EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT Oh INDIANA, !
ADJUTANr GENERALS OFFIcE,}
indianapolis, May 81, 1865. \
To Commanding Officers of Indiana Regiments
and Batteries:
Your attention is respectfully called to the
accompanying communication from His Excel
lency, Governor Morton. to the Secretary of
War in relation TO the muster in of officers in the
volunteer service from this State, who hold CON-
missions for higher grades but who cannot be
mustered IN upon the same, under the existing
regulations of the service, because their COM
mands are below the minimum. Under the rules
OF promotion adopted by the Governor, January
lst. 1862, all officers of merit belonging to Indi
ana organizations are entitled to promotion in
regular line" upon the recommendation of
their superior officers, without reference to
whether they can be mustered into the higher
grades to which they may be promoted, or not
And now, that the rebellion is practically ended.
and our organizations are about to be honorably
mustered out, it is but simple justice that the
services OF those who have shouldered the respon-
sibilities and discharged the duties pertaining to
the positions to which they would have been
entitled-but for the reduction of their commands
by the casualties of war-shodld be recognized
by the Government by allowing them to be mus
tered in upon the commissions issued TO them for
said higher grades.
1t is confidently believed that the Secretary of
War will take favorable action upon the Gov
errors recommendation: and. in view Of such
action, il is desired that every vacancy in field.
staff and line officers be filled by promotion,
under and in accordance with the rules Of promo
ton heretofore issued from this office
have the honor, therefore. TO request that
you will at once make and forward to this Office
recommendations accordingly. Commissions
will be issued and transmitted without DELAY
BY order OF Governor MoRToN.

swept over some of those islands on the 9th
of last month. In Guadalupe it was particu-
larly severe. Houses we're lifted from the
ground and torn to places and blown in frag-
ments to considerable distance and the air
was filed with the flying debris. In one
town a hospital was blown down and all its
inmates were either killed or wounded Be-

That success has been attained, is greatly
due to the earnest, untiring and judicious Ia
