some concern, therefore, that | am In.
formed that your men have been suffered
to fire at a most preposterous distance.
Upon this principle, | must entreat and
Insist that you consider it as a standing
order that not a man under your command
is to fire at greater distance than one
! hundred and fifty yards, at the utmost /;
in short. that they never fire without al
most moral certainty of hitting their OBJ
ject. Distant firing has double bad
etfec;--it encourages the enemy, and adds
to the pernicious persuasion of the Ame-
Iican soldiers, viz: that they are nc match

childish, vicious and scandalous practice.
extend the rule to those who have the
care of field pieces. Four hundred yards
is the greatest distance they should be al

rule will be considered as the effect Of
furry and want of courage. Those who
are accused of transgression wi i be pro-
ceeded against as acting from these prIn-

myself that you will not only issue orders
