General Order 2 |
| |
| Rail Road Bureau, C. S. A. |
| Head-Quarters, Jackson, Miss., March 23d, 1863 |
| |
| The foregoing General Orders are
re-published for the information of Rail Road officers,
Quartermasters, and other military officers, and it is expected that
all will be governed by them: |
| Ordinarily Government transportation will
not be referred to me, but will be conducted according to the
regulations proscribed in General Orders No. 2. It should be referred to
me for a remedy when Government transportation meets with detention
from any cause whatever. |
| If special dispatch is required, the
Superintendents of connecting roads in the line should have timely
notice of the character and extent of the transportation desired, so
that preparation may be made to avoid delay. ????? any point, shipped by
army quartermasters, will take precedence according to the necessity of
the articles
for going forward. This will be decided by the nearest residing
Quartermaster. |
| As there has been great destruction and
loss of cars resulting from the policy of running them over roads to
which they do not belong, tran-shipment is earnestly recommended. It
is believed that with proper arrangements, transportation will be
facilitated by each road retaining its own rolling stock, and to that
end I desire all to cooperate. |
