T HlEldisipline and efficiency of the nrrey have been greatly impaited by men leaving their proper commands to join others, in which they find service moro agree able This practice almost as injurious in its cousequences as the crime of desertion, by the Articles of War, exposes the offender to a similar punishment, and subjects the offi. eer receiving him to dismissal from the army. It is therefore declared that the provisions of General Orders No. 2, of this date, from army hleadquertors, apply to such men as have left tht ir proper commands and joined others without being regularly transferred. They will receive the pardon promised in that order upon complying with its condi thois, or suffer the consequences attached, to negiecting it. The nameq of such absentees will.. be (orthwith reported to these headquarters by the officers with 'whom they are serving, and immediate inoasures taken to return them to their proper cohunands., - As soon as practisable an inspection will be za4e, and oharges will be. preferred against those who neglect to enforce this order moh 23'65-6 R.

From the North. AUGUSTA, April 18.-The Chatta nooga Gazefte of the 4th says that the first dispatch of Federal movements *as received on the 30th March, from 4rants headquarters. Lee made seven demon. strations to find the position of the Yan kee forces, and recoiled every time. On the 31st Lincoln telegnphdd from City Point that there was much fighting'that day. In the forenoon the Confederate troops were successful, in the afternoon the Yankees occupied their former posi. tion. Grant moved one mile towards Richmond. On April 1, Gen. Stead man telegraphed that after hard fighting, Gens. Hoyden and Warren drove the Confederates back, near Baranow and occupied their five works. Grant's dispatches say that Sheridan carried everything before him, and cap. tured three brigades of infantry, a wagon train and several- batteries, of artillery, and several thousand prisoners. On April 2 Lincoln telegraphs Stanton, from City Point that Grant had cap tured 12000 prisoners and 'fifty pieces of artillery. Foster's division captured an important fort, with its entire garrison. Everything was carried on the left and Pet.ergburg closely invested. Petersburg was-occupied by the Yan kees on Sundsy night. In the fight before the city the Yankees say they captured over 3000 prisoners. On April 3, Grant dispatched that he car ried everything before him. and after - three days hard, fighting had occupied Richmond on Mqnday morning at 8 o'clock. Theirq w"g great-rejoicing, on the 5th ir.st., (at the North) over a. Washington' dispatch which said that the war is over, the programme of Grant anticipates all the possible movements of the Confederates; their rStreat is cut off at all points; Giant, Sherman, Thomas and Hancock is closing around the fragments of the Confederate army, New York! continues firing salutes. In Philadelphia there is a large proces. sion and the locomotives whistle "Inde pendonce I" Among other demonstra tons in Baltimore the Mayor 4 au -E1the jells to be rung. - In Cincinnati tliere was a general suspension of business, and a grand display of fireworks for an evening effect. The New York News says that Grants su-qesses has almost suspended business in the market. It is difficult to esti mate the 6ffect; on prices until the fato of Lee's army is known, and the pros pect of ajunction with Johnston, to offer battle at somepoint, or a possible fall on Sherman. Gold opened at:148, and fell to 145. The stock market has been gradually oversold, hence the scarcity ' of gold. Cotton fell five cents, the lowest prices being thirty-eight. wausted - AT THIS OFFICE, WOOLEN OR COT ton.R1ags, for which market price will be paid. [apI 18,65 .VaAlable Book Found.
