In case of equality of ranks by virtue of a brevet commission, reference is had to commissions not brevet. 6. Officers having brevets or commissions of a prior date to those of the corps in which they serve, will take place on courts-martial or of inquiry, and on boards detailed for military purposes, when composed of different corps, according to the ranks given them in their brevets or former commissions ; but in the regiment, corps, or company to which such officers belong, they shall do duty and take rank, both in courts and on boards as aforesaid, which shall be composed of their own corps, according to the commissions by which they are there mustered. 1st.

An officer not having orders from competent authority, cannot put !b himself on / by virtue of his commission alone. 9. Brevet rank takes effect only in the following cases: 1st, by special assignment of the President in commands composed of different corps; 3d, on courts-martial or of inquiry, and on boards detailed for military purposes, when composed of different corps. Troops are on detachment only when sent out temporarily to perform a special service. 10. In regularly constituted commands, as garrisons, posts, depart- ments, companies, battalions, regiments, corps, brigades, divisions, army corps, or the army itself, b*evet rank cannot be exercised except by special assignment. 11. The officers of engineers are not to assume nor to be ordered on any duty beyond the line of their immediate profession, except by the special order of the President. 12. An officer of the Medical Department cannot exercise command except in his own department, or over enlisted men, as a commissioned officer. 13. Officers of the Quartermasters or Subsistence Departments, though eligible to command according to the rank they hold in the army of the Confederate States, not subject to the orders of a junior officer, shall not assume the command of troops unless put on duty under orders which specially so direct by authority of the Presi- dent. ARTICLE III. SUCCESSION IN COMMAND OR DUTY. 14. The functions assigned to any officer in these regulations by title of office devolve on the officer acting in his place, except as specially ex- cepted. 15.

An officer in n temporary command shall not, except in urgent cases, alter or annul the standing orders of the regular or permanent commander, without authority from the next higher commander. APPOINTMENTS, RESIGNATIONS, AC. 3 ARTICLE IV. APPOINTMENT AND PROMOTION OF COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. 18. All vacancies in established regiments and corps to the rank of Jolonel, shall be filled by promotion according to seniority, except in !j Bsea of disability or other incompetency. 19. Promotions to the rank of Captain shall be made regimentally, to ill Major, and Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel, according to the arm, as D fun try, cavalry, &c; and in the Staff' Departments, and in the Engi- neers and other corps, according to corps. 20. Appointments above the rank of Colonel will be made by selec- tion from the army. 21. Cadets appointed under Confederate law, shall be assigned to such duties, governed by exigencies of the service, as will best promote their military experience and improvement, until a military school shall be established by the Government for their instruction. 22. Whenever the public service may require the appointment of any citizen to the army, D board of officers will be instituted, before which the applicant will appear for examination into his physical ability, moral character, attainments and general fitness for the service. If the board report in favor of the applicant, he will be deemed eligible for a com- mission in the arm}'. ARTICLE V. RESIGNATION OF OFFICERS. 23. No officer will be considered out of service on the tender of his resignation, until it shall have been duly accepted by the proper au- thority. 24. Resignations will bo forwarded by the commanding officer to the Adjutant and Inspector-General of the army for decision at the War Department. 25. Resignations tendered under charges, when forwarded by any commander, will always be accompanied by a copy of the charges; or, in the absence of written charges, by a report of the case, for the infor- mation of the Secretary of War. 26. Before presenting the resignation of any officer, the Adjutant and Inspector-General will ascertain and report to the War Department tho state of such officer's accounts of money, as well as of public property. for which he may have been responsible. 27. In time of war. or with an army in the field, resignations shall take effect within thirty days from the date of the order of acceptance. 28. Leaves of absence will not be granted by commanding officers to officers on tendering their resignation, unless the resignation be uncon- ditional aud immediate. ARTICLE VI. EXCHANGE OR TRANSFER OF OFFICERS. 20. The transfer of officers from one regiment or corps to another, will be made only by the War Department, on the mutual application of the parties desiring the exchange. 30. An officer shall not be transferred from one regiment or corps to 4 APPOINTMENTS, FORTIFICATIONS, AC. another, with prejudice to the rank of any officer of the regiment or corps to which he is transferred. ARTICLE VII. APPOINTMENTS ON THE STAFF. 31. General Officers appoint their own Aides-de-camp. 32. Officers on duty as Brigadier and Major General, by virtue of Brevet Commissions, may, with the speoial sanction of the War De- partment, be allowed the Aids-de-Camp of the grades corresponding to their brevets ; but without such sanction, the number and rate of pay of the Aids will be regulated according to the lineal grade of the General. 33. An officer of a mounted corps shall not be' separated from his regiment, except for duty connected with his particular arm. 34. The senior Lieutenant present, holding the appointment of As- sistant Commissary of Subsistence, is entitled to perform the duties. ARTICLE VIII. DISTRIBUTION OF THE TROOPS. 35. The military geographical departments will be established by the War Department. In time of peace, brigades or divisions will not be formed, nor the stations of the troops changed, without authority from the War Department. % ARTICLE IX. CARE OF FORTIFICATIONS. 36. No person shall be permitted to walk upon any of the slopes of a fortification, except the ramps and glacis. If, in any case, it be necessary to provide for crossing them, it should be done by placing wooden steps or stairs against the slopes. The occasional walking of persons on a parapet will do no harm, provided it be not allowed to cut the surface into paths. 37. No cattle, horses, or other animal shall ever be permitted to go upon the slopes, the ramparts, of the parapets, nor upon the glacis, ex- cept within fenced limits, which should not approach the crest nearer than 30 feet, 38. All grassed surfaces, excepting the glacis, will be carefully and frequently mowed, (except in dry weather,) and the oftener the better, while growing rapidly — the grass being never allowed to be more than a few inches high. In order to cut the grass even and close, upon small slopes, a light one-handed scythe should be used ; and in mowing the steep slopes, the mower should stand on a light ladder resting against the slope, and not upon the grass. Crops of hay may be cut on the glacis: or, if fenced, it may be used as pasture, otherwise it should be treated as other slopes of the fortification. On all the slopes, spots of dead grass will be cut out and replaced by fresh sod. All weeds will be eradi- cated. 39. The burning of grass upon any portion of a fortification is strictly forbiilden. 40. Particular attention is required to prevent the formation of gul- lies in the parade, terreplein, and ramps, and especially in slopes where grass is not well established. 41. Earth, sand or ashes, must not be placed against wood work; a FORTIFICATIONS, AC. D free ventilation must be preserved around it ; and all wooden floors, platforms, bridges, &c, will be kept clean swept. 42. The machinery of draw bridges, gates, and posterns must be kept in good working order by proper cleaning and oiling of the parts ; the bridges will be raised, and the gates and posterns opened as often as once a week. 43. The terrepleins of forts, the floors of casemates, caponniers, store- rooms, barracks, galleries, posterns, magazines, &c, and the side-walks in front of quarters, as well as other walks, are sometimes paved with brick or stones, or formed of concrete. These surfaces must be preserved from injury with great care. In transporting guns and carriages, and in mounting them, strong way-planks will be used, and neither the wheels nor any other part of the carriages, nor any machinery, such as shears, gins, &c, nor any handspike or other implements, will be allowed to touch those surfaces. Unless protected in a similar manner, no wheel- barrow, or vehicle, or barrel, shall be rolled on said surfaces. No vio- lent work will be done, nor any heavy weight suffered, to fall upon them. In using machines, as gins, &.C., in casemates, care must be taken not to injure the arch, or ceiling, or floors. Neglect of these precautions may cause injuries apparently slight, but serious in effect, from leaking of water into masonry, casemates, &c. 44. The doors and windows of all store rooms and unoccupied case- mates, quarters, barracks, &c, will be opened several times a week for thorough ventilation. 45. Masonry shot-furnaces will be heated only on the approach of an enemy. For ordinary practice with hot shot, iron furnaces are provided. A(\. The foregoing matters involve but little expense; the labor is within the means of every garrison, and no technical knowledge is re- quired beyond what will be found among soldiers. Other repairs re- quiring small disbursements, such as repainting exposed wood or iron work, can be also executed by the garrison ; but reports, estimates, and requisitions, may be necessary to obtain the materials. 47. No alteration will be made in any fortification, or in any build- ing whatever belonging to it, nor in any building or work of any kind ; nor will any building or work of earth, masonry, or timber, be erected withiu the fortification, or on its exterior, within half a mile, except under the superintendence of the Engineer Department, and by authority of the Secretary of War. ARTICLE X. CARK OF ARMAMENT OF FORTIFICATION'S. 48. At each permanent post with a fixed battery, and garrisoned by not more than one company, there will be kept mounted for purposes of instruction and target practice, three heavy guns; and at posts garri- soned by more than one company, at the rate of two for each of the com- panies composing its garrison. The other guns dismounted will be pro- perly placed within their own traverse circles, and the carriages pre- served from the weather. 49. All guns should be sponged clean, and their vents examined to see that they are clear. The chassis should be traversed and left in a different position, the top carriage moved backward and forward, and (5 ARTILLERY PRACTICE. left alternately over the front and rear transoms of the chassis ; the ele- vating screws or machines wiped clean, worked and oiled if required, and the nuts of all bolts screwed up tight. This should all be done reg- ularly once in every week. 50. When tarpaulins, or pent houses, are placed over the guns, they should be removed once a week when the weather is fair, the carriages and guns brushed off, and if damp, allowed to dry. 51. An old sponge staff and head, should be used for drill. The new sponges should never be used unless the gun is fired. The implements should be kept in stores, under cover, and be examined, wiped clean, or brushed at least once a month. In case of leather equipments, due care should be taken for their preservation, by the use of oil, but never using varnish. 52. Magazines should be frequently examined to see that the powder is well preserved. They should be opened every other day, when the air is dry and clear. Barrels of powder should be turned and rolled occasionally. Under ordinary circumstances, only a few cartridges should be kept filled. If the paper body if the cartridge becomes soft, or loses its sizing, it is certain that the magazine is very damp, and means should be found to improve the ventilation. Cartridge bags may be kept in the magazine ready for filling ; also port-fires, fuses, tubes and primers. Stands of grape, cannister, and wads, for [barbette guns should be kept in store with the implements. In casemate guns, wads may be hung in bundles, and grape and cannister near the guns. Shot, well lacquered and clean, may be placed in piles near the guns. ARTICLE XI. ARriLLERY PRACTICE. 53. At all posts with fixed batteries, the position of every gun, mounted or to be mounted, will have its number, and this number be placed on the gun when in position. 54. For every such work a post-book of record will be kept, under the direction of the commander of the post, in which will be duly enter- ed, the number of each mounted gun, its calibre, weight, names of founder, and its inspector, and other marks: the description of its car- riage and date of reception at the post ; where from, and the greatest field of fire of the gun in its position. 55. Every commander of a fort, or other fixed battery, will, before entering on artillery practice, carefully reconnoitre, and cause to be sketched for his record book, the water channels, with their soundings and other approaches to the work. Bouys or marks will be placed at the extreme and intermediate ranges of the guns, and these marks be numerically noted on the sketch. A buoy at every five hundred yards may suffice. 56. At the time of practice a distinct and careful note will be made for the record-book, of every shot or shell that may be thrown, desig- nating the guns fiied by their numbers, the charges of powder used, the time of flight of shots and shells, the ranges and-ricochets, and the posi- tions of guns in respect to the horizontal and vertical lines. 57. The time of flight of a shell may be noted with sufficient accuracy by a stop-watch, or by counting the beats (previously ascertaining their REGIMENTS. 7 value) of other watches, and the range may sometimes be computed by the time of flight. Other modes ascertaining the range will readily occur to officers of science. 58. When charged shells with fuzes are thrown, the time of bursting will be noted. If they are intended to fall on land, only a blowing charge will be given ta the shells, so that they may be picked up for further use. 59. On filling from the barrel, the proof range of powder will be marked on the cartridges. 60. The general objects of jbis practice are, to give to officers and men the ready and effective use of batteries ; to preserve on record the more important results for the benefit of the same, or future command- ers, and to ascertain the efficiency yf guns and carriages. 61. The commanders of field artillery will also keep registers of their practice, so that not a shut or shell shall be thrown in the army, for in- struction, without distinct objects, such as range, accuracy of aim, num- ber of ricochets, time of bursting in the case of shells, &o. 62. The issue of blank cartridges for the drill and instruction of the light artillery companies will be authorized in such quantities as may be necessary, on requisitions duly approved by the proper department. 63. For artillery there will be three annual periods of practice in firing, viz: in April, June and October. At the termination of each period the commanding officers of posts will transmit to the Adjutant- Geueral full reports of the results. 64. To determine accuracy in firing shot and shell, butts or targets will be used. If no natural butt presents itself, targets will be erected. 65. As practice in gunnery is a heavy expense, commanders of com- panies, and their immediate superiors, are charged with the.strict execu- tion of the foregoing details; and all officers on inspection duty will re- .port, through the proper channels, upon such execution. ARTICLE XII. REGIMENTS. 66. On the organization of a regiment, companies receive a permanent designation bj' letters beginning with A, and the officers are assigned to companies; ; afterward, company officers succeed to companies, as pro- moted to fill vacancies. Companies take place in the battalion accord- ing to the rank of their captains. 67. Captains must serve with their companies. Though subject to the temporary details oi service, as for courts-martial, military boards, &c, they shall not be detailed for any duty which may separate them for any considerable time from their companies. 68. The commander of a regiment will appoint the adjutant from the subalterns of the regiment. He will nominate the regimental quarter- master to the Secretary of War for appointment, if approved. He will appoint the non-commissioned staff of the regiment; and, upon the re- commendation of the company commander, the sergeants and corporals of companies. 69. In cases of vacancy, and till a decision can be had from regimental headquarters, the company commanders may make temporary appoint- ments of non-commissioned officers. O aEGIMENTS. 70. Commanders of regiments are enjoined to avail themselves of every opportunity of instructing both officers and men in the exercise and man- agement of field artillery; and all & .inlanders ought to encourage use- ful occupations, and manly exerc' 08, and diversions among their men, and to repress dissipation and immorality. 71. It is enjoined upon all officers to he cautious in reproving non- commissioned officers in the presence or hearing of privates, lest their authority be weakened; and non-commissioned officers are not to be sent to the guard-room and mixed with privates during confinement, but be considered as placed in arrest, except in aggravated cases, where escape may be apprehended. • 72. Non-commissioned officers may be reduced to the ranks by the sentence of a court-martial, or by order of the commander of the regi- ment on the application of the company commander. If reduced to the ranks by garrsion courts, at posts not the headquarters of the regiment, the company commander will immediately forward a transcript of the order to the regimental commander. 73. Every non-commissioned officer shall be furnished with a certifi- cate or warrant of his rank, signed by the colonel and countersigned by the adjutant. Blank warrants are furnished from the Adjutant-Gene- ral's office. The first, or orderly sergeant, will be selected by the captain from the sergeants. 74. When it is desired to have bands of music for regiments, there will be allowed for each, sixteen privates to act as musicians, in addi- tion to the chief musicians authorized by law, provided, the total num- ber of privates in the regiment, including the band, does not exceed the legal standard. 75. The musicians of the band will, for the time being, be dropped from the company muster-rolls, but they will be instructed as soldiers, and liable to serve in the ranks on any occasion. They will be mustered in a separate squad under the chief musician, with the non-commission- ed stall, and be included in the aggregate in all regimental returns. 70. When a regiment occupies several stations, the band will be kept at the headquarters, provided troops (one or more companies) be serving there. The field music belonging to companies not stationed at regi- mental headquarters, will not be separated from their respective com- panies. 77. No man, unless be be a carpenter, joiner, carriage -maker, black- smith, saddler, or harness maker, will be mustered as an "artificer." 78. Every article, excepting arms and accoutrements, belonging to the regiment, is to be marked with the number and name of the regi- ment. 79. Such articles as belong to companies are to be marked with the letter of the company, and number and name of the regiment ; and such as belong to men, with their individual numbers, and the letter of the company. 80.

ARTICLE XIII. COMTANIES. 82. The captain will cause the men of the company to be numbered, in a regular series, including the non-commissioned officers, and divided into four squads, each to be put under the charge of a non-commissioned officer. 83. Each subaltern officer will be charged with a squad for the super- vision of its order and cleanliness; and captains will require their lieu- tenants to assist them in the performance of all company duties. 84. As far as practicable, the men of each squad will be quartered together. 85.

Each relief, before mounting, is inspected by the commander of the guard or of its post. The Corporal reports to him, and presents the old relief on its return. 388. The countersign, or watchword, is given to such persons as are entitled to pass during the night, and to officers, non-commissioned offi- cers, and sentinels of the guard. Interior guards receive the Counter- sign only when ordered by the commander of the troops. 389. The parole is imparted to such officers only as have a right to visit the guards, and to make the grand rounds ; «ar,d to officers com- manding guards. 390. A« soon as the new guard has been marched off, the officer of the day will repair tu the office of the commanding officer and report for orders. 42 GUARDS. 391. The officer of tlie day must see that the officer of the guard is furnished with the parol and countersign before retreat. 392. The officer of the day visits the guards during the day at Buoh times as lie may deem necessary, and makes his rounds at night at Least once after li! o'clock. 393. Upon being relieved, the officer of the day will make such re- maks in the report of the officer of the guard as circumstances require, and present the same at Lead quarters. 394. Commanders of guards leaving their posts to visit their senti- nels, or on other duty, are to mention their intention, and the probable time of their absence, to the next in command. 5. The officers are to remain constantly at their guards, except while visiting their sentinels, or necessarily engaged elsewhere on their proper duty. . .Neither officers nor soldiers arc to take off their clothing or accoutrements while they are on guard. 397. The officer of the guard must see that the countersign is duly communicated to the sentinels a little before twilight. 398. When a lire breaks out, or any alarm is raised in a garrison, all guards are to he immediately under arms. I. Inexperienced officers arc put on guard as supernumeraries, for the purpose of instruction. 400. Sentinels will not take orders or allow themselves to lie relieved, except by an officer or non-commissioned officer of their gunrd or party, the officer of the day, or the commandiug officer : in which ease the orders will be immediately notified to the commander of the guard ly the officer giving them. 401. Sentinels will report every breaoh of orders or regulations they are instructed tn enforce. 402. Sentinels must keep themselves on the alert, observing every thin- that takes place wilh'm Bight and hearing of their p08t. They will carry their arms habitually at support, or on cither shoulder, hut will never quit them. In wet weather, if there be no sentry-box, they will secure arms. 403. No sentinel shall quit his post or hold conversation not neees- sarv to the proper discharge of his dot}'. 104. All persons, ol whatever rank in the service, are required to observe re: peol toward sentinels. 15. lo case of disorder, a sentinel must call out the guard; and if a lire take place, he must cry — " Fiir .'" adding the number Of his post. It in either case the danger be great, he must discharge his firelock be- fore calling out. 406. It is the duty of a Bentinel to repeat all calls made from posts more distant from the main body of the guard than his own, and no sentinel will he posted so distant as not to hi' heard by the guard, tither directly "i- through other sentinels. 407. Sentinels will present arms to general and field officers, to the ind to the ( roanding officer of the post. To all , .I he,- officers they will carry arms. 40K When a sentinel in his sen try-box sees an officer approaching. he will stand at attention, and as the officer passes will salute him, by GUARDS. 43 bringing the left hand briskly to the musket, as high as the right shoulder. 409. The sentinel at any post of the guard, when he sees any body of troops, or an officer entitled to compliment, approach, must call " Turn out the guard!''' and announce who approaches, 41d. Guards do not turn out as a matter of compliment after sunset; but sentinels will, when officers in uniform approach, paj them pr< per attention, by facing to the proper front, and standing steady at shoul- dered arms. This will be observed until the evening is so far advanced that the sentinels begin challenging. 411. After retreat (or the hour appointed by the commanding officer), until broad daylight, a sentinel challenges every person who approaches him, taking, at the same times the position of arms port, lie will suf- fer no person to come nearer than within reach of bis bayonet, until the person lias given the countersign. ■[['2. A sentinel, in challenging, will call out — " Who comes th< If answered — " Friend, with the countersign" and he be instructed to pass persona with the countersign, fie will reply " Advance friend, with the countersign!" If answered — " Friends!" he will reply. "Halt friends! Advance one,with the countersign !" If answered — "Relief," " Patrol" or " Grand rounds" he will reply — ■" Halt ! Advance, Ser- geant {or Corporal) with the countersign!" and satisfy himself that the party is what it represents itself to be. If he have no authority to pass persons with the countersign, if the wrong countersign be given, or if the persons have not the countersign, he will cause them to stand, and call, " Corporal of the Guard!" II."., In the daytime, when the sentinel before the guard sees the r of the day approach, he will call — " Turn out the guard! oj tlw day." The guard will be paraded, and salute with prcsenie 1 arms. 414. When any person approaches a post of the guard at night, the sentinel before the post, after challenging, causes him to halt until ex- amined by a non-commissioned officer of the guard* If it be the officer of the day, or any other Officer entitled to inspect the guard and to make the rounds, the non-commissioned oilicer will call — " Turn out the guard!" when the guard will be paraded at shouldered arms, and the oilicer of the guard, if ho thinks necessary, may demand the counter- sign and parole. ■H-">. The oilicer of the day, wishing to make the rounds, will tako an escort of a non-commissioned offioer and two men. When the rounds are challenged by a sentinel, the Sergeant will answer — " Grand rounds!" and the sentin d will reply — "Halt, grand rounds .' Advance, Sergeant, with the countersign !'' Upon which the Sergeant advances and gives the countersign. The sentinel will then cry — " Advance rounds!" and stand at a shoulder till they have passed. 4 1G. When the sentinel before the guard challenges, and is answer- ed — " Grand rounds!" he will reply — "Halt, grand rounds! Turn out the guard ; grand rounds!" Upon which the guard will be drawn up at shouldered arms. The oilicer commanding the guard will then order a Sergeant and two men to advance: when within ten paces, the Ser- geant challenges. The Sergeant of the grand round answers — " Grand rounds'' The Sergeant of the guard replies — " Advance, Sergeant, 44 FORM OF GUARD REPORT.

ORGANIZATION OF AN ARMY IN THE FIELD. 461. The formation by divisions is the basis of the organization and administration of armies in the field. 462. A division consists usually of two or throe brigades, either of infantry or cavalry, and troops of other corps in the necessary propor- tion. A 1 rigade is formed of two or more regiments. The first num- ber takes the right. -10 1. Mixed brigades are sometimes formed of infantry ami light cav- alry, especially fur the advance guards. 465. Ah the t: oops arrive at the rendezvous, the general commanding- in chief will organize them into I rigades and divisions, 466. Ill" light cavalry is employed as flankers and partizans, and generally for ail service oul i f the line. 467. Heavy cavalry belongs t" the reserve, and is covered, when ne- iry, io marches, camps, or bivouacs, by light troops, ur infantry of the line. Tbe arrangement of tbe troops on parade nnd in ordei of battle is — 1st, tbe light infantry : 2d, infantry of tbe line: 3d, light cavalrv ; •1th, cavalry of the line; 5tb, henvy cavalry. Tbe troops of tbe artil- lery and engineers are in tbe cei tre ol the brigades, divisions, or corps to which they lire attached ; marines take tbe left uf other infantry; Volunteers and militia take the left of regular troops of tbe same arm, and among themselves, regiments if volunteers or militia of the same arm take pbue by |( t. This arrangement is varied by tbe general commanding in chief, n^ the circumstances of war render expedient. 169, Brigades in divisions, ami divisions in tbe army, are numbered from right to left ; but in reports of military operations, brigades and divisions are designated ly the name of tbe general commanding them. 470. Tbe older of regiments in brigades and of brigades in divisions may bo changed by the commander of tbe division for important rea- sons, smd) as tbe weakness of Bome corps, or to relieve one from march- ing too long at the rear of tbe column. Such changes must he reported to the general commau ling-in chief. 471. The general cnmmandiiig-in-chiof assigns the generals of divi- sions and of brigades to their respective commands, when the assign- ment is not made by tbe Department of War. 472. The general of brigade inspects his troops in detail, by compa- nies, when he takes the command and at the opening of the campaign, CONTRIBUTIONS. — ORDERLIES. 51 and as often as may be necessary to ascertain exactly their condition. The general of division makes similar inspections when he thinks pro- per. At these inspections the generals examine the arms, clothing, equipments, harness, horses, &c. ; direct the necessary repairs, and de- signate the men and horses to remain in depot, or march with the train. 473. Reports of inspections are made by the general of brigade to the general of division, and by the general of division to the general commanding-in-chief. 474. During marches and all active operations, generals of brigade keep themselves exactly informed, by reports of corps and hy their in- spections, of the actual strength of the regiments, so as always, and especially after an engagement, to make accurate returns to the general of division. 475. Staff officers and officers of engineers, and artillery, according to the nature of the service, are assigned to the headquarters of ar- mies and divisions, and detached brigades, by order of the general com- manding-in-chief, when the distribution of these officers lias not been regulated by the War Department. The necessary staff will be assign- ed to commanders of brigades. 470. When an Engineer or other officer is charged with directing an expedition or making a reconnoisance, without having command of the escort, the commander of the escort shall consult him on all the arrange- ments necessary to secure the success of the operation. 477. Staff officers, and commanders of engineers, and artillery, re- port to their immediate commanders the state of the supplies and what- ever concerns the service under their direction, and receive their orders, and communicate to them those they receive from their superiors in their own corps. 47S. The senior officer of engineers, of artillery, and the departments of the general staff serving at the chief headquarters in the field, will transmit to the bureau of his department at Richmond, at the close of the campaign, and such other times as the commander in the field may approve, a lull report of the operations of bis department, and what- ever information to improve its service he may be ab o to furnish. The report of the officer of engineers will embrace plans of military works executed during the campaign, and, in case of siege, a journal of the attack or defense. COXTRiniTTIONS. 479. When the wants of the army absolutely require it, and in other cases, under special instructions from the War Department, the general commanding the army may levy contributions in money or kind on the enemy's country occupied by the troops. No other commander can levy such contributions without written authority from the general com- mandine-in chief. 480. At the opening of a campaign, the commander of an army de- termines and announces in orders the number of orderlies, mounted or foot, for the Generals, and the corps or regiments by which they are to be supplied, and the periods at which they shall be relieved. 481. In marches, the mounted orderlies folbw the Generals, and f>_ DEPOTS — CAMPS. perform the duty of escorts, or marofa with orderlies on foot nt tlie head of the division or brigade. 482. The staff officer who distributes ihe orderlies to their posts sends •with them b note nf the time nnd place nf departure ; those relieved re- ceive a like note from the staff officer nt headquarters. i, Mounted soldiers ore to be employed to carry dispatches only in special nnd urgent ca 484.

Smaller depots arc organized for the divisions and the several arms. They are commanded by officers temporarily disabled for field service, or by other officers when necessary, and comprise, as much as possible, the hospitals and r convalescents. When conveniently placed, they serve as points lor the halting and assembling of detachments. They receive the disabled from tin 1 corps on the march ; and the officers in command of the nd witl) the detachments to the army those at the depots who have become tit for service. . CAMPS. . ("amp is the place where troops are established in tents, in huts, or in bivouac. Cantonments are the inhabited places which ^troops occupy for shelter when not put in barracks. The camping-party is a detachment detailed to prepare a camp. issances should precede the establishment of the camp. I', r a camp * f troops on the march, it is only necessary to tool; to the health and comfort of the troops, the facility of tho communications, the convenience of wood and water, and the resources in provisions and forage. The ground for an intrenched camp, or a camp to cover n country, or one designed to deceive the enemy as to the strength of the army, muBt be selected, and tho camp arranged for the object in tnping-pnrty of a regiment consists of the regimental Quartermaster and Qiiartermaster-iSergeunt, and a porpornl and two men per company. The General deoideB whether the regiments camp separately or together, and whether the police guard shall accompany the camping party, or a larger escort shall he sent. 489. Neither baggage nor led horses are permitted to move with the camping party. I. When the General can send in advance to prepare the camp, he gives his instructions to the chief of the quartermaster's Department, who calls on the regiments lor their cam ping- par ties, ami is accompa- nied, if necessary, by an Engineer to propoge the defences and commu- nications. 491. Tho watering-places are examined, and signals placed at those CAMr OF INFANTRY. Oo tliat are dangerous. Any work required to make them of easier access is done by the police guard or Quartermaster's men. Sentinels, to be relieved by the guards of the regiment when they come up, are placed by the camping-partv over the water if it is scan e, and over the bouses and stores of provisions and forage in the vicinity. 492. If the camping-party does not precede the regiment, the Quar- termaster attends to these things as soon as the regiment readies the camp. 493. On reaching the ground, the infantry form on the color front ; the cavalry in rear of its rump. 494. The Generals establish the troops in camp as rapidly us possible, particularly after long, fatiguing marches. 495. The number of men to be furnished for guards, pickets, and orderlies ; the fatigue parties to be sent for supplies ; the work to he done, and the strength of the working parties ; the time and place for issues ; the hour of marching, &C, are then announced by tho Briga- dier-Generals to the Colonels, and by them t> the Held officers — the Adjutant and Captains formed in front of the regiment, the First Ser- geants taking post behind their Captains. The Adjutant then makes the details, and the First Scrgjants warn the men. The regimental officer of the day forms the picket, ami sends the guards to their posts. The colors are then planted at the centre of the color line, and the arms are stacked on the line; the fatigue parties to procure supplies, and the working parties form in rear of the arms ; the men not on detail pitch the tents. 49G. If the camp is near the cneni3 r , the picket remains under arms until the return of the fatiguj parties, and, if necessary, is reinforced by details from each company. i .497. In the cavalry, each troop moves a little in rear of the point at which its horses are to he seemed, and forms in one rank; the men then dismount ; a detail is made to hold the horses ; the rest stack their arms and iix the picket rope ; after the horses are attended to, the tents are pitched, and each horseman plaees his carbine at the side from tho weather, and hangs his sabre and bridle on it. 498. The standard is then carried to the tent of the Colonel. 499. The terms front, flank, right, left, file, and rank, have the same meaning when applied to camps as to the order of battle. 500. The front of the camp is usually equal to the front of the troops. The tents are arranged in ranks and files. The number of ranks varies with the strength of the companies and the size of the tents. 501. No officer will be allowed to occupy a house, although vieant and on the ground of bis camp, except by permission of the commander of the brigade, who shall report it to the commander of the division. 502. The staff officer charged with establishing the camp will desig- nate the place for the shambles. The offal will be buried. CAMP OF INFANTRV. 503. Eaeb company has its tents in two files, facing on a street per- pendicular to the color line. The width of the street depends on the front of the camp, but si ould not be less than five paces. The interval between the ranks of tents is two paces ; between the files of tents of adjacent companies, two paces ; between regiments, twenty-two paces. 54 « AMI' 01 CAVALRY. 504. Tho color line is ten paces in front of the front rank of tents. The kitchens are twenty ] aces behind the rear rank of company tents ; the non-commissioned Btaff and sutler, twenty paces in rear of the kitchen: the company officers, twenty paces farther in rear ; and the fiehl and Btaff, twenty pact b in rear of the company officers* 505. The company officers are in rear of their respective companies ; the Captains on the right. 506. The Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel are near the centre of tho line of field and staff : the Adjutant, a Major and Surgeon, on the right ; the Quartermaster, a Major ami Assistant Surgeon, on the left. . The police guard is at the centre of the line of the n on -commis- si) ned staff, the tents facing to the front, the stacks of arms on the left. 5. T e ndvanced post of the police guard is about 2C0 paces in front of the color line, and opposite the centre of the regiment, or on the hest ground ; the prisoners' tent about four paces in rear. In a regi- ment of the second line, the advanced post of the police guard is 200 paces in rear of the line of its field and staff. I. The horses of the staff officers and of the baggage train aro twenty five paces in rear of the tents of the field and staff; the wagons are parked on the same line, and the men of the train camped near them. 510. The sinks of the men are 150 paces in front of the color line — those of the officers 100 paces in rear of the train. Both arc concealed by bushes. When convenient, the sinks of the men may be placed in tli" rear or on the flank. A portion of the earth dug out for sinks to be thrown hark occasionally. 511. The front of the camp of a regiment of limO men in two ranks will be 400 paces, or one-fifth less paces than the number of files, if the camp is to have the same front OS the troops in order of battle. But the front may he reduced to 190 paces by narrowing the company streets to five paces; and if it be desirable to reduce the front still more, the tents of companies may be pitched in single file — those of a divis- ion facing on the same street. (AMP OF CAVALRY. 512. In tho cavalry, each company has one file of tents — the tents opening on the street facing the left of the camp. 513. The horses of each company are placed in a single file, facing the opening of the tents, and arc fastened to pickets planted firmly in the ground, from three to six paces from the tents of the troops. 514. The interval between the file of tents should he such that, tho regimen! being broken into column of companies, each company should be on the extention of the line on which the horses are to be picketed. 515. The streets separating the squadrons are wider than those between the companies by the interval separating squadrons in line; these intervals are kept free from any obstruction throughout the camp. 51G. The horses of the rear rank are placed on the left of those of their file leaders. 517. The horses of the Lieutenants are placed on the right of their platoons ; those of the Captains on the right of the company. 518. Each horse occupies a space of about two paces.

The Colonel's tent 30 paces in the rear of the Captains', near the centre of the regiment; the Lieutenant-Colonel on his right; the Adjutant on his left; the Majors on the same line, opposite the second COmpfthy on the right and left ; the Surgeon on the left of the Adjutant. 523. The field and staff have their horses on the left of their tents on the same line with the company horses ; sick horses are placed in line on the right or left of the camp. The men who attend them ha\ a separate file of tents ; the forges and wagons in rear of this file. The ! irses of the train and of camp-followers are in one or mere files extending to the rer>r, behind the right or left squadron. The advanced post of the police guard is 200 puces in front, opposite the centre of the regiment ; the horses in one or two files. 524. The sinks for the men are 150 paces in front — those for officers, 100 paces in the rear of the cams. CAMP OF ARTILLERY. 525.— The artillery is encamped near the troops to which it is attached, so uo'tlo be protected from attack, and to contribute to the defense of the camp. Sentinels for the park are furnished by the artillery, and, wdien necessary, by the other troops. 526. For a battery of six pieces, the tents are in three files — one for each section; distance between the ranks of tents, 15 paces; tents opening to the front. The horses of each section are picketed in one file, 10 paces to the left of the file of tents. In the horse artillery, or if the number of horses makes it necessary, the horses are in two files, on the right and left of the file of tents. The kitchens are 25 paces in front of the front rank of tents. The tents of the officers are in the outside files of company tents, 2"» paces in the rear of the rear rank — the Captain on the right, the Lieutenants on the left. 527. The park is opposite the centre of the camp, 40 paces in rear of the officer's tents. The carriages in files four paces apart : distance between ranks of carriages sufficient for the horses when harnessed to them; the park guard is 25 paces in rear of the park. The sinks for the men, 150 paces in front ; for the officers, 100 paces in the rear. The harness is in the tents of the men. BIVOUACS. 528. A regiment of cavalry being in order of battle, in rear of the ground to be occupied, the Colonel breaks it by platoons to the right. The horses of each platoon are placed in a single row, and fastened as prescribed for camps ; near the enemy, they remain saddled all nijrht, with slackened girths. The arms are at first stacked in r ear of each row of horses ; the sabres, with the bridles bung on them' are placed against the stacks. . A.NTONMENTS. 529. The forage is placed en the right "f each row of horses. Two Btable-guards for each platoon watch the hi 530. A fire for each plato >n is m ide near the color lino, 20 par tli.i left of the row of horses. A shelter is made for the men around the fire, if possible, and each man then stands his arms and hridlo against the Bhelter. 531. ' 'he tires and shelter for the officers are placed in rear of the lino of those for the irrn. 532. Tlie intervals between the squadrons must he without obstruc- tion throughout the whole depth of the bivouac. 533. The interval between the shelter-; should be such that the pla- toons can take up a line of battle freely to the front or rear. 534. The distance from the enemy decides the manner in which the horses are to he fed and led to water. When it is permitted to unsad- dle, the Baddies are placed in the rear of the horses. 535. In infantry, the fires are made in rear of the color line, on tho ground that would he occupied hy the tents in camp. The companies are placed around them, and, it possible, construct shelters. When liable to surprise, the infantry should stand to arms at daybreak, and the cavalry mount until the return of the reconnoitering parties. If the arms are to be taken apart to clean, it must be done by detach- ments, successively. CANTONMENTS. 530. The cavalry should be placed under shelter whenever the dis- tance from the enemy, and from the ground where the troops are to form for battle, permit it. Taverns and farm-houses, with large stables and free access, are Bel ec ted R»r quartering them. t 537. Tjje Colonel indicates the place of assembling in ease of alarm. It should generally be outside the cantonment ; the egress from it should be free, the retreat upon the other positions secure, and roads leading to it on the side of the enemy obstructed. 538. The necessary orders being given, as in establishing a camp, the picket and grand guards are posted. A sentinel may be placed on a steeple or high house, and then the troops are marched to the quarters. The men sleep in the stables, if it is thought necessary. 539. The above applies in the main to infantry. Near the enemy, companies or platoons should he collected, as much as possible, in the same houses. If companies must be separated, they should be divided by platoons or squads. All take arms at daybreak. 540. When cavalry and infantry canton together, tho latter furnish the guards by night, and the former by day. oil. Troops cantoned in presence of the enemy, should be covered by advanced guards and natural or artificial obstacles. Cantonments taken during a cessation of hostilities, should be established in rear of a line of defence, and in front of the point on which the troops would concentrate to receive an attack. The General commandingMn-ohief assigns the limits of their cantonments to the divisions, the comman- ders of divisions to brigades, and the commanders of brigades post their regiments. The position for each corps in case of attack is care- fully pointed out by the Generals. HEADQUARTERS — ISSUES. 57 HEADQUARTERS- 542. Generals take post at the centre of their commands, on the main channels of communication. If troops bivouac in presence of the enemy, the Generals bivouac with them. MILITARY EXERCISES. 543. When troops remain in camp or cantonment many days, the Colonels require them to be exercised in the school of the battalion and Bquadron. Regiments and brigades encamped by division are not united for drills without the permission of the General of division. The troops must not lie exercised at the firings without the authority of the General commanding in-chief. The practice of the drums must never begin with the "general," or the "march of the regiment;" nor the trumpets with the sound " to horse." The hour for practice is always announced. ORDERS. 544. In the field, verbal orders and important sealed orders are car- ried by officers, and, if possible, by staff officers. When orders are carried by orderlies, the place and time of departure will be marked on them, and place and time of delivery on the receipt. PISPATCHES. 545. Dispatches, particularly for distant corps, should be entrusted only to officers to whom their contents can be confided. In a country occupied by the enemy, the bearer of dispatches should be accompanied by at least two of the best mounted men ; should avoid towns and vil- lages, and the main roads ; rest as little as possible, and only at out-of- the-way places. Where there is danger, he should send one of the men in advance, and be always ready to destroy his dispatches. He shoul I be adroit in answering questions about the army, and not be intimi- dated by threats. WATCHWORDS. 540. The parole and countersign are issued daily from the principal headquarters of the command. The countersign is given to the senti- nels and noncommissioned officers of the gu.irds ; the parole to the commissioned officers of guards. The parole is usually the name of a General; the countersign of a battle. 547. When the parole and countersign cannot be communicated daily to a post or detachment which ought to use the same as the main body, a series of words may lie sent for some days in advance. 54S. If the countersign is lost, or one of the guard deserts with it, the commander on the spot will substitute another, and report the case at once to the proper superior, that immediate notice may be given to headquarters. ISSUES. 549. At what time and for what period issues are made, must depend on circumstances, and be regulated in orders. When an army is not moving, rations are generally issued for four days at a time. Issues to the companies of a regiment, and the fatigues to receive them, are su- 58 ROSTER. perintended by an officer detailed from the regiment. Issues are made from one end of the line to the other, beginning on the right and left alternately. An issue commenced on one regiment will nut be inter- rupted for another entitled to precedence if it had been in place. THE ROSTER, OR DETAILS FOR SERVICE. 550. The duties performed by detail are of three classes, 'i^hc first class comprises, 1st, grand guards and outposts : 2d, interior guards, as of magazine, hospital, &c; 3d, orderlies ; 4th, police guards. The second class comprises, 1st, detachments to protect laborers on military works, as field-works, communications, &o-; 2d, working par- ties on such works ; 3d, detachments to protect fatigues. The third class are all fatigues, without arms, in or out of camp. In the cavalry, stable-guards form a separate roster, and count before fatigue. 551. The rosters are distinct for each class. Officers are named on them in the order of rank. The details are taken in succession in the order of the roster, beginning at tho head. 552. Lieutenants form one roster, and First and Second Lieutenants are entered on it alternately. The senior First Lieutenant is the first on the roster; the senior Second Lieutenant is the second, &o. Tho Captains form one roster, and are exempt from fatigues, except to su- perintend issues. A Captain commanding a battalion temporarily is exempt from detail, and duty falling to him passes. Lieutenant- Colonels and Majors are on one roster. They may be detailed for duties of the first and second classes, when the importance of the guards and detachments requires it. Their roster is kept at division and brigade headquarters. In the company, Sergeants, Corporals and privates form distinct rosters. 553. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers take duties of the first class in the order stated, viz: the first for the detail, takes the grand guards ; the next, the interior guards ; the last, the police guards ; and the same rule in regard to the detads and duties of the second class. In the details for the third class, tho senior officer takes the largest party. The party first for detail takes tho service out of camp. 554. When the officer whose tour it is, is not able to take it, or is not present at the hour of marching, the next after him takes it. When a guard has passed tin- chain of sentinels, or an interior guard has reached its post, the officer whose tour it was cannot then take it. He takes the tour of tho officer who has taken his. When an officer is prevented by sickness from taking his tour, it passes. These rules apply equally to non-commissioned officers and soldiers. 555. Duties of tho first and second classes are credited on the roster •when the guards or detachments have passed the chain of sentinels, or an interior guard has reached its post : fatigue duties when the parties have passed the chain or begun the duties in camp. 550- Every officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier on duty of the first class, or who is of the next detail for such duty, takes, when re- lieved, the duty of the second or third class that has fallen to him during that time, unless ho has marched for detachment of more than twenty-four hours. 557. Sjldiers march with knapsacks on all duties of tho first class ; POLICE GUARD. 59 and with arms and equipments complete on all working parties out of the camp, unless otherwise ordered. In the cavalry, horses are packed for all mounted service. 558. In the cavalry, dismounted men, and those whose horses are not in order, are preferred for the detail for dismounted service. Tlioso who are mounted are never employed on those services, if the number of the other class are sufficient. 559. Every non-commissioned officer and soldier in the cavalry de- tailed for dismounted ser\ice must, befrre he marches, take to the First Sergeant of the troop, or Sergeant of his squad, his horse equipments and his valise ready packed. Id case of alarm, the First Sergeant sees that the horses of these men are equipped and led to the rendezvous. 5G0. These rules in regard to the roster apply also to service in gar- rison. POLICE GUARD. 561. In each regiment a police guard is detailed every day, consist- ing of two Sergeants, three Corporals, two drummers, and men enough to furnish the required sentinels and patrols. The men are taken from all the companies, from each in proportion to its strength. The guard is commanded by a Lieutenant, under the supervision of a Captain, as regimental officer of the day. It furnishes ten sentinels at the camp ; one over the arms of the guard ; one at the Colonel's tent ; three on the color front — one of them over the colors ; three, fifty paces in rear of the field officers' tents; and one on each flank, between it and the next regiment. If it is a flank regiment, one mure sentinel is posted on the outer flank. 562. An advanced post is detached from the police guard, composed of a Sergeant, a Corporal, a drummer, and nine men to furnish senti- nels and the guard over the prisoners. The men are first of the guard roster from each company. The men of the advanced post must not leave it under any pretext. Their meals are sent to the post. The ad- vanced post furnishes three sentinels; two a few paces in front of the post, opposite the right and left wing of the regiment, posted so as to see as far as possible to the front, and one over the arms. 563. In the cavalry, dismounted men are emplcyed in preference on the police guard. The mounted men on guard are sent in succession, a part at a time, to groom their horses. The advanced post is always formed of mounted men. 564. In each company, a Corporal has charge of the stable-guard. His tour begins at retreat, and ends at morning stable-call. The stable- guard is large enough to relieve the men on post every two hours. They sleep in their tents, and are called by the Corporal when wanted. At retreat he closes the streets of the camp with cords, or uses other pre- cautions to prevent the escape of loose horses. 565. The officer of the day is charged with the order and cleanliness of the camp; a fatigue is furnished to him when the number of pris- oners is insufficient to clean the camp. He has the calls beaten by the drummer of the guard. 566. The police guard and the advanced post pay the same honors as other guards. They take arms when an armed body approaches. 567. The sentinel over the colors has orders not to permit them to 00 TOLICE (iUARD. be moved, except in presence of an escort ; to let no one touch tliem but the color-bearer, or the Sergeant of the police guard when lie is accompanied by two armed men. 5, The Bentinelfl on the color front permit no soldier to take arms from the stacks, except by order of some officer, or a non-commissioned officer of the guard. The sentinel at the Colonel's tent has orders to warn him, day or night, of any unusual movement in or about the camp. '. The sentinels on the front, Hanks, and rear, sec that no soldier leaves camp with horse or arms, unless conducted by a non-commis- sioned officer. They prevent non-commissioned officers and soldiers from passing out at night, except to go to the sinks, and mark if they re- turn. They arrest, at any time, suspicious persons prowling about the cam]) ; and at night, every one who attempts to enter, even the soldiers of other corps. Arrested persons are sent to the officer of the guard, who sends them, if necessary, to the officer of the day. 570. The sentinels en the front of the advanced post have orders to permit neither non-commissioned officers or soUiiers to pass the line, without reporting at the advanced post; to warn the advanced post of the approach of any armed body, and to arrest all suspicious persons. The Sergeant sends persons so arrested to the officer of the guard, and warns him of the approach of any armed body. 571. The sentinel over the arms at the advanced post guards the prisoners and keeps sight of them, and Buffers no one to converse with them without permission. They arc only permitted to go to the sinks one at a time, and under a sentinel. 572. If any one is to lie paB6ed out of camp at night, the officer of the guard sends him under escort to the advanced post, and the Sergeant of the post has him passed over the chain. 573. At retreat, the office - of the guard has the roll of his guard called, and inspect arms, to see that they are loaded and in order ; and visits the advanced post for the same purpose. The Sergeant of the police guard, accompanied by two armed soldiers, folds the colors and lays them on the trestle in the rear of the arms. He sees that the sut- ler's stores arc closed, and the men leave them, and that the kitchen fires are put out at the appointed hour. 574. The o|]i,>r of the day satisfies himself frequently during tho night of the vigilance of the police guard and advanced post. lie prescribes patrols and rounds to ho made by the officer and Don-com- missioned officers of the guard. The 1 officer of the guard orders them when lie thinks neeessary. Ho visits the sentinels frequently. '. At reveille, the police guard takes arms ; the officer of the guard inspects it and the advanced post. The Sergeant re-plants the colors in place. At retreat and reveille the advanced post takes arms ; the Sergeant makes his report to tho officer of the guard when he visits the ■ 570. When necessary, the camp is covered at night with small out- posts, forming a double chain of sentinels. These posts are under the orders of the commander of the police guard, and are visited by his pat- rols and rounds. 577. The officer of the guard makes his report of his tour of service, including the advanced post, and sends it, after tho guard is marched off, to the officer of the day. POLICE GUARD. 61 578. When the regiment marches, the men of the police guard return to their companies, except those of the ndvaneed post. In the cavalry, at the sound " boot and saddle,'' the officer of the guard semis one-half the men to saddle and pack ; when the regiment assembles, all the men join it. 579. When the camping party precedes the regiment, and the new police guard marches with the camping party, the guard, on reaching the camp, forms in line thirty paces in front of the centre of the ground marked for the regiment. The officer of the guard furnishes the senti- nels required by the commander of the camping party. The advanced post takes its station. 580. The advanced post of the old police guard takes charge of the prisoners on the march, and marches, bayonets fixed, at the centre of the regiment. On reaching the camp, it turns over the prisoners to the new advanced post. 581. The detail for the picket is made daily, after the details for duty of first class, and from the next for detail on t lie roster of that class. It is designed to furnish detachments and guards unexpectedly called for in the twenty-four hours ; k counts as a tour of the first class to those who have marched on detachment or guard, or who have passed the night in bivouac. 582. The officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the picket are at all times dressed and equipped ; the horses are saddled, and knapsacks and valises ready to he put on. 583. Detachments and guards from the picket are taken from the head of the picket roll in each company, and, if possible, equally from each company. The picket of a regiment is composed of a Lieutenant, two Sergeants, four Corporals, a drummer, and about f. rty privates. For a smaller force, the picket is in proportion to the strength of the detachment. 584. Officers and men of the picket who march on detachment or guard before retreat, will be replaced. 585. The picket is assembled by the Adjutant at guard-mounting; it is pouted twelve paces in the rear of the guard, and is inspected by its own commander. When the guard has marched in review, the com- mandant of the picket marches it to the left of the police guard, where it stacks its arms, and is dismissed ; the arms are under charge of the sentinel of the police guard. 58G. The picket is only assembled by the orders of the Colonel or offi- cer of the day. It forms on the left of the police guard. 587. The officer of the day requires the roll of the picket to be called frequently during the day ; the call is sounded from the police guard. At roll-calls ami inspections, infantry pickets assemble with knapsacks on; cavalry on foot. The picket is assembled at retreat; the i fficer has the roll called, and inspects the arms. The pickets sleep in their tents, but without undressing. 588. The picket does not assemble at night except in cases of alarm, or when the whole or a part is to march ; then the officer of the day calls the officers, the latter the non-commissioned officers, and these the men, for which purpose each ascertains the tents of those he is to call; they are assembled without beat of drum or other noise. At night, cavalry pickets assemble mounted. 62 GRAND GUARDS. 580. Pickets rejoin tlicir companies whenever the regiment is under arms for review, drill, march, or battle. GRAND GUARDS AND OTHER OUTPOSTS. 500. Gnind guards are the advanced posts of n camp or cantonment, and should cover the approaches to it. Their Dumber, strength and position are regulated by the commanders of brigades ; in detached corps, by the commanding officer. When it can be, the grand guards of cavalry and infantry are combined, the cavalry furnishing the ad- vanced Bentinels. When the cavalry is weak, the grand guards are in- fantry, but furnished with a few cavalry soldiers, to get and carry in- telligence of the enemy. 591. The strength of a grand guard of a brigade will depend on its object and the strength of the regiments, the nature of tho country, the position of the enemy, and the disposition of the inhabitants. It is usually commanded by a Captain. 592. Under the supervisions of the Generals of Division and Brigade, the grand guards are specially under the direction of a field officer of the day in each brigade. In case of necessity, Captains may be added to the roster of Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors for this detail. 503. .Stall' officers sent from division headquarters to inspect the posts of grand guards, give them orders only in urgent cases, and in the ab- sence of the field officer of the day of the brigade. 594. Grand guards usually mount at the same timo as the other guards, but may mount before daybreak if the General of Brigade thinks it necessary to double the outposts at that time. In this case thej assemble and march without noise, and during their march throw out scouts ; this precaution should always be taken in the first posting of a grand guard. The doubling of guards weakens the corps and fa- tigues the men, and should seldom be resorted U>, and never when pre- paring to march or fight. 595. A grand guard is conducted to its post, in the first instance, by the field officer of the day, guided by a staff officer who accompanied the General in his reconnoisance. After tl c post has been established, the commander sends to the field officer of the day, when necessary, a eoldierof the guard to guide the relieving guard to the post. He also Bends to him in the evening a Corporal or trusty man of the guard for the note containing the parole ana countersign, and sends them before dark to the detached posts, lie will not Buffer his guard to be relieved except by a jruard of the brigade, or by special order-. 596. If there is no pnss to be observed or defended, the grand guards are placed D ar the centre of the ground they are to observe, on shel- tered, and, if possible, high ground, the better to conceal their strength and observe the enemy ; they ought not to be placed near the edge of a wood. When, during the day. thej are placed very near or in sight of the enemy, they fall back at night on posts selected farther to the rear. 597. In broken or in mountainous countries, ami particularly if the inhabitants are ill-disposed, intermediate posts must be established when it is necessary to post the {>rand guard distant from the camp. 18. Grand guards are chiefly to watch the enemy in front; their flanks are protected by each other, and the camps must furnish posts to protect their rear and secure their retreat. GKAND GUARDS. Go 599. Grand guards arc seldom intrenched, and never without the or- ders of the General, except by a barricade or ditch when exposed in a plain to attacks of cavalry. 600- The General of Division, if he thinks proper, changes the sta- tions and orders of these guards, and establishes posts to connect the brigades or protect the exterior flanks. 601. After a grand guard is posted, the first care of the commander and of the field officer of the day is to get news of the enemy ; then to reconnoitre his position, and the mads, bridges, finds, and defiles. This reconnoisance determines the force and position of the small posts and their sentinels day and night. These posts, according to their im- portance, are commanded by officers or non-commissioned officers; the cavalry posts may be relieved even 7 four or eight hours. 602. The commander of a grand guard receives detailed instructions from the General and field officer of the day of the brigade, and in- structs the commanders of the small posts as to their duties and the ar- rangements for the defence or retreat. The commanders of grand guards may, in urgent cases, change the positions of the small posts. If the small posts are to change their positions at night, they wait until the grand guard have got into position and darkness hides their move- ments from the enemy; then march silently and rapidly under the charge of an officer. 603. In detached corps, small posts of picked men are at night sent forward on the roads by which the enemy may attack or turn the posi- tion. They watch the forks of the roads, keep silence, conceal them- selves, light no fires, and often change place. They announce the ap- proach of the enemy by signals agreed upon, and retreat, by routes examined during the da} r , to places selected, and rejoin the guard at daybreak. 604. Grand guards have special orders in each case, and the follow- ing in all cases : to inform the nearest posts and the Held officer of the day, or the General of Brigade, of the march and movements of the enemy, and of the attacks they receive or fear ; to examine every per- son passing near the post, particularly those coming from without; to arrest suspicious persons, and all soldiers and camp-followers who try to pass out without permission, and to send to the General, unless other- wise directed, all country people who come in. 605. All out-guards stand to arms at night on the approach of pat- rols, rounds, or other parties : the sentinel over the arms has orders to call them out. 606. Advanced posts will not take arms for inspection or ceremony when it would expose them to the view of the enemy. 0U7. Grand guards are often charged with the care and working of tel- egraphic signals. 608. The sentinels and videttes are placed on points from which they can see farthest, taking care not to break their connection with each other or with their posts. They are concealed from the enemy as much as possible by walls, or trees, or elevated ground. It is generally even of more advantage not to be seen than to see far. They should not be placed near covers, where the enemy may capture them. 609. A sentinel should always be ready to fire, videttes carry their pistols or carbines in their hands. A sentinel must be sure of the 64 QEAND QUA&DS. presence of an enemy before lie fire- ; once satisfied of that, lie must fire, though all defense on his part be useless, as the safety of the may depend on it. Sentinels fire on all persons deserting to the enemy. 610. If the post must lie where a sentinel i>n it ran not communicate with the guard, n corporal and three men are detached for it, or the sentinels are doubled, that '>ne may communicate with the guard. During the day the communication may he made by Bignals, Buch as raising a cap or handkerchief. At night sentinels are placed on low ground, the better to see objects against the sky. Gil. To lessen the duty of rounds, and keep more men on the alert at night, sentinels are relieved every hour. To prevent sentinels from being surprised, it is sometimes well to precede the countersign by sig- nals, such as striking the musket with tiie hand, striking the hands to- gether, &c. 612. On the approach of any one at night, the sentinel orders — " Hall!" If the order is not obeyed after once repeated, lie fires. If obeyed, he calls — " Who rmati< n he can concerning his post. If many come at night they are received cautiously, a Jew at a time. They are sent in the morning to the field officer of the day, or to the nearest post or camp, to be conducted to the General of the brigade. All suspected persons are searched by com- manders of the posts. 630. When an enemy advances to an attack, unless he is in too great force, or the grand guard is to defend an intrenched post or a defile, it will take positions and execute the movements to check the enemy, act- ing as skirmishers, or fighting in (dose or open order, as may lie best. The guard joins its corps when in line, or when a sufficient number of troops have reached the ground it defends. G6 ENTRBNCELKD POSTS. ENTRENCHED POSTS- 631. Unless the army 1 e acting on the defensive, no post should bo intrenched, except to cover the weak parte of the Hue, or at points which the enemy cannot avoid, or in mountain warfare, or to the of a defile, or to cover winter quarters. 2, Posts connected with the operations of an army are intrenched only by order of the General commanding-in-chief or a General of Di- vision. 033. An}' intrcnchment that requires artillery is considered as a post, and a guard or garrison and commander are assigned to it. 634. The General who establishes an intrenched post gives to its com- mander detailed instructions in regard to its defense, and the circum- stances under which the defense should cease. 635. The commander reconnoiters his post; distributes the troops ; posts (he officers and noncommissioned officers ; forms a reserve ; gives orders for all contingencies he can foresee; supposes an attack, and ar- ranges his troops fur defence, so as to prepare them for an attack, day or night. 630. In dark weather he redonbles his vigilance, and changes tho hours and direction of the rounds and parols. lie permits no flags of truce, deserters or Btrangers to enter. If a flag ought to pass his post, be bandages his eyes. He refuses admittance to a relief or any other party until he has carefullj examined them. In ease of an attack, he does not wait for i rders or hold a council. Having defended his post to the last extremity, or till the purpose of the defense, according to his instructions, is answered, he may then spike his guns and rejoin the army under cover of night, or by cutting his way through the enemy. di:ta( ii.mf.nts. GST. When a detachment is to be formed from the different regiments of a brigade, the Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade assembles it, and turns it over to the commander. 638. When a detachment is to be formed from different brigades, tho Assistant Adjutant-General in each, forms the contingent of the brigade, and sends it to the place of assembling. 639. Detachments are generally formed by taking battalions, squad- rons, companies, platoons in tura, according to the roster for such detail. (i 10. When the detachment is to consist of men from every company or troop, the first on the roster for guard are taken. 641. Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, whose tour itis to go on detachment, if employed otherwise at the time, are relieved from the duty they are on, if they can reach the camp in time to march with the detachment. 642. When detachments meet, the command is regulated while they serve together as if they formed one detachment. But the senior offi- cers cannot prevent the commander of any detachment from moving, when he thinks proper, to execute the orders he has received. 643 On the return of a detachment, the commander reports to the head-quarters from which he received his orders. RECONNOISANCJBS — PARTISANS AND FLANKERS. 67 RECONNOISANCES. 644. Near an enemy, daily reconnoisances nre made to observe the ground in front, and to discover whether the advanced guards of the enemy have heen increased . r put in motion, or any other sign of his preparation for march or action. G45. They are made bj small parties of cavalrv and infantry, from the brigade, under direction of the General of Division or the General of a separate brigade, and to less distance by the pastoral of the grand guard, and are not repeated at the same hour or by the same route. On the plain, reconnoisances are made by cavalry ; among mountains, by infantry, with a few horsemen to carry intelligence. 646. Reeonnoitering parties observe the following precautions: to leave small posts, or sentinels at intervals, to transmit intelligence to the advanced posts of an army, unless the return is to be by a different route; to march with caution, to avoid fighting: and see, if possible, without being seen : to kefp an advanced guard ; to send well mounted men ahead of the advanced guard : and on the flank of the party; to instruct the scouts that no two should enter a defile or mount a hill to- gether, but to go one at a time, while one watches to carry the news if the other is taken. 647. Before daybreak the advanced guard and scouts are drawn closer ; the party then march slowly and silently, stop frequently to listen, and keep the horses that neigh in the rear. The party should enter no wood, defile, village, or inclosure, until it has been fully ex- amined by the scouts. I'lX. Special reconnoisances are made under the instruction of the General in command, by such officers and with such force as he may direct. 649. Offensive or forced reconnoisances are to ascertain with certainty points in the enemv's position, or his strength. They are sometimes preludes to real actions, and sometimes only demonstrations. They drive in his outposts, and sometimes engage special corps ( ,f his line. They are only made by order of the General commandiog-in-chief, or the commander of an isolated corps. G50. In all reports of reconnoisances, the officer making them shall distinguish expressly what he has seen from the accounts he has not been aide to verify personally. 651. In special and offensive reconnnoisances, the report must be ac- companied by a field-sketch of the localities, the dispositions and defen- ces of the enemy. PARTISANS AND FLANKERS. 652. The operations uf partisan corps depend on the nature and theatre of the war ; thay enter into the general plan of operations, and are conducted under the orders of the General commanding-in-chief. 653. The composition and strength of partisan corps and detachment of flankers depend on the object, the difficulties, the distance, and the probable time of the expedition. G.")4. The purpose of these isolated corps is to reconnoitre at a dis- tance on the flanks of the army, to protect its operations, to deceive the enemy, to interrupt his communications, to intercept his couriers and his correspondence, to threaten or destroy his magazines, to carry off 68 MABOHES. his posts and bis oonvojs, W, at all events, to retard his march by making bim detach largely for their protection. 055. While these corps fatigue the enemy nnd embarrass his opera- tinns, they endeavor to inspire confi lence and secure the good will of the inhabitants in a friendly country, and to hold them in cheek in an enemy's country. 656. They move actively, appear unexpectedly on different points, in Buch a manner as ta make it impossible to estimate the : r force, or to tell whether they are irregular forces or an advanced guard. 7. These operations require vigilance, secrecy, energy, and prompt- ness. The partisan commander must frequently supply by stratagem and audacity what he wants in numbers. 3. These detachments are sometimes composed of different arms, but the service belongs more particularly to the light cavalry, which can move to a distance by rapid marches, surprise the enemy, attack unexpectedly, and retire as promptly. G59. Stormy weather, fogs, extreme heat, and the night above all, are favorable to the success of ambuscades ; when the enemy are care- less, the break of day is the best time. A partisan commander should communicate to bis second in command, his secret orders, the direction and object of the expedition, and the different points of junction with the army. GGO. Guides of the country and spies are often necessary to the parti- san. They are examined separately, and confronted if their aci us differ. When there is but one guide, he marches with the advanced guard, guarded by two men, and bound if necessary. Peddlers and BUHlgglers arc specially suitable fur spies. 661. A lit time to attack a convoy is at a halt, or when they begin to park, or when they arc watering, passing a wood or a defile; at a bend of th" road, a bridge or steep ascent, ii'i_'. The attacking party may be principally cavalry, with some in- fantry. The first object is to disperse the escort. A part of the de- tachment attacks the main body of the escort, another the wagons, and a third is in reserve ; skirmishers line the road, and try to cut the traces, and to seize the front and rear wagons, and turn them across the mad, to prevent the train from advancing or retreating. '.. If (he convoy is parked, the cavalry surrounds it, assails the es- cort, and tries to draw it away from the train. Ihe infantry then en- gage the troops remaining at the park, slip under the wagons, and get into the park. When the cavalry is alone and the enemy are shaken, they disni' nut a portion of the men to supply the want of infantry. GG4- If it is a large convoy, the principal attack is made on the cen- tre ; the most valuable wagons are also selected and additional horses arc put to them if the attack is successful. Those that cannot be car- ried oil" arc burned. MARCHES. GG5. The object of the movement and the nature of the ground deter- mine the order of march, the kind of troops in each column, and the number of columns. GGG. The force is divided into as many columns as circumstances per- mit, without weakening any one too much. They ought to preserve MARCHES. 69 their communications, and be within supporting distance of each other. The commander of each column ought to know the strength and direc- tion of the others. 607. The advance and rear guards are usually light troops ; their strength and composition depend on the nature of the ground and the position of the enemy. They serve to cover the movements of the army, and to hold the enemy in check until the General has time to make his arrangements. G68. The advance guard is not always at the head of the column ; in a march to a (lank, it takes such positions us cover the movement. Sappers are attached to the advanced guard if required. 669. The "general," sounded one hour before the time of marching, is the signal to strike tents, to load the wagons, and pack horses, and send them to the place of assembling. The fires are then put out, and care taken to avoid burning straw, &o., or giving to the enemy any other indication of the movement. 670. The "march," will he b at in the infantry, and the "advance" sounded in the cavalry, in succession, as each is to take its place in the column, 671. When the army should form suddenly to meet the enemy, the "ton;/ roll" is beat, and "to hor.se'' sounded. The troops form rapidly in front of their camp. 672. Batteries of artillery and their caissons move with the corps to which they are attached ; the field train ai.d ambulances march at tho rear of the column ; ami the baggage with the rear guard. 073. Cavalry and infantry do not march together, unless the prox- imity of the enemy makes it necessary. 674. In cavalry inarches, when distant from the enemy, each regi- ment, and, if possible, each squadron, forms a separate column, in order to keep up the same gait from front to rear, and to trot, when desirable, on good ground. In such cases, the cavalry may leave camp later, and can give more rest to the horses, and more attention to the shoeing and harness. Horses are not bridled until the time to start. 675. When necessary, the orders specify the rations the men are to carry in tlieir haversacks. The field officers and Captains make inspec- tions frequently during the march ; at halts they examine the knap- Backs, valises and haversacks, and throw away all articles not au- thorized. The officers and non-commissioned officers of cavalry compa- nies attend personally To the packs and girths. 676. When it can he avoided, troops should not he assembled on high roads or other places where they interrupt the communication. 677. Generals of Division and commanders of detached corps send a staff officer to the rendezvous, in advance, to receive the troops, who, on arriving, take their place in the order of battle, and form in closo column, unless otherwise ordered. Artillery, or trains halted on the ron Is, form in file on one side. 07^. The execution of marching orders must not be delayed. If tho commander is not at the head of his troops when they are to march, tho next in rank puts the column in m ition. 679. [f possible, each column is preceded by a detachment of sappers, to remove obstacles to the march, aided, when necessary, by infantry, or the poi pie of the country. The detachment is divided into two sec- 70 MARCHES. lions: one stops to remove the first obstacle, the other moves on to tho next. 680. In night marches, and at bad places, and at cross-roads, when sary, intelligent aon commissi med officers are posted to show tho way. and arc relieved bv the regiments a- they come up. 681. On tlie inarch, r.o one shall fire a gun, or cry "halt," or "march," without orders. 682. Soldiers are not to stop for water; the canteens should be filled before starting. 683. It is better to avoid villages; but if the route lies through thorn, officers and non-commissioned officers are to be vigilent to prevent ling. Halts should not take place at villages. 684. Besides the rear guard, the General sometimes takes a detach- ment from the last legiment, and adds to it non-commissioned officers from each regiment, to examine villages and all hiding-places on the route, to bring up stragglers and seize marauders. 685. In night marches, the Sergeant-Major of each regiment remains at the rear with a drummer, to give notice when darkness 'or difficulty stops the march. In cavalry, a trumpet is placed in rear of each squadron, and the signal repeated to the head of the regiment. 6. The General and field officers frequently stop, or send officers to the rear, to see that the troops march in the prescribed order, and keep their distances. To quicken the march, the General warns the Colo- nels, and may order a signal to be beat. It is repeated in all the regi- ments. 687. In approaching a defile, the Colonels are warned ; they close their regiments as they come up; each regiment passes separately, at an rated pace, and in as close order as possible. The leading regi- ment having passed, and left loom enough for the whole co'umn in ■ order, then halts, and moves again as soon as the last regiment is through. In the cavalry, each squadron, before quickening the pace to rejoin the column, takes its original order of march. I. When the distance from the enemy permits, each regiment, after closing up in front and rear of the defile, stacks arms. I. Halts to rest and rc-f >rm the troops are frequent during the day, depending on the object and length of the march. They are mado in preference after the passage of defiles. 690. No honors are paid by troops on the march or at halts. 691. The Bick march with the wagons. 692. Led horses of officers, and the horses of dismounted men, follow their regiment. The baggage wagons never march in the column. When the General orders the Held train and ambulances to take place in the e ilnmn, he designates the position they shall take. 693. If two corps meet on the sanje road, they pass to the right, and both continue their march, if the road is wide enough ; if it is not. the first in the order of battle takes the road, the other halts. 694. A corps in march must not be cut by another. If two corps meet at cross-roads, that which arrives last halts if the other is in mo- tiii. A corps in march passes a corps at a halt, if it has precedence in the order of battle, or if the halted corps is not ready to move at once. 695. A column that halts to lot another column pass resumes the BATTLES. 71 march in advance of the train of this column. If a column has to pass a train, the train must halt, if necessary, till the column passes. The column which has precedence must yield it if the commander, on seeing the orders of the other, finds it for the interest of the service. battt.es. 696. Dispositions for battle depend en the number, kind, and quality of the troops opposed, on the ground, and on the objects of the war; but the following rules are to be observed generally : 697. In attacking, the advanced guard endeavors to capture the ene- my's outposts, or cut them off from the main hod}-. Having done so, or driven them in, it occupies, in advancing, all the points that can cover or facilitate the march of the army, or secure its retreat, such as bridges, defiles, woods, and heights ; it then makes attacks, to occupy the enemy, without risking too much, and to deceive them as to the march and projects of the army. 698- When the enemy is hidden by a curtain of advanced troops, the commandant of the advanced guard sends scouts, under intelligent offi- cers to the right and left, to ascertain his position and movements. If he does not succeed in this way, he tries to unmask the enemy by demonstrations; threatens to cut the advance from the main body; makes false attacks ; partial and impetuous charges in echelon ; and if all fail, he makes a real attack to accomplish the object. 699. Detachments left by the advanced guard to hold points in the rear, rejoin it when other troops come up. If the army takes a posi- tion, and the advanced guard is separated from it by defiles or heights, the communication is secured by troops drawn from the main body. 700. At proper distance from the enemy, the troops are formed for the attack in several lines; if only two can be formed, some battalions in column are placed behind the wings of the second line. The lines may be formed of troops in column or in order of battle, according to the ground and plan of attack. 701. The advanced guard may be put in the line or on the wings, or other position, to aid the pursuit or cover the retreat. 702. The reserve is formed of the best troops of foot and horse, to complete a victory or make good a retreat. It is placed in the tear of the centre, or chief point of attack or defence. 703. The cavalry should be distributed in echelon on the wings and at the centre, on favorable ground. 704. It should be instructed not to take the gallop until within charging distance; never to receive a charge at a halt, but to meet it, or, if not strong enough, to retire manoeuvring ; and in order to be ready for the pursuit, and prepared against a reverse, or the attacks of the reserve, not to engage all its squadrons at once, but to reserve one third, in column or in echelon, abreast of or in the rear of one of the wings ; this arrangement is better than a second line with intervals. 705. In the attack, the artillery is employed to silence the batteries that protect the position. In the defence, it is better to direct its fire on the advancing troops. In either case, as many pieces are united as possible, the fire of artillery being formidable in proportion to its con- centration. 706. In battles and military operations it is better to assume the (2 BATT offensive, and put the enemy on the defensive ; but to be safe in doing so requires a larger force tbnn the enemy, t>r better t r^ >> 'p-^. and favora- ble ground. When obliged to net <>n the defensive, the advantage i f position and of making the attack may - toured by form- ing in rear of tlie ground on which we are to fight, and advancing at the moment of action. In mountain warfare, the nssailant has always the disadvantage ; and even in offensive warfare, in the open field, it may frequently be very important, when the artillery is well posted, and any advantage of the ground may be secured, to await the enemy and compel him to attack. 7(i7. The attack should be made with a superior force on the defen- sive point of the enemy's position, by marking tliis by false attacks and demonstrations on other points, and "by concealing the troops intended for it by the ground or by other troops in the front. 708. Besides the arrangements which depend on the supposed plan of the enemy, the wings must be protected by the ground, or supported by troops in echelon ; if the -attack of the enemy is repulsed, the offen- sive must at once be taken, to inspire the troops, to disconcert the ene- my, and often to decide the action, In thus taking the offensive, a close column should be pushed rapidly on the wing or Hank of the enemy. The divisions of this column form in the line of battle success- ively, and each division moves to the front as soon as formed, in order, by a rapid attack in echelon, to prevent the enemy from changing front or bringing up his reserves. In till arrangements, especially in those for attacks, it is most important tu conceal the design until the moment of execution, and then to execute it with the greatest rapidity. The night, therefore, is preferred for the movement of tmops on the flunk or rear of the enemy, otherwise it is necessary to mask their march by ji grand movement in front, or by taking a wide circuit, 709. In making an attack, the communications to the rear and for re- treat must be secured, and the General must give beforehand all neces- sary orders to provide for that event. 710. When a Biiccess is gained, the light troops should pursue the enemy promptly atol rapidly. The other troops will restore order in their columns, then advance from position to position, always prepared for an attack or to support the troops engaged. 711. Before the notion, the Generals indicate the places where they will be; if they change position, they give notice of it, ur leave a stuff officer to show where they have gone. 712. During the fight the oilier- and non-commissioned officers keep the men in the ranks, ami enforce obedience if necessary. Soldiers must not be permitted to leave the ranks to strip or rob the dead, nor t > assist the wounded, unless by express permission, which is only to be given after the notion is decided. The highest interest and duty is to will the victory, which only can insure proper care of the wounded. 713. Before the action, the Quartermaster of the division makes all the necessary arrangements for the transportation of the wounded. He establishes the ambulance depots in the rear, and gives his assistants the necessary instruction for the service of the ambulance wagons and other means of removing the wounded. 714 The ambulance depot, to which the wounded are carried or di- rected for immediate treatment, is generally established at the most BATTLE? — PRISONERS OF WAR. 73 convenient building nearest the field of battle. A red flag marks its place, or the way to it, to the conductors of the ambulances and to the wounded who can walk. 715. The active ambulances follow the troops engaged to succor the wounded and remove them to the depots ; for this purpose the conduc- tors should always have the necessary assistants, that the soldiers may have no excuse to leave the ranks for that object. 716. The medical director of the division, after consultation with the Quartermaster-General, distributes the medical officers and hospital attendants at his disposal, to the depots and active ambulances. He will send officers and attendants when practicable, to the active ambu- lances, to relieve the wounded who requiro treatment before being re- moved from the ground. He will see that the depots and ambulances are provided with the necessary apparatus, medicines and stores. He will take post and render his professional services at the principal depot. 717. If the enemy endanger the depot, the Quartermaster takes the orders of the General to remove it or strengthen its guard. 718. The wounded in the depots and the sick are removed as soon as possible to the hospitals that have been established by the Quartermas- ter-General of the army on the flanks or rear of the army. 719. After an action, the officers on ordnance duty collect the muni- tions of war left on the field, and make a return of them to the General. The Quartermaster's Department collects the rest of the public property, captured, and makes the returns to head-quarters. 720. Written reports for the General commanding-in-chief are made bv commandants of regiments, batteries, and separate squadrons, and by all commanders of a higher grade, each in what concerns his own command, and to his immediate commander. 721. When an officer or soldier deserves mention for conduct in ac- tion, a special report shall be made in his case, and the General com- manding-in-chief decides whether to mention him in his report to the government and in his orders. But be shall not be mentioned in the report until he has been mentioned in the orders to the army. These special reports are examined with care by the intermediate command- ers, to verify the facts, and secure commendation and rewards to the meritorious only. 722. The report of battles, which must frequently be made before these special reports of persons are scrutinized, is confined to general praise or blame, and an account of the operations. PRISONERS OF WAR. 723. Prisoners of war will be disarmed and sent to the rear, and re- ported as soon as practicable to the head-quarters. The return of pri- soners from the Head Quarters of the Army to the War Department will specify the number, rank, and corps. 724. The private property of prisoners will be duly respected, and each shall be treated with the regard due to his rank. They are to obey the necessary orders given them. They receive for subsistence one ration each, without regard to rank ; and the wounded are to be treated with the eame care as the wounded of the army. Other allow- 74 CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORTS. nnces to them will depend on conventions with the enemy. Prisoner's korxea will be taken fur the army. 72"<. Exchanges of prisoners and release of officers on parole depend on the orders of the General commanding-in-chief, under the instruc- tions of government. CONVOTS AND THEIR ESCORTS. 72G. The strength and composition of the escort of a convoy depend on the country, the nature and value of the convoy, and the dangers it may incur. A larger escort is required for a convoy of powder, that the defense may not be near the train. 727. Cavalry is employed in escorts chiefly to reconnoitre ; the pro- portion is larger as the country is more open. 728. Pioneers or working parties arc attacked to convoys to mend roads, remove obstacles, and erect defenses. Theconvoysshouldalways be provided with spate wheels, pules, :.xles, &c. 729. The commandant of the escort should receive detailed instruc- tions in writing. 730. As far as the defense permits, the commander of the escort shall refer to the officer in charge of the convoy fir the hours of depar- ture, the halts, the parking and order of the train, and the precautions against accidents. 731. Officers who accompany the convoy, but do not belong to the es- cort, shall exercise no authority in it except by consent of the comman- der. If these officers are junior to the commander, he may assign them to duty if the defense requires it. 732. Large convoys are formed into divisions, each with a conductor. The distance between the wagons is four paces. A small party of in- fantry is attached to each division. 7.;'.. Generally, munitions of war are at the head of the convoy, sub- sistence, next, and then other military stores ; the sutler last. But al- ways that part of the convoy which is most important to the army shall be where it is most secure from danger. 734. The commandant should send out reconnoitering parties, and never put the convoy in motion until their reports have been received. He always forms an advance and rear guard, and keeps the main body under his immediate order at the most important point, with small guards or posts at other points. 735. In an open country the main body marches by the side of the road, opposite the centre of the convoy; in other cases at the head or rear of the column, as the one or the other is more exposed. 730. The advance guard precedes the convoy far enough to remove nil obstacles to its advance. It examines the woods, defiles, and vil- lages, and by mounted men gives information to the commander, and receives his orders. It reconnoitres phces for halts and parks. 737. If the head of the column is threatened, the advanced guard Beiz'S tie ilefiles and places which the enemy might occupy, and holds them until the main body advances to the front and relieves it; the main body holds the positions until the head of the convoy arrives, and then leav '8 detachments, which are relieved by the parties marching with the divisions ; the posts are not abandoned until the whole convoy has passed and the position is no longer important. CONVOYS AND THEIR ESCORTS. 75 738. When the rear is threatened, like measures are taken; the rear guard defends the grounds and retards the enemy by breaking the Bridges and blocking the road. 739. If the flunks are threatened, and the ground is broken, and many defiles are to be passed, the defense of the convoy becomes more diffi- cult ; the advance and rear guards must be reduced, the flanks strength- ened, and positions which will cover the march of the convoy must be occupied by the main body of the troops before the head of the convoy reaches them, and until it has passed. 740. If the convoy is large and has to pass places that the force and position of the enemy make dangerous, the loss of the whole convoy must not be risked ; it must pass by divisions, which reunite after the passage. In this case the greater part of the troops guard the first di- vision ; they seize the important points, and cover them with light troops, or, if necessary, with small posts, and hold them until all the divisions have passed. 741. If there is artillery in the convoy, the commander of the escort uses it for the defense. 742. To move faster and make the defense easier, the wagons move in double file whenever the road allows it. If a wagon breaks, it is at once removed from the road ; when repaired, it takes the rear ; when it cannot be repaired, its load and horses are distributed to some of the other wagons kept in the rear for that purpose. 743. Convoys by water are escorted on the same principles. Each boat has a small infantry guard ; one portion of the escort precedes or follows the convoy in boats. The cavalry march opposite the convoy; the ad- vance and rear guard move by land, and all are connected by flankers with the convoy. Where a river runs through a narrow valley, the body of the infantry moves by land to prevent the enemy from occupying the heights and disturbing the convoy. 744. Convoys halt every hour to let the horses take breath and the wagons close up. Long halts are made but seldom, and only in places that have been reconnoitered and found favorable for defence. At night the park is arranged for defence, and in preference at a distance from inhabited places if in an enemy's country. 745. The wagons are usually parked in ranks, axle against axle, the poles in the same direction, and with sufficient space between the ranks for the horses. If an attack is feared, they are parked in square, the himl wheels outside, and the horses inside. 74G. On the appearance of the enemy during the march, the com- mam.er closes up the wagons and continues his march in order ; he avoids fighting; hut if the enemy seizes a position that commands his road, he attacks vigorously with the mass of his force, hut is not to con- tinue the pursuit far from the convoy. The convoy halts, and resumes the march when the position is carried. 747. When the enemy is too strong to be attacked, the convoy is parked in square if there is room ; if i,ot closed up in double file ; at the front and rear the road is blocked by wagons across it. The drivers arc dismounted at the heads of the horses. They are not permitted to make their escape. The light troops keep the enemy at a distance as long as possible, and are supported when necessary, but prudently, as the troops must be kept in hand to resist the main attack. 76 BAGGAGE TRAINS. 748. If a wagon takes fire in the park, remove it if possible ; if not, remove first the ammunition wagons, then these to leeward of the fire. 749. When a whole convoy can not he saved, the most valuable- part may sometimes he by abandoning the rest. If all efforts fail, and there is no hope of succor, the convoy must be set on fire and the horses killed that cannot be saved ; the escort may then cut its way through. 750. If the convoy is of prisoners of war, every effort should be made to reach n village or strong building where they may be confined ; if forced to fight in the field, the prisoners must be secured and made to lio down until the action is over. BAGGAGE TRAINS. 751. The baggage train of general head-quarters and the trains of the several divisions are each under the charge of an officer of the Quartermaster's Department. These officers command and conduct tbe trains under the orders they receive from their respective headquarters. "When the trains of different divisions march together, or the train of a division marches with the train of general head-quarters, the senior Quartermaster directs the whole. 752. The regimental Quartermaster has charge of the wagons, horses, equipments, and all means of transport employed in the service of the regiment. Under the orders of the Colonel, he assembles thorn for the march, and maintains the order and police of the train in park on the march. On marches, the regimental trains are under tbe orders of the Quartermaster of the division. When the march is by brigade, the senior Regimental Quartermaster in the brigade, or tho Quartermaster of the brigade has the direction of the whole. Tho i:ecessnry wagon- masters, or non-commissioned officers to act as such, are employed with tin 1 several trains. 753. None but the authorized wagons are allowed to march with the train. The wagons of the scrotal head-quarters, the regimental wagons, and the wagons of sutlers authorized by orders from head-quarters to march with the train, are all to be conspicuously marked. 754. When the train of head-quarters is to have aguar.l, the strength of the guard is regulated by the General. Generals of Brigade guard their trains by the men attached to the train of the first regiment of their brigades. The regimental trains are loaded, unloaded, and guard- ed, as far as practicable, by convalescents and men not effective in the ranks; in the cavalry, by dismounted men. When the guard of a train is the escort for its defence, the regulations in regard to convoys and es- corts take effect. 755. Habitually each division is followed by its train, the regimental trains, uniting at the brigade rendezvous. When otherwise, the order for the movement of the divisions brigades, and regiments contains the necessary directions in regard to the assembling and marching of the respective trains. The several trains march in an order analogous to the rank of the generals, and the order of battle of the troops to which they belong. Trains are not allowed in any case to be in the midst of the troops, or to impede the march of the troops. 756. The wagon-masters, under the orders of the officers of the Quar- termaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints over the teamsters and servants who leave their teams, or do not properly con- GENERAL POLICE. < / duct them ; or who ill-treat their horses, or who attempt to pillage, or run away in case of attack. 757. The General commanding the army and the Generals of Division will not permit any general or stiff officer, or regiment under their or- ders, or any person whatsoever, attached to their command, to have more than the authorized amount or means of transportation. For this purpose they will themselves make, and cause to be made, frequent re- views and inspections of the trains. They will see that no trooper is employed to lead a private horse, no soldier to drive a private vehicle, and that no trooper is put on foot to lend his horse to an officer. They will not permit the wagons of the artillery or of the train to be loaded with anything foreign to their proper service, nor any public horse, for any occasion, to be harnessed to a private carriage. 75S. The officers of the Quartermaster's Department, the wagon mas- ters, and all conductors of trains, are charged with watching that the regulations respecting transportation allowances are strictly observed. GENERAL POLICE. 759. When necessary, the General-in-chief or General of Division may appoint a provost marshal to take charge of prisoners, with a suit- able guard, or other police force. 760. Private servants, not soldiers, will not be allowed to wear the uniform of any corps of the army; but each will be required to carry with him a certificate from the officer who employs him, verified, for regimental officers, by the signature of the Colonel ; for other officers under the rank of Colonel, by the chief of their corps or department. 761. Laundresses permitted to follow the army will be furnished with certificates, signed as in the preceding paragraph, and no woman of bad character will be allowed to follow the army. Other persons with the army, not officers or soldiers, such as guides of the country, interpre- ters, &c, will carry about them similar certificates from the head-quar- ters that employs them. 762. Deserters from the enemy, after being examined, will be se- cured for some days, as they may be spies in disguise; as opportunities offer, they will be sent to the rear; after which, if they are found lurk- ing about the army, or attempting to return to the enemy, they will be treated with severity. 763. The arms and accoutrements of deserters will be turned over to the Ordnance Department, and their horses to the corps in want of them, after being branded with the letters " C. S." The compensation to be accorded to deserters, for such objects, will be according to appraisement, made under the direction of the Quartermaster's Department. The en- listment of deserters, without express permission from General head- quarters, is prohibited. 704. It is forbidden to purchase horses without ascertaining the right of the party to sell. Stolen horses shall be restored. Estrays, in the •enemy's country, when the owner is not discovered, are taken for the army. 7G5. Plundering and marauding, at all times disgraceful to soldiers, when committed on the persons or property of those whom it is the duty of the army to protect, become crimes of such enormity as to ad- 78 SAFEGUARDS — SIEGES. mit of no remission of the awful punishment which the military law awards against offences of this nature. SAFEGUARDS, 766. Safeguards are protections granted to persons or property in foreign parts by the commanding general, or by other commanders within the limits of their command. 767. Safeguards are usually given to protect hospitals, public estab- lishments, establishments of religion, charity, or instruction, museums, depositories of the arts, mills, post-offices, and other institutions of pub- lic benefit; also to individuals whom it may be the interest of the army to respect. 768. A safegarud may consist of one or more men of fidelity and firmness, generally noneffective non-commissioned officers, fur- nished with a paper setting out clearly the protection and exemptions it is intended to secure, signed by the commander giving it, and his staff officer; or it may consist of 6uch paper, delivered to the party whose person, family, house and property it is designed to protect. These safeguards must be numbered and registered. 769. The men left as safeguards by one corps may be replaced by another. They are withdrawn when the country is evacuated ; but if not, they have orders to await the arrival of the enemy's troops, and apply to the commander for a safe-conduct to the outposts. 770. Form of a safeguard: By authority of , A safeguard is hereby granted to [A. B , or the house and family of A. B , or the college, mills, or property, stating pre- cisely tlie place, nature and description of the person, property, or buildings.] All officers and soldiers belonging to the army of the Con- federate States are therefore commanded to respect this safeguard, and to afford, if necessary, protection to [the person, family, or property of , as the case may be.J Given at Head-Quarters, the day of .

"Whosoever belonging to the amies of the Confederate States, em- ployed in foreign parts, shall force a safeguard, shall suffer death." 771. In the following regulations the besieging force is supposed to be two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry. The same prin- ciples govern in other cases. 772. The Brigadier-Generals of infantry serve, in turn, as Generals of the trenches ; one or more of them are detailed daily, according to the front and number of attacks; they superintend the operath ns, and dispose the guards of the trenches to repulse sorties and protect the works. Oilicers of the general staff are assigned to them to transmit their orders and attend to the details of service. SIEGES. 79 773. The Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels of infantry alternate for duty in the trenches ; one or more are detailed daily ; they superintend the service of the guards and workmen in the part of the work to which the general of the trendies assigns them, being posted with troops of their own regiments in preference. The commandant of thesiege may place the Colonels on the roster with the Brigadier-Generals. 774. The commandants of engineers and artillery accompany the first troops before the place to examine the works and the approaches. •When the engineers have completed the reconnoissance of the works, and of each front as far as practicable, the commandant of engineers makes a plan of the works as exact and detailed as possible, and under the instructions of the General commanding the siege, draws up the general plan of the siege, and discus-os it witli the commandant of ar- tillery in regard to the best employment of that arm. These officers then submit their joint or separate opinions to the General who decides on the plan of the siege, and gives the orders for the execution. The commandant of engineers directs the construction of all the works of the siege, under the authority of the General, and lays before him every day a report of his operations, and a plan showing the progress of the attack. The commandant of artillery also makes daily reports to the General of all that relates to his branch of the service. 775. The Quartermaster-General establishes the hospitals, and or- ganizes the means for transporting the wounded to them. 776. The commanding General appoints a field officer of the trenches, who is aided by oi sion gives one ; if three, one division furnishes two, the other one, al- 80 PIEOEB. tcrnately. The two battalions of the same divisions are not taken from the sime brigade. 788- The detail for work of the trenches is by company, from all the regiments at one time, or in turn, and continues generally twelve hours. The detail Prom any regiment should never be less than a company. If only half a company would be needed from all the regiments at a time, even other regiment furnishes a full company alternately. 784. The battalions for guard are detailed at least twelve hours in advance; they furnish no other details during this tour. If the whole regiment is called out, it leaves a sufficient police guard in camp. 785. Twenty-four hours, or twelve at least, before mounting guard in the trenches, the battalions detailed for guard do not furnish workmen ; and the companies of these battalions whose tour it would have been to work in the trenches do not go there for twenty-four hours after guard, if possible, or at the least twelve. 7i v o. The workmen who are required for other work than that of the trenches, are taken from the roster for fatigue from the battalions and companies not employed in the trenches. 7&7. The battalions first for detail for guard of the trenches, and the companies first for detail for work in the trenches, furnish no other de- tails, and are held on picket, ready to inarch at the call of the field offi- cer of the trenches. I. Materials for the siege, such as fascines, gabions, hurdles, oiek- ets, to., are furnished by the different corps, in the proportion ordered by the General. '. Qaards and workmen going to the trenches, march without beat of drum or music. 790. At all times, and especially on the day the trenches are opened, everything is avoided likely to attract the attention of the enemy. With this \icw, the General may vary the hour of relieving guards. 791. The chiefs of engineers and artillery make requisitions for workmen in advance, that the details may be made in time to prevent any delay in the work. They should exceed the number strictly re- quired, that there may be a reserve for unforeseen wants. If this re- serve is found insufficient, the General directs the field officer of the trenohes to call on the picket. 7'.*2. Before the guards and workmen march, the field officer of the trenches arranges them so that each detachment can reach its ground without confusion. The troops are posted in the trenches according to the position of their regiments in the order of battle, and, as far as possible, the companies of workmen in like order. The reserves of workmen are placid at the depot of the trenches, or the nearest suita- blc.place to the works. 793. The workmen leave their knapsacks and swords in camp, and march with their lire arms and cartridge-boxes, which they place near them while at work. They always carry their overcoats, to cover them in resting or when wounded. 794. The guards always enter the trenches with arms trailed, and the workmen also, unless they carry materials or tools, when the arms are in the sling. 795. The guards and detachments of workmen send a Corporal to the SIEGES. 81 openings of the trenches to guide the relief. They march out of the trenches by the flank, with trailed arms. 796. Sandbags, forming loopholes, are placed at intervals on the parapet to protect the sentinels ; they are more numerous than the sen- tinels, so that the enemy may not know where the sentinels are placed. 797. When detachments are placed at night in advance of the trench- es, to cover the workmen, the men sit or lie down, with their fire-arms in their hands, to hide themselves better from the enemy ; the sentinels put their ears to the ground frequently, that they may hear troops coming out of the place. To prevent mistakes, the workmen are told what troops cover them. 798. No honors are paid in the trenches. When the General com- manding the siege visits them, the guards place themselves in rear of the banquette, and rests on their arms. The colors are never carried to the trenches unless the whole regiment marches to repulse a sortie or make an assault. Even in this case, they are not displayed until the General commanding the siege gives a formal order. 799. The materials of the siege of all kinds, together with the tools, are collected in part at the depots of the trenches, and in part at the opening of the trenches, or in such other place as has been appointed for the convenience of the service by the field officers of the trenches, on the advice of the chiefs of artillery and engineers. They are in charge of officers of engineers and artillery, with guards or non-commissioned officers of both corps. But if these corps cannot furnish them, the chiefs apply for assistance from the infantry. 800. The workmen, in going to the trenches, carry such tools and materials as are required by the artillery and engineers. In this case, the field officer of the trenches has notice and superintends it. 801. The soldiers sent to the trenches go with their cartridge-boxes filled. Cartridges, when needed, are sent to the trenches on the re- quisition of commanders of battalions, approved by the General of the trenches. 802. In the case of a sortie, the guards move npidly to the places that have been designated by the General of the trenches, and which afford the best defence for the head of the works, the batteries, the com- munications, or the flanks, or best enable them to take the sortie itself in flank or reverse. Having lined the banquette to fire on the enemy, the troops form on the reverse of the trench to receive him. The work- men take arms, retain their positions, or retire with their tools, as or- dered. The officers commanding the detachments of workmen see that their movements are made promptly and in good order, so as to avoid all confusion in the communications. 803. The troops that advance beyond the trenches to repulse the sortie, must not follow in pursuit. The General takes care that they return to the trenches before the retreat of the sortie allows the artil- lery of the place to open on them. When the workmen return, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the detachments call the roll without interrupting the work, which is immediately resumed. 804. When it is necessary to dismount cavalry and send them to the trenches, they should be employed as near their camp as possiblo, and posted between tho detachments of infantry. 82 SIEGES. 805. Men belonging to the cavalry may, in assaults, be employed in carrying fascines ami other materials to fill ditches and make passages. mii'i. The general officers of cavalry are more particularly employed in the service of posts and detachments placed in observation to protect the siege. They and the field officers of this arm are employed in the command of escorts to convoys, of whatever arms t lie escorts maybe composed. When these duties are nut sufficient to employ them, they take their share of the duty of the trenches. 807. The officers of engineers and artillery of the trenches make to the General of the trenches a return of all losses in their troops, and such other reports on the work as he requires, in addition to the reports direct to their respective chiefs on the details of the service. 808. At the end of each tour, the field officer of the trenches draws up a report for the twenty-four hours to the General of the trenches. The General of the trenches reports to the General commanding the siege. SUO. Tho commanders of the several corps in the trenches report, ■when relieved, to their respective headquarters the losses during the tour, and the conduct of the officers and men. 810. However practicable the breach may appear, or however ruined the work in rear of it, the heads of columns must always be supplied With ladders to get over unexpected obstacles. 811. The General commanding the siege designates picked compa- nies to protect property and persons, and prevent pillage and violence, from the moment the place is carried. The officers exert themselves to restrain the men. 818. The General designates the places requiring particular protec- tion, such as churches, asylums, hospitals, colleges, schools aad maga- zines. The order of their protection should remind the soldiers, at the time, of the penalty of disobeying it. 813. Whether the place be taken by assault or by capitulation, the provisions and the military stores, and the public funds, are reserved fop the use of the army. 814. The commander of engineers will keep a journal of the siege, showing the Operations of -each day in detail, the force employed on the work, the kind and quantity of materials used in then), &e. He will also mark on a plan of the ground the daily progress of the works, and make the necessary drawings explanatory of their construction. 81"'. Tho commander of the artillery will keep a daily journal of the operations under his direction, showing the number and kind of pieces in battery, the force employed in serving them, the kind and quantity of ammunition expended, the number of rounds fired from each piece of ordnance, the effect of the tire, and all ether particulars relative to his branch of the service. Mb. These journals and drawings will be sent after the siege, with the report of the General, to the War Department. DEFENCE OF FORTIFIED PLACES. 817. In war, every commander of a fortified place shail always hold himself prepared with bis plan of defence, as if at any time liable to attack. He arranges this plan according to the probable mode of at- tack ; determines tho posts of the troops in the several parts of the SIEGES. 83 works, the reliefs, the reserves, and the details of service in all the corps. He draws up instructions for a case of attack, and exercises the garrison according to his plan of defence. In sea-coast works he pro- vides the instructions for the different batteries on the approach of Bhips. 818. In framing his plan, he studies the works and the exterior with- in the radius of attack and investment, the strength of the garrison, the artillery, the munitions of war, subsistence and supplies of all kinds, and takes immediate measures to procure whatever is deficient of troops or supplies, either by requisition on the Government, or from the means put at his disposal. 819. On the approach of an enemy, he removes all houses and other objects, within or without the place, that cover the approaches, or in- terrupt the fire of the guns or the movements of the troops, lie as- sures himself personally that all posterns, outlets, or embrasures, &c, are in proper state of security. 820. He shall be furnished by the Department of War with a plan of the works, showing all the details of the fortifications and of the exte- rior within the radius of attack ; with a map of the environs within the radius of investment ; with a map of the vicinity, including the neigh- boring works, roads, water channels, coasts, &c; with a memoir ex- plaining the situation and defence of the place, and the relations and bearings of the several works on each other, and on the approaches by land and water — all which he carefully preserves, and communicates only to the council of defence. 821. He consults his next in rank, and the senior officer of the engi- neers and of the artillery, either separately, or as a council of defence. In the latter case, he designates an officer to act as secretary to the council, and to record their proceedings and their joint or separate opinions, which are to be kept secret during the 6iege. The members may record their opinions under their own signature. In all cases, the commander decides on his own responsibility. 822. The commander of the place, and the chiefs of engineers and of artillery, shall keep journals of the defence, in which shall be entered, in order of date, without blank or interlineation, the orders given or received, the manner in which they are executed, their results, and every event and circumstance of importance in the progress of the de- fence. These journals, and the proceedings of the council of defence, shall be sent, after the siege, to the Department of War. 823. There shall be kept in the office of the commandant of the place, to be sent after the siege to the Department of War, a map of the envi- rons, a plan of the fortifications, and a special plan of the front of at- tack, on which the chief engineer will trace, in succession, the positions occupied, and the works execute 1 by the enemy from the investment; and also the workR of counter approach of defence, and the successive positions of the artillery and other troops of the garrison during the progress of the siege. 824. The commander shall defend in succession the advanced works, the covered way and outworks, the body of the work, and the interior entrenchments. He will not be content with clearing away the foot of the breaches, and defending them by abattis, mines, and all the means used in sieges ; but he shall begin in good time^ behind the bastions or 84 TROOPS ON BOARD OF TRANSPORTS. front of attack, the necessary entrenchments to resist assaults on the main work. B25. He shall use his means of defence in such manner as always to have a reserve of fresh troops, chosen from his best soldiers, to resist assaults, retake the outworks, and especially to resist assaults on the body of the place ; and a reserve of provisions for the last period of the siege, and of ammunition fur the last attacks. 826. lie must, in every case, compel the besieging force to approach by the slow and successive works of siege, and must sustain at least one assault on a practicable breach in the body of the place. 827. When the commander thinks that the end of the defence has come, he shall still consult the council of defence on the means that may remain to prolong the siege. But in all cases he alone will decide on the time, manner, and terms of the surrender. In the capitulation, he shall not seek or accept better terms for himself than for the garri- son, but shall share their fate, and exert Ids best endeavors for the care of the troops, and especially of the sick and wounded. 828. No commander in the field shall withdraw troops or supplies from any fortified place, or exercise any authority over its commandant, un- less it has been put subject to his orders by competent authority. ARTICLE XXXVII. TROOPS ON BOARD OF TRANSPORTS. 829. Military commanders charged with the embarkation of troops, and officers of the Quartermaster's Department intrusted with the se- lection of the transports, will take care that the vessels are entirely sea- worthy and proper for such service, and suitable arrangements are made in them for the health and comfort of the troops. 830. If, in the opinion of the officer commanding the-troops to be em- barke.l, the vessel is not proper or suitably arranged, the officer charged with the embarkation shall cause her to be inspected by competent and experienced persons. 831. Immediately after embarking, the men will be assigned to quar- ters, equal parties on both sides of the ship, and no man will be al- lowed to loiter or sleep on the opposite side. As far as practicable, the men of each company will be assigned to the same part of the vessel, and the squads, in the same manner, to contiguous berths. 832. Arms will be so placed, if there be no racks, as to be secure from injury, and enable the men to handle them promptly ; bayonets unfixed and in scabbard. 833. Ammunition in cartridge-boxes to be so placed as to be entirely secure from fire ; reserve ammunition to be reported to the master of the transport, with request that he designate a safe place of deposit. Frequent inspections will be made of the service ammunition, to insure its safety and good condition. 834. No officer is to sleep out of his ship, or to quit his ship, without the sanction of the officer commanding on board. 835. The guard will be proportioned to the number of sentinels re- quired. At sea, the guard will mount with side-arms only. The offi- cer of the guard will be the officer of the day. 836. Sentinels will be kept over the fires, with buckets of water at TROOPS ON BOARD OF TRANSPORTS. 85 hand, promptly to extinguish fires. Smoking is prohibited between decks or in the cabins, at all times ; nor shall any liglits be allowed be- tween decks except such ship lanterns as the master of the transport may direct, or those carried by the officer of the day in the execution of his duty. 837. Regulations will be adopted to enable companies or messes to cook in turn ; no others than those whose turn it is will be allowed to loiter round or approach the galleys or other cooking places. 838. The commanding officer will make arrangements, in concert with the master of the vessel, for calling the troops to quarters, so that in case of alarm, by storm, or fire, or the approach of the enemy, every man may repair promptly to his station. But he will take care not to crowd the deck. The troops not wanted at the guns, or to assist the sailors, and those who cannot be advantageously employed with small arms, will be formed as a reserve between decks. 839. All the troops will turn out at A. M., without arms or uni- form, and (in warm weather) without shoes or stockings ; when every individual will be clean, his hands, face and feet washed, and his hair combed. The same personal inspection will be repeated thirty minutes before sunset. The cooks alone will be exempted from one of these in- spections per day, if necessary. 840. Recruits or awkward men will be exercised in the morning and evening in the use of arms, an hour each time, when the weather will permit. 841. Officers will enforce cleanliness as indispensable to health. When the weather will permit, bedding will be brought on deck every morning for airing. Tubs may be fixed on the forecastle for bathing, or the men may be placed in the chains and have buckets of water thrown ovei them. 842. Between decks will not be washed oftener than once a week, and only when the weather is fine. The boards of the lower berths will be removed once or twice a week to change the straw. Under the direc- tion of the Surgeon and the officer of the day, frequent fumigations will be performed between decks. The materials required are — common salt, four ounces ; powdered oxide of manganese, one ounce; sulphuric acid, one ounce, diluted with two ounces of water. The diluted acid is poured over the other ingredients in a basin placed in a hot sand bath. Solutions of chloride of lime and chloride of zinc are excellent disin- fecting agents. 843. During voyages in hot weather, the master of the vessel will be desired to provide wind-sails, which will be kept constantly hung up, and frequently examined, to see that they draw well and are not ob- structed. 844. During cooking hours, the officers of companies visit the ca- boose, and see that the messes are well prepared. The coppers and other cooking utensils are to be regularly and well washed, both before and ajter use. 845. The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, or at an earlier hiurwhen there is a prospect of bad weather ; and at tattoo every man not on duty will be in his berth. To insure the execution of this regulation, the officer of the day, with a lantern, will make a tour between decks. 86 TROOPS ON BOARD OF TRANSPORTS. 840. Lights will be extinguished at tattoo, except such as are placed under sentinels. The officer of tlie day will see to it, and report to the commanding officer. The officers' lights will he extinguished at 10 o'clock, unless special permission be given to continue them for a longer time, as in case of sickness or other emergency. 847. For the sake of exercise, the troops will bo occasionally called to quarters by the beat to arms. Those appointed to the guns will be fre- quently exercised in the use of them. The arms and accoutrements will be frequently inspected. The metallic parts of the former will be often wiped and greased again. 848. The men will not be allowed to sleep on deck in hot weather or in the sun ; they will be encouraged and required to take exercise on deck, in squads by succession, when necessary. 849. At morning and evening parades, the Surgeon will examine the men, to observe whether there be any appearance of disease. 850. The sick will, as far as practicable, be separated from the healthy men. On the first appearance of malignant contagion, a signal will be made for the hospital vessel (if there be one in company,) and the dis- eased men removed to her. 851. A good supply of hospital stores and medicines will be taken on each vessel, and used only for the sick and convalescent. 852. The Surgeon will guard the men against costiveness on ap- proaching a hot climate. In passing through the West Indies to the Southern coast, for instance, and for some weeks after landing in those latitudes, great care is required in the use of fruit, as strangers would not be competent to judge of it, and most kinds, after long voyages, are prejudicial. i3. In harbor, where there is no danger from sharks, the men may bathe; but not more than ten at a time, and attended by a boat I. In fitting op a vessel for the transportation of horses, care is to be taken that the requisite arrangements are made for conveniently feeding and cleaning them, and to secure them from injury in rough weather by ropes attached to breast-straps and breeching, or by other suitable means ; and especially that proper ventilation is provided by openings in the upper deck, wind-sails, &c. The ventilation of steam- ers may he assisted by using the engine for that purpose. 855. Bones should not be put on board after severe exercise or when heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings should be made fast to a hook at the end of the fall, or the knot tied by an expert seaman, so that it may be well secured and easily loosened. The horse should be run up quickly to prevent him from plunging, and should be steadied by guide ropes. A halter is placed on him before he is lifted from the ground. 856. On board, care is to be taken that the horses are not over-fed; bran should form part of their ration. The face, eyes, and nostrils of each horse are to be washed at the usual stable hours ; and occasionally, the manges should be washed and the nostrils of the horse sponged with vinegar and water. 857. In loading vessels with stores for a military expedition, the cargo of each should be composed of an assortment of such stores as may be available for service in case of the non-arrival of others, and they should be placed on board in such a manner that they may be COURTS-MARTIAL. Si easily reached, in the order in which they are required for service. Each store-ship should be marked, at the bow and stern, on both sides, in large characters, with a distinctive letter and number. A list is to be made of the stores on board of each vessel, and of the place where they are to be found in it; a copy of this list to be sent to the chief officer of the proper department in the expedition, or at the place of destination. ARTICLE XXXVIII. COURTS-MARTIAL. 858. In appointing a general court-martial, as many members will be detailed, from five to thirteen inclusive, as can be assembled without man- ifest injury to the service. 859. The decision of the officer appointing the court, as to the num- ber that can be assembled without manifest injury to the service, is con- clusive. 860. A President of the court will not be appointed. The officer highest in rank present will be President. 861. Form of order appointing court-martial, the last paragraph omitted when the court cau be kept up with thirteen members: Headquarters, , &c. A general court-martial is hereby appointed to meet at , on the day of , or as soon thereafter as practicable, for the trial of , and such other prisoners as may be brought before it. Detail for the Court: 1 8 2 9 3 10 , 4 11 5 12 6 13 7. , Judge Advocate. No other officers than those named can be assembled without mani- fest injury to the service. By order of , commanding -, Assistant Adjutant-General. 862. In the detail the members will be named, and tbey will take place in the court, in the order of their rank. A decision of the proper authority in regard to the rank of the members cannot be reversed by the court. 863. The place of holding a court is appointed by the authority con- vening it. 864. Application for delay or postponement of trial must, when prac- ticable, be made to the authority convening the court. When made to the court, it must be before plea, and will then, if in the opinion of the court well founded, be referred to the authority convening the court, to decide whether the court shall be adjourned or dissolved, and thu charges reserved for another court. 865. Upon application by the accused for postponement on the ground of absence of witness, it ought distinctly to appear on his oath, 1st, that 88 COURTS-MARTIAL. the witness is material, and how ; 2d, that the accused has used due diligence to procure his attendance, and 3d, that lie has reasonable ground to believe, and dues believe, that he will be able to procure such attendance within a reasonable time stated. 8G6. The President of a court-martial, besides hie duties and privi- leges as member, is the organ of the court, to keep order and conduct its business, lie speaks and acts for the court in each case where the rule has been prescribed by law, regulation, or its own resolution. In all their deliberations the law secures the equality of the members. 8G7. The TGth Article of War does not confer on a court-martial the power to punish its own members. For disorderly conduct, a member is liable as in other offences against military discipline ; improper words are to be taken down, and any disorderly conduct of a member reported to the authority convening the court. SOS. The Judge Advocate shall summon the necessary witnesses for the trial ; but he shall not summon any witness at the expense of the Confederate States, nor any officer of the army, without the order of the court, unless satisfied that his testimony is material and necessary to the ends of justice. 869. Every court-martial shall keep a complete and accurate record of its proceedings, to be authenticated by the signatures of the Presi- dent and Judge Advocate, who shall also certify, in like manner, the sentence pronounced by the court in each case. The record must show that the court was organized as the law requires ; that the court and Judge Advocate were duly sworn in the presence of the prisoner ; that he was previously asked whether he had objection to any member, and his answer thereto. A copy of the order appointing the court will be entered on the record in each case. B70. Whenever the same court-martial tries more prisoners than one, and they arc arraigned on separate and distinct charges, the court is to be sworn at the commencement of each trial, and the proceedings in each case will be made up separately. 871. The record shall be clearly and legibly written; as far as prac- ticable, without erasures or interlineations, the pages to be numbered, with a margin of one inch on the left side of each page, and at the top of the odd and bottom of the even pages ; through this last margin the sheets to be stitched together ; the documents accompanying the pro- ceedings to be noted and marked in such a manner as to afford an easy reference. s7"2. No recommendation will be embraced in the body of the sen- tence. Those members only who concur in the recommendation will BlgD it. 873, The legal punishments for soldiers by sentence of a court-mar- tial according to the offence, and the jurisdiction of the court, are — death ; corporal punishment by flogging ; confinement ; confinement on bread and water diet; solitary confinement; hard labor; ball and chain; forfeiture of pay and allowances ; discharges from service ; and reprimands. Solitary confinement, or confinement on bread and water, shall not exceed fourteen days at a time, with intervals between the periods of such confinement not less than such periods, and not exceed- ing eighty-four days in ono year. 874. A court-martial cannot assign and make over the pay of a sol- 0©URTS-MARTIAL — WORKING PARTIES. 89 dier to any other person, and the receipt of such person will not be a sufficient voucher for the disbursing officer. Nor can a soldier be re- quired to receipt for money paid without his consent to another person. The law prohibits any receipt or voucher in accounts of public money, unless the full amount of the receipt is paid to the party who signed it. 875. The jurisdiction and authority of courts-martini are the same with reference to Ordnance Sergeants and Hospital Stewards as in the cases of other enlisted men. When, however, an Ordnance Sergeant or Hospital Steward is sentenced by an inferior court to be reduced to the ranks, such sentence, though it may be approved by the reviewing officer, will not be carried into effect until the case has been referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In these cases of reduc- tion, the application of the man for discharge from service, though not recognized as a right, will generally be regarded with favor, if his offence has not been of too serious a nature, and especially where he has not been recently promoted from the ranks. 876. The Judge Advocate shall transmit the proceedings, without de- lay, to the officer having authority to confirm the sentence, who shall state, at the end of the proceedings in each case, his decision and orders thereon. 877. The original proceedings of all general courts-martial, after the decision on them of the reviewing authority, and all proceedings that require the decision of the President under the 65th and 89th Articles of War, and copies of all orders confirming or disproving, or remitting the sentences of courts-martial, and all official communications for the Judge Advocate of the army, will be addressed to " The Adjutant and Inspector- General of the Army, War Department," marked on the cover, •' Judge Advocate." 878. The proceedings of garrison and regimental courts-martial will be transmitted without delay, by the garrison or regimental comman- der, to the department headquarters for the supervision of the depar- ment commander. 879. The power to pardon or mitigate the punishment ordered by a court-martial, is vested in the authority confirming the proceedings, and in the President of the Confederate States. A superior military commander to the officer confirming the proceedings may suspend the execution of the sentence when, in his judgment, it is void upon the face of the proceedings, or when he sees a fit case for executive cle- mency. In such cases, the record, with his order prohibiting the exe- cution, shall be transmitted for the final orders of the President. 880. When a court-martial or court of inquiry adjourns without day, the members will return to their respective posts and duties, unless otherwise ordered. 881. When a court adjourns for three days, the Judge Advocate shall report the fact to the commander of the post or troops, and the mem- bers belonging to the command will be liable to duty during the time. ARTICLE XXXIX. WORKING PARTIES. 882. When it is necessary to employ the army at work on fortifica- tions, in surveys, in cutting roads, and other constant labor of not less 00 WORKING PARTIES — PUBLIC PROPERTY, AC. thiin ten days, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers so employed arc enrolled as extra-duty men, and arc allowed twenty-five cents a day when employed a* laborers and teamsters, and forty cents a day when employed as mechanics, at all stations cast of tlie Rocky Mountains, and thirty-five and fifty cents per day, respectively, at all stations west of those mountains. 883. Enlisted men of the Ordnance and Engineer Departments, and artificers of artillery, are not entitled to this allowance when employed in their appropriate work. 884. Soldiers will not be employed as extra-duty men for any labor in camp or garrison which can properly be performed by fatigue par- ties. 8S5. No extra-dnty men, except those required for the ordinary ser- vice of the Quartermaster, Commissary, and Medical Departments, and saddlers in mounted companies, will be employed without previous au- thority from department headquarters, except in case of necessity, which shall be promptly reported to the department commander. 886 Extra-duty pay of a saddler in a mounted company will be charged on the company muster-roll, to be paid by the Quartermaster and refunded by the Ordnance Department. Extra-duty pay of cooks and nurses in the hospital service will be paid by the Quartermaster, in the absence of a medical disbursing officer, and refunded by the Medical Department. The extra pay of cooks and nurses will be charged on hospital muster-rolls. 8S7. The officer commanding a working party will conform to the directions and plans of the engineer or other officer directing tho work, without regard to rank. 5. A day's work shad not exceed ten hours in summer, nor eight in winter. Soldiers are paid in proportion for any greater number of hours they are employed each day. Summer is considered to commence on the 1st of April, and winter on the 1st of October. 889. Although the necessities of the service may require soldiers to be ordered on working parties as a duty, commanding officers are to bear in mind that fitness for military service by instruction and disci- pline is the object for which the army is kept on foot, and that they are not to employ the troops when not in the field, and especially the mounted troops, in labors that interfere with their military duties and exercises, except in cases of immediate necessity, which shall be forth- with reported for the orders of the War Department. ARTICLE XL. PUBLIC PROrERTV, MONEY, AND ACCOUNTS. 890. All officers of the Commissary and Quartermaster's Depart- ments, and military store-keepers, shall, previous to their entering on the duties of their respective offices, give good and sufficient bonds to the Confederate States fully to account for nil monies and public pro- perty which they may receive, in such sums as the Secretary of War (-hall direct; and the officers aforesaid shall renew their bonds every four years, and oftener if the Secretary of War shall so require, and whenever they receive a new commission or appointment. 891. The sureties to the bond shall be bound jointly and severally for PUBLIC PROPERTY, AC 91 the whole amount of the bond, nnd shall satisfy the Secretary of War that they are worth jointly double the amount of the bond, by the. affi- davit of each surety, stating that he is worth, over and above his debts and liabilities, the amount of the bond, or such other sum as he may specify, and each surety shall state his place of residence. 892, The chiefs of disbursing departments who submit requisitions for money to be remitted to disbursing officers, shall take care that no more money than is actually needed is in the hands of any officer. 893. The Treasury Department having provided, by arrangement with the Assistant Treasurers at various points, secure depositories for funds in the hands of disbursing officers. All disbursing officers are re- quired to avail themselves, as far as possible, of this arrangement, by depositing with the Assistant Treasurers such funds as are not wanted for immediate use, and drawing; the same in convenient sums as wanted. S94. No public funds shall be exchanged except for gold and silver. When the funds furnished are gold and silver, all payments shall be in gold and silver. When the funds furnished are drafts, they shall be presented at the place of payment, and paid according to law; and payments shall be made in the funds so received for the drafts, unless sa : d funds or said drafts can be exchanged for gold and silver at par.

Any officer who shall directly or indirectly sell or dispose of, for a premium, any treasury note, draft, warrant, or other public security in his hands for disbursement, or sell or dispose of the proceeds or avails thereof without making returns of such premium and accounting therefor by charging it in his accounts to the credit of the Confederate States, will forthwith be dismissed by the President. 897. If any disbursing officer shall bet at cards or any game of hazard, his commanding officer shall suspend bis functions, and require him to turn over all the public funds in his keeping, and shall immediately re- port the case to the proper bureau of the War Department. 898. All officers are forbid to give or take any receipt in blank for public money or property; but in all cases the voucher shall be made 92 PUBLIC TROrERTY, 1C out in full, and the true date, place, and exact amount of money, in words, shall be written out in the receipt before it is signed. 899.

All lists of subsistence shall run in this oider : meat, bread- stuff, rice and beans, coffee, sugar, vinegar, candles, soap, salt, anti- scorbutics, purchases for hospital, forage for cattle. 1138. No charge for printing blanks, as forms, will be allowed. 1139. A book will be kept by the Commissary at each post, in which will be entered the monthly returns of provisions received and issued, (Form 1.) It will show from what the purchases h ne boon made, and whether paid for. It is called the Commissary's book, and will not be removed from the post. 1140. When any officer in the Commissariat is relieved, he will close his property accounts ; but money accounts will bo kept open till the end of the quarter, unless he ceases to do duty in the department. 1141. Commissaries of subsistence in charge of principal depots will render quarterly statements of the cost and quality of the ration, in all its parts, at their stations. NOTES. 1. Stores longest on hand will be issued first. 2. Armorers, carriage-makers and blacksmiths, of the Ordnance De- fmrtment, are entitled to one and a half rations per day : nil other en- isted men, one ration. Laundresses, one ration. No hired person shall draw more than one ration. 3. One ration a day may be issued to an}' person employed with the army, when the terms of his en^a^ement require it, or on paying the full cost of the ration when he cannot otherwise proonre food. 4. Lamps and oil to light a fort or garrison are tot allowed from the Subsistence Department. 5. In purchasing pork for the Southern posts, a preference will ho given to that which is put up in small pieces, say from four to six pounds each, and not very fat. G. As soldiers are expected to preserve, distribute, and cook their own subsistence, the hire of citizens for any of these duties is not allowed, except in extreme cases. The expenses of bakeries are paid from the post fund, to which the profits accrue by regulations, (see paragraph 190) such as purchase of hops, yeast, furniture; as sieves, cloths, &c, and the hire of bakers. Ovens may be built or paid for by the Subsis- tence Department, but not bake houses. 7.

Lieutenants, acting as Assistant Commi are allowed §20 per month for Fuch services, to be paid by the Pay De- partment, on .accounts certified to by the Commissary General, to the effect that proper returns were rendered for the period charged for. 1143. A Regimental or Depot Commissary of Subsistence may pur- chase, at first cost price, of the Captains or commanding officers of com- panies, in the service of the Confederate States, such articles or parts of the ration as are not drawn, nor consumed. But this applies only to such articles as were actually issued and not consumed, or -would ac- tually have been issued, and does not apply to such parts of the ration as the Commissary does not habitually have on hand for issue. 1111. Tip' accounts for such purchases will be made in duplicate, (see Form No. 19, Subsistence Regulations,) and the articles will be taken up by the Commissary on his monthly return, as if it were an original purchase. The money paid to the Captains constitutes a com- pany fund. 111"). 1st. Duplicate originals of all contracts on account of subsis- tence will be sent to this office through the principal Commissary of Subsistence of the Military Department in which the contract is made. The place of residence of each surety to the bond must be named therein SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT. 199 with particularity. Where the form is prescribed it will be followed ; in all cases contracts must be drawn up and executed to meet the re- quirements of the law. Every contract, whether for services or for the furnishing of supplies, which contemplates a partial performance, from time to time, continuing until the whole duty is performed, or the whole delivery of the enumerated articles is effected, must provide in express terms for its earlier termination, if the Commissary-General shall 60 direct. 1146. Estimates for funds must be rendered in duplicate. 1147. In order to establish an invariable rule for ascertaining the nett Weight of beef cattle received on the hoof, the following mode is adopted, and for the future, in all cases will be observed ■ 1st. When practicable, cattle presented for acceptance must be weighed upon the scales. From the live weight of a steer, thus ascer- tained, his nett weight shall be determined by deducting forty-five per centum, when his gross weight exceeds thirteen hundred (1300) pounds, and fifty per centum when it is less than that, and not under eight hun^ dred (800) pounds. 2d. When it. is impracticable to weigh upon the scales, one or more average steers must be selected, killed and dressed in the usual man- ner. The average nett weight of these (necks and shanks excluded) will be accepted as the average nett weight of the herd. In all written instruments for the delivery of cattle on the hoof, the manner pre* scribed above, for ascertaining nett weight, must, in express terms, be inserted ; in verbal agreements, it must be understood and accepted by the party delivering the cattle. Vouchers for the payment of cattle will state the manner pursued in determining their nett weight, except where payment has been made on the certificate of an officer, in which case the certificate will state the mode followed. 3d. With a view to the prevention of losses, now so frequently occur- ring, from over-estimating the weight of cattle received on the hoof, the serious attention of officers and agents serving in this department is specially called to the exercise of greater care in the discharge of this important duty. 1148. When fresh beef can be provided, so as to cost not more than 6} cents per pound, nett weight, or not more than an equivalent proportion of salt pork, it will be issued to the troops five times per week. When the circumstances are favorable, and it can be done with advantage to the Government, the Subsistence Department will keep beef cattle to supply the issues. 1149. The following issues and substitutions maybe made: When, from excessive fatigue or exposure, the commanding officer may deem it necessary, he may direct the issue of whiskey to the enlisted men of his command, not to exceed a gill per man for each day. Tea may be issued in lieu of coffee, at the rate of one and a half pounds per one hun- dred rations. Two "issues" per week of "desiccated vegetables" may be made in lieu of "beans" or "rice." Potatoes and onions, when issued, will always be in lieu of rice or beans. Potatoes at the rate of a pound per ration ; onions at the rate of three pecks per hun- dred rations. 200 SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT — FORMS. Form 1.

In passing a recruit, the medical officer is to examine him stripped; to see that he has free use of his limbs; that his chest is ample ; that his hearing, vision, and speech are perfect; that he has no tumors, or ulcerated or extensively cicatrized legs; no rupture, or chronic cutaneous affection ; that he has not received any contusion, or wound of the head, that may impair his ^faculties ; that ho is not a drunkard ; is not subject to convulsions, and has no infectious disorder, nor a ay other that may unfit him for military service. 1193. Medical officers attending recruiting rendezvous will keep a record (Form 14) of all the recruits examined by them. Books fortius purpose will be procured by application to the Surgeon General, to whom they will be returned when tilled. 1194. As soon as a recruit joins any regiment or station, he shall be examined by the medical officer, and vaccinated when it is required. 1195. The senior medical officer of each hospital, post, regiment, or detachment, will make monthly to the Medical Director, and quarterly to tbi General, a report, of sick and wounded, and of deaths, and of discharges for disability, (Form 1 :) and transmit, to the Surgeon General a copy of the Monthly Statement of Ike Hospital Fund, (Form 19.) 1196.

But a private pnysician will not be employed to accompany troops on marches or transports, except by orders from the War Department, or, in particu- lar and urgent cases, by the order of the officer directing the movement. 1201. And when a private physician is required to furnish medicines, he will be paid in addition from 25 to 50 per cent., to be determined by the Surgeon General, on the amount allowed by contract. 1202. In all cases, a duplicate of the contract, with a particular statement of ihe circumstances which make it necessary, appended, will be transmitted forthwith to the .Surgeon General for approval ; and the commanding officer for the time being will at once discontinue it, whenever the necessity for it ceases, or the Surgeon General may so direct. 1203. The physician's account of pay due must be sent to the Sur- geon General for payment, vouched by the certificate of the com- manding officer, that it is correct and agreeable to contract, and that the services have been duly rendered. But on the frontier or in the field, when it cannot conveniently be submitted to the Surgeon Gene- ral, the contract having already received his approval, the account may be paid on the order of the commanding officer, not to exceed the regu- lated amount, by a Quartermaster or a medical disbursing officer. 1201. Private physicians, employed by contract, will conform to the regulations, and accordingly will keep all the records, and make the reports, requisitions, and returns required from medical officers. 1205. When medical attendance is required by officers or enlisted men on service, and the attendance of a medical officer cannot be had, the officer, or if there be no officer, then the enlisted man, may employ n private physician, and a just account therefor will be paid by the Medical Bureau. 1206. The account will set out the name of the patient, the Gate of and charge for each visit, and for medicines. The physician will make a certificate to t lie account in case of an officer, or affidavit in case of an enlisted man, that the account is correct, and the charges are the cus- tomary charges of the place. 1-07. The officer will make his certificate, or the enlisted man his af- fidavit, to the correctness of the account, that he was on service at the place, and stating the circumstances preventing him from receiving the services of a medical officer. 1208. When the charge is against an officer, he •will pay the account if practicable, and transmit it to the Medical Bureau for reimburse- ment. In all other cases, the account will be transmitted to the Medi- cal Bureau for settlement. 1209. If the charge is against a deceased officer or enlisted man, the physician will make tho affidavit, before required, to the account, and that he has been paid no part of it. 1210. No charges for consultation fees will be p;id by the Medical Bureau ; nor will any account for medical attendant or medicines be paid, if the officer ot enlisted man be not on service. 11 242 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 1211. A board of not less tlian three medical officers 'will be appointed from time to time, by the Secretary of War, to examine applicants fojs appointment of assistant Burgeons in the regular army, and assistant surgeons for promotion. And no cue Bhall 1 e bo appointed or pro- moted until bo examined and found qualified. 1212. The board will scrutinize rigidly the moral habits, professional acquire nents, and physical qualifications of tin- candidates, and report favorably, either for appointment or promotion, in no case admitting of a reasonable doubt. 1213. The Secretary "f Wat will designate the applicants to be ex- amined for appointment of assistant surgeon. They must be between 21 and 25 years of age. The board will report their respective merits in the several branches of the examination, and their relative merit from the. whole : agreeably whereto, if vacancies happen within two years thereafter, they will receive appointments and take rank in the medical corps. 1214. When an assistant Burgeon has served five years, he is subject to he examined for promotion. If he decline the examination, or be found not qualified by moral habits or professional acquirements, he ceases to be a medical officer of the army. 1215. An applicant lor appointment failing at one examination, may be allowed a second after two years ; but never a third. 1210. The Secretary of War will appoint, on the recommendation of the Surgeon General, from the enlisted men of the army, or cause to be enlisted, as many competent hospital stewards as the service may re- quire. 1217. The senior medical officer of a command requiring a steward, may recommend a competent non-commissioned officer or soldier to be lie appointed, which recommendation the commanding officer shall for- ward to the Adjutant and Inspector-General of the Army, with his re- marks thereon, and with the remarks of the company commander. 1218. When no competent enlisted man can be procured, the medi- cal officer will report the fact to the Surgeon General. Applications and testimonials of competency, from persons seeking to be enlisted for hospital stewards, may be addressed to the Surgeon General. 1219. The commanding officer may re-enlist a hospital steward at the expiration of his term of service, on the recommendation of the medical officer. 1220. No soldier, or citizen, will he recommended for appointment who is not known to he temperate, honest, and in every way reliable, as well as sufficiently intelligent, and skilled in pharmacy, i'or the pro- per discharge of the responsible duties likely to be devolved upon him, Until this is known, lie will he appointed an acting steward by the med- ical officer, with the approval ot the commanding officer, and will be en- titled to the pay and allowances of hospital steward. 1221. Hospital stewards, appointed by the Secretary of War, when- ever stationed in places whence no post return is made to the Adju- tant General's office, or when on furlough, will, at the end of every month, report themselves, by letter, to the Adjutant General and Sur- geon General, as well as to the Medical Director of the military depart- ment in which they may be Berving ; to each of whom they will also report each new assignment to duty, or change of station, ordered in MEDICAL DEPARTMENT. 243 their case, noting carefully the number, date, and source of the order directing the same. They will likewise report monthly, when on fur- lough, to the medical officer in charge of the hospital to which they are attached. 1222. The jurisdiction and authority of courts martial are the same with reference to hospital stewards a* in the cases of other enlisted men. When, however, a hospital steward is sentenced by an inferior court to be reduced to the ranks, such sentence, though it may be ap- proved by the reviewing officer, will not be carried into effjot until the case has been referred to the Secretary of War for final action. In those cases of reduction, the application of the man for discharge from sir- vice, though not tecognized aa of right, will generally lie regarded with favor, if his offence has not been of t >o Berious a natufe, and especially when he has not been recently promoted from the ranks. 122:!. As the hospital stewards, app linted by the Secretary of War, are permanently attached to the Medical Department, their ac- counts of pay, clothing, &c., must be kepi by the medical officers under whose immediate direction they are serving, who are also responsible for certified statements of Buch accounts, and correct descriptive lists of such stewards, to accompany them in case of transfer : as, also, that their final statements and certificates of discharge are accurately ■ out, when they are at length discharged from service. 244 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

When a rendezvous is closed, the superintendent will give the necessary instructions for the safe-keeping or disposal of the public property, so as not to involve any expense for storage. 1395. Tours of inspection hy superintendents will be made only on instructions from the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office. OtTicerson the recruiting service will not be sent from place to place without or- ders from the same source. * DUTIES OF RECRUITING OFFICERS. 1396. Success in obtaining recruits depends much on the activity arid personal attention of recruiting officers, and they will not entrust to enlisted men the duties for which themselves only are responsible. They will in no case absent themselves from their stations without . authority from the superintendent. 1397. Recruiting officers will not allow any man to be deceived or in- veigled into the service by false representations, but will in person ex- plain the nature of the service, the length of the term, the pay, cloth- ing, rations, and other allowances to which a soldier is entitled by law, to every man before he signs the enlistment. If minors present them- selves, they are to be treated with great candor ; the names and resi- dences of their parents or guardians, it" they have any, must lie ascer- tained, and they will be informed of the minor's wish to enlist, that they may make their objections or give their consent. 1308. With the sanction of superintendents, recruiting officers may insert in not exceeding two newspapers, brief notices directing atten- tion to the rendezvous for further information. 1399. Any free white male person above the age of eighteen and un- der thirty-five years, being at least five feet four and a half inches high, ty-nve 17 386 RECRUITING SERVICE. effective, able-bodied, sober, free from disease, of good character and habits, and able to speak and understand well the English language, may be enlisted. This regulation, so far as respects the height and age of the recruit, shall not extend to musicians, or to soldiers who may "re-enlist," or have served honestly and faithfully a previous enlist- ment in the army. 1400. No person under the age of twenty -one years is to be enlisted without the written consent of his parent, guardian, ov master. The recruiting officer must be very particular in ascertaining the true ago of the recruit, and will not accept him when there is a doubt of his being of age. 1401. After the nature of the service and terms of enlistment have been fairly explained to the recruit, the officer, before the enlistments are filled up, will read to him, and offer for his signature, the annexed declaration, to be appended to each copy of his enlistment: I, , desiring to enlist in the Army of the Confederate States for the peiiod of five years, do declare that 1 am years and months of age ; that I have neither wife nor child ; that I have never been discharged from the Confederate States service on account of dis- ability, or by a sentence of a court martial, or by order before the expi- ration of a term of enlistment ; and I know of no impediment to my serving honestly and faithfully as a soldier for five years. "Witness: 1402. If the recruit be a minor, his parent, guardian, or master must sign a consent to his enlisting, which will be added to the preceding declaration, in the following form : I, , do certify that I am the (father only surviving parent, legal master, or guardian) of ; that the said is years of age; and I do hereby treely give my consent to his enlisting as a soldier in the Army of the Confederate States for the period of five years. Witness : • 1403. The forms of declaration, and of consent in case of a minor, having been signed and witnessed, the recruit will then be duly in- spected by the recruiting officer, and surgeon, if one be present, and if accepted, the 20th and 87th Articles of War will be read to trim ; after which he will be allowed time to consider the subject until his mind appears to be fully made up before the oath is administered to him. 1404. As soon as practicable, and at least within six days after his enlistment, the following oath will be administered to the recruit: " I, A — 1* — , do solemnly swear or affirm, (as the case may be,) that I will bear true allegisnce to the Confederate States of America, and that I will serve them 'mostly and faithfully against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders of the Presi* dent of the Confederate States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the armies of the Confederate States." (See 10th Art. War.) RECRUITING SERVICE. 387 1405. Under the Article of War above cited, a justice of the peace, the chief magistrate of an} 7 town or city corporate, (not being an officer of tlie Army.) a notary public, or, when recourse cannot be had to such civil magistrates, a judge advocate, or any commissoned officer of the arm}', may administer the above oath. 140G. It is the duty of the recruiting officer to be present at the in- spection of the recruit l>y the medical officer. In passing a recruit the medical officer is to inspect him stripped ; to see that he has free use of all ois limbs; that his chest is ample; that his hearing, vision, and speech are perfect ; that he has no tumors, or ulcerated, or extensively cicatrized legs; no rupture or chronic cutaneous affection ; that he has not received any contusion, or wound of the head, that may impair his faculties ; that he is not a drunkard ; is not subject to c« nvulsions ; and has no infectious disorder, nor any other that may unfit him for milita- ry service. 1407. Recruiting officers will not employ private pi ysicians, without authority from the Adjutant and Inspector General's Office, for the special purpose of inspecting the recruits prior to their enlisting. 1408. If it be necessary, as in the case of sickness, to employ a phy- sician, tire recruiting officer may engage his services by contract on reasonable terms, by tho visit, or by the month. If by the month, the inspection of the recruits must be stated in the contract as part of his duty. The physician will be paid from the recruiting funds. 1400. Enlistments must, in all cases, be taken in triplicate. The re- cruiting officer will send one copy to the Adjutant General with his quarterly accounts, (paragraph 1280, No. 1,) a secoud to the superin- tendent with his monthly return, (paragraph 1280, No. 6.) and ath.rd to the depot at the same time the recruits are sent there. In cases of soldiers re-enlisted in a regiment, or of regimental recruits, the third copy of the enlistment will be sent at its date to regimental headquar- ters for tile. 1410. Wlun ordnance sergeants re-enlist, the recruiting officer will immediately send the second copy of the enlistment direct to the Adju- tant General, and the third copy to the station of the ordnance sergeant for file. 1411. A noncommissioned officer, musician, or private soldier, who may re-enlist into his company or regiment within two months hefore, or one month after the expiration of his term of service, shall receive u bounty of three months' extra pay — that is to say, the pay he was re- ceiving as pay of his grade, and as additional pay for length of service and for certificate of merit. This bounty shall be paid by the reeiuit- ing officer at the time of enlistment, and noted on the descriptive list, and timely notice of probable re-enlistments in a company must be given beforehand to tho proper authority, that the necessary funds may be provided. Ordnance sergeants and hospital stewards are non-com- missioned officers entitled to the bounty in the case provided. 1412. Enlistments must, in no case, be antedated so as to entitle a soldier to bounty who applies after the period allowed for ,l re-enlisting" has expired. 1413. A premium of two dollars will be paid to any citizen, non- commissioned officer, or soldier, for each accepted recruit that ho may o vi; RECRUIT1NO SERVICE. bring to tlic rendezvous; but not for soldiers who receive bounty for " re-enlisting." 1-114. The recruiting officer will see that the men under his com- mand are neat in their personal appearance, and will require the per- manent party to wear their military dress in a becoming manner, especially when permitted to go abroad, 1415. Only such articles of clothing as are indispensable for immediate use, will be issued to recruits at the rendezvous. Their equipment will not he made complete till after they have passed the inspection subse- quent to their arrival at the depot. 1-tlG. The instruction of the recruits will commence at the rendez- vous from the moment of enlistment. The general superintendent will see that all recruiting officers give particular attention to this subject 1417. Recruits will he sent From rendezvous to depots every ten days, or oftener if practicable, provided the number disposable exceeds three. The detachments of recruits will bo sent from rendezvous to depots un- der charge of a non-commissioned officer. 1418. Commutation for fuel and quarters, when allowed, is paid from the recruiting funds on tho usual vouchers receipted by the officer him- self. 1419. Every officer commanding a recruiting party will procure tho necessary transportation, forage, fuel, straw, and stationery, taking the requisite vouchers; but no non-commissioned officer or soldier is to be allowed to become a contractor for the supplying of any article which may be required. 1420. The transportation of recruits to depots, and from one recruit- ing station to another, will be jiaid from the recruiting funds; trans- portation of officers and enlisted men on the recruiting service will be paid in the ea .ie manner, except when first proceeding to join that ser- vice, or returning to their regiments after having been relieved. 1421. No expenses of transportation of officers will be admitted that do notarise from orders emanating from the Adjutant and Inspector Gene- ral's Office, except they be required to visit branch or auxiliary rendez- vous under their charge, when they will be allowed the stage, steam- boat, or railroad fare, porterage included. 1422. Whenever an officer is relieved or withdrawn from the recruit- ing service, he will pay over the balance of any unexpended recruiting funds in his possession to the officer appointed t.< succeed him, or to the paymaster, if no officer be so designated ; and if there be no paymaster or other proper officer convenient to receive such balance, the amount will be deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the Confederate States, with the ino.-t convenient Assistant Treasurer, or other deposi- tary of public moneys. In either case the officer will forward to the Adjutant and Inspector General the evidence of the disposition he may make of the funds, and report the fact to the superintendent, or to his colonel, if on regimental recruiting service- RENDEZVOUS, QUARTERING AND SUBSISTING RECRUITS. 1423. Written contracts will be made by recruiting officers for the rent of a rendezvous upon the most reasonable terms possible. Tho rent will be paid from the recruiting fund. The terms of the contract will be immediately reported to the Adjutant and Inspector General. RECRUITING SERVICE. 389 1424.

When convenience and econ >my require that the contract shall be for board and lodging, the officer in charge shall estimate the est oi' the ration for which the contractor shall be paid from the subsistence funds, as before directed ; and shall pay the amount due to lodging from the recruiting funds. 1430. Issues will be made, or board furni-hed, (as the case may he,) on regular provision returns, specifying the number of men, and days and dates. A ration in kind may be allowed to one laundress at each principal rendezvous. The contractor will forward his accounts either monthly or quarterly to the Commissary General of Subsistence, (see Joint B.) This account will be supported by an abstract of issues, duly certified by the recruiting officer, [set form C.) 1427. At temporary rendezvous, advertising may be dispensed with, and a contract made conditioned to be terminated at the pleasure of the officer or the Commissary General. 1428. The recruiting officer will he required, when convenient, to re- ceive fromthe Commissary General and disburse the funds for the sub- sistence of his part}', and to render his accounts quarterly to the Com- misary General. 1429. When a contract cannot he made, the recruiting officer may pay the necessary expenses of subsisting and boarding his party : ren- dering distinct accounts for amounts paid from the subsistence and re- cruiting funds, as in paragraph 1425. 1430. The expenses of subsistence at branch rendezvous, and all ex- penses of advertising for proposals, will be paid by the contractor at the principal station and included in his accounts. BLANKS. 1431. Officers on recruiting service will make timely requisitions for printed blanks, direct, as follows: To the Adjutant General. — Tor enlistments; re-enlistments; forms for medical inspection of recruits ; muster-rolls : muster and descrip- tive rolls; monthly returns : tri-monthly reports; recruiting accounts current ; accounts of clothing issued ; posters or handbills.

Each voucher must he separately entered on the abstract of con- tingent expenses, (form F,) and only the gross amount of the abstract must he entered on the account current. 3. No expenditure must be charged without a proper voucher to sup- port it. (See form E.) 4. The receipt to the voucher must be signed, when practicable, by a principal. When this is not practicable, the recruiting officer will add to his own certificate a statement that the agent is duly authorized to sign the receipt. .">. When an individual makes "his mark" instead of signing his name to the receipt, it must be witnessed by a third person. G. Expenditures must be confined to items stated in the Regulations. In an rnforeseen emergency, requiring a deviation from this rule, a full explanation must he appended to the voucher for the expenditure ; and if this be not satisfactory, the accouut will be charged in the Treasury against the recruiting officer. 7.

DEPOTS FOR COLLECTING AND INSTRUCTING RECRUITS. 1441. The depots for recruits are established by orders from the Ad- jutant and Inspector General's office. RECRUITING SERVICE. 393 1442. To each depot there will be assigned a suitable number of of- ficers to command and instruct the recruits ; and, when necessary, such Dumber of enlisted men as may be designated at the Adjutant and In- spector General's office, will be selected for the permanent party, to do garrison duty and for drill masters. 14-13. The number of recruits at depots to be assigned to each arm ami regiment is directed from the Adjutant and Inspector General's of- fice. . • 1444. The recruits are to be dressed in uniform according to their re- spective arms, and will lie regularly mastered and inspected. They are to he well drilled in the infantry tactb-s, through the school of tl dier to that of the battalion, and in the exercise of field and garrison pieces. Duty is to be done according to the strict rules of service. 1445. The general superintendent will cause such of the recruits as are found to possess a natural talent for music, to be instructed (besides the drill of the soMier) on the file, bugle, and drum, and other military instruments; and buys of twelve years of age and upward may. under his direction, be enlisted for this purpose. But as recruits under eighteen }-ears of age and under size must be discharged, if they are not capable of learning music, care should be taken to enlist those only who have a natural talent for music, and, if practicable, they should be taken on trial for some time before being enlisted. 1446. Regiments will be furnished with field music on the requisi- tions of their commanders, made, from time to time, direct on the gene- ral superintendent ; and when requested by regimental commanders, the superintendents will endeavor to have suitable men selected from the recruits, or enlisted for the regimental bands. 1447. To give encouragement to the recruits, and hold out induce- ments to good conduct, the commanding officer of the depot may pro- mote Mich of them to be lance corpora/.-; and lance sergeants as exhibit the requisite qualifications, not exceeding the proper proportion to the number of recruits at the depot. These appointments will be an- nounced in orders in the usual way, and will be continued in force until they join their regiments, unless sooner revoked. No allowance of pay or emoluments is to be assigned to these appointments ; they are only to be considered as recommendations to the captains of companies and colonels of regiments for the p'aees in which the recruits may have acted ; but such non commissioned officers are to be treated with all the respect and to have all the authority which may belong to the stations of sergeant and corporal. 144S. Permanent parties at depots, and recruiting parties, will be mustered, inspected, and paid in the same manner as other soldiers. Recruits will he mustered for pay only at depots, and when paid there, one-half of their monthly pay will be retained until they join their regi- ments. 1449. When recruits are received at a garrisoned post, the command- ing officer will place them under the charge of a commissioned officer. L450. Recruits are not to be put to any labor or work which, would interfere with their instruction, nor arc they to be employed otherwise than as soldiers, in the regular duties of garrison and camp. 1451. Every enlisted man discharged as a minor, or for other cause 394 RECRUITING SERVICE. involving fraud on his part in the enlistment, or discharged by tlie civil authority, shall forfeit all pay and allowances due at the time of the discharge. 1452. The Rules and Articles of War are to he read to the recruits every month, after the inspection ; and so much thereof as relates to the duties of non commissioned officers and soldiers will be read to them every week. INSPECTION OF RECRUITS AT DEPOTS AND POSTS. 1453. The superintendent or commanding officer will cause a minute and critical inspection to be made of every recruit received at a depot two days after his arrival ; and should any recruit be found unfit for service, or to have been enlisted contrary to law or regulations, he shall assemble a Hoard of Inspectors, to examine into the case. A board may also be assembled in a special case, when a concealed defect may become manifest in a recruit, at any time during his detention at the depot. 1454. Every detachment ordered from a depot to any regiment <>r post shall, immediately preceding its departure, be critically inspected by the superintendent or commanding < fficer and surgeon ; and, when necessary, a Board of Inspectors will be convened. 1455. Recruits received at a military post or station shall be carefully inspected by the commanding officer and surgeon, on the third day after their arrival; and if, on sudi inspection, any recruit, in their opinion, be unsound or otherwise defective in such degree as to disqualify him for the duties of a soldier, then a Board of Inspectors will be assem- bled to examine into and report on the case. (See paragraphs 1438. 1439,1440.) F 1456. Boards for the inspection of recruits will be composed of the three senior regimental officers present on duty with the troops', in- cluding the commanding offic r, and the senior medical officer of the army present. REJECTED RECRUITS. 1457. In all cases of rejection, the reasons therefor will be stated at large in a special report, to be made by the board ; which, together with the surgeon's certificate of disability for service, will i>e forwarded by the superintendent or commandanr of the post direct to the Adjutant and Inspector General. In all such cases, the commanding office* will cause the articles of clothing which may have been issued to the re- cruit, with the price of each article, to be endorsed on the certificates of disability. If the recommendation of the board for the discharge uf the recruit he approved, the authority therefor will be endorsed on the cer- tificate, which will be sent back to be filled up and signed by the com- manding officer, who will return the same to tiie Adjutant and Inspec- tor General's office. 145S. The board will state in the report whether the disability, or other cause of rejection, existed before his enlistment, and whether, with proper care and examination, it might not have been discovered. RECRUITS SENT TO REGIMENTS. 1459. An officer entrusted with the command of recruits ordered to RECRUITING SERVICE. 395 regiments will, on arriving at the place of destination, forward the following papers: 1. To the Adjutant and Inspector General and the Superintendent, each, a descriptive roll and an account of clothing of such men as may have deserted, died, or heen left on the route from any cause whatever, with date and place ; also, a special report of the date of his arrival at the post, the strength and condition of the detachment when turned over to the commanding officer, and all circumstances worthy of remark which may have occurred on the march. 2. To the Commanding Officer of the regiment or post, the muster and descriptive roll furnished him at the time of setting out, properly signed and completed by recording the names of the recruits present, and by noting in the column for remarks, opposite the appropriate spaces, the time and place of death, desertion, apprehension, or other casualty that may have occurred on the route. 1460. Should an officer 1 e relieved in charge of a detachment en route, before it reaches its destination, tlie date and place, and name of the officer by whom it is relieved, must be recorded on the detachment roll. Without the evidence of such record, no charge for extra pay for clothing accountability of a detachment equal to a company will be allowed. 1461. The " original muster and descriptive roll" of every detach- ment, with remarks showing the final disposition of each recruit, and the regiment and letter of the company to which he may be assigned, will be signed and forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector General by the commanding officer who makes the assignment. If the recruits embraced in one roll happen to be assigned to different posts, the origi- nal roll is to continue with the last detachment to its destination, each commander completing it so far as concerns the recruits left at his post. When this is not practicable, extracts from the original roll are to be made by the authority which distributes the recruits, to accompany the several detachments and to be forwarded to the Adjutant and Inspector General as in case of the original roll. REGH.ENtAL RECRUITING SERVICE. 1462. Tho regimental recruiting will be conducted in the manner prescribed for the general service. 1463. Every commander of a regiment is the superintendent of the recruiting service for his regiment, and will endeavor to keep it up to its establishment, for which purpose he will obtain the necessary funds, clothing, &c, by requisition to the Adjutant General. 1464. At every station occupied by his regiment, or any part of it, the colonel will designate a suitable officer to attend to the recruiting duties ; which selection will not relieve such officer from his company or other ordinary duties. The officer thus designated will be kept con- stantly furnished with funds, and, when necessary, with clothing and camp equipage. (See paragraph 1441.) 1465. The regimental recruiting officer will, with the approbation of the commanding officer of the station, enlist all suitable men. lie will be governed, in rendering his accounts and returns, by the rules pre- scribed for the general service; and when leaving a post, will turn over the funds in his hands to the senior company officer of his regiment present, unless some other be appointed to receive them. 396 RECRUITING SERVICE — FORMS.
