AS it is expected, that in the course of the present
winter, many of the officers and men belonging
to the army of the United Sates, will be indulged with
leave of absence from their corps for a limited time ;
and as itis absolutely necessary the ftridellpunftualliiy
should be nbferved, in returning at the expiration of the
time for which their furloughs are granted; the com
mander in chief has thought proper, thus, early in the
season, to fignify his fixed determination toall concern
ed, that every officer or soldier, who shall absent him
felf beyond the limitation of his furlough (unless be
shall be prevented from returning by some inevitable
misfortune, or other casualty, which shall be deemed
a Sufficient season for his detention) shall for such con
duft be brought to trial before a court-martial.
Upon the return of any officer, who may have vio
lated this order, by absenting himfelf beyond tie time
of his furlough,report is immediately to be made there
of, to the adjutant general or deputy adjutant general,
who is to represent the fame to the general or com
manding officer, that the necessary fleps may be tak
en, without delay. The mode of proceeding against
absent officers, as pointed out by a resolution of Con
gress, is to be invariably pursued. Soldiers are al 0
to be tried and punished in the most summary manner,
if they will be guilty of a crime so injurious to the
public service, as well as to the interests and feelings of
their brother soldiers, who may, in consequence of the
long absence of such delinquents, be unavoidably de
bared the gratification of visiting their friends before
the opening of the campaign.
The general, however, cannot but hope, by taking
the precaution of causing this public notice of his in
tention to be given to the army, the disagreeable con
sequences will be prevented, which might otherwise have
taKen place ; for he is persuaded, whoever willgive him
felf the trouble to reflect, will find, that, as great in
dulgences as are consistent with the public good, and
justice to individuals, are granted in the firft infiance.
That, as a certain number of officers and men muff be
cnflantly kept in camp, every trespass upon those in
dulgences, is an a& of injustice to the individual who
is detained in consequence of it, and probably in the
issue to the public; that the mod pointed exadnefs is
indifpenfibly requisite in all military affairs, events un
known, and frequently of the greatest magnitude, de
pending upon it ; and that those men who have attach
ed themselves to the service of their country, Should
consider that the public has a Conflant claim upon their
services, which can only be dispensed with under cer
tain circumstances, and for definite periods, of which,
those intruded with the regulation of the army must
be supposed to be the most competent judges.
No officer or soldier is to be permitted to be absent
on furlough after the 10th day of April next, ona
ny occasion whatever.
The musters of the army are with all possible expe
dition, to be compleated to the thirty firfl day of
December last inclusive; after which period they are
to be taken regularly at the end of every month, and
the rolls transmitted to the pay office without delay,
agreeable to a resolution of Congress, of September
25, 1780. EDWARD HAND, Brigadier
