural or artificial obstacles. Cantonments 
 taken during a cessation of hostilities, should be established in rear of 
 a line of defence, and in front of the point on which the troops would 
 concentrate to receive an attack. The General commanding-in-chief 
 assigns the limits of their cantonments to the division*, the comman- 
 ders of divisions to brigades, and the commanders of brigades post 
 their regiments. The position for each corps in case of attack is care' 
 fully pointed out, by the Generals, 
 
HKADgt'ARTEr.S — ISSUES. 
 
 HEADQUARTERS. 
 
 5 1-. Generals take post at the centre of their commands, on the main 
 channels <>f communication. If troops bivouac in presence of the en- 
 emy, the Generals bivouac with them. 
 
 MILITARY EXERCISES. 
 
 543. When troops remain in cam]) or cantonment many dnys, the 
 Colonel? require them to be exercised in the school of the battalion and 
 squadron. Regiments and brigades encamped by division nre not uni- 
 ted for drills wirhout the permission of the General of division. The 
 troops must not be exercised at the firings without the authority of the 
 General Commaoding-in-cbief. The practice of the drums must never 
 begin with the "general," or the " march of the regiment ;" nor the 
 trumpets with the sound " to horse." The hour for practice is always 
 announced. 
 
 544. In the field, verbal orders and important sealed orders aro car- 
 ried' by officers, and, if possible, by staff, officers. When orders aro 
 carried by orderlies, the place and time of departure will be marked on 
 them, and place and time of delivery on the receipt- 
 
 DISPATCHES. 
 
 545. Dispatches, particularly for distant corps, should be entrusted 
 only to officers to whom their contents can be confided. In a country 
 occupied by the enemy, the bearer of dispatches should be accompanied 
 by at least two <>f the best mounted men ; should avoid towus and vil- 
 lages, and the main roads ; rest as little as possible, and only at out of- 
 the-way places. Where there is dasger, lie should send one of the men 
 in advance, and be always ready to destroy his dispatches. He should 
 be adroit in answering questions about the army, and not be intimida- 
 ted by threats. 
 
 WATCHWORDS. 
 
 546. The parole and countersign are issued daily from the principal 
 headquarters of the command. The countersign is given to the senti- 
 nels ami non-c'ra missioned officers of the guards; the par >le to tho 
 oi mmissioned i Seers of guards. The parole is usually the name of a 
 General : the countersign of a battle- 
 
 M7. Y> iid countersign cannot he communicated daily 
 
 to A 1 cbment which ought to u*e the same as the main body, 
 
 a serii - may be sent for some days in advance. 
 
 548. rf the countersign is lost, or one of the guard deserts with it, 
 the commander on the Rpot will substitute another, and report ;he case 
 at once t<> tho proper superior, that immediate notice may ho given to 
 beadquarl 
 
 r.s. 
 
 549. At- what time and for what period issues are made, must depend 
 Iroumstanoea, and he regulated in orders. When an army is not 
 
 m iving, rations arc gonorally issued for four days at a time- Issues to 
 the companies of a regiment, and the fatigues to receive them, are su- 
 
58 . ROSTER. 
 
 perintended by an officer detailed from the regiment. Issues- are made 
 from one end of. the line to the other, beginning on tjie right and left 
 alternately. An issue commenced on one regiment will not be inter- 
 rupted for another entitled to precedence if it had been in place. 
 
 THE ROSTER, OR DETAILS FOR SERVICE. 
 
 550. The duties performed by detail are of three classes. The Jirst 
 class comprises, 1st, grand guards and outposts ; 2d, interior guards, as 
 of magazine, hospital, &c. ; 3d, orderlies; 4th, police guards. 
 
 The second class comprises, 1st, detachments to protect laborers on 
 military works, as field works, communications, &c. ; 2d, working par- 
 ties on such works ; 3d, detachments to protect fatigues. 
 
 The third class are all fatigues, without arms, in or out of camp. 
 
 In the cavalry, stable guards form a separate roster, and count before 
 fatigue. 
 
 551. The rosters are distinct for each class. Officers are named on 
 them in the order of rank. The details are taken in succession in the 
 order of the roster, beginning at the head. 
 
 552. Lieutenants form one roster, and First and Second Lieutenants 
 are entered on it alternately. The senior First Lieutenant is the first 
 on the roster ; the senior Second Lieutenant is the second, &c. The 
 Captains form one roster, and are exempt from fatigues, except to su- 
 perintend issues. A captain commanding a battalion temporarily is 
 exempt from detail, and duty falling to him passes. Lieutenant-Colo- 
 nels and Majors are on one roster. They may be detailed for duties 
 of the first and second classes, when the importance of the guards and 
 detachments requires it. Their roster is kept at division and brigade 
 headquarters. In the company, Sergeants, Corporals, and privates 
 form distinct rosters. 
 
 553. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers take duties of 
 the first class in the order stated, viz : the first for the detail, takes the . 
 grand guards ; the next, the interior guards ; the last, the*pohce guards ; 
 and the same rule in regard to the details and duties of the second 
 class. In the details for the third class, the senior officer takes the 
 largest party. The party first for detail takes the service out of camp- 
 
 554. When the officer whose tour it is, is not able to take it, or is not 
 present at the hour of marching, the next after him takes it. When a 
 guard has passed the chain of sentinels, or an interior guard has reached 
 its post, the officer whose tour it was cannot then take it. He takes the 
 tour of the officer who lias taken his. When an officer is prevented by 
 sickness from taking, his tour, it passes. These rules apply equally to 
 non-commissioned officers and soldiers. » 
 
 555. Duties of the first and second classes are credited on. the roster 
 when the guards or detachments have passed the chain of sentinels, or 
 an interior guard has reached its post-; fatigue duties when the parties 
 have passed the chain or begun the duties in camp. 
 
 556. Every officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier on duty of the 
 first class, or who is of the next detail for such duty, takes, when re- 
 lieved, theduty of the second or third class that has fallen to him du- 
 ring that time, unless he has marched for detachment of more than 
 twenty four hours. 
 
 557. Soldiers march with knapsacks on all dutios of the first class ; 
 
TOLICE GUARD. 69 
 
 and with arms and equipments complete on all working parties out of 
 tlic camp, unless otherwise ordered. In the cavalry, horses are packed 
 for all mounted service. 
 
 5.i8. In the cavalry, dismounted men, and those whose horses are not 
 in order, are preferred for the detail for dismounted service. Those 
 who are mounted are never employed on those services, if the number 
 of the other class are sufficient. 
 
 559. JKvery non commissioned officer and soldier in the cavalry de- 
 tailed for dismounted service must, before he marches, take to the First 
 Sergeant of the troop, or Sergeant of his squad, his horse equipments 
 and his valise ready packed. In case of alarm, the First Sergeant sees 
 that the horses of these men are equipped and led to the rendezvous. 
 
 560. These rules in regard to the rceter apply also to service in gar- 
 rison. 
 
 TOLICE GUARD. * 
 
 561. In each regiment a police guard is detailed every day, consist- 
 ing of two Sergeants, three Corporals, two drummers, and men enough 
 to furnish the required sentinels and patrols. The men are taken from 
 all the companies, from each in proportion to its strength. The guard 
 is commanded by a Lieutenant, under the supervision of a Captain, as 
 regimental officer of the day. It furnishes ten sentinels at the camp ; 
 one over the arms of the guard; 'one at 'the Colonel's tent; three on 
 the color front — one of them over the colors; three, fifty paces in rear 
 of the field i fficers' tents : and one on each flank, between it and the 
 next regiment. If it is a flank regiment, one more sentinel is posted on 
 tli e outer flank. 
 
 562. An advanced post is detached from the police guard, composed 
 of a Serjeant, a Corporal, a drummer, and nine men to furnish senti- 
 nels and the guard over the prisoners. The men arc first of the guard 
 roster from each company. The men of the advanced post must not 
 leave it under any pietext. Their meak< are sent to the post. The ad- 
 vanced post furnishes three sentinels; two a few paces in front of the 
 p. Bt, opposite the right and left wing of the regiment, posted so as to 
 tee as far as possible to the front, and one over the arms. 
 
 563. In Uie cavalry, dismounted men arc employed in preference on 
 the police guard. The mounted men on guard are sent in succession, 
 a part at a time, to groom their horses. The advanced post is always 
 
 1 of mounted men. 
 
 564. In each company, a Corporal has charge of the stable-guard. 
 lli> tour 1/C£iii> at retreat, and ends at morning stable-call. The stable- 
 guard :^ large enough to relieve the men on post every two hours. They 
 
 ;it-. and are called, by the Corporal when wanted. At 
 retreat lie closes the Btreets of (he cam]) with cords, or uses other pre- 
 cautions t<> pi event the escape of loo>e hordes. 
 
 565. The officer of the day is charged with the order and cleanliness 
 of the Camp; a fatigue is furnished to him when the number of pris- 
 oners i> insufficient to i l< an th 6emp. He has the calls beaten by tho 
 drummer of the <znard. 
 
 566. The police guard and tho advanced post pay tho same honors as 
 other guards. Hoy take arms when an armed body approaches. 
 
 7. Thc»eentiuel over the colors has orders not to permit thsin 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 by two armed men. 
 
 568. The sentinels on the color front permit no soldier to take arms 
 from the stacks, except by order of some officer, or a non-commissioned 
 officer of the guard. The sentinel at the Colonel's tent has orders to 
 warn him, day or night, ot any unusual movement in or about the camp. 
 
 56.9. The sentinels on the front, flanks, and rear, see that na soldier 
 leaves camp with horse or arms, unless conducted by a non-commis- 
 sioned officer. They prevent non-commissioned officers and soldiers 
 from passing out at night, except to go to the sinks, and mark if they ' 
 return. They arrest, at any time, suspicious persons prowling about the . 
 camp; and at ni^ht, every one who attempts to enter, even the soldiers 
 of other corps. Arrest*ed persons are sent to the officer of the guard, 
 who sends them, if necessary, to the officer of the day] 
 
 570; The sentinels on the front of the advanced post have orders to 
 permit neither non-commissioned officers or soldiers to pass the line, 
 without reporting at the advanced post ; to warn the advanced post of 
 the approach of any armed body, and to arrest all suspicious persons. 
 The Sergeant sends. persons so arrested to the officer of the guard, and 
 warns him of the approach of any armed body: 
 
 571. The sentinel over the arms at the advanced post guards the 
 prisoners and keeps sight of them, and suffers no one to converse with 
 them without permission. They are only permitted to go to the sinks 
 one at a time, and under a sentinel. 
 
 ' 572. If any one is to be passed out of camp at night, the officer of the 
 guard sends him under escort to the advanced post, and the Sergeant 
 of the post has him passed over the chain. 
 
 573. At retreat, the officer of the guard has the roll of his guard 
 called, and inspect arms, to see that they are loaded and in order ; and 
 visits the advanced post for the same purpose. The Sergeant of the 
 police guard, accompanied by two armed soldiers, folds the colors and 
 lays them on the trestle in the rear of the arms. He eoes that the sut- 
 ler's stores are closed, and the men leave them, and' that the kitchen 
 fires aie put out at the appointed hour. 
 
 574. The officer of the day satisfies himself frequently during the 
 night of the vigilance of the police guard and advanced post. He 
 prescribes patrols and rounds to be made by the officer and non com- 
 missioned officers of the guard. The officer of the guard orders them 
 when be thinks necessary. He visits the sentinels frequently. 
 
 575. At reveille, the police guard takes arms ; the officer of'the guard 
 inspects it and the advanced post. The Sergeant replants the colors in 
 place. At retreat and reveille the advanced post takes arms ; the 
 Sergeant makes his report to the officer of the guard when he visits the 
 post. 
 
 576. When necessary, the camp is. covered "at night with nnall out- 
 posts, forming a double chain of sentinels. These posts are under the 
 orders of the commander of the police guard., and are. visited by his pat- 
 rols and rounds. 
 
 577. The officer of the guard makes his report of his tour of service, 
 iucluding the advanced post, and sends it, after the guard is marched 
 off, to the officer of the day. 
 
POLICE GUARD. Ill 
 
 578. When the regiment marches, the men of the police guard return 
 .to their companies, except those of the advanced post. In the cavalry, 
 at the sound " boot and saddle," the officer of the guard sends one-half 
 the men to saddle and pack ; when the regiment assembles, all the men 
 join it. 
 
 379. 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 pares in front ef the centre of the ground 
 marked for the regiment. The officer of the guard furnishes the senti- 
 nels required by the commander of the camping party. 
 
 The adva*ced post takes its station. 
 
 580. The advanced post of the old police guard takes charge of tho 
 prisoners on the march, and marches, bayonets fixed, at the centre of 
 the regiment. On reaching the camp, it turns over the prisoners to tho 
 new advanced post. 
 
 581. The detail for the picket is made daily, after the details for duty 
 of first class, and from the next for detail on the roster of that class. 
 It is designed to furnish 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 o'r gua^rd, or who have passed 
 the night in bivouac. 
 
 5S2. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the picket 
 are at all times dressed and equipped ; the horses are saddled, and 
 knapsacks and valises ready to be put on. 
 
 58.']. Detachments and guards from the picket are taken from tho 
 he-id of the picket roll in each company, and, if possible, equally from 
 each company. The picket of a regiment is composed of a Lieutenant, 
 two Sergeants, four Corporals, a drummer, and about forty privates. 
 For a smaller force, the picket is in proportion to the strength of tho 
 detachment. 
 
 . 5H4. Officers and men of the picket who march on detachment or 
 guard before retreat, will be replaced. 
 
 The picket is assembled by the Adjutant at guard-mounting ; it 
 is p i ted twelve paces in the rear of the guard, and is inspected by its 
 own commander. When the guard has marched in review, the com- 
 mand nit of the picket marches it to the left of the police guard, where 
 it stacks its ;>nns. and is dismissed; the arms are under charge of the 
 sentinel of the police guard. 
 
 ">m'>. The picket is only assembled by the orders of the Colonel or of- 
 ficer of the day. It forms on the left of the police guard. 
 
 587. The officer of the day requires the roll of the picket to be called 
 frequently during the d;fy ; the call is sounded from the police guard. 
 At roll-calls and inspection*, infantry pickets assemble with knapsacks 
 on; eavaln on foot. The picket is assembled at retreat; the officer 
 has the roll called, and inspects the arms. The pickets sleep in their 
 tentB, but Without undressing. 
 
 588. The picket does not assemble at night except in eases of alarm, 
 or when the^ whole or a part is to march ; then the officer of the day 
 calls the officers, the latter the non-commissioned officers, and these 
 the men, for which purpose each ascertains the tents of those he is to 
 call ; they are assembled without beat of drum or other noise. At 
 night, cavalry pickets assemble mounted* 
 
62 GRAND GUARDS. 
 
 589. Pickets rejoin their companies whenever the regiment is under 
 arms for review, drill, march, or battle. 
 
 GRAND GUARDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. 
 
 590. Grand guards are the advanced posts of a camp or cantonment, 
 and should cover the approaches to it. Their number, strength and 
 position are regulated by the commanders of brigades ; in detached 
 corps, by the commanding officer. When it "can be, the grand guards 
 of cavalry and inlantry are combined, the cavalry furnishing the ad- 
 vanced sentinels. When the cavalry is weak, the grand guards are in- 
 fantry, but furnished with a few cavalry soldiers, to get ami carry in- 
 telligence of the enemy. 
 
 591. The strength of a grand guard of a brigade will depend on its 
 object and the strength of the regiments, the nature of the country, the 
 position of the enemy, and the disposition of the inhabitants. It is 
 usually commanded by a Captain.. 
 
 592. Under the supervisions of the Generals of Division and Brigade, 
 the grand guards are specially under the direction of a field ofticer of 
 the day in each brigade. In case of necessity, Captains may be added 
 to the roster of Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors for this detail. 
 
 593. Staff officers sent from division headquarters to inspect the posts 
 of grand guards, give them orders only in urgent cases, and in the ab- 
 sence of the field officer of the day of the brigade. 
 
 594. Grand' guards usually mount at the tame time as the other 
 guards, but may mount before daybreak if the General of Brigade 
 thinks it necessary to double the outposts at that time. In this. case 
 they assemble and march without noise, and during their march throw 
 out scouts; this precaution should always be taken in the first posting 
 of a grand guard. The doubling of guards weakens the corps and 
 fatigues the men, and should seldom he resorted to, and never when 
 preparing to march or fight. 
 
 595. A grand guard is conducted to its post, in the firet instance, by 
 the field officer of the day, guided by a staff officer who accompanied 
 the General in his reconnoissance. After the post has been established, 
 the commander sends to the field officer of the day, when necessary, a 
 soldier of the guard to guide the relieving guard to the post. lie also 
 sends to him in the evening a Corporal or trusty man of the guard for 
 the note containing the parole and countersign, and sends, them before 
 dark to the detached posts. He will not suffer his guard to be relieved 
 except by a guard of the brigade, or by special orders. 
 
 596'. If there \s no pass to be observed or defended, the grand guards 
 are placed near the centre of thejgronnd they are to observe, on shel- 
 tered, and, if possible, high ground, 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 posts selected farther to the rear. 
 
 597. In broken or in mountainous countries, and particularly if the 
 inhabitants are ill-disposed, intermediate posts must be established 
 when it is necessary to post the grand guard distant from the camp. 
 
 598. Grand guards are chiefly to watch the enemy in front; their 
 flanks are protected by .each other, and the camps must furnish posts to 
 protect their rear and secure their retreat. 
 
CHAM) guards'. 83 
 
 •599. Grand guards are seldom intrenched, and never without the 
 orders if the General, except by a barricade or ditch, when exposed in 
 a plain to attacks of cavalry. 
 
 GOO. The General of Division, if he thinks proper, changes the sta- 
 tions and orders of these guards, and establishes posts to connect the 
 'brigades or protect the exterior Banks. 
 
 GO t. After a grand guard is posted, the first care of the commander 
 and of the field officer of the day, is to get news of the enemy ; then to 
 reconnoitre his position, and the roads, bridges, fords, and defil^: 
 This reoonnoisanco determines the force and position of the small posts 
 and their sentinels day and bight,. These posts, according to their im- 
 portance, are commanded by officers or non-commissioned officers ; the 
 cavalry posts may Ik? relieved every four or eight hours. 
 
 G02. The commander of a grain! guard receives detailed instructions 
 from the General and field officer of the day of the brigade, and in- 
 structs the commanders of the B/nall posts as to their duties and the ar- 
 rangements for the defence or retreat. The Commanders of grand 
 guards may, in urgent cases, change the p< sitions of the small posts. 
 If the small posts are to change their positions at night, they wait until 
 the grand guav'd have got into position, and darkness hides their move- 
 ments from the enemy; then march silently and rapidly under the 
 charge of an officer. 
 
 603. Iu detached corps, small posts of pi eked men are at night sent 
 forward on the roads bv which the enemy may attack or turn the posi- 
 tion. They watch the forks of the roads, keep silence, conceal them- 
 selves, light no fires, and often change place. They announce the ap- 
 proach of the enemy hy signals agreed upon,, and retreat by routes ex- . 
 amined during the day, to places selected, and rejoin the guard at day- ' 
 break. 
 
 604. Grand guards have special orders in each case, and the follow- 
 ing in all cases : to inform the nearest posts and tne field officer of the 
 day, or the General of Brigade, of the march and movements' of the 
 enemy, and of the attacks they receive or fear;«*o examine every per- 
 son passing near the post, particularly those coming from without; to 
 arrest suspicious persons, and all soldiers and camp followers who try 
 t> pa*8nut without permission, and to Bend-to the General, unless other- 
 Wise directed, all country people who Rome in,

 • will not take arms for inspection* or ceremony 
 when it would expose them to the view id' the enemy. 
 
 607. Grand guards are often charged with the care and working of 
 telegraphic signals. , . 
 
 608. The sentinels and videttes are placed on points from which they 
 can see farthest, taking care nut to break their connection with each 
 other or with their posts. They are | from the enemy as much 
 
 tsible by walls, or trees, nr elevated ground. It is generally even 
 
 of 01 ire advantage n >t to he seen than to see far. They should* not be 
 placed near covers, where the enemy may capture them. 
 
 v to fire, videttes carry their 
 pistols or carbines in their hands, A sentinel must be sure of the 
 
64 hRAM) Ul'ARDS. • 
 
 presence of an enemy before he fires; once satisfied of that, he must 
 fire, though all defence 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 post 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 communicate with the guard. 
 During the day the communication may be made by signals, such as 
 raising a cap or handkerchief. At night sentinels are placed on low 
 gl^nind, the better to see objects against the sky. 
 
 Gil. 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. sig- 
 nals, -such as striking the musket with the hand, striking the hands to- 
 gether, &.c. 
 
 612. On the opproach of any one at night, the sentinel orders — 
 " Halt! " If the order is not obeyed after once repeated, he fires. If 
 obeyed, he calls — " Who goes there? If answered — "Bounds" or 
 " Patrol," he says — "Advance with the countersign." If more than one 
 advance at the same time, or the person who advances fails to give the 
 countersign or signal agreed on, the sentinel fires, and falls back on his 
 guard. The sentinel over the arms, as soon as his hail is answered, 
 turns out the guard, and the corporal goes to reconnoitre. When it is 
 desirable to hide the position of the sentinel from the enemy, the hail 
 is replaced by signals ; the sentinel gives the signal, and those approach- 
 ing the counter signal. 
 
 613. With raw troops, or when the light troops of the enemy are nu- 
 merous 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 dying sentinel, moves about, examining the 
 paths and hollows. 
 
 614. Tne commandants of grand guards visit the sentinels often ; 
 change their positions when neeessar\ ; make them repeat their orders; 
 teach them under what circumstances and at what signals to retire, and 
 particularly not to fall back directly oh their guard if pursued, but to 
 lead the enemy in a circuit. 
 
 615. At night, half the men of the grand guard off post watch under 
 arms, while the rest lie down, arms by their side. The horses are al- 
 ways bridled ; the horsemen hold the reins, and must not sleep. 
 
 616. When a grand guard of cavalry is so placed as not to be liable 
 to a sudden attack from the enemy, the General may permit the horses 
 to be fed during the night, unbridling for this purpose a few at a time 
 — the horsemen being vigilant to prevent them from escaping. 
 
 617. An hour before break of dav r , infantry grand guards stand to 
 arms, and cavalry mount. At the advanced posts, some or' the infantry 
 are all night u rider arms, some of the cavalry on horseback. ■ 
 
 618. The commander of a grand guard regulates the numbers, the 
 hours, and the march of patrol* and rounds, according to tha strength 
 of his troop and the necessity for. precaution ; and, accompanied by 
 those who are to command the patrols and rounds during the night, ho 
 will reconnoitre all the route they are to follow. 
 
 619. Patrols and rounds march slowly, in silence, and with great 
 precaution ; halt frequently to listen, and examine the ground. The 
 
©RAND ROUNDS. 65 
 
 rounds consist of an officer or non-commissioned officer, and two or three 
 men. 
 
 620. Toward the break of day the patrols ought to he more frequent, 
 and sent to greater distances. They examine the hollow-ways, and 
 ground likely to conceal an enemy, hut with great, caution, to avoid be- 
 ing cut off, or engaged in an unequal combat ; if they meet the enemy, 
 they fire and Attempt to stop his march. While the patrols are out tho 
 posts arc under arms. 
 
 • 621. Cavalry patrols should examine the country to a greater distance 
 than infantry, and report to the infantry guard every thing they observe. 
 The morning patrols and scouts do not return until broad daylight; 
 and when they return, tho night sentinels are withdiawn, and the posts 
 for the. day resumed. 
 
 622. When patrols are sent beyond the advanced posts, the posts and 
 sentinels should be warned. 
 
 623. On their return, commanders of patrols report in regard to tho 
 ground and every thing they have observed of the movements of tho 
 enemy, or of his posts, and the commandant of the grand guard reports 
 to the field officer of the day. 
 
 624. Tho tires of the grand guards should he hidden by a wall, or 
 ditch, or other screen. To deceive the enemy, fires are sometimes made 
 en ground not occupied. Fires are not permitted at small posts- liable 
 to surprise. 
 
 625. The horses of cavalry guards are watered or fed by detachments ; 
 during which the rest are ready to mount. 
 
 626. 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 field officer 
 of the Jay, and warns the post near him. 
 
 627. Bearers of Hags are not permitted to pass the outer chain of sen- 
 tinels : their faces are turned from tlu? post of army ; if necessary their 
 eyes are bandaged; a non commissioned officer stays with them to pre- 
 vent indiscretion of the sentinels. 
 
 628. The commandant of the grand guard receipts for dispatches, and 
 Rends them to the field officer of the day or General of Brigade, and dis- 
 misses the hearer; hut if he has discovered what ought to be concealed 
 from the enemy, he is detained as long as necessary. 
 
 Deserters are disarmed at the advanced posts, and sent to the- 
 commander of the grand guard, who gets from them all the information- 
 he can concerning bis post. If many come at night they are received 
 cautiously, a ftp at u time. They are sent in the morni ig to the field 
 officer of the day, or Co the nearest post or samp, to be conducted to tho 
 ral of the brigade. All suspected persons are searched by com- 
 manders of the posts. • 
 
 ■ When an enemy advances to an attack, unless he is in too great 
 force, or the grand guard is to defend an intrenched post or n defile, it 
 will take position, and execute the movements to check the enemy, Bal- 
 ing as skirmishers, or fighting in close or open order, as may be best. 
 The guard joins its corps when in line, or when a sufficient number of 
 troops have reached the ground it defends, 
 
66 ENTRENCHED POSTS — DETACHMENTS. 
 
 ' ENTRENCHED POSTS, 
 
 631. Unless the army be acting on tlie defensive, no post should- be 
 intrenched, except t> -cover the weak parts of the line, or at points 
 Vhich the enemy cannot avoid, or in mountain -warfare, or to the close 
 of a defile, or to cover winter quarters. 
 
 632. Posts connected with the operations of-an army are intrenched 
 only by order of the General commanding in chief or a General of Di- 
 vision. -^ 
 
 633. Any intrenchment that requires artillery, is considered as a post, 
 and a guard or garrison and commander are assigned to it. 
 
 634. The General who establishes an intrenched post gives to its com- 
 mander detailed instructions in regard to its defence, and the circum- 
 stances under which the defence should cease. 
 
 635. The commander reconnoiters his post; distributes the troops; 
 posts the officers and noncommissioned officers ; forms a reserve ; gives 
 orders for all contingencies he can foresee; supposes an attack, and ar- 
 ranges his troops for defence, so as to prepare them for an attack, day or 
 night. 
 
 636. In dark weather he redoubles his vigilance, and changes the 
 hours and dfrection of the rounds and parols. Ho permits no flags of 
 truce, deserters or strangers to enter. If a flag ought to pass his post, 
 he bandages his eyes He refuses admittance to a relief or any other 
 party until he has carefully examined them. In case of an attack, he 
 does not wait for orders or bold a council. Having defended his post 
 to the last extremity, or till the purpose of the defence, according to his 
 instructions, is answered, he may then spike his guns and rejoin the 
 army under cover of night, or by cutting his way through the eueiny. 
 
 DETACHMENTS. 
 
 * 
 
 637. When adetachmept is to be formed from the different regiments 
 of a brigade, the Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade assembles' 
 it, and turns it over to the commander. 
 
 638. When a detachment is to be formed from different brigades, the 
 Assistant Adjutant General in each, forms the contingent of the brigade, 
 and sends it to the place of assembling. 
 
 639. Detachments are generally formed by taking battalions, squad- 
 rons, companies, platoons in turn, according to the roster for such 
 detail. 
 
 640. When the detachment is to consist of men from every company 
 or troop, the first on the roster for guard are taken. 
 
 641. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, whose ^pur it is 
 to go on detachment, 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 ia regulated while they 
 serve together as if they formed one detachment. But the senior officers 
 cannot prevent the commander of any detachment from moving, when 
 he thinks proper, to execute the orders he has received. 
 
 643. On the return of a detachment, the commander reports to the 
 headquarters from which he received his orders. 
 
RECONNOISANCES — PARTISAN3 AND FLANKERS. G7 
 
 RECONNOISANCES. 
 
 644. Near an enemy, daily reconnoisances are made to observe tlic 
 
 ground in front, and to ilisoover whether the advanced guards of the 
 enemy have been increased or put in motion, or any other sign of his 
 preparation for march or action. 
 
 G45. They are made l>y small parties of cavalry and infantry, from 
 the hrigade, under the direction of the General of Division < r the General 
 of a Be par ate brigade, and to less distance by the pastoral of the grand 
 guard, and are not repeated at the same hour or by the same route. On 
 the plain, reconnoisances a:e made by cavalry ; among mountains, hy 
 infantry, with a few horsemen to carry intelligence. 
 
 040. Reconnoiterisg parties observe the following precautions : to 
 leave small posts, or sentinels at intervals, to transmit intelligence to 
 the advanced posts of aw army, unless the return is to lie by a different 
 route : to march with caution, to avoid fighting: and see, if possible, 
 without being seen ; to keep an advanced guard ; to Bend well mounted 
 men ahead of the advanced guard; and on the (lank of the party; to 
 instruct the scouts that no two should enter a defile or mount a bill to- 
 gether, but to gQ one at a time,, while one watches to carry the news if 
 the other is taken. 
 
 017. Before daybreak the advanced guard and scouts are drawn 
 closer : the party then march slowly ami silently, stop frequently to 
 listen, and keep the horses that neigh in the rear. The party should 
 ent< r no wood, defile, village, or inclosure, until it has been fully ex- 
 amined by the. scouts. 
 
 648. Special reconnoisances are made under the instruction of tlte 
 Geueral in command, by such officers and with such force r.s he may 
 direct. 
 
 649. Offensive or foroed reconnoisances are to ascertain with certainty 
 points in the enemy's position, or his strength. They an* sometime* 
 preludes to real actions, and sometimes only demonstrations. They 
 drive in his outposts, and sometimes engage special corps of his line. 
 They are only made by order of the General eoniuiandiiig-iu-chief, or 
 
 minanderof an isolated corps. 
 
 650. In all repott$ of reconnoisances, the officer making them shall 
 distinguish expressly what he has seen from the accounts he has not 
 beer i aid'- to verily personally. 
 
 651. In special and offensive reconnoisances, the report must be ac- 
 companied hv a field ,-keti h of the localities, the dispositions and defen- 
 ces of the enemy. 
 
 PARTISANS AND rLANKERS. 
 
 >'.'<-. "i ":■. •■ operations of partisan -corps depend on the nnture and 
 theatre of the war; they enter into the general plan of operations, and 
 are C'lidin-teil under the orders of tin 1 General commundmg-in-chief. 
 
 . The composition and strength of partisan corps and detachment 
 of Hankers depend on th> the difficulties, the distance, and the 
 
 probable time of the expedition. 
 
 654. The purpose oi these isolatt moitre at a dis- 
 
 tant ■ on ihf ii.ioks o) the army, t protect its operations, to deceive tho 
 enemy, to interrupt hi communications, to intercept his courier* and 
 
 rrespondence, to threaten or destroy his magazines, to carry off 
 
68 MARCHES. 
 
 his posts and his convoys, or, at all events, to retard his march by 
 making him detach largely for their protection. 
 
 655. While these corps fatigue the enemy and embarrass his opera- 
 tions, they endeavor to inspire confidence and secure the good will of 
 the inhabitants in a friendly county, and to hold them in check in an 
 enemy's country. 
 
 656. They move actively, appear unexpectedly on different points, in 
 such a manner as to make it impossible to estimate their force, or to 
 tell whether they are irregular forces or an advanced guard. 
 
 657. These operations require vigilance, secrcsy, energy, and prompt- 
 ness. The partisan commander must frequently supply by stratagem 
 and audacity what he wants in numbers. 
 
 658. These detachments ate sometimes composed of different arms, 
 but the service belongs more particularly to the light cavalry, which 
 can move to a distance by rapid marches, surprise the enemy* attack 
 unexpectedly, and retire as promptly. 
 
 659. Stormy weather, fogs, extreme heat, and the night above all, 
 are favorable to the success of ambuscades: when the enemy are care- 
 less, the break of day is the best time. A partisan commander should 
 communicate to his second in command, his secret order*, the direction 
 and object of the expedition, and the different points of junction with 
 the army. 
 
 660. Guides of the country and spies are often necessary to the parti- 
 san. They are examined separately, and confronted if their accounts 
 differ. When »here is but one guide, he marches with the advanced 
 guard, guarded by two men, and bound if necessary. Peddlers and 
 smugglers are specially suitable for spies. 
 
 661. A fit time to attack a convoy is at a halt, or when they begin to 
 park, or when they are watering, passing a wood or a defile ; at a bend 
 of the^oad, a, bridge or steep ascent. 
 
 662. The attacking party may be principally cavalry, with some in- 
 fantry. The first object is to disperse the'escort. A part of the de- 
 tachment attacks the main body of the escort, another the wagons, and 
 a third is in reserve ; skirmishers line the road, and try to cut the 
 traces, and to. seize the front and rear wagons, and turn them across tho 
 road, to prevent the train from advancing or retreating." 
 
 663. If the convoy is parked, the cavalry surrounds it, assails the es- 
 cort, and tries to draw it away from the train. The infantry then en- 
 gage the troons remaining at the park, slip under the wagons, and get 
 into the park. When die cavalry is alone and the enemy are shaken, 
 they dismount a portion of the men to supply the want of infantry. 
 
 6G4. If it is a ] urge convoy, the principal attack is made on the cen- 
 tre ; the most valuable wagons are also selected and additional horses 
 nre put to them if the attack is successful. Those that cannot bo car- 
 ried off are burned. 
 
 665. The object of the movement and the nature of the ground deter, 
 mine the order of march, the kind of troops in each column, and the 
 number of columns. 
 
 666. The force is divided into as many columns as circumstances per- 
 mit, without weakening any one too muah. Thoy ouglit to preserve 
 
MARCRK& - 00 
 
 their communications, find bo within supporting distance of each other. 
 The commander of each column ought to know the strength and direc- 
 tion of the others. 
 
 067. The advance and rear guards are usually light troops'; their 
 Strength and composition depend mi the nature of the ground and the 
 position of the enemy. They serve to cover the movements of the 
 army, &nd to Uold the enemy in cheek until the General lias time to 
 make ln> arrangements. 
 
 668. Toe advance guard is not always at the head of a column ; in a 
 march ta u Hank, it takes such positions as cover the movement. "Sup- 
 pers are attached to the advanced guard if required, 
 
 669. The "general," sounded one hour before the time of marching, 
 is the signal to strike tents, to load the wagons, and pack horses, and 
 send them to the place of assembling. The tires are then put out, and 
 care taken to avoid burning straw, &C., or giving to the enemy any 
 other indication of the movement. 
 
 670. The " march" will he beat in the infantry, and tho " advance" 
 sounded in the cavalry, in succession, ns each is to take it* place in the 
 column. 
 
 671. When the army should form suddenly to meet the enemy, the 
 " long roll 1 ' is beat, and " to horse" sounded. The troops form rapidly 
 in front of their camp. 
 
 072. Batteries of artillery and their caissons move with the corps to 
 which they are attached ; the field train and ambulances march at the 
 rear of the column ; and the baggage with the rear guard. 
 
 073. Cavalry and infantry do not inarch together, unless the prox- 
 rhiity of the enemy makes it necessary. 
 
 074. In cavalry marches, when distant from the enemy, each regi- 
 ment, 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 cavairy may leave camp later, and 
 can give more rest to the horses, and more attention to the shoeing and 
 harness. Horses are not bridled until the time to start. 
 
 G75. When necessary, the orders specify the rations the men are to 
 carry in their haversacks. The field officers and Captains make inspec- 
 tions frequently during the march ; at halts they examine the knap- 
 sacks, valines and haversacks, and throw away all articles not author* 
 The officers and non-commissioned officers of cavalry companies 
 attend | ersonally to the packs and girths. 
 
 676. When it can be avoided, trotipfi Should not be assembled on high 
 roads or other places where they interrupt the communication. 
 
 i.77. Generals of Divisions and commanders of detached corps send :v 
 staff officer to the rendezvous in advance, to receive the troops, who, 
 on arriving, take their place in the order i f battle, and form in close 
 column, unless otherwise ordered. Artillery, or trams halted ob the 
 
 roads, form in file on one side. 
 
 iution <if marching orders must not be delayed. If tho 
 commander is not at the head of his troops when they are to march, tho 
 next in rank puts the column in motion. 
 
 679. It possible, each column is preceded by a detachment of sappers, 
 to remove obstacles to tho march, aided, when necessary, by infantry, 
 or tho pcoplo of the country. The detachment is divided into two sec- 
 
"0 MARCHES. 
 
 ti >ns : one stops to remove the first obstacle, the other moves on to the 
 next. . 
 
 680*. In night marches, and at bad places, and at cross-roads, when 
 necessary, intelligent non-commissioned officer's are posted to show the 
 way, "and are relieved by the regiments as they come up. 
 
 681. On the march, no one shall lire a gun, or cry " halt" or " march," 
 without orders. 
 
 682. Soldiers, are not to stop for water; the canteens should be tilled 
 before starting. 
 
 683 It is better to avoid villages ; but if the route lies through them, 
 officers and noncommissioned officers are to be vigilant to prevent 
 Straggling" Halts should not take place at villages. 
 
 684. Besides the rear guard, the General sometimes takes a detach- 
 ment from the last regiment, and adds to it non-commissioned officers 
 from each regiment, to examine villages and all hiding-places on the 
 route, to bring up stragglers and seize marauders. 
 
 685. In ni^ht marches, the Sergeant- Major of each regiment remains. 
 at the rear with a drummer, to give notice when darkness or difficulty 
 stops the march. In cavalry, a trumpet is placed in rear of each 
 sqtfadron, and the signal repeated to the head of the regiment. 
 
 686. The General and field officers frequently sfibp, or send officers to 
 the rear, to see that the troops march in the prescribed order, and keep 
 their distances. To quicken the march, the General warns the Colo- 
 nels, and may order a signal to be beat. It is repeated in all the regi- 
 ments. 
 
 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 or'der as possible. The leading regi- # 
 ment having passed., and left room enough for the whole column in 
 close order, then halts, and moves again as soon as the last regiment is 
 through, In the cavalry, each squadron, before quickening the pace to 
 rejoin the column, takes its original order of march. 
 
 688. When the distance from the enemy permits, each regiment, 
 after closing up in front and rear of the defile, stacks arms. 
 
 • 689: Halts to rest and re-form the troi ps are frequent during the 
 day, depending bn the object and length of the march. . They are mado 
 in preference after the passage of defiles. 
 
 690' No honors are paid by troops on the march or at halts. 
 
 681. The sick march with the wagons. 
 
 692. Led horses of officers, and the horses of dismounted men, follow 
 their regiment. The baggage wagons never march in the column. 
 When the General orders the field train and ambulances to take place 
 in the column^ he designates the position they shall take. 
 
 C93. If two corps meet on the same road, they p;tss to the right, and 
 both continue their march, if the road is wide enough ; if it is not, the 
 first in the order- of buttle takes the road, the other halts. 
 
 ■69-t. A corps in march must not be cut by another. If two corps 
 meet at cross roads, that which arrives last halts if the other is in mo- 
 tion. A corps in march passes a corps at a halt, if it has precedence 
 in the order of battle, or if the halted corps is not ready to move at 
 onee. 
 
 695. A column that halts to let another column pass resumes the 
 
BATTLES. 71 
 
 march in advance of the train of this column. If a column has to pass 
 a train, the train must halt, if necessary, till the column passes. Tho 
 
 column which has precedence must yield it if the commander, on seeing 
 the orders of the other, finds it for the interest of the service. 
 
 BATTLES. 
 
 006. Dispositions for battle depend on the number, kind, and quality 
 of the troops opposed, on the ground, and on the objects of the war; 
 but- the following rules are to be observed generally: 
 
 697i In attacking, the advanced guard endeavors to capture the eno- 
 mj's outposts, or cut them off from the main body, [laving done so, 
 or driven them in, it occupies, in advancing, all the points tffat can 
 cover or facilitate the march of the army or secure its retreat, such as 
 bridges, defiles, woods and heights ; it then makes attacks, to occupy 
 the enemy, without risking too much, and to deceive thenl as to the 
 march and projects of the army. 
 
 698. When the enemy is hidden by a curtain of advanced troops, tho 
 Commandant of the advanced guard sends scouts, under intelligent offi- 
 cers, to the right and left, to Ascertain h 6 position and movements. If 
 he does not succeed in this way, he tries to unmask the enemy by de- 
 monstrations ; threatens to cut the advance from the main body ; makes 
 false attacks ; partial and impetuous charges in echelon; and if all 
 fail, he makes a real attack to accomplish the object. 
 
 699". Detachments left by the advanced guard to hold points in tbo 
 rear, rejoin it when other troops come up. If the army takes a posi- 
 tion, and the advanced guard is separated from it by defiles or heights, 
 the communication is secured by troops drawn from the main body. 
 
 7U0. At proper distance from the enemy, the troops are formed for 
 
 the attack in several lines ; if only two can be formed, some battalions 
 
 in column are placed behind the wing- of the second line. The lines 
 
 may be formed of troops in column or in order of battle, according to 
 
 iund and plan of attack. 
 
 701. The advanced guard may be put in the line or on the wings, or 
 other position, to aid the pursuit or Outer the retreat. 
 
 702. The reserve is formed of the best' troops id' foot and horse, to 
 complete a victory or make good a retreat. It is placed in the rear of 
 
 itre, or chief point of attack or defence. 
 
 ilry should be distributed in echelon on tho wings and 
 
 tre, on favorable ground. 
 
 704 It should be instructed not to take the gallop until within 
 
 charging distance; never to receive a charge tit a bait, but to meet it, 
 
 orj if not strong enough, to retire manoeuvring ; and in order to bo 
 
 for the pursuit, and prepared against a_reverse, or the attacks of 
 
 the reserve, to • uadrdtos at once, but to reserve one 
 
 third, in column or fn abreast of or in the rear of one of tho 
 
 wings; this arrangement is better than a second line with intervals 
 
 705, In the attack, the artillery is employed to silence the batteries 
 that protect the po ition. In the defence, it is better to direct its firo 
 on the advancing troi ps. In eithex • i - are united as 
 possible, the fire of artillery being formidable in proportion to its con- 
 centration. 
 
 706. Iu battles and military operation* it in better to asoumo the

 offensive, and put the enemy on the defensive; but to bo safe in doing 
 ho requires a larger force than the enemy, or better troops, and favora- 
 ble ground. When obliged to act on the defensive, the advantage of 
 position and of making the attack ma}' sometimes be secured by form- 
 ing in rear of the ground on which wo are to fight, and advancing at 
 the moment of action. In mountain warfare, the assailant has always 
 tlie disadvantage ; and even in offensive warfare, in the open field, it 
 may frequently be very important, when tire artillery is well posted, 
 and any advantage of the ground may be secured, to await the enemy 
 and compel him to attack. 
 
 707. The attack should be made with a superior force on the defen- 
 sive point of the enemy's position, by masking this by false attacks and 
 demonstrations on other points, and by concealing the troops intended 
 for it by the ground or by other troops in the front. 
 
 708. Besides the arrangements which depend on the supposed plan 
 of the enemy, the wings must be protected by the ground, or supported 
 by, troops in echelon ; if the attack of the enemy is repulsed, the offen; 
 sive must at once be taken, to inspire the troops, to disconcert the ene- 
 my, and often to decide the action. In thus taking the offensive, a 
 close column should be pushed rapidly on the wing or flank of the en- 
 emy. The divisions of this column form in the line of battle succes- 
 sively, and each division moves to the front as soon as formed, in order, 
 by a rapid attack in echelon, to prevent the erremy from changing front 
 or bringing up his reserves. In all arrangements, especially in thoso 
 for attacks, it is most important to conceal the design until the moment 
 of execution, and then to execute it with the greatest rapidity. The 
 night, therefore, is preferred for the movement of troops on the flank 
 or rear of the enemy, otherwise it is necessary to mask their march by 
 a grand movement in front, or by taking a wide circuit. 
 
 709. In making an attack, the communications to the rear and for re- 
 treat must be secured, and the General must give beforehand all neces- 
 sary orders to provide for that event. 
 
 710. When a success is gained, the light troops sho.uld pursue the 
 enemy^promptly and rapidly. The other troops will restore order in 
 their columns, then advance from position to position, always prepared 
 for an attack or to support the troops engaged. 
 
 711. Before the action, the Generals indicate the places where they 
 will be ; if they change position, they give notice of rt, or leave a staff 
 officer to show where they have gone. 
 
 712. During the fight the jofficers and non-commissioned officers keep 
 4he men in the ranks, and enforce obedience, if necessary.- Soldiers 
 must not be permitted to leave the ranks to strip or rob the dead, nor 
 to assist the wounded, unless by express permission, which is only to 
 be given after the action is decided. The highest interest and duty is 
 to win the victory, which only can insure proper care of the wounded. 
 
 713. Before the action, the Quartermaster of the division makes all 
 the necessary arrangements for the transportation of the wounded. He 
 establishes the ambulance depots in the rear, and gives his assistants 
 the necessary instruction for the service of the ambulance wagons and 
 other means of removing the wounded. 
 
 714. The ambulance depot to which the wounded are carried or di- 
 rected for immediate treatment, is generally .established at the most 
 
BATTLES — PRISONERS OP WAR. 73 
 
 <%->nvenient hoi-lding nearest the. field of battle. A red fag marks its 
 place, or the way to it, to tlio conductors of the ambulances and to the 
 wounded who can walk. 
 
 715. The active ambulanoes follow the troops engaged to succor the 
 Wounded and remove them to the depots; for this purpose the conduc- 
 tors should always have the neeossary assistants, that the soldiers may 
 have no excuse to leave the ranks for that ohject. 
 
 716. .The medical director of the division, after consultation with the 
 Quartermaster General, distributes the medical officers and hospital 
 attendants at his disposal, to the depots ami active ambulances, lie 
 will send offi.-ers and attendants when practicable., to the active ambu- 
 lances, to relieve the wounded who require treatment before being re- 
 move.! from the ground. He will see that the depots and ambulances 
 are provided with the necessary apparatus, medicines and stores. He 
 will take post and render'his professional services at the principal 
 depots. 
 
 717. If the enemy endanger the depot, the Quartermaster takes the 
 ordo s of the General to remove it or strengthen its guard. 
 
 718. The wounded in the depots and the sick are removed as soon as 
 possible to the hospitals that have been established by the Quartermas- 
 ter General of the army on the flanks or rear of the army. 
 
 719. After an action, the officers on ordnance duty collect the muni- 
 tions of war left on the field, ami make a return of them to the General. 
 The Quartermaster's Department collects the rest of the public property, 
 captured, and makes the returns to headquarters. 
 
 720. Written reports for the General commanding-in chief are made 
 by commandants of regiments, batteries, and separate squadrons, and 
 by all commanders of a higher grade, each in what coucerns his own 
 command; and to his immediate commander. 
 
 7 2 L . When an officer or soldier deserves mention for conduct in ac- 
 tion, a special report shall be made in iiis ease, and the General com- 
 Bianding-in-chief decides whether to mention him in his report to the 
 government and in his orders.' But he shall not be mentioned in the 
 report until he has Keen mentioned in the orders to the array. These 
 special reports are examined with care by the intermediate command- 
 ers, to verify the facts, and secure commendation and rewards to the 
 meritorious only. 
 
 722. The report of battles, which must frequently be made before 
 these special reports of persons are scrutinized, is confined to general 
 praise or blame, and nn account of the operations. 
 
 PRISONERS OF WAR. 
 
 723. Prisoners of wnr will be disarmed and sent to the rear, and re- 
 ported as soon as practicable to the headquarters. The return of pri- 
 soners from the headquarters of the Army to the War Department 
 will specify the number, rank, and corps. 
 
 • 724. The private property of prisoners will be duly respected, and 
 each shall be treated with the regard due \f his rank. They are to 
 obey the necessary orders given them. They receive for subsistence 
 one ration each, without regard to rank; and the wouuded are to be 
 treated with the same oare as the wounded of the army. Other allow-

|4 CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORTS. 
 
 ancea to them will "depend on. conventions with the enemy. Prisoner's 
 horses will be taken for the army. 
 
 725. Exchanges of prisoners and release of officers on parole depend 
 en the orders of the General commanding-in-chief, under the instruc- 
 tions of government. 
 
 CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORTS. 
 
 726. The strength and composition of the escort -of a convoy depend 
 on the country, the nature and value of the convoy, and the dangers it 
 may incur. A large escort is required for a convoy of powder, that- 
 the defence may not be near the train. . _ v 
 
 727. Cavalry is employed in escorts chiefly to reconnoitre; the pro- 
 portion is larger as the country is more open. 
 
 728. Pioneers or working parties are attached to convoys to mend 
 roads, remove obstacles, and erect defences. The convoys should always 
 be provided with spare wheels, poles, axles, &c. 
 
 729. The commandant of the escort should receive detailed instruc- 
 tions in writing. 
 
 730. As far as the defence permits, the commander of the escort 
 shall refer to the offirer in charge of the convoy for the hours of depar- 
 ture, the halts, the parking and order of the train, and the precautions 
 against accidents. 
 
 731. Officers who accompany the convoy, but do not belong to the es- 
 cort, shall exercise no authority in it except by consent of the comman- 
 der. If these officers are junior to the commander, he may assign them 
 to duty if the defence requires it. 
 
 732. Large convoys are formed into divisions, each with a conductor. 
 The distance between the wagons is four paces. A small party of in- 
 fantry is attached to each division. 
 
 733. Generally, munitions of war are at the head of the convoy, sub- 
 sistence next,- and then other military stores ; the sutler last. But al- 
 ways that part of the convoy whjch is most important to the army shall 
 be where it is most secure from danger. 
 
 7'i4. The commandant should send out fcconnoitering parties, and 
 never put the convey in motion until their reports have been received. 
 He always forms an advance and rear guard, and keeps the main body 
 under his immediate order at the most important point, with small 
 guards or posts at other points. 
 
 735. In an open country the main body marches by the side of the 
 road, opposite the centre of the envoy; in other cases at the head or 
 rear of the column, as the one or the other is more exposed. 
 
 736. The advance guard precedes the convoy far enough to remove 
 all obstacles to its advance. It examines the woods, defiles, and villa- 
 ges, and by mounted men gives information to the commander, and re- 
 ceives his orders. It reconnoiters places for halts and parks. 
 
 737. If the head of the column is threatened, the advanced guard 
 seizes the defiles and places which the enemy might occupy, and holds 
 them until the main body advances to the front and relieves it; the 
 main body holds the positions until the head of the convoy arrives, and 
 then leaves detachments, which are relieved by the parties marching 
 with the divisions; the posts are not abandoned until the. whole convoy 
 has passed and the position is no longer important. 
 
conVoth and their escorts. 76 
 
 Ite. When tho rear is threatened, like measures are taken ; the rear 
 guard defends tho grounds and retards the enemy by breaking tho 
 bridges and blocking the road. 
 
 7d0. If the flank- arc threatened, and the ground is broken, and 
 many defiles are to be passe i. the defence uf the convoy becomes more 
 difficult; the ad ran oo and rear guards must he reduced, the tlmks 
 Strengthened, and positions which will cover the inarch of tiie 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 ajid has to pass places that the force and 
 position of the enemy make dangerous,- the loss of the whole convoy 
 must not be risked; it must pass by divisions, which reunite after tho 
 passage. In this ease tho greater part of the troops guard the first di- 
 vision ; they seize tho important points, and covor thotn with light 
 troops, or, if necessary, with small posts, and hold them until all the 
 divisions have passed. 
 
 7-11. If there is artillery ia the convoy, the commander of the escort 
 uses it for tho defence. 
 
 742. To move faster and make the defence easier, the wagons move 
 in double file whenever the road allows it. If a wagon breaks, it is at 
 onoe removed from tho road ; when repaired, it takes the rear'; when it 
 cannot be repaired, its load and horses are distributed to some of the 
 other wagons kept in the rear for that purpose, 
 
 713. Convoys by water aro escorted on the same principles. Each 
 boat lias a small infantry guard ; one portion of the escort precedes or 
 foil >'.vs the convoy in boats. The cavalry march opposite the coi:voy; 
 the advance and rear guard move by land, and all are connected by 
 flankers with the convoy. Where a river runs through a narrow valley, 
 tho body of the infantry moves by laud to prevent the enemy from oc- 
 cupying the heights and disturbing I he convoy. 
 
 74 1. Convoys halt every hour to let the horses take breath and the 
 
 is close up. Lmg halts are made but seldom, and only in places 
 
 that have been reconnoitered and found favorable for defence. At night 
 
 the p irk is arranged for defence, and in preference at a distance from 
 
 inhabited places, if in an enemy's country. 
 
 745. The wagons are usually parked in ranks, axlo against axle, the 
 poles in the same direction, and with sufficient space between the ranks 
 for the horses. It an attack is feared, they are parked in square, tho 
 hin 1 wheels outside, and the horses inside. 
 
 740 O.i the appearance of the enemy during the march, the CQm- 
 mauder closes up the wagons and continues his march in order; he 
 avoids fighting ; but if the enemy seizes a p mition that commands his 
 road, heattaoks vigorously with the mass of his force, but is not to con- 
 tinue tho pursuit far from* the cmvoy. The convoy halts, and resumes 
 tho march when t lie position is carried. 
 
 747. When the enemy is too strong to be attacked, the convoy is 
 parkeOTn square if .there is room ; if not closed up in double hie; at 
 the front and rear the road is blocked by wagons across it. The drivers 
 are dism mute 1 at the heads of the horses. They are not permitted to 
 m ike their pscape. The light troops keep the enemy at a distance as 
 long as possible, and are supported when necessary, but prudeutly, as 
 the'troops must be kept in hand to resist the main attack. 
 
Jt> BAGGAGE TRAIJfS. 
 
 748. If a wagon takes fire in the park, remove it if possible; if not, 
 remove first the ammunition wagons, then those to leeward of the fire. 
 
 749. When a whole convoy can not be saved, the most valuable part 
 may sometimes be by abandoning the rest. If all efforts fail, ami there 
 is no hope of succor, the convoy must be set on lire ami the hordes 
 kilted that cannot be saved ; the escort may then cut its way through. 
 
 750. If the convoy is of prisoners of war, every effort should he made 
 to reach a village or strong building where they may be coiftined ; if 
 forced to fight in the field, the prisoners must he secured and made to lie 
 down until the action is over. 
 
 BAGGAGE TRAINS. 
 
 751. The baggage train of general headquarters and the trains of the 
 several divisions are each under the charge of an officer of the Quarter- 
 master's Department. These officers command and conduct the trains 
 under the orders thej receive from their respective headquarters. "When 
 the trains of different divisions march together, or the train of a division 
 marches with the train of general headquarters, the senior Quartermas- 
 ter directs the whole. 
 
 752. The regimental Quartermaster has charge of the wagons, horses,' 
 equipments, and all means of transport employed in the service of the 
 regiment. Under the orders of the Colonel, he assembles them for the 
 march, and maintains the order and police •of the train in park on the' 
 march. On marches, the regimental trains are under the orders of the 
 Quartermaster of the division. When the march is by brigade, the 
 senior Regimental Quartermaster in the brigade, or the Quartermaster 
 of the brigade has the direction of the whole. -The necessary wagon- 
 masters, or non-commissioned officers to act as such, are employed with 
 the several trains. 
 
 753. None but the authorized wagons are allowed to march with the 
 train. The wagons of the several headquarters, the regimental wagons, 
 and the wagons of sutlers au horized by orders from headquarters to 
 -march with the train, are all to be conspicuously marked. 
 
 754. When the train of headquarters is to have a guard, the strength 
 of the guard is regulated by the General. Generals of Brigade guard 
 their trains by the men attached to the train of the first regiment of 
 their brigades. The regimental trains are loaded, unloaded, »; i id guard- 
 ed, as far as practicable, by convalescents and men not effective in the 
 ranks ; in the cavalry, by dismounted men. When the guard of a train 
 is the escort for its defence, tho regulations in regard to convoys and 
 escorts take effect. 
 
 755. Habitually each division is followed by its train, the regimental 
 trains, uniting at the brigade rendezvous! When otherwise, the order 
 for the movement of the divisions, brigades, and regiments contains tho 
 •necessary directions in regard to the assembling and marching of the 
 respective trains. The several trains march in an order analogous to 
 the rank o'f the generals, and the order of battle of the troops tcTwhicb 
 they belong. Trains are not allowed in any case to be in the midst of 
 the troop-, or to impede the march of the troops. 
 
 75G. The wagon-masters, under the order's of the officers of the Quar- 
 termaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints over the 
 teamsters and servants who leave their teams, or do not properly con-

 duct them ; cr who ill-treat thjir horses, or who attempt to pillage, or 
 run nvray in case of attack. 
 
 757. The General oomraandingthe army and the Generals bi Division 
 will not permit any general or Btaff officer, o; regiment under theiror- 
 dcrs, or any person whatsoever, attached to their command, to have 
 mors than the authorized amount or means of transportation. For this 
 purpose they will themselves make, and cause to be made, frequent le- 
 views and inspections of the trains. They will see that no trooper is 
 employed to lead a private horse, no soldier to drive a private vehicle, 
 and that no trooper is put on foot to lend his horse to an officer. They 
 will not permit the wagons of the^ artillery or of the train to be loaded 
 with anything foreign to their proper service, nor any public horse, for 
 any occasion, to lie harnessed to a private carriage. 
 
 758. The officers of the Quartermaster's Department, the wagon mas- 
 ters, and all conductors of trains, are charged with watching that the 
 regulations respecting transportation allowances are strictly observed. 
 
 GENERAL I'OLICK. • 
 
 759. "When necessaiy, the General-in-chief or General of Division 
 may appoint a provost marshal to take charge of prisoner** with a suit- 
 able guard, or other police force. 
 
 760. Private servants, not soldiers, will not be allowed to wear the 
 uniform of any corps of the army; but each will be required to carry 
 with him a certificate 1 from the officer who employs him, verified, for 
 regimental officers, by the signature of the Colonel;, for other officers 
 under the rank of Colonel, by the chief of their corps or department. 
 
 TGI. Laundresses permitted to follow the army will be furnished with 
 certificates, signed as in the preceding paragraph, and no woman of bad 
 character will be allowed to follow the army. Other persons with the 
 army, not officers or soldiers, such as guides of the country, interpre- 
 ters, <tc, will carry about them similar certificates from the head quar- 
 ters that employs them. 
 
 762. Deserters from the e.iemy,, after being examined, will be se- 
 cured for some days, as they may be spies in disguise ; as opportunities 
 offer t they will be sent to the rear; after which, if they are found lurk- 
 ipg about the army, or attempting to return to the enemy, they will bo 
 treated with severity. 
 
 7G3. The arms aqcr accoutrements of deserters will be turned over to 
 the Ordnance' Department, and their horses to corps in want of them, 
 after being bran led with the letters " C. S." Tho compensation to ho 
 accorded to deserters, for such objects, will be according to appraisement, 
 made under the direction of the Quartermaster's Department. The en- 
 listment of deserters, without express permission from General bead- 
 quarters, is ) rohibited. 
 
 764. It is it<r bidden to purchase horses without ascertaining the right 
 of the parte to sell. Stolen horses are- to bo restored. L'strays, in tho

 mit of no remission of the awful punishment which the military' law 
 awards against offences of this nature. 
 
 SAFEGUARDS. 
 
 766. Safeguards are protections granted to persons or property in 
 foreign parts by the commanding genera), or by other commanders 
 within the limits of their command. 
 
 767. Safeguards are usually given to protect hospitals, public estab- 
 lishments, establishments of religion, charity, or instruction, museums, 
 depositories of the arts, mills, post-offices, and other institutions of pub- 
 lic benefit ; also to individuals whorruit may be the interest of the army 
 to respect. 
 
 768. A safeguard may consist of one or more men of fidelity and 
 firmness, generally noneffective non-commissioned < flkers, furnished 
 with a paper setting out clearly the protection and exemptions it is in- 
 tended to secure, signed by the commander giving it, and his staff of- 
 ficer ; or it may consist of such paper, delivered to the parly whose per- 
 son, family, house and property it is designed to protect. These safe- 
 guards must be numbered and registered. 
 
 769. The men left as safeguards by one corps may be replaced by 
 another. They are withdrawn when the country is evacuated ; but if 
 not, they have orders to await the arrival of the enemy's troops, and 
 apply to the commander for a safe-conduct to the outposts.

 SIEGES. 
 
 771. In the following regulations the besieging force is supposed to 
 be two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. The same prin- 
 ciples govern in«other cases. 
 
 772. The Brigadier-Generals of infantry serve, in turn, as Generals 
 of the trenches ; one or more of them are detailed daHy, according to 
 the front and number cf attacks ; they superintend the operations, aid 
 dispose the guards .of the trenches to repulse .sorties and protect the 
 works. Officers of the general staff are assigned to them to transmit 
 their orders and attend to the details of service. 
 
siloes. 79 
 
 773. The* Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels of infantry alternate for 
 duty in the trenches ; one or more are detailed daily ; they superintend 
 the service of the guards and workmen in the part of the work to 
 which the general of the trenches assign them, being posted with troops 
 of their own regiments in preference. The commandant of the siege 
 may place the Colonels on the roster with the Brigadier-Generals. 
 
 774. The commandant of engineers and artillery accompany the 
 first troops before the place to examine the works ai.d the approaches. 
 "When the engineers have completed the rcconnoisance of the works, 
 and of each front as far as practicable, the commandant of engineers 
 makes a plan of the works as exact and detailed as possible, and under 
 the instructions of the General commanding the siege, draws up the 
 general plan of the siege, and discusses it with the commandant of ar- 
 tillery in regard to the best employment of that arm. These officers 
 then submit their joint or separate opinions to the General who decides 
 on the plan of the siege, and give the orders for the execution. The 
 commandant of engineers directs the construction of all the works of 
 the siege, under the authority of theGeneral, and lays before him every 
 day a report of his operations, and a plan showing the progress of the 
 attack. The commandant of artillery also makes daily reports to the 
 General of all that relates to his branch of the service. 
 
 775. The Quartermaster-General establishes the hospitals, and or- 
 ganizes the means for transporting the wounded to them. 
 
 776. The commanding General appoints a field officer of the trenches, 
 who is aided by one or two Captains or Lieutenants. 
 
 777. The field officer of the trenches is charged with all the details 
 relative to the assembling of the guards and the workmen. He distri- 
 butes the guards on the different points of the attack agreeably to the 
 orders of the General of the trenches, and forms the detachment of 
 workmen for the engineers and artillery ; that he may be prepared for 
 this distribution, he receives every day from the Adjutant General a 
 statement of the details for the next day. 
 
 778. On the arrival of the General of the. trenches, the field officer of 
 the trenches gives him all the information necessary to enable him to 
 station the troops, attends him in his visit to the trenches, and takes 
 his orders on the changes to make in the position of the troops. Tho 
 execution is intrusted to the commandants of the troops. 
 
 779. The field officer of the trenches sees that men and litters are 
 always ready to bring off the wounded. One or more companies of the 
 guards of the trenches are put under his immediate orders fur tho pre- 
 servation of older and police in the trenches. 
 
 780. Thedivi-i ms, brigades, regiments, and battalions, are encamped 
 during the siege in the order of bailie. The service of camp is con- 
 ducted a- heretofore prescribed. 
 
 781. The infantry bus two kind of siege service — the. guard of the 
 trenches and the work of the trenches. 
 
 7 S "_'. T S guards of 'he trenches mount every day by battalions, in 
 such oriier of detail that all the troop* may take an equal share, end 
 nu part of the line lie left too weak. II only one battalion is required, 
 each division furnishes it alternately ; if two are required, each divi- 
 sion gives one ; if three, on* 1 division furnishes two, the other one, al- 
 
80 SiEOES. 
 
 ternately. The two battalions of the same divisions are not taken from 
 the same brigade. 
 
 783. The detail for work of the trenches is by company, from all the 
 regiments at one time, or in turn, and continues generally twelve hours. 
 The detail from, any regiment sh.ould never be less than a company. If 
 only half a company would be needed from all the regiments at a time, 
 every cither regiment furnishes a full company alternately. 
 
 784. The battalions fop- guard are detailed at least twelve hours in 
 advance ; they furnish no other details during this tour.^ If the whole 
 regiment is called out, it leaves a sufficient police guard in camp. 
 
 785. Twenty-four hours, or twelve at least, before mounting guard in 
 the trenches, the battalions detailed for guard do not furnish workmen; 
 and the companies of these battalions whose tour it would have been 
 to work in the trenches do not go there for twenty-four hours after 
 guard, if possible, or at the least twelve. 
 
 786. The workmen. who are required for other work than that of the 
 treuches, are taken from the roster for fatigue from the battalions and 
 companies not employed in the trenches. 
 
 787. The battalions first for detail for guard of the trenches) and the 
 companies first for detail for work in the trenches, furnish no. other de- 
 tails, and are held on picket, ready to march at the call of the field offi- 
 cer of the trenches. 
 
 788. Materials for the siege, such as fascines, gabionR, hurdles, pick- 
 ets, &c, are furnished by the different corps, in the proportion ordered 
 by the General. 
 
 789. Guards and workmen going to the trenches, march without beat 
 of drum or music. 
 
 790. At all times, and especially on the day the trenches are open'ed, 
 everything is avoided likely to attract the attention of the enemy. With 
 this view, the General may vary the hour of relieving guards. 
 
 791. The chiefs of engineers, and artillery make requisitions for 
 workmen in advance, that the details 'may be made in time to prevent 
 any delay in the work. They should exceed the number strictly re- 
 quired, that there m;iy be a reserve for unforeseen wants. If this re- 
 serve is found insufficient, the General directs the field officer of the 
 trenches to call on the picket. 
 
 792. Before the guards and workmen march, the field officer of the 
 trenches arranges them so that each detachment can reach its ground 
 without confusion. The troops are posted in the trenches according to 
 the position of their regiments in the order of battle, and, as far as 
 possible, the companies of workmen in like order. The reserves of 
 workmen are placed at the depot of the trenches, or the nearest suita- 
 ble place to the works. 
 
 793. The workmen leave their knapsacks and swords in camp, and 
 march with their tire-arms and cartridge-boxes, which they place mar 
 them while at work. They always carry their overcoats, to cover them 
 in resting or when wounded. 
 
 794. The guards always enter the trenches with arms trailed, and 
 the wo > kmen also, unless they carry materials or tools, when the anus 
 are in the sling. 
 
 795. The guards and detachments of workmen send a Corporal to the 
 
SfEGES. 81 
 
 openings of tbe trenches to guide the relief. They march out of the 
 trenches hy the flunk, with trailed arms. 
 
 TOG. Sand-bags, forming loop-holes, are placed at interval? on the 
 parapet to protect the sentinels ; they are mure numerous than the sen- 
 tinels, so t hat l tie enemy may not know where the sentinels are placed. 
 
 797. When detachments are placed at night in advance of the 
 trenches to cover ihe workmen, the men 6it or lie down, wi.h their 
 firearms in their hands, to hide themselves better from the enemy; 
 the sentinels put their ears to the ground frequently, that they may 
 hear troops coming out of the place. To prevent mistakes, the work- 
 men are told what troops cover them. 
 
 708, No honors-are paid in the trenches. When the General com- 
 manding the siegr-. visits them, the guards place themselves in rear of 
 the banquette, and rest on their arms. The colors are never carried 
 to tbe trenches unless the whole regiment marches to repulse ;i sortie 
 or make an assault. Even in this case, they are not displayed until tbe 
 General commanding the srege gives a formal order. 
 
 709. The materials of the siege of all kinds, together with the tools, 
 are collected in part at the depots of the trenches, and in part at the 
 opening of the trenches, or in such other place as has been appointed 
 for the convenience of the service by the field officers of the trenches, on 
 the advice of the chiefs of artillery and engineers. They are in charge 
 of oncers of engineers and artillery, with guards or non-commissioned 
 officers of both corps. But if these corps cannot furnish them, the 
 chiefs apply for assistance from the infantry. 
 
 800. The workmen, in going to the trehches, carry such tools and 
 materials as are required by the artillery and engineers. In- this case, 
 the field officer of the trenches has notice and .-uperintends it. 
 
 801* The soldiers sent to the trenches go with their cartridge-boxes 
 filled. Cartridges, when needed, are sent to the trenches on" the re- 
 quisition of commanders of battalions, approved by the General of 
 tbe trenches. 
 
 802. In" the case of a softie, the guards move rapidly to tbe prtae.es 
 that have been designated by tbe General of the trenches, and which 
 affords the best defence for the head of the works, the batteries, the com- 
 munications, or the Hanks, or best enable them to take the sortie itself 
 in Hank or reverse. Having lined the banquette to fire on the enemy, 
 the troops form on the reverse of the trench to receive him. Tie work- 
 men take arms, retain their positions, or retire with their tools, as or- 
 dered. The officers commanding the detachments of workmen see that 
 their movements are made promptly and in good order, so as to avoid 
 all confusion in the communications. 
 
 . The troops that advance beyond the trenches to repulse tho 
 sortie, must not follow in pursuit The General takes care that they 
 return to tbe trenches before the retreat of the sortie allows t he artil- 
 lci\ uf the place to open on truyn. When the workmen return, tho 
 officers and non commissioned officers of the detachments call the roll 
 without interrupting the work, which is immediately resumed. 
 
 804, When il is necewary t.> dismount cavalry and send them to the 
 trenches, they should be employed as near their cunip as possible, and 
 posted between the detachments of infantry. 
 
82 yoHTirrED plages. 
 
 805. Men belonging to the cavalry may, in assaults, be employed in 
 carrying fascines and other materials to fill ditches and make passages. 
 
 806. The general officers of cavalry are more particularly employed 
 in the service of posts ajid detachments placed in observation to protect 
 the siege. Tliey and the field officers of. this arm are employed in the 
 command of escorts to convoys, of whatever .arms the escorts may bo 
 com posed. When these duties are not sufficient to employ them, they 
 take their share of the duty of the trenches. * 
 
 807. The officers of engineers and artillory of the trenches make to 
 the General of the trenches a return of all losses in their troops, and 
 such other reports on the work as he requires, in addition to the reports 
 direct to their respective chiefs on the details of the service. 
 
 808. At the end of each tour, the field ofrcer of tlfe trenches draws 
 up a report for the twenty-four hours to the General of trhe trenches. 
 The General of tho trenches reports to the General commanding the 
 siege. 
 
 809. The commanders 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 an J men. 
 
 810. However practicable the breach may appear, or however ruined 
 the work in rear of it, the heads of columns must always be supplied 
 with ladders to get over unexpected obstacles. 
 
 811. The General commanding the siege designates picked compa- 
 nies to protect property and persons, and prevent pillage and violence, 
 from the moment the place is carried. The officers exert themselves to 
 restrain the men. 
 
 812. The General designates the places requiring particular protec- 
 tion, such as churches, asylums, hospitals, colleges, schools and maga- 
 zines. The order of the ; r protection should remind the soldiers, at the 
 time, of the penalty of disobeying it. 
 
 813. Whether the place be tnken by assault or by capitulation, the 
 provisions and the military scores, and the public funds, are reserved 
 for the use of the army. 
 
 814. The commander of engineers will keep a journal of the siege, 
 showing the operations of. each day in detail, the force employed on the. 
 work, the kind and quantity of materials used in them, &c. lie will 
 also mark on a plan of the ground the daily progress of the -works, and 
 make the necessary drawings explanatory of their construction. 
 
 815. The commander of the artillery will keep a daily journal of tho 
 operations under his direction, showing the'number and kind of pieces 
 in battery, the force employed in serving them, the kind and quantity 
 of ammunition expended, the number of rounds tired from each piece 
 of ordnance, the effect 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 OF FOKTl'FIED PLACES. 
 
 817*. Tn war, every commander of 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 according' to the probable mode of at- 
 tack ; determines tho posts of the troops in the several parts of the 
 
FORTIFIED TLAQES. 83 
 
 works, the reliefs, the reserves, and the details »of service in nil the 
 corps. He draws up instructions fur a case of attack, and exercises the 
 garrison according to his plan of defence. In sea-coast works he pro- 
 vides the instructions for t tie different batteries on the approach of 
 ship-. 
 
 818. In framing his plan, he studies the works and the exterior with- 
 in the radius of attack and investment, the strength of the garrison, the 
 artillery, the munitions of war, subsistence and supplies of all kinds, 
 and takes immediate measures to procure whatever is deficient of troops 
 or supplies, either by requisition on the Government, or from the means 
 put at his disposal. 
 
 819. On the approach of an enemy, he removes all houses and other 
 objects, within or without the place, that cover the approaches, or in- 
 terrupt the fire of the guns *>r the movements of the troops. lie as- 
 sures himself personally that all posterns, outlets, or embrasures, &c., 
 are in proper state of security. 
 
 82u. He shall be furnished by the Department of War with a plan of 
 the works, showing all the "details of the fortifications and of the exte- 
 rior within the radius of attack ; with a map of the environs within the 
 radius of investment r with a map of the vicinity, including the neigh- 
 boring works, roads, water channels, coasts, &c. ; with a memoir ex- 
 plaining the situation and defence of the place, and the relations and 
 bearings of the several wofks on each other, and on the approaches by 
 land and water — all which he ca-rcfully preserves, and communicate^ 
 only to the council of defence. 
 
 821. He consults his next in rank, and the senior officer of the engi- 
 neers and of the artillery, either separately, or as a council of defence. 
 In the latter case, he designates an officer to act as secretary to the 
 
 council, and to record their proceedings and their joint or separate 
 opinions, which are to be kept secret during the siege. The members 
 may record their opinions under their own signature. In all cases, the 
 commander decides on his own responsibility. 
 
 822. The commander of the place, and the chiefs of engineers and of 
 artillery, shall keep journals of the defence, in which shall be entered, 
 in order of dnte, without blank or interlineation, the orders given or 
 received, the manner in which they are executed, their results, and 
 every event and circumstance of importance in the progress of the de- 
 fence. These journals, 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 place, 
 to be sent after the siege to the Department of War, a map of the envi- 
 rons, a plan of the fortifications, and a special plan of the front of at- 
 tack, on which the chief engineer will trace, in succession, the positions 
 occupied, and the works executed by the enemy from the investment; 
 and also the works of counter approach of defence v and the successive 
 positions of the artillery and other troops of the garrison during the 
 progress of the siege. 
 
 824. The commander shall defend in succession the advanced works, 
 the covered way and outworks, the body of the work, and the interior 
 entrenchments. He will not be content with clearing away the foot of 
 the breaches, and defending them by abattis, mines, and all the means 
 used in sieges ; but he shall begin in good time, behind the bastions or

 front of attack, the rlecessary entrenchments tp resist assaults on the 
 main w ork. 
 
 825. He shall use his means of defence in such manner as always to 
 have a reserve of fresh troops, chosen from his best soldiers, to resist 
 assaults, re-take the outworks, and especially to resist assaults on the 
 body of the place ; and a reserve of provisions for the last period of the 
 siege, and of ammunition for the last attacks. 
 
 826: He must, in every case, compel the besieging force to approach 
 by the slow and successive-' works of siege, and must sustain at least 
 one assault on a practicable breach in the body of" the place. 
 
 827. When the commander thinks that" the end of the defence has 
 come," lie shall still consult the council of defence on the means that 
 .may renain to prolong the siege. But in all cases he alone will decide 
 on the time, manner, and terms of the surrender. In the capitulation, 
 he shall not seek or accept better terms for himself than for the garri- 
 son, but shall share their fate, and exert his best endeavors for the care 
 of the troops, and especially of the sick and wounded. 
 
 828. No commander in the field shall withdraw troops or supplies from 
 any fortified place, or exercise any authority over its commandant, un- 
 less it has been put subject to his orders by competent authority.

 made in them for the health and comfort of the troops. 
 
 830. If, in the opinion of the officer commanding the troops to be em- 
 barked, the vessel is not proper or suitably arranged, the officer charged 
 with the embarkation shall cause her to be inspected by competent and 
 experienced persons. 
 
 831. Immediately after embarking, the men will be assigned to quar- 
 ters, equal parties on both sides of the ship, and no man will be al- 
 lowed to loiter or sleep on the opposite side. As far as practicable, the 
 men of each company will be assigned to the same part of the vessel, 
 and the squads, in the same manner, to contiguous berths. 
 
 832. Arms will be so placed, if there be no racks, as to be secure from 
 injury, and enable the men to handle them promptly ; bayonets unfixed 
 and in scabbard. 
 
 833. Ammunition in cartridge-boxes to be so placed as to be entirely 
 secure from fire ; reserve ammunition to be reported to the. master of

 of liis duty. 
 
 837. Regulations will be adopted to enable companies or messes to 
 conk in turn ; no others than those whose turn it is will be allowed to

 with the master of the vessel, for calling the troops to quarters, so that 
 in case of alarm, hy storm, or tire, or the approach of the enemy, every 
 
 'man may repair promptly to his station. But he will take care not to 
 crowd the deck. The troops not wanted at the guns, or to assist the

 only when the weather is tine." The boards of the lower berths will be 
 removed once or twice a week to change the straw. Under the direc- 
 tion of the Surgeon and the officer of the day, frequent fumigations will 
 be performed between decks. The materials required are — common 
 s:ilt, four ounces; powdered oxide of manganese, one ouno n ; sulphuric 
 acid, one ounce, diluted with two ounces of water. The diluted* acid is 
 poured over (be other ingrediepts in a basin placed in q hot sand bath. 
 Solutions of chloride of lime and chloride of zinc are excellent disin- 
 fecting agents. 
 
 843. During voyages in hot weather,' the master of the vessel will be 
 desired to provide wind sails, which will be kept constantly hung up, 
 nnd frequently examined, to sec that they draw well and are not ob- 
 structed. 
 
 844. During cooking hours, the officers of companies visit the ca-" 
 . and see that the messes are well prepared. The coppers and 
 
 other oooking utensils are to be regularly and well washed, ooth before 
 and after n-p. 
 
 The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, or at an 
 earlier hour when there is a prospect of bad weather; and at tattoo

 84?<. The men will not lie allowed to 6leep on deck in hot weather or 
 in the sun ; they will be encouraged and required to take exercise on 
 deck, in squads by succession; when necessary. 
 
 849. At morning and evening parades, the Surgpon will examine the 
 men, to observe whether there be any appearance of disease. 
 
 850. The.sick will, as far as practicable, be separated from the 
 he:iltby men. On the first appearance of malignant contagion, a signal 
 will lie made for the hospital vessel, (if there be one in company,) and 
 the diseased men removed to her. ' 
 
 851. A good supply of hospital stores and medicines will be taken on 
 each vessel, and used only for the sick and convalescent. 
 
 852. The Surgeon will guard the men against costiveness on ap- 
 proaching a hot climate. In passing through the West Indies to the 
 Soufhern coast, for instance, and for some weeks after landing in those 
 latitudes, great care is required in "the use of fruit, as strangers would 
 not he competent to judge of it, and most kinds, after long voyages, are 
 prejudicial. 
 
 ■ 853. In harbor, where there is no danger from sharks, the men may 
 bathe; but not more than ten at a time, and attended by a boat. 
 „ 854. In fitting up a vessel for the transportation of horses, care is to 
 be taken that the requisite arrangements are made for conveniently • 
 feeding and cleaning them, and to secure them from injury in rough 
 weather by ropes attached to breast-straps and breeching, or by other 
 suitable means ; and especially that proptr ventilation is provided by 
 openings in the upper deck, wind-sails, &c, The ventilation of steam- 
 ers may be assisted by using the engine for that purpose. 
 
 855. Horses should not be put on board after severe exercise, or when 
 heated. In hoisting them on board, th'e slings should be made fast to 
 a hook at the end of the fall, or the knot tied by an expert seaman, so " 
 that it may be well secured and easily loosened. The horse should be 
 run up quickly to prevent him foom 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 is to be taken that the horses are not over-fed ; 
 bran should form part of their ration. ' The face, eyes, and nostrils of 
 each horse are to be washed at the usual stable hours ; and occasionally 
 the manges should be washed and the nostrils of the horse sponged with 
 vinegar and water. 
 
 857. In loading vessels with stores for a military expedition, the 
 cargo of each should be composed of an assortment of such stores as

 easily reached, in the order in which they are- required for service. 
 Each store-ship should he marked, at the bow and stern, OQ both sides, 
 in large characters,. with a distinctive letter and number. A list is to 
 be made of t he .stores on board nf each vessel, and of the place where 
 they are to be found in it; a copy of this list bo l>c sent to the chief 
 officer of the proper department in the expedition, or at the place of des- 
 tination.

 place in the court, in the order of their rank. A decision of the proper 
 authority in regard to the rank of the members cannot be reversed by 
 the c 'iirt.

 the witness is material, and how ; 2d, that the accused has used due 
 diligence to procure his attendance, and 3d, that he has reasonable 
 ground to believe, and dues believe, that he will be able to procure such 
 attendance within a reasonable time stated. 
 
 866. The President id' a court-martial, besides his duties and privi- 
 leges as member, is the organ of the court, to keep order and conduct 
 its business. He speaks and acts for the court in each case where the 
 rule lias been prescribed by law, regulation, or its own resolution. In 
 all their u el iterations the law secures the equality of the members. 
 • 867. The 76th Article of War does not confer on a court-martial the 
 power to punish its own members. For disorderly conduct, a member 
 is liable as in other offences against military discipline ; improper words 
 are to be taken down, and any disorderly conduct of a member reported 
 to the authority convening the court. 
 
 868. The Judge Advocate shall summon the necessary witnesses for 
 the trial ; but be shall not summon any witness at the expense of the 
 Confederate States, nor. any officer of the army, without the order of the 
 court, unless satisfied that his testimony is material and necessary to 
 the ends of justice. 
 
 869.. Every court-martial shall keep a complete and accurate record 
 of its proceedings, to be authenticated by the signatures of the Presi- 
 dent and Judge Advocate, who shall also certify, in like manner, the 
 sentence pronounced by the court in each case. The record must show 
 that the court was organized as the law requires ; that the court and 
 Judge Advocate were duly sworn in the presence of the prisoner; that 
 he was previously asked whether he had objection to any member, and 
 his answer thereto. A copy of the order appointing the court will be 
 entered on the record in each case. 
 
 870. Whenever the same court-jmartial tries more prisoners than one, 
 and they are arraigned on separate and distinct charges, the court is to 
 be sworn at the commencement of each trial, and the proceedings in 
 each case will be made up separately. 
 
 871. The record shall be clearly and legibly written ; as far as prac- 
 ticable, without erasures or interlineations, the pages to be numbered, 
 with a margin of one inch. on tlue left side of each page, and at the top 
 of the odd and bottom of the even pages ; through this last margin the 
 sheets to be sritehed together; the documents accompanying the pro- 
 ceedings to be noted and marked in such a manner as to afford an easy 
 reference. 
 
 872. No. recommendation will be embraced in the body of the sen- 
 tence. Those members only who concur in the recommendation will 
 sign it. ^ k 
 
 _ 873. The legal punishments for soldiers by sentence of a court-mar- 
 tial according to the offence, and the jurisdiction of the court, are- 
 death ; corporal punishment by flogging: confinement; confinement on 
 bread and water* diet; solitary confinement; bard labor; ball and 
 chain; forfeiture of pay and allowances; discharges from service; and 
 reprimands. Solitary confinement, or confinement on bread and water, 
 shall not exceed fourteen days at a time, with intervals between the 
 periods <>f such confinement not less than such periods, and not exceed- 
 ing eighty-four days in one year. 
 
 874. A court martial cannot assign -and make over -the pay of a sol- 
 
00UBT6-MAET1AL — W0KR.1NG PAHTIU*. 8i» 
 
 dier to an j other person, and the receipt of such person will not be a* 
 sufficient voucher for the disbursing officer. Nor can a soldier he re- 
 quired to receipt for money paid without his consent to another person.. 
 The law prohibits any receipt or voucher in accounts of public money, 
 unless the full amount of the receipt is paid to the party who signed it. 
 * 875. The jurisdiction and authority of courts martial are the same 
 with reference to Ordnance Sergeants and Hospital Stewards as in the 
 cases of other enlisted men. When, however, an Ordnance Sergeant 
 or Hospital Steward is sentenced by an inferior court to be reduced to 
 the ranics, such sentence, though it may be approved by the reviewing 
 officer, will not be carried into eflect-until the case has been referred 
 to the Secretary of War for final action. In these cases of reduction, 
 the application of the man for discharge from servi e, though not re- 
 cognized as a right, will generally be regarded with favor, if his of- 
 fence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially where Ire has 
 not hi*en recently promoted from the ranks. 
 
 870. The Judge Advocate shall transmit the proceedings, without do- 
 lay, to the oTeer haying authority to confirm the sentence, who shall 
 state, at the end of the proceedings in each case, his decision arid or- 
 ders thereon. 
 
 o77. The original proceedings of all general courts-martial, after the. 
 decision on them of the reviewing authority, and all proceedings that 
 require the decision of thl President under the G5th and 89th Articles 
 of War, and copies of all orders confirming or disproving, or remitting 
 the sentences of courts martial, an I all official communications for the 
 Judge Advocate of the army, will be addressed to " " The Adjutant and 
 Inspector- General />/' the Army, War Department," marked un the cover, 
 "Judge Advocate." 
 
 . The proceedings of garrison and regimental courts-martial will 
 he transmitted without delay, by the garrison or regimental comman- 
 der, to the department headquarters for the' supervision of the depart- 
 ment commander. 
 
 . 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 Confederate States. A superior military 
 Commander to the officer confirming the proceedings may suspend the 
 execution of the sentence when, in his judgment, it is void upon tho 
 face of the proceedings, or when he sees a fit case for executive clem- 
 ency. In such eases I rd, with his order prohibiting the execu- 
 "oall be transmitted for the final orders of the President. 
 1 When a court-martial or court of enquiry adjourns without day, 
 embers will return to their respective posts ami duties, unless 
 otherwise ordered. 
 
 When a court adjourns for three days, the Judge Advocate shall 
 report tho f;rct to the commander of the post or troops, and the mem- 
 bers belonging to the command will be liable to duty during the time.

 which shall be promptly reported to the department commander. 
 
 886. Extra-duty pay of a saddler in a mounted company will be 
 charged on the company muster-roll, to be paid by the Quartermaster 
 and refunded by the Ordnance Department. Extra-duty pay of cooks 
 and nurses in the hospital service will be paid by the Quartermaster, in 
 the absence of a medical disbursing officer, and refunded by the Medi- 
 cal Department. The extra pay of cooks atid nurses will be charged 
 on hospital muster-rolls.

 888. A day's work shall not exceed ten hour's in summer, nor eight 
 in winter. Soldiers are paid in proportion for any greater number of 
 hours they are employed each day. Summer is considered to commence 
 on the 1st of April, and winter on the l>t of October. 
 
 889-. Although the necessities of the service may require soldiers to 
 lie ordered on working parties as a duty, commanding officers are to 
 bear in mind that fitnrss for military service by instruction and disc.p 
 line is the object for which the army is kept on foot, and that they are 
 not to employ the troops when not in the field, and especially the 
 mounted troops, in labors that interfere with' their military duties and 
 exercises, except in cases of immediate necessity, which shall be forth* 
 with reported for the orders of the War Department.

 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. 
 
 SUPPLIES. 
 
 1097. Subsistence stores for the army, unless in particular and urgent 
 cases the Secretary of War shall otherwise direct, shall be procured by 
 contract, to be made by the Commissary-General on public notice, to be 
 delivered on inspection in the bulk, and at such places as shall be stipu- 
 lated ; the inspector to give duplicate inspection certificates (see Form 
 No. 15), and to be aiegal inspector where there is such officer. 
 
 1098. Purchases, to supply such corps and posts as by reason of their 
 position, the climate, or for other sufficient cause, the Secretary of War 
 may specially direet to be supplied in that way, will be made in open 
 market, on public notice, from the lowest bidder who produces the pro- 
 per article. 
 
 1099. And whenever a deficiency of subsistence stores«makes it neces- 
 sary to buy them, the commissary, where they are needed, will make a 
 requisition for that purpose on the proper purchasing commissary, or 
 buy them himself, of good quality, corresponding with the. contract. 
 
 1100. When subsistence is received under contract,, the commissary 
 will receipt for it on the inspection certificates (see Form No. 15.) He 
 will deliver one of these to the contractor,.and forward the other to the 
 Commissary-General, witlva report on the quality of the provisions and 
 the condition of the packages. 
 
 1101. Whenever subsistence stores are purchased, the advertisements 
 nnd bids, and a copy of the bill of purchase, with a statement of the 
 cause of purchase, will be forwarded by the purchasing officer to the 
 Commissary-General. This rule does not apply to the ordinary pur- • 
 chase of hospital supplies. Pork, salt beef, and flour must be inspected 
 before purchase by a legal inspector where there is such officer!, Dupli- 
 cate certificates of inspection (see Form No. 15) will be taken as sub- 
 vouchers to the vouchers for the payment. 
 
 1102. Fresh beef, when it can be procured, shall be furnished as often 
 as the. commanding officer may order, at leask twice a week, to be pro- 
 
 -cured by the eommissary, when practicable, by contract. (For form of ' 
 contract and bond, see Forms 27 and 28. When beef is taken on the 
 hoof, it will be accounted for on the provision return by.tlie number of 
 cattle and their estimated weight. When the pasture is insufficient, 
 hay; corn, and other forage will be procured for public cattle. 
 
 1103. Good and sufficien-t store-room for trie subsistence stores will 
 be procured by the commissary from the Quartermaster. Care shall be 
 taken to keep the store-rooms dry and ventilated. Packages shall be so 
 stored as to allow circulation of air among and beneath them. The 
 flour should occasionally be rolled out into the air. 
 
 1104. Before submitting damaged commissary stores to boards of sur- 
 vey, the commissary shall separate and re-pack sound parts. 
 
 1105. Wastage, on issues, or from evaporation or leakage, will be as-' 
 certained quarterly, or when it can be most conveniently; and the ac- 
 tual wastage thus found will be charged on the monthly return. Loss, 
 from whatever cause, exceeding ordinary waste, must be accounted for 
 by the certificate of an officer, or other satisfactory evidence. Ordi- 
 cary waste on issues should not exceed say 10 per cent, on pork, bacon, 
 
SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. ' 191 
 
 sugar, vinegar, and soap, and 5 per cent, on hard bread, beans, rice, 
 coffee, and suit. 
 
 1106. No wastage is admitted on issues of fresh beef furnished the 
 conipany detachment, or regiment, directly from the butcher. But in 
 beef^n the hoof, errors in estimated weight, and losses on rattle stray- 
 ^1 or stolen, will he accounted for by the certificate of nn officer, or 
 other satisfactory evidence. When cattle are transferred, bhey should 
 he appraised, and loss in weight reported as wastage by the officer de- 
 livering them. Fair wastage in transportation of stores-is accounted 
 for by the receiving offioer. 
 
 TUE RATION. 
 
 1107. The ration is three-fourths of a pound of pork or bacon, or one 
 and a fourth pounds of fresh or salt beef; eighteen ounces of bread or 
 fltfur, or twelve ounces of hard bread, or one-and a. fourth pounds of 
 corn meal ; and at the rate, to one hundred rations of eight quarts of 
 peas or beans, or, in lieu thereof, ten pounds of rice; si.vpounds coffee; 
 twelve pounds sugar ; four quarts of vinegar ; one and a half pounds 
 of tallow, or one and a fourth pounds adamantine, or one pound sperm 
 candles : four pounds of^soap. and two qua: tH of salt. 
 
 . Modification of Ration. — Henceforth the Ration will be a pound of 
 Beef or a half pound of Bacon or Pork; and the ration of Flour or« 
 Meal will not exceed a pound and a half of either. Commissaries are 
 again instructed to save all the Tallow they can, to be used in place of 
 Lard. 
 
 1108. The annexed table shows the quantity of each part of the ra- 
 tion in any number of rations from one to ten thousand. 
 
 1109.' On a campaign, or on marches, or on board of transports, the 
 ration of hard bread is one pound. 
 
 11 1^. Returns for issues to companies, will, when practicable, bo con- 
 solidated for the post or regiment (see Form 14).' At the end of the 
 "month, the waning commissary will make duplicate abstracts of the 
 -, which the comm%nding officer will compare with the original 
 returns, and certify fhee Form 2). This abstract is a voucher uf \he 
 iasue f,,r the m n'tlilv return. 
 
 1111. Issues to t li o hospital will be on returns by the medical officer, 
 
 ions only as are actually required fur the sick and the 
 
 attendants. The cost of such pans of the ration as are issued will be 
 
 charged to the hospital nt contract or cost prices, and the hospital will 
 
 ■ dited by the whole number of complete rat h the 
 
 month at contract or cost prices (see Note 7) ; the balance, constituting 
 
 the Hospital Fund, • r any portion of it. may be expended by the com- 
 
 ry, on the requisition of the m< r, in the purchase "f any 
 
 article for the subsistence or comfort of the sick, not authorized to l>c 
 
 otherwise furnished j^c Form .".). Atlai r general hospitals, 
 
 this fund may he partly expended for the benefit of depend"' 
 
 hments, on requisitions approved hy the medii 
 
 I l.erc- 
 
 after be subject to the reduction authorised April - -, but will 
 
 remain as prescribed, by .paragraph 1107. 
 
- 192 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. ' 
 
 1112. The articles purchased for the hospital, as well as those issued 
 from the subsistenee'store bouse, will be included in the Surgeon's cer- 
 tificates of issues to the hospital, and borne on the monthly return, of 
 provisions received and issued. Vouchers for purchases for the hospital 
 must either be certified by the Surgeon, or accompanied by his requisi- 
 tion. *^ 
 
 1113. Abstracts of the issues to the hospital will be made by the com- 
 missary certified by the Surgeon, and countersigned by the command* 
 ing officer (see Form 3). 
 
 1114. In order that the authorized women of companies may draw 
 their rations while temporarily separated frotn their companies, the of- 
 ficer commanding the company must make a report to tlte commanding 
 officer. of the post where the women may be left, designating such as 
 are to draw rations as attached to his company. Their rations are not 
 commuted, and they can only draw them at a military post or station 
 ■where there are supplies. 
 
 1115. When provisions can be spared from the military supplies, 
 commanding officers have discretion to order issues to Indians visiting 
 military posts on the frontiers,. or in their respective nations, and to 
 order sales of subsistence to Indian agents for issues to Indians. The 
 returns for issues, where there is no Indian agent, will be signed by the 
 commanding afficer. The sales will be for cash, at cost, including all 
 expenses ; to be entered on the monthly return, and credited on the 
 quarterly account current. 
 
 1116. Issues to volunteers and militia, to sailors, to marines, to citizens 
 employed by any of the departments, or to Indians, will be enteied on 
 separate abstracts to the monthly return. 
 
 1117. An extra issue of- fifteen pounds of tallow or ten of sperm can- 
 dles, per month, may be made to the principal guard of each camp and 
 garrison, on the order of the commanding officer. Extra issues of soap, 
 candles and vinegar, aro permitted to the hospital when the Surgeon 
 does not avail himself of the commutation of the hospital rations, or 
 when there is no hospital fund; salt in small quantities may be issued 
 for public horses and cattle. When the officers of the Medical Depart- 
 ment find antiscorbutics necessary for the heaKh of the troops, the com- 
 manding officer may order issues, of fresh vegetables, pickled onions, 
 sour krout or molasses, with an extra quantity office and vinegar. 
 (Potatoes are usually issued at the rate of one pound per ration, and 
 onions at the rate of three bushels in lieu of one of beans.) Occasional 
 issues (extra) of molasses are made — two quarts to one hundred rations 
 —and of dried apples, of from one to one and a half bushels to one 
 hundred rations. Troops at sea are recommended to draw rice and an 
 extra issue of molasses in lieu of beafis. When anti scorbutics are is- 
 sued, the medical officer will certify the necessity, and the circumstances 
 which cause it, upon the abstract of extra issues, (see Form 4). 
 
 1118. When men leave their company, the rations they have drawn, 
 and left with it, will be deducted from the next return for the company: 
 a like rule when men are discharged from the hospital will govern the 
 haspital return. Inasmuch as the Regulations concerning the issue of 
 commissary Stores have been violated by issuing the same to civilians: 
 Hereafter, all issues of subsistence not warranted by the Regulations, 
 are positively prohibited. 
 
. SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. ' . 193

 1119. When subsistence cannot bo issued to the Commissariat to re- 
 cruiting parties, it will be procured by the officer in charge, on written

 Form 20). - 
 
 1120. The contractor will send monthly or quarterly, as he may 
 choose, hie account for rations issued, to the Commissary-General for pay- 
 ment vouched by the abstract of issues (Form 17) certified by the officer, 
 
 1121. When convenience and economy require that the contract slmll 
 be for board and lodging, the officer in charge shall estimate the cost of 
 the ration, for which the contractor shall be paid as before directed, and 
 shall pay the amount duo to lodging from the recruiting fund. 
 
 1122. At temporary rendezvous, advertising may be dispensed with, 
 nnd a contract made conditioned to be terminated at the pleasure of tho 
 officer or the Commissary-General. 
 
 1123. The recruiting officer will be required, when convenient, to re- 
 ceive and disburse the funds for the subsistence of his party, find to

 penses of advertising for proposals, will be paid by the contractor at tho 
 prineifal station, and included in his accounts.

 1127. An officer may draw subsistence stores, paying cash for them 
 at contract or cost prices, without including cast of transportation, on 
 his certificate thafrthey are for his own use and the use of hid family.

 monthly abstracts of sales, which he shall countersign, (see Form 5.) 
 The commissary will enter the sales on his monthly return, and credit 
 tho money in his quarterly account current No subsistence stores will 
 be 6old to officers' families. When an officer has his family with him, 
 where he is stationed on duty, he may draw a limited amount of such 
 stores, on his certificate on honor that tlie stores are exclusively for 
 himself and his family. He must pay cash, or deposit a pay account 
 with the Commissary, on which lie may draw, ("nder no Gther circum-' 
 stances whatever will Commissaries bo permitted to issue stores to of-

 1145. Duplicate originals of nil contracts en account of subsisj 
 tence -will be sent to the Commissary-QeneraPa office throwjh tlie prin- 
 cipal Commissary of Subsistence of tlie Military Department in which 
 the contract is made. The place of residence of oach surety to tbo bond 
 must be named therein with particularity. Where the form is pre- 
 scribed it will be followed; in all cases contracts must be drawn up 
 and executed to meet the requirements of tbo law. Every contract, 
 whether for services or for the furnishing of supplies, which contem- 
 plates a partial performance, from- time to time, continuing until the 
 whole duty is performed, or the whole delivery of the enumerated, arti- 
 cles is effected, must provide in express terms for its earlier termina- 
 tion, if the Commissary-General shall so direct. 
 
 1140. Estimates for funds must be rendered in duplicate. 
 
 1147. In order to establish an invariable rule for ascertaining the 
 nett weight of beef cattle received on the hoof, the following modo is 
 adopted, end for the future, in all cases will be observed : 
 
 1. When practicable, cattle presented for acceptance must be weighed 
 upon the scales. From tho live weight of a steer, thus ascertained, his 
 nett weight sUnll be determined by deducting forty 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 usual manner. 
 The average nett weight of these (neck and shanks excluded) will be 
 accepted as the average nett weight of the herd. In all written'instru- 
 ments for the delivery of cattle on the hoof, the manner prescribed 
 above, for ascertaining nett weight, must, in express terms, be inserted ; 
 in verbal agreements, it must be understood and accepted by the party 
 delivering the*cattle. Vouchers fur tho payments of cattlo will sla f o 
 the manner pursued in determining their nett weight, except where 
 payment has been made on the ccrtifu lategof an officer, in which case 
 the certificate will state tho mede followed. 
 
 3. With a view to the prevention of losses', now so frequently occur- 
 ring, 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 tho 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 cireums'. favorable, and it can 
 be done with advantage to the Government, the Subsistence Department 
 will keep beef cattle to supply thcisMics. 
 
 1149. The followir nd substitutions maybe made: When, 
 from excessive fatigue or exposure, the commanding uflicer may deem 
 it necessary, he may direct the issue of whiskey to tho enlisted men of 
 bis command, not to exceed a gill per man for each day. Tea may bo 
 issued in lieu of coffee, at the rate of one and a half pounds p« 
 hundred rationfl. Two '•* issues' 1 per week of "desiccated vegetal 
 may be made in lieu of " bean--" or " rid v, lien 
 
 1, will always Iks in lieu of rico or 1 at the r 
 
 ind per ration : oniooa at the rate of three peeks* per hundred ra- 
 tions. A daily ration of fresh vegetables will be furnished to all the

 troops whenever the came can be provided at reasonable cost and 
 charges to the government. 'Chaplains in the army are allowed the 
 same rations ns privates, to be issued or commuted to them as they may 
 desire. If commuted, twenty-five cents per ration while in the field, 
 and sixty cents per ration while stationed in a city, may be allowed

 men, also four cook*, and will receive one ration per day each. ,

 a private physician, and a just account therefore will be paid .by the 
 Medical Bureau. 
 
 1206. The account will set out the name of the patient, the date of 
 and charge for each visit, and for medicines. The physician will make 
 a certificate to the acount in case of an officer, or affidavit in case of an 
 enlisted man, that the account is correct, and the charges are the cus- 
 tomary charges of the place. 
 
 1207. The officer will make his certificate, or the enlisted man his af- 
 fidavit, to the correctness of the account, that he was on service at the 
 place, and stating the circumstances preventing him from receiving the 
 services of a medical officer. 
 
 1208. When the charge is against an officer, he willpay the account 
 if practicable, and transmit it to the Medical Bureau for reimburse- 
 ment. In all other cases, the account will be transmitted to the Medi- 
 cal Bureau for settlement. 
 
 1209. If the charge is against a deceased officer or enlisted man, the 
 physician will make the affidavit, before required to the account, and 
 that he has been paid no part of it. 
 
 , 1210. No charges for consultation fees will be paid by the Medical ' 
 Bureau; nor will any accoqntTor medical attendance or medicines be 
 paid, if the officer or enlisted man be not on service. 
 
 1211. A board of not less than three medical officers will be appoint- 
 ed from time to time, by the Secretary of War, to examine applicants 
 for appointment of assistant surgeons in the regular army, and assis- 
 tant surgeons for promotion. -And no one shall be appointed or pro- 
 moted until so examined and found qualified. 
 
 1212- The board will scrutinize rigidly the moral habits, profession- 
 al acquirements, and physical qualifications of the candidates, and re- 
 port favorably, either for appointment or promotion, in no case admit- 
 ting of a reasonable doubt. 
 
 1213. The Secretary of War will designate the applicants to be ex- 
 amined for appointment of assistant surgeon. They must be between 
 21 and 25 years of age. The board will report their respective merits 
 hi the several branches of the examination, and their relative- merit 
 from the whole; agreeably whereto, if vacancies happen within two 
 years thereafter, they will receive appointments and ta\e rank in the 
 medical Corps. 
 
 1214. When an assistant sargenn has served five years, he is subject 
 to be examined for promotion. If, he decline the examination, or be 
 found not qualified by moral habits or professional acquirements, he 
 ceases to be a medical officer of the army. 
 
 1215. An applicant for appointment failing at one examination, maj 
 be allowed a second after two years ; but never a third. 
 
 1216. The Secretary of War will appoint, on the recommendation of 
 the Surgeon General, from the enlisted men of the army, or cause to be 
 enlisted,, as many competent hospital stewards as the service may re- 
 quire. 
 
 1217. The senior medical officer of a command requiring a steward, 
 may recommend a competent non-commissioned officer or soldier to bo 
 appointed, which recommendation the eommapding officer shall forward 
 
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT- , 241 
 
 to the Adjutant ami Inspector-General of the army, with his remarks 
 thereon, aad with the remarks of the company commander. 
 
 1218. When no competent enlisted man can be procured, the medical 
 oficer will report the fact to ^he Surgeon General. Applications and 
 testimonials of competency? from persons seeking to he enlisted for hos- 
 pital stewards, may be addressed to the Surgeon General. 
 
 1219. The commanding officer may re-enlist a hospital steward at the 
 expiration of his term of 6ervjoe, on the recommendation of the medi- 
 cal officer. 
 
 1220. No soldier, or citizen, will be recommended for appointment 
 who is not knoicn to be temperate, honest, and in every way reliable, as 
 well as sufficiently intelligent, and skilled in pharmacy, for the proper 
 discharge of the responsible duties likely to be devolved upon him. 
 Until this is foots*, he will be appointed an acting steward by the med- 
 ical officer, with the approval of the conwianding officer, and will be 
 entitled to the pay and .allowances of hospital steward. 
 
 1221. Hospital stewards, appointed by the Secretary of War, whenever 
 stationed in places whenee no post return is made to the Adjutant-Gen- 
 eral's office, or when on furlough, will, at the end of every month, re- 
 port themselves, by letter, to the Adjutant and Inspector General»and 
 Surgeon General, as well as to the Medical Director of the military de- 
 partment in which they may be serving; to each of whom they will 
 •Jso report each new alignment to duty, or change of station, ordered 
 in their case, noting carefully the number, date, and source of the order 
 directing the same. They will likewise report monthly, when on fur- 
 lough, to the Medical officer in charge of the hospital to which they 
 are attache 1. 
 
 1222; The jurisdiction and authority of courts-martial are the same 
 with reference to hospital stewards as in the cases of other enlisted 
 men. When, however, a hospital steward is sentenced by an inferior 
 court to be reduced to the ranks, such sentence, though it may be ap- 
 proved by the reviewing officer, will not be carried into effect until the 
 ease has been referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In 
 these cases of reduction, the application of the man for discharge from 
 service, though not recognized as of right, will generally be regarded with 
 favor, if his offence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially 
 when he lias not been recently promoted fn>m the ranks. 
 
 1228. As the hospital stewards, appointed by the Secretary of War, 
 are permanently attached to the Medical Department, their accounts of 
 pay, clothing, io., must be kept by the medical officers under whose 
 immediate direction they are serving, who are also responsible for cer- 
 tified statements of such accounts, and correct descriptive lhts of such 
 stewards, to accompany them in ca«e of transfer ; as, also, that their 
 final statements and certificates of discharge are accurately made out, 
 when they are at length discharged from Bervicc.

 RECRUITING SERVICE. 
 
 1383. The recruiting service will be conducted by the Adjutant and In- 
 spector General under the direction of the Secretary of war. 
 
 1384. Field officers will be detailed to superintend the recruiting dis- 
 tricts, and lieutenants to take charge of the recruiting parties. The re- 
 cruiting service will form a special roster. The Adjutant and Inspector 
 General will detail the field officers, and announce in orders the num- 
 ber 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 filer. 
 The parties will be sent from the principal depots, and none 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 superintend- 
 ent sends estimates for funds to the Adjutant General, and requisitions 
 on the proper departments (through the Adjutant and Inspector General) 
 for clothing, camp equipage, arms, and accoutrements. 
 
 1388. Subsequent supplies for the stations in his district are procured 
 by the superintendent on consolidated estimates; these are made quar- 
 terly for funds, and every six or twelve .months for clothing, equipage, 
 arms, and accoutrements. Estimates for funds will be in the following 
 form :

RECRUITING CEHVICE. 385 
 
 1389. Funds and supplies of clothing, camp and garrison equipage, 
 arms and accoutrements, when ordered, will be sent direct to each sta- 
 tion. « * 
 
 1390. The superintendents will transmit to tho Adjutant and Inspector 
 General consolidated monthly returns of the recruiting parties under 
 their superintendence, according to directions on the printed blanks, 
 accompanied by one copy of the enlistment of each recruit, enlisted 
 within the month. Also a quarterly return of deceased solaiers to tho 
 Adjutant und Inspector General and Second Auditor. 
 
 1391. When recruits should bo sent to regiments, a superintendent 
 will report to the Adjutant and Inspector General for instructions in 
 reference thereto. 
 
 1392. When recruits are sent from a depot or rendezvous to a regi- 
 ment or post, a muster and descriptive roll, and an account of clothing of 
 the detachment, will be given to the officer assigned to the command of 
 it ; and a duplicate of the muster and descriptive soil will be forwarded 
 to the Adjutant and Inspector General by the superintendent, who will 
 note on it the names of all the officers on duty with the detachment, aud 
 the day of its departure from the depot or rendezvous. 
 
 1393. The superintendent will report all commissioned or non-com- 
 missioned officers who may be incapable or negligent in the discharge 
 of their functions. Where a recruiting party fails to get recruits from 
 any cause other than the fault of the officer, the superintendent will 
 recommend another station for the party. 
 
 1394. When a rendezvous is closed, the superintendent will give the 
 necessary instructions for the safe-keeping or disposal of the public 
 property, so- as not to involve any expense for storage. 
 
 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 be sent from place to place without 
 orders from the same source. 
 
 DUTIES OF RECRUITING OFFICERS. 
 
 139fl. Success in obtaining recruits depends much on the activity 
 and personal attention of recruiting officers, and they will not entrust 
 to enlisted men the duties for which themselves only are responsible. 
 They will in no case absent themselves from their stations without au- 
 thority from the superintendent. 
 
 1397. Recruiting officers will not allow any man to be deceived br in- 
 veigled into the service by false representations, but will in person ex- 
 plain the nature of the service, the length of the term, the pa.v, cloth- 
 ing, rations, and other allowances to which a soldier is entitled by law, 
 "to every man before lie signs the enlistment. If minors present them- 
 selves, they arc to be treatcl with great candor; the names and resi- 
 dences of their parents or guardians, if they have any, must l>e ascer- 
 tained, and thev will be informed of the minor's wish to enlist, that 
 they may make their objections or give their consent 
 
 R98. With the sanction of superintendents, recruiting officers may 
 insert in not exceeding two newspapers, brief notices directing atten- 
 tion to the rendezvous for further information. 
 
 1399. Any free white, male person above the age of eighteen and un- 
 der thirty five years, being at least five feet four and a half inches high, 
 17 
 
8&6 recruiting seryice. 
 
 effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good character and 
 habits, and able to spe^ak and understand well the English language, 
 may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height and age 
 of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians, or to soldiers who may 
 " re-enlist," or have served honestly' and faithfully a previous enlist- 
 ment in the army. 
 
 1400. No person under the ago of twenty-one years is to be enlisted 
 without the written consent of his parent, guardian, or master. The 
 recruiting officer 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 
 declaration, to be appended 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 nevef 
 been discharged from the Confederate States service on account of dis- 
 ability, or by a sentence of a court martial, or by order before the expi- 
 ration of a term of enlistment ; and I know of no impediment to my 
 serving honestly and faithfully as a soldier for five yenra. 
 
 Witness : • . 
 
 1402. If the recruit be a minor, his parent, guardian, or master must 
 6ign a consent to his" enlisting, which will be added to the preceding 
 declaration, in the following form : 
 
 I, , do certify that I am the {father, only surviving parent, 
 
 legal master, or guardian) 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 fur the period of five years. 
 
 Witness t . 
 
 1403- The forms of declaration, and of consent in case of a minor, 
 having been signed and witnessed, the recruit will then be duly in- 
 spected by the recruiting officer, and surgeon, if one be present, and 
 if accepted, the 20th and 87th Articles of War will be read to him ; 
 after which he will be allowed time to' consider the subject until his 
 mind appears to be fully made up before the oath is administered to 
 him. 
 
 1404. As soon as practicable, and at least within six days after hia 
 enlistment, the following 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 Presi- 
 dent of the Confederate States, and the orders of the officers appointed 
 over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of tlje 
 armies of the Confederate States." (See 10th Art. War.) 
 
RECRUITING SERVICE. ,387 
 
 1405. Under the Article of War above cited, a justice of tho 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 
 chil magistrates, a judge advocate, or any commissioned officer of the 
 army, may administer the above oath. 
 
 1406. It is tiic duty of the recruiting officer to bo present at the in- 
 spection of the recruit by the medical officer. In passing a recruit the 
 medical officer is to inspect him stripped ; to see that he has free use of 
 all his limbs; that his chest is ample; that his hearing, vision - ; and 
 speech are perfect; that he lias no tumors, or ulcerated, 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 infectious disorder, nor any other that may unfit him for milita- 
 ry service. 
 
 1407. Recruiting officers will not employ private physicians, without 
 authority from the Adjutant and Inspector General's office, for the spe- 
 cial purpose of inspecting the recruits prior to their enlisting. 
 
 1408. If it be necessary, as in the case of sickness, to employ a phy- 
 sician, the recruiting officer may engage his services by contract, on 
 reasonable terms, by the visit, or by the month. If by the month, the 
 inspection of the recruits must lie stated in tho contract as part of his 
 duty. The physician will be paid from the recruiting funds. 
 
 1409. Enlistments must, in all cases, be taken in triplicate. The re- 
 cruiting officer will send one copy to the Adjutant General with his 
 quarterly accounts, (paragraph 1280, No. 1,) a second to the superin- 
 tendent with his monthly return, (paragraph 1280, No. G,) and a third 
 to the depot at the same time the recruits are sent there. In cases of 
 noldiers re-enlisted in a regiment, or of regimental recruits, the third 
 copy of the enlistment will be sent at its date to regimental headquar- 
 ters for file. 
 
 1410. When ordnance sergeants re-enlist, the recruiting offieer will 
 immediately send the second copy of the enlistment direct to tho Adju- 
 tant General, and the third copy to the station of tho ordnance sergeant 
 for file. 
 
 1411. A non-commissioned officer, musician, or private soldier, who 
 may re-enlist into his eompany or regiment within two months before, 
 or one month after the expiration of his term of service, shall receivo 
 •u bnmty of three months' extra pay — that is to say, tho j*ny ho was re- 
 ceiving as pay of his grade, and as additional pay for length of scrvico 
 and for certificate of merit. This bounty shall bo paid bj the recruit- 
 ing officer at the time of enlistment, and noted on the descriptive list, 
 and timely notice of probable re-enlistmcnts in a company must bo 
 given beforehand to the proper authority, tln\t. the necessary funds may 
 be provided. Ordnance sergeants and hospital stewards are non com- 
 
 titled to the bounty in the case provided. 
 
 1112. Enlistments must, in i antedated so a« i<^ entitle a 
 
 soldier to bounty whp applies after tho period allowed for " rer 
 ni<j" has expired. » 
 
 1413. A proraium of two dollars 'will \>n paid to an}- citizen, non- 
 eeiuiuisst'aied oflkcr, or soldier, for each accented recruit that ho may 
 
388 RECRUITING SERVICE. 
 
 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 to wear their military dress in a becoming manner, especially 
 when permitted to go abroad. 
 
 1415. Only such articles of clothing as are indispensable for immedi- 
 ate use, will be issued to recruits at the rendezvous. Their equipment 
 will not be made complete till after they have passed the inspection 
 subsequent to their arrival at the depot. 
 
 1416. The instruction of the recruits will commence at the rendez- 
 vous from the moment of enlistment. The general superintendent will 
 gee that all recruiting officers give particular attention to this subject. 
 
 1417. Recruits will be sent from rendevzous to depots every ten days, 
 or oftener, if practicable, provided the number disposable exceeds three. 
 The detachments of recruits will be sent from rendezvous to depots un- 
 der charge of a non-commissioned officer. 
 
 1418. Commutation for fuel and quarters, when allowed, is paid from 
 the recruiting funds on the usual vouchers receipted by the officer him- 
 self. 
 
 1419. Every officer commanding a recruiting party will procure the 
 necessary transportation, forage, fuel, straw, and statiohory, taking the 
 requisite vouchers; but no non-commissioned officer or soldier is to be 
 allowed tp become a contractor for the supplying of any article which 
 may be required. 
 
 1420. The transportation of recruits to df pots, and from one recruit- 
 ing station to another, will be paid from the recruiting funds; trans- 
 portation of officers and enlisted men on the recruiting service will be 
 paid in the same manner, except when first proceeding to join that ser- 
 vice, cr returning to their regiments after having been relieved. 
 
 1421. No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted that 
 do not aiise from orders emanating from the Adjutant and Inspector 
 General's Office, except they be required to visit branch or auxiliary 
 rendezvous under their charge, when they will be allowed the stage, 
 steamboat, or railroad fare, porterage included. 
 
 1422. Whenever an officer is relieved or withdrawn from the recruit- 
 ing 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 
 paymaster, if no officer be so designated ; and if there be no paymaster 
 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 Assistant Treasurer, or other deposi- 
 tary of public money. In .either case the officer 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' 
 eolonel, if on regiraontal recruiting service. 
 
 RENDEZVOUS, QUARTERING AND SUBSISTING RECRUITS. 
 
 1423. Written contracts will be made by recruiting officers for the 
 rent of- a rendezvous upon the most reasonable terms possible. The 
 rent will be paid from the recruiting fund. The terms of the contract 
 will bo immediately reported to the Adjutant and Inspector General. 
 
RECRUITING SERVICE. 389 ' 
 
 1424. When subsistence cannot bo issued by the commissariat to re- 
 cruiting parties, it will be procured by the officer in charge. Written 
 contracts will be made for the subsistence of the recruits, {see form A,) 
 due public notice being first given inviting proposals for furnishing 
 complete rations, (or board— see paragraph 14*25.). The original adver- 
 tisement, bids, contracts, and bond, will be forwarded to the Commis- 
 sary General of Subsistence, and copies be kept for the use of the re- 
 cruiting station. 
 
 1425. When convenience and economy require that the contract shall 
 be for board and lodging, the officer in charge shall estimato the cost of 
 the ration for which the contractor shall be paid from the subsistence 
 funds, as before directed ; and shall pay the amount due to lodging 
 from the recruiting funds. 
 
 1420* Issues will be made, or board furnished, (as the case may be,) 
 on regular provision returns, specifying the number of men, and clays * 
 and dates. A ration in kind may be allowed to one laundress at each 
 principal rendezvous. The contractor will forward his accounts either 
 monthly or quarterly to the Commissary General of Subsistence, (see 
 form B.) This account will be supported by an abstract of issues, duly 
 certified by the recruiting officer, (sec form C.) 
 
 1427. At temporary rendezvous, advertising may be dispensed with, 
 and a contract made conditioned to be terminated at the pleasure of the 
 officer or the Commissary General.

 ceive from the' Commissary General and disburse the funds for the sub- 
 sistence of his party, and to render bis accounts quarterly to the Com- 
 missary General. 
 
 i 1429. When a contract cannot be made, the recruiting officer may 
 pay the necessary expenses of subsisting and boarding his party ; ren- 
 dering distinct accounts for amounts paid from the subsistence and re- 
 cruiting funds, as in paragraph 1425. 
 
 1430. The expenses of subsistence at branch rendezvous, and all ex- 
 penses of advertising for proposals, will be paid by the contractor at 
 the principal station and included in his accounts.

 solidated receipt rolls, authenticated by the officer's certificate that they 
 are correct.

 1443. The number of recruits at depots to be assigned to each arm 
 and regiment is directed from the Adjutant and Inspector General's of- 
 fice. 
 
 1444. The recruits are to be dressed in uniform according to their re- 
 spective arms, and will be regularly mustered and inspected. They are 
 to be well drilled in the infantry tactics, through the school of the sol- 
 dier to that of the battalion, and in the exercise of field and garrison 
 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 and drum, and other military 
 instruments ; and boys of twelve years of age and upward may, under 
 his direction, be enlisted for this purpose. But as recruits under 
 eighteen years of age and under size must be discharged, if they are 
 not capable of learning music, care shourd betaken to enlist these only 
 who l^ive a natural talent for music, and, if practicable, they should be 
 taken on trial for some time before being enlisted. 
 
 144G. Regiments will be furnished with field music on the requisi- 
 tions of their commanders, made, from time to time, direct on the gene- 
 ral superintendent ; and when requested by regimental commanders, 
 the superintendents will endeavor to have suitable men selected from 
 the »ecruits, or enlisted for the regimental bands. 
 
 1447. To give encouragement to the recruits, and hold out 'induce- 
 ments to good conduct, the commanding officer of the depot may pro- 
 mote such of them to be lance corporals and lance sergeants as exhibit 
 the requisite qualifications, not exceeding the proper proportion to the 
 number of recruits at the depot. These appointments will be an- 
 nounced in orders in the usual way, and will be continued in force until 
 they join their Tegiments, unless sooner revoked. No allowance of pay 
 or emoluments is to be assigned to these appointments ; they are only 
 to be considered as recommendations to the captains of companies 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 authoritywhich may belong to the stations 
 of sergeant and corpora). 
 
 144S. Permanent parties at depots, and recruiting parties, will be 
 musterod, inspected, arid paid in the same manner as other Boldiers. 
 Recruits will be mustered fir pay only at depots, and when paid there 
 one half of their monthly pay will be retained until they join their regi- 
 ments. 
 
 1449. When recruits are received at a garrisoned post, the command- 
 ing officer will place them under the charge of a commission.- 1 oftB0F. 
 
 1450. Recruits arc not to be put to any labor or work which would 
 interfere with their instruction, nor are they to be employed otherwise 
 than as soldiers, in the regular duties of garrison and camp. 
 
 1451. Every enlisted man discharged ns a minor, or for other ctraso 
 
894 RECRUITING SERVICE. 
 
 involving fraud on his part in the enlistment, or discharged hy the civil 
 authority, shall forfeit all pay and allowances due at the time of the 
 discharge. 
 
 1452. The Rules and Articles 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 KECRUITS AT DEPOTS AND POSTS. 
 
 1453. The superintendent or commanding officer will caus'e a minute 
 and critical inspection to be made of every recruit received at a depot 
 two days after his arrival ; and should any recruit be found unfit for 
 service, or to have been enlisted contrary to law or regulations, he shall 
 assemble a Board, of Inspectors, to examine 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 the 
 depot. 
 
 1454. Every detachment ordered from a d^pot to any regiment or 
 post shall, immediately preceding its departure, be critically inspected 
 by the superintendent or commanding 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 by the commanding officer and surgeon, on the third day after 
 their arrival; and if, on such inspection, any recruit, in theiropinion, 
 be unsound or otherwise defective in such degree as to disqualify him 
 for the duties of a soldier, then a Board of Inspectors will be assem- 
 bled to examine into and report on the case. (See paragraphs 1438, 
 1439, 1440.) * " 
 
 1456. Boards for the inspection of recruits will be composed of the 
 three senior regimental officers present on duty, with the troops, in- 
 cluding the commanding officer, and the senidT medical officer of the 
 army present. 
 
 REJECTED RECRUITS. 
 
 1457. In all cases of rejection, the reasons therefor will be stated at 
 large in a special report, to be made by the board ; which, together with 
 the surgeon's certificate of disability for service, will be forwarded by 
 the superintendent or commandant of the post direct to the Adjutant 
 and Inspector General. In all such cases, the commanding officer will 
 cause the articles of clothing which may have been issued to the re- 
 cruit, with the price of each article, to be endorsed on the certificate of 
 disability. If the recommendation of the board for the discharge of the 
 recruit be approved, the authority therefor will be endorsed on the 
 certificate, which "will be sent back to be filled up and signed by the 
 commanding officer, who will return the same to the Adjutant and In- 
 spector General's ofirce. 
 
 1458. The board will state in the report whether the disability, or 
 other cause of rejection, "existed before his enlistment, and whether, 
 vrith proper care and examination, it might not have been discovered. 
 
 RECRUITS SENT TO REGIMENTS. 
 
 1459. An officer entrusted with the command of reowike ordered to 
 
RECRUITING SERVICE. 895 
 
 ■ 
 regiments will, on arriving at the place of destination, forward the fol- 
 lowing papers : 
 
 1. To the Adjutant and Inspector General and the Superintendent, 
 each, a descriptive roll and an account of clothing of such men as may 
 have deserted, died, or been left oh tlie 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 deta«hment when turned 
 over to tho commanding officer, and all circumstances worthy of remark 
 which may havo 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 appropriate 
 spaces, the time and place of death, desertion, apprehension, or other 
 casualty that may have occurred on the route. 
 
 14G0. Should an officer be re'ieved in charge of a detachment en 
 route, 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 dctachmcut equal to a company will be al- 
 lowed. 
 
 1461. Tho "original muster and descriptive roll" of every detach- 
 ment, 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 Adjutant and Inspector General by 
 the commanding officer who makes the assignment. IT the recruits 
 embraced in one roll happen to.be assigned to different posts, the origi- 
 nal roll is to continue with the last detachment to its destination, each 
 commander completing it so far as concerns the recruits left at his post. 
 When this is not practicable, extracts from the original roll are to be 
 made by the authority which distributes the recruits, to accompany the 
 several detachments and to be forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector 
 General as in case of the original roll. > 
 
 REGIMENTAL RECRCITING SERVICE. 
 
 1462.- The regimental recruiting will be conducted in the manner 
 prescribed for the general service.

 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, <fec-, 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 n<>t relievo such ofhVer from his company 
 or other ordinary duties. The officer thus designated will be kept con- 
 stantly furnished with funds, and, when necessary, with clothing and 
 camp equipage. (See paragraph 1441.) 
 
 1 165. The regimental recruiting officer will, with the approbation of 
 the commanding officer of the Station, enlist all suitable me*i. Ho will

 be governed, in rendering his accounts and returns, by the rules pre- 
 scribed for the general service; and when leaving a post, will turn over 
 the funds in his hands to the senior company officer of his regiment 
 present, unless some other be appointed to receive them.
