States Army, are as follows:
The cap now worn is supperseded
by felt hat with brim 81 inches wide
and crown St inches high, bound with
ribbed silk for officers, and double stitch
ID around the brim for privates. The
trimmings for general officers are: Gold
cord with acorn-shaped ends, the brim
OF the hat looped up on the right side
and fastened with an eagle attached ia
the side of the hat three black ostrich
feathers on the left side, and a gold
embroidered wreath in front, on black
velvet ground, encircling the letters U.

and for privatcs, there are similar
trimmings varying slightly for each dis

also extends to the pantaloons and coat;
but in respect to them it is confined to
the trimmings Of the latter, and the
stripe of the former. Sibley's tent is
also to be established for that now in
use.
