T HB discipline and efficiency of the aryny have been greatly impaired by men leaving their proper commands to join others, in which they find servico uore agree able This practice almost as injurious-in its consequences as the crime of desertion, by the Articles of .War, exposes the offender to a sinillar punishment, and subjects the offi. cer receiving him to dismipsal from the army. It is t herefore declared that the provisions of General Orders No. 2, of this date, from army headquarters, apply to such men as have left tiu i' proper commands and joined others without. being regularly transferred. They -will receive the pardon promised in that order upont complying with its condi tions, or suffer the consequences attached to neglecting it. The names of such absentees will be forthwith reported to these headrfuarters by the oflicers with whom they are serving, and immediate measures taken to return them to their proper commands. As soon as practicable an inspection will lie imade, and charges will .be preferred against those who neglect. to enforce this order. mch 23'65-6 R. E. LEE, General. H dq'rs Arnales of lie C. Stales, 11th FRnaUA,4Y, 1865. OFxr.A Onnius, . No 2.- 1 IN entering upon the campaign about to open, the General-in Chief feels assur' ed that the soldiers who have so long and so nobly borne the hardships and dangers of the war, require no exhortation to respond to the calls of honor and duty. With the liberty transmitted by their fore. fathers they have inherited the spirit to do fend it.. The choice betreen war and abject sub mission is before them. To such a proposal brave men with arms in their hands can have but one answer. Thjey .cannot 'barter manhood for peace, nor the right of self-government for life or property. But justice to then reqiires a sterner ad monition to those who have abandoned their courades in the hour of peril. - A last. opportunity is ofered them to wipo out the disgrace and escape the punishment of their crimes. By authority of the President of the Con federate States, a parden is announced to such deserters and men improperly absent, as shall return to the commands to which they belong within the spjo'test possible time, not exceeding twenty days from the publication of this order at the headquar ters of the department in which they% may be. Those who amay be prevented by inter ruption of- communications, may. report within the time specified to the nearest En rolling Officer or other officer on duty, to be fowarded as soon as. practicable, an( upon presenting a certificate froma such officer showing compliance with 'his roqu4rement, will receive tihe pardon. hereby-offered. Thohe who have deserted to the service of the enemy, or wto have deserted after hav ing been once pardoned for the samq otfenice, and those who shall -desert, or absent them selves without authority after the publica tion of this order, are excluded from its bene fits. Nor does the offer of pardon extend to other offences than desertion and absence without permission. By the same authority, it is also declared that no geneVal amnesty will again be grant ed, and those who refuse to accept the par don now offetied, or who s0ll hereafter de sert or absent themselves without leave, shall suffer such punishment as the Courts may impose, and no application for clemon cy will be entertained. Taking new , resolution from the fate which our enemies intend for us, let eTery man devote all his energies to the common defence. .' Our rehources wisely and vigorousl' em ployed, are ample, and-a brave iarmy, sus tained by a determined atid utilted people, aucoess, with God's assistane, -osnoot be doubtful. The advantages of. the A-emy will h'ave ,but little walue If we do not permIt them to imgair our resolution. Let us, then, op. pose constancy to adversity, fortitude to suffering and .courage to danger, with the firm assurance that He who gave freedom to our fathters will bless the efforts' of their children to preserve It. mech 28'65--6 R.
