l. The following order has been received from
the President Of the United States.
" Official reports, received from Florida. show
that several Companies are without officers To
command them. Other reports from 'omman-
ders of the troops in the field, equally show the
destitute condition of the service, OWING TO the
absence Of 50 many platoon officers. The Adnani
General reports that returns required by the arll
Giles of war are delayed, OF forwarded incomplete,
from the uani of company commanders 10 make
and transmit the returns requisite Tor the Colonel
and that there are instances OF discharged soldiers
from the Army in Florida, who, for the like rea-
sons could not obtain the necessary certificates,
nor receive Their arrcaragcS of pay,
3" This condition OF the Army must no longer
be permitted To exist. Duty with troops in the
field should be regarded as paramount to any en-
povmcnt which separates the officer from hi,
men. The public interest and due regard 10 the
wants of the private soldier, alike demand the
presence al all times. Of the proper complement
Of commissioned officers
=" The several Captains and Suba'tcfns who
are not on duty with their companies excepting
only those employed in military service, Proper, or
upon some duty of the pnbiic service, strictly
speaking, will Immediately be ordered to Join their
Regiments.
" Under no circumstances hereafter, must more
Than two officers OF company OF Artillery, or one
from a company of Infantry, be detailed for de-
tached duty al the same time, nor shall any such
details be made, except for military service pro-
PR without the special san ton Of the President
in each case.
The TopoeHphrcal Engineers will be en-
poved with the army in the field, and hereafter
be assigned to duty under the orders OF the proper
commanders ANDREW JACKSON,
President of the United States.
