It is hereby ordered: 1st. That Colonel JAMES B. FRY, Assistant Adjutant General U. S. Army, be, and he is hereby, detailed as Provost Marshal General of the United States, in pursuance of section 5 of the

Act approved March 3, 1863, "for enrolling and calling out the National Forces, and for other purposes." He is accordingly authorized and required to perform all the duties of Provost Marshal General set forth in the said Act, and such other duties as may properly pertain to his office.

BY ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR:

GENERAL ORDERS,

No. 69.

WAR DEPARTMENT,

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,

Washington, March 20, 1863.

Paragraph 10 of General Orders No. 36, of 1862, which authorizes the thief medical officer in each city "to employ as cooks, nurses, and attendants any convalescent, wounded, or feeble men, who can perform such duties, instead of giving them discharges," is hereby modified as follows:

At every U. S. General Hospital, the feeble and wounded men, unfit for field duty, but not entirely disabled, instead of being discharged, will be organized and mustered in detachments, under the charge of the officers acting as Military Commanders, who will assign men to them from time to time, on the reports of the surgeons in charge of hospitals. From these Invalid Detachments the Military Commanders will make details for provost, hospital, and other necessary guards; for clerks, hospital attendants, nurses, cooks, and other "extra-duty" men.

The Invalid Detachments will be mustered and reported as detachments, and will be paid on the Detachment Rolls; but no extra pay will be allowed in any case.

The Detachment Rolls must show to what company and regiment each man properly belongs, and all assignments to them must be promptly reported to their company commanders. They are not to be dropped from the rolls of those companies, but will be reported on detached service from them.

Should any of the men become fit for duty with their regiments, they will be immediately sent to join them.

In case of a want of non-commissioned officers to give efficiency to the Invalid Detachments, lance appointments may be made, but without increase of pay.

BY ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR:

GENERAL ORDERS,

No. 72.

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, March 24, 1863.

Commanders of regiments, battalions not included in regiments, independent companies or batteries, and detachments, surgeons in charge of hospitals or detachments, and all persons in the military service commanding or controlling commissioned officers or enlisted men on special or detached service, will report upon the last day of each month to Colonel JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General of the United States, at Washington, D. C., the names of all deserters from their respective commands who have deserted since their last report, or who have not previously been reported. These reports will be made in the form of descriptive lists, setting forth, in case of each deserter, his name, rank, regiment or company, description, place of birth, residence, occupation, place of enlistment, date of last payment, amount of bounty due, date and place of desertion, and the place where he can probably be found, with such other remarks as may be pertinent in the matter, or may aid

in the arrest and punishment of the offender. Where no desertions have taken place during the month, the regular form of descriptive list will be forwarded, and the fact will be noted upon it. The lists will in all cases be made in duplicate: one copy will be forwarded direct to the Provost Marshal General, and the other, through the ordinary military channels, to the Adjutant General, at Washington, who will refer the same to the Provost Marshal General. When lists are rendered by surgeons, one copy will be sent direct to the Provost Marshal General, and the duplicate, through the regular channel, to the Surgeon General, who will refer the same to the Provost Marshal General.
