. Maich f5, 1865.
IN BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF CAMDEN
and vicinity, wjy and all persons having provisions
in their possession are earnestly requested to send
their surplus to this point for sale or distribution to
the needy. It is known to all that the enemy in his
course left verv few horses or mules, nod ia many
pluces all the provisions were taken; so that those
who may have a surplus to dispose of have no means
of getting it to market. "
There are a large numoer or persons riving in in*,
town ahlo to purchase supplies, but they are not to
be had at any price, and unless help comes from
abroad great suffering must insne.
Persons can deliver provisions of.any kind on the
Railroad and they will be brought up and delivered to
Vlr. James Dunlap, Intendant of the town, who will
sell or distribute ob the owner may plirect.
It is requested also that persons near the Railroad
will send np wood by the trains, as it is impossible
!br many to be supplied by the few wagons around.
AJ1 arf^s sent up to Mr. Dunlap will be promptly
attended to, as above mentioned.
Citizeas below Ciimden: the facts are before you,
jnd your suffering bretheren appeal to you for assistince.
Are you unwilling to respond, come and see

9ENERAL ORDERS NO. 3.' THE
DISCIPLINE AND EFFICIENCY :
of the army have been greatly impaired by
rien leaving their proper commands to join 1

This p^ctice, almost as injurious in its conieqitences
as the crime of desertion, by the
\rticles of War, exposes the offender to a
limilar pnnishment, and sobjeots the officer
eceiving him to dismissal from the army.
It is therefore declared that the provisions j
