HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE OHIO, I
In Camp, near Florence AIG June I'd, '62
There are $4,000 officers and soldiers ab-
sent from their 4uty with the various Divis-
ions of this army. Some of them have gone
off without any authority 7; others with the
permission of officers not authorized TO
grant it. In general. sickness is given as
the cause of absence, but in very many
cases the cause has notoriously ceased to
exist, and men remain away, drawing the
same pay as their comrades who are faith
fully performing their duty. To correct this
abuse it is ordered
/. All officers and soldiers who are ab-
sent without direct authority from these
Headquarters, the period for which has not
transpired, will, on or before the 10th of
July, proximo, join their companies or reg
iments wherever they may be. Ifignorant
of their locality, they will report TO the COM
manding officer at Louisville or Nashville,
by whom they will be directed to their regi-
ments, or put on such light duty as they
may be able to perform, if they are not en-
tirely fit for active service; and these will
be promptly reported to their regimental
commanders by the officer so assigning
them.
The cases of those who fail to join as
above required, will be disposed of as fol-
lows:
