Morse of the 7th Wisconsin Volunteers who resigned before the order dismissing him. General Orders No. 11 10 January 1863 1p dismissing Colonel R.C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers from the Army "for allowing his command to be surprised at Holly Springs Mississippi without having taken proper steps to protect his post or repulse the enemy and his troops having been found in bed at the time of attack." General Orders No. 211 15 June 1864 1p text of a Congressional resolution "tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red River by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown
