� before the time proper for military duties commences.

All resignations will be made to the Major General s, who will transmit, such as are approved, to the office of the Adjutant General, that they may be laid before the Commander in chief, for his acceptance and discharge, and no officer will be discharged, but by his order. But in cases of vacancy by removal, or disability, the Major Generals will cause them to be filled up without delay.

The Commander in chief, being apprehensive that the orders affecting the Militia at large, have not, in some instances been sufficiently diffused in all the Divisions; thinks proper to direct, that such orders as are of a general nature, be hereafter distributed to all officers commanding corps, even captains of companies; and that all other orders be distributed, at least so far, as that all who are concerned may know them in a regular manner, and in sufficient season.

By order of the Commander in chief

Wm Donnison, Adjutant General

Att. H. Sewall, D.A.Genl.

General.
