Holt, First New Jersey Volunteers, dismissed for disobedience of orders. Judge Holt reported that there was room for executive clemency, and Lincoln directed that ``so much of Special Orders, No. 280, August 25th, 1864, as dismissed Captain F. B. Holt, 1st New Jersey Volunteers, is hereby revoked, and he is honorably discharged the service. . . .'' (AGO Special Orders No. 409, November 21, 1864).
