directed in General Orders No. So, A. & l. Gen.

l5t ot January, until the orders Of the War De
partneut can be fully ascertained.
The Commanding General states that he feels
impcrativcly obliged by the public interest to
lake this course in consideration Of the short
term Of service for which the Reserve Regi-
ments of this State have been received into ser.
vice, and the confusion that must inevitably en-.
sue from any change in otScers at this impor.
tant juncture, when n descent on the coast, and
attack on the city of Charleston are Impending,
and in view of the further fact that those Regi-
ments were mustered in the service of the Con,
