Head-Quarters 7th Military District,
". ORLEANS. eth .iarch, 1915.

w. ORLEdNS. ON suUTC"s 1917.
The Maior-General commanding the
District, has received the application OF
ali the officers and soldiers of Major
Planche's battalion, and of Majors La
coste and Dacquin, earnestly praying, that
the general order Of the 2Sth ult. should
be suspended and pledging themselves tor
the good conduct of the persons coming
under its purvlew. The reasons for IS
suing that order were urgent-the certlh-
Gates of foreign agent were made the
pretext for most alarming derelctlo1n
of duty and men who, lett tsthe impulse
of their own rectitude would have follow
ed the general example OF patriotism and
honor that was setby the other inhabitants
OF the country were persuaded to accept
all the benefits arising from the heroic
conduct of their fellow citizens, While they
meanIy endeavored to shrink from all the
duties imposed ON them-to be citizens
for privileges, enjoyments and lmmuinues
aliens for all duties, sacrifices and e2-
posure of danger. This was state OF
things which the safety of the state, the
duties of the general, and the honor OF ms
country could not permit to exist: ana
the order was therefore issued giving those
misguided men time TO consider whether
they would still continue to ava: them
selves of this degrading exemption, at
distance from the camp, or enroll them
selves among those who defend it. lhe
time having expired fer the option gwen
by this order, it would have been strictly
executed, but for the application and the
guarantee offered by the gallant officers
and soldiers above named. Their cor
rect and highly meritorious conduct dur
ing the whole campaign, renders it DIM
cult for the commanding general to deny
any thing that they Can be induced to ASK
AS proof, therefore, of the high sense
which the commanding general enterta'ns
of the important services rendered by the
officers and soldiers Of the uniform batta-
lion OF New-0- ANS, as well as OF the O.
ty, he directs the execution Oh the
said order be .ded until his plea
sure shall be fure. nifed except so
far as the same rela to. the Chevalier
de Tousard. who is .ot to be permitted
to come within the lines of the camp or
Notifications, without special permis-
sion.

SIR,
From the enclosed, which the COM
handing general believes to be genuine,
the very pleasing intelligence of peace IS
placed almost beyond doubt. You will
please, however, in giving it publicity, to
state that the dispatches referred to, have
not from some extraordinary occurrence;
reached the commanding general, and
consequently leaves us in doubt whether
the state of peace relates to the treaty
as negotiated at Client, or to tberatihca-
ton by the President of the U. S.
With due consideration.

place between the q. States and Great
Britain-I need not mention to you the
Importance of forwarding these dispatch
es with the greatest expedition possible,
and have only to request your aid in tur-
nishing or procuring horses, or IN case
Mr.. Bell should be unable to proceed, to
employ a new messenger, so often as oc-
casion may require, to forward these dis
patches to Orleans; any necessary ex-
pense which may be Incurred in this re-
snect, shall be duly reimbursed from this

death of our much lamented Secretary,
the duty of notifying this event devoIves
on the subscribers, who take the liberty
ofrequesting punctual attendance of the
clerical and lay deputies. AS it is re-
quired by the canons of the General Con-
vention that parochial reports on the state
of the Church in each parish be furnished
to each State Convention and as.under
existing circumstances such information
is necessary in order to enable our active
and jealous Bishop to take measures for
supplying them with ministers it is
therefore very desirable that each dele
gate would come prepared with a report
embracing these objects.
