By order of the Directors, E. WELSH, Assistant Secretary. Bank of England, 16th August, 1862. LITERATURE. The Lord Mayor of London ; or, City Life in the Last Century. By Wm. Harrison Ainsworth. 3 vols. Chapman and Hall. That this novel of Mr. Ainsworth was suggested in a measure by Hogarth's delineations of the re sults of idleness and industry is tolerably evident from certain indications at the commencement of the first volume, still they merely give him as it were a starting-point, and in no way assisted him tofill up the details of,.his portrait of " a -worthy- Lord Mayor." This portrait, although assigned to a particular date, 1761, is, he states, an ideal one. Differing in opinion with those novelist and comic writers who have made Aldermen and Common Councilmen a standing jest, and believing munici pal authorities "to be generally men of sterling character, of high intelligence and capacity, zealous in the discharge of their public duties, and energe tic in the maintenance of the rights and privileges of the great City they represent," he has painted them as such, and he has, moreover, de scribed the City pageants as they existed in all their glory a hundred years ago. Many celebrities of the time, such as George 111., the Earl of Bute, Pitt, Wilkes, and Alderman Beckford, are brought on the scene, and thus the political as well as the social aspect of the time is placed before the reader. The action of the tale is necessarily com prised within the space of the Mayoralty, or rather within a portion of it, inasmuch as it commences on the memorable ninth of November, and terminates with the Easter feast of the ensuing year. The principal character in it is, as Mr. Ainsworth states, imaginary, and he has endeavoured to render it a type of those business men who, from small beginnings have, by industry and integrity, raised themselves to the highest position the city can bestow. "Born at Bucklerabury, about sixty years before the present important epoch in his history, Gresham was the third son of a drysalter, in a very small way of business, who had got into difficulties and never recovered from them, but who was able to give his son a good education by placing him at the Merchant Tailors' School, where the last re mained until his father's death, when he was apprenticed to Mr. Tradescant, a prosperous draper in Cheapside, who knew the family and had taken a fancy to the youth." Of this start in life Gresham makes the most. He becomes Mr. Tradescant's right hand, is made head clerk, taken into partner ship, and ends by marrying his master's only daughter and succeeding to the business. Increas ing in worldly wealth he becomes Sheriff, is knighted, is then elected Alderman, and at last succeeds in the object of his ambition, that of becoming Lord Mayor. In his domestic relations R;.- OraaL... Lurlinet Lam scarcely be Couoiclo.,d au fortunate, inasmuch as his wife and two eldest daughters are essentially worldly, and his only son Tradescant is, at the beginning of the tale, on the road to ruin. Of the Lady Mayoress we have the following picture : " The Lady Mayoress, it has been intimated, was a few years younger than her husband, and being still in remark ably good preservation, might be termed a fine woman. Her person was rather on a large scale, it is true, her fea tures fat and rounded, and her once dimpling chin doubled, but her teeth and eyes were gool, and she had an agreeable smile, and a generally pleasing expression of countenance. " Her size, however, was vastly exaggerated by the out rageous dimensions of the hoops sustaining her pink satin gown, which was decorated to profusion with large bows of ribbon, cords, tassels, and wreaths of flowers, and festooned with great bands of parti-coloured silks ; while her stature was increased in the same ratio by a surprisingly lofty head-dress, which was full three feet above her brow, and might have overbalanced a less substantially-built frame. This monstrous 'head,' the interior of which (if we may venture to reveal the secrets of the toilet) was formed of tow, rose up smooth and straight as a wall in front, being stiffened with powder and pomatum, while the sides and back were covered with ranges of enormous curls, likewise plentifully besprinkled with powder. Some of these curls descended on her ladyship's ample shoulders. " But we have not yet done. The towering head-dress in question, which reminds one of Queen Huncamunca's, was hung over with ropes of pearls and other jewels, deco rated with ribbons in bobs and ties, and surmounted with a plume of ostrich feathers. " There seems little danger of such a mode as this being revived, but it may be as well to remark, by way of caution, that independently of the time occupied in its construction, the shape, which was calculated to last for a fortnight, could only be preserved by the wearer sleeping in a chair the whole of the time. Such, ladies, was a Lady Mayoress in the time of your great-grandmothers." Now it so happens that Sir Gresham had two bro thers,Godfrey and Lawrence, who left London when young to push their fortune in the country, and of neither of whom from that time had he heard. Just, however, as the Lord Mayor is about to join his procession two young persons, dressed in rustic garb, are announced, and introduce themselves to him as his brother Godfrey's children, Herbert and Prue ; state that their father is dead, and that they are come to claim their uncle's protection. Though he had never before seen or heard of them Sir Gresham at once recognises them from their family likeness, and gives them a cordial welcome. Not so his wife and family. They, ashamed of their father's low origin, wish to turn their backs upon his poor relations, but he thus rebukes them—" I wish everybody to know I am not ashamed of my origin. I have an honest pride in referring to it. 'Tis one of the greatest privileges of the high office I now hold, that its qualifications are not exalted birth, or interest, but the good opinion and esteem of one's fellow-citizens. These I have won, or I should not wear these robes to-day. But I should be unworthy my office if I could forget my former position—if I could look coldly on my brother's children. I bid them heartily welcome. All who love me, and respect me, will follow my example." And he not only gives them kind words, but places Herbert in the shop, offers him the management of it, and promises that, if diligent, he will, on the next Lord Mayor's Day, take him into partnership. But another surprise is in store for Sir Gresham. Whilst he is showing the Duchess of Richmond, Lady Kildare, and Lady Pembroke,who are termed the three Court beauties, the Guildhall and the city giants, and while they were contemplating the colossal figures, and listening to Sir Gresham's droll version of the popular legend respecti n g them, a strange hollow sound, resem bling a prolonged and dismal groan , was wallhea heard, d b , e issuing,h behind a pparently, fro m th e i nterior of the the figure of Magog, Thi s soun d issues from a cell appropriately called Little Ease, and the prisoner emerging at Sir Gresham's order turns out to be his long lost brother Laurence, who had been there con fined for being drunk and dis orderly. m any a one might have hesitated to acknowl e d ge a near re lative under suc h circum stances,reluc- tance. and could scarcely be blamed for his reluc tance. Si r G resham, howe ver, was nut a person of this stamp. He resolved to adopt the proper and the manly course , let th e world think w h at it So I might of him, " he at ones ack n owledges him, e but the old man, ashamed of his plight, refuses to admit his identity, and assumes t h e nam e of Can dish.

Herbert now, the rustic cousin, strange to say, gives cause for anxiety. In proportion as Tradescant at tends to business, he neglects it, nor are remon strances of-any avail in changing his course. The enigma is, however, at length solved by the arrival of an old gentleman from Yorkshire named Winter, who is a large landed proprietor, and M.P. for the East Riding, and who explains that he is the long lost brother Godfrey who had married a Yorkshire heiress and taken her name, and that his children had imposed on their uncle by a fictitious story in order to test his generosity.

Gl' Ingannati ; the Deceived. A Comedy per formed at Siena in 1531, and Aelia Laclia Crispis. By T. L. Peacock. Chapman and Hall. In this old Italian comedy, the greater portion of which is here translated, Mr. Peacock believes he has discovered the original of Shakspere's" Twelfth Night," and the correctness of his inference we see no reason to doubt. The date of Shakspere's comedy is fixed at about 1600 ; the earliest edition of " Gl' Ingannati," of which Mr. Peacock has found a re cord, is 1537 ; and although most of the details of the two plays are wholly different—although in the Italian we find no trace of the wonderful imagina tive power or subtle humour of Shakspere—there is, nevertheless, a certain coincidence of event be tween them which leads to the conclusion that Shakspere may have made the same use of it there he did of Italian tales and English chronicles. Thus in both plays " A girl assumes male apparel, and enters as a page into the service of a man with whom she either previously is, or subsequently be comes, in love. He employs her as a messenger to a lady, who will not listen to his suit. The lady falls in love with the supposed page , and, un der the in fluence of a mistake, marries the girl's twin brother. The lover transfers his affection to the damsel who had served him in disguise." And this is, in reality, all for which Shakspere is indebted. This skeleton it is which he has clothed with immortality. That he should have converted such meagre material into so exquisite a creation is one of the most convincing proofs of his power ; and the Shaksperian world should be grateful to Mr. Peacock for bringing it to their knowledge. The explanation he gives at the end of the volume of the famed " Aelia Laclia Crispis" is ingenious, and will afford matter for dis cussion to those curious in such inquiries. The Royal English and Foreign Confectioner. By Charles Dine Francatelli. Chapman and Hall. We can scarcely describe the contents of this handsome volume better than in the words of the author's preface :—" Herein will be found minutely and correctly detailed, instructions giving the most approved methods for the preservation of fruits, in sugar or spirits ; the preparation of all kinds of syrups; English, foreign, and national fancy beve rages; ices, graniti, bon-bons, candies, comfits, compotes, dessert cakes, plain and fancy bread making ; spirituous essences, liqueurs, cordials; orna mental confectionary, the dishing up of fruits, and the general economy and arrangement of desserts." We have only to add that there are numerous illus trations in chromolithography of artistically contrived dishes, and it will at once be evident that the volume contains every requisite aid to ensure success in the confectioners indispensable calling. Elements of Geography. For Schools and Families. By A. F. Foster. Chapman and Hall. We have here a clear and concise account of the principal physical features of the world we inhabit, and so much of the social and political condition of each country as every fairly-educated person ought to know. Thus the area and population of each country are given, the natural features and chief products described, the government, rPligion, and condition of the people commented on, and at the end is a very useful etymological and pronouncing index of the terms and names common to geography as made use of in the work. THE LOSS OF THE BRIG COMMODORE. The following is tho official report on the inquiry into the loss of this vessel : " My Lords,. ---I have, in accordance with your instruc tions, and in conjunction with Captains Harris and scott, as nautical assessors, held an inquiry into the loss of the brig Commodore, which was wrecked on the Horse Bank, i cer tificatehad off the mouth of the River Ribble on the 19th o f July last. The Commodore was a vessel built of wo o d, of 221 tons burthen, owned by Mr. James Bloomer, of S outh Shiel d s , and commanded of competency, William waslost n Johnston, the w vessel, ho held and a a crew of nine persons, all told. The Commodore left Trieste on her homeward voyage laden with wh ea t, an d put into Falmouth for orders. She sailed thence for Fleetwood on the 15th of July, and about one p.m. on the 19th she struck on the Hoese Bank, at the mouth of the Ribble. The only evidence which could be br oug h t before th e courtwaths the tatoef having Georg sailed George Berwick, the c arpenter o f the vessel,on another voyage; and the crew having dispersed in various quarters, none of them could be found for the purposes of this inquiry at the time when instructions to hold it were issued. The evidence of the witness Borwick undoubtedly produced an impression on the minds of the court that there w as au absence of pru dence on the part of the master in neglecting to use the lead when approaching a low and dangerous coast, as, so far as g i ven for the use of the ship struck ; nor, to his knowledge, could he say that the lead was ever use d a t size ith of s which e t e h m e ve t o s t s h e be l hleeadcotuiuldwsiathyi,nhteenhemarindunthosobrdefeorrse the vessel, and consequently con e little d ou bt th a t the leadsman would have bs e i l ed l e . enrihn Looking ega rthd,etherefacility h woulde w master neglected to use the lead in sufficient time to prevent the accident, as, by referring to the chart, he would appear to have been sailing for many miles in very shallow sound ings. On the other hand ; the master is said' by the witness scarcely to have quitted the deck since leaving Falmouth, and had been frequently aloft during the morning for the purpose of ma ki n g the land. The master, by the advice of his solicitor, declined to make any statement, and the testimony of the carpenter alone remained to guide the court to a conclusion. Under these circumstances, a very gra ve question presented itself to my mi nd, as to how f ar , on the unsupported evidence of one witness, and that witness not a seaman, I should be justified in condemning the master to the heavy penalty with which he might j us tly have been visited had other corroborative testi mony been laid before the court.

A commissioner shall be appointed by the Secretary of War to superintend the execution of this order in the respective districts, the mayor and chief of police of any town or city, the sheriffs of the respective counties in each State, and all post masters and justices of the peace, are authorised to act as special provost marshals, to arrest any officer or private soldier, fit for duty, who may be found absent from his command without just cause, and convey him to the nearest military post or depot.

STANTON, Secretary of War." The Richmond Examiner of the 28th gives the following account of the cutting out and burning of a Federal transport on the James River : "On Saturday morning a party of five of the Prince George Cavalry, Capt. Marks, consisting of Corporal Teller Cooke and Privates Thomas Martin, William Daniel, Alexander Dimitry, and William Williams, conceived and carried out successfully a private little enterprise of their own, which resulted in the burning of a large Federal transport, the capture of its commander, and the consternation and surprise of the Yankee fleet in the immediate neighbourhood. The party left Coggin's Point, on the south side of James River, five miles below City Point, about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning, in an ar med with naked sabres and their re volvers. boat,ers .The Federal fleet of transports - and gun boats lay around them. One gunboat was at anchor about 100 yards above them, and another half a mile immediately below, several others, invisible at the time, were in various positions. The transports lay scattered along the channel, some not 20 yards apart. After getting among them the party made a reconnaisance to discover the largest, 200 tons burden, and finally s e l ecte d a sp l en did looking schooner of other articles of k or John A. Jon es . As tghee'y whichPfora,loaded with corn, oats , and proved to be t he Louisa Rives, of N ow y and commanded b a y a c o g ap o t n . board commenced their oars vigor ous l y an d barkingfuriously ; they plied bow chains, boarded the ui schooneretly,waintdh,oruetacfahlitnegritnhge. The crew were sleeping soundly, but the captain, awakened by the dog, rushed on deck from the cabin, and was met at the very door by Martin (himself a sailor), who seized him by the collar, and placing a pistol at his head, cau tioned him that to speak a word was death. Taking the surprised captain back into his cabin, he was allowed to dress and secure whatever valu ables he wished to carry away with him. The matresses were then drawn out, ripped open, and fired, the door docked, and the captain escorted to the boat. In a few moments the party reached the shore, when the flames burst from the fired vessel, and the whole fleet was in commotion. Small boats plied about in every direction, hawsers were at tached to vessels, anchors weighed, and a general pulling and tugging commenced to keep clear of the burning vessel. In the meantime the crew of the Louisa Rives, awakened by the smoke, yelled fire !' and scampered over the decks with buckets of water with all the volubility and nimbleness of New York plugs.' A boat was sent from one of the adjacent vessels to their relief and assistance, and for the additional purpose of saving the schooner if possible. But the crew had scarcely mounted the deck before a shell and some rifles which were in the cabin exploded. All hands commenced a gene ral stampede, and tumbled over the bulwarks into their boats in the utmost confusion. No further at tempt was made to save the vessel, and she burnt to the water's edge. The heroes of this achievement, concealed in the woods above Coggins' Point, watched the event with the utmost satisfaction, and then carried their prisoners into quarters. They stated that they would have taken the whole crew, but their boat Nrct loolry, with a hole in one side just a little above the water line, so that Ti they Lad taken the crew in, all would have gone down toge ther. Had they stopped to lower a boat from the vessel, the manoeuvre would doubtless have been observed, and their capture the consequence." There has been a serious riot in Brooklyn, arising out of an attempt to prevent the employment of negroes in a tobacco factory. The following par ticulars arc given by the New York World : " A serious disturbance occurred in Sedgwick street, near Columbia-street, yesterday afternoon, caused by the employment of negroes in the tobacco manufactories of Messrs. Watson and Lorillard, and resulted in the expulsion of the employes of the factories, consisting mostly of women and children (coloured), which, but for an accident, a large number would have been de stroyed by fire. Shortly after noon, some 50 persons collected together, and making known their object, assembled a crowd numbering between 2,000 and 3,000 persons, and proceeded to the factories,which are three-story buildings, of brick, and in which between 300 and 400 persons are employed. The overseer, or foreman, of Watson's factory is a coloured man, as are all the persons employed therein, most of whom are women and children, to the number from 50 to 75. In Lord Lorillard's factory about 250 are employed,whites and coloured. There has been no difficulty until within the past few weeks, but it has been understood for some time that a disturbance might take place any day. The population in the vicinity are principally Irish. Several local politicians, having for their object the making of political capital for use in the future, conceived the idea of making a demonstration against the factories for the purpose of expelling the objec tionable employes. They proceeded to both fac tories, which adjoin each other, and commenced by smashing in the doors and windows with stones. They entered the lower floor of Watson's factory, and, discovering a concoction of liquorice and whisky, mistook it for tar, and heaping a parcel of old clothing and some more combustible material around, set it on fire; but they were disappointed. It would not burn. A smoke was created, but there was no flame of consequence. The affrighted em ployes meantime took refuge in the upper stories. The men stood at the head of the stairs ; there were some half dozen of them, who, armed with such weapons as they could get hold of, stood there to defend themselves and the women and children. A number who came up, thinking they could over- awe the coloured guardians of the staircase, were injured. knocked down and several were seriously The resistance at the landing was so p ersi stent that , the rioters could not get up, and were com pelled to depart much faster than they came.

Advices from Nassau state that the British steamer Herald was fired upon and chased into that port by the Federal frigate Adirondac, and I the mail steamer British Queen was hoarded by the Federal steamer Santiago da Cuba, 25 miles north of the Elbow of Abaco. The Nassau Guardian of the 26th says:— " One of die most glaring outrages we hgve ever had occasion to record took place within sight of our citizens yesterday morning. At day break two steamers were observed from the shore, cane giving chase to and firinu at the other. M e vessels turn out to be the Federal man-of-war. Adiron dae, 14,C0m wander Gansevoort, and the Eng lish steamer Herald, Capt. Cosetter, We have been favoured with the particulars by an eyewitness on board the latter vessel. The Herald was steering for Nassau at half-apeed, the lighthouse being in sight, and shortly afterwards saw a vessel about V; miles ahead. At half-past 5 o'clock she was about four points off the starboard bow and a mile dis tant. She then changed her coarse and stood for the Herald, as if to cross her bows. When within 200 or 300 yards of her she rounded zip alongside. The former then hoisted the British flag, and the latter fired a shotted gun across her stem The Herald kept on her course, still at half-speed, wk'len the other fired a shot across her bows, slighti l Y grazing her, and afterwards showed the American , flag. On this Capt. Coxetter ordered all steam to be put on his vessel, when the American sheered off between 300 and 400 yards, and fired a broadside, which was ineactive. From this time she kept up a continuous fire, throwing shell, solid, chain, and grape shot, giving chase, and not desisting till the Herald was within two miles or less of the light house. The flag was shot down, but immediately replaced. The deck was splintered over the cabin by a shell, part of which was found on board. Capt. Coxetter stood on the paddle-box all the time, and was heard to exclaim ' He may sink ale, but he shall not take me.' No material damage was done to the vessel, and not a man on board was hurt. The Herald entered the harbour between 6 and 7 o'clock, and reported the case to Capt. Hickley, oa c her Majesty's ship Greyhound, who immediately got up steam and proceeded to the Adirondac, for the purpose of protesting against the proceedings of Capt. Gansevoort. The captain of the Federal man-of-war, however, asserts his right to search any vessel suspected of carrying contrabat.id of war within three miles of any coast, and quotes Tattet on International Law in support of the step he has taken. The subject, we understand, will be referred . to the Home Government, at the request of Capt. Gansevoort. With all due deference to the cap tain of the Adirondac and the authority he has brought forward in support of his untoward act, we feel convinced that the Imperial Government will never countenance such a gross infringement of theneut o r u al t i r t a y ge wlawsth beand we sincerely trus t that no similar again our waters. Our goods are detained from monthto month by the Customhouse authorities of N ew fork ; our vessels are constantly being boarded by within Federal gunboats within our own waters, and that' while our time-honoured flag is flying; not even the mail packet British Queen can pass along un molested, for she was fired at and brought to this very passage. Only a few weeks ago the British steamer Bermuda was captured off Abaco. within sight of the lighthouse; and on the Bth inst. what do we find ?—why, the Federal gunboat Adriatic carrying off the British steamer Adela within sight of the Biminis. It is high time to put an end to these unheard-of proceedings." The Nassau Guardian has the following para graph in reference to the British Queen, but does i not give any particulars of the boarding of that vessel:— " he steamship British Queen arrived from New York at day break on Thursday with the English mail of the sth, and the American of the 19th of July. Capt. Harrison's temporary chnrge having expired, the packet is now commanded by that highly esteemed officer, Capt. Le Messurier, late of the Karnak. The freight from England left behind last month, in consequence of 11r. Cunard's refut - 33 1 to enter into a bond of an enormous amount that none of the goods should be shipped into the Southern States, still remains warehoused in New York, together with the freight brought out by the Persia this month. Our merchants are, therefore, still suffering great pecuniary losses in thus being unjustly deprived of the sale of articles so much in demand here during the summer months. The only freight which came by the British Queen was a case of silver ware directed to the officers' mess of the 2d West India Regiment, and had it not been for Lieut. Turton's exertions that would have been left behind also." CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, SATURDAY MORNING. The Cunard mail steamer Asia, from Boston on the 6th and Halifax the Bth, has arrived. The Secretary of War has issued the following order calling out 300,000 Militia from the several States:-- _ _ O W r a d r e r D e d e 13 , a Fir m rt s ent t— T W h a a t s h i a n Militia be'immediately called into the service o f the United St a t es, to serve for nine mon th s un l e ss sooner g draughtt on, D. C 0 . , fAug. 300, 4. 000 discharged. The Secretary of War will assign the quotas to the States and establish regulations for the draught. —That authorised o v n o d l , u an y i State dby law, shall the not, fi by ei e n the u August, furni s h i ts quota of the addit i ona l 300,000" S of volunteers in that State will 8 e 15th of i also .be made up by a special draught from the Militia. The Secretary of War will establish regulations for this purpose. "Third,—Regulations will be prepared b y the War Department and presented to the President, with the object of securing the promotion of officers of the army and volunteers for meritorious and dis tinguished services, and of preventing the nomina tion and appointment in the military service of incompetent or unworthy officers. The regulations will also provide for ridding the service of such incompetent persons as now hold commissions. "By order of the President. " EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War." The New York Evening Post remarks ; " The order of the War Department, issued yes terday, calling for militiamen in sufficient numbers to raise the Union armies to an aggregate of a mil lion of men, absorbs the attention of the community. Comparatively little else is thought of. The ex citement which the first announcement of a draught produced is, however, to some extent, passing away. The necessity of the movement is freely ac knowledged by all classes. The effect of the new order upon military operations in this city is not yet fully apparent. There is much excitement among the recruiting stations, and discussions are frequent but not boisterous. Recruiting is less ac tive. All the Government offices are open, as here tofore ; the mustering of volunteers goes slowly forward; the State pays the bounties as hitherto; but the majority of the recruits are wanting. No special preparations have been made in this city or anywhere, so far as we hear, for the immediate draught which had been ordered, but the State authorities will be ready to draught on the 15th of August, should it be necessary. The enrolment is completed, and the perfect returns show that the lists, which it was understood bore but 300,000 names, will contain more than 400,000. The law fixes the limit for filling exemption claims on the 15th of this month, and until that period it cannot be determined who really constitute the arms bearing population of the State. The exemption business is a rapid operation in this city. The ex emption papers which are filed in the office of the county clerk are received by Major S. R. Pinckney, and are entered in a book which contains the names of the exempts, or those who claim to, be such. About 2,500 claims for exemption had been re ceived up to yesterday, of which 700 were offered on the last day. To-day the indications are that the number may reach 1,000 more. We learn, how ever, that the exemptions offered increase rather than diminish the recorded enrolment of 38,000 men in this city. It is a somewhat singular fact, and is explained in this wise. When the enrolment was made there was no expectation that a draught for war purposes would be needed, and the officers did not record the names of those who claimed to be exempt where there seemed to be evidence to sustain the claim, Many of these and others are not really exempt and will not be considered in the draught nowordered, though for State Militia pur poses they were so considered." The following special despatch from Washington to the same journal states that the President has decided against enrolling regiments of negroes : "Washington, Aug. 4. " A deputation of prominent citizens waited upon the President this morning to ascertain if he would accept the services of negro regiments. The case was fairly put before Mr. Lincoln. It was re presented to him that regiments of blacks could be formed and equipped, to be commanded by white officers, and that their services would be of great benefit to the country. It was also urged that the rebels armed their slaves and used them against us. Mr. Lincoln replied that he could not accept regi ments of negroes, but that he would accept as many as would offer their services as labourers. This, it is understood, is to be the settled policy of the Go verwnent." The War Department exempts from military ser vice persons engaged on the construction of mili tary telegraph lines. The following order respecting absent officers and privates has been issued :- 4, War Department, Washington, D. C., July 31. _ _ " The absence of officers and privates from their duty under various pretexts, while receiving pay at great expense and burden to the Government, makes it necessary that efficient measures be taken to enforce their return to duty, or that their places be supplied by those who will not take pay while rendering no service. This evil, moreover, tends greatly to discourage the patriotic impulse of those who would contribute to support the families of faithful soldiers. " It is therefore ordered by the President : " 1. That on Monday the 11th day of August, all leaves of absence amd furloughs by whomsoever given, unless by the War Department, are revoked and absolutely annulled ; and all officers capable of service are required forthwith to join their regiments, under a penalty of dismissal from the service, or such penalty as a court-martial may award, unless the absence be occasioned by some lawful cause.
