int being through a dense thicket of underbrush, and over a hilly, broken country, being a strong position for an enemy, we having learned that the enemy were in ambush in a strong position, the night being very dark, it was considered a post of great danger to lead the advance.

The second article of war earnestly recommends all officers and soldiers diligently to attend divine service, and attaches a penalty for irreverent behavior while at the place of worship. Chaplains will at all times be permitted to visit the camps, quarters, and hospitals within the limits of the commands to which they are attached, to hold free and uninterrupted intercourse with the officers and soldiers off duty.
