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 than ten days, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers
bo employed are enrolled as extra-duty men, and are allowed
twenty-five cents a day'when employed as laborers and teams¬
ters, and forty cents a day when employed as mechanics, at all
stations east of the Rocky Mountains, and thirty-five and fifty
Cents per day, respectively, at all stations west of those moun¬
tains.
Enlisted men of the Ordnance and Engineer Departments,
and artificers of artillery, are not entitled to this allowance
when employed in their appropriate work.
Soldiers shall not be employed as extra-duty men for any
labor in camp or garrison which can properly be performed by
fatigue parties.
No extra-duty men, except those required for the ordinary
service of the Quartermaster' Commissary, and Medical Depart¬
ments, and sadlers in mounted companies, will be employed with¬
out previous authority from department head-quarters, except in
case of necessity, which shall be promptly reported to the de¬
partment commander.
Extra-duty pay of the soldier in a mounted company will be
charged on the company muster-roll, to be paid by the Quarter¬
master 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 officer commanding a working party will conform to the
directions and plans of the engineer or other officer directing
the work, without regard to rank.
A day's work shall not exceed ten hours in summer, nor eight
in winter. Soldiers are paid in proportion for any greater num¬
ber of hours they are employed each day. Summer is con¬
sidered to commence on the 1st of April, and winter on the 1st
of October.
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 discipline is the object for which the army is kept on foot,
and that they are not to employ the troops when not in the field,

and especially the mounted troops, in labors that interfere with
their military duties and exercises, except in case of immediate
necessity, which shall be forthwith reported for the orders of the
War Department.
public property, money, and accounts.
All officers of the Pay, Commissary, and Quartermaster's De¬
partments, 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 aceount for
all moneys and public property which they may receive, in such
sums as the Secretary of War shall direct; and the officers
aforesaid shall renew their bonds every four years, and oftener
if the Secretary of War shall so require, and whenever they re¬
ceive a new commission or appointment.
The sureties to the bond shall be bound jointly and severally
for the whole amount of the bond, and shall satisfy the Secreta¬
ry of War that they are worth jointly double the amount of the
bond, by the affidavit 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.
The chiefs of disbursing departments who submit requisitions
for money to be remitted to disbursing officers, shall take care
that no more money than actually needed is in the hands of any
officer.
The Treasury Department having provided, by arrangement
with the assistant treasurers at various points, secure deposito¬
ries for funds in the hands of disbursing officers, all disbursing
officers are required to avail themselves, as"far as possible, of this
arrangement, by depositing with the assistant treasurer such
funds as are not wanted for immediate use, and drawing the
same in convenient sums as wanted.
■ 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 ac¬
cording to law ; and payments shall be made in the funds so re¬
ceived for the drafts, unless said funds or said drafts, can be ex¬
changed for gold and silver at par. If any disbursing officer

from a creditor of the Confederate States without having paid
to such creditor, in such funds as he received for disbursement,
or such other funds as he is 'authorized by the preceding article
to take in exchange, the full amount specified in such receipt or
voucher; and every such act shall be deemed to be a conversion
to his Ovvn use of the amount specified in such receipt or voucher.
And no officer in the military service charged with the safe
keeping, transfer, or disbursement of public money, shall con¬
vert to his own use, or invest in any kind of merchandize or pro¬
perty, or loan with or without interest, or deposit in any bank,
or exchange for any funds, except as allowed in the preceding
article, any public money intrusted to him ; any every such act
shall be deemed to be a felony and an embezzlement of so much
money as may be so taken, converted, invested, used, loaned,
deposited, or exchanged.
Any officer who shall directly or indirectly sell or dispose of,
for a premium, any treasury note, draft, warrant, or other pub¬
lic 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 dis¬
missed by the President.'
If any disbursing officer shall* bet at cards or any game of
hazard, his commanding officer shall suspend his function's and
require him to turn over all the public funds in his keeping, and
shall immediately report the case to the proper bureau of the
War Department.
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 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.

must be witnessed.

partment to officers on distant stations, where they cannot re¬
ceive their pay and emoluments regularly; but in all cases of
contracts for the performance of any service, or the delivery of

for the military service shall be concerned, directly or indirect¬
ly, in the purchase or sale, for commercial purposes, of any ar¬
ticle intended for, making a part of, or appertaining to the de¬
partment of the public service in which he is engaged, nor shall
take or apply to his own use any gain or emolument for nego¬
tiating or transacting any public business other than what is or
may be allowed by law.
No wagon-master or forage-master shall be interested or con¬
cerned, directly or indirectly, in any wagon or other means ef
transport employed by the Confederate States, nor in the pur¬
chase or sale of any property procured for or belonging to the
Confederate States, except as the agent of the Confederate
States.

ments is or are fixed by law or regulations, shall receive any ad¬

tion of the object, necessity, and propriety of the expenditure.

and property appertaining to the service from which he is re¬
lieved, to his successor, unless otherwise ordered.
This chief of each military bureau of the War Department
shall, under the direction of the Secretary of War, regulate, as

Military commanders charged with the embarkation of troops,
and officers of the Quartermaster's Department intrusted with
the selection of the transports, will take care that the vessels
are entirely seaworthy and proper for such service, and that
suitable arrangements are made in them for the health and
comfort of the troops.
If, in the opinion of the officer commanding the troops to be
embarked, the vessel is not proper or suitably arranged, the

officer charged with the embarkation shall cause her to he in¬
spected by competent and experienced persons.
' Immediately after embarking, the men will be assigned to
quarters, equal parties on each side of the ship, and no man
will be allowed to loiter or sleep on the opposite side. As far
as practicable, the men of each company will be assigned to the
same part of the vessel, and the squads, in the same manner, to
contiguous berths.
Arms will be 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.
Ammunition in cartridge-boxes to be so placed as to be en¬
tirely 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 ser¬
vice ammunition, to insure, its safety and good condition.
No officer is to sleep out of his ship, or to quit his ship, with¬
out the sanction of the officer commanding*on board.
The guard will be proportioned to the number of sentinels
required. At sea the guard will mount with side arms only.
The officer of the guard will be 'officer of the day.
Sentinels will be kept over the fires, with buckets of water at
hand, promptly to extinguish fires. Smoking 'is prohibited
between decks or in the cabins, at all times ; nor shall any lights
be allowed between decks, except such ship lanterns as the
master of the transport may direct, or those carried by the offi¬
cer of the day in the execution of his duty.
Regulations will be adopted to enable companies or messes to
cook in turn; no others than those whose turn it is, will be
allowed to loiter around or approach the galleys or other cook¬
ing' places.
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 can¬
not be advantageously employed with small arms, will be formed
as a reserve between decks.
All the troops will turn out at A. M., without arms or
uniform, and (in warm weather) without shoes or stockings;
when every individual will be clean, his hands, face and feet
washed, and his hair combed. The same personal inspection

will be repeated thirty minutes before sunset. The cooks alone
may be exempt from one of these inspections per day, if neces¬
sary.
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.
Officers will enforce cleanliness as indispensable to health.
When the weather will permit, bedding will be brought on deck
every morning fur airing. Tubs may be fixed on the forecastle
for bathing, or the men may be placed in the chains and have
buckets of water thrown over them.
Betiveen 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 direction of the Surgeon and the officer of
the day, frequent fumigations will be performed between decks.
The materials required are—common salt, four ounces; pow¬
dered 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
disinfecting agents.
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 obstructed.
During cooking hours, the officers of companies visit the cam-
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 after use.
The bedding will be replaced in the berths at sunset, or at an
earlier hour when there is a prospect of bad weather; and at
tattoo 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.
Lights will be extinguished at tattoo, except such as are placed
under sentinels. The officer of the day will see to it, and report
to the commanding officer. The officers' lights will be extin¬
guished at 10 o'clock, unless special permission be given to con¬
tinue them for a longer time, as in case of sickness or other
emergency.
For the sake of exercise, the troops will be occasionally called
to quarters by the beat to arms. Those appointed to the guns

will be frequently exercised in the use of them. The arms and
accoutrements will be frequently inspected. The metalic parts
of the former will be often wiped and greased again.
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.
At morning and evening parades, the Surgeon will examine
the men, to observe whether there be any appearance of disease.
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 diseased men removed to her.
A good supply of hospital stores and medicines will be taken
on each vessel, and used only for the sick and convalescent.
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, ai;e "prejudicial.
In harbor, where there is no danger from sharks, the men may
bathe; but not more thaA ten at a time, and attended by a boat.
In fitting up a vessel for the transportation of horses, care is
to be taken that the requisite arrangements are made for conve¬
niently feeding and cleaning them, and to secure them from in¬
jury in rough weather by ropes attached to breast-straps and
breeching, or by other suitable means; and especially that pro¬
per ventilation is provided by openings in the upper deck, wind-
sails, &c. The ventilation of steamers may be assisted by using
the engine for that purpose.
Horses should not be put on board after severe exercise or
when heated. In hoisting them on board, the slings should be
made fast to a hook at the end of the fall, or the knot tied by
an expert seaman, so that It may be well 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.
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 huurs,
and, occasionally, the mangers should be washed and the nostrils
of the horses sponged with vinegar and water.

' In loading vessels with stores for a military expedition, the
cargo of each should be composed of an assortment of such
stores as may be available for service in case of the non-arrival
of others, and they should be placed on board in such a manner
that they may be easily reached, in the order in which they are
required for service. Each store-ship should be marked, at the
bow and stern, on both sides, in large characters, with a distinc¬
tive 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 des¬
tination.
battles.
Before the action, the quartermaster of the division makes all
the necessary arrangements for the transportation of the wound¬
ed. He establishes the ambulance depots in the rear, and gives
his assistants the necessary instruction for the service of the am¬
bulance wagons and other means of removing the wounded.
The ambulance depot, to which the .wounded are carried or
directed for immediate treatment, is generally established at the
most convenient building nearest the field of battle. A red flag
marks its place, or the way to it, to the conductors of the am¬
bulances and to the wounded who can walk.
The active ambulances follow the troops engaged to succor
the wounded and remove them to the depots; for this purpose
the conductors should always have the necssary assistants, that
the soldiers may have no excuse to leave the ranks for that ob¬
ject.
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 am¬
bulances. He will send officers and attendants, when practica¬
ble, to the active ambulances, to relieve the wounded who re¬
quire treatment before being removed 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.
If the enemy endanger the depot, the quartermaster takes
the orders of the General to remove it or to strengthen its
guard.
The wounded in the depots and the sick are removed, as soon
as possible, to the hospitals that have been established by the
quartermaster's department.

baggage trains.
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 conduct and
command the trains under the orders they receive from their re-
spective head-quarters. 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.
The Assistant-Quartermaster has charge of the wagons,
horses, equipments, and all means of transport employed in the
service of the regiment. Under the orders of the Colonel, he
assembles them for the march, and maintains the order and
police of the train in park and on the march. On marches, the
regimental trains are under the orders of the quartermaster of
the division. When the march is by brigade, the senior Assis¬
tant-Quartermaster in the brigade, or the quartermaster of the
brigade, has the direction of the Avhole. The necessary wagon-
masters, or non-commissioned officers to act as such, are em¬
ployed with the several trains.
None but the authorized wagons are allowed to march with
the train. The wagons of the several head-quarters, the regi-
mental wagons and the wagons of sutlers authorized by orders
from head-quarters to march with the train, are all to be con¬
spicuously marked.
When the train of head-quarters is to have a guard, the
strength of the guard is regulated by the General. Generals of
Brigade guard their trains by the men attached to the train of
the first regiment of their brigades. The regimental trains are
loaded, unloaded, and guarded, as far as practicable, by conva¬
lescents 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 escorts
take effect.
Habitually each division is followed by its train, the regi¬
mental train uniting at the brigade rendezvous. When other-

wise, 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.
The wagon-masters, under the orders of the officers of the
Quartermaster's Department, exercise the necessary restraints
over the teamsters and servants who leave their teams, or do
not properly conduct them; or who ill-treat their horses, or who
attempt to pillage, or run away in case of an attack.
The officers of the Quartermaster's Department, the wagon-
masters, and all conductors of trains, are charged with watching
