with dates of the Doth. All is quiet there.
The Herald has Richmond papers of the 18th
and 18th
The Richmond Examiner of the 18th thinks
that great battle was impending between the
rebel army on the Rapidan and General Pope's
forces, at such time as their Generals were ready
and not before, and that the battle6 field would be
in the vicinity of Culpepper
The rebel Congre met in Richmond on the
18th, on which occasion JEFF Davis submitted
his annual message. He leads off in his usual
hypocritical style, and then ailudes TO the Fede-
raj Government robbers, assassins, ad intni-
fum He speaks of and recommends retaliatory
measures to meet the late laws recently passed
by the Federal Govern ment, recommends the is
sue of more rebel treasury shinplasters, and al
udes to the building of rebel vessels at
home and abroad. The message betrays great
signs OF weakness in the rebel Government, for
no nation that has power in its hands ever puts
forth such arguments as acquiesced in murder,
rapine &c, under the name OF retaliation.

an extract from the General Orders issued by
Gen. Merrill, governing the movements of troops
in this division:
ANY officer in this division who permits his
command to be surprised or who. while he has a
round of ammunition left. surrenders his com
mand to the enemy, will be tried for neglect OF
duty and cowardice. and will, if found guilty, be
shot in accordance with the articles OF war. A
surprise is never excusable, and there can never
be any palliation for an ofiense so grave rs the
gross neglect of duty which alone can make it
possible. A surrender is only excusabe when
there are no longer any defendants or means OF
defense, or when there IS no possible chance or
hope of cutting through the enemy, and then the
true soldier will strike one blow for honor, how
ever hopeless the victory.
