No. 1. ) Washington, January 2, 1863.
The following proclamation by the President is published for the information and
government of the Army and all concerned :
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION".
Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thou-
sand eight hundred and sixty-two, a Proclamation was issued by the President of the
United States, containing, among other things the following, to wit:
a That oh the first clay of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty- three, all parsons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State,
the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then,
thenceforward, and forever, free; and the Executive government of the United States,
includi«g the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the
freedom of such persons, and- will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of
them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
"That the Executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, des-
ignate the States, and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively,
shall then be in rebellion against the United States ; and the fact that any State, or the
people thereof, shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the
United States, by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the quali-
fied voters of such States shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong coun-
tervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State, and the people
thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States."
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the
power in me vested as Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,
in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United
States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this
first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-
three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly proclaimed for the full pe-
riod of one hundred days from the day first above mentioned, order and designate as the
States and parts of States, wherein the people thereof, respectively, are this day in re-
bellion against the United States, the following, to wit :
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jeffer-
son, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, Terre Bonne, Lafourche,
St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans,) Mississippi, Ala-
bama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-
eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkeley, Accomac,
Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of
Norfolk and Portsmouth,) and which excepted parts are for the present left precisely as
if this Proclamation were not issued.
And by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that
all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States, are and
henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States,
including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the
freedom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free, to abstain from all vio-

lence, unless in necessary self defence ; and I recommend to them that, in all cases when
allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.
And I farther declare and make known that such persons, of suitable condition, will
bereceived into the armed service of the United States, to garrison forts, positions, sta-
tions, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service. .
And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice warranted by the Consti-
tution upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the
gracious favor of Almighty God.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the- United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one
r -■ thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United
*• ' 'J States of America, the eighty-seventh.

4 General : The Major General Commanding directs that you start at one o'clock to-
night and come forward with your whole corps, or such part of it as is with you, so as
to be here by daylight to-morrow morning. Hooker has had a very severe action with
the enemy, with a loss of about three hundred killed and wounded. The enemy has
been driven back, but is retiring along the railroad. We must drive him from Manas-
sas, and clear the country between that place and Gainesville, where McDowell is. If
Morrell has not joined you, send word to him to push forward immediately ; also send
word to Banks to hurry forward with all speed, to take your place at Warrenton Junc-
tion. It is necessary, on all accounts, that you should be here by daylight. I send an
officer with this dispatch, who will conduct yon to this place. Be sure to send word to
Banks, who is on the road to Fayetteville, probably in the direction of Bealton. Say
to Banks, also, that he had best run back the railroad train to this side of Cedar Run.
If he is not with you, write him to that effect.

Specification 2d — "In this; that the said Major General Fitz-John Porter, beino- in
front of the enemy, at Manassas, Virginia, on or. about the morning of August 29, 1862
did receive from Major General John Pope, his superior and Commanding Officer a
lawful order, in the following letters and figures, to wit :
' Headquarters Army of Virginia,
' Centreville, August 29, 1862.
4 Generals McDowell and Porter :
' You will please move forward with your joint commands towards Gainesville. I
sent General Porter "written orders to that effect an hour and a half ago. Heintzelman,
Sigel and Reno are moving on the Warrenton turnpike, and must now be not far from
Gainesville. I desire, that as soon as communication is established between this force
and your own, the whole command shall halt. It may be necessary to fall back behind
Bull Run at Centreville to-night. I presume it will be so on account of our supplies.
I have sent no orders of any description to Ricketts, and none to interfere in any way
with the movements of McDowell's troops, except what I sent by his Aide-de-Camp last
night, which were to hold his position on the Warrenton pike until the troops from here
should fall on the enemy's flank and rear. I do not even know Ricketts' position, as I
have not been able to find out where General McDowell was until a late hour this morning.
General McDowell will take immediate steps to communicate with General Ricketts, and in
struct him to join the other divisions of his corps as soon as practicable. If any considera-
ble advantages are to be gained by departing from this order, it will not be strictly car-
ried out. One thing must be held in view ; that the troops must occupy a position from
which they. can reach Bull Run to-night or by morning. The indications are that the
whole force of the enemy is moving in this direction at a pace that will bring them here
by to-morrow night or the next day. My own headquarters will for the present be with
Heintzel man's corps, or at this place.

victory, and to capture the enemy's army, a result which must have followed from said
flank attack, had it been made by the said General Porter in compliance with the said

that a severe action of great consequence was being fought, and that the aid of his
corps was greatly needed, did fail all day to bring it on to the field, and did shame-

retiring from the field, did shamefully fail to go to the aid of the said troops and gen-
eral, and did shamefully retreat away and fall back with his army to the Manassas
Junction, and leave to the disasters of a presumed defeat the said army; and did fail,
by any attempt to attack the enemy, to aid in averting the misfortunes of a disaster
that would have endangered the safety of the capital of the country. This at or near

of battle of Manassas, on Saturday, the 30th August, 1802, having received a lawful
order from his superior officer and commanding general, Major General John Pope,
to engage the enemy's lines and to carry a position near their centre, and to take an
annoying battery there posted, did proceed in the execution of that order with unne-
cessary slowness, and by delays give the enemy opportunities to watch and know his
movements, and to prepare to meet his attack ; and did finally so feebly fall upon the
enemy's lines as to make little or no impression on the same, and did fall back and
draw away his forces unnecessarily, and without making any of the great personal
efforts to rally his troops or to keep their lines, or to inspire his troops to meet the sac-
rifices and to make the resistance demanded by the importance of his position, and
the momentous consequences and disasters of a retreat at so critical a juncture of the
day."

The Secretary of War with great regret announces the decease of another veteran offi-
cer, Colonel John J. Abert, late Chief of the United States Corps of Topographical En-
gineers, who died at his residence in this city, the 27th instant, at an advanced age.
Colonel Abert entered as a cadet of the Military Academy in the year 1808, only six
years after its first establishment *by law. Leaving the Academy in 1811, he was from
then until November, 1814, employed in the War Office. While thus engaged, he volun-
teered as a private soldier for the defense of the Capital ; and his services on that occa-
sion were acknowledged by conferring upon him a land warrant, under the existing
laws. He was appointed Topographical Engineer, with rank of Major, November 22,
1814. At that time there was no organized corps of those officers, but they formed a
part of the General Staff, and served with generals in the field. After the close of the
war they were employed in surveys of the sea-coast and inland frontiers, reporting to
the Chief of Engineers ; and the results of their labors were collected in a Topographical
Bureau, established in the War Department May 5, 1820, as a part of the Engineer De-
partment, under charge of Major Koberdeau. On the reorganization of the Army in
1816, Major Abert was retained. In 1824 he was brevctted Lieutenant Colonel for ten
years' faithful service in one grade ; and at the death of Colonel Roberdeau, February
12, 1829, he was appointed to the charge of the Topographical Bureau. As the duties
of his Bureau increased in magnitude and importance, Colonel Abert exerted himself to
cause it to be made a distinct branch of the War Department, which he effected June 22,
1831. At this time his corps consisted of six majors and four captains by brevet, and
six civil engineers ; besides which some twenty subalterns of the line of the Army were
detailed on topographical duty under his orders. At length, by act of Congress ap-
proved July 7, 1838, the present Corps of Topographical Engineers was organized and
created one of the Staff Corps of the Army, with the officer to whose fostering care and
judicious management it mainly owed its existence, for its colonel and chief. Colonel
Abert was, in fact, at the head of his corps for upwards of thirty-two years, until he was
honorably retired from active duty the 11th September, 1861, having become incapaci-
tated by long and faithful service from further attendance at his office.
The Army and the country will not need to be reminded of the vast interest and value
attached to the operations of this corps since its organization. The geographical and
other information concerning this continent which its officers have collected and pub-
lished, has challenged the admiration of the scientific world ; while the practical benefit
of their labors has been felt in nearly every State and every Territory ; the whole form-
ing a proud monument to him who was its founder.
As a citizen and a man, Colonel Abert was remarkable for the steadfastness of his

friendships, for his candor and unostentatious hospitality. Equally unostentatious, but
no less sincere, was the simple piety which supported his declining years, and left be-
hind an example which the proudest soldier may not be ashamed to follow.
In respect to his memory, the officers of Topographical Engineers will" wear the badge
of mourning for thirty days.

of January, 1863, pursuant to General Orders, No. 13, dated the 17th January, 1863, from
the Headquarters 2d Division, 2d Corps, Army of the Potomac, and of which Lieutenant
Colonel Query, 106th Pennsylvania Volunteers, was President, was arraigned and tried —
1st Lieutenant Joseph Nichols, 19th Maine Volunteers.
Charge 1st. — Conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline."
Specification — "In this; that he, the said Joseph Nichols, 1st Lieutenant Co. C, 19th
Maine Volunteers, did tender his resignation while near the enemy, under an alle-
gation or pretext of the inexpediency and unconstitutionality of a proclamation
of the President of the United States ; thereby affording an example deeply inju-
rious to the service, and meddling with the war policy of the Government, with
which he has nothing to do."
Charge 2d. — " Disloyalty to the Government."
Specification — "In this; that he, the said Joseph Nichols, 1st Lieutenant Co. C, 19th
Maine Volunteers, entertains ideas in opposition to the Government, expressing
his belief of the inexpediency and unconstitutionality of one of its leading meas-
ures, and stating further that he cannot serve conscientiously and zealously under
it, the said measure being expressly intended to weaken the enemies of theUnited
States. All this at camp near Falmouth, on or about the 12th of January, 1863."

The Court, after mature deliberation upon the evidence adduced, finds the accused as
follows :
Of the Specification, 1st Charge, " Guilty," except the words " and meddling with the
"war policy of the government, with which he has nothing to do."

Of the 2d Charge, "Not Guilty."
Sentence.
And the Court does therefore sentence him, the said First Lieutenant Joseph Nichols,
19th Maine Volunteers, ;' To be dismissed the service of the United States, receiving his pay
and allowances."
]I. — This officer tendered his resignation when in front of the enemy, on the ground
that he regarded the President's Emancipation Proclamation as inexpedient and uncon-
stitutional, and in consequence could not conscientiously ser\*e under it. He was tried
under charges of disloyalty and of conduct prejudicial to good order and military disci-
pline, and was sentenced to be dismissed with his pay, and allowances. The sentence was
disapproved by Major Generals Couch and Sumner as too lenient, and the latter " ear-
nestly recommends that this officer shall be dishonorably dismissed, the service, with the loss
of all pay and allowances."
By direction of the President, the above recommendation is approved, and will be im-
mediately carried into effect.

At a General Court Martial, which convened at the Headquarters of the 19th Massa-

GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 1<T
to General Orders No. 2, elated Headquarters 2d Division, 2d Corps, Army of the Poto-
mac, near Falmouth, Virginia, January 4, 1863, and of which Lieutenant Colonel A. F.
Devereux, 19th Massachusetts Volunteers, was President, was arraigned and tried-
Surgeon John Malone, 71st Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Charge.—" Violation of the 39th Article of War."
Specification 1st— "In this; that he, the said John 3falone, Surgeon of the 71st Regi-
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, did make, or cause to be made, accounts under
date of October and November, 1862, for the sum of nineteen dollars and fifty-
nine cents, ($19.59,) and received said sum frbm the Regimental Hospital fund
account, on or about December 8, 1862, said account for $19.59 being in part or
entirely a fraud."
Specification 2d—" In this ; that he, the said John Malone, Surgeon of the 71st Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers, did make or cause to be made, accounts, under date of
December, 1862, for the sum of forty-two [dollars] and eighty cents, ($42.80,) and
* received said sum from the Regimental Hospital fund account, on or about De-
cember 31, 1862, said account for the $42.80, being in part or entirely a fraud'1
Specification 3d — " In this;, that he, the said John Malone, Surgeon of the 71st Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers, did make or cause to be made, accounts under date of
1862, for the sum of seventy-four dollars and sixty cents, ($74.60,) and received
said sum from the Regimental Hospital fund account, on or about December 31r
1862, said account for $74.60 being in part or entirely a fraud. All this at camp
near Falmouth, Virginia."
To which charge and specifications the accused pleaded, " Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Court, after mature deliberation upon the evidence adduced, finds the accused as
follows :
Of the 1st Specification, " Guilty."
Of the 2d Specification, "Guilty."
Of the 3d Specification, " Guilty."
Of the Charge, "Not Guilty, but Guilty of Crime under provisions of 39th Article
of War."
Sentence.
And the Court does therefore sentence him, the said John Malone, Surgeon of the 71st
Pennsylvania Volunteers, " To be cashiered and refund to the United States the sum of
$95.24."
II. — The record of the proceedings in the foregoing case is fatally defective. It does
not show either that the Judge Advocate was sworn, or that the accused, was, previous-
ly to the trial, asked whether he had any objection to any member of .the Court. (See para-
graph 891, General Regulations.) While for this cause the sentence of the Court must
be held to be inoperative, the offences of which the accused was proved to be guilty
would justify and call for his dismissal. Surgeon John Malone, 71st Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, is accordingly, by direction of the President of the United States, dismissed the
service.

REGULATIONS FOR THE CARE OF THE FIELD WORKS, AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THEIR
GARRISONS.
1. It will be the duty of the commanding officer of each work'to provide for the care
of the armament, and the safety and serviceable condition of the magazines, ammuni-
tion, implements, and equipments ; and, by frequent personal inspections, to secure the
observance of the rules prescribed for this purpose.
2. The fixed armament, consisting of the heavy guns, and those whose positions are
prescribed, will be numbered in a regular series, commencing with the first gun on the
right, as you enter, of fche main gate. The ammunition will be kept in the magazines,
with the exception of a few stands of grape, canister, and the solid shot which will be
piled near the guns.
3. The gun-carriages will be kept clean ; they will be traversed daily, and never be
allowed to rest for two successive days on the same part of the traverse circle. If
40 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
the gun-carriage does not move easily on the chassis, the tongue will be occasionally
greased. The gun-carriage should not rest habitually on one part of the chassis.
4. The elevating screw and its box will be kept clean and well greased. When the
guns are not in use, the screw will be run down as far as it will go, the breach of the
piece being raised until the muzzle is sufficiently depressed to prevent water running
into it, and kept in that position by a wooden quoin or block. The tompion to be kept
in the muzzle, and the apron over the vent.
• 5. Thepiece is not to be kept loaded. It will be time to load when the enemy appears, or
when special orders to load are given.
6. The commanding officer will see that a shed is constructed for the implements and
equipments. For each drill these will be issued to the gunners by the ordnance sergeant
or other non-commissioned officer acting as such, who will receive and put them away
after the drill is over, and be at all times responsible to the commanding officer for their
safety, and that the supply is adequate. Until sheds are provided, the implements will
be kept near the pieces. The equipments (haversacks, tube pouch, &c.) may be kept at
the entrance of the magazine, where they will be sheltered. Platforms for projectiles
will be laid near the guns; for canisters a couple of pieces of scantling for skids will
answer. A water shed, made by joining two boards together at the edges, should bo
placed over them. When the wooden sabots get wet, they swell and burst the canisters,
so that they cannot be put into the gun. When this happens, dry the canister until
the block shrinks sufficiently, and tack the canister edges together.
7. When not furnished by the Engineer Department, materials for constructing the
sheds and for skidding will be furnished on requisitions made to the Chief of Ar-
tillery.
8. The magazines must in dry weather be frequently aired. For this purpose, the
ventilators and doors will be opened after nine a.m., and must be closed, at latest, two
hours before sunset. The ammunition for different classes of guns will be carefully
assorted, and the shelves, boxes, or barrels containing each, kind properly marked.
When there is more than one magazine, the ammunition will be so distributed as to
be nearest to the particular guns from which it is to be used. Cartridges must be
moved, and, if necessary, rolled once a week, to prevent caking of the powder. Friction
primers will be carefully dried in the sun once a week, and always after .a day's or
night's rain. At least two lanyards for each gun will be kept in store. As soon as
received, their hooks will be tested, to see if they are sufficiently small to enter the eye
of the primer and yet strong enough for use.
9. No person will be allowed to enter the magazines except on duty, and then every
precaution against accidents will be taken. Lights must always be in glass lanterns,
and carried only by the pierson in charge of the magazine. Swords, pistols, canes, &c,
will not be admitted, no matter what may be the rank of the person carrying them.
Socks or moccasins will be worn, if they can be procured. No lire nor smoking will be
allowed in the vicinity when the doors or ventilators are open. Too much pains cannot
possibly be taken to avoid the chances of an exp>losion.
10. Companies will be assigned to guns in such proportions as will furnish at least
two, preferably three, reliefs in working them, and sufficient men, in a'dclition, for the
supply of ammunition from the magazines. From fifteen to twenty men should there-
fore be assigned to each gun, and instructed in its use. Companies should habitually
serve the same guns ; each man being assigned a special number at the gun, and.
thoroughly instructed in all its duties, and, as occasion offers, in the duties of all the
numbers. Every night, at retreat or tattoo, the men who are to man the guns in case of
a night attack should be paraded at their pieces and inspected, to see that all their
equipments, implements, and ammunition are in good order, and the gun in serviceable
condition and easy working order. The men so stationed should " call off" their num-
bers before being dismissed, and in case of alarm repair at once to their posts, equip
themselves, and await ci'ders.
11. Each gun should be under charge of a non-commissioned officer, and every two
or three guns under a Lieutenant, who will be responsible to the Captain for their ser-
viceable condition at all times. The Captain will be responsible to the commanding
officer for the condition of the pieces and the instruction of the«men of his Company.
Artillery drills will be frequent until all the men are well instructed, and there will
never be less than one Artillery drill a day when the weather will permit. For action,
all the cannoneers not actually serving the guns will be provided with muskets, and
will be stationed next the guns to which they belong.
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 47
12. Each company should be supplied with three copies of the Tactics for Heavy
Artillery, and rigidly adhere to its directions. Tables of Ranges will be found in the
work. One copy°of " Instructions for Field Artillery" should be supplied each company.
They can be obtained on written application to the Chief of Artillery, who will obtain
them from the Adjutant General of the Army. The books so drawn are the property of
the United States for the use of the company; they will be borne on the muster-rolls.
13. The commanding officer will make himself acquainted with the approaches to
his work, the distance to each prominent point commanded by his guns, the nature of
the ground between them and his post, and the most probable points of attack upon it.
Tables of ranges or distances for each point, and the corresponding elevations in each
case, according to the nature of the projectile, with the proper length or time of the
fuze when shell or case-shot are used, will be made out for each gun, and furnished to
the officer and non-commissioned officers serving it. As these tables differ for different
kinds of gun, the same men should be permanently assigned to the same piece.
14. The projectiles should be used in their proper order. At a distance, solid shot ;
then shells or case-shot, especially if firing at troops inline. Gannister or grape is only
for use at short ranges. When columns are approaching, so that they can be taken in
direction of their length, or very obliquely, solid shot is generally the best projectile, be-
cause of its greater accuracy and penetrating power. If the column consist of Cavalry,"
some shells or case-shot will be useful from the disorder their bursting produces among
the horses. As to the absolute distances at which the projectiles must be used, they
vary with the description and calibre of the gun, and can only be ascertained by con-
sulting the Tables of Ranges. The prominent parts on the approaches to the works
should be designated, their distances noted, and directions drawn up for the different
kinds of ammunition to be used at each gun when the enemy reaches them. During
the drills the attention of the chiefs of pieces and gunners should frequently be drawn
to this subject.
15. Commanding officers will pay special attention to the police and preservation of
the works. All tilth will be promptly removed, and the drainage be particularly at-
tended to. No one should be allowed to walk on the parapets, nor move or sit upon
the gabions, barrels, or sand-bags that may be placed upon them. When injuries occur
to the earth-works, they should be repaired as quickly as possible by the garrison of
the work. If of a serious nature, they should at once be reported to the Engineer officer
in charge of the work. All injuries to the magazines or platforms of the guns will be
promptly reported as soon as observed.
16. Special- written instructions as to the supply of ammunition at the different posts,
and the proportion for the different classes of guns, will be furnished by the Chief of
Artillery to the commanders of posts at the earliest period practicable. Instructions
will also be furnished as to the special objects of each work.
17. ISTo persons not connected with the garrisons of the field works will be allowed to
enter them except such as visit them on dut}?-, or who have passes signed by competent
authority ; nor will any person, except commissioned officers, or those whose duty re-
quires them to do'so, be allowed to enter the magazine, or touch the guns, their imple-
ments or equipments.
18. The garrison can greatly improve the work by sodding the superior (upper)' slope
of the parapet, and also the exterior or outer slope, or by sowing grass seed on the su-
perior slope, first covering it with surface soil. The grass-covered or sodded portions of
the parapets, traverses, magazines, &c, should be occasionally watered in dry weather,
and the grass kept closely cut.
19. As a great deal of powder is wasted in unnecessary salutes, attention is called to
paragraph 268 of the Armyt Regulations, edition of 1861.
Paragraph 268. — A general officer will be saluted once in a year at each post, and only
when notice of his intention to visit the post has been given.
20. The practice of building fires on the open parades for cooking and other purpo-
ses is prohibited, as it endangers the magazines.
21. The armament of a fort having been once established, will not be changed except
by authority of the commander of the district, geographical department, or army
corps.
22. The machinery of the Whitworth guns will not be used except by special orders
from the commanding officer of the post. There shall be at each fort and redoubt at
least one drill a day as artillery, and one as infantry.
48
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
23. Particular care must be taken to keep the bores of the rifled guns free from rust,
and always well oiled.
24. The forts will be inspected at such times as the Chief of Artillery may direct, and
a full report of their condition will be made. Particular attention will be paid to the
drill and police of the work in each case, as also to the condition of the armament, am-
munition, and magazines.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRING.
1. The firing in action should be deliberate, never more than will admit of accurate
pointing. A few shots effectively thrown will produce more effect than a larger number
badly directed, although the larger number may have killed the most men.
It is not so important to kill as to inspire terror. The object of killing a portion is
to so frighten the rest as to cause them to run; and to inspire this terror, precision of
fire and consequent certainty of execution, is of infinitely greater importance than a
great noise, rapid firing, and less proportional execution.
2. To secure accuracy of firing, the ground in the neighborhood must be well exam-
ined, and the distance to the different prominent points, within the field, covered by
each gun, noted. The gunners and cannoneers should be informed of these distances,
and in the drills, the gun should be accurately pointed at one or the other of them in
succession, the gunner designating the spot, calling the distance in yards, and. the cor-
responding elevation in minutes and degrees, until all the distances and corresponding
elevations are familiar to the men.
When shell or case shot are used, the time of flight corresponding to the distance
must be given to the man who goes for the projectile. He tells the ordnance sergeant,
or person who furnishes the ammunition, and the latter culs the fuse to burn the required
time.
3. The gunner is responsible for the aiming. He must, therefore, know the distance
to each prominent point in the field covered by his gun, the elevation required to reach

late only 8-pound cartridges, it must first be ascertained what the cartridges in your

4. These tables will be promptly prepared under the direction of the commanding
officer, and copies furnished for each gun, and used habitually in the drills. They will be
examined and verified by the Chief of Artillery.
5. The attention of all officers in charge of artillery in the works is directed to the
articles in the Tactics on " Pointing guns and howitzers," pages 85 to 88.
6. Commanding officers of the works will keep themselves accurately informed of the
amount and kinds of ammunition in the magazines. The supply should be kept up to
100 rounds per gun. When it is less than that amount, a special report will be made of
the fact to the Chief of Artillery, with requisitions for the amount necessary to complete
the supplies. They will also see that the necessary equipments are always on hand for
the service of all the guns, as follows :
For 24 or 32 pdr. guns, the articles named on page^ 47 and 48, Article 97.
For 8-in. seacoast howitzers, the articles named on page 58, Article 117 ; and for oth-
er guns, according to the tables as prescribed in the Tactics.
Note. — Two lanyards and at least 150 friction primers for each gun to be kept on
hand ; one lanyard and a very few primers to be kept in the tube pouch, the others in
the magazine.
One globe or dark lantern for every three guns. Two globe lanterns for each maga-
zine.

With a view to the more prompt and effective execution of so much of " General
Orders,1' No. 191, of November 19, 18G2, as relates to the collecting of paroled troops
at the camps designated, the attention of Mustering and Disbursing Officers, and Re-
cruiting officers of the Regular Army, is again specially called to the provisions of
" General Orders," No. 72, of June 28, 18G2 : and that it may be known what is done
under these orders, the officers referred to will make, to the Superintendent of the Vol-
unteer Recruiting Service in each State, tri-monthly reports of men collected and for-
warded", and the Superintendents will make like reports to the Commissary General of
Prisoners in this city, Col. W. Hoffman, 3d Infantry. These reports will not only give
the numbers, but will also state the steps taken to carry out the order, with such sug-
gestions as they may have to make to promote the object in view.
All stragglers from the army, whether paroled, exchanged, or otherwise, come within
the reach of this order ; and that none may be ignorant of it, officers charged with its exe-
cution will give it circulation in the local newspapers, announcing at the same time that
all absentees who fail to report within five days, will thereafter be considered deser-
ters, for whom the usual reward will be paid on delivery.
At stations where it would be more convenient to do so, detachments will be sent
directly to Camp Parole, at Annapolis, rather than to Elmira, N. Y.

No. 48. J Washington, February 25, 1863.
The following regulations are established in regard to Musters into and out of
the Service of the United States, of Officers and Enlisted Men of Volun-
teers in the Field :
I. — Only officers of the Regular Army (including Additional Aides- de-Camp appointed
by the President, under the act approved August 5, 1861,) will be detailed to muster
into and out of the service of the United States, and no officer will malce these musters
unless detailed to do so by competent authority.
II. — Officers, as aforesaid, will be detailed (under paragraph 1st) by the Corps or De-
partment Commander, as follows :
For each Corps or Department, one officer, to be called the Commissary of Musters
for that Corps or Department, and two enlisted men for clerks in his office, at Corps or
Department Headquarters. All rolls and communications sent to and from the officers
detailed on this service, in any Corps or Department, will be through the Commissary
of Musters for that Corps, who will exercise a supervision over the whole subject of
musters for the Corps or Department to which he belongs.
For each Division, one officer, to be called an Assistaiit Commissary of Musters for that
Division, who will make all musters into and out of the service of the United States for
his Division, and see that all officers of his Division are properly mustered into or out
of the service of the 'United States, as the circumstances of the case may require; he will
also be prepared to give such information on the subject of muster and muster rolls as
may be required by those serving in the Division. He will also provide himself with
blanks, by application to the Commissary of Musters of his Corps or Department. One
enlisted man will be detailed by the Division Commander as clerk in his office. Com-
missioners of Musters, and their Assistants, will be furnished with such stationery as
they may require by the Quartermaster's Department, upon their requisitions, approved
by the Corps, Department, or Division Commander, as the case may be.
So soon as the Commissaries and Assistants are detailed, as herein directed, their
names will be reported to the Adjutant General of the Army.
III. — Each Assistant Commissary of Musters will make a daily report to the Commis-
sary of Musters for his Corps or Department of all the musters made by him since his
last report, forwarding with this report three copies of the muster-in and four of the
muster-out rolls, in every case, as vouchers to his report.
These rolls and reports will be corrected and consolidated by the Commissary of Mus-
ters, who will also add his own report of such musters as he may have made himself,
and forward it, with one copy of the muster-in and muster-out rolls, in each case, direct
to the Adjutant General, Washington, D. C. The Commissary of Musters will dispose
of the other copies of the rolls as prescribed in the pamphlet of instructions to Muster-
ing Officers.
IV. — Commanders of Corps or Departments will see that each Regiment, Independent
Company, etc., is assigned to some one of the Assistant Commissaries of Musters under
their command. The Commissaries of Musters will be responsible to the Adjutant
General of the Army for the correctness of the musters and muster rolls in their Corps,
and, no officer shall be mustered in, or out, except by a Commissary or Assistant Commissary
of Musters, to whom the command to which he belongs has been assigned. .
V. — No officer or enlisted man of volunteers is properly in the service of the United
States, or authorized to receive pay, until mustered in by the proper officer ; and no
officer is properly out of service until discharged in Orders, or mustered out by the proper
officer. One copy of the rolls cr order in each case must be foi warded to this office.
VI. — Commissaries and Assistant Commissaries of Musters, having been once detailed,
will not be relieved from this duty, or transferred to another Division, Department, or
Corps, without authority from the Adjutant General's Office.
VII. — Departments, Commanders of Corps, and Divisions, will exercise such super-
vision over the musters as they may think necessary for a prompt and efficient perform-
ance of this service.
VIII. — The following rules will be observed in all musters-in or out :
1st. An officer must present his commission, or appointment, from the Governor of
the State to which the regiment or organization, into which he desires to be mustered,
belongs.
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 51
2d. The Mustering Officer must ascertain from the records of the regiment, or organ-
ization, such as muster rolls, monthly returns, and morning reports, that a vacancy
exists.
3d. If an officer has been commissioned, as above, and a vacancy exists, and he is
physically fitted, for duty, he may be mustered into the service of the United States,
from the date in which the muster-in actually takes place.
4th. .No muster-in rolls shall be dated bach without authority from the Adjutant General,
except upon proof that it could not have been made at an earlier date, which proof
shall consist of the affidavit of the officer, accompanied by that of his Regimental or
Detachment Commander, setting forth that he has made all proper efforts to have him-
self mustered in, but without success, before the time at which he now presents himself.
These affidavits must be attached to the copy of the miister-in rolls intended for the
Adjutant General.
5th. No officer shall be mustered in to date back beyond the time that he has actually
been performing the duties of the grade into which he desires to be mustered, nor beyond the
time at which a vacancy is proved to have existed by the regimental or company
records. If on the muster and pay rolls the applicant appears mustered for pay in one
grade, he cannot be mustered into the service to cover the same period, as of any other.
Gross errors, on this point, are frequently committed by mustering officers, therefore,
special attention is invited to it.
6th. Musters into and out of the service must be made for each new grade of com-
missioned officers, as well as when enlisted men or citizens are appointed commissioned
officers. A discharge in Orders, or by order of the proper authority, is in all cases a
muster-out of the service of the United States, and no muster-out rolls will be furnished
in such cases.
7th. Musters-in and out must be made on separate rolls, and a separate roll must bo
made for each grade. Officers or enlisted? men of different companies or regiments, must
not be mustered in, or out, on the same rolls.
8th. Hereafter, no person will be taken up on any muster rolls as an officer, of any
grade, until mustered into the service of the United States as such, in that grade, whe-
ther he be commissioned by the Governor or not, unless he be appointed or commissioned
by the President. Paymasters will closely observe, and report, all violations of this Para-
graph.
9th. A muster once made will in no case be altered, except by authority from the
Adjutant General of the Army, and all applications for alterations must pass through the
mustering officer, if possible.
10th. Troops organizing in their respective States — including recruits for regiments
in the field — and those organized, and not in the field, wTill be mustered by the duly
appointed mustering officers for the States. Said officers hade no authority to muster
commissioned officers belonging to organizations which have left the State. (See paragraph.
4.) The mustering officers, for States, will closely observe the requirements of para-
graph 8.
11th. Enlisted men having received commissions or appointments, will not be mus-
tered in as commissioned officers until they shall have been discharged as soldiers by
the Department or Corps commander.
12. The directions contained in the pamphlet of Instructions to Mustering Officers,
will be followed in all cases.

<$ettCVHt (&X&£X$, \ War De^'t, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 49. ) Washington, February 28, 1863.
I. — The following rules in regard to paroles, established by the common law and
usages of war, are published for the information of all concerned :
1. Paroling must always take place by the exchange of signed duplicate of a written
document, in which the name and rank of the parties paroled are correctly stated. Any
one who intentionally misstates his rank, forfeits the benefit of his parole, and is liable
to punishment.
2. None but commissioned officers can give the parole for themselves or their com-
52 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
mands, and no inferior officer can give a parole without the authority of his superior, ii
within reach.
3. No paroling on the battle-field; no paroling of entire bodies of troops after a bat-
tle ; and no dismissal of large numbers of prisoners, with a general declaration that the/
are paroled, is permitted, or of any value.
4. An officer who gives a -parole for himself or his command on the battle-field, is
deemed a deserter, and will be punished accordingly.
5. For the officer, the pledging of his parole is an individual act, and no wholesale
paroling by an officer, for a number of inferiors in rank, is permitted or valid.
6. No non-commissioned officer or private can give his parole except through an
oflicer. Individual paroles not given through an officer are not only void, but subject
the individual giving them to the punishment of death as deserters. The only admis-
sible exception is where individuals, properly separated from their commands, have
suffered long confinement without the possibility of being paroled through an officer.
7. No prisoner of war can be forced by the hostile government to pledge his parole,
and any threat or ill-treatment to force the giving of the parole, is contrary to the law
of war.
8. No prisoner of war can enter into engagements inconsistent with his character and
duties as a citizen and a subject of his State. He can only bind himself not to bear
arms against his captor for a limited period, or until he is exchanged, and this only with
the stipulated or implied consent of his own government. If the engagement which he
makes is not approved by his government, he is bound to return and surrender
himself as a prisoner of Avar. His own government cannot at the same time disown his
engagement and refuse his return as a prisoner.
9. No one can pledge his parole that he will never bear arms against the government
of his captors, nor that he will not bear arms against any other enemy of his govern-
ment, not at the time the ally of his captors. Such agreements have reference only to
the existing enemy and his existing allies, and to the existing war, and not to future
belligerents.
10. While the pledging of the military parole is a voluntary act of the individual, the
capturing power is not obliged to grant it, nor is the government of the individual
paroled bound to approve or ratify it.
11. Paroles not authorized by the common law of war, are not valid till approved by
the government of the individual so pledging his parole.
12. The pledging of any unauthorized military parole is a military offence, punishable
under the common law of war.
II. — This order will be published at the head of every regiment in the service of the
United States, and will be officially communicated by every General commanding an
army in the field to the Commanding General of the opposing forces, and will be here-
after strictly observed and enforced in the armies of the United States.

Of the 1st Specification, "Guilty."

Volunteers, the following sentence : " That he be suspended from duty for the term of six
months ; that he forfeit all pay and allowances during that period ; and that he be re-

quate to the offences of which they are found guilty, and recommended their dismissal.

Respecting Soldiers absent without leave.
Executive Mansion,

In pursuance of the twenty-sixth section of the act of Congress, entitled " An act for
enrolling and calling out the National Forces, and for other purposes," approved on the
third day of March, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, I, Abraham
Lincoln, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,
do hereby order and command, that all soldiers enlisted or drafted in the service of the
United States, now absent from their regiments without leave, shall forthwith return to
their respective regiments.
And I do hereby declare and proclaim, that all soldiers now absent from their respect-
ive regiments without leave, who shall, on or before the 1st day of April, 1863, report
themselves at any rendezvous designated by the General orders of the War Department
Number fifty-eight, hereto annexed, may be restored to their respective regiments with-
out punishment, except the forfeiture of pay and allowances during their absence ; and
all who do not return within the time above specified shall be arrested as deserters, and
punished as the law provides.
And whereas evil-disposed and disloyal persons at sundry places have enticed and
procured soldiers to desert and absent themselves from their regiments,, thereby weaken-
ing the strength of the armies, and prolonging the war, giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, and cruelly exposing the gallant and faithful soldiers remaining in the ranks to
increased hardships and danger, I do therefore call upon all patriotic and faithful citi-

for other purposes" and to support the proper authorities in the prosecution and
punishment of offenders against said act, and in suppressing the insurrection and rebel-
lion.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.

same time removing his sword and offering a challenge to fight without weapons, and
laying his hands upon the shoulders of the said Lieutenant Colonel Vallee, saying, Lieu-

68 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
II. — The record of tlie proceedings in the foregoing case shows that, after the trial of
Lieutenant Walsh had proceeded several days, two new members were added to the
Court, one at least of whom sat upon the Court at different times during the trial. Be-
sides this irregularity, the record does not show that the new members were sworn.
The proceedings are thus vitiated, and are disapproved by the Major General Command-
ing the Army of the Potomac. But the testimony shows so clearly that Lieutenant
Walsh is unfit to hold a commission, that the proceedings have been forwarded for the
action of the President, with a recommendation that Lieutenant Walsh be dismissed the
service of the United States. The recommendation is approved, and First Lieutenant
John C. Walsh, Twenty -eighth New York Volunteers, ceases to be an officer in the
United States service.

Paragraph 10, of General Orders, No. 36, of 1862, which authorizes the chief medical
officer in each city " to employ as cooks, nurses and attendants any convalescent, wound-
ed, or feeble men, who can perform such duties, instead of giving them discharges," is
hereby modified as follows :
At every U. S. General Hospital, the feeble and wounded men, unfit for field duty, but
not entirely disabled, instead of being discharged, will be organized and mustered in
detachments, under the charge of the officers acting as Military Commanders, who will
assign men to them from time to time, on the reports of the surgeons in charge of hos-
pitals. From these Invalid Detachments the Military Commanders will make details for
provost, hospital, and other necessary guards; for clerks, hospital attendants, nurses,
cooks, and other " extra duty" men.
The Invalid Detachments will be mustered and reported as detachments, and will be
paid on the Detachment Rolls; but no extra pay will be allowed in any case.
The Detachment Rolls must show to what company and Regiment each man properly
belongs, and all assignments to them must be promptly reported to their company com-
manders. They are not to be dropped from the rolls of those companies, but will be re-
ported on detached service from them.
Should any of the men become fit for duty with their regiments, they will be immedi-
ately sent to join them.
In case of a want of non-commissioned officers to give efficiency to the Invalid Detach-
ments, lance appointments may be made, but without increase of pay.

With profound regret the General-in-Chief announces the decease of Major General
E. V. Sumner, U. S. Army, at Syracuse, N. Y., on the 21st instant.
General Sumner entered the Army in March, 1819, and it was his fortune to be con-
nected with all the stirring military events which occurred throughout the long period
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 69
of his service. His indomitable energy and high-toned military spirit impelled him al-
ways to seek assignment to duty in the field.
He was twice brevetted for gallant and meritorious conduct in the Mexican battles.
Subsequently he commanded the Department of New Mexico, and directed important
campaigns against the restless tribes within its limits. At _ the commencement of the
Rebellion, being then a Colonel of Cavalry, he was appointed Brigadier General in
the Army, and was then ordered to command on the Pacific coast. His last urgent en-
treaty before departing to that distant station, was that he might be promptly recalled
to take part in any conflicts which might occur with the rebels in the neighborhood of
the Capital. His ardent patriotism and martial fire would not permit him to rest until
he was recalled and assigned to a high command in the Army of the Potomac. The
name of Sumner is identified with nearly every fierce struggle in which that Army has
been engaged, and every page of its history will perpetuate the fame of this noble sol-
dier. His gallantry was acknowledged first by the commission of Major General of Vol-
unteers, and then by the brevet of Major General on his army commission.
Having been relieved from duty with the Army of the Potomac, at his own request,
after the battle of Fredericksburg, he was assigned to command the Department of the
Missouri. While on the way to St. Louis, to enter upon this important command, he,
who had escaped the dangers of so many battles, fell suddenly a victim to disease. The
regrets of the whole Army go with him. lie will be lamented and remembered, not for
his soldierly traits alone, but for his generous and courteous bearing, the offspring of a
true and noble nature.
As appropriate military honors to the memory of the deceased General, the several
posts within the Department of the Missouri will fire thirteen minute guns, commenc-„
ing at twelve o'clock m., and display the National flag at half staff from the same hour
until sunset, the day next after the receipt of this order.

determine the facts of the law in such action, in the same manner as if the same had been
there originally commenced, the judgment in such case notwithstanding. And any bail
which may have been taken, or property attached, shall be holden on the final judgment
of the said circuit court in such action, in the same manner as if no such removal and
transfer had been made, as aforesaid. And the State court, from which any such action,

No. 89. ) Washington, April 6, 1863.
I. — The case of 1st Lieutenant J. M. Garland, 42d New York Volunteers, having been
submitted to the Judge Advocate General, the following facts appear from his report,
viz :
" On the 27th of February last a letter was addressed to the Reverend Elliott H.
Thompson, Shanghai, China, and deposited in the post office of this city. The stamps
upon it, however, amounted to but thirty-six of the ninety cents required to be prepaid,
and it was, in consequence, returned to the General Post Office, to be there examined
under the regulations, with a view to its restoration to the writer. On opening it, it was
found to be from Lieutenant J. M. Garland, of United States Volunteers, and to disclose
on his part a state of feeling towards the Administration, and towards the rebels making
war upon the Government, which seems to be in complete conflict with the duties im-
j)osed upon him by the sword he wears.
" After some discussion of political topics, and comments upon current events, Lieu-
tenant Garland says that 'the Administration have at last shown their hands, and that
their principles and their hearts are blacker than the "'nigger" they are fighting for;' and
he pronounces the President's proclamation l as unconstitutional as it is unjust.' He ex-
jjlains to his friend that, while entertaining these sentiments, he does not resign, though
anxious to do so, because, ' to tender his resignation now would be to ask his disgrace,'
and for the further reason that recently, at his own request, he had been transferred from
the Quartermaster's Department to the Ambulance Corps, which he alleges will prevent
him ' from coming into actual contact with the South,' and will enable him, during an
action, i to render the same assistance to the other side as well as his own men.' He adds :
4At Antietam I had the pleasure of bringing from the field a large number of Confederates,
among them some of our old friends, all of whom I saw well cared for, and some of. whom
I have heard from since their return.' He further states that when he saw Fredericks-
burg bombarded, ' tears ran down his cheeks, and he cried like a child.' He appears to
have found only sorrow in the service, except where enjoying the ' pleasure' of minister-
ing to the comfort of those who had been wrounded while stabbing at the life of the
country whose commission he held.
" It is difficult to conceive of a position of deeper dishonor than that in which this
officer has placed himself by the treacherous concealment of his sentiments from the go-
vernment whose confidence he was enjoying, and upon whose treasury he was living.
Although not seeming to realize this self-inflicted degradation himself, he appears to be
conscious that it would be realized by others, were his real opinions and feelings to be-
come known. Hence he says : ' Were it known that these were my sentiments, i would
not only be summarily dismissed the service, but probably boarded, at the expense of
Uncle Sam, in Fort Lafayette, or some other sea-side prison, for the benefit of my health,
until the war is over.' "
It is entirely certain that no public interest can be safe in the' hands of an officer so

hostile to the Administration charged with the conduct of the war, and so profoundly
sympathizing with the rebels, as Lieutenant Garland has confessed himself to be.
Although up to this time, so far as known, his sympathy has manifested itself only
in weeping when one of the enemy's strongholds was bombarded, and in rejoicing when
ministering to the wants of wounded rebels, no guaranty exists that at some critical con-
juncture in our military movements, this sympathy would not take a more active and
manly, and, for the government, a far more fatal form of development.
^ 1st Lieutenant J. M. Garland, of the 42d New York Volunteers, is therefore, by direc-
tion of the President, dishonorably dismissed the service of the United States.

I. — From a review of the proceedings of a General Court Martial before which Cap-
tain William Frinkler, Assistant Quartermaster, U. S. Volunteers, was tried — which pro-
ceedings were published in General Orders, No. 36, of March 1, 1863, from Headquar-
ters, Thirteenth Army Corps — it appears that there is no record to show that either the
members of the Court or the Judge Advocate were sworn in presence of the accused.
These and other irregularities in the proceedings render the sentence null and void.
Captain Frinkler will therefore be released from arrest and restored to duty.
II. — In the case of 1st Lieutenant William H. Eaton, 2d District of Columbia Volun-

ings of which were published in General Orders, No. 10, Headquarters, Military Dis-
trict of Washington, dated March 24, 1863, the action of the reviewing officer in
remitting the sentence is not in accordance with the 89th Article of War, under which
the execution of the sentence should have been suspended until the pleasure of the
President of the United States could be known. The record, however, is defective in
not showing the Court and Judge Advocate were sworn in the presence of the accused,
and the sentence cannot be enforced.

By Order of the Secretary of War:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN
THE FIELD.
Martial law — Military jurisdiction — Military necessity — Retaliation.
1. A place, district, or country occupied by an enemy stands, in consequence of the
occupation, under the Martial Law of the invading or occupying army, whether any
proclamation declaring Martial Law, or any public warning to the inhabitants, has been
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 105
issued or not. Martial Law is the immediate and direct effect and consequence* of oc-
cupation or conquest.
The presence of a hostile army proclaims its Martial Law.
2. Martial Law does not cease during the hostile occupation, except by special procla-
mation, ordered by the commander-in-chief; or by special mention in the treaty of pe;ice
concluding the war, when the occupation of a place or territory continues beyond the
conclusion of peace as one of the conditions of the same.
3. Martial Law in a hostile country consists in the suspension, by the occupying mili-
tary authority, of the criminal and civil law, and of the domestic administration* and
government in the occupied place or territory, and in the substitution of military rule
and force for the same, as well as in the dictation of general laws, as far as military ne-
cessity requites this suspension, substitution, or dictation.
The commander of the forces may proclaim that the administration of all civil and
penal laws shall continue, either wholly or in part, as in times of peace, unless otherwise
ordered by the military authority. •
4. Martial Law is simply military authority exercised in accordance with the laws and
usages of war. Military oppression is not Martial Law ; it is the abuse of the power
which that law confers. As Maitial Law is executed by military force, it is incumbent
upon those who administer it to be strictly guided by the principles of justice, honor,
and humanity — virtues adorning a soldier even more than other men, for the very reason
that he possesses the power of his arms against the unarmed.
5. Martial Law should be less stringent in places and countries fully occupied and
fairly conquered. Much greater severity may be exercised in places or regions where ac-
tual hostilities exist, or are expected and must be prepared for. Its most complete sway
is allowed — even in the commander's own country — when face to face with the enemy,
because of the absolute necessities of the case, and of the paramount duty to defend the
country against invasion.
To save the country is paramount to all other considerations.
6. All civil and penal law shall continue to take its usual course in the enemy's
places and territories under Martial Law, unless interrupted or stopped by order of the
occupying military power; but all the functions of the hostile government — legislative,
executive, or administrative — whether of a general, provincial, or local character, cease
under Martial Law, or continue only with the sanction, or if deemed necessary, the par-
ticipation of the occupier or invader.
7. Martial Law extends to property, and to persons, whether they are subjects of the
enemy or aliens to that government.
8. Consuls among American and European nations, are not diplomatic agents. Never-
theless, their offices and persons will be subject to Martial Law in cases of urgent ne-
cessity only : their property and business are not exempted. Any delinquency they
commit against the established military rule may be punished as in the case of any
Dther inhabitant, and such punishment furnishes no reasonable ground for international
complaint.
9. The functions of Ambassadors, Ministers, or other diplomatic agents, accredited by
neutral powers to the hostile government, cease, so far as regards the displaced govern-
ment; but the conquering or occupying power usually recognizes them as temporarily
accredited to itself.
10. Martial Law affects chiefly the police and collection of public revenue and taxes,
whether imposed by the expelled government or by the invader, and refers mainly to
the support and efficiency of the army, its safety, and the safety of its operations.
11. The law of war does not only disclaim all cruelty and bad faith concerning
engagements concluded with the enemy during the war, but also the breaking of stipu-
lations solemnly contracted by the belligerents in time of peace, and avowedly intended
to remain in force in case of war between the contracting powers.
It disclaims all extortions and other transactions for individual gain ; all acts of pri-
vate revenge, or connivance at such acts.
Offences to the contrary shall be severely punished, and especially so if committed by
officers.
12. Whenever feasible, Martial Law is carried out in cases of individual offenders by
Military Courts ; but sentences of death shall be executed only with the approval of the
chief executive, provided the urgency of the case does not require a speedier execution,
and then only with the approval of the chief commander.
13. Military jurisdiction is of two kinds: first, that which is conferred and defined by
106 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
statute'; second, that which is derived from the common law of war. Military offences
under the statute law must be tried in the manner therein directed ; but military offences
which do not come within the statute must be tried and punished under the common
law of war. The character of the courts which exercise these jurisdictions depends
upon the local laws of each particular country.
In the armies of the United States the first is exercised by courts-martial ; while cases
which do not come within the ''Rules and Articles of War," or the jurisdiction con-
ferred by statute on courts-martial, are tried by military commissions.
14.' Military necessity, as understood by modern civilized nations, consists in the
necessity of those measures which are indispensable for securing the ends of war, and
which are lawful according to the modern law and usages of war.
15. Military necessity admits of all direct destruction of life or limb of armed enemies,
and of other persons whose destruction is incidentally unavoidable in the armed contests
of the war; it allows of the capturing of every armed enemy, and every enemy of impor-
tance to the hostile government, or of peculiar danger to the captor; it allows of all de-
struction of property, and obstruction of the ways and channels of traffic, travel, or com-
munication, and of all withholding of sustenance or means of life from the enemy ; of the
appropriation of whatever an enemy's country affords necessary for the subsistence and
safety of the army, and of such deception as does not involve the breaking of good faitfi
either positively pledged, regarding agreements entered into during the war, or sup-
posed by the modern law of war to exist. Men who take up arms against one another
in public war do not cease on this account to be moral beings, responsible to one an-
other, and to God.
1G. Military necessity does not admit of cruelty, that is, the infliction of suffering for
the sake of suffering or for revenge, nor of maiming or wounding except in fight, nor of
torture to extort confessions. It does not admit of the use of 23oison in any way, nor of
tbj3 wanton devastation of a district. It admits of deception, but disclaims acts of per-
fiay ; and, in general, military necessity does not include any act of hostility which
makes the return to peace unnecessarily difficult.
17. War is not carried on by arms alone. It is lawful to starve the hostile belligerent,
armed or unarmed, so that it leads to the speedier subjection of the enemy.
18. When the Commander of a besieged place expels the non-combatants, in order to
lessen the number of those who consume his stock of provisions, it is lawful, though an
extreme measure, to drive them back, so as to hasten on the surrender.
19. Commanders, whenever admissible, inform the enemy of their intention to bom-
bard a place, so that the non-combatants, and especially the women and children, may
be removed before the bombardment commences. But it is no infraction of the com-
mon law of war to omit thus to inform the enemy. Surprise may be a necessity.
20. Public war is a state of armed hostility between sovereign nations or governments.
It is a law and requisite of civilized existence that men live in political, continuous
societies, forming organized units, called states or nations, whose constituents bear,
enjoy, and suffer, advance and retrograde together, in peace and in war.
21. The citizen or native of a hostile country is thus an enemy, as one of the con-
stituents of the hostile state or nation, and as such is subjected to the hardships of the
war.
22. Nevertheless, as civilization has advanced during the last centuries, so has like-
wise steadily advanced, especially in war on land, the distinction between the private
individual belonging to a hostile country and the hostile country itself, with its men in
arms. The principle has been more and more acknowledged that the unarmed citizen
is to be spared in person, property, and honor as much as the exigencies of war will
admit.
23. Private citizens are no longer murdered, enslaved, or carried off to distant parts,
and the inoffensive individual is as little disturbed in his private relations as the com-
mander of the hostile troops can afford to grant iii the overruling demands of a vigor-
ous war.
24. The almost universal rule in remote times was, and continues to be with bar-
barous armies, that the private individual of the hostile country is destined to suffer
every privation of liberty and protection, and every disruption of family ties. Protec-
tion was, and still is with uncivilized people, the exception.
25. In modern regular wars of the Europeans, and their descendants in other portions
of the globe, protection of the inoffensive citizen of the hostile country is the rule ;
privation and disturbance of private relations are the exceptions.
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 107
26. Commanding generals may cause the magistrates and civil officers of the hostile
country to take the oath of temporary allegiance or an oath of fidelity to their own vic-
torious government or rulers, and they may expel every one who declines to do so.
But whether they do so or not, the people and their civil officers owe strict obedience
;o them as long as they hold sway over the district or country, at the peril of their
ives.
27. The law of war can no more wholly dispense with retaliation than can the law of
lations, of which it is a branch. Yet civilized nations acknowledge retaliation as the
sternest feature of war. A reckless enemy often leaves to his opponent no other means
)f securing himself against the repetition of barbarous outrage.
28. Retaliation will, therefore, never be resorted to as a measure of mere revenge, but
)nly as a means of protective retribution, and, moreover, cautiously and unavoidably ;
,hat is to say, retaliation shall only be resorted to after careful inquiry into the real
)ccurrence, and the character of the misdeeds that may demand retribution.
Unjust or inconsiderate retaliation removes the belligerents farther and farther from
;he mitigating rules of a regular war, and by rapid steps leads them to the internecine
vars of savages.
29. Modern times are distinguished from earlier ages by the existence, at one and the
lame time, of many nations and great governments related to one another in close inter-
course.
Peace is their normal condition ; war is the exception. The ultimate object of all
nodern war is a renewed state of peace.
The more vigorously wars are pursued, the better it is for humanity. Sharp wars are
)rief.
30. Ever since the formation and coexistence of modern nations, and ever since wars
lave become great national wars, war has come to be acknowledged not to be its own
;nd, but the means to obtain great ends of state, or to consist in defence against wrong;
md no conventional restriction of the modes adopted to injure the enemy is any longer
idmitted ; but the law of war imposes many limitations and restrictions on principles
)f justice, faith, and honor.
SECTION II.
Public and private property of the enemy — Protection of persons, and especially women ; of
religion, the arts and sciences — Punishment of crimes against the inhabitants of hostile
countries.
31. A victorious army appropriates all public money, seizes all public movable pro-
>erty until further direction by its government, and sequesters for its own benefit or
hat of its government all the revenues of real property belonging to the hostile govern-
nent or nation. The title to such real property remains in abeyance during military
>ccupation, and until the contest is made complete.
32. A victorious army, by the martial power inherent in the same, may suspend,
ihange, or abolish, as far as the martial power extends, the relations which arise from
he services due, according to the existing laws of the invaded country, from one citizen,
nibject, or native of the same to another.
The commander of the army must leave it to the ultimate treaty of peace to settle the
)ermanency of this change.
33. It is no longer considered lawful — on the contrary, it is held to be a serious
breach of the law of war — to force the subjects of the enemy into the service of the vic-
arious government, except the latter should proclaim, after a fair and complete conquest
)f the hostile country or district, that it is resolved to keep the country, district, or
3lace permanently as its own and make it a portion of its own country.
34. As a general rule, the property belonging to churches, to hospitals, or other
jstablishments of an exclusively charitable character, to establishments of education, or
foundations for the promotion of knowledge, whether public schools, universities,
icademies of learning or observatories, museums of the fine arts, or of a scientific char-
icter — such property is not to be considered public property in the sense of paragraph
51 ; but it may be taxed or used when the public service may require it.
35. Classical works of art, libraries, scientific collections, or precious instruments,
such as astronomical telescopes, as well as hospitals, must be secured against all avoidable
injury, even when they are contained in fortified places whilst besieged or bombarded.
36. If such works of art, libraries, collections, or instruments belonging to a hostile
aation or government, can be removed without injury, the ruler of the conquering state
108 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
or nation may order them to be seized and removed for the benefit of the said nation.
The ultimate ownership is to be settled by the ensuing treaty of peace.
In no case shall they be sold or given away, if captured by the armies of the United
Stales, nor shall they ever be privately appropriated, or wantonly destroyed or injured.
37. The United States acknowledge and protect, in hostile countries occupied by them,
religion and morality; strictly private property ; the persons of the inhabitants, espe-
cially those of women; and the sacredness of domestic relations. Offences to the con-
trary shall be rigorously punished.
This rule does not interfere with the right of the victorious invader to tax the people
or their property, to levy forced loans, to billet soldiers, or to appropriate property,
especially houses, land, boats or ships, and churches, for temporary and military uses.
38. Private property, unless forfeited by crimes or by offences of the owner, can be
seized only by way of military necessity, for the support or other benefit of the army or
of the United States.
If the owner has not fled, the commanding officer will cause receipts to be given,
which may serve the spoliated owner to obtain indemnity.
39. The salaries of civil officers of the hostile government who remain in the invaded
territory, and continue the work of their office, and can continue it according to the
circumstances arising out of the war — such as judges, administrative or police officers,
officers of city or communal governments — are paid from the public revenue of the
invaded territory, until the military government has reason wholly or partially to dis-
continue it. Salaries or incomes connected with purely honorary titles are always
stopped.
40. There exists no law or body of authoritative rules of action between hostile armies,
except that branch of the law of nature and nations which is called the law and usages
of war on land.
41. All municipal law of the ground on which the armies stand, or of the countries to
which they belong, is silent and of no effect between armies in the field.
42. Slavery, complicating and confounding the ideas of property, (that is of a thing,)
and of personalty, (that is of humanity,) exists according to municipal or local law only.
The law of nature and nations has never acknowledged it. The digest of the Roman
law enacts the early dictum of the pagan jurist, that "so far as the law of nature is
concerned, all men are equal." Fugitives escaping from a country in which they were
shives, villains, or serfs, into another country, have, for centuries past, been held free
and acknowledged free by judicial decisions of European countries, even though the
municipal law of the country in which the slave had taken refuge acknowledged slavery
within its own dominions.
43. Therefore, in a war between the United States and a belligerent which admits of
slavery, if a person held in bondage by that belligerent be captured by or comes as a
fugiiive under the protection of the military forces of the United States, such person is
immediately entitled to the rights and privileges of a freeman. To return such person
into slavery, would amount to enslaving a free person, and neither the United States nor
any officer under their authority can enslave any human being. Moreover a person so
made free by the law of war is under the shield of the law of nations, and the former
owner or State can have, by the law of post-liminy, no belligerent lienor claim of service.
44. All wanton violence committed against persons in the invaded country, all de-
struction of property not commanded by the authorized officer, all robbery, all pillago
or sacking even after taking a place by main force, all rape, wounding, maiming or kil-
ling of such inhabitants, are prohibited under the penalty of death, or such other severe
punishment as may seem adequate for the gravity of the offence.
A soldier, officer or private, in the act of committing such violence, and disobeying a
superior, ordering him to abstain from it, may be lawfully killed on the spot by such su-
perior.
45. All captures and booty belong, according to the modern law of war, primarily to
the government of the captor.
Prize money, whether on sea or land, can now only be claimed under local law.
46. Neither officers nor soldiers are allowed to make use of their position or power in
the hostile country for private gain, not even for commercial transactions otherwise le-
gitimate. Offences to the contrary committed by commissioned officers, will be pun-
ished with cashiering or such other punishment as the nature of the offence may require;
if by soldiers, they shall be punished according to the nature of the offence.
GENERAL ORDERS, 18G3. 109
47. Crimes punishable by all penal codes, such as arson, murder, maiming, assaults,
lighway robbery, theft, burglary, fraud, forgery, and rape, if committed by an American
;oldier in a hostile country against its inhabitants, are not only punishable as at home,
)ut in all cases in which death is not inflicted, the severer inmishmcnt shall be pre-
erred.
SECTION II r.
Deserters — prisoners of War — Hostages — Booty on the battle-field.
48. Deserters from the American army, having entered the service of the enemy, suffer
leath if they fall again into the hands of the United States, whether by capture, or be-
ng delivered up to the American army; and if a deserter from the enemy, having taken
ervice in the army of the United States, is captured by the enemy, and punished by
hem with death or otherwise, it is not a breach against the law or usages of war, re-
hiring redress or retaliation.
49. A prisoner of war is a public enemy armed or attached to the hostile army for
,ctive aid, who has fallen into the hands of the captor, either fighting or wounded, on
he field or in the hospital, either by individual surrender, or by capitulation.
All soldiers of whatever species of arms; all men who belong to the rising en masse of
he hostile country ; all those who are attached to the army for its efficiency and promote
tirectly the object of the war, except such as are hereinafter provided for ; all disabled
aen or officers on the field or elsewhere, if captured"; all enemies who have thrown away
heir arms and ask for quarter, are prisoners of war, and as such exposed to the incon-
eniences as well as entitled to the privileges of a prisoner of war.
50. Moreover, citizens who accompany an army for what ever purpose, such as sutlers,
ditors or reporters of journals, or contractors, if captured, may be made prisoners of
rar, and detained as such.
The monarch and members of the hostile reigning family, male or female, the chief
nd chief officers of the hostile government, its diplomatic agents, and. all persons who
re of particular and singular use and benefit to the hostile army or its government, are,
I captured on belligerent ground, and if unprovided with a safe conduct, granted by
lie captor's government, prisoners of war.
51. If the people of that portion of an invaded country whic.h is not yet occupied by
lie enemy, or of the whole country, at the approach of a hostile army, rise, under a du-
j authorized levy, en masse to resist the invader, they are now treated as public enemies,
nd if captured, are prisoners of war.
52. No belligerent has a right to declare that he will treat every captured man in arms
f a levy en masse as a brigand or bandit.
If, however, the people of a country, or any portion of the same, already occupied by
n army, rise against it, they are violators of the laws of war, and are not entitled to
aeir protection.
53. The enemy's chaplains, officers of the medical staff, apothecaries, hospital nurses,
nd servants, if they fall into the hands of the American army, are not prisoners of war,
nless the commander has reasons to retain them. In this latter case, or if, at their own
esire, they are allowed to remain with their captured companions, they are treated as
risoners of war, and may be exchanged, if the commander sees fit.
54. A hostage is a person accepted as a pledge for the fulfillment of an agreement con-
luded between belligerents during the war, or in consequence of a war. Hostages are
ire in the present age.
55. If a hostage is accepted, he is treated like a prisoner of wTar, according to rank
nd condition, as circumstances may admit.
56. A prisoner of Avar is subject to no punishment for being a public enemy, nor is
ny revenge wreaked upon him by the intentional infliction of any suffering or dis-
race, by cruel imprisonment, want of food, by mutilation, death or any other barbarity.
57. So soon as a man is armed by a sovereign government, and takes the soldier's oath
f fidelity, he is a belligerent ; his killing, wounding, or other warlike acts, are no indi-
idual crimes or offences. No belligerent has a right to declare that enemies of a certain
lass, color or condition, when properly organized as soldiers, will not be treated by him
s public enemies.
58. The law of nations knows of no distinction of color, and if an enemy of the
Inited States should enslave and sell any captured persons of their army, it wTould be a
ase for the severest retaliation, if not redressed upon complaint.
The United States cannot retaliate by enslavement ; therefore death must be the re-
iliation for this crime against the law of nations.
110 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
59. A prisoner of war remains answerable for his crimes committed against the cap-
tor's army or people, committed before he was captured, and for which he has not been
punished by his own authorities.
All prisoners of war are liable to the infliction of retaliatory measures.
GO. It is against the usage of modern war to resolve, in hatred and revenge, to give
no quarter. No body of troops has the right to declare that it will not give, and there-
fore will not expect, quarter; but a commander is permitted to cferect his troops to give
no quarter, in great straits, when his own salvation makes it impossible to cumber him-
self with prisoners.
61. Troops that give no quarter have no right to kill enemies already disabled on the
ground, or prisoners captured by other troops.
62. All troops of the enemy known or discovered to give no quarter in general, or to
any portion of the army, receive none.
63. Troops who fight in the uniform of their enemies, without any plain, striking and
uniform mark of distinction of their own, can expect no quarter.
64. If American troops capture a train containing uniforms of the enemy, and the
commander considers it advisable to distribute them for use among his men, some strik-
ing mark or sign must be adopted to distinguish the American soldier from the enemy.
65. The use of the enemy's national standard, flag or other emblem of nationality, for
the purpose of deceiving the enemy in battle, is an act of perfidy by which they lose all
claim to the protection of the laws of war.
66. Quarter having been given to an enemy by American troops, under a misappre-
hension of his true character, he may, nevertheless, be ordered to suffer death if, within
three days after the battle, it be discovered that he belongs to a corps which gives no
quarter.
67. The law of nations allows every sovereign government to make war upon another
sovereign state, and, therefore, admits of no rules or laws different from those of regular
warfare, regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, although they may belong to the
army of a government which the captor may consider as a wanton and unjust assailant.
68. Modern wars are not internecine wars in which the killing of the enemy is the
object. The destruction of the enemy in modern war, and, indeed, modern war itself,
are means to obtain that object of the belligerent wdrich lies beyond the war.
Unnecessary or revengeful destruction of life is not lawful.
69. Outposts, sentinels, or pickets are not to be fired upon, except to drive them in,
or when a positive order, special or general, has been issued to that effect.
70. The use of poison in any manner, be it to poison wells, or food, or arms, is wholly
excluded from modern warfare. He that uses it puts himself out of the pale of the law
and usages of war.
71. Whoever intentionally inflicts additional wounds on an enemy already wdiolly
disabled, or kills such an enemy, or who orders or encourages soldiers to do so, shall
suffer death, if duly convicted, whether he belongs to the army of the United States, or
is an enemy captured after having committed his misdeed.
72. Money and other valuables on the person of a prisoner, such as watches or jewelry,
as well as extra clothing, are regarded by the American army as the private property of
the prisoner, and the appropriation of such valuables or money is considered dishonor-
able, and is prohibited.
Nevertheless, if large sums are found upon the persons of prisoners, or in their pos-
session, they shall be taken from them, and the surplus, after providing for their own
support, appropriated for the use of the army, under the direction of the commander,
unless otherwise ordered by the government. Nor can prisoners claim,' as private pro-
perty, large sums found and captured in their train, although they had been placed in
the private luggage of the prisoners.
73. All officers, when captured, must surrender their side-arms to the captor. They
may be restored to the prisoner in marked cases, by the commander, to signalize admi-
ration of his distinguished bravery, or approbation of his humane treatment of prisoners
before his capture. The captured officer to whom they may be restored cannot wear
them during captivity.
74. A prisoner of war, being a public enemy, is the prisoner of the government, and
not of the captor. No ransom can be paid by a prisoner of war to his individual captor,
or to any officer in command. The government alone releases captives, according to
rules prescribed by itself.
75. Prisoners of war are subject to confinement or imprisonment such as may be
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. Ill
deemed necessary on account of safety, but they are to be subjected to no other inten-
tional suffering or indignity. The confinement and mode of treating a prisoner may be
raried during his captivity according to the demands of safety.
76. Prisoners, of war shall be fed upon plain and wholesome food, whenever practic-
ible, and treated with humanity.
They may be required to work for the benefit of the captor's government, according
;o their rank and condition.
77. A prisoner of war who escapes may be shot, or otherwise killed in his flight ; but
leithcr death nor any other punishment shall be inflicted upon him simply for his at-
;empt to escape, which the law of war does not consider a crime. Stricter means of
lecurity shall be used after an unsuccessful attempt at escape.
If, however, a conspiracy is discovered, the purpose of which is a united or general
iscape, the conspirators may be rigorously punished, even with death ; and capital pun-
shment may also be inflicted upon prisoners of war discovered to have plotted rebellion
igainst the authorities of the captors,. whether in union with fellow-prisoners or other
persons.
78. If prisoners of war, having given no pledge nor made any promise on their honor,
brcibly or otherwise escape, and are captured again in battle, after having rejoined their
iwn army, they shall.not be punished for their escape, but shall be treated as simple
>risoners of war, although they will be subjected to stricter confinement.
79. Every captured wounded enemy shall be medically treated, according to the
tbility of the medical staff.
80. Honorable men, when captured, will abstain from giving to the enemy informa-
ion concerning their own army, and the modern law of war permits no longer the use
if any violence against prisoners, in order to extort the desired information, or to punish
hem for having given false information.
SECTION IV.
^artisans — Armed enemies not belonging to the hostile army — Scouts — Armed prowlers —
War-rebels.
81. Partisans are soldiers armed and wearing the uniform of their army, but belong-
ng to a cori^s which acts detached from the main body for the purpose of making in-
oads into the territory occupied by the enemy. If captured, they are entitled to all
he privileges of the prisoner of war.
82. Men, or squads of men, who commit hostilities, whether by fighting, or inroads
or destruction or plunder, or by raids of any kind, without commission, without
•eing part and portion of the organized hostile army, and without sharing continuously
i the war, but who do so with intermitting returns to their homes and avocations,
r with the occasional assumption of the semblance of peaceful pursuits, divesting
hemselves of the character or ajjpearance of soldiers — such men, or squads of men, are
ot public enemies, and therefore, if captured, are not entitled to the privileges of pri-
oners of war, but shall be treated summarily as highway robbers or pirates.
83. Scouts or single soldiers, if disguised in the dress of the country, or in the uni-
M*m of the army hostile to their own, employed in obtaining information, if found
within or lurking about the lines of the captor, are treated as spies, and suffer death.
84. Armed prowlers, by whatever names they may be called, or persons of the enemy's
srritory, who steal within the lines of the hostile army, for the purpose of robbing kill-
ig, or of destroying bridges, roads, or canals, or of robbing or destroying the mail, or
f cutting the telegraph wires, are not entitled to the privileges of the prisoner of war.
85. War-rebels are persons within an occupied territory who rise in arms against the
ccupying or conquering army, or against the authorities established by the same. If
aptured, they may suffer death, whether they rise singly, in small or large bands, and
whether called upon to do so by their own, but expelled, government or not. They are
ot prisoners of war ; nor are they, if discovered and secured before their conspiracy has
latured to an actual rising, or to armed violence.
SECTION V.
Safe-conduct — Spies — War-traitors — Captured Messengers— Abuse of the flag of truce.
86. All intercourse between the territories occupied by belligerent armies, whether by
raffic, by letter, by travel, or in any other way, ceases. This is the general rule, to be
bserved without special proclamation.
112 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
Exceptions to this rule, whether by safe-conduct, or permission to trade on a small or
large scale, or by exchanging mails, or by travel from one territory into the other, can
take place only according to agreement approved by the government, or by the highest
military authority.
Contraventions of this rule are highly punishable.
87. Ambassadors, and all other diplomatic agents of neutral powers, accredited to the
enemy, may receive safe conducts through the territories occupied by the belligerents,
unless there are military reasons to the contrary, and unless they may reach the place of
their destination conveniently by another route. It implies no international affront if
the safe conduct is declined. Such passes arc usually given by the supreme authority
of the State, and not by subordinate officers.
88. A spy is a person who secretly, in disguise or under false pretence, seeks informa-
tion with the intention of communicating it to the enemy.
The spy is punishable with death by hanging by the neck, whether or not he succeed
in obtaining the information or in conveying it tQ the enemy.
89. If a citizen of the United States obtains information in a legitimate manner, and
betrays it to the enemy, be he a military or civil officer, or a private citizen, he shall
suffer death.
90. A. traitor under the law of war, or a war-traitor, is a personjn a place or district
under martial law who, unauthorized by the military commander, gives information of
any kind to the enemy, or holds intercourse with him.
91. The war-traitor is always severely punished. If his offence consists in betraying
to the enemy anything concerning the condition, safety, operations or plans of the troops
holding or occupying the place or district, his punishment is death.
92. If the citizen or subject of a country or place invaded or conquered gives informa-
tion to his own government, from which he is separated by the hostile army, or to the
army of his government, he is a war-traitor, and death is the penalty of his offence.
93. All armies in the field stand in need of guides, and impress them if they cannot
obtain them otherwise.
94. No person having been forced by the enemy to serve as guide is punishable for
having done so.
95. If a citizen of a hostile and invaded district voluntarily serves as a guide to the
enemy, or offers to do so, he is deemed a war-traitor, and shall suffer death.
96. A citizen serving voluntarily as a guide against his own country commits treason,
and will be dealt with according to the law of his country.
97. Guides, when it is clearly proved that they have misled intentionally, may be put
to death.
98. All unathorized or secret communication with the enemy is considered treason-
able by the law of war.
Foreign residents in an invaded or occupied territory, or foreign visitors in the same,
can claim no immunity from this law. They may communicate with foreign parts, or
with the inhabitants of the hostile country, so far as the military authority permits, but
no further. Instant expulsion from the occupied territory would be the very least pun-
ishment for the infraction of this rule.
9!). A messenger carrying written despatches or verbal messages from one portion of
the army, or from a besieged place, to another portion of the same army, or its govern-
ment, if armed, and in the uniform of his army, and if captured while doing so, in the
territory occupied by the enemy, is treated by the captor as a prisoner of war. If not
in uniform, nor a soldier, the circumstances connected with his capture must determine
the disposition that shall be made of him.
100. A messenger or agent who attempts to steal through the territory occupied by
the enemy, to further, in any manner, the interests of the enemy, if captured, is not en-
titled to the privileges of the prisoner of war, and may be dealt with according to the
circumstances of the case.
101. While deception in war is admitted as a just and necessary means of hostility,
and is consistent with honorable warfare, the common law of war allows even capital
punishment for clandestine or treacherous attempts to injure an enemy, because they
are so dangerous, and it is so difficult to guard against them.
102. The law of war, like the criminal law regarding other offences, makes no differ-
ence on account of the difference of sexes, concerning the spy, the war-traitor, or the
war-rebel.
103. Spies, wTar-traitors, and war-rebels are not exchanged according to the common
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 113
law of war. The exchange of such persons would require a special cartel, authorized by
the government, or, at a great distance from it, by the chief commander of the army in
the field.
104. A successful spy or war-traitor, safely returned to his own army, and afterwards
captured as an enemy, is not subject to punishment for his acts as a spy or war-traitor,
but he may be held in closer custody as a person individually dangerous.
SECTION VI.
Exchange of prisoners — Flags of truce — Flags of protection.
105. Exchange of prisoners take place — number for number — rank for rank — wounded
for wounded — with added condition for added condition — such, for instance, as not to
serve for a certain period.
106. In exchanging prisoners of war, such numbers of persons of inferior rank may
be substituted as an equivalent for one of superior rank as may be agreed upon by car-
tel, which requires the sanction of the government, or of the commander of the army in
the field.
107. A prisoner of war is in honor bound truly to state to the captor his rank : and
he is not to assume a lower rank than belongs to him, in order to cause a more advantage-
ous exchange ; nor a higher rank for the purpose of obtaining better treatment.
Offences to the contrary have been justly punished by the commanders of released
prisoners, and may be good cause for refusing to release such prisoners.
108. The surplus number of prisoners of war remaining after an exchange has taken
place is sometimes released either for the payment of a stipulated sum of money, or, in
urgent cases, of provision, clothing, or other necessaries.
Such arrangement, however, requires the sanction of the highest authority.
109. The exchange of prisoners of war is an act of convenience to both belligerents.
If no general cartel has been concluded, it cannot be demanded by either by them. No
belligerent is obliged to exchange prisoners of war.
A cartel is voidable so soon as either party has violated it.
110. No exchange of prisoners shall be made except after complete capture, and after
an accurate account of them, and a list of the captured officers has been taken.
111. The bearer of a flag of truce cannot insist upon being admitted. He must al-
ways be admitted with great caution. Unnecessary frequency is carefully to be
avoided,
112. If the bearer of a flag of truce offer himself during an engagement, he can be
admitted as a very rare exception only. It is no breach of good faith to retain such a
flag of truce, if admitted during the engagement. Firing is not required to cease on
the appearance of a flag of truce in battle.
113. If the bearer of a flag of truce, presenting himself during an engagement, is
killed or wounded, it furnishes no ground of complaint whatever.
114. If it be discovered, and fairly proved, that a flag of truce has been abused, for
surreptitiously obtaining military knowledge, the bearer of the flag thus abusing his sa-
cred character, shall be deemed a spy.
So sacred is the character of a flag of truce, and so necessary is its sacredness, that
while its abuse is an especially heinous offence, great caution is requisite on the other
hand, in convicting the bearer of a flag of truce as a spy.
115. It is customary to designate by certain flags, (usually yellow,) the hospitals in
places which are shelled, so that the besieging enemy may avoid firing on them. The
same has been done in battles when hospitals are situated within the field of engage-
ment.
1 16. Honorable belligerents often request that the hospitals within the territory of
the enemy may be designated, so that they may be spared.
An honorable belligerent allows himself to be guided by the flags and signals of pro-
tection as much as the contingencies and the necessities of the fight will permit.
118. It is justly considered an act of bad faith, of infamy or fiendishness, to deceive
the enemy by flags of protection. Such act of bad faith may be good cause for refusing
to respect such flags.
118. The besieging belligerent has sometimes requested the besieged to designate the
buildings containing collections of works of art, scientific museums, astronomical ob-
servatories, or precious libraries, so that their destruction may be avoided as much a&
possible.
VOL. II. — 8
114 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
SECTION VII.
The Parole.
119. Prisoners of war may be released from captivity by exchange, and under certain
circumstances, also by parole.
120. The term Parole designates the pledge of individual good faith and honor to do,
or to omit doing, certain acts, after he who gives his parole shall have been dismissed,
wholly or partially, from the power of the captc*.
121. The pledge of tlie parole is always an individual, but not a private, act.
122. The parole applies chieily to prisoners of war whom the captor allows to return
to their country, or to live in greater freedom within the captor's country or territory,
on conditions stated in the parole.
123. Release of prisoners of war by exchange is the general rule ; release by parole is
the exception.
124. Breaking the parole is punished with death when the person breaking the parole
is captured again.
Accurate lists, therefore, of the paroled persons must be kept by the belligerents.
125. When paroles are given and received there must be an exchange of two written
documents, in which the name and rank of the paroled individuals are accurately and
truthfully stated.
126. Commissioned officers only are allowed to give their parole, and they can give
it only with the permission of their superior, as long as a superior in rank is within
reach.
127. No non-commissioned officer or private can give his parole except through an
officer. Individual paroles not given through an officer are not only void, but subject
the individual giving them to the punishment of death as deserters. The only admissi-
ble exception is where individuals, properly separated from their commands, have suf-
fered long confinement without the possibility of being paroled through an officer.
128. No paroling on the battle-field ; no paroling of entire bodies of troops after a
battle ; and no dismissal of large numbers of prisoners with the general declaration that
they are paroled, is permitted, or of any value.
129. In capitulations for the surrender of strong places or fortified camps, the com-
manding officer, in cases of urgent necessity, may agree that the troops under his com-
mand shall not fight again during the war, unless exchanged.
130. The usual pledge given in the parole is not to serve during the existing war, un-
less exchanged.
This pledge refers only to the active' service in the field against the paroling belliger-
ent or his allies actively engaged in the same war. These cases of the breaking of the
parole are patent acts, and can be visited with the punishment of death ; but the pledge
does not refer to internal service, such as recruiting or drilling the recruits, fortifying
places not besieged, quelling civil commotions, fighting against belligerents unconnected
with the paroling belligerents, or to civil or diplomatic service for which the paroled
officer may be employed.
131. If the government does not approve of the parole, the paroled officer must re-
turn into captivity, and should the enemy refuse to receive him, he is free of his pa-
role.
132. A belligerent government may declare by a general order whether it will allow
paroling, and on what conditions they will allow it. Such order is communicated to
the enemy.
133. No prisoner of war can be forced by the hostile government to parole himself,
and no government is obliged to parole prisoners of war, or to parole all captured offi-
cers if it paroles any. As the pledging of the parole is an individual act, so is paroling,
on the other hand, an act of choice on the part of the belligerent.
134. The commander of an occupying army may require of the civil officers of the
enemy, and of its citizens, any pledge he may consider necessary for the safety or secu-
rity of his army, and upon their failure to give it he may arrest, confine; or detain
them.
SECTION" VIII.
Armistice — Capitulation.
135. An armistice is a cessation of active hostilities for a period agreed upon between
belligerents. It must be agreed upon in writing, and duly ratified by the highest au-
thorities of the contending parties.
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 115
136. If an armstice be declared without conditions, it extends no farther than to re-
quire a total cessation of hostilities along the front of both belligerents.
If conditions be agreed upon, they should be clearly expressed, and must be rigidly
adhered to by both parties. If either party violates any express condition, the armistice
may be declared null and void by the other.
137. An armistice may be general, and valid for all points and lines of the belliger-
ents ; or special, that is, referring to certain troops or certain localities only.
An armistice may be concluded for a definite time ; or for an indefinite time, during
"which either belligerent may resume hostilities on giving the notice agreed upon to
the other.
138. The motives which induce the one or the other belligerent to conclude an armis-
tice, whether it be expected to be preliminary to a treaty of peace, or to prepare during
the armistice for a more vigorous prosecution of the war, does in no way affect the char-
acter of the j^mistice itself.
139. An armistice is binding upon the belligerents from the day of the agreed com-
mencement ; but the officers of the armies are responsible from the day only when they
receive official information of its existence.
140. Commanding officers have the right to conclude armistices binding on the district
over which their command extends, but such armistice is subject to the ratification of the
superior authority, and ceases so soon as it is made known to the enemy that the arm-
istice is not ratified, even if a certain time for the elapsing between giving notice of ces-
sation and the resumption of hostilities should have been stipulated for.
141. It is incumbent upon the contracting parties of an armistice to stipulate what in-
tercourse of persons or traffic between the inhabitants of the territories occupied by the
hostile armies shall be allowed, if any.
If nothing is stipulated the intercourse remains suspended, as during actual hos-
tilities, t
142. An armistice is not a partial or a temporary peace ; it is only the suspension of
military operations to the extent agreed upon by the parties.
143. When an armistice is concluded between a fortified place and the army besieging
it, it is agreed by all the authorities on this subject that the besieger must cease all
extension, perfection, or advance of his attacking works as much so as from attacks by
main force.
Bat as there is a difference of opinion among martial jurists, whether the besieged
have the right to repair breaches or to erect new works of defence within the place dur-
ing an armistice, this point should be determined by express agreement between the parties.
144. So soon as a capitulation is signed, the capitulator has no right to demolish, de-
stroy, or injure the works, arms, stores, or ammunition, in his possession, during the
time which elapses between the signing and the execution of the capitulation, unless
otherwise stipulated in the same.
145. When an armistice is clearly broken by one of the parties, the other party is re-
leased from all obligation to observe it.
146. Prisoners taken in the act of breaking an armistice, must be treated as prisoners
3f war, the officer alone being responsible who gives the order for such a violation of an
irmistice. The highest authority of the belligerent aggrieved may demand redress for
lie infraction of an armistice, *
147. Belligerents sometimes conclude an armistice while their plenipotentiaries are
net to discuss the conditions of a treaty of peace ; but plenipotentiaries may meet with-
out a preliminary armistice ; in the latter case the war is carried on without any abate-
nent.
SECTION IX.
Assassination.
148. The law of war does not allow proclaiming either an individual belonging to the
lostile army, or a citizen, or a subject of the hostile government, an outlaw, who may
de slain without trial by any captor, any more than the modern law of peace allows such,
.nternational outlawry ; on the contrary, it abhors such outrage. The sternest retalia-
:ion should follow the murder committed in consequence of such proclamation, made by
vvhatever authority. Civilized nations look with horror upon offers of rewards for the
issassination of enemies, as relapses into barbarism.
SECTION X.
Insurrection — Civ il War —Rebellion.
149. Is the rising of people in arms against their government, or a portion of it, or
116 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
against one or more of its laws, or against an officer or officers of the government. It
may be confined to mere armed resistance, or it may have greater ends in view.
150. Civil war is war between two or more portions of a country or State, each con-
tending for the mastery of the whole, and eacli claiming to be the legitimate govern-
ment. The term is also sometimes applied to war of rebellion, when the rebellious
provinces or portions of the State are contiguous to those containing the seat of gov-
ernment.
151. The term rebellion is applied to an insurrection of large extent, and is usually
a war between the legitimate government of a country and portions or provinces of the
same who seek to throw off their allegiance to it, and set up a government of their
own.
152. When humanity induces the adoption of the rules of regular war toward reb-
els, whether the adoption is partial or entire, it does in no way whatever imply a par-
tial or complete acknowledgment of their government, if they have set m> one, or of
them as an independent or sovereign power. Neutrals have no right to make the adop-
tion of the rules of war by the assailed government toward rebels the ground of their
own acknowledgment of the revolted people as an independent power.
153. Treating captured rebels as prisoners of war, exchanging them, concluding of car-
tels, capitulations, or other warlike agreements with them; addressing officers of a rebel
army by the. rank they may have in the same; accepting flags of truce ; or, on the
other hand, proclaiming martial law in their territory, or levying war-taxes or forced
loans, or doing any other act sanctioned or demanded by the law and usages of public war
between sovereign belligerents, neither proves nor establishes an acknowledgment of the
rebellious people, or of the government which they may have erected, as a public or
sovereign power. Nor does ttie adoption of the rules of war toward rebels imply an
engagement with them extending beyond the limits of these rules. It is victory in the
field that ends the strife and settles the future relations between the contending parties.
154. Treating, in the field, the rebellious enemy according to the law and usages of
war has never prevented the legitimate government from trying the leaders of the re-
bellion or chief rebels for high treason, and irom treating them accordingly, unless
they are included in a general amnesty.
155. All enemies in regular war are divided into two general classes ; that is to say,
into combatants and non-combatants, or unarmed citizens of the hostile government.
The military commander of the legitimate government, in a war of rebellion, distin-
guishes between the loyal citizen in the revolted portion of the country and the dis-
loyal citizen. The disloyal citizens may further be classified into those citizens known
to sympathize with the rebellion, without positively aiding it, and those who, without
taking up arms, give positive aid and comfort to the rebellious enemy, without being
bodily forced thereto.
15(3. Common justice and plain expediency require that the military commander
protect the manitestly loyal citizens, in revolted territories, against the hardships of the
war as much as the common misfortune of all war admits.
The commander will throw the burden of the war, as much as lies within his power,
on the disloyal citizens of the revolted portion or province, subjecting them to a
stricter police than the non-combatant enemies have to suffer m regular war; and if he
deems it appropriate, or if his government demands of him that every citizen shall, by
an oath of allegiance, or by some other manifest act, declare his fidelity to the legiti-
mate government, he may expel, tiansfer, imprison, or line the revolted citizens who
refuse to pledge themselves anew as citizens obedient to the law and loyal to the gov-
ernment.
"Whether it is expedient to do so, and whether reliance can be £>laced upon such oaths,
the commander or his government have the right to decide.
157. Armed or unarmed resistance by citizens of the United States against the law-
ful movements of their troops is levying war against the United States, and is there-
fore treason.
(&$tl£Xl\X (&X&tX$f l War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 101. ) Washington, April -lb, 1863.
I. — The proceedings of a Military Commission convened at Memphis, Tennessee, on
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 117
the day of February, 1863, by virtue of Special Orders No. 3, dated November
28; No. 8, dated December 3; and No. 30, dated December 29, 18(12, from the Head-
quarters District Memphis, and before which was tried M. Brozman, have been sub-
mitted to the Secretary of War.
It does not appear from the record of proceedings that the Commission or the Judge
Advocate were sworn in presence of the accused. In consequence of this and other irreg-
ularities in the case, the sentence is reversed and set aside.
II. —The proceedings of the Court Martial in the case of Captain Thomas Saville, 1st
Maryland Volunteers, promulgated in General Orders No. 28, from the Headquarters
Middle Department, dated April 9, 1863, not having been approved by the officer who
ordered the Court, the sentence in his case is inoperative. The dismissal of Captain Sa-
ville will therefore take the date February 22, 1863, given in Special Orders No. 130, of
March 20, 1863, from the War Department.
III. — The sentence u to be cashiered,11 awarded 1st Lieutenant Hermann Grozkordt,
9th Ohio Volunteers, and " commuted to a forfeiture of three months1 pay proper11 in
General Orders No. 36, of March 1, 1863, from Headquarters Department of the Cumber-
land, is hereby remitted. The Department Commander could not legally commute the
sentence of the Court. Under the 89th article of War, he could only suspend it, and

($£\UXR\ (&X&tX$,\ War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 105. ) Washington, April 28, 1863.
The organization of an Invalid Corps is hereby authorized.
This Corps shall consist of Companies, and if it shall hereafter be thought best, of
Battalions.
The Companies shall be made up from the following sources, viz :
First. By taking those officers and enlisted men of commands now in the field (wheth-
er actually present or temporarily absent) who, from wounds received in action or disease
contracted in the line of duty, are unfit for field service, but are still capable of effective
garrison duty, or such other light duty as may be required of an Invalid Corps. Regi-
mental Commanders shall at once make out, from information received from their Medi-
cal and Company Officers, and from their own knowledge, rolls (according to the Form
furnished) of the names of all the officers and enlisted men under their commands who
fulfill the following conditions, viz :
1. That they are unfit for active field service on account of wounds or disease con-
tracted in the line of duty ; this fact being certified by a Medical Officer in the service,
after personal examination.
2. That they are fit for garrison duty ; this fact being likewise certified by the Medi-
cal Officer, as above, after personal examination.
3. That they are, in the opinion of their Commanding Officers, meritorious and de-
serving.
These rolls shall be certified by the Examining Surgeon and Regimental Commander,
and transmitted, through the regular channels of military correspondence, to the Pro-
vost Marshal General of the United States.
The Regimental Commander shall enter in the column of remarks, opposite, each offi-
cer's name on the roll, a statement as to the general character of the officer for intelli-
gence, industry, sobriety, and attention to duty ; and all intermediate commanders shall
endorse thereon such facts as they may possess in the case, or if they have none, they
shall state how far they are willing to endorse the opinion of the officer or officers mak-
ing the recommendation. Similar rolls shall be forwarded from time to time, .whenever
the number of men fulfilling the conditions enumerated or the exigencies of the service
may render it expedient.
Second. By taking those officers and enlisted men still in service and borne on the
rolls, but who are absent from duty, in Hospitals or Convalescent Camps, or are other-
wise under the control of Medical Officers. In these cases the Medical Officer in atten-
dance shall prepare the rolls according to Form, entering the names of officers and
men from the same Regiment on a roll by themselves, and send them, with the certifi-
cate of the Surgeon, duly signed, to the proper Regimental Commander, who will for-
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. - 121
ward them, as heretofore specified, subject to the same conditions and requirements. If
in any case, the Regimental Commander shall think an officer unfit, in point of character,
to continue in the service of the Invalid Corps, though disabled and certified by the
Surgeon, he will state his objection in the column of remarks, and note the exception
before signing the certificate. If any officer or enlisted man now in the service, but ab-
sent and beyond the reach of a Medical Officer in charge of a Hospital or Convalescent
Camp, desires to enter this Corps, he will take the couise indicated below for those who
have been honorably discharged the service.
Third. By accepting those officers and enlisted men who have been honorably dis-
charged on account of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty, and who de-
sire to re-enter the service. In the case of an officer, application for appointment must
be made to the Provost Marshal General of the United States through the officer detail-
ed as Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of the State. No application of this
kind will be considered unless the following conditions are completely fulfilled :
1. That the applicant produce the certificate of the Surgeon of the Board of Enroll-
ment for the District in which he resides, that he is unfit for active field duty on account
of wounds or disease, and is not liable to draft, but is fit for garrison duty.
2. That he furnish evidence of honorable discharge on account of wounds or disa-
bility contracted in the line of duty.
3. That he produces recommendations from the Regimental, Brigade, and Division
Commanders under whom he formerly served, that he is worthy of being thus provid-
ed for and capable of returning adequate service to the Government. In case it shall be
impracticable to get this last evidence, he may, having established the first two points
above, satisfy the Board of Enrollment that he is deserving, and present its certificate
of the fact. This evidence must all be obtained by the applicant, and must be trans-
mitted with his application for appointment.
If there be no Acting As-istant Provost Marshal General for the State, the app^cation
may be forwarded through the Adjutant General of the State, who is desired to endorse
thereon such facts in the military history of the applicant as he may know, or as are
afforded by his records, and forward the same to the Provost Marshal General of the
United States. Enlisted men, honorably discharged on account of disability, desiring
to re-enlist in this Corps, will present themselves to the Board of Enrollment for the
District in which they reside, for examination by the Surgeon thereof, who shall exam-
ine them and report the result to the Board of Enrollment.
The Board shall then consider each case, and if the applicant is found to fulfill the
conditions specified below, the Board shall give him a certificate to that effect, viz :
1. That he is unfit for service in the field.
2. That he is fit for garrison duty.
3. That he is meritorious and deserving.
4. That he was honorably discharged from the service.
The Provost Marshal for the District shall then send the application, with this certifi-
cate of the Board, to the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of the State, who
shall procure such evidence of service and character as the records of the Company to
which he belonged, on file at the Headquarters of the State, may show, and if satisfied
that it is a meritorious case, and that the man is deserving, he will enlist him in accord-
ance with such special rules as the Provost Marshal General may establish.
Medical Inspectors, Surgeons in charge of Hospitals, Military Commanders, and all
others having authority to discharge, under existing laws and regulations, are forbid-
den to grant discharges to any men under their control who may be fit for service in the
Invalid Corps.
The Provost Marshal General is charged with the execution of this order, and the
troops organized under it will be under the control of his Bureau.

The field officers, chaplain, and regimental staff — commissioned and non-commis-
sioned— will not be mustered, or received into service, without special authority from
the War Department. As a general rule, Artillery wiil be called for, and received, by
batteries, thus rendering the field and staff unnecessary.
n. — Chaplains must meet the requirements of section 8 of the act of July 17, 1862,
(G. 0. 91, A. G. O., 1862, pages 17 and 18,) as follows:
" No person shall be appointed a chaplain in the United States Army who is not a
regularly ordained minister of some religious denomination, and who does not present
testimonials of his present good standing as such minister, with a recommendation for
his appointment as an Army chaplain from some authorized ecclesiastical body, or not
less than five accredited ministers belonging to said religious denomination."
After Chaplains are appointed, under section 9 of the act of July 22, 1861, (G. 0. 49,
A. G. 0, 1861, page 4,) they must be mustered into service by an officer of the regular
Army, and thereafter borne on the field and staff roll of the regiment.
Mustering officers before mustering Chaplains into service, will require from them a
copy of the proceedings on which the appointment is based. The said copy, if found
conformable to the requirements of the law, will be endorsed by the mustering officer,
and by him forwarded to the Adjutant General's office, for file with the muster-in roll.
III. — Except where consolidations have been made, or are to be made, under G. O.
No. 86, from this office, the foregoing organizations will be strictly adhered to by all
concerned.
No commissioned officer or enlisted man, of any grade, in excess of the legal organi-
zation, will be recognized. Any commander who may acknowledge, or receive, as in
service, any such officer or enlisted man, will be brought to trial for neglect of duty and
disobedience of orders. No person acting in the capacity of a supernumerary will,
under any circumstances, be permitted to receive pay and allowances from the govern-
ment ; and Paymasters, making payment to such supernumeraries, will be held indivi-
dually accountable for amounts so paid.

unless sooner discharged ; and upon the regiment being filled up within the thirty days
aforesaid, the officers shall be restored to their rank as from the date of their original
commissions. This, however, will give no claim to pay for the time between muster-
out and re-entry into service.
III. — The law provides that a man who enlists for three years, unless sooner discharged
is entitled to one month's pay in advance upon the mustering of his company into the
service of the United States, or after he shall have been mustered into and joined a regi-
ment already in the service, and to a bounty of one hundred dollars, twenty-five dollars
of which is to be paid in advance when his company is organized, muster-in rolls made
out, and the mustering officer's certificate given thereto, or after he shall have been
mustered into and joined a regiment already in the service.
IV. — Hereafter, regiments of volunteers leaving the field on account of expiration of
term of service will be permitted, on the application of their officers, who shall under-
take to hold themselves responsible for their safe delivery, to take their anus and ac-
coutrements to the place of discharge, to be delivered to the Governor of the State, or
to officers appointed by him to receive them. The arms and accoutrements will lie held
subject to reissue to the men on re-enlistment in their former companies and regiments.

itruction by an enemy, or by the abandonment or destruction, by the order of the com-
nanding general, the commanding officer, or quartermaster, of any horse, mule, ox,
vagon, cart, boat, sleigh, or harness, while such property was in the service of the
Jnited States, either by impressment or contract, except in cases where the risk to which
;he property would be exposed was agreed to be incurred by the owner ; and any person
vho has sustained or shall sustain damage, by the death or abandonment and loss of.
my such horse, mule, or ox, while in the service aforesaid, in consequence of the failure
m the part of the United States to furnish the same with sufficient forage ; and any per-
son who has lost, or shall lose, or has had, or shall have destroyed by unavoidable
iccident, any horse, mule, ox, wagon, cart, boat, sleigh, or harness, while such property

was in the service aforesaid, shall be allowed and paid the value thereof at the time he
entered the service : Provided, It shall appear that such loss, capture, abandonment, de-
struction, or death was without any fault or negligence on the part of the owner of the
property, and while it was actually employed in the service of the United States.1'
To establish a claim under this provision, it is necessary to produce the testimony of
the officer or agent of the United States who impressed or contracted for the service of
the property mentioned in such claim, describing the property, showing when and in
what manner it was taken into the service, the reasons and necessity therefor, the man-
ner in which it was employed, and the value thereof when taken into the service. The
officer in whose charge the property was at the time of loss must also state the time,
place, and manner in which the loss happened, and whether or not it was sustained
without any fault or negligence on the part of the owner. In cases where the property
was in the service by contract the rate of compensation to be allowed must appear, and

the owner; and in cases of horses, mules, or oxen lost for want of forage, whether the
same was to be furnished by the owner or by the United States.
Each claim must be accompanied by a deposition of the claimant, declaring that he
u has not recived from any officer or agent of the United States any horse, mule, wagon,
cart, &c, (as the case may be,) in lieu of the property lost, nor any compensation for the

ment has or might *be made.. The claim must be supported by the original valuation
list if the property was appraised at the time of being taken into the United States ser-
vice; if no appraisement was made, the best attainable evidence as to the value thereof
may be received.
AH evidence other than the certificates of officers who, at the time of giving them,
were in the military service of the United States, must be sworn to before some judge,
justice of the peace, or other person duly authorized to administer oaths, and of which
authority proof should accompany the evidence. %
In no case can the production of the evidence above described be dispensed with,
unless the impracticability of producing it be clearly proved ; and then the nearest and
best other evidence of which the case is susceptible must be furnished in lieu thereof.

gines and cars, lost or destroyed while in the service of the United States, by impress-
ment OR CONTRACT.

Whilst the government is most anxious to provide for and employ, to the best of
their abilities, those faithful soldiers who, from wounds or the hardships of war, are no
longer able to perform active duty in the field, yet it can, upon no account, permit men,
undeserving or totally disabled, to re-enter its service.
Those faithful soldiers whose physical intirmities are too great to admit of their being
of any use in the Invalid Corps will, nevertheless, receive the pensions and bounties
provided by law.
It is further announced that no officer or enlisted man shall be entitled to or receive
any pension, premium, or bounty, for enlistment, re-enlistment, or service in the Invalid
Corps. They wLl receive all other pay and allowances now authorized by law for the
U. B. Infantry except the increased pay for re-enlistment. Claims for pensions or boun-
ties which may be due for previous service will not be invalidated by enlistment in the
Invalid corps. But no pensions can be drawn or accrue to the benefit of any man dur-
ing his service in said Corps. The officers and men will be organized into Companies
of Infantry, of the same strength as is now authorized by law for the U. S. infantry.
No organized Brigades, Regiments, Companies, or parts of Companies, will be accepted
as such. Enlistments in this Corps will be for three years, unless sooner discharged.

Colonel John W. Foster, vindicating the conduct of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, and
denying the justness and truth of some comments in your paper in reference to die treat-
ment which our men have received at his hands. With all deference to the opinions
and candor of Lieutenant Colonel Foster, (who was not with us at the time of our
greatest privations,) the undersigned represent that your comments are substantially
correct ; that our men, after two days' very severe marching, during which time they
marched nearly sixty miles, with very little to eat, were not furnished with such food as
the secesh place afforded ; that our men, who had eaten nothing since morning, were

ess, while there was plenty of beef cattle in the pasture, potatoes in the field, and
icgroes, with several places for cooking such provisions as the place afforded. The
ibove instance is not an exceptional case, but many of t lie hardships which have so often
jroken down our men were unnecessary, and might have been avoided by a humane

reatment, are ever ready to discharge all the duties and undergo all the privations in-
cident to a soldier's life.

he will turn over to the Chief Quartermaster any horse, being his property, which may
have been purchased from the Quartermaster's Department under the privileges of

accompany the application with a certificate that the horses for which transportation
is asked are their private property, purchased at a distance from the seat of war, and
that they have never been the property of the United States^ Without such certificate,
no such application for transportation of horses shall be considered.

To execute more promptly the provisions of General Orders Nos. 105 and 130, from
this Department, it is hereby ordered —
1. General Orders No. 69, War Department, March 20, 1863, is hereby revoked, and
the officers and enlisted men referred to therein shall be examined for admission into
the Invalid Corps, and if found to meet the requirements of General Orders Nos. 105

Orders No. 105.

(according to form furnished,) they shall be sent by Coimna#iders of Regiments, Bat-
teries, Independent Companies, and Detachments, to the Commanders of the Army
Corps to which the persons named on the Rolls belong.
198 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
Immediately on the receipt of these Rolls the Corps Commanders having examined
and indorsed them in accordance with General Orders No. 105, War Department, 1863,
shall issue orders transferring all such officers and men to the Invalid Corps, and drop-
ping them from the Rolls of the active force, and will forward the Rolls, with a copy of
his order of transfers, to the Provost Marshal General at Washington. The previous
military history of every officer and soldier will, as far as practicable, be stated on the
Invalid Roll. Medical officers and chaplains will not at present be transferred.
3. That the rolls of men for the Invalid Corps, prepared by commanders of convale-
scent camps, commanders of invalid detachments, and medical officers in charge of hos-
pitals or depots of convalescents, shall, as soon as made out, be forwarded to the Pro-
vost Marshal General direct.
4. That the commanding officers of the various army corps shall also direct that the
men thus transferred be at once collected together by staff officers, and sent under charge
of proper officers, with their descriptive list and clothing account, to the points desig-
nated below for their respective corps. The arms and accoutrements may be sent
with the men or not as the corps commander deems best.
Officers and men on the Rolls sent from the Army Corps in the Army of the Potomac
and Department of Washington, will report to Lieutenant Colonel Samuel McKelvey, at
the Convalescent Camp, near Alexandria, Virginia.
Those on the Rolls sent from the Army Corps under the command of Major Generals
Banks, Hunter, and Foster, will report to Colonel R. Nugent, 69th New York Volun-
teers, and Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General at New York city.
Those on the Rolls sent from the Army Corps under the command of Major Generals
Dix and Keyes, will report to Colonel C. M. Prevost, 118th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
commanding Depot Camp at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Those on the Rolls sent from Army Corps in Kentucky, and in the Department of the
Cumberland, will report to Major W. H. Sideil, at Louisville, Kentucky.
Those on the Rolls sent from the Army Corps under the command of Major Gene-
rals Grant and Schoneld, will report to Colonel £. B. Alexander, at St. Louis, Missouri.
Commanders of Army Corps will notify the Provost Marshal General, by the most
expeditious means of communication, when detachments of invalids are directed to
leave the corps in compliance with this order. The monthly returns of regiments and
independent commands will state the number of officers and men transferred to the In-
valid Corps, and Corps Commanders will consolidate and enter this information in their
monthly returns to the Adjutant General's Office.
Hereafter in giving discharges to officers and soldiers, on account of disability, their
discharge papers must always state whether, at the time of discharge, the officer or
soldier was or was not physically suitable to enter or re-enlist in the Invalid Corps.
So much of General Orders No. 105, from this department, as forbids the "discharge
of any man upon surgeon's certificate of disability who may be fit for service in the
Invalid Corps " is so far modified as not to include officers.
5. That no commissioned officer in the Invalid Corps will receive a higher commission
for the present than Major. The claims to higher grades will be duly considered as the
organization of the Corps progresses

The number of Brigadier Generals being limited by law, the urgent necessity for offi-
cers of that grade in the field requires that all, except those wounded in battle, whose
health is so infirm as to have kept them from active duty more than thirty days, should
be mustered out, and their places filled by others physically capable of service. It is
therefore ordered —
1st. That all officers of the rank of Brigadier General who have been absent more than
thirty days from duty on account of sickness, other than those wounded in battle, report
the present state of their health; and that those who report themselves unfit for duty in
the field, be honorably mustered out of service within ten days from this date.
2d. That those who do not report unfit for duty, proceed, within forty-eight hours
after the receipt of this order, to join their commands, informing the Adjutant General
by letter of the fact.
3d. That those who have been absent more than thirty days, by reason of wounds re-
ceived in battle, report when they expect to be able to resume duty, sending a surgeon's
certificate setting forth the nature of their wounds and their present condition.

$CttCVftt (ix&tt0f I War Dep't, Adjutant General's 'Office,
No. 207. ) Washington, July 3, 1863.
I. — The attention of all persons in the military service of the United States is called
to Article 7 of the cartel agreed upon on the 22cl of July, 1862, and published in Gene-
ral Orders, No. 142, September 25, 1862. According to the terms of this cartel, all cap-
tures must be reduced to actual possession, and all prisoners of war must be delivered
it the places designated, there to be exchanged, or paroled until exchange can be effect-
ed. The only exception allowed is the case of commanders of two opposing armies,
A'ho are authorized to exchange prisoners or to release them on parole at other points
mutually agreed upon by said commanders.
II. — It is understood that captured officers and men have been paroled and released in
he field by others than commanders of opposing armies, and thai the sick and wounded
n hospitals have been so paroled and released, in order to avoid guarding and remov-
ng them, which in many cases would have been impossible. Such paroles are in viola-
ion of General Orders and the stipulations of the cartel, and are null and void.
Phey are not regarded by the enemy, and will not be respected in the armies of the
Jnited States. Any officer or soldier who gives such parole will be returned to duty
vithout exchange, and, moreover, will be punished for disobedience of orders. It is the
luty of the captor to guard his prisoners, and if, through necessity or choice, he fail to
lo this, it is the duty of the prisoner to return to the service of his Government. He
ahnot avoid this duty by giving an unauthorized military parole.
III. — A military parole not to serve until exchanged must not be confounded with a
>arole of honor to door not to do a particular thing not inconsistent with the duty of a
oldier. Thus, a prisoner of war actually held J>y the enemy may, in order to obtain
xemption from a close guard or confinement, pledge his parole of honor that he will
aake no attempt to escape. Such pledges are binding upon the individuals giving
hem ; but they should seldom be given or received, for it is the duty of a prisoner to
scape if able to do so. Any pledge or parole of honor extorted from a prisoner by ill
isage or cruelty is not binding.
IV. — The obligations imposed by the general laws and usages of war upon the non-
ombatant inhabitants of a section of country passed over by an invading army, cease
idien the military occupation ceases ; and any pledge or parole given by such persons,
a regard to future service, is null and of no effect.

careful examination of the record does not lead to a concurrence in the opinion of the
General Commanding the Department. The proof is clear that the accused was guilty
Df the charges against him. The President therefore directs that Lieutenant Stiles be
dismissed ; and he accordingly ceases to be an officer in the service of the United States

1. A Bureau will be attached to the War Department, to be designated the Cavalry
bureau.
2. This bureau will have charge of the organization and equipment of the Cavalry
brces of the Army, and of the provision for the mounts and remounts of the same.
VOL. II. — 19
290 GENERAL ORDERS, 18G3.
3. The purchases of all horses for the Cavalry service will be made by officers of the
Quartermaster's Department, under the direction of the Chief of the Cavalry Bureau.
Inspections of horses offered for the Cavalry service will be made by Cavalry officers.
4. Depots will be established for the reception, organization, and discipline of Caval-
ry recruits and new regiments, and for the collection, care, and training of Cavalry hor-
ses. These depots will be under the general charge of the Cavalry Bureau.
6. Copies of inspection reports of Cavalry troops, and such returns as may be at any
time called for, will be sent to the Bureau established by this order.
6. The enormous expense attending the maintenance of the Cavalry arm, points to
the necessity of greater care and more judicious management on the part of Cavalry
officers, that their horses may be constantly kept up to the standard of efficiency for
service. Great neglects of duty in this connection are to be attributed to officers in
command of Cavalry troops. It is the design of the War Department to correct such
neglects, by dismissing from service officers whose inefficiency and inattention result in
the deterioration and loss of the public animals under their charge.

($$ttCXR\ ($X&&X$t I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 237. ) Washington, July 28, 1863.
The following instructions, intendedto promote the efficiency of the Cavalry service,
are promulgated for the guidance of all concerned :
I. — Inspections will be made of all Cavalry troops at the end of every month, reports
of which inspections will be forwarded without delay, through the Army or Department
Commander, to the head of the Cavalrv Bureau at Washington. These reports will ex-
hibit the condition of the Cavalry service in general, and especially the condition of the
mounts. The reports shall state what service the troops inspected have done since last
inspected ; how many miles their horses have travelled within the month ; what char-
acter of service has been required of them, and under what circumstances it has been
rendered ; what appears to have been the care taken of them, as regards treatment,
shoeing, &c, &c. ; what has been the quantity and character of the rations of forage
issued to them ; if there have been any deficiency of forage, and who is responsible
therefor, &c, &c. ; and shall convey any other information pertaining to the objects of
the inspection which it may be advisable should come to the notice of the Bureau.
II. — Inspection reports shall divide Cavalry horses into four classes :
1. Those which are to be condemned as untit for any use whatever in any branch oi
the service. With regard to this class, proceedings are to be had as required by existing
regulations.
2. Those now unfit for cavalry service, and not likely to be efficient again for such
service, which may be used for team or draught horses, er for herding purposes. Horses
of this class are to be turned into the Quartermaster's Department.
3. Those which are now unfit for service or nearly so, but which, by timely care and
treatment in depots, will regain condition. Such horses are to be sent to such depots
as may be established for the Army, to be replaced by an equal number of good animals
from the depots. As soon as serviceable, the horses turned in will be eligible for re-
issue.
4. Serviceable horses.
The number of each class of horses will be given in every report of inspection, for
each troop in the service.
III. — A suitable number of officers of the Quartermaster's Department will be direct-
ed to report at once to the Chief of the Cavalry Bureau, to be charged with disburse-
ments for the objects of his Bureau, under his direction.
IV. — Purchases will be forthwith made of a sufficient number of horses to meet the
present and the prospective wants of the service up to September 1, 1863, and the horses
placed in depots for issue from time to time.
V. — Requisitions for remounts will be made through the intermediate Commanders on
the Chief of the Cavalry Bureau, who will give orders on the depots for the horses
needed to fill them.
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 291
VI. — Officers of the Quartermaster's Department assigned to duty under the orders
of the Chief of the Cavalry Bureau, will make their reports and returns of money and
property, as required by existing laws and regulations, to the Accounting Officers of the
Treasury and to the Quartermaster General, and will also make to the Chief of the
Cavalry Bureau such reports and returns as he may require for his information.
Estimates for funds will be submitted to the Chief of the Cavalry Bureau for his ap-
proval before being finally acted upon by the Quartermaster General.
VII. — Major General George Stoneman is announced as the Chief of the Cavalry Bu-
reau in Washington.

I. — Hereafter, before approving the tenders of resignation of disbursing officers,
Commanding Generals will cause all public money and property in their hands to be
turned over to some proper officer designated to receive the same ; and the fact that
such action has been had will be endorsed on the resignation, and reported besides to
the head of the proper Staff Department at Washington.
II. — The resignation of officers of volunteer service will only be accepted under para-
graph 1647, General Regulations, upon their exhibiting satisfactory evidence from the

E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant General
($£tltV%\ (Ovilf V#, l War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 250. ) Washington, July 30, 1863.
I. — Before a General Court Martial which convened in the city of Washington, D. 0.,
July 20, 1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 31 G, dated War Department, Adjutant
General's Office, Washington, July 17, 1863, and of which the following is the detail
for the Court :
Major General E. A. Hitchcock, U. S. Volunteers.
Brigadier General G. VV. Morrell, U. S. Volunteers ;
Brigadier General J. J. Abercrombie, U. S. Volunteers ;
Brigadier General J. P. Hatch, U. S. Volunteers;
Brigadier General S. A. Meredith, U. S. Volunteers ;
was arraigned and tried —
Hazel B. Cashell, a citizen of the state of Maryland.
Charge. — " Giving intelligence to the enemy.
Specification 1st — "In this ; that he, Hazel B. Cashell, a citizen of the State of Mary-
land, did ijive intelligence to a body of Rebel Cavalry, said Cavalry being enemies of
the United States, by informing them, and by pointing out to them, the direction and route
which a large lot of cattle, belonging to the United States, had, on the 28th day of
June, 1863, been driven, to escape and avoid being captured by said body of Rebel
Cavalry. This at Montgomery county, in the State of Maryland, on or about the 28th
day of June, 1863.
Specification 2d — "In this; that he, the said Hazel B. Cashell, after giving said Rebel
Cavalry, referred to in the first specification, the information therein stated, did, at the
same time, also further inform said Rebel Cavalry that said large lot of cattle were without
the protection of a guard. This in Montgomery county, Maryland, on or about the 28th
day of June, 1863."
To which charge and specifications the accused, Hazel B. Cashell, a citizen of the
State of Maryland, pleaded " Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Court, having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused,
Hazel B. Cashel, a citizen of the State of Maryland, as follows :
Of the 1st Specification, "Guilty."
Of the 2d Specification, "Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Guilty."
Sentence.
u The Court finds that although the accused answered certain questions put by rebels,
which, in a strict literal sense, conveyed intelligence to the enemy, it has not appeared in
evidence that the information was volunteered, nor does the Court perceive that such
intelligence was given with that criminal design which the law contemplates as the ani-
mus of a breach of the 57th Article of War; and the Court therefore affixes no penalty
to the offence beyond an admonition that, in future, he will be more on his guard in
answering inquiries addresed to him by an enemy.
" And it is further directed, that the finding and judgment of the Court in this case
be published in three of the newspapers published in the city of Washington."
War Department, July 29, 1863.
II. — The findings of the Court upon the charge and specifications are approved. The
11 Sentence" as it is termed, is disapproved. The charge and specification, of which the
GENERAL OEDERS, 1863. 319
accused was found guilty, necessarily imported criminality under the 57th Article of
War, and the declaration of the Court, that " it has not appeared in evidence that
the information was volunteered, nor does the Court perceive that such intelligence was
given with that criminal design which the law contemplates as the animus of a breach of
the 57th Article of War,1' was unwarranted by the law an 1 the testimony.
It appears from the evidence in the record that the accused had at pasture on his
farm, in Montgomery county, Maryland, some five hundred head of cattle, which, with some
five hundred others, all the property of the United States, were driven away on the morning
of the 28th June for their protection from the rebel cavalry, then approaching. The
rebels riding up soon thereafter, demanded, in the presence of several persons, including
witness (Thomas Rabbitt) and the accused, in what direction the cattle had gone.
Rabbitt, practising a ruse which war justifies, pointed them in a direction opposite to
the true one. v One of them returned, however, in a few minutes from the pursuit, and
repeated the demand, when the accused unhesitatingly indicated to him the road which
the cattle had taken, and, in addition, stated their number, and that they were without
any guard, except the herdsmen ordinarily attending them — a statement which could
have had but one object. The information thus communicated was most important to
the enemy, and it was given voluntarily, without threat or persuasion, or the exercise of
any undue influence whatever. When to this prompt and complete disclosure made to
the enemy is added the disloyal reputation and sympathies of the accused, as proved by
the evidence, no doubt can be entertained as to the animus of his conduct.
It sufficiently appears that the accused was expecting the arrival of the rebels, and,
in referring to their coming, said there were two persons in Rockville — naming the
United States Provost Marshal and Postmaster — " who ought to be, and he guessed they
would be, captured." His guilt, under the 57th Article of War, was fully established
by the testimony, and that guilt was aggravated by the trust which had been reposed
in him by the Government, and which was so shamefully and disloyally betrayed. Yet
the "judgment" of the Court was, that there was present, in the action of the accused,
no such " criminal design as the law contemplates as a breach of the 57th Article of
War;" and therefore the Court contents itself with admonishing him, that u in
future he shall be more on his guard in answering inquiries addressed to him
by an enemy ;" and this is the penalty provided for an offence which, under the Articles
of War, is punishable with death. For such action by a Military Court, in presence of
such flagrant crime, there is believed to be no precedent.
The Court also directs that their '' judgment" shall be published in three of the news-
papers of the city of Washington. This publication will not be sanctioned, since it
would be, in effect, a declaration to all disloyal men that they may, at will, communi-
cate intelligence to the public enemy without the fear of any other penalty than the
gentle suggestion of a Court Martial that they should be on their guard when doing so.
Although the accused has been relieved of all responsibility under the 57th Article of
War, he is still liable to be prosecuted under the 2d section of the act to suppress in-
surrection, &c, approved 17th July, 1862, for giving aid and comfort to the rebellion ;
and, that the prosecution for this offence may be proceeded with, he will be handed
over to the civil authorities.
It is ordered that this Court be at once dissolved, and that another Court Martial be
organized for the trial of the cases now pending.
It is further ordered that this review be published in the Army and Navy Gazette, as
an expression of the strong disapproval with which the action of this Court is regarded
by the Department.

E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant General
($<Ctt£Vtf I (&X&tX$9 I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No, 252. ) Washington., July 31, 1863.
The following order of the President, is published for the information and government
of all concerned :
Executive Mansion, Washington, July 30, 1863.
It is the duty of every Government to give protection to its citizens, of whatever class,
color, or condition, and especially to those who are duly organized as soldiers in the
public service. The law of nations, and the usages and customs of war, as carried on
by civilized powers, permit no distinction as to color in the treatment of prisoners of
war as public enemies. To sell or enslave any captured person, on account of his
color, and for no offence against the laws of war, is a relapse into barbarism, and a crime
against the civilization of the age.
The Government of the United States will give the same protection to all its soldiers ;
and if the enemy shall sell or enslave any one because of his color, the offence shall be
punished by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners in our possession.
It is therefore ordered, that for every soldier of the United States killed in violation
of the laws of war, a rebel soldier shall be executed ; and for every one enslaved by the
enemy or sold into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be placed at hard labor on the public
works, and continued at such labor until the other shall be released and receive the
treatment due to a prisoner of war. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The sentence of death in the case of John W. Sailor, tried on the charge of murder
before a Military Commission, which convened at Winchester, Virginia, February 6,
1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 17, dated Headquarters, Milroy's Division, Win-
chester, Virginia, February 5, 1868, is inoperative, on account of informality in the
proceedings of the Commission. It does not appear from the record that the order con-
vening the Commission was read to the prisoner, or in his hearing ; that he had an op-
portunity to object to any member of the Commission; that the charge against him was
in writing; or that he had, in advance of the examination of the witnesses, any
knowledge of the offence for which he was to be tried ; nor is it shown that the prisoner
was allowed to plead to the charge against him as recited in the order convening the
Commission.
In a proceeding involving life, such irregularities are wholly inexcusable, and make
the execution of the death sentence legally impossible. The President directs that the
prisoner, John W. Sailor, be released from arrest.

be made in proportion to the amount ordered to be carried.
II. — Cavalry horses are often broken down or injured by permitting the riders to
carry extra baggage. Cavalry officers will be held responsible for the immediate re-
moval of this evil.
The knapsacks of infantry soldiers will also be frequently inspected, to see that they
are properly packed, and that nothing is carried in them except what is directed by
regulations and orders.
III. — In ordinary marches, where the troops can receive daily issues from the trains, they
will be required to carry only two days' rations. But in the immediate vicinity of the
enemy, and where the exigencies of the service render it necessary for troops to move
without baggage or trains, the men may be required to carry with them from 8 to 13
days' rations, as follows :
For Eight Lays.
Five days' beef or mutton, to be driven on the hoof or collected in the
country passed over.
Three days' cooked rations in haversacks .... weight, 5 3-4 lbs.
'Five days'. rations of bread and small stores in knapsacks. . " 6 "
A change of under-clothes in knapsacks. . . . " 2 "
A blanket. . "5 1-4 "
Total weight, ....... 19
For Twelve Days.
Nine days' rations of meat, on the hoof.
Three days' cooked rations, in haversacks. .... weight, 5 3-4 lbs
Nine days' rations of biscuit and small stores, in knapsacks. . " 10 1-2 "
A change of under-clothes, in knapsacks. . . " 2 "
A blanket. ... . " 51-4 "
Total weight. . ./ . . . . 231-2
The under-clothing should be packed in the knapsacks next to the back.
One or two pack animals will march with each regiment, according to its size, to
carry camp kettles, rice, beans, &c. Where circumstances will permit, a wagon may be
assigned to a Brigade or Division for this purpose.
Officers' servants are expected to carry rations for their officers and themselves. Those
of mounted officers are expected to be mounted, and to be able to carry small forage
for their animals. Long forage must be sought for in the country.
By increasing the ordinary meat ration, and levying contributions of flour and meal
in the country passed over, the bread and small rations carried as above by the soldier

may be made to last from 20 to 25 days. In the proper season, the bread ration may
be partially dispensed with by substituting green corn, which can be foraged in the
fields. Movable columns in the field should be furnished with hand and horse mills for
grinding the grain which they procure in the country.
Within one week after the receipt of this order at their respective Headquarters, In-
spectors of Armies and Army Corps will report directly to the Adjutant General of the
Army every violation of this order, certifying in their reports that they have thoroughly
inspected the several commands, and have reported therein every deviation from this
order in regard to allowance and transportation.
IV. — The attention of all officers commanding forces in the field is called to the fore-
going details, and they will adopt them as instructions in fitting out their command
for movements which are to be made rapidly and without ordinary transportation.
This order will be published at the head of every Regiment.

By an act of the General Assembly of the State of Iowa, approved September, 11,
1862, the right to vote for certain State officers, is given to volunteers or soldiers from that
State in the military service of the United States, and provision is made for the appoint-

To secure and preserve discipline, provide against disaster from the elements or attack
by the enemy, the Senior Officer in the military service of the United States, present with
troops upon any transport, will assume command, unless he finds, on going on board, a
commander already designated by proper authority.
All troops on board the transport will, at the earliest moment after embarking, be
inspected and organized into detachments or companies. The Senior Officer will
assign officers to each detachment or company, and take all measures necessary to put
his command into the best state of efficiency to meet any emergency.
This order applies to all troops on board of transports, whether on duty or furlough,
or in separate detachments; and the Senior Officer on board will-be held responsible for
any failure in the performance of the duties above imposed upon him, and for the
enforcement in his command of strict observance of the Article 37, Revised Army
Regulations, for the government of troops on transports.
He will require, when arriving in sight of port, a report of the voyage from the Senior
Officer or acting officer of each staff department on board, and will transmit it with his
own report, through the proper channel to the Adjutant General of the Army.
These reports should give any facts of interest touching the accommodation and
health of the troops, the manner in which the officers and crew of the transport have
performed their duties, and the length of the voyage ; and any observations which may
enable the War Department to detect and correct abuses and punish neglect.
This Order will be placed in a conspicuous position in every chartered or purchased
transport.

Paragraph 1106, Regulations for the Army, is modified so as to allow the General
Commanding an Army, or the Commander of a Military Department, to authorize the
officers of the Quartermaster's Department, under his control, to furnish transportation,
in light or spring- wagons, for Paymasters, their clerks and funds, over routes where
railways, steamboats and stage lines are not available, when such paymasters are ordered
on such journeys for the payment of troops, and are not serving immediately with forces
operating in the field* Such means of transportation will be in full for the Paymaster,
his clerks, personal baggage, public funds, and official books and papers. No more
than one light or spring-wagon will be furnished to any one Paymaster toy the above
purposes for any one journey; but the Commander authorizing this transportation may
direct that more than one Paymaster be transported in the same manner.
The means of transportation thus provided will remain in charge of the Quartermas-

I.— Before a General Court Martial, which convened at the Headquarters, 6th Corps,
April 22, 1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 107, dated Headquarters, 6th Corps,
April 21, 1863, and of which Brigadier General Frank Wheaton, United States Volun-
teers, is President, was arraigned and tried —
Surgeon Alfred Wynkoop, United States Volunteers.
Charge. — " Conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline."
Specification — " That Surgeon Alfred Wynkoop, United States Volunteers, did inform
William Pollock, a citizen of Virginia known to be friendly to the enemy, and others
of the same family, of certain important movements of our troops that had already
taken place, and of others which there was reason to expect would take place soon.
This at the house of William Pollock, on the picket front of the Army of the Potomac,
on or about April 14, 1863."
To which charge and specification the accused, Surgeon A. Wynkoop, United States
Volunteers, pleaded " Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Court, having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Sur-
geon A. Wynkoop, United States Volunteers, as follows :
Of the Specification, " duilty."
Of the Charge, " Guilty."
Sentence.
And the Court does therefore sentence him, Surgeon Alfred Wynkoop, United States
Volunteers, " To be dismissed the service of the United States."
II. — The proceedings of the Court in the case of Surgeon Alfred Wynkoop have been
approved by the proper commanders, and forwarded for the action of the President of
the United States. The members of the Court having joined in a statement, concurred
in by the Army Corps Commander, that the loyalty of the accused was not doubted by
them, and commending the accused to clemency, the Major General Commanding the
Army of the Potomac, has suspended the execution of the sentence, under the 89th
Article of War, and forwarded the record of the court to the President, with the recom-
mendation '-that the sentence be mitigated to a severe reprimand, to be published in
general orders."
The President, in reviewing the record, is. willing to believe there was less intentional
criminality than there was indiscretion in the conduct of Surgeon Wynkoop ; but he does
not find any excuse for so grave an offence in the fact that the information conveyed by
him was not proved to have been put to an improper use. Surgeon Wynkoop was
visiting professionally a family residing near the rebel lines, when he conversed with
them in reference to the movements of the United States troops. An officer who justly
appreciates his military obligations would require no reminder that such indiscretion,
admitting it to be nothing worse, is reprehensible in the highest degree, and might have
caused serious disaster to the Army.
In order that Surgeon Wynkoop may have an opportunity to justify the orfinion of
the members of the Court as to his loyalty, and to retrieve what he has lost in the esti-
mation of his fellow officers by reason of his culpable disregard of the confidential trust
belonging to his official position, the President directs that his sentence be remitted
with this reprimand.

No. 286. ) Washington, August 17, 1863.
Irregularities having occurred in the discharge of prisoners of war, through the exer-
cise of discretionary power by some of the department and other commanders, it has
become necessary to order :
1. No prisoner of war, after having been reported to the Commissary General of
Prisoners, will be discharged except upon an order from the Commissioner for the Ex-
change of Prisoners, who will act under instructions from this Department.
2. All applications and recommendations for discharge will be forwarded to the Com-
missary General of Prisoners, who will endorse on each application such facts, bearing
on the case, as may be matter of record in his oiiice, when the application will be sub-
mitted for the Decision of the Department, through the Commissioner for the exchange
of prisoners.
3. In general, the mere desire to be discharged upon taking the oath of allegiance will
furnish no sufficient ground for such discharge ; but cases where it can be shown that
the prisoner was impressed into the rebel service, or which can plead in palliation ex-
treme youth, followed by open and declared repentance, with other reasons, whatever
they may be, may be specially reported.
4. In all cases, a descriptive list of those discharged will be furnished by the officer
making the discharge, for file in the office of the Commissary General of Prisoners.
5. The oath of allegiance, when administered, must be taken without qualification,
and can in no case carry with it an exemption from any of the duties of a citizen.

Special Orders, Nos. 61 and 66, Headquarters, Albuquerque, N. M., June 15 and June 26,
1863, on the charge " conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline," the
charge should have been laid under the 45th Article of VVrar, the specifications charging
them with drunkenness while on duty. The suspension of the sentences by the Depart-
ment Commander is approved, and they are inoperative, not having been awarded under
or in accordance with the proper Article of War, which specifies the kind of punishment
for the offence of which they were convicted.
Bugler O'Brien, Musician Madden, and Private Lynch, will be released from confine-
ment and returned to duty.

Enlisted men thus transferred will still be borne on the rolls of the Companies to
which they belong, as on detached service at Regimental Depots. On arriving at the
Depots they will at once be organized into provisional Companies, the officers for which
will be assigned from those of the Regiment who have been recommended for such duties
by the board for the examination of sick officers, at either Annapolis or Columbus, Ohio.
All enlisted men of the Regular Army who have passed the necessary examination for
the Invalid Corps, in accordance with the orders on the subject, will be at once for-
warded to their proper Regimental Depots.

I. — The following defects in the records o/ a General Court Martial, which convened
in May last at the Headquarters, 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 6th Corps, of which Lieu-
tenant Colonel E. L. Campbell, 15th New Jersey Volunteers, was President, before which
were tried Privates John Miller, Charles Haskard, A. Dobson, J. Johnson, and P.
Ferguson, 1st New Jersey Volunteers, and T. McOluskey, A. Baldwin, and J. Mulgrove,
2d New Jersey Volunteers, and J. W. Priestly, 15th New Jersey Volunteers, are published
for the information and guidance of all concerned :
The records in each case fail to show that the Court was organized as the law re-
quires, or that it was organized at all. If a record does not show that the Court con-
vened pursuant to the order constituting it, and how many and what members were
present, the defects cannot be supplied by a reference to the records of another case tried
at an earlier hour on the same day in which this does appear.
II. — The proceedings, findings, and sentences in the cases of the following enlisted
men, tried before a General Court Martial, which convened at Fort Pulaski, Georgia, oi
which Major Dudley W. Strickland, 48th New York Volunteers, was President, and pub-
lished in General Orders, No. 54, Headquarters Department of the South, are inopera-
tive, the record of the Court not showing that the Judge Advocate was sworn:
Private Charles Mills, Company "E," 48th New York Volunteers.
Corporal William Clarkson, Company " I," 48th New York Volunteers.
Corporal John Giles, Company " B," 48th New York Volunteers.
Corporal William H. Pense, Company "F," New York Volunteer Engineers.
Corporal Charles E. Brayton, Company " G," 3d Rhode Island Artillery.
Private John Fenner, Company " G," 48th New York Volunteers.
Private Calvin Havens, Company "F," 48th New York Volunteers.
Private Charles E. Jones, Company " E," 48th New York Volunteers.
III. — The following defects in the records of a General Court Martial, which convened
at Catlett's Station, Virginia, July 28, 1863, of which Lieutenant Colonel E. Powell,
66th Ohio Volunteers, is President, before which were tried Privates Patrick Heenan, Com-
pany " G," 149th New York Volunteers, James Petrie, and Joshua Nixon, Company
" A," 28th Pennsylvania Volunteers, are published for the information and guidance of
all concerned :
The records in each case fail to show that the Court was organized according to law,
or that it was organized at all ; and in the case of Private Ileenan, there is no averment
of the place of the commission of the offence in either of the srjecifications under the
two separate charges. These irregularities render the sentences in the above cases in-
operative.
IV. — The sentence of a General Court Martial, which convened at the Henry House,
Virginia, May 29, 1863, of which Captain W. Harvey Brown, 14th U. S. Infantry, is
President, in the case of Private John Spring, Company " B," 6th U. S. Infantry, is in-
operative, the record not showing that the Court or Judge Advocate were duly sworn in
the presence of the accused.
V. — The sentence in the case of Private James T. Young, Company " A," 13th Ken-
tucky Volunteers, tried before a General Court Martial, which convened at Munfordville,
Kentucky, July 9, 1863, of which Major Alexander Magruder, 27th Kentucky Volun-
teers, was President, is inoperative, the record not showing that either the Court or
Judge Advocate were sworn.
VI. — The proceedings and findings of a General Court Martial, which convened at the
Headquarters, 3d Division, 21st Corps, July 28, 1863, of which Lieutenant Colonel
380 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
Henry G. Stratton, 19th Ohio Volunteers, is President, in the case of Private Bluford S.
McCandless, Company u B," 21st Kentucky Volunteers, are fatally defective. The ac-
cused was tried for absence without leave, but there is no evidence whatever of an un-
authorized absence, it not appearing but that he might have absented himself with full
authority. Moreover, the findings of the Court are inconsistent with each other, the ac-
cused having been found guilty of the specification "but not improperly absent all the
time specified, by reason of sickness ;" and of the charge, guilty. The proof and find-
ings are so defective that the sentence is hereby remitted.
VII. — The following defects in the records of a General Court Martial, which con-
vened at Fort Pickering, Tennessee, February 6, 1863, of which Captain J. P. Winters,
89th Indiana Volunteers, was President, before which was tried Private J. B. Curnes,
Company '• D," 130th Illinois Volunteers, are published for the information and guid-
ance of all concerned :
The record fails to show that the Court was organized as the law requires. To state
that " the Court being regularly in session, (as recorded in a former case,) proceeded to
try," &c, is not in compliance with paragraph 891, Revised Army Regulations. The
sentence in the above case is therefore inoperative.
VIII. — The proceedings, findings, and sentences in the cases of Private Israel Kerr,
Company "I," 120th Illinois Volunteers, and Sergeant Frederick Mitz, Company " I,"
89th Indiana Volunteers, tried before a General Court Martial, which convened at Fort
Pickering, Tennessee, April 25, 1883, of which Lieutenant Colonel R. A. Peter, 131st Illi-
nois Volunteers, was President, are inoperative. It appears from the record that but
four members of the Court Martial were present at each trial.
IX. — The proceedings, findings, and sentence in the case of Private John Gray back)
Company " D," 3d Ohio Cavalry, tried lWore a General Court Martial which convened
at the Headquarters, 2d Division, 21st Corps, June 23, 1863, of which Major Thomas M.
McClure, 24th Ohio Volunteers, was President, are inoperative, the record not showing
that the Court or Judge Advocate were sworn in the presence of the accused.
X. — The proceedings, findings, and sentence in the case of Private Jacob Fredge,
Company " E," 113th Ohio Volunteers, tried before a General Court Martial, which con-
vened at Shelbyville, Tennessee, July 28, 1863, of which Lieutenant Colonel Carter Van
Vleck, 78th Illinois Volunteers, was President, are inoperative, the record not showing
that the Judge Advocate was sworn.

The following defects in the records of a General Court Martial, which convened at
the Headquarters, 2d Division, 20th Corps, February 7, 1863, of which Lieutenant Col-
onel F. Erdelmeyer, 32d Indiana Volunteers, was President, and before which were
tried Privates M. Blue, Company u D," 29th Indiana Volunteers ; M. Donehoo and Pat-
rick Franey, Company " G," and Timothy McCormick, Company " A," 6th Kentucky
Volunteers; David liigley, Company uli,"30th Indiana Volunteers; John McBride,
Company " D," Ira Buck and Joseph PL Stanley, Company k'G," 34th Illinois Volun-
teers; Charles B. Hamilton, Company " F," 15th Ohio Volunteers; and Wagoner S.
Vandalier, Company k* D," BOth Indiana Volunteers, are published lor the information
and guidance ot all concerned:
The records contain no sufficient statement as to the organization of the Court, nor do
they set forth the order convening it.
In the cases of Privates Blue and Buck, the reviewing officer has omitted to state
his " decision and orders" at the end of tue proceedings.
In the cases of Privates Donehoo and Franey, tried for " Desertion," there is no aver-
ment oiienue in the specifications, and the parties plead " Not Guilty." They are found
''Guilty" of the specifications, but u Not Guilty" of the charges, and yet are sentenced
by the Court. *
In the case of Wagoner Vandalier, the accused is found u Guilty" of the specification,
but "Not Guilty" ot the charge, "Desertion," and yet is sentenced by the Court.
In the case of Private McBride, the accused is found "Not Guilty" of the specification
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 397
of one of the charges, yet " Guilty" of the charge ; and the sentence must have been partly
based upon this erroneous finding.
For these reasons the sentences in all the above cases are inoperative.

The Medical Inspector General has, under direction of the Surgeon General, the super-
vision of all that relates to the sanitary condition of the Army, whether in transports,
quarters, or camps; the hygiene, police, discipline, and efficiency of field and general
hospitals ; and the assignment of duties to Medical Inspectors.
Medical Inspectors are charged with the duty of inspecting the sanitary condition of
transports, quarters, and camps of field and general hospitals, and will report to the Med-
ical Inspector General all circumstances relating to the sanitary condition and wants of
troops and of hospitals, and to the skill, efficiency, and conduct of the officers and at-
tendants connected with the Medical Department. They are required to see that all reg-
ulations for protecting the health of troops, and for the careful treatment of and attend-
ance upon the sick and wounded, are duly observed.
They will carefully examine into the quantity, quality, and condition of medical and
hospital supplies, the correctness of all medical, sanitary, statistical, military, and prop-
erty records and accounts pertaining to the Medical Department, and the punctuality
with which reports and returns, required by Regulations, have been forwarded to the
Surgeon General.
They will ascertain the amount of disease and mortality -among the troops, inquire in-
to the causes, and the steps that may have been taken for its prevention "or mitigation,
indicating, verbally or in writing, to the medical officers such additional measures or
precautions as may be requisite. When sanitary reforms, requiring the sanction and co-
operation of military authority, are urgently demanded, they will report at once, in writ-
ing, to the officer commanding Corps, Department, or Division, the circumstances and
necessities of the case, and the measures considered advisable for their relief, forwarding
a, duplicate of such reports to the Medical Inspector General.
They will instruct and direct the medical officers in charge as to the proper measures
to be adopted for the correction of errors and abuses, and, in all cases of conflict of
views, authority, or instructions, with those of Medical Directors, will report the circum-
stances fully and promptly to the Medical Inspector General for the Surgeon General's
orders.
Upon or near the beginning of each month, Medical Inspectors will make minute and
thorough inspections of hospitals, barracks, camps, transports, &c, &c, within the dis-
tricts to which they are assigned, in conformity with these instructions, and the forms
for inspection reports furnished them.
Monthly inspection reports, in addition to remarks under the several heads, will also
sonvey the fullest information in regard to the medical and surgical treatment adopted ;
the advantages or disadvantages of location, construction, general arrangement and ad-
ministration of hospitals, camps, barracks; the necessity for improvement, alteration, or
repair, with such recommendations as will most certainly conduce to the health and
comfort of the troops, and the proper care and treatment of the sick and wounded.
When alterations, improvements, or repairs, requiring the action of Heads of Bureaus,
are considered essential, special reports, accompanied by plans and approximate esti-
mates of quantities or cost, will be made.
Medical Inspectors will make themselves fully conversant with the regulations of
the Subsistence Department in all that relates to issues to hospitals, whether general,
field, division, or regimental, and will satisfy themselves, by rigid examination of ac-
counts and expenditures, that the fund accruing from retained rations is judiciously ap-
plied, and not diverted from its proper purposes through the ignorance or inattention of
medical officers, giving such information and instruction on this subject as may be re-
quired. They will also give close attention to the supervision of cooking by the medi-
cal officer, whose duty it is, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1863, and General
Orders, No. 247, of 1863, to u submit his suggestions for improving the cooking, in writ-
428 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
ing, to the commanding officer," and to accompany him in frequent inspections of the
kitchens and messes.
They will exercise sound discrimination in reporting "an officer of the Medical Corps
as disqualified, by age or otherwise, for promotion to a higher grade, or unfitted for the
performance of his professional duties," and be prepared to submit evidence of its cor-
rectness to the Medical Board, by whom the charge will be investigated.
Medical Inspectors are also charged with the duty of designating, to the surgeon in
charge of general hospitals and convalescent camps, all soldiers who are in their opinion
fit subjects for discharge on surgeons' certificate of disability, or sufficiently recovered to
be able for duty. In all such cases they will direct the surgeon to discharge from ser-
vice, in accordance with existing orders and regulations, or return to duty those so des-
ignated.
Official communications to the Medical Inspector General will be directed- to the Sur-
geon General, U. S. A., and plainly addressed on the left-hand lower corner of envelope
"For the Medical Inspector General," the name and title of the writer being written un-
der the words " Official Business."
It is expected that all commanding officers will afford every facility to Medical In-
spectors in the execution of their important duties, giving such orders as may be neces-
sary to carry into effect their suggestions and recommendations; and it is enjoined upon
all medical officers, and others connected with the Medical Department of the United
States Army, to yield prompt compliance with the instructions they may receive from
Medical Inspectors on duty in the Army, Department, or District in which they are serv-
ing, on all matters relating to the sanitary condition of the troops, and of the hygiene,
police, discipline, and efficiency of hospitals.

The following Act of Congress, and Proclamation of the President, based upon the
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 449
same, are published for the information of all concerned ; and the special instructions
hereinafter contained for persons in the military service of the United States will be
strictly observed :
AN ACT RELATING TO HABEAS CORPUS, AND REGULATING JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS IN
■ certain cases. Approved March 3, 1863.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That, during the present rebellion, the President of the United
States, whenever, in his judgment, the public safety may require it, is authorized to sus-
pend the jjrivilege of the writ of habeas corpus in any case throughout the United States,
jt any part thereof. And whenever and wherever the said privilege shall be suspended,
is aforesaid, no military or other officer shall be compelled, in answer to any writ of
habeas corpus, to return the body of any person or persons detained by him by authority
r>f the President ; but upon the certificate, under oath, of the officer having charge of
any one so detained that such person is detained by him as a prisoner under authority
:>f the President, further proceedings under the writ of habeas corpus shall be suspended
by the judge or court having issuecl the said writ, so long as said suspension by the
President shall remain in force, and said rebellion continue.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES — A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The Constitution of the United States has ordained that the privilege of
habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the
oublic safety may require it, and whereas a rebellion was existing on the third day of
Vlarch, 1863, which rebellion is still existing, and whereas, by a statute, which was ap-
oroved on that day, it was enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
iJnited States in Congress assembled, that during the present insurrection the President
)f the United States, whenever, in his judgment, the public safety may require, is author-
zed to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in any case throughout the United States, or
iny part thereof; and, whereas, in the judgment of the President, the public safety does
'equire the privilege of the said writ shall now be suspended throughout the United.
States, in the cases when, by the authority of the President of the United States, mili-
ary, naval, and civil officers of the United States, or any of them, hold persons under
;heir command, or in their custody, either as prisoners of war, spies, or aiders or
vbettors of the enemy, or officers, soldiers, or seamen enrolled, drafted, or mustered or
mlisted in, or belonging to, the land or naval forces of the United States, or as deser-
ters therefrom, or otherwise amenable to military law, or the Rules and Articles of War,
)r the rules and regulations prescribed for the military or naval services by authority of
;he President of the United States ; or for resisting a draft, or for any other offence
igainst the military or naval service :
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby pro-
claim and make known to all whom it may concern, that the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus is suspended, throughout the United States, in the several cases before
nentioned, and that this suspension will continue throughout the duration of the said
•ebellion, or until this proclamation shall, by a subsequent one to be issued by the
President of the United States, be modified or revoked. And I do hereby require all
Magistrates, attorneys, and other civil officers within the United States, and all officers
ind others in the military and naval services of the United States, to take distinct
lotice of this suspension, and to give it full effect, and all citizens of the United States
;o conduct and govern themselves accordingly, and in conformity with the Constitution
>f the United States and the laws of Congress in such cases made and provided.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the
r -. United States to be affixed, this (15th) day of September, in the year of our Lord
\ ' °* one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United
States of America, the eighty-eighth.
By the President : ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.
The attention of every officer in the military service of the United States is called to
;he above Proclamation of the President, issued on the 15th day of September, 1863, by
vhich the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is suspended. If, therefore, a writ of
habeas corpus should, in violation of the aforesaid Proclamation, be sued out and served
rpon any officer in the military service of the United States, commanding him to pro-
luce before any court or judge, any person in his custody by authority of the President
vol. ii. — 29
450 GENERAL ORDERS, 1363.
of the United States, belonging to any one of the classes specified in the President's
Proclamation, it shall be the duty of such officer to make known by his certificate, under
oath, to whomsoever may issue or serve such writ of habeas corpus, that the person named
in said writ M is detained by him as a prisoner under authority of the President of the
United States."
Such return having been made, if any person serving, or attempting to serve, such
writ, either by the command of any court or judge, or otherwise, and with or without
process of law, shall attempt to arrest the officer making such return and holding in
custody such person, the said officer is hereby commanded to refuse submission and
obedience to such arrest, and if there should be any attempt to take such person from
the custody of such officer, or arrest such officer, he shall resist such attempt, calling to
his aid any force that may be necessary to maintain the authority of the United States,
and render such resistance effectual.

$t\\CX%X (§Xt\tX$f I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 327. ) Washington, September 28, 1863.
I. — Before a General Court Martial, which convened at Alexandria, Virginia, February
27, 1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 13, dated Headquarters, Department of Wash-
ington, February 23, 1863, and of which Colonel Gabriel De Korponay, 28th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, is President, was arraigned and tried —
Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General,
Defences South of the Potomac.
Charge I. — " Neglect of duty."
Specification — "In this; that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, approve a certificate of goods, in the hands of one W. A. Stewart, to
pass said goods into the enemy's country, which certificate read as follows :
'Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 1863.
* Four (4) trunks containing articles of merchandise not contraband, and which have
been examined.
' Approved :
(Signed) « JAMES A. TAIT, Provost Marshal General
February 14, 1863.'
Which trunks were subsequently seized, and found to contain about four thousand packs
of playing cards. This at Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 1863."
Charge II. — " Disobedience of orders."
Specification — " In this; that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, and in disobedience of orders, grant a pass or passes to one W. A.
Stewart, to enable him [Stewart] to pass the lines of pickets into the enemy's country.
This at Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 186*3."
Charge III.— " Violation of the fifty-sixth Article of War."
Specification — " In this ; that James A. Tait, Colonel, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, grant certain documents to one W. A. Stewart, to enable him [Stewart]
to convey to points in the Confederate States, tea, sugar, coffee, and other articles
whereby aid, comfort, and relief would be furnished the enemy. This at Alexandria,
Virginia, February 14, 1863."
To which charges and specifications the accused, Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District
of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac,
pleaded "Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Court having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Colo-
nel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, De-
fences South of the Potomac, as follows :
Chaege I.
Of the Specification, "Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, "Not Guilty."
544 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
Charge II.
Of the Specification, " Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Not Guilty."
Charge III.
Of the Specification, " Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Not Guilty."
And the Court does therefore most honorably acquit the accused, Colonel James A.
Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of
the Potomac.
II. — The proceedings, findings, and acquital of the accused by the Court were disap-
proved by the Major General commanding the Department, on the ground that "the evi-
dence adduced shows each charge and specification conclusively proved. The case was
then transmitted to the War Department for the action of the President of the United
States. The full acquital, by the Court, of Colonel Tait, was, in view of all the testi-
mony adduced, quite unaccountable, and justly receives the disajjproval of the review-
ing officer.
The President directs that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers,
be " dismissed the service of the United States, from the 21st day of September, 1863."

United States Army, Acting Judge Advocate, Department of the Ohio, did, on or about
the 18th day of June, 1863, at the Headquarters, Department of the Ohio, use language
to the effect following, to wit : You, (addressing Captain Hutton, Aide -de-Camp to
General Burnside,) have no right to my desk ; if you take it again I will report you.'
To which Captain Hutton replied : ' You report me ! I do not acknowledge your right
to report me. I am not used to that mode of settling a difficulty between gentlemen.'
To which Captain Cutts rejoined : ' It may not be the way among blackguards and
gamblers,1 and 'It may not be the mode suitable to blacklegs and bullies,' or words to
that effect. The said Captain Cutts seeking thereby to exasperate and wound the
feelings of a brother officer, and did utterly refuse afterward to make any explanation
or retraction of the offensive language used."
Specification 2d — "In this; that on or about the 21st day of June, 1863, the said Cap-
tain J. M. Cutts, 11th Infantry, United States Army, Acting Judge Advocate, Depart-
ment of the Ohio, did send a written communication over his own proper official sig-
nature, and addressed to one Major William Cutting, Aide-de-Camp to General Burn-
side, in which he used the following language, to wit : ' In recommending your friend
Captain Hutton to a staff appointment, you will remember that you described him as
an accomplished rider, &c, &c, but a coward. You gave him this character in the pres-
ence of General Burnside, myself, and other members of the staff. I heard you make
this statement in regard to him more than once.' And again, on the 22d day of June,
1863, in a communication to the same, the said Captain Cutts used the following lan-
guage, to wit : ' On both of the occasions when you made the statement — for I now
distinctly remember two — -I was myself indignant, and remarked to a brother staff offi-
cer, that a person bearing the character you represented your friend. Captain Hutton,
to possess, was hardly fit for a position on anybody's staff.' All of which was entirely
aud utterly false, and said statements were made by him with the design and inten-
tion of bringing into disrepute and disgrace a worthy brother staff officer of good
standing and honorable character."

through the Venetian blind or transom light in or over the door into said room and at
said lady while undressing. This to the great outrage of the feelings of the lady and
her husband, and to the great scandal and injury of the service."

Of the 3d Specification, " Guilty, except the words 'on the afternoon of said day did

fantry, Acting Judge Advocate, Department of the Ohio, " To be dismissed the service."
2. Captain Charles Gordon Hutton, Aide-de-Camp.
Charge — " Violation of the 25th Article of War."
Specification — " That he, Captain Charles Gordon Hutton, Aide-de-Camp to Major

' Sir — My note of last evening, requesting an apology
for, and retraction of, the insulting expression apjjlied to me in our discussion of yes-
terday, having been returned with the endorsement ' that you did not propose to enter
into any consideration of the subject,' I presume that you are willing to afford me the
satisfaction to which I am entitled, and which I now formally demand.
' This will be handed you by my friend, Major Cutting, who is authorized to re-
ceive any communication from you, and to make all necessary arrangements for a meet-
ing.
' I remain, sir, your obedient servant,
' CHAS. GORDON HUTTON,
' Captain, and A. D. C.1
This at Cincinnati, Ohio, on or about the 19th day of June, 1863."

Finding.
The Court, having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Cap-
tain Charles Gordon Hutton, Aide-de-Camp, as follows :
Of the Specification, " Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Guilty."
Sentence.
And the Court does therefore sentence him, Captain Charles Gordon Hutton, Aide-

Charge. — " Carrying a challenge, in violation of the 26th Article of War."

Finding.

jor William Cutting, Aide-de-Camp, as follows :
Of the Specification, " Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, "Not Guilty."
II. — The proceedings of the Court in the case of Captain J. M. Cutts, 11th U. S. In-
fantry, having been submitted to the President, are approved. But in view of the pre-
vious good character and standing of the accused, and of his gallant conduct in bat-
tle, the sentence is remitted, and Captain Cutts will be released from arrest, and will
forthwith proceed to join his regiment in the field, after receiving from the President a
reprimand.
The sentence of the Court in the case of Captain Charles Gordon Hutton, Aide-de-
Camp, being submitted to the President, is disapproved. The penalty fixed by the
25th Article of War for the offence of which the accused is found guilty, viz., sending
a challenge to another officer, is cashiering, and admits of no alternative. ("Art. 25. —
No officer or soldier shall send a challenge to another officer or soldier to fight a duel,
or accept a challenge, if sent, upon pain, if a commissioned officer, of being cashiered ;
if a non-commissioned officer or soldier, of suffering corporeal punishment, at the dis-
cretion of a Court Martial.") Yet the Court sentenced him to be reprimanded by the
President of the United States. The President directs that Captain Hutton be dis-
missed the service of the United States from the 28th clay of September, 1863.
The proceedings and findings in the case of Major William Cutting, Aide-de-Camp,
are approved. Major Cutting wrill be released from arrest, and returned to duty.

volunteers :
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION".
Whereas the term of service of a part of the volunteer forces of the United States
will expire during the coming year; and whereas, in addition to the men raised by the
present draft, it is deemed expedient to call out three hundred thousand volunteers to
serve for three years or the war, not, however, exceeding three years :
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States and Comman-
der-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, and of the Militia of the several States
when called into actual service, do issue this my Proclamation, calling upon the Gover-
nors of the different States to raise and have enlisted into the United States service, for
the various companies and regiments in the field from their respective States, their
quotas of three hundred thousand men.
I further proclaim that all volunteers thus called out and duly enlisted shall receive
advance pay, premium, and bounty, as heretofore communicated to the Governors of States
"by the War Department, through the Provost Marshal General's Office, by special
letters.
I further proclaim that all volunteers received under this call, as well as all others not
heretofore credited, shall be duly credited on and deducted from the quotas established
for the next draft.
I further proclaim that if any State shall fail to raise the quota assigned to it by the
War Department under this call, then a draft for the deficiency in said quota shall be
made on said State, or on the districts of said State, for their due proportion of said
quota ; and the said draft shall commence on the fifth day of January, 1864.
And I further proclaim that nothing in this Proclamation shall interfere with existing
orders, or those which may be issued, for the present drafts in the States where it is
now in progress or where it has not yet commenced.
The quotas of the States and districts will be assigned by the War Department,
through the Provost Marshal General's Office, due regard being had for the men hereto-
fore furnished, whether by volunteering or drafting, and the recruiting will be conducted
in accordance with such instructions as have been or may be issued by that Department.
In issuing this Proclamation, I address myself not only to the Governors of the
several States, but also to the good and loyal people thereof, invoking them to lend their

willing, cheerful, and effective aid to the measures thus adopted, with a view to rein-
force our victorious armies now in the field, and bring our needful military operations to
a prosperous end, thus closing forever the fountains of sedition and civil war.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this seventeenth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of

II. — The proceedings, findings, and sentences of the Court in the foregoing cases are
approved. The sentences will be executed by confinement of the prisoners, James En-
right, Andrew J. Smith, Francis Sullivan, and William Hill, in the Penitentiary at
Albany, N. Y., which is hereby designated as the place of their imprisonment. The
Military Governor of the District of Columbia will send them, under proper guard, to
Albany, and deliver them to the Warden of the Penitentiary.
Six of the nine members of the Court recommend the accused to clemency, in con-
sideration of their previous good character and honorable service. The Secretary of
War sees no ground for the proper interposition of the Executive clemency in behalf of
the accused, whose sentences hardly sufficiently mark the gravity of their offences. The
officers recommending the accused to clemency are admonished as to the impropriety of
such recommendations in favor of convicted forgers, which can only tend to lower the
standard of honesty and trustworthiness in the military service, and bring Courts
Martial into low esteem.

The Court of Inquiry instituted by Special Order No. 408, of September 11, 1863,
from the War Department, whereof Major General David Hunter, U. S. Volunteers, is
President, and which convened in the city of St. Louis, Mo., September 21, 1863, " to
investigate the circumstances attending the loss of a large amount of funds," by the de-
struction of the steamer Ruth by fire, has reported the following
Opinion :
" After the examination of many witnesses and documents, and a careful inquiry into
all the circumstances of the case, the Court is of the opinion that the steamer Ruth was
fired by an incendiary. Not for the particular purpose — although that may have been
an additional object — of destroying the public funds on board, but in conformity with
what appears to be a plan of the rebels for the destruction of the water transportation
in the Valley of the Mississippi, and thus crippling the movements of our armies."
The Court is of opinion that " No Government officer, or agent of the funds, has been
to blame for misconduct or neglect of duty in the premises."
The foregoing opinion, having been duly submitted, is approved.

I. — Before a Military Commission, which convened at Henderson, Kentucky, June 10,
1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 1,25, dated Headquarters, District Western Ken-
tucky, Louisville, Kentucky, May 26, 1863, and of which Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
Johnson, 65th Indiana Volunteers, is President, was arraigned and tried —
George Woolfolk, now or late of the so-called Confederate Army.
Charge. — "Being secretly within the lines of the United States forces, at the same
time belonging to the so-called Confederate Army."
Specification — "In this ; that the said George Woolfolk, an enemy of the Government,
a Private of Company ' H,' Tenth Kentucky Regiment, in the service of the so-called
Confederate Army, on or about the 24th of April, 1863, was arrested in Lyon county,
Kentucky, where he was found* secretly within the lines of the United States forces, in
some unknown capacity, in violation of General Orders, No. 38, Department of the
Ohio, and contrary to the laws of war ; he by his presence being able to obtain informa-
tion and communicate the same to the enemy." #
To which charge and specification the accused, George Woolfolk, now or late of the
so-called Confederate Army, pleaded " Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Commission having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused,
George Woolfolk, now or late of the so-called Confederate Army, as follows :
Of the Specification, " Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Guilty."
Sentence.
And the Commission does therefore sentence him, George Woolfolk, now or late of
the so-called Confederate Army, " To be shot unto death, at such time and place as the
Commanding General may direct: two-thirds of the members concurring."
II. — The proceedings of the Court in the foregoing case have been approved by the
Major General Commanding the Department of the Ohio, and forwarded for the action
of the President of the United States. The record gives no proof that the accused was
a spy; and although he admitted that he had formerly been in the rebel army, it would
appear from testimony that he had voluntarily left it, and had expressed a willingness,
through a prominent Union citizen, to take any obligation to the United States required
of him, and to go wherever he might be ordered ; and also averred that he did not wish
to be exchanged as a prisoner of war.
In view of all the circumstances in the case, the President remits the sentence, and
directs that the prisoner, George Woolfolk, be allowed to take the oath of allegiance,
giving satisfactory sureties for his future good conduct ; or, failing to do this, that he
be exchanged as a prisoner of war.

E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant General
(Kktttf tal ($VdW#t I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 327. ) Washington, September 28, 1863.
I. — Before a General Court Martial, which convened at Alexandria, Virginia, February
27, 1863, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 13, dated Headquarters, Department of Wash-
ington, February 23, 1863, and of which Colonel Gabriel De Korponay, 28th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, is President, was arraigned and tried —
Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General,
Defences South of the Potomac.
Charge I. — " Neglect of duty."
Specification — "In this; that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, approve a certificate of goods, in the hands of one W. A. Stewart, to
pass said goods into the enemy's country, which certificate read as follows :
'Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 1863.
* Four (4) trunks containing articles of merchandise not contraband, and which have
been examined.
* Approved :
(Signed) « JAMES A. TAIT, Provost Marshal General.
February 14, 1863.'
Which trunks were subsequently seized, and found to contain about four thousand packs
of playing cards. This at Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 1863."
Charge II. — " Disobedience of orders."
Specification — " In this ; that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, and in disobedience of orders, grant a pass or passes to one W. A.
Stewart, to enable him [Stewart] to pass the lines of pickets into the enemy's country.
This at Alexandria, Virginia, February 14, 1863."
Charge III.— " Violation of the fifty-sixth Article of War."
Specification — " In this ; that James A. Tait, Colonel, 1st District of Columbia Volun-
teers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac, did, while acting in his
official capacity, grant certain documents to one W. A. Stewart, to enable him [Stewart]
to convey to points in the Confederate States, tea, sugar, coffee, and other articles
whereby aid, comfort, and relief would be furnished the enemy. This at Alexandria,
Virginia, February 14, 1863."
To which charges and specifications the accused, Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District
of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of the Potomac,
pleaded "Not Guilty."
Finding.
The Court having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Colo-
nel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, De-
fences South of the Potomac, as follows :
Charge I.
Of the Specification, "Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, "Not Guilty."
544 GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
»
Charge II.
Of the Specification, " Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Not Guilty."
Charge III.
Of the Specification, " Not Guilty."
Of the Charge, " Not Guilty."
And the Court does therefore most honorably acquit the accused, Colonel James A.
Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, Provost Marshal General, Defences South of
the Potomac.
II. — The proceedings, findings, and acquital of the accused by the Court were disap-
proved by the Major General commanding the Department, on the ground that "the evi-
dence adduced shows each charge and specification conclusively proved. The case was
then transmitted to the War Department for the action of the President of the United
States. The full acquital, by the Court, of Colonel Tait, was, in view of all the testi-
mony adduced, quite unaccountable, and justly receives the disapproval of the review-
ing officer.
The President directs that Colonel James A. Tait, 1st District of Columbia Volunteers,
be " dismissed the service of the United States, from the 21st day of September, 1863."

E. D. TOWN SEND, Assistant Adjutant General
(Bt tititftl ($Vti£X$t I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 359. ) Washington, November 6, 1863.
I. — To carry out the provisions of paragraphs 8 and 9, General Orders, No. 191, cur-
rent series, from this office, in reference to volunteers who may come within the limit
for re-enlistment as Veteran Volunteers, as fixed by General Orders, No. 305, current
series, the following regulations are established :
MUSTERS-OUT OF SERVICE.
1. The muster-out or discharge of all men who may re-enlist, and their re-enlistments
and consequent re-musters, will be under the immediate supervision and direction of
the Commissaries and Assistant Commissaries of Musters for the respective Armies and
Departments. The said officers will make all musters-out of and re-musters into the service.
2. All men who desire to take advantage of the benefits of the Veteran Volunteer
order, by re-enlistment under it, will be regularly mustered out of service on the pre-
scribed muster-out rolls. The discharges prescribed by paragraph 79, Mustering Regu-
lations, will be furnished in all cases. A remark will be made on the muster-out rolls,
over the signature of the Commissary or Assistant Commissary of Musters, as follows :
" Discharged by virtue of re-enlistment as a Veteran Volunteer, under the provisions of
General Orders, No. 191, series of 1863, from the War Department."
Re-enlistments and Re-musters.
3. Simultaneously with the muster-out and discharge, but of the date next following
it, the Veteran Volunteers will be formally re-mustered into the United States service
"for three years or during the war." This will be done on the prescribed muster-in
rolls (muster and descriptive rolls of recruits). These rolls will be made out from the
re-enlistments and descriptive lists of the men. (See section 4 of this paragraph). The
following remark will be made on the muster-in rolls, over the signature of the Com-
missary or Assistant Commissary of Musters : ■ Re-mustered as Veteran Volunteers,
under G. O., 191, War Department, series of 1863."
4. Regimental Commanders, under the direction of Commanders of Brigades, will
select, and appoint a recruiting officer for their respective commands, and charge him

($tMV%\ 0X&tt$f I War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 366. ) Washington, November 13, 1863.
The following revised order is published for the guidance of Mustering and Disburs-
ing Officers in relation to their expenditures from the appropriation for u collecting,
drilling, and organizing volunteers," and all previous orders or regulations conflicting
therewith are hereby revoked :
I. — In organizing new regiments of volunteers — or companies, if they are independent
ones — the necessary transportation, as well as subsistence of the recruits, prior to the
completion of the organization, will be chargeable against the appropriation for " col-
lecting, drilling, and organizing volunteers ;■" or, should a regiment fail to complete its
organization, until the recruits for the said regiment are transferred to or consolidated
with another organization. After the organization of the regiments is complete, and
they have been inspected by the Mustering Officer for the State or District, transporta-
tion will be provided by the Quartermaster's Department, and subsistence by the Sub-
sistence Department.
II. — All passes for transportation by railroad will fully explain, in the case of officers,
the necessity for the journey and the nature of the service ; in the case of enlisted men,
the number of recruits, their company and regiment, and whether prior or subsequent
to muster-in of the organization to which the recruits belong; or, if the recruits be for
an old organization, whether prior or subsequent to the muster-in of the recruits them-
selves. A complete statement of these facts is necessary to settle satisfactorily the ac-
counts of railroad companies.
III. — The certificate to all vouchers for transportation by private conveyance must
state that the prices charged were the current rates of the place where the expense was
incurred; also, that transportation by railroad or steamboat could not be obtained.
The vouchers must be approved by the Superintendent of the Volunteer Recruiting Ser-
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 625
vice, or Chief Mustering and Disbursing Officer of the District, and show that the expen-
diture was incurred for recruits of old organizations prior to muster, or of new regiments
prior to complete organization, or for officers and enlisted men traveling under orders
on the recruiting service, after having been assigned to duty by the Superintendent.
The number of men, their company and regiment, the number of miles traveled, and
rate per mile, will, in each case, be specified, as in passes for'railroad transportation.
IV. — Subsistence for recruiting parties detailed from regiments in the field, and for
recruits of regiments already organized, will be provided by the Subsistence Depart-
ment.
V. — Recruiting parties and recruits, both of old and newT organizations, will be
quartered at the rendezvous, if possible ; but when convenience and economy require it,
a contract for lodgings may be made by the Superintendent, or the Chief Mustering and
Disbursing Officer of the District, not to exceed 12 cents per night for each man. The
rent of rendezvous recruiting offices, and accounts for lodgings, will be paid from the
appropriation for " collecting, drilling, and organizing volunteers," when approved by
the Superintendent, but not otherwise.
VI. — Subsistence for new organizations, as specified in Par. I. of this order, will be
furnished under contracts made by, or under the direction of, the Superintendents, subject
to the approval of the Provost Marshal General.
VII. — All vouchers for subsistence will be accompanied by an abstract of issues, (see
Forms 17, Subsistence Department, Army Regulations of 1861, and 19, of Army Regula-
tions, 1863,) certified by the officer ordering the issues. In the column of remarks, the
company and regiment to which the recruits belong will be stated. The vouchers will
specify the date of contract, by whom made and approved, and be supported by a certi-
ficate of the Superintendent or Disbursing Officer ordering the issues, that the expense
was necessary for the public service for troops raised for the United States; that the
recruits charged for were present at the time the orders for rations were signed, accord-
ing to the morning report of the officer in charge; that they were actually enlisted prior
to the date charged for ; and that the regimental organization was not complete at the
date of the account.
VIII. — All Disbursing Officers authorized to purchase public property from the appro-
priation for " collecting, drilling, and organizuig volunteers," will be held strictly ac-
countable for every article purchased, and the property must be accounted for as required
by Pars. 962 and 1040, Army Regulations of 1861, in order that the accounts may pass
to the credit of the officer making the purchases.
IX. — In addition to knives, forks, tin plates, and tin cups, authorized in General
Orders, No. 70, of 1861, spoons will be allowed to volunteers.
X. — Superintendents of the Volunteer Recruiting Service, and Chief Mustering and
Disbursing Officers, will, in future, be more careful in their instructions to recruiting
officers under their direction, as it is believed that a large amount of money has been
improperly expended by them in good faith, and through ignorance of the Regulations,
which cannot be reimbursed. It should be understood that they have no right to incur
expense without proper authority, and no authority to expend money on account of the
United States for recruits in their charge, except in cases of extreme emergency, when,
the vouchers therefor should fully explain the necessity, be approved by the Superin-
tendent, and presented for payment before the recruiting officer leaves the State.
Advance bounties and premiums will, under no circumstances, be paid by recruiting
officers.
XI.— All expenses incurred on account of recruits (hereafter enlisted by recruiting
officers, either for old or new regiments,) who shall be rejected, after medical inspection,
for obvious disability existing at the time of their enlistment, will be charged on the
muster-in roll, opposite the name of the officer enlisting them, and stopped from any
pay which may thereafter be due him from the Government.
XII. — Returns of property in charge of recruiting officers should be forwarded
monthly to the Superintendent or Chief Mustering and Disbursing Officer of the Dis-
trict for examination and approval, and transmitted by them to the Provost Marshal
General, as soon as jjracticable, after the expiration of the month for which they may
be due.
XIII.— All vouchers for commutation of quarters and fuel of recruiting officers, dfr

tailed in accordance with General Orders, Nos. 105, of 1861, and 8, of 1862, must be
accompanied — 1st, by a certified copy of the original order detailing them ; 2nd, by the
order of the Superintendent assigning them to duty, or his certificate that they have
been so assigned ; also a copy of the order relieving them from duty, (with the final
accounts.) The certificates prescribed in Form 21, Quartermaster's Department, Army
Regulations, must in all cases be signed by the proper officers, or the accounts will not
be allowed.

E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant General
(&CftCX%X (§X&£X$t \ War Dep't, Adjutant General's Office,
No. 371. ) Washington, November 18, 18G3.
I. — Before a General Court Martial, which assembled in the city of Washington, Sep-
tember 29, 1863, pursuant to War Department Special Orders, Nos. 390, 399, 422, and
434, of 1863, was arraigned and tried —
William T. Smithson.
Charge I. — " Holding correspondence with the enemy, in violation of the 57th
Article of War."
Specification 1st — "In this; that the said William T. Smithson did, at Washington,
in the District of Columbia, on or about the 12th day of December, 1861, under the as-
sumed and fictitious name of Charles R. Cables, write to a person in the service of the
rebel government, and an enemy of the United States, a letter in the following word'"
and figures, to wit :
'Dec'r 12th, '61.
4 My Dear Col. :
' I wrote you last week; hope you recVl my letter. I received your little note, and
also the letter for our friend in B ; handed it to her. You had better direct all your
letters, &c, under an envelope to Charles II. Cables — I mean all you intend for me;
heretofore, they have reached me in rather a loose way. We can learn little or nothing
GENERAL ORDERS, 1863. 635
about the intended movements of McClellan's army across the river. I believe the fel-
low is a coward, and will never attack you without he is forced to do it. I would like
to see you rush down upon him, if you think it safe or best to do so. I think you could
drive them back to their forts with ease, and with great advantage to the cause you are
fighting for; but you know what is best. I have an important fact for you, and it is
important that you look to it promptly. Johnson, of Tennessee, is here, and he has a
devil in him as large as an ox. He is entering into arrangements with the President and
Cabinet to furnish him with large sums of money, to be used in the employment of men
to go to Tennessee and Kentucky to burn bridges and mills, and machine-shops, and
such like. These devils have .determined to destroy every vestige of property, and to
take the life of every citizen in Tennessee, rather than not succeed with their fiendish
purposes. Two meaner and viler devils never lived than Johnson and Etheridge. They
are concocting all sorts of plans to get possession of Tennessee. Watch these devils
closely. The Cabinet will give them any amount of money to enable them to carry out
their plans. I send you a pamphlet touching up McClellan ; read it, it is rich ; it will
give you some incite also to matters and things as they are viewed by such men as the
author — Ellet. Shall I continue to look after and supply our friend in B ? Ex-
penses fall heavily upon me in my present embarrassed condition. Everything I have,
after paying my debts, is at the command of those you represent. If you should fail to
succeed, I don't wish to live any longer. I have given our friend in B the money
to buy the books you write for. My God ! how I would rejoice to see you and your
army in this city soon ; come ahead, I believe you can get here.
' Etheridge has gone to Kentucky to employ men to engage in bridge-burning on a
large scale ; look to this matter all over the South, particularly in Ten., Ky., and Va. I
saw our friend in B last night ; all pretty well. Miss Lilly M. is dead ; died yesterday
with the typhoid fever. O, how sorry I am ! what a nice, intelligent, sweet girl she was.
She was as true as steel. The family are in deep distress, and also in great jDecuniary
need ; wish I was able to aid them ; they ought to be cared for by Lilly's friend to some
extent. I write in haste. I have already written you touching money matters ; let me
know if my letters reach you. I suppose you receive our papers regularly. Troops con-
tinue to come in, and how strange it is — no inducement in the world but the small pay
they receive ; with the officers it is different — they go in for plunder, &c. What a set
of rogues they are ; watch all the time.
CHARLES R. CABLES.
' 13th just ree'd; letter from friend in B .
And did, at or near said Washington, at or about the time last aforesaid, forward, by a
vessel on the Potomac river, the said letter above set forth, enclosed in an envelope ad-
dressed in cypher, as follows : Col. _J L fT, with the intent that the said letter should
be delivered to a person in the service of the rebel government, and an enemy of the
United States."

Washington, in the District of Columbia, on or about the 14th day of December, 1861,

vice of the rebel government, and an enemy of the United States, a letter in the following
words and figures, to wit :
' My Dear Col. : Dec'r. 14, '61.
' I have just ree'd your letter of the 7th instant ; glad to hear from you ; handed the
letter enclosing $20 to our friend in B . In your letters referring to our friend,
only use the letter B , in B . I wrote you last week, enclosing a letter from
our friend in prison ; hope you ree'd it. I observe what you say respecting an advance ;
will attend to the matter promptly. I send along with this a number of letters ; please
forward them. Troops are still going over the river — three thousand cavalry went over
yesterday. Be sure to look after bridge-burners in Ten., Ky., and Va.
' Etheridge, of Ten., is gone to Ky. to arrange for burning bridges, mills, machine-
shops, &c, &c. Large sums of money will be expended by this Government in such
work. What are you doing touching such work? Something ought to be done in this
direction at once. We have no news of interest here to-day. The weather is very fine.
We have some mean men here, who have large possessions in the South, whose names I
will give you by-and-by. I write in much haste, to be in time for the messenger. My
love to you all. I have something nice for your chief, which I will send soon — for Gen.
Beauregard. Truly, CHARLES R. CABLES.'

Specification 1st — "In this ; that the said William T. Smithson did, at Washington, in
the District of Columbia, on or about the 12th day of December, 1861, under the assumed
and fictitious name of Charles R. Cables, write to a person in the service of the rebel
government, and an enemy of the United States, a letter in the following words and
figures, to wit :
'My Dear Col. : Dec'r 12th, '61.
' I wrote you last week ; hope you ree'd my letter. I received your little note, and
also the letter for our friend in B ; handed it to her. You had better direct all
your letters, &c, under an envelope to Charles R. Cables — I mean all you intend for me ;
heretofore, they have reached me in rather a loose way. We can learn little or nothing
about the intended movements of McClellan's army across the river. I believe the fel-
low is a coward, and will never attack you without he is forced to do it. I would like
to see you rush down upon him, if you think it safe or best to do so. I think you could
drive them b;>ck to their forts with ease, and with great advantage to the cause you are
fighting for ; but you know what is best. I have an important fact for you, and it is im-
portant that you look to it promptly. Johnson, of Tennessee, is here, and he has a devil
in. him as large as an ox. He is entering into arrangements with the President and
Cabinet to furnish him with large sums of money, to be used in the employment of men
to go to Tennessee and Kentucky to burn bridges and mills, and machine-shops, and
such like. These devils have determined to destroy every vestige of property, and to
take the life of every citizen in Tennessee, rather than not succeed with their fiendish pur-
poses. Two meaner and viler devils never lived than Johnson and Etheridge. They are
concocting all sorts of plans to get possession of Tennessee. Watch these devils closely.
The Cabinet, will give them any amount of money to enable them to carry out their plans.
I send you a pamphlet touching up McClellan ; read it, it is rich ; it will give you some in-
cite also to matters and things as they are viewed by. such men as the author — Ellet. Shall
I continue to look after and supply our friend in B t Expenses fall heavily upon me
in my present embarrassed condition. Everything I have, after paying my delts, is at the
command of those you represent. If you should fail to succeed, I don't wish to live any
longer. I have given our friend in B the money to buy the books you wrote for.
My God ! how I would rejoice to see you and your army in this city soon ; come ahead,
I believe you can get here.
4 Etheridge has gone to Kentucky to employ men to engage in bridge-burning on a
large scale ; look to this matter all over the South, particularly in Ten., Ky.. and Va. I
saw our friend in B last night ; all pretty well. Miss Lilly M. is dead ; died
yesterday with the typhoid fever. O, how sorry I am ! what a nice, intelligent, sweet girl
she was. She was as true as steel. The family are in deep distress, and also in great pe-
cuniary need ; wish I was able to aid them; they ought to be cared for by Lilly's friend
to some extent. I write in haste. I have already written you touching money matters ;
let me know if my letters reach you. I suppose you receive our papers regularly.
Troops continue to come in, and how strange it is — no inducement in the world but the
small pay they receive; with the officers it is different — they go in for plunder, &c.
What a set of rogues they are ; watch all the time. CHARLES R. CABLES.

friend in prison; hope you rec'd it. I observe what you say respecting an advance;
will attend to the matter promptly. I send along with this a number of letters ; please
forward them. Troops are still going over the river — three thousand cavalry went over
yesterday. Be sure to look after bridge-burners in Ten., Ky., and Va. Eiheridge, of
Ten., is gone to Ky. to arrange for burning' bridges, mills, machine-shops, &c. &c.
Large sums of money will be expended by this Government in such work. What are
you doing touching such work ? Something ought to be done in this direction at once.
We have no news of interest here to-day. The weather is very tine. We have some
mean men here, who have large possessions in the South, whose names I will give you by-
and-by. I write in much haste, to be in time for the messenger. My love to you all. I
have something nice for your chief, which I will send soon — for Gen. Beauregard.

GENERAL ORDERS, 18G3. 685
War Department,
Washington City, November 30, 1863.
II. — In the case of Colonel James Belger, Chief Quartermaster at Baltimore, wlio was
tried before a Court Martial upon sundry charges and specifications for neglect of duty
and fraudulent conduct in t he hiring of transports and purchase of supplies, the Court
found him, on each charge and specification, not guilty. But the Court places upon the
record, by way of explanation of their finding, the following statement :
" The Court finds that Colonel Belger transacted a large amount of public business,
within the time embraced in the specifications, in the chartering of vessels and in the
purchase of coal ; and although in some instances he appears to have purchased coal
at higher rates than the cash market prices, yet, considering the circumstances, espe-
cially the kind of funds provided by the Government for the payments he was required
to make, the urgency of the orders under which he was frequently called upon to act,
and the consequent necessity for immediate action, the Court attaches no criminality
thereto, and has therefore made its findings in accordance with this judgment."
Upon a review of the evidence it appears —
1. That the " large amount of business transacted in the chartering of vessels and in
the purchase of coal" was for nearly a year confined exclusively to dealings with A. C. Hall
and Coblens. It does not appear that during all this time Colonel Belger deemed the
amount of duty assigned to him so great as to compel him to ask to be relieved from
any portion, or for another officer to assist him — one or the other of which it was in-
cumbent upon him to require if the duties were too arduous or extensive to admit of
their proper performance by him alone.
2. The " some instances" in which u he appears" to have purchased coal at " higher
rates than the cash market prices," are the transactions of a year, amounting to an aggre-
gate of more than $100,000, in which, in "some instances," he is proved to have paid
A. C. Hall or Coblens 40 and 50 per cent, more than Hall or Coblens paid for the coal
to coal dealers of the same city, who delivered it on board Government vessels by Hair's
or Coblens' orders.
3. " The kind of money provided by the Government for the payments he was required
to make" is not in proof. No testimony whatever was offered, or official papers sub-
mitted, which show that Colonel Belger was not provided with the same kind of funds
paid by all other quartermasters — Treasury notes and certificates of indebtedness. As-
suming that he had only certificates of indebtedness, and that certificates were at all
times at the greatest discount mentioned by the witnesses at any time, and Colonel
Belger's purchases will still be at rates unaccountably high.
4. As to " the urgency of the orders under which he was frequently called upon to
act," it may be said generally that throughout the testimony there appears no emergency
so pressing as to have precluded a strict conformity with the regulations of the service
in making any purchase or contract in which he was called upon to enter for the Gov-
ernment. Every officer is bound to exercise diligence, and at least ordinary care and
prudence in his purchases, and it is haid to conceive how Colonel Belger, stationed in
Baltimore, could be ignorant that lie was paying higher than the cash market rates, or
how he could procure articles urgently needed from his favored dealers more speedily
than from the same persons who supplied them and hauled the coal from their yards to
the vessels.
The record thus shows that the accused was guilty of chartering vessels and purchas-
ing coal " at higher rates than the cash market price." The excuse suggested by the
Court Martial is unsupported by proof. The transports and supplies purchased by Col-
onel Belger must have been paid lor in the Government funds, to wit : Treasury notes, or,
at the option of the creditor, in certiticates of indebtedness. These funds have long been
the standard of prices, and the only excuse suggested is indicative of the guilty nature
of the transactions between the uQartermaster and the contractors. The Court Martial
having found that the accused did charter vessels and purchase coal u at rates higher
than the cash market prices," and there being no other excuse proven or suggested than
those mentioned, the Court has, upon the record, practically negatived its finding on
the charge and specifications.
The case might have been sent back to the Court for revision, but the nature of the
excuses suggested by the Court Martial, and especially their declaration that " they
attach no criminality" to the conduct of a Quartermaster under the circumstances in
proof, indicate very clearly that, so far as concerned the action of the Court, the result
would have remained the same. The evidence fully establishes the fact of dealings and
68G GENERAL ORDERS, 1863.
transactions by the Quartermaster in which the Government%sufTered loss by purchases
and charters at " higher rates than the cash market price.'1 His conduct is, in the opin-
ion of this Department, without necessity, justification, or excuse, and to such conduct
the Department attaches a high degree of criminality. Few things can be more culpable
than for a public officer systematically to pay to certain favored parties higher rates for
supplies than might be and are, in fact, furnished at greatly lower rates in the same city
by other dealers. To say the least of such conduct, it is a gross negligence that amounts
to fraud.
The statement by the Court of the facts found being in conflict with the formal find-
ing on the charges makes the proceedings a nullity. The evidence fully establishes that
Colonel Belger is guiity of gross neglect and violation of duty, to the prejudice of good
order and military discipline. The proceedings of the Court are therefore disapproved,
and Colonel Belger, Quartermaster, is, by order of the President, dishonorably dismissed
from the United States service.
