DIVISION ORDERS,
Savannah, October 25, 1802.
The Court Martial, of which Major Shad
was Prcfident, ordered for the trial of Lieu
tenant Suck ho ufc, on the charges exhibited
agair.H him by Lt. Col. Mitchell, having
found him guilty of thefirH, third, and fourth
charges— to wit :
*^ r * 1 (1. For unofEcerlike conduct on the eve
r. nr: of the 29th of September Eli, whiifi on’
outv, n breaking open, and taking poficfiion
by military force, of the houle of Mr. Isom
Clay, on Tybee I (land.
3d, For disobedience of orders and on offi
ce] like conduft, in leaving his p.jit from me
1 orning of the 30 th of dtp tern her until hm
detachment was relieved.
4th. For difobeditnee of orders and unoffi
cial ike conducl, on the eleventh inHant, in
not delivering up his iword when arreficd.”
And thereon having sentence ! him to re
ceive a reprimand from the Major-General,
iukl to pay a ium of one hundred and eighty
didais, being equal to fix months pay when
in aft.utl lervice—the M ijor-General con
firms the fen ten ce and dtfiblves the court.
vVhiift however, the Major-General is in
duced to confirm the sentence, he is impelled
to remark that it has been mere indulgent
m.iii Lieutenant ♦Stackhoufe had a right to
expert. The Lieutenant was sent to the fic
tion at Cockfptir, ro protest the citizens and
their property —not to violate their rights and
break open their houses. He was in actual
f'ervice —the country in a date of alarm, no;
.only In s*} in: r along the whole loutiiein
roalt of the United States* Invasion and in
furreftien were expefted, against either of
which the Hate had a right to prated herfelf
u:ml the arm of the Union could be extended
ro her iupporc. In i'uch a situation as this
mr an o metr to leave his poll - tne post oi
1 iONOR as regarded himfelf, and of TRUST
NS it reipefted his country —vv. ; s unpardona
ble. It affeded his commifxlon, if the
oi the law had been pursued—is not his file.
Again, as it refpeds the fourth charge.
The refufal of his sword to the order of tht
dolonel, is a gross v iolation of all military
J'de—the commiiTon is the authority mdr;
which the officer has a light to wear the iword
as such —and the Iword is the security or bail
to the Hate, that the officer will faithfully
perform the trufc reposed in him—if the prin
cipal fails the feeur’ty becomes liable, and the
Jv..iu mult be from the officer charsied
with violating iiis contrasts.
I3;;t the idea of r.n officer’s fvvord being
private property after he receives his com
niiilion is a mutaken one—the conn million is
an exchange for its value—lt belongs folelv
to his country as refpefts its use vvhilft he
holds his commiifion, and may legally and
fin oil be demanded hereafter on all occasions
of arretl, in the firft division, and the officer
refilling Hiall be punished if a Court Martial
will order it—or be confined if the arrelling
cfitcer requires it.
is hoped tliatjthe leniency of the fenter.ee in
the case of Lieut. Stackhoufe will never bt
relied on by any officer on any future occasion.
Lieutenant Stackhoufe Hands highly culpable
in the Major-General's view, and is hcreb)
severely reprimanded, with a hope that u
will be a warning to him in his future milita
ry walks.
1 he Lieutenant will pay into the hand*
efthe proper officer of rhe Chatham Re.ei
ment, the fine of one hundred and eighty dol
lars—being the fc.rtence of the court, within
one month from the dare of this order, and
Hand arreHed until the fame is discharged—
r.o resignation will be accepted—and if the
fame be not paid in one month, the com.
manding officer of the Chatham Regiment
will ifiue his warrant to levy the fame.
This order will be publiihed in or.e of the
Gazettes of this city, for the information of the
o fficers of the Firil Division.
