Headqr's Virginia Forces.
General Orders No. 9. Commanding and Mustering Officers will not permit requisitions from officers under their authority, for arms and ammunition, to be sent direct to the Headquarters of the Virginia Forces. Such requisitions, in all cases, must pass through them for their approval. The will satisfy themselves that the arms and ammunition called for are absolutely necessary, and state the fact on the requisition; and will see that the requisition itself specifies accurately the quantity, description and calibre of such arms and ammunition, as well as of those on hand: and whether their arms are rifled or not. No requisition can be filled unless these facts are known. At present, there are only smooth-bore muskets in the Armory for issue.
