GENERAL ORDERS, 
No. 180. 
WAR DEPARTMENT, 
Adjutant General’s Office, 
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 sworn, 
or that the case was reviewed, or the findings and sentence approved 
by the officer 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.
