into the service.
XII. The proper officers Of the Staff Departments
Of the United States will be Immediately sent to the
place of rendezvous with funds to defay the neces-
sary expenses which may be incurred, agreeably to
law.
XIV. II will be recollected that under the genera
orders Of last year the companies composing the three
regiments then raised in Indiana. were accepted IN
The order in arhich they reported and that after
thirty companies had been accepted, divers other
companies were reported, whose services the CON-
mander-in-chief was, with great regret compelled
decline, for the that the limited number called
for by the United States had already been supplied.
BY the 9th article of the 9th general order, dated
June To- 1916, il stated that, shouId the honor
or interests Of the country occasion another and sim
liar call the citizen soldiers of Indiana the
panles subsequently reported will be entitled 10 the
preference, should they still desire it," To enable
all such companies to avail themselves of such pre-
ference, this General Order, with the Executive Pro-
clamaton, will be transmitted by mail to the CON-
mandants thereof, who not known to be absent.
In of their absence, it will be transmitted to
some public spirited citizen Of the proper county,
who is hereby requested to place the same in the
hands of the highest officer of the company who may
be found willing to engage in tue service. Should
any Of the men who attached themselves TO the COM
pany last year be absent decline to engage in the
service, it will of course be allowable, to ill their
places with fresh recruits.
XIV. The companies referred to in the next pre-
cedng section DESTROYS of engaging in the service,
will be received the order in phich they were re-
ported last gear, if they reported within
sonable time, otherwise others, and even fresh
companies may be allowed the preference.
XVI. 1t very desirable therefore that the UNDER
signed be informed forthwith, on behalf of any COM
pany formerly reported of the receipt of this Gene
raj Order, and of the probability of such company
being filed and reported and at what probable time.
XVII. A supplemental order will be shortly issued,
recommending suitable uniform, and of what kind,
(the procuring Of which, however, had better be
deferred until the company arrives at the place of
rendezvous) with such other particulars as may be
deemed important for the efficiency and welfare Of the
volunteers.
The Commander-n-Chiefc ntertains the fullest con-
dence, that the feelings of patriotism natural to the
bosom of every American, and the superior induce
ments now held out 10 the citizen soldiers of Indiana,
over those which were extended to their brethren in
who promptly engaged in the service last year,
will cause them to seize with alacry the present
cason, (most probably the last that will be offered
them during the present war; of raying to the STAN
dard of their country, and of nobly distinguishing
themselves in its service.
By order Of the Governor and Commander in Chief:
d. REYNOLDS, Adj't General
Indiana Militia.
