WASHINGTON, August ..
The recent order to prevent evasion of mill
tary duty, are designed to operate on two
classes of persons, viz: those who contemplate
leaving the U. S. for the purpose of eyading
their military duty, and those who leave their
own States or place of residence and go into
other States for the same purpose. The object
is to compel every citizen of the u. S. subject
to military duty, to bear his share in support
ing the government. Instructions have been
prepared, and will be issued on Monday TO mil
itary commanders, marshals and police officers,
respecting the mode OF executing the order SO
as to interfere as little as possible with indi-
vidual pursuits and business, and limit the
operation of the order to cases of evasion.
The following order has just been issued from
the head quarters of the military district of
Washington:
All soldiers now employed as nurses, cooks,
attendants, or in any other capacity, in the diff
ferent hospitals, and who are able to join their
regiments, will be relieved of such duty and
sent to their regiments. Convalescents will be
selected for such duties, and no others, and
these convalescents will be relieved as soon as
they have sufficiently recovered AS to be fit for
active duty

exchange of prisoners at that point. Our YES

and in the course of hours delivered all the
30l3 rebel prisoners to Commissioner Robert
Ould. The U. S. prisoners had walked ID
miles, and were in an almost famished condi-
tion-their fare having been two small biscuits
each for the entire day. They had suffered ex-
tremely for the want of water, and it was only
after the entreaty of Mr.. Ould with with the
colonel having charge OF them, that they were
permitted in squads to quench their thirst at a
well Capt. j. S. Stevenson of the marine ar
tillery connected with our boats, distributed
foon, and otherwise relieved their necessities.
They remained oser night at the landing Mr..
Aiken, the proprietor of the plantation, fur
nishing them with straw on which to Sleep
Early the next day they were taken on board
our transports. Mr.. Ould acknowledged that
the rebel prisoners had been better treated by
the L. S. authorities than our own men at
Richmond, and certainly the contrast between
the two parties furnished proof of this fact
Sometime this week the arrangement for the
exchange of officers is expected to be consum-
mated.
An order has been issued calling upon all
officers who are on parole to report their
names, rank and address to the Adj't General
that arrangement may be made for their ex-
change.
