GENERAL ORDERS, 'i 'WAR DEPARTMENT,

V Adjutant General’s Office,

No. 180. ) Washington, June 17, 1863.

The proceedings of the General Court Martial, convened at Camp
Montgomery, Mississippi, on the 10th day of September, 1862, by
virtue of General Orders, No. 22, dated September 8, 1862, Head¬
quarters 2d Division, and before which was tried Lieutenant William
Ambrose, of Company “G,” 22d Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, have
been submitted to the Secretary of War.

The accused was tried for drunkenness on duty, convicted, and
sentenced to be dismissed the service. The testimony clearly shows
that the findings were correct and the sentence just, but the record is
fatally defective in not showing that the Judge Advocate was swoni,
or that the case was reviewed, or the findings and sentence approved
by the oflicer ordering the court.

The President, however, directs that Lieutenant William Ambrose,
22d Ohio Volunteers, be dismissed the service; and he accordingly
ceases to be an officer of the United States Army from the 15th day
of June, 1863.

By order of the Secretary of War:

E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant General.
