GENERAL ORDERS, 
No. 29. 
WAR DEPARTMENT, 
Adjutant General’s Office, 
Washington, March 22, 1862. 
In the changes recently made in the boundaries of Department com- 
mands, it may happen that troops belonging to one Department may 
either be in, or may unavoidably pass into, another. In such a case, 
the troops so situated will continue under the command of the General 
under whose orders they may have been operating. But it is expected 
that they will he withdrawn as soon as the position they may occupy 
comes within the control of the proper Commander of the Depart- 
ment. 
By order of the Secretary of War: 
L. THOMAS, 
Adjutant General. 
Official : 
Assistant Adjutant General.
