sent from their 1uty with the various Divis-
ions of this army. Some of them have gone

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 Botoriously 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.
l. All officers and soldiers who are alb
sent without direct authority from these
Headquarters, the period for which has not
transpired, will, on or before the 10th of

iments wherever they may be. If ignorant
OF their locality, they will report to the COM
n,anding officer at Louisville or Nashville,
by whom they will be directed totheir repi-
menis, or pnt 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 regimeutal
commanders by the officer so assigning
them. 81 14ff su -r sr14- h g7f
