I. It is found that great laxity obtains amongst Company Officers, in furnishing Descriptive Lists of the men sent to the Hospital, so that there is great embarrassment in paying such soldiers.

It is therefore ordered that each Commandant of a Company, having a man in the Hospital in this Department, shall forthwith furnish each man, not so furnished, with proper Descriptive Lists, and the pay of any man not so furnished and properly entered upon the pay-roll of his company, shall be stopped from the pay of the Commanding Officer of his company, whose duty it was to furnish such lists.

II. All rolls of the muster for payment, of the 31st of August, will be forwarded to the office of the Senior Paymaster, Major Usher, within forty-eight hours after the receipt of this order.
