New YORK, July 3l.--A Washington
special to the Post says dispatches from our
Ministers from abroad show the tone OF
foreign governments to be uniformly pacific.
The attention OF the Government is called
to the tone of several semi-secession jonr.
mails in New York, on the ground that they
interfere with enlistments.
COL Ullman, of the 18th New York, is
quite i'll of typhoid fever in General Pope's
army.
The following order has Just been issued
a. VAR DEPARTMENT, July 81.
The absence of officers and privates from
their duty, under various pretexts, while
receiving pay, st great expense and burden
to the Government, makes it necessary that
efficient measures should be taken to enforce
their return to duty, or that their places
will be supplied by those who will not take
pay while rendering no service. E
This evil, moreover, tends greatly to dis
courage the patriotic impulse of those who
would contribute TO support the families of
faithful soldiers.
1t is therefore ordered by the Presi lent
LIST. That on the first Gay of August all
leaves of absence and furloughs, by whom
soever given, unless by the War Depart
ment, are all revoked and absolutely an

ments under penalty of dismissal from the
service, or such penalty as court-martial
may award, unless the absence be occa-
stoned by lawful cause.

permits them to visit watering places, or
places of amusements, or TO make social
visits, or walk about the town or neighbor-
hood in which he may be, will be consid-
cred fit for military duty, and as evading
his duty by being absent from his COM
mand or the ranks.
On Monday the 18th day of August, at

must be mustered, and each absentee will
be marked, and three lists made ont, and in
AZ hours after the muster one copy shall be

and one to the commander of the corps !;

and privates fit for duty absent at that tine
shall be regarded as absent without cause,
and their pay will be stopped, and they will
be treated as deserters, unless restored I;
and no officer shall be restored to his rank,

quiry, TO be approved by the President, he
shall establish that his absence was not
without cause.
