GENERAL HALLEoK's RECENT ORDERS.
It's understood that General Halleck, in
the issue of his orders respecting fugitive
slaves, followed his own judgment, and not
any specific instructions of the Government.
Not only General Halleck, but other Gen
erals in command of departments, are left to
their own discretion as to the manner of dis
posing of this difficult and troublesome ques-
ton. 1t is evident that such is the case with
the instructions to Generals Dix, Sherman
and Halleck. The call made upon the Sec
IetGry of War for the orders of Halleck will
probably disclose this fact.

SICKNESS IN THE ARMY

Though not generally of serious charac-
