O1XERAL ORDERS

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

IN entering upon the.campaign about to

ed that the soldiers who have so long and
so nobly borao the hairdships and dangers of
the war, require no exhortqAion. to respond
to the calls of loner and duty. .
With the liberty transmitted by their fore
fathers they have inherited the spirit to de

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.
