EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ORDER.

Head-quarters before Sebastopol; Aug. 20, 1855.
No. 1. The great want of consideration shown bj
officers and other persons attached to this army in visit-
ing the scene of a recent action, and plundering the dead,
or purchasing plunder from others, has been the subject
of grave remonstrance on the part of our allies. All
property whatever on the field belongs to the victorious
nation ; to appropriate anything is dishonest—to pur-
chase from those who have done so is to encourage their
dishonesty, and to share their guilt. The commander
of the forces hopes that this caution will be sufficient to
deter those to whom it is addressed from a repetition of
such thoughtless conduct. Followers of the army are
reminded that they are amenable to its rules and diseip.
