 For the information of all concerned, and to correct prevalent misap- 
 prehension, it is announced that there exists no mandatory provision of 
 law securing to enrolled conscripts the right to choose in what company 
 or regiment they will serve. They can not bo assigned to companies 
 from other states, and, in general, their wishes are to be consulted as to 
 the choice of companies, where no considerations for the good of the 
 .»ervice intervene to prevent compliance. Assignments ohce made by 
 commandants of conscripts, in good faith, in the exercise of their dis- 
 cretion, will not be considered as fit subjects for complaints.

 aid of all who are able to bear arms : 
 
 The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That no

 I. .Tho President having approved the folloTfing joint resolutions of 
 Congress, directs its announcement in General Orders, expressive of 
 his gratification at the tribute awarded the patriot officers and soldiers 
 to whom it is addressed. 
 
 For tho military laggard, or him who, in the pursuits of selfish and 
 inglorious ease, forgets his country's need, no note of approbation is 
 sounded. His infamy is his only security from oblivion ! But tho 
 heroic devotion of those who, in defence of liberty and honor, have 
 periled all, while it confers, in an approving conscience, the best and 
 highest reward, will also be cherished in perpetual remembrance by a 
 grateful nation. Let this assurance stimulate the armies 9i the Con- 
 federacy everywhere to greater exertion and more resolute endurance, 
 till, under the guidance of Heaven, the blessing? of peace and freedom 
 shall finally crown their efforts. Let all press forward in the road to 
 independence, and for the security of the rights sealed to us in the 
 blood of the fir.st Revolution. Honor and glorj' "await out success! 
 Slavery and shame will attend our defeat ! 
 
 II.. JOINT nESOL0TIONS OF THANKS TO GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE, 
 AND TO THE OFFICEKS AND SOLDIERS UNDER HIS COMMAND. 
 
 Whereas, the campaigns of the brave and gallant armies covering 
 the capital of the Confederate States during the two successive j'cars 
 of eighteen hundred and sixty-two and eighteen hundred and sixty- 
 three, under the leadership and command of Qcnoral Robert E. Lee, 
 have been crowned with glorious results, defeating" greatly superior 
 forces massed by the enemy for ihe conquest of these states, repelling 
 the invaders with immense losses, and twice trausferring tho battle 
 fields from our own country to that of the enemy ; and whereas, the 
 masterly and glorious achievements, rendering for over memorable the 
 field of the " seven days of great battles," which raised the Siege of 
 RichmonTl, as well as those of Cedar Run, Second Manassas, Harper's 
 Ferry, Boonsboro', Sharpsburg, Shepherdstown, Fredericksburg, Win- 
 chester, Gettysburg, and Chancellorsville, command the admiration 
 and gratitude of our country : and whereas, these and other illustrious 
 services rendered by this able commander since the commencement of 
 our war of independence, have especially endeared him to the hearts of 
 his countrymen, and have imposed on Congress the grateful duty of 
 giving expression to their feelings : Therefore, 
 
 Ecaolved, bi/ the Coitgrcss of the Confederate States of America, That 
 the thanks of Congress are due and are tendered to General Robert K.

 JL.Tho following schedules of prices for articles named therein, 
 adopted by commissioners appointed pursuant to law, for the State of 
 Virginia, arc announced for the information of all concerned ; jind the 
 special attention of officers and agent.s of the government is directed 
 thereto : 
 
 II. Richmond, January 27, 18C4. 
 
 Hon. James A. Seddon : ■ 
 
 Sir : In reviewing the schedules of prices for February and March 
 we invited the co-operation and aid of Mr. Wm. B. Harrison, and it is 
 
 * Amended by General Orders, No 17. puragiaph I, c. s. 
 
 t Revoked by General Orders, No. 25, paragraph IV, current series. 
 
 X Amended by General Ordere, Nos. 41 and 47, c. s. 
 
jupt to add th.ittlio sohcdulos received the uuanimous approval '<( the 
 commissioners. We respectfully offer the accompanying schedules, A 
 and 6, with the understanding that the prices are to remain for the 
 months of February and March unless, in the interval, it should be 
 deemed necessary to modify them. 
 
 The following price.'? are to be the maximum rates to be paid for the 
 articles? impres.'sed, in all c-ities and u.^ual place* of sale, and when im- 
 proKsod on the farms or elsewhere, the same prices are to bo paid. Since 
 the passage and enforcement of tlie law imposing the tax in kind ]>laces 
 additional burden.s upon the farmers of delivering a tenth of their pro- 
 ductiou.'?, we think it rather too onerous on those who produce the most 
 to be required also to incur the heavy additional expense of delivering 
 their surplus. 
 
 Under existing circumstances we have deemed it not only just, but 
 most likely to favor increased production, that producers in future 
 should not be required to transport their surplus productions when im- 
 pressed, but that the agents of the government should employ or im- 
 press the neighborhood or county wagons and teams to haul all such 
 articles, and so divide the work between "the owners of wagons and 
 teams as to be least prejudicial to tho.se successfully engaged in agricul- 
 ture.

 In assessing the average value of "first-clas.s artillery and wagon 
 horses at $350," we designed that the term should be accepted and act- 
 ed upon accordini;; to its obvious coniniOn-sensc import. In other words, 
 that horses should be selected, .and then impressed accordingly as their 
 working qualities and adaptation to army service, together with their 
 intrinsic valne, would warrant .a judicious purchaser in considering 
 them as coming within the contemplation of the commissioners when 
 they assessed the average value of such horses as the government nee'd- 
 ed at S350. But cases might arise, however, when the public exigencies 
 would be so urgent as to demand that all hor.scs at hand should be im- 
 pressed. Yet, under ordinary circumstances, when family or extra- 
 blooded horse.-i, or brood mares of admitted hhjli vulue, are impressed, we 
 respectfully suggest to the Secretary of War to have instructions, for- 
 warded to the impressing officers to propose and allow the owners to 
 substitute in their stead such strong, soiiud, and serviceable horses or 
 mules as shall be considered and valued bj' competent and disinterested 
 partie.s as first-class artillery' horses or first-rate wagon mules. 
 
 The term "average value per head" was used in contradistinction to 
 a lixcd and uniform price for each horse or mule. We suppose that, in 
 impres.sing a number of horses or mules, wlietlier owned by several per- 
 sons or one individual, that some might be estimated at .'f250, or even 
 at less, and others at different advanced rates, according to their worth, 
 upas high as .i;4.')0, or above that amount — thus making an <tre^;/e 
 v.alue or price for a tnmihcr of good, Sound, and efficient borsca, $350 
 each, and mules, ♦.'^OO each. 
 
12 
 
 In illustration of our views, we will add, that a horse with only one 
 ey^ouud might, in all other respects, be classed as a first-rate artille- 
 ry horse, yet the loss of one eye would justly and considerably curtail 
 his value. So a horse from ten to eighteen years of age might bo 
 deemed in all other particulars as a first-class artillery horse, but of 
 course, however efficient or able to render good service for a year or so, 
 yet his advanced age would justly aud materially impair his value. 
 Any horse, however he may ai)pro.\imat« the standard of a first-class 
 artillery horse, must, according to deficiencies, fall below the maximum 
 price ; and as few comparatively exactly come up to the standard, and 
 therefore are entitled to the maximum price, so, of course, in all other 
 instances the j)rice should be proportionately reduced, as imperfections 
 place them below the standard of first-class, etc.

 I.. In the event of the loss of conipanj' records, and the consequent 
 inability of the 'commanding officers to certify therefrom the clothing 
 accounts of soldiers, said accounts may be stated from memory, pro- 
 vided such statements arc supported by the affidavits of the soldiers 
 interested- 
 
 II.. When, from the casualties of war, companies have been entirely 
 deprived of their officers, in the adjustment of clothing accounts the 
 affidavit of the soldier, together with those of two of his comrades, 
 will be esteemed sufficient evidence to authorize a settlement with him, 
 if the statement shall be approved by tho regimental commander. 
 
 - III. .Hereafter tho articles of clothing issued during the year will be

 ments of the above quoted General Orders. By failing to account fur

 The following Addres.s of the President is \niblishcd for the informa- 
 tion of the army : 
 
 Soldiers of the Armies of the Confederate States : 
 
 In the long and bloody war in which your country is engaged you 
 hiivc achieved many noble triumphs. You have won glorious vic- 
 tories over vastly more numerous hosts. You have cheerfully borne 
 privations and toils to which you were unused. You have readily sub- 
 mitted to restraints upon your individual will, that the citizen might 
 better perform his duty to the state as a soldier. To all these you have 
 lately added another triumph, the noblest of human conquests — a vic- 
 tory over yourselves. 
 
 As the time drew near when you who first entered the service might 
 well have been expected to claim relief from your arduous labors and 
 restoration to the endearments of home, you have heeded only the call 
 of %pur suffering country. Again you come to tender your service for 
 the public defence — a free offering, which only such patriotism as yours 
 could make— a triumph worthy of you, and of the cause to which you 
 are devoted. 
 
 I would in vain attempt adequately to express the emotions with 
 which I received the tcitimonials of confidence and regard which you 
 have recently addressed to mc. To some of those first received, sepa- 
 rate aoknowledgmcnts were returned. But it is now apparent that a 
 like generous enthusiasm pervades the whole army, and that the only 
 exception to ?ui-h magnanimous tender will be of those who, having 
 
20 
 
 originally entered for the war, can not display anew their zeal in the 
 public service. It is, therefore, deemed appropriate, and, it is hoped, 
 will be equally acceptable, to make a general acknowledgment, instead 
 of successive special responses. Would that it were possible to render 
 my thanks to you in person, and in the name of our common country, 
 as well as in my own, while pressing the hand of each war-worn veter- 
 an, to recognize his title to our love, gratitude, Jind admiration. 
 
 Soldiers ! By your will (for you and the people are but one) I have 
 been placed in a position which debars me from sharing your dangers, 
 your sufiFerings, and your privations in the field. AVith pride and affec- 
 tion my heart has accompanied you in every march ; with solicitude it 
 has sought to minister to your every want ; with exultation it has mark- 
 ed your everj' heroic achievement. . Yet, never in the toilsome march, 
 nor in the weary watch, nor in the desperate assault, have you rendered 
 a service so decisive in results as in this last display of the highest 
 qualities of devotion and self-sacrifice which can adorn the character 
 of the warrior-patriot. 
 
 Already the pulse of the whole people beats in unison with yours. 
 Already they compare your spontaneous and unanimous offer of your 
 lives, for the defence of your country, with the halting and reluctant 
 service of the mercenaries who arc purchased by the enemy at the price 
 of higher bounties than have hitherto been known in war. Animated 
 by this contrast, they exhibit cheerful confidence and more resolute 
 bearing. Even the murmurs of the weak and timid, who shrink from 
 the trials which make stronger and firmer your noble natures, are 
 shamed into silence by the spectacle which you present. Your brave 
 battle-cry will ring loud and clear through the land of the enemy, as 
 well as our own ; will silence the vain-glorious boastings of their cor- 
 rupt partisans and their pensioned press, and will do justice to the 
 calumny by which they seek to persuade a deluded people that you are 
 ready to purchase dishonorable safety by degrading submission. 
 
 Soldiers ! The coming spring campaign will open under auspices well 
 calculated to sustain your hopes. Your resolution needed nothing to 
 fortify it. With ranks replenished under the influence of your exam- 
 ple, and by the aid of your representatives, who give earnest of their 
 purpose to add, by legislation, largely to your strength, you may wel- 
 come the invader with a confidence justified by the memory of past 
 Tictories. On the other hand, debt, taxation, repetition of heavy 
 drafts, dissensions, occasioned by the strife for power, by the pursuit of 
 the spoils of office, by the thirst for the plunder of the public treasury — 
 and, above all, the consciousness of a bad caase — must tell with fearful 
 force upon the overstrained energies of the enemy. His campaign in 
 1864 must, from the exhaustion of his resources both in men and money, 
 
21 
 
 be far loss formidable than those of the last two yoara, when unim-- 
 paired means were used with boundless prodigality, and with results 
 which are suggested by the mention of the glorious names of Shiloh, 
 and Porrysville, and Murfreesboro', and Chickamauga, and the Chick- 
 ahominy, and Manassas, and Fredericksburg?, and Chancellorsville. 
 
 Soldiers ! Assured success awaits us in our holy struggle for liberty 
 and independence, and for the preservation of all that renders life de- 
 sirable to honorable men. When that success shall be reached, to you, 
 your country's hope and pride, under Divine Providence, will it be due. 
 The fruits of that success will not be reaped by you alone, but your 
 children, and your children's children, in long generations to como, 
 will enjoy blessings derived from you, that will preserve your memory 
 over-living in their hearts. v-- 
 
 Citizen-defonders of the homos, the liberties, and the altars of the 
 Confederacy ! That the God whom we all humbly worship may shield 
 you with his Fatherly care, and preserve you for safe return to the 
 peaceful enjoyment of your friends and the association of those you 
 most love, is the earnest prayer of your Comiuandcr-in-Chicf.

 the President be and he is hereby authorized, upon the recommendation 
 of any general commanding a department or any army, to discharge 
 from service any nificer of the Confederate States Army, or of tho Pro- 
 visional Army of the Confederate States, who has no command, and 
 can not be assigned to any appropriate duty, or who is' incompetent or 
 inefTicicnt, or who may be absent from his command or duty without 
 leave : provided, that any otfieer who may bo discharged for incom- 
 petency, inefficiency, or absence from his command or duty without

 isting laws, if he demands it of the commanding genoral within thirty 
 days :* provided, further, that it shall not extend to any officer who is

 No. 24. J Richmond. February 25, 1804. 
 
 I. .At a General Court-martial convened at Russolville, Tennessee, by 
 General Orders, No. 21, Adjutant and Inspector-General's ofSco, of 
 January 26, 1864, was arraigned and tried : 
 
 .Brigadier-General J. B. Robertson, of the Provisional Army, on the 
 charge of conduct highly prejudicial to good order and military disci- 
 pline. 
 
 Substance of specification. — The use of language (which is set out) 
 calculated to discourage his regimental commanders, and weaken their 
 confidence in certain movements then in progress, and to create dis- 
 trust in the minds of the troops as to the result of the campaign in 
 which they were engaged. 
 
 II. .Finding and Sentence of the Court. 
 
 The Court find the accused guilty of the specification, with certain 
 qualifications, but express the opinion that his language was not de- 
 signed to weaken the confidence of the officers to whom it was ad- 
 dressed. They also find him guilty of the charge, except the word 
 " highly," and sentence him to be reprimanded. 
 
 III.. The proceedings, findings, and sentence are approved. The 
 absence of a wrong intent does not change the obviously mischievous 
 tendency of the remarks complained of. Officers can not be too care- 
 ful in the expression of their opinions on such occasions; and this 
 caution is the more incumbent in proportion to their rank and influ- 
 ence. Hence, while the department is gratified that the Court has felt 
 warranted in acquitting Brigadier-General Robertson of improper mo- 
 tives, it altogether disapproves his conduct.

 such exemptions shall cease whenever the farmer, planter, or overseer 
 shall fail diligently to employ', in good faith, his own skill, capital, and 
 labor exclusively in the production of grain and provisions, to be sold

 those fixed at the time for like articles by the commissioners of the 
 state under the Impressment act.

 the clKcieut operation of its road, at least once a mouth, to the Secretary 
 of War, or such ofiicer as he may designate for that purpose; and jtro- 
 vided, further, that such president or superintendent shall, in eaoh such 
 monthly report, certify on oath that no person liable to military ser- 
 vice has been employed by hi^ company since the passage of this act,

 tary service: provided, that the exemptions granted under this act shall

 tice, equity, and necessity require such details, and he may revoke such 
 orders of details whenever he thinks proper : provided, that the power 
 herein granted to the President to make details and exemptions shall 
 not be construed to authorize the exemption or detail of any contractor

 contract, unless the head or secretary of the department making such 
 contract shall certify that the personal services of said contractor are 
 indispensable to the execution of the contract: provided, further, that

 I. .The superintendence of the measures necessary for the enrolment, 
 examination, enlistment, assignment, detail, and exemption of all per- 
 sons not belonging to the army, in the states east of the Mississippi 
 river, who are placed in the military service by the above act of Con- 
 gress, is devolved on the Bureau of Conscription ; and all officers and 
 persons assigned or to be employed in the conscription service, or upon 
 other duty imposed upon the bureau, will be subject to its orders, and 
 their various acts and decisions may be revised therein, under the orders 
 and instructions of the War department. 
 
.37 
 
 II. .The Bureau of Conscription, under the orders of the department, 
 will proceed to organize, in every state, efficient agencies for the per- 
 formance of the necessary duties imposed by this order. These agen- 
 cies will consist of a commandant of conscripts in each state, a suitable 
 number of camps of instruction, under the charge of commanders, and 
 enrolling oflicefs, and drill-masters, to be appointed or assigned under 
 acts of Congress or the orders of the War department. The Bureau of 
 Conscription will, by instructions to these officers, designate the duties 
 that they shall perform, the reports that they shall make, and will 
 determine the effect of their certificates and other official evidence they 
 may be required to give. 
 
 In the performance of the duties of making exemptions and details, 
 the Bureau of Conscription maj', from time to time, organize within tho 
 states temporary boards to obtain information and advice relative to tho 
 necessity or propriety of exemptions or details to be granted under tho 
 provisions of the above act of Congress. 
 
 III. .AH applications for exemption or detail under this act, except as 
 hereafter excepted, and except such details as are required for the ser- 
 vice of any of the military bureaus, or for service in any of tho depart- 
 ments of the government, will be made in writing to the enrolling officer 
 of the api)ropriate county or district, and be supported by the affidavit 
 of the applicant and other testimony under oath. The enrolling officer 
 will endorse bis opinion on each and every application, and transmit it 
 to tho commandant of conscripts for his approval, with a certificate or 
 approval If the enrolling officer approve the application, he may grant 
 a certificate of exemption for a period not exceeding sixty days, which 
 shall remain in force for that period unless countermanded by the com- 
 mandant of conscripts. Every applicant for exemption or detail, whoso 
 claim shall bo refused by the enrolling officer and commandant of con- 
 scripts, will be allowed an appeal to tho Bureau of Conscription and the 
 War department. But until the application has been made to the en- 
 rolling Officer and the commandant of conscripts, applications will not 
 be entertained by the War department. 
 
 IV.. Applications for exemptions to insure tho production of- provi- 
 sions for the army and families of soldiers, and for the exemption of over- 
 seers, farmers, or planters, or because their services will be more useful 
 to the public as agriculturists than in the military service, or of persons 
 between the ages of 45 and 50, because justice, equity, or necessity re- 
 quire the detail, or because their employment is neocssarj' to the public, 
 will be m.ade to the enrolling officer in writing, with an affidavit of the 
 person making it, and arcompauied with proof of one or more credible 
 
38 
 
 witnesses. The application should show with precision the conditions 
 of the alleged private or public necessity, advantage, convenience, jus- 
 tice, or equity. Among the facts to be stated are the abilitj' of the party 
 to produce the provision or supply the want or requirement, the con- 
 dition of the family, whether any of the members belong to the army, 
 and whether some person, not liable to military service,' can not be pro- 
 cured to perform the service. If the decision of the local enrolling offi- 
 cer be favorable, he will transmit the same to the commandant of con- 
 scripts for approval, who may, if he approve, grant an exemption or de- 
 tail for sixty days, and endorse his action thereon, which will be transmit- 
 ted to the Bureau of Conscription. The bureau will prepare special in- 
 structions to guide the action of those officers in reference to this class 
 of cases. 
 
 V. .Applications for certificates of exemption under the 3d article, 
 10th section of the act aforesaid, and 6th article of the same section, will 
 be made in all cases to the local enrolling officer, and his certificate must 
 be appi'oved by the congressional district enrolling officer. Applications 
 for exemption under the 5th article of the 10th section, relative to the 
 exemption of officers and agents employed on railroads, may be made 
 directly to the commandant of conscripts for the state, who will grant 
 the certificate of exemption authorized by law, upon compliance with the 
 conditions contained in the act of Congress by the officers therein 
 mentioned. 
 
 VI. .The attention of all officers of the government, and especially of 
 those belonging to the military departments mentioned therein, is di- 
 rected to the language and purport of the 8th section of the act of Con- 
 gress above recited. Congress has manifested, in various enactments, 
 the policy to withdraw from the civil service all persons capable of per- 
 forming duty in the field, and this section of the act is an emphatic dec- 
 laration of that intention, aceompanied with a severe penalty to be 
 imposed upon the officer who may frustrate it. The Bureau of Conscrip- 
 tion will proceed to enroll for duty all persons who may be so employed. 
 But, to prevent the inconvenience and disorder that would follow from 
 the instantaneous execution of the law, details may bo granted until the 
 10th day of April next, for such of those persons as the head of any de- 
 partment, or the chief of any bureau, or the principal officer of the same 
 in any state, shall certify to be necessary for that time to carry on the 
 business in which they are employed. In the meantime, it is made the 
 duty of the officers controlling this class of persons to substitute, as far 
 as practicable, persons who are designated in this act as proper to fill 
 such employments, for those that aremade liable to service by the act. 
 
 VII. . Conscripts unfit for duty in the field, but capable of performing 
 
39 
 
 other duties named in the 8th section of the act recited, will bo received 
 and recommended accordingly bj the board of examiners for conscripts, 
 who, in their reports, will state distinctly for what service, or for which 
 department of the armj', such conscripts are best fitted; and comman- 
 dants of conscripts will assign them in accordance with such recommeu- 
 dation, or, failing to do this, will report for assignment, through the 
 Bureau of Conscription, to the chief or head of the department in which 
 they hare been recommended for service, the names of such conscripts. 
 All certificates of exemption for disability will be signed by the examin- 
 ing board, and be approved by the enrolling oflBcer of the congressional 
 district ; and when the certificate sets forth that the disability is decided 
 and permanent, it will exempt the party from molestation by enrolling 
 oflScers, unless otherwise ordered from the Bureau of Conscription. 
 
 VIII. .The examining boards will forward one copy of the monthly 
 report of conscripts examined, through the enrolling officer of the con- 
 gressional district, to the commandant of conscripts, who will refer the 
 same, with remarks, to the Bureau of Conscription. The boards will 
 also forward one copy direct to the Surgeon-General. 
 
 IX.. Medical officers and employed physicians on examining boards 
 for conscripts will not bo assigned to congressional districts of which 
 they are resident. The employed physicians will receive the pay and 
 allowances of assistant surgeons. 
 
 X. .Medical officers detailed for duty on examining boards for con- 
 scripts will bo directed to report for' orders to the commandant of con- 
 scripts of states. 
 
 XI.. Besides the ofliecrs of tho Confederate and .°tatc govcrumonts 
 particularly named iu tho act of Congress, the oflicora of the government 
 of the Confederate States, whoso nominations have been mado by the 
 President and confirmel by tho Senate, or who have boon appointed by 
 the judges of the district courts under the authority confided by any 
 act of Congress, will be exempted from military service until further 
 orders. Also the judges or justices of any supreme, superior, or circuit 
 court of any state; also the judges of probate, clerk of any court of 
 record, ordinary, sheriOf, one tax-collector in each county, and recorder 
 of deeds and wills, if there be such an officer existing by law, and such 
 other officers of the state provided by law as the goveruor shall certify 
 to be necessary to the proper atlministration of the state government. 
 
 XII.. All persons who have been exempted on account of religious 
 faith, under act of Congress approved 11th of October, 1862, and who 
 
10 
 
 have paid the tax of $500 therein provided for, will be exempt from en- 
 rolment in the military service.

 TO REPEAL AN ACT AMENDATORY THEREOF (APPROVED APRIL 
 TWENTY-SEVENTH, EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE). 
 
 The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That in 
 all cases where property is impressed for the use of the army and navy, 
 or for other public use, under said act, the same shall be paid for at the 
 time of said impressment, unless an appeal shall be taken from said 
 valuation, as hereinafter provided, according to the valuation agreed 
 upon between the parties, or ascertained by loyal and disinterested 
 citizens of the city, county, or parish in which the impressment may be 
 made, in the manner and according to the regulations provided in the 
 first, second, and third sections of the above recited act, or in the 
 eighth section thereof, where it is applicable. 
 
 Sec. 2. Whenever the officer making the impressment of property, 
 under the act hereby amended, shall believe that the appraisement is 
 fair and just, he shall endorse his approval upon the appraisement^ and 
 
5B 
 
 make payment acconliugl.v ; but if he shall boHevo that it is not fair 
 and just, then he shall refuse to approve, and endorse the reasons of his 
 refusal on the certificate, and shall have the right to appeal from the 
 decision of the appraisers, by reporting the case to the commissioners 
 appointed under said act to which this is an amendment, for their de- 
 cision, whoso judgment shall be final ; and in the meantime the prop- 
 erty shall be held and appropriated by the officer impressing the 
 same, who shall give a receipt therefor to the owner, who shall also 
 have the right of appeal as herein provided. 
 
 Sec. 3. The said commissioners shall have power to summon and 
 examine witnesses to enable them to fix the value of property impress- 
 ed, which shall be a just compensation for the property so impressed, at 
 the time and place of impressment ; and when the commissioners shall

 the owner and impressing officer with a statement of such value, which 
 valuation by the commissioners shall be within three months from the 
 time of impressment. 
 
 Skc. 4. That said commissioners shall be sworn faithfully to dis- 
 charge all their duties under this act, and the act to which this is an 
 amendment. 
 
 Sec. 5. That the tenth section of the act of which this is an amend, 
 ment be stricken out, and the following inserted instead thereof: 
 
 "No slave laboring on a farm or plantation, exclusively devoted to 
 the production of grain or provisions, shall be taken for public use, 
 without the consent of the owner, except in case of urgent necessity, 
 and upon the order of the general commanding the department in 
 which said farm or plantation is situated." 
 
 Skc. 6. That the act amendatory of the above recited act (approved 
 April twenty-seventh, eighteen hundred and sixty-three), and so much 
 of the first section of said act as requires an affidavit to be made by 
 the owner or his agent that such property was grown, raised, or pro- 
 duced by said owner, or held, or has been purchased by him, not for 
 sale or speculation, but for his own use or consumption, be and the 
 same is hereby repealed. 
 
 Sec. 7. That no impressment shall be made under this act, or the 
 act to which this is amendatory, for the use or benefit of contractors 
 with the government. 
 
 Sec. 8. Nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the im- 
 pressing officer to enter an appeal from any decision of the local ap- 
 praisers, under the seventh section of the act to which this is amenda- 
 tory. [Approved February 16, 1864.] 
 
 II. .Impressmfnls according to this act, and the net to which this is 
 
54 
 
 an ameudmeut, may be made for necessary supplies for the Confeder- 
 ate armies in the field, and for their accumulation in magazines, and at 
 posts and depots, and to carry on the various operations of the military 
 bureaus connected with the War department, whenever the same can 
 not be obtained by contract. 
 
 ■ III. .They may be made under orders from the generals commanding 
 armies, departments, corps, divisions, and by commanders of detached 
 parties, when a necessity arises therefor. These orders may be exe- 
 cuted by appropriate officers of the staff belonging to the armj'. The 
 chiefs of the various bureaus will designate the officers and person.^ 
 who shall be competent to make impressments under the authority con- 
 ferred upon them. 
 
 IV. .Before any impressment shall be made, the impressing officer or 
 his agent will make an offer to the owner, his baile^e, or agent, in writ- 
 ing, for the purchase of the property, describing the property he 
 wishes to purchase, the price he is willing to pay, and the mode of pay- 
 ment, and stating that, upon a refusal to accept the same, compensation 
 will be made according to the acts of Congress for the regulation of 
 impressments. This notice will be considered as binding the property 
 until the completion of the negotiation for the sale and transfer of the 
 same to the impressing officer. The property will remain in the cus- 
 todj' of the owner and at his risk during the pending of these proceed- 
 ings, unless a delivery of the same be thereupon made to the impress- 
 ing officer, with his consent. In case of a change of possession under 
 these circumstances, the Confederate States will be regarded as the 
 owner, and the property held for its use and at its risk. 
 
 v. .In all cases in which the offer of an impressing officer is refused, 
 he will proceed to adjust the price according to the first section of the 
 act above recited : that is, by the judgment of two loyal and disinter- 
 ested persons of the city, county, or parish in which the impressment 
 may be made — one to be selected by the owner, his bailee, or agent, and 
 one by the impressing officer. In the event of their disagreement, 
 these two will select an umpire of like qualification. The persons thus 
 selected will proceed to assess just compensation for the property so 
 impressed, whether the absolute ownership or the temporary use thereof 
 be required. If the impressing officer believes that the appraisement 
 is fair and just, he will endorse his approval, and pay for the property, 
 and the right in the object impres-ied will become the property of the 
 Confederate States. But if he does not approve of the appraisement, 
 he will decline to approve it, and endcirse the reasons for his refusal on 
 the certificate, and forthwith report the case to the commissioners ap- 
 
pointed under the fifth ?oction of tho act to which ihe act aboro recit- 
 ed is an amendment; and in the meantime the proport}^ will be taken, 
 and a receipt describing the i)ropcrty and the proceedings for the adjust- 
 ment of the price and the appeal, given to the owner. The impressing 
 ofTieor will immediately report the case to the appraisers, with a state- 
 ment of the iiunlitv and condition of the property, and his opinion 
 upon the gnbject. 
 
 VI.. No oflScer or agent will impress the necessary supplies which 
 any per.-jon may have for the consumption of himself, liis family, em- 
 ployees, or slaves, or to carry on his ordinary mechanical, manufactur- 
 ing, or agricuUur.al employments. 
 
 If any question arise as to the fact whether the supplies are neces- 
 sary, or whether there be a surplus, it will be determined by appraiser;! 
 mutually selected according to the preceding section : and in this case 
 the decision of the .appraisers will be binding on the officer, who vvill 
 not be allowed an appeal therefrohj. 
 
 VII.. These regulations are published as a substitute for the regula- 
 tions contained in General Orders, Nos. .S7 and 1(51. series of l?fi.^. 
 
 By order.

 any cause specified within the above recited act. Information of all 
 such arrests will be given to bim bj' the department commander as soon

 advantageously employed : Therefore, 
 
 The Congress of. the ConfcderQ.te States of America do enact, That

 That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized to emploj', for duties 
 similar to those indicated in the preccdin,g section of this act, as many 
 male negro slaves, not to exceed twenty thousand, as in his judgment 
 the wants of the service maj' require, furnishing them, while so em- 
 ployed, with proper rations and clothing, under rules and regulations 
 to be established by him, and paying to the owners of said slaves such 
 wages as may be agreed upon with said owners for their use and ser- 
 vice ; and in the event of the loss of an}' slaves while so employed, by 
 the act of the enemy, or by escape to the enemy, or by death inflicted

 said shaves, then the owners of the same shall bo entitled to ivicoive the 
 
00 
 
 full value of such slaves, to be ascertained by agreement or by appraise- 
 ment, under the law regulating impressments, to be paid under such 
 rules and regulations as the Secretary of War may establish. 
 
 That when the Secretary of AVar shall be unable to procure the ser- 
 vices of slaves in any military department in sufficient numbers for the 
 necessities of the department, upon the terms and conditions set forth 
 in the preceding section, then he is hereby authorized to impress the 
 services of as many male slaves, not to exceed twenty thousand, as may 
 be required, from time to time, to discharge the duties indicated in the 
 first section of thi3 act, according to the laws regulating the impress- 
 ment of slaves in other cases : provided, that slaves so impressed shall, 
 while employed, receive the same rations and clothing, in kind and 
 quantity, as slaves regularly hired from their owners, and in the event 
 of their loss, shall be paid for in the same manner, and under the same 
 rules established by the said impressment laws : provided, that if the 
 owner have but one male slave between the ages of eighteen and fifty, 
 he shall not be impressed against the will of said owner : provided, fur- 
 ther, that free negroes shall be first Impressed, and if there should be a 
 deficiency, it shall be supplied by the impressment of slaves according 
 to the foregoing provisions : 2)rovided, further, that in making the im- 
 pressment not more than one of every five male slaves between the 
 ages of eighteen and forty-five shall be taken from any owner, care be- 
 ing taken to allow in each case a credit for all slaves who may have 
 been already impressed under this act, and who are still in service, or 
 have died, or been lost while in service. And all impressments under 
 this act shall be taken in equal ratio from all owners in the same local- 
 ity, city, county, or district.

 I-.OflScers on inspection duty, while travelling under the immediate' 
 orders of the War department, will be allowed their personal expenses 
 (less the commutation value of one ration per day) in lieu of all allow- 
 ances for fuel, quarters, and forage. Each account must be certified by 
 the officer receiving the payment, and will be paid by any quarter- 
 master. 
 
 II.. Paragraph 166, General Regulations, is not construed to allow 
 certain commanding officers to grant themselves leave. They will not 
 
absent themselves from their commands without authority from this 
 office. 
 
 III. .Paragraph 170, General Regulations, is hereby revoked. Nor 
 will the commander of a post grant leave to an officer, without permis- 
 sion first obtained from the general commanding the army or depart- 
 ment in which the post may be established. 
 
 IV. .Commanding generals, and other commanding officers, are pro- 
 hibited from detaching officers and ordering them to duty or for assign- 
 ment in other commands, or beyond the limits of their departments or

 tion allowance of an officer so detached and ordered without previous 
 authority will be charged to the officer giving the order. 
 
 v.. Until exchanged and reassembled, the officers and men of 
 captured* organizations will be temporarily assigned by the general 
 commanding the department in which the troops have been serving, to 
 deplete organizations in the service, or to such other duty as the com- 
 manding general may direct. To this end, it will be the duty of the 
 officers of the Conscription bureau, in the several states, to return to 
 the general commanding the department in which the troops have last 
 served such officers and soldiers as are now, or may be hereafter, ab- 
 sent from duty on account of the capture of their commands. 
 
 VI. .Paragraph VI, General Orders, No. 13 (current series), is thus 
 amended : 
 
 " In making payments to soldiers upon descriptive lists, officers of the 
 Quartermaster's department will be careful to endorse thereon the 
 amounts paid, and the time for which they have been paid, returning 
 the same to them for delivery to their company commanders. Disburs- 
 ing officers will file with receipts given by soldiers thus paid, a certifi- 
 cate in each case, that the descriptive list was according to prescribed 
 form, dated and subscribed by the officer commanding the company ; 
 that the station of the company was given, and that no money was paid 
 the soldier except that certified by the officer as due from the records of 
 the company. 
 
 VII.. Under" General Orders, No. 142 (1863), the Inspector-General 
 of Field Transportation is charged with impressing and purchasing field 
 transportation for the army. His officers and agents will not be inter- 
 fered with by either officers or soldiers when engaged in discharging

 The following act -of Congress is published for the information of 
 those interested : 
 
 AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE IMPRESSMENT OP MEAT FOR THE USE OF THE 
 ARMY UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. 
 
 The CongrcHs of the Confederate States of America do enact, That 
 whenever the President shall declare that the public exigencies render 
 
73 
 
 it necessary, iinprussiucuts of meat for tbe use of the army may be 
 made from any supplies that may exist in the country, under the ex- 
 press condition that just compensation shall be afforded to the owner of 
 the meat tak«i^ or impressed, and subjoctcd to the following restrictions 
 and limitations : 
 
 Sec. 2. The power to direct such impressment shall be conferred upon 
 the Secretary of War ; hut he shall not reduce the supplies of any per- 
 son below one-half of the quantity usually allowed for the support 
 I. himself, his family, and dependents for the year. Ho shall ex- 
 ercise the said power by orders directed to the ofllcers or agents 
 1)0 may emploj', who shall nave e.xplicit instructions as to the mode 
 of its exoculiou, and injunctions that the same shall not be abused. 
 
 Sec. o. That tliese orders shall direct that a notice shall be given to 
 the owner. of the meat needed, his bailee, or other agent, declarin'g the 
 quantity required, the price offered, the existence of a necessity, and 
 whether possession is to be taken of the same immediately, and with 
 whom the risk of the safe-keeping is to be pending the negotiation, and 
 in what manner the compeu.sation shall be settled in case the offer is not 
 accepted — service of which notice shall be a condition precedent to any 
 impressment or seizure by the impressing oflScer. 
 
 Sec. 4. That upon the service of this notice upon the owner of any 
 meat liable to impressment, the owner shall hold the same, subject to 
 the claim of the Confederate States, and shall be entitled to just 
 compensation according to the provisions of this act ; and if the 
 necessitj- is declared by the impressing officer to be urgent, he shall 
 deliver the possession to the impressing oflRcer upon his demand, 
 who shall give a receipt therefor, as provided in the sixth section of 
 this act. 
 
 Sec. 5. That for the ascertainment of the quantity of meat liable to 
 impressment under this act. and also of just compensation for the same 
 where the owner and the impressing officer can not agree, the impressing 
 officer shall appoint one loyal and disinterested citizen of the county, 
 district, or parish in which the meat impressed shall be at the time of 
 impressment; and the owner of the meat so impressed, his agent, or 
 other bailee, shall appoint another, who sh&U, upon oath, ascertain the 
 quantity liable to impressment, and the value of the same at the date 
 of the notice served upon the party — which oath may be administered 
 by the impressing officer, and which ascertainment of the quantity and 
 value shall be conclusive evidence thereof; and if the assessors can not 
 agree, they may associate with them a third person, of like qualiSca- 
 tions, to make said assessments. 
 
 Sec. 6. That whenever an impressment shall be made under this act 
 it shall be the duty of the impressing officer to give an official certificate, 
 7 
 
74 
 
 showing the quantity taken, the company, battalion, regiment, or other 
 command for whose use it is required, the compensation to be paid, the 
 circumstances of necessity that existed — which certificate shall be evi- 
 dence of a claim against the Confederate States, and shall be pi-omptly 
 paid by the disbursing officer of the command for which the meat was 
 taken, or by the chief of the bureau having charge of disbursements for 
 similar objects. [Approved February 17, 1864.] 
 
 I.. The necessity for the impressment of meat under the above a ' 
 having arisen, in the opinion of the President, these regulations for the 
 exercise of the power of impressment are made, under the authority of 
 the preceding act of Congress, by the Secretary of War. 
 
 II.. The power to make impressment under this act is conferred upon 
 the commanding generals of departments, and of armies in the field, to 
 be exercised by officers specially designated by them for that purpose, 
 and also upon the Chief of the Subsistence department, and such officers 
 of his bureau as he may select. 
 
 II. .When any impressment of meat is required, the impressing offi- 
 cer will require a statement of the supplies on hand, the number of per- 
 sons to be provided for, the length of time for which the provision is 
 made, and will thereupon, if he shall conclude that there is a cause for 
 impressment, proceed to give the notice required by the 3d section of 
 this act. 
 
 IV. .The officer making the impressments will in all eases commence 
 by giving a written or printed notice, which shall express all the par- 
 ticulars contained in the section aforesaid, and he will take care not to 
 
 impress more of the supplies of any owner than the act of Congress 
 
 permits. 
 
 Vi .If any qiwstions should arise as to the quantity of the meat in 
 possession of the owner, or whether a reasonable allowance has been 
 made under the conditions of this act, or in reference to the rate 
 of compensation to bo paid, the difierence will be settled according 
 to the 5th section of the act. The decisions of the arbitrators ap- 
 pointed under this section will be conclusive upon both the impressing 
 officer and the owner, and the settlement will bo made according to the 
 award. 
 
 VI.. A report of all impressments under this act, whether by of- 
 ficers in the field or by officers of the Subsistence department, will 
 b'=^ made to the Chief of the Burean of Subsistence, by the officer mak- 
 ing it. 
 
75 
 
 VII.. The attention of officers in the field, wbo may be required to 
 make impressments under this act, is particularly directed to the condi- 
 tions of the 6th section, and they arc specially directed to conform in 
 all cases to the same. Any deviation from this order •will subject the 
 officers concerned to punishment. 
 
 VIII. .No impressment under this or any other order shall be made 
 of milch cows, or of the breeding stock of any farm or plantation. 
 
 By order. ^

 I. .The enlistment of deserters is a serious evil in the service. The 
 attention of the army is therefore directed to the 22d Article of War, 
 which provides that " No non-commissioned officer or soldier shtiU en- 
 list himself in any other regiment, troop, or company, without a regular 
 discharge from the regiment, troop, or company iu which he last served, 
 on the penalty of being reported a deserter, and suffering accordingly ; 
 .and in case any officer shall knowingly receive and entertain such non- 
 commissioned officer or soldier, or shall not, after his being discovered 
 to be a deserter, immediately confine him, and give notice 4,'acreof to the 
 corps iu which he last served, the said officer sh.iU by a court-martial be 
 cashiered." 
 
 II. .A strict observance of this law, and the arrest and trial of all who 
 violate its injunctions, are required.

 I.. The following schedules of prices for articles named therein, 
 adopted by commissioners appointed pursuant to law, for the State of 
 Viro-inia, ar^ announced for the information of all cou'cerued; and tlt«

 thereto :" 
 
 II. Richmond, March 31, 1864. 
 
 Hon. James A. Seddoti : 
 
 Sir : In reviewing the schedules of prices for April, vfre invited the 
 co-operatiou and aid of Mr. Wm. B. Harrison, and it is just to add 
 that the schedules received the unanimous approval of the commission- 
 ers. We respectfully ofiFer the accompanying schedules, A and B, with 
 the understanding that the prices arc to remain for the month of April 
 unless, in the interval, it should be deemed necessary to modify them. 
 
 The following prices are to be the maximum rates to be paid for the 
 articles impressed, in all cities and usual places, of sale, and when im- 
 pressed on the farms or elsewhere, the same prices are to be paid. 
 
 Under existing circumstances we have deemed it not only just, but 
 most likely to favor increased production, that producers in future 
 should not be required to transport their surplus productions when im- 
 pressed, but that the agents of the government should employ or im- 
 press the neighborhood or county wagons and teams to haul all such 
 articles, and so divide the work between the owners of wagons and 
 teams as to be least prejudicial to those successfully engaged in agricul- 
 ture.

 lu assessing the average value of first-class artillery and wagon horses 
 and mules at $500, we designed that the term should be accepted and 
 acted upon according to its obvious common-sense import. In oth^ 
 words, that they should be selected, and then impressed accordingly as 
 their working qualities and adaptation to army service, together with 
 their intrinsic value, would warrant a judicious purchaser in considering 
 them as coming within the contemplation of the commissioners when 
 they assessed the average value of such horses as the government need- 
 ed at $500. But cases might arise, however, when the public e.x;igencie8 
 would be so urgent as to demand that all horses at hand should be im- 
 pressed. Yet, under ordinary circumstances, when family or extra- 
 blooded horses, or brood mares of admitted hic/h value, are impressed, we 
 respectfully suggest to the Secretary of War to have instructions for- 
 warded to the impressing officers to propose and allow the owners to 
 siibsittiUe in their stead such strong, sound, and .serviceable horses or 
 mules as shall be considered and valued by competent and disinterested 
 parties as first-class artillery horses or first-class wagou mules. 
 
 The term average value per head is in contradistinction to a fi.xed and 
 uniform price for each horse or mule. We supposed that, in impressing 
 a number of horses or mules, whether owned by several persons or one. 
 individual, that some might be estimated at $300, and others at different 
 advanced rates, according to their worth, up as high as $700 — thus 
 making an acerage value or price for a numhcr of good, sound, and 
 efficient horses or mules, $500 each. 
 
 In illustration of our views, we will add, that a horse with only one 
 eye sound might, in all other respects, be classed as a first-class artille- 
 
79 
 
 ry horse, yet Ibc loss of one eye wouKl justly and considerably curtail 
 his value. So a horse from ten to eighteen years of age might be 
 deemed in all other particulars as a first-clas"' artillery horse, but of 
 course, however efficient or able to render good service for a year or so, 
 yet his advanced age would Jiistlj- and materially impair his value. 
 Any horse, however he may approximate the standard of a first-class 
 artillery horse, must, according to deficiencies, fall below the maximum 
 price ; and as few comparatively come up to the standard, and there- 
 fore are entitled to the maximum price, so, of course, in all other in- 
 stances the price should bo proportionately reduced, as imperfections 
 place them below the standard of first-class, etc.

 REVISION OF THE SCHEDULE OF FEBRUARY AND MARCH 
 LAST. 
 Since the adoption of our last schedules for the months of February 
 and March, the finaDcial bills passed by Congress, taxing the currency, 
 have seriously impaired the value of the old issues of Confederate Treas- 
 ury notes. ' At this juncture large numbers of horses and niiiles were 
 impressed and paid for in a currency which was in a few days thereaf- 
 ter to be taxed thirty-three and one- third per cent. 
 
 The board of state ccmmissiiners having adjourned, and one of its 
 mtmbers being out of the state, it could not be convened in time to re- 
 view our schedules of prices. Under this state of facts, we have re- 
 examined and rearranged our tarifi" of prices, so far as we have been 
 advised of recent impressments, proposing, in this mode, to remedy any 
 diminution of valuation which may have resulted from the action of 
 Congress upon the currency. Therefore we assess the average value of 
 artillejy or wagon horses or mules, impressed since the jjassage of the 
 currency bill of the 17th of February last, at £600. This award will 
 entitle each person to receive higher compensation, accordingly as each 
 horse or mule recently impressed may be considered as being a first, 
 second, or third-class artillery or wagon horse or mule, whether the par- 
 ties appeal to our board or not; and the impressing agents and officers 
 should forthwith call on all those persons of whom they impressed 
 horses and mules, and propose a settlement upon the foregoing basis, 
 but allowing to each person only such prices as first, second, and third- 
 class artillery or wagon horses or mules may be estimated at, assuming 
 our average appraisement of $600 as a fair medium valuation. This, 
 then, would allow a maximum price of $800, and a minimum j^riee of 
 $400, making $600 the average price — thus allowing more for first-class 
 horses or mules, and proportionately less for the inferior, as they may 
 fall below the grade of first-class. Payment of whatever amount niaj' 
 be awarded to be made in the old issue of treasury notes as circulated 
 before the 1st of April, or else in the new issue, but with a deduction in 
 such cases of thirty-three and one-thii-d per cent, from the additional 
 sum allowed in each case, E. W. Hubard,

 I.. At the end of each month, monthly inspection reports, in accord- 
 ance with forms last furnished, will be forwarded to this oilice from the 
 head-quarters of the different Confederate States armies. These re- 
 ports to embrace all troops, of all arms, serving with each army. The 
 cover of all documents relating to inspection duties will be marked, on 
 the upper left hand corner, " Inspecting department." 
 
 II.. To secure more full and complete information to this depart- 
 ment, army in.-spcctors will forward, with their own reports, those of 
 corps, division, and brigade inspectors, endorsing the latter with such 
 remarks as will iniiieatc changes which have occurred since previous 
 reports, or give a more clear and full idea of the condition of the army, 
 and the relative efficiency of its different organizations, and their com- 
 manders. 
 
 III. .Thorough inspections, under arms, of nil troops of the armies, 
 will be made by the inspectors of the different commands with which 
 they are respectively serving, as follows: tri-monthly, of brigades; 
 semi-monthly, of divisions; and monthly, of corps. Inspectors at 
 army head-quarters will inspect monthly so much of the army as their 
 other duties will permit, stating in their reports the e.vtent of such per- 
 sonal inspections. To avoid harassing the troops by too frequent in- 
 spections, the ranking insjiectors will inspect, when practicable, at the 
 same time with the subordinate inspectors, and at the stated periods of 
 their inspections. At all inspections the ranking inspector will be ac- 
 compani^ 1 ;ind assisted by bis subordinates of the commands inspect- 
 ed. For example, the corps inspector by the inspectors of the division 
 and of the brigade to be inspected. 
 
 IV. .The requisite inspection blanks will be furnished from this ofTico 
 upon timely requisitions, the reoeii>t of which will I'C acknowledged by 
 army inspectors, who will look to their proper distribution. 
 
 V. .The Commander of each army will have a report of all inspectors 
 serving with it forwarded to this office, giving their names in full, their 
 rank, and the command with which they are serving.

 No. 35, current serief?, which is hereby revoked : Ollicers of the Con- 
 scription bureau will send to the general commanding the army or de- 
 partment in which the commands captured last served, such officers and_ 
 men belonging to them as have titemselvea escaped capture. The general 
 commanding will assign them temporarily to depleted organizations, 
 or such other duty as he may direct. 
 
 VII.. Paragraph II, General Orders, No. 86 (1803), is modified to 
 this extent: The minimum number prescribed by law for a company of 
 infantry is sixty-four ^}c/ya<e« ,- for a company of cavalry, si.xty pr;'- 
 vates, 
 
 VIII. .Soldiers over the age of forty-five years will be discharged 
 from service in the army at the expiration of their present term of en- 
 listment. Those under eighteen years will also be discharged in like 
 manner when the enlistment expires, unless they are at that time 
 liable to conscription. 
 
 IX. .Paragraph IV, General Orders, No. 34, and paragraph I, Gen- 
 eral Orders, No. 37 (1864), are thus modified: Medical examining 
 boards will forward the original applications of olfi cers (who desire to 
 be retired under the act to provide an invalid corps) and their certifi- 
 cates to the general commanding the army or department to which the 
 officers belong. The general commanding will forward them, with an 
 endorsement of his opinion in each case, through the Surgeon-General, 
 to the Adjutant and Inspector-Genera!. Certificates of retirement of 
 officers will be issued only from this office. 
 
 X..A11 authorities heretofore given to raise troops, or to recruit for 
 any particular command, are hereby revoked. 
 
 XI. .The ordnance depot at Savannah (heretofore regarded as a field 
 depot, and under the command of the district commandijr) h.iving as- 
 sumed the proportions of an arsenal, will hereafter bo designated as 
 the " Savannah Arsenal," 'and, like other arsenals, will bo subject to the 
 supervision of the Chief of Ordaance, Richmond, to whom its com- 
 manding officer will report directly. 
 
 XII.. Officers to whom soldiers on detached or detailed duty report 
 will take possession of their descriptive lists, and, in accordance with 
 instructions thereon given, will prepare and certify to the muster-rolls 
 upon which they receive the pay due them. Payments will be made 
 such soldiers, when in the field, at the end of every two months ; when 
 
8H 
 
 at posts, at the euJ of eacli mouth. Upon tlicsc rolls annual settle- 
 ments of clothing accounts may be made with soldiers on detailed duty 
 at posts. 
 
 XIII.. To prevent their detention on their way home, soldiers leav- 
 ing the army on furlough of indulgence will, instead of being furnished 
 with descriptive lists, be paid at their commmds to the close of the 
 month preceding the dates of their furlougln. upon detached rolls, 
 signed by their company commanders. 
 
 XIV. .Sick or wounded men sent to hospitals will be paid as hereto- 
 fore, upon hospital, muster, and pay rolls. Those who, on account of 
 wounds or ill health, are permitted to go to their homos, may be paid 
 upon descriptive lists, by the nearest quartermaster or assistant quar- 
 termaster. 
 
 XV.. When soldiers are ordered to rejoin their commands, officers 
 with whom they have been on duty, surgeons in charge of hospitals of 
 which they have been inmates, and quartermasters and assistant quar- 
 termasters paying those sick and wounded at home, will (after carefully 
 noting upon their descriptive lists payments made to them) return such 
 soldiers their descriptive lists, to be delivered to their company com- 
 mander, and will also transmit, through the general commanding the 
 army to which they belong, duplicates of the same to the latter.

 I. .By the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "An act to im- 
 pose regulations upon the foreign commerce of the Confederate States, 
 and to provide for the common defence," approved February 17, 1864, the 
 exportation of cotton, tobacco, military and naval stores, sugar, mo- 
 lasses, and rice from the Confederate States, except under such uniform 
 regulations as might be made by the President, was prohibited ; and 
 the President was authorized to employ any portion of the military 
 and naval forces of the Confederacy in order to prevent the departure 
 of any vessels or vehicles that might be employed in carrying on a 
 commerce in these articles contrary to law. 
 
 II.. The commanding generals of departments and districts will 
 issue orders and instructions to their officers that, whenever it shall 
 reasonably appear that any vessel or vehicle has been laden, in whole 
 or in part, with any of the said articles, for exportation or conveyance 
 beyond the limits of the Confederacy, or to any place within the Con- 
 federacy nut under the control of their civil or military authorities; 
 and whenever there is reason to believe that any of the articles afore- 
 said have been so laden, or have been collected at any place of deposit 
 with a view to exportation or conveyance beyond the limits or lines 
 aforesaid, to seize and detain the same, with the vehicles, teams, and 
 slaves employed, that investigation may be had according to the con- 
 ditions of the act aforesaid .and these orders, unless the owner or his 
 agent, or bailee, has a permit from a collector of the revenue, or from 
 an officer of this department, who may be authorized to grant such 
 licenses. 
 
 * Increased to a pound, G. 0. No. 45, paragraph X.

 III.. The conditions upon which the trailc by sea or overliinil to 
 Mexico can be carried on, have been determined by the regulations 
 of the President, and any export.'ition or attempt to export any of the 
 articles aforesaid contrary to those regulations, will authorize the deten- 
 tion of the vessel or other instruments of transport. 
 
 IV.. When a deposit of the prohibited articles is made at a point 
 from which easy access to the lines of the enemy can be obtained, or 
 are on a vehicle apparently on the way to their lines, or in the vicinity 
 thereof, or when the owner is not a permanent rcsident-of the place 
 where the .articles are found, and from which they can eagily be trans- 
 ported beyond the lines, or is a auspicious person, detention of the 
 articles and vehicles, for inquiry, will be made. 
 
 v.. All vehicles, animals, slaves, or other means of transportation, 
 and all cotton or other articles that may be seized, whether by the offi- 
 cers of the revenue or by military authorities, for any violation of law 
 or of these regulations, shall be, without any waste, spoliation, impress- 
 ment, or injury of any kind, forthwith conveyed and delivered to the 
 nearest marshal or deputy marshal of the Confederate States, and a 
 detailed receipt taken from him, setting forth a full description of the 
 property seized and delivered to him for safe custody. And it shall bo 
 the duty of said marshal or deputy marshal to keep the property so 
 surrendered in safe custody until the further order of the judge or a 
 commissioner of a district court of the Confederate States having juris- 
 diction of the subject-matter; and the said marshal or deputy mar.shal 
 shall forthwith, upon the receipt by him of the property seized, give in- 
 formation to the collector of the district or to the district attorney, or 
 to both, if practicable, of all the facts in relation to the seizure of the 
 property and its delivery to him for safe-keeping. 
 
 VI.. No military authority shall presume, under any circumstances, 
 to seize property while being carried under the pro^'isions of the law 
 and of these regulations, for any other cause than a violation of said 
 provisions; nor, in case of seizure, to dispose of the property seized in 
 any other manner than that prescribed in the foregoing regulation. 
 But in case where there is great risk of the property falling into the 
 hands of the enemy, it shall be competent for the proper military 
 authorities to require the licensed carrier to suspend his trip till the 
 danger be passed, or to pursue a different route from that originally 
 designated, or even, in cases of imminent danger, to abandon the trip.

 GB^fERAL ORDERS, 1 Adjutant and Inspectob-General'b Office, 
 
 No. 46. J Richmond, May 4, 1864. 
 
 I.. At a General Court-Martial, convened by Special Orders, No. 21, 
 current series, Adjutant and Inspeetor-Gener-il's oltice, was arraigned 
 and tried : 
 
 Miijor-Gencral L. McLaws, P. A. C. S., on the following charge and 
 specifications : 
 
 Charge. — Neglect of duty, to the prejudice of good order and mili- 
 tary discipline. 
 
 Spe' ificntion 1st. — In this: that Major-General L. McLaws, being in 
 command of a division of the Confederate forces near Knoxville, Ten- 
 nessee, and being ordered by his commanding officer, Lieutonaut-Oon- 
 8 
 
!)0 
 
 eral J. Longstreet, to advance his line of sharp-shooters, at dark on the 
 night of the 28th of November, to within good rifle-range of the ene- 
 my's works, 80 as to give his sharp-shooters play upon the enemy behind 
 his works — it lieiug part of n plan of attack that the .sharp-shooters 
 should engage the enemy behind his works along our entire line, while 
 an assault was made upon one of the enemy's forts — did fail to arrange 
 his line of sharp-shooters so as to meet this view^ and did allow a por- 
 tion of the rifle-pits to be sunk under a hill, entirely out of view of 
 the fort aforesaid, thus failing to give iiis assaulting columns the pro- 
 tection of the lire of his sharp-shooters at this point during their 
 advance and attack. 
 
 Spec.ificatiou 2d. — lu this; that the aforesaid Major-Gencral L. 
 McLa>vs, being ordered by his commanding officer, Lieutenant-Gen- 
 eral Longstrcot, to arrange assaulting columns of three of bis bri- 
 gades, and to attack' the enemy's fort at the northwest angle of Lis 
 works, at dawu of day oh the 20tb of November, did fail to organize a 
 select body of men to lead in the assault, as is customary in such 
 attacks, and did allow his three brigades to itdvanec to the attack 
 without definite and .specific instructions for the leading columns, and" 
 ibr the troops to enter the fort, which are cjseutial to succei-s in such 
 attacks. 
 
 SpecijicatioH 'M. — In this: that the aforesaid Major-General L, 
 McLaws, being ordered to assault the enemy's position at the north- 
 west angle of his works, at daylight on the 29th of November, did 
 make his attack ujion a point where the ditch was impassable, and did 
 fail to provide any of his a-saultin.:; columns with ladders or other 
 means of entering the enemy's works, and did fail to inform his 
 officers that the ditch on the west side of the fort was but a slight 
 obstacle to his infantry, and that the fort could be entered from that 
 side with but little delay — thus failing, in the details of his attack, 
 to make the arrangements essential to success. All this near Knox- 
 ville, Tennessee, on or about the 28th and 29th days of November,. 
 1863. 
 
 II. • Findinyx and Sentence of the Court. 
 
 After mature deliberation, the Court find the accused, Major-Gencral 
 L. McLaws, P. A. C. S., as follows : 
 
 Of the 1st Specification : Not Guilty: as, though one part of the line 
 of rifle-pits was out of view of the fort, yet the order requiring the 
 lino of sharp-shooters to be advanced so as to give the assaulting col- 
 umns the protection of their fire, was substantially complied with. 
 
 Of the 2d Specification : Not Guilty: though no select bodies of men 
 were organized to lead in the assault, yet organizations already exists 
 ing were selected for tluil purpose. 
 
91 
 
 Of the 5d Specification : Gnilty of so much of the third specification 
 B8 relates to his not providing means of crossing tho ditch, and in this, 
 of failing, in the details of his attack, to make the arrangements 
 essential to his success. 
 
 or the Charge : Guilty. 
 
 And the Court do, therefore, sentence the accused, the said Major- 
 Qeneral L. McLaws, to he suspended from rank and command for 
 sixty days. 
 
 It is the opinion of the Court that there are many circumstances 
 showu by the evidence which exonerates Major-General L. McLaws 
 from any high degree of criminality in his failurtj to provide the ordi- 
 nary means of crossing the ditch. He had many reasons for consider- 
 ing it a slight one, and was encouraged in this belief by the opinion of 
 those officers in the army whose opinions should have had the most 
 weight with him. The Court acquit Major-General McLaws of any 
 deliberate purpose to fail in any duty devolved upon him ; but it is 
 their opinion that his only fault was in failing to appreciate the full 
 weight, and, they may say, the almost fearful extent, of the responsi- 
 bility resting upon him as the director of an assaulting column. 
 
 .11.. The Court was convened by order of the War department. 
 From the record it appears that the Court adjourned on tho 13th of 
 February, 1864, at Morristowu, to meet at New Market on the 16th of 
 the same month ; and on the same day, in accordance with the sug- 
 gestion of Lieuteuaut-General Lnng.street, reassembled, and in the 
 absence of two members of the Court who had voted at the previous 
 session, and of the accused, adjourned indefinitely. The record fur- 
 ther shows that, after the Court had been organized, a leave of absence 
 was granted for thirty days, by Lieutenant-General Longstreet, to 
 Brigadier-General Humphreys, a member of the Court, under tho 
 direct orders of the AVar department, and an important witness. With- 
 out reference to the merits of the case, these irregularities are fatal to 
 the record. 
 
 III.. The finding of the Court upon the third specification is not 
 sustained by the evidence. The witnesses attest tho fact that the ditch 
 at the northwest angle of the fort, where the atttt,ck was made, was not 
 more than four and a half feet deep by eight to ten feet wide, and that 
 there was no necessity for artificial means to cross it. There could not, 
 therefore, bo guilt in having failed to provide such means. Moreover, 
 tho finding is defective in not responding to the material allegation iu 
 the specification, that the accused "failed to inform his officers that 
 th'b ditch on the west side of the fort was but little obstacle to his 
 infantry, and that the fort coulil l)e easily entered from that side with 
 
92 
 
 but little delay." The Court should have taken cognizance of this 
 allegation, and found upon it either for or against the accused. The 
 finding was easy to be determined, since it appears from the evidence 
 that the ditch on the west side was '•' twelve to thirteen feet deep." 
 There can not be guilt in having omitted to make statements which 
 would not have been true. The allegation in the third specification, 
 that the accused " failed, in the details of attack, to make arrange- 
 ments essential to success," was evidently introduced as a conclusion 
 to previous allegations, and was not issuable in itself. The Court 
 erred in finding upon it; and, moreover, the finding is not sustained by 
 the evidence. 
 
 IV. .The proceedings, finding, and sentence of the Court are disap- 
 proved. Major-General McLaws will at once return to duty with his 
 command. 
 
 v.. The Court-Martial of which Major-General S. B. Buekuer is 
 Presidont i.s hereby dissolved.

 GENERAL ORDERS, "i Adjutant and Inspector-General's Office, 
 
 No. 47. J Richmond, May 6, 1864. 
 
 I.. The following schedules of prices for articles named therein, 
 adopted by commissioners appointed pursuant to law, for the State of 
 Virginia, are announced for the information of all concerned; and the 
 special attention of olficevs and agents of the government is directed 
 thereto : 
 
 KiCHJiOND, Ya., May 4, 1864. 
 Hon. James A. Seddon : 
 
 Sir : In reviewing the schedules of prices for May and June, we invit- 
 ed the co-operation and aid of Mr. Wia. B. Harrison, and it is -just to 
 add that the schedules received the unanimous approval of the com- 
 missioners. 
 
 We respectfully offer the accompanying schedules, A and B, with 
 the understanding that the prices are to remain for the months of May 
 and June, unless, in the interval, it should be deemed necessary to 
 modify them. 
 
 The following prices are to be the maximum rates to be paid for the 
 articles impressed, in all cities and usual places of sale, and when 
 impressed on the farms or elsewhere, the same prices are to be paid. 
 
93 
 
 Under existing circumstances, we have deemed it not only just but 
 most hkely to favor increased production, that producers in future 
 should not be required to transport their surplus productions when 
 impressed, but that the agents of the government should employ or 
 impress the neighborhood or county wagons and teams to haul all 
 such articles, and so divide the work between the owners of wagons 
 and teams, as to bo least prejudicial to those successfully en<ragc(l iu 
 agriculture. . ° *=

III assessing the average value of first-class iirtillery and wagon 
 horses and mules nt $500, wo dosiguod that the torui should be accept- 
 ed and acted upon according' to its obvious common-sense import. Tn 
 other words, that thoy should he selected, and then impressed accord- 
 ingly as their working qualities and adaptation to army service, to- 
 gether with their intrinsic vnhie, would warrant a judicious purchaser 
 in considering them as coming within the contemplation of the com- 
 missioners when they assessed the averngc value of such horses as the 
 government needed at $500. But cases might arise, however, when 
 the public exigencies would be so urgent ns to demand that all horses 
 at hand should be impressed. Yet, under ordinarj' circumstances, when 
 family, or extra blooded-horses, or brood mares of admitted higli value, 
 are impressed, we respectfully euggest to the Secretary of War to have 
 instructions forwarded to the impressing officers to propose and allow 
 the owners to mibstittite in their stead such strong, sound, and service- 
 able horses or mules as shall be considered and valued by competent 
 and disinterested pnrties as first-class artillery horses or first-class 
 wngon mules. 
 
 The term average value per head is in contradistincliou to a fixed 
 and uniform price for each horse or mule. We supi^o^cd 'hat, in im- 
 pressing a ntimber of horses or mules, whether owned by several per- 
 sons or one individual, that sonie might be estimated at $300, and 
 others at dififercnt advanced rates, according to their worth, up as high 
 as $700 — thus making an aveiage value or price for a vnnibev of good, 
 sound, and efficient horses or mules, $500 each.- 
 
 In illustration of our views, we will add that a horse with only one 
 eye sound might, in all other respects, be classed as a first-class artil- 
 lery horse, yet the loss of one eye would justly and considerably cur- 
 tail his value. So a horse from ten to eighteen years of age miglit be 
 deemed, in all other particulars, as a first-class artillery horse, but, of 
 course, however ethcieut or able to render good service for a year or so, 
 yet his advanced age would justly and maleriallj' impair his value. 
 Any horse, however he may approximate the standard of a first-class 
 artillery horse, must, according to deficiencies, fall below the maximum 
 ))ricc ; and as fevv, comparatively, come up to the standard, and there- 
 fore arc entitled to the maximum price, so, of course, in all other 
 instances the price should be proportionately reduced, ns imperfections 
 place them below the standard of first-class, etc.

 REVISION OF THE SCHEDULES OF FEBRUARY AND 
 MARCH LAST. 
 
 Since the ailojition of our last schedules for the months of Feb 
 ruary and March, the fiiiaucial hills passed by Congress, taxing th<' 
 currency, havo seriously impaired the value of the old issues of Con- 
 federate Treasury notes. At this juncture large numbers of horsca 
 and mules were impressed and paid for in a currency which was in & 
 few days thereafter to be ta.ved thirty-three and ouc-third per cent. 
 
 The boara of state commissioners having adjourned, and one of i's 
 members being out of the slate, it could not be convened in timo to 
 review our schedules of prices. Under this state of fact.s, wo have 
 re-examined and rearranged our tariff of prices so far as we have 
 been advised of recent impressments, proposing, in this mode, i-o 
 remedy any diminution of valuation which may havo resulted from 
 tliO action of Congress upon the currency. Therefore wo assess the 
 averaije value of artillery or wagon horses or mules, impressed since 
 the passage of the currency bill of tho 17th of February last, at $600- 
 This award will entitle each person to receive higher compensation, 
 accordingly as each horse or mule recently impressed may be consider- 
 ed as being a first, second, or third-class artillery or wagon horrc n» 
 mule, whether the parties appcal'to our board or not; and the impress- 
 ing agents and officers should forthwith call on all of those persons of 
 whom they impressed horses or mules and propose a settlement upon 
 the. foregoing basis, but allowing to each person only such prices as 
 first, second, and third-class artillery or wagon horses or mules may bo 
 estimated at, assuming our average aiipraiscment of $600 a.s a fair 
 « medium valuation. This, then, would allow a maximum price of $POfi, 
 r--j- and a minimum price of $400, making JifiOO tho average price, thus 
 ■ allowing more for first-class horses or mules, and proportionately le^S 
 for the inferior, .is they may fall below the grade of first-class. Pay- 
 ment of v.hatevcr amount may be awarded to be made in the old iasoo 
 of treasury notes as circulated before the first of April, or else in the 
 new issue, but with a deduction in such cases of thirty-three and ono- 
 third per cent, from the additional sum allowed in each case.

 GENERAL ORDERS,"! Adjutant and Inspector-General's Office, 
 
 No. 48. j Richmond, May 27, 1864. 
 
 I.. The receipts of bonded quartermasters and commissaries, and of 
 agents of tax service, are the only receipts valid to a producer for his 
 tithe tax. All others are worthless, and unjust impositions on the tax- 
 payer. It is strictly forbidden* that any other persons than those above 
 named shall give receipts for the tithe. 
 
 II. .In all cases of collection of tithes by officers of the Quartermas- 
 ter and Commissary departments in the field, receipts will be given 
 monthly to the district quartermaster on tax duty. Such receipts must 
 state the name and county of the producer. ' 
 
 lH. .Quartermasters and commissaries who have means of transpor- 
 tation, and all such ofScers collecting supplies, will give special atten- 
 tion to the removal of the tax in kind from interior depots to railroad 
 stations, and to the supply storehouses of the army. 
 
 IV. .Officers with troops are prohibited from forcibly taking posses- 
 sion of the tax depots or appropriating the tithe. If they need sup- 
 plies, requisitions therefor will be made upon the tax officer or agent. 
 
 v.. Paragraph II, General Orders, No. 107(1863), is amended to pro- 
 vide that if conscripts accepted for field duty, and sent to camps of in- 
 struction, are, upon medical examination, found disqualified for field 
 service, but capable of performing duties named in section 8 of the 
 " act to organize forces to serve during the war," approved February 
 17, 1864, certificates setting forth the ground of disability, and stating 
 the appropriate duties in any of the departments of service for which 
 they are best fitted, will be forwarded, through the Bureau of Conscrip- 
 tion, to the Surgeon-General for approval, and returned to the Superin- 
 tendent of Conscription for final action. 
 
 VI.. Paragraph II, General Orders, No. 6, current series, is amended 
 as follows : 
 
 The decision of this board, if approved by the brigade or district 
 commander, will be final. If not approved, it will be forwarded, " dis- 
 approved," to the division or department bead-quarters for final action, 
 when it will be the duty of the brigade or district ordnance officer to 
 notify the company commander, as required in the paragraph to which 
 this is amendatory. 
 
 VII.. Officers of the Quartermaster's department will return to the 
 quartermaster from whom grain is received the sacks in which it is 
 
99 
 
 contained. Failing to do so, they will be charged one dollar and nine- 
 ty cents for each sack not returned. 
 
 VIII. •Po'fet commanders will inspect the offices of such officers as are 
 prohibited from emploj'iug able-bodied men in their departments or 
 bureaus, and in case of violation of the law, take the action required 
 by the department and district commander in section 9, act of Febru- 
 ary 17, 1864 (General Orders, No. 26, current series). 
 
 IX. .The attention of post commanders is called to the 19th Article 
 of War. The monthly returns therein required will be made directly 
 
 •to this office. The name and rank of every officer at the post, and how 
 and by what authority c.Tch is employed, will be reported, in addition to 
 the other information called for by the printed notes on the forms. 
 Blanks will be furnished from this office, upon requisition of dim- 
 manders.

APPENDIX. 
 
 CIRCULAR. 
 
 Abjctaw* and iKSPBoroR-QMtKBAi's Omox, 
 Richmond, June 4, 1864. 
 
 The following general iustructions are published for the guidance of 
 inspectors in the performance of their duties : 
 
 INSPECTION Oy ARMIES. 
 
 First, report to the commander of the armj' to be inspected, and re- 
 quest his co-operation in so far as it may be necessary to secure facili- 
 ties for making an inspection. Obtain from him such information 
 respecting the condition of his army as he may deem proper to com- 
 municate, and request any suggestions which may lead to the more in- 
 telligent performance of the duty, or call attention to points requiring 
 especial examination and report. Exnniine the oflice records of the 
 army head-quarters, in order to secure a proper understanding of the 
 system of government prevailing in each urmy, and the extent to which 
 it is observed. The inspection of the troops of the different organiza- 
 tions composing the army will be made in the manner herein prescribed 
 for inspectors serving with armies, looking especially to their arma- 
 ment, discipline, drill, and sanitary condition j the relative efiBciency of 
 the different organizations, and the merits of their officers; and where 
 the differences are marked, the causes thereof — as such information, if 
 unprejudiced, may lead to the promotion of the meritorious. As to in- 
 telligent and efficient staff officers properly carrying out the orders and 
 intentions of commanders the success of an army is in a large manner 
 due, their ncquaintance with and faithful performance of the duties 
 pertaining to their respective departments will be critically observed, 
 and where found to bo inefficient or negligent, they will be so reported- 
 All officers with the commands inspected, who are in excess of the 
 number authorized by law and orders, will be reported, with the nature 
 of their duties, and the circumstance of their assignment. 
 
 The supplies pertaining to the different departments being difficult to 
 procure, especial at lontion will be given to the due observBiice of proper 
 
156 
 
 responsibility by the officers of each respectively, seeing that all prop- 
 ertj' is properly preserved, or distributed strictly in accordance with 
 allowances authorized by orders. Learn the sources from whence sup- 
 plies are drawn, their amount and availability for the present and the 
 future, their nature, and tho system under which they are collected. 
 Call attention to any obstacles in the way of their procurement, and 
 suggest any improvements calculated to secure their more prompt, 
 abundant, and economical delivery. 
 
 As impressment is sometimes necessary to secure supplies, and in- 
 justice is occasionally inflicted through the indiscretion or viciousness 
 of agents, impress upon officers resorting to it the importance of soften- 
 ing its rigors by explanations of the law, and the courteous assertion 
 of duty under it, leaving in all instances the certificates required by 
 General Orders, Nos. 30 and 39, Adjutant ahd Inspector-General's 
 office, current series. In passing through neighborhoods where im- 
 pressments have been made, inspectors should listen to all complaints; 
 advise those really aggrieved how, under orders, to redress their wrongs, 
 and note the names of the impressing officers, the amounts impressed, 
 and dates of impressments, with the view to offer comparison, in ex- 
 amining the officers' accounts, of the facts so reported with those ex- 
 hibited by their vouchers. 
 
 DUTIES OF INSPECTORS SERVING WITH ARMIES. 
 
 Inspect troops in the manner prescribed by Article XXX, and for the 
 purposes indicated in paragraphs 459 and 460 of the Army Regula- 
 tions, published by authority of the War department in 1862. 
 
 The number, appearance, and bearing of officers and men present at 
 inspection, and of their arms and accoutrements, should be ascertained, 
 and also that all arms, or parts of arms and accoutrements lost, have 
 been properly accounted for, in accordance with General Orders, No. 
 148, of 1863, and No. 6, current series, from the Adjutant and Inspec- 
 tor-General's office. 
 
 The inspections under arms completed, examine the police of camps, 
 quarters, hospitals, and guard-houses, the number of prisoners in the 
 latter, and the nature of the charges against each ; the messing ar- 
 rangements, and the character and quantity of the rations issued. If 
 troops inspected are artillery or cavalry, see that guns and caissons 
 are properly parked, ammunition chests filled and properly packed, 
 and the ammunition dry and serviceable ; that harness and horse equip- 
 ments are properly cleansed, greased, and placed on racks raised from 
 the ground; the number, character, and condition of the guns, caissons, 
 and horses; and that the latter are properly groomed and fed, and 
 never used except on public service; the number of stables, and their 
 
157 . 
 
 location — which should bo upon dry, sloping ground, and well protected 
 from the northern winds. The samo examination should bo extended 
 to all army transportation, as regards stabling, and the care bestowed 
 npon animals, harness, and vehicles. 
 
 Tho company, regimental, and brigade' records should bo next exam- 
 ined with reference to tho strength, present and absent — reporting by 
 name all olhccrs, and numerically all cnli.sted men, improperly absent 
 from inspection or their commands ; and ascertaining if lists required 
 to be furnished by General Orders, Nos. 125 and 130, of 1863, from tho 
 Adjutant and Inspector-General's olFicc, arc regularly forwarded. 
 
 Observe the correspondence in number of tho rations drawn with 
 that of tho men entitled to draw, actually present with the command. • 
 This correspondence to bo verified by examination of tho brigade re- 
 ports, and the abstract of issues made by the brigade commissary. 
 
 Seo that regimental returns and reports of ordnance are regularly 
 made. Knowing, from inspection, the number of arms in tho hands of 
 tho men inspected, they, with those in charge of the ordnance sergeant, 
 and others accounted for by certificates of boards of survey, should 
 cover the responsibility of the regimental commanders. 
 
 Learn whether the orders issued from the War department, and tho 
 difi"eront head-quarters of the army, are duly promulgated, understood, 
 and observed throughout the commands inspected. 
 
 Examine the medical department with reference to provision made 
 for tho sick, their hospitals, medical supplies, tho sanitary condition of 
 their commands, the elficiency and capability of the medical olficers, 
 and that all required returns and reports are promptly rendered. The 
 property ajjd money accounts of quartermasters and commissaries 
 should next be examined, seeing that they are correct and promptly 
 rendered; that all public property is properly appropriated; that for- 
 age received and issued is ouly given to animals legitimately within tho 
 command, and subsistence only to troops actually present, and that 
 sales to officers are limited to regulation allowance — reporting all irregu- 
 larities, and inefficiency or neglect of duty on the part of ollicers, and 
 all emploj'ees, vehicles, and uuimals in excess over those authorized in 
 orders. 
 
 The ordnance department will be similarly examined. Tho employ- 
 ees in all these departments should be men unfit for active duly iu tho 
 ranks, as far as the nature of the duties to be performed will permit. 
 The number of detailed men employed should be reduced to tho lowest 
 limit, and all supernumeraries and able-bodie.d men be remanded to the 
 ranks. • 
 
 Inspectors will attend drills occa.«ionally, or at stated times, and call 
 upon olficers to put their commands through any movements within Its 
 14 
 
. 158 
 
 school. Lieutenants should understand company, captains and field- 
 officers regimental, and colonels brigade drill, as the casualties of ser- 
 vice freqtiently impose upon officers commands above the grades which 
 they hold. 
 
 Inspectors will frequently ride through and about the neighborhood 
 of their camps, observe the condition of enclosures, private property, 
 crops, etc., etc. ; repress all irregularities or depredations, and where 
 committed, cause prompt indemnity to the injured and punishment of 
 offenders. As troops habitually encamp by brigades, and establish 
 guards for the protection of all neighboring property, and the pi'oserva- 
 tion of order and discipline within their own camps, such irregularities 
 among well organized and disciplined troops rarely occur. 
 
 B«(fore leaving vacated camps, inspectors will ride over the ground 
 encamped upon by the troops, and cause all property left by them to be 
 collected and placed in tho wagons. The regimental quartermaster 
 and ordnance sergeant should be required to do this in each regiment. 
 Do the same witb. all arms, accoutrements, or other property left by 
 stragglers on the line of march, andif left by those of his own command, 
 bring offenders to trial ; or if noi, turn property so collected over to the 
 department to which it pertains. Arms, etc., thus found, will be placed 
 in any wagon, irrespective of commands, most easily reached. Roll- 
 calls and an examination of arms, which should be invariably made in 
 every company at the cotnmencement and at the end of each day's 
 march, would measurably prevent both straggling and the loss of arms, 
 and every inspector should secure within his command the publication 
 of an order enjoining this duty, and look to its strict observance. Ho 
 will pass frequently along the line of march, cause the ranks to be kept 
 properly closed, and all straggler.s, whether of his own or other com- 
 mands, to rejoin their companies ; or if this is impracticable, turn them 
 over to the nearest provost guard, to be marched forward and returned 
 at the end of the march. See that the second officer in rank, with one 
 of the medical officers of each regiment or battalion, is in rear of his 
 command, to preserve order, prevent straggling, and to give written 
 authority to the sick and broken-down to ride in tho wagons or ambu- 
 lances moving with the brigade. 
 
 Note the names of stragglers, and those of their regimental and com- 
 pany commanders, who will be held responsible for their neglect of 
 duty in permitting such irregularity, and required to give their imme- 
 diate attention to ics correction. See thtit staff officers in charge of 
 trains or public property are with their respective trusts, and hold them 
 responsible for all irregularities committed by their employees. 
 
 Preparatory to battle, inspectors will locate their provost guards at 
 eligible points for arresting all stragglers : acquaint themeelvee with tho 
 
159 
 
 localities of the ordnance, supply, and ambulance trains, and of the field 
 hospitals; tho character of the grounds in the vicinity of their com- 
 mands, front and rear, and of all roads to and from tho line of battle, 
 and connecting with the main travelled roads in rear ; the troops sup- 
 porting both flanks; tho position of reserves; tho watchfulness observ- 
 ed by pickets and skirmishers thrown to the front — and report this, and 
 all other information derived from tho examination of prisoners or 
 other sources, which may prove important in aiding his commander in 
 the intelligent porformnnce of his duties. 
 
 In the intervals of tho fight, where practicable, he will cause to bo 
 collected all arms, accoutrements, or other movable property left by • 
 our own men or the enemy, to points in .rear easily accessible for tho 
 wagons. They will keep an account of all captures made by their com-' 
 mands, whether of prisoners or property — sending in a tabular state- 
 ment of the same after the battle, in order that each command may re- 
 ceive due credit for its service ; and cause all property captured or col- 
 lected to be turned over on publio account to tho officers of the depart- 
 ment to which it pertains. 
 
 INSPECTION OF niSTUICTS. 
 
 These inspections involve more general duties than those of an army 
 in the examinations of tho various public interests located at the nume- 
 rous posts, depots, camps of instruction, or other institutions growing 
 out of tho wants of the different departments of the government. In 
 making them, inspectors will give their e!?pecial attention to the follow- 
 ing points: 
 
 The strength, efficiency, and character of tho troops occupying tho 
 different stations inspected-, recollecting the requirements of General 
 Orders, Xo. 26, Adjutant and Inspector-General's offico, current series, 
 while inspecting detailed men and provost guards, the latter usually 
 composing the garrisons of all stations other than posts of a strictly de- 
 fensive character. 
 
 The strength and efficiency of the troops garrisoning fortifications ; 
 the extent and nature of the'defonsive works, and their armament; tho 
 fitness and sulTicicncy of the rimmunition for th6 guns, and the care 
 bestowed upon its preservation ; and that all other supplies necessary 
 to the mninleuance of a vigoroiis and efi"cctive defence are on hand. 
 
 The money and property accounts of all disbursing otlicers within the 
 district inspected, and their prompt rendition at prescribed periods, to 
 the chiefs of departments to which they belong. 
 
 That all public property, wherever found, is properly caret- for, and 
 in charge of responsible agents, and in no instance misapplied. 
 
 That adorjuat© storage is provided for the protection of all storea 
 
160 
 
 collected at depots, and that ■ the suppliea received correspond with 
 amounts invoiced; or if not, the measures adopted to correot the defi- 
 ciency. 
 
 That rations, wherever issued, correspond strictly with the number 
 of men present and entitled to them ; and where this number varies 
 between the regular periods of issue, that any surplus thereby accumu- 
 lated is deducted from the next returns. That impressing officers, 
 where supplies are obtained by impressment, conform strictly to regu- 
 lations and orders governing this system. 
 
 The means adopted by tax officers to collect the tax in kind ; the re« 
 sources of the country within their respective districts, if faithfully and 
 impartially assessed and collected ; the amount of supplies collected 
 and remaining uncollected ; the facilities for their transportation from 
 points of production to the depots, and thence to points of consump- 
 tion ; and the intelligence, integrity, and energy of officers and agenta 
 employed in this duty. 
 
 The authority under which detailed men are acting in the differ- 
 ent departments in the employment of government contractors, and that 
 they are reduced to the lowest number which will accomplish the work 
 to be performed. All supernumeraries to bo reported, in order that 
 they may bo remanded to their commands. 
 
 The arrangements adopted at camps of instruction for the accommo- 
 dation and instruction of conscripts, and for their examination, distri- 
 bution to commands, and exemptions : and the number received, as- 
 signed to duty, or exempted within the year. 
 
 ' The records at conscript agencies; that they show thorough enrol- 
 ments, collection, and examination of all persons of conscript age with- 
 in each district; that the examinations by the medical boards are 
 strict and impartial, and where giving exemptions on account of physi- 
 cal disability, that they act strictly in compliance with regulations 
 and the true interests of tho service. 
 
 The energj' with which conscript officers apprehend and return to 
 their commands all deserters, and olUcers and men improperly absent; 
 and their strictness in enforcing the orders relating to sick, furloughed, 
 or retired officers and men within their districts. 
 
 That registers are kept at each agency of all men of conscript ago, 
 and of all exempted, detailed, furloughed, or retired officers and men 
 within their districts, and the authority under which each is acting. 
 
 The management of hospitals, the number of invalids they receive, 
 return restored to their commands, transfer to other hospitals, or who 
 have died within them during the month preceding inspection. The 
 number and efficiency of officers and men employed at each, the 
 quality and quantity of supplies, and that no rations, other than those 
 
161 
 
 issaed to men in the field, aro allowed within the hospitals, except to 
 the sick, for whose use alone all extra supplies aro designed. 
 
 At depots in rear of the armies, adjuncts thereof, and at which all sur^ 
 plus supplies aro accumulated, shops for repairs are established, and to 
 which unserviceable animals are sent back to recruit; examine the dif« 
 ferent departments, and the efficacy of measures adopted bj each to 
 carry out these various objects. 
 
 To perform ctliciently their duties, inspectors will acquaint them- 
 selves with the regulations and orders governing all branches of the 
 service issued from the War department, or the head-quarters of the 
 army with which they are serving. This knowledge is indispensable, 
 as it is the duty of the inspector to soe that all orders are understood 
 and obeyed by the command with which he is serving, or which he is 
 inspecting. Army regulations, the tactics of different arms of tiro 
 service, and General Orders from Adjutant and Inspector-General's 
 office up to the close of each year, can be purchased at the bookstores. 
 Within the year the orders aro so distributed throughout all the armies 
 as to be accessible to all. Tho regulations of the different departments 
 arc usually to be found in the hands of their officers in each brigade. 
 
 Inspections are intended to secure greater efficiency throughout the 
 service, in procuring the strict observance of orders, the correction of 
 abuses, and in bringing to the notice of tho authorities the merits and 
 demerits of all military officers and organizations, and such other in- 
 formation as will acquaint them with tho condition of tho different 
 commands, and enable them to act advisedly in making any changes 
 necessary for the advancement of the public interests. 
 
 Inspectors, while critically inspecting each command with a view to* 
 full information respecting its condition, should be exceedingly cau- 
 tious in forming their opinions — which should bo based upon reliable 
 facts and personal observation. They will look only to tho public in- 
 terest in making their reports. Patience, courtesy, and firmness should 
 characterize their performance of duty in every position, with a strict 
 avoidance of all action approaching a "detective" character. While 
 their reports are to be strictly confidential, except in so far as the au- 
 thorities to whom they are made may deem it expedient to discloao 
 them, all inspections, and tho relations between the inspector and the 
 inspected, must bo perfectly ingenuous, impartial, and soldierly. 
 By order.
