be in the enemy's country, and our scouts
report quite force of "Yanksn at New
Berlin. Should the enemy be found in
strong position at this point, the column
will leave New Berlin to the left and not
bring on an engagement, and will again
strike the line of the Valley Railway at a

the Yankee forces at New Berlin can be
"gobbled," the commanding general will
see that II is done.

guard we'll the hanks of the column, every
command must be ready for action at
a moments warning. Struggling will not
be tolerated. Stopping to milk cows, hunt
eggs, or firt with young ladies, strictly
prohibited. The men must not even be
allowed to stop and fish in Meyers Lake,
In the Nimishillen or the TuscRrAwas-we
are not fighting IL out on that line. II
is all important that the ntrlct'
est discipline be maintained until
the enemy is ours, and any man showing
cowardlce during action will be made to
swallow quart of tar, IL Il las to be
rAmmed down his throat with q corn
cob.
XI. Surgeons will not be allowed to
stop and extract corns during the march,
