ons, and thus marched back TO camp, and
there turned over to the Provost Marshal.
The commanding officer when his COM
mand shall have passed out will report
the fact to the commander of the Grand
Guard; after which, no one claiming to
belong TO the expedition will be allowed
to pass out. A similar report will be
made on the return of the expedition !;

every halt, and al least three times, be-
sides, in the course of the day.
vi Advance, rear guards, and .fankers
will be thrown out on the march, and
every precaution be taken against sur

videttes and seatyies will be posted in adj
vance of these eutguards; and if there
are woods in the neighborhood, they will
be patrolIed. The main body of the
escort will be distributed in the manner
best calculated to protect the train, and
repel an attack, if attempted. A small
cavalry force should, if possible, form
part of the escort.

UNPUBLISHED. The commanding General
is resolved that the discipline of this
army shall be maintained and to that
end, he will hold all officers accountable
for the conduct of their men. Whenever
any act of piIlage, therefore, or other
outrage is brought home TO particular
regiment or company, and the culprits
are not ferretted out and reported by the
Colonel or Captain, punishment will be
visited on the latter. For it is the duty
Of officers to enforce discipline among
their men, and if they fail to do so, they
fail in the very object for which they
were appointed-are consequently an in
cumbus on the service-and may rest
assured that they will not be permitted
te remain so.
