both his insanity and. loyalty was created,

outside Of town and having a cord attached
to his neck and drawn over the limb of a

of a gang who had been sent into the coun~

Orders have recently been issued fiom the

and stringent remedy to the vice of absen-
teeism in the army. These orders require

War, or from their department commanders,
to return to their commands without delay.
Commissioned officers are requested to
comply with the provisions of this order
within a reasonable length of time, in no
case to exceed twenty days after the publica-
ton of,:this order, or they shall be dropped from
the rolls of the army in disgrace, and their
names will be furnished to the commandant
of conscripts for enrolment in the ranks.
Detailed men who shall fail to return to
their commands within a reasonable length
of time, shall he considered as d~eserters and
treated accordingly, their names to be fur
nished to the commandment of conscripts in
their State for publication, or such other &C.
ton as may be deemed eMmcasious.
Under the provisions of the Cd clause O

missioned officers and privstes who are in
capable of bearing arms in consequence Q
wounds received in battle, but who are 9th
erwise fit for service, are required, if no
otherwise assigned, to report to the. nesres

States, who will, if they are fitted for sue
duty, assign them to the collection of strag
glers and the enforcement of the provision

sixteen miles each day. Our courageous fell.

but while it is my pleasure thus to inform
our friends, it is my sad duty to notice the
death of a very worthy member of my COM

bloody battles before Richmond, where on
Monday evening be received a wound IN the
neck which dsableag hitu as a soldier until,
the date of his death. Each member Of our.
company minsles his SORROWS with those of
the bereayed friends of our comrade, and
humbly hope while his body rests in the
lone, cold grave, his Spirit is bathing in the
springfield of endless bliss.

The News of the Week.

By telegram we are advised Of an attempt
to cross the Rappahannock on the 18th, by
the Abolition army. They were repulsed,
but another bridge was in course of construc-
ton. [See Latest News Head
Our fsrces evacuated Winchester last week
on the supposed approach of a large Yankee
force. 1t turned out that a small force ofthe
enemy finding it had been evacuated, occu-
pied it shout two hours and paroled come
ninety of our sick soldiers, bat left in short
order. Our forces have returned, and Win
chester is in our possession.
The Northern papers intimate that Gen.
Banks is in command of the forces who are
to advance upon Richmond by the James
and York rivers. 1t is also supposed that a
column will advance from Suffolk. Thus with
Burnside from Fredericksburg, they hope to
invest and attack Richmond by three col
umus.
1t is stated that 10000 of the enemy left
Suffolk early this week, designed, it is sup
posed, for an attack upon Weldon. A force
of the same size is believed to have left New
bern in. gunbcats and transports, having fail.
ed in the attempt by way of Hamilton, and
gone up the Chovsn to cooperate with the
Suffolk force against Weldon. The report of
the landing of this force in Gates has been
confirmed. It would seem that the object is,
to out flank our force at franklin Depot, and
to cross the Chowan at Winton or some oth-
sr point, and advance upon Weldon viaMur-
fresboro'. A few days will determine the
character of the movement.
We have nothing ofintcrestfrom Newbern,
