have promulgated an order that the teach

doned on making their submission, surren-
dering their arms and placing themselves un-
der the surveillance Of the lawful authority,
provided they have not committed other crimes
since the issuance Of my last proclamation.

shall come in under the same circumstances,
will be Immediately transferred to the en-
campments, forts, towns and in general where
they may be under the immediate vigilance
OF their troops, and all the teachers shall be
under the control of the commandants in
Whatever jurisdiction they may be assigned.
A record OF those so attached to each column,
encampment or fort will be kept and their
superiors will make report every fifteen days
concerning the conduct of the teachers, and
will determine the time at which they will be
permitted to reside in whatever place it may
be deemed advisable to conduct them, placing
them under the supervision of the local au-
thorities or making any other disposition of
them which may be considered proper.
In the meantime they will become perma-
nently attached to the military forces and will
give their attentions to the dying and will
be entitled to such rations as troops in the
field or travelling
