HARRIsBuRG April 4.-The following gen.
eral order has just been issued -
HEADQUARTERS, P. NJ.
HARRIsBuRG, April 4, 1867.
GENERAL ORDER NO. 10.

GENERAL ORDER NO. lU.
The Governor congratulates the members of
the Eighty Fourth and One hundred -and'tenth
Regiments, Pennsylvania Volunteers, upon
their gaflantry in the recent severe and bril-
liant action a: Winchester. Their bearing
upon that occasion, under the formidable at
tack of bold aud desperate foe, was worthy
of the high reputation already Won by the sol
diers of Pennsylvania on the memorable helds
of Dranesvie, Roanoke Island, am Newbern.
The Governor is proud to recognize the enVia-
BILE distinction thus gained by the troops OF the
Commonwealth, and trusts that, to the end OF
the present wicked rebellion, they may be dis
tiDguished for similar deeds Of Vaor and endur-
ance, aud that, whenever called to meet the
enemies Of their country, they may prove their
fitness to sustain its flag.
The example of the gallant Col. Murray, OF
the Eighty Fourth, who fell at the head OF his
regiment in the conflict at Winchester, with
that of the noble men of bis command who
there gave their lives willing sacrifice to their
country, must stpuate all who are enlisted in
her service to increased devotion, while their
memory will be cherished by every patriot and
add honor to the arms of Pennsylvania and
the Union.
The Governor directs that Winchester,
23d March, 1862" be inscribed on the flags OF
the Eighty Fourth aud One hundred audtenth
Regiments, and that this order be read at the
head of all the regiments Of Pennsylvania Vol
unteers.
