CAPTIONS OF MUSTER-ROLLS. 1. The caption of rolls will embrace the name of the captain or permanent commander and letter of the company; the number of the regiment, the State to which it belongs, whether mounted or foot, volunteers or militia; the name of the colonel or permanent commanding officer; by whom, and under what act of Congress, it was called into service; where and when enrolled, and the term to be served; by whom, where, and when, or in what month, the company was organized; and (with the exceptions shown in the forms below) when it arrived at the general rendezvous, and the distance between that and the place of organization; and when discharged. The muster-rolls for payment will show the time for which the muster is made, as the first one from date of enrolment, and subsequent ones from the time the company was last paid (without regard to any intermediate muster) to the time the new muster is to be made-generally for two months-but more or less according to circumstances. 2. The following is the purport of the captions for the several kinds of musters which may occur: 3. The words and figures between brackets [ ] throughout are inserted to make the meaning of the caption and remarks clear; the appropriate ones will be used on the rolls. No. 1.-FOR MUSTER INTO SERVICE. 4. Muster-roll of Captain [John Smith's] company [A] in the [1st] regiment of [Maryland] mounted (or foot) volunteers, commanded by Colonel [Thomas Tod,] called into the service of the United States by [the President,] under the act of Congress approved [July 22, 1861,] at [Baltimore, Maryland,] (the place of general rendezvous,) on the [25th] day of [July, 1861,] to serve for the term of [three years or during the war] (or for twelve months) from the date of enrolment, unless sooner discharged. The company was organized by Captain [John Smith,] at [Cumberland,] in the month of [July, 1861,] and marched thence to [Baltimore,] where it arrived the [25th] day of [July,] a distance of [one hundred and twenty-five] miles. No. 2.-FOR FIRST PERIODICAL PAYMENT. 5. The same as No. 1 to the words sooner discharged-from the [25th] day of [July, 1861,] when enrolled, to the [31st] day of [October, 1861.] The company was organized by Captain [John Smith,] at [Cumberland,] in the month of [July, 1861,] and marched thence to [Baltimore,] where it arrived the [25th] day of [July,] a distance of [one hundred and twentyfive] miles.

The distance from Cumberland (the home of the com pany) to Baltimore, 125 miles, will, or should be, paid for on the first periodical muster, and need not, therefore, be continued on any subsequent rolls.

No. 4.-FOR DISCHARGE AFTER ONE OR MORE PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. 8. The same as No. 1 to the words sooner discharged-from the [29th] day of [February, 1862,] when last paid, to the [4th] day of [July, 1862,] when discharged.

The same as No. 1 to the words sooner discharged—from the [25th] day of [July, 1861,] when enrolled, to the [4th] day of [July, 1862,] when discharged. The company was organized by Captain [John Smith,] at [Cumberland,] in the month of [July, 1861,] and marched thence to [Baltimore,] where it arrived the [25th] day of [July,] a distance of [one hundred and twenty-five] miles. 10. If the blank muster-rolls, furnished for use, do not contain all that is directed above, in each case, they will be altered by the required additions in writing. The words when discharged must be written, if not there already, next after the last date of the term, to which the muster is to be made, on all rolls for that purpose. 11.
