Immediately after any engagement with the
mander to forward to these headquarters, for
publication in orders, the names Of those Off
Gers and priyates Of his regiment who si,all
hare most distinguished themselves. as well
as those Who have misbchaved or abandoned
their colors on the field of battle. Regiments
whose gallantTy and bravery shall have been
most conspicuous, will be allowed to inscribe
on their banners the name OF the batt}e. field
IN Which they were engaged, 'but regiments
nl.sbehayins in action wilt be deprived Of thcir
colcrs until they may have shown themselves
worthy OF defending them.
From Il the difficulty Of communicating Or
oers IN the country in which we are operatinr.
1t is necessary that each division, brigade and
resimental commander should clearly under
stand that, when without orders, or ut q loss
to know what to do in action, thew
must rapidly advance in the direction Of the
fFhyf Fin. x~F-
concentration Of masses. Moreover. orr
motto should be, Forward, and always for
ward! T. until victory may. perch decisiyely
upon our banners. The more rapid the attack
the wcaker, llabitually, the resistance.
