charge Of men in the field Of battle In view
Of the very limited opportunities the people
at large in the United States hare had for In:
acqpMement Of a Thorough military education.
1t follows necessarily that some school Of In
str9ction must be adopted to remedy this
omission. As one step toward this the Com

mand Of Col Marshal, an officer Of large expo
ntnce in tbe United States army, and Lieut.

the Commanding General to make the regi
ment fchool Of instruction from which cau
be drawn. as the eXigencies OF the service de
maid, officers for the field and for companies
Expecting that this reg iment will be used 70,
