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 States, \vill be indulged with leave of absence from
their corps for a limited time; and it is absolutely neceffarf
the ftriCteft punctuality Should be observed, in returning at the
expiration of the time for which their furloughs are granted;
the commander in chief has thought proper, thus, early in the
season, to fignify his fixed determination to all'concerned, that
every officer or soldier, who shall absent himfeif beyond the
limitation of his furlough (unless he Shall be prevented from
returning by some inevitable misfortune, or other c^fualty,
which Shall be deemed a fufficient reason for his detention)
Shall for such conduct be brought to trial before the court
martial.^
Upon the return of any officer, who may have violated thia
order, by absenting himfelf beyond the time of his furlough^
report is immediately to be made thereof, to the adjutant-ge
neral, or deputy adjutant-general, who is to represent the
fame to the general or commanding officer, that the necessary
steps may be taken, 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 also to be tried
and punched in the most summary manner, if they will be guil
ty of a crime so injurious to the publick 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 debarred the gratification of vifittog thd f riends
before thq opening of the campaign.

crept round behind a fence, close enough to distinguish 10 or
men „ awa ^ e ' and a numb er of horses tied round the fires.

wounded. A great number who lay about upon the ground
started up, and all dire&ly ran and left their horses, till, after
a few seconds. recollecting themselves, and finding they were
not pursued, they began to approach their old ground, firing
towards the place from whence they had received the firel
