WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsHINGToN, Julv

WARRINGTON, July IL
The absence of officers and privates from
their duty under various pretexts, while receiv-
ing pay ct great expense and burden to the
Government, makes it necessary that efficient
measures should be taken to enforce their re-
turn TO duty, or that their places be supplied by
those who will not take pay while rendering no
service. This evil moreover tends greatly to
discourage the patriotic impulse of those who
would contribute to support the families of
faithful soldiers. II Is therefore ordered by
the President,
First. That on Monday, the llth day of
August, all leaves of absence and furloughs
by whomsoever given, unless by the War De-
partment, are revoked, absolutely annulled;
and all officers capable of service are required
ft.:s-iLh to join their regiments, under penal
ty Of dismissal from the service or such PEN
atty as a court-msrtial may award, unless the
absence be occasioned by lawful cause.
Second The only excuse allowed for the
absence o officers or privates from duty after
the llth day Of August, are, first, the order or
leave Of the War Department; second, dsabil-
ity from wounds received in service; third, ,.dsa,
bllity from disease that renders the party unfit
for military dlty; but any officer or private
whose health permits him TO visit watering
places or places of amusement, or to make 60
cal visits or walk about the town, city or neigh
borhood in which he may be, will be considered
tit for military duty and as evading his duty by
absence from his command or the ranks.
Third. On Monday, the 18th day of August,
at ten O'Clock A. M each regiment and corps
shall be mustered; the absentees will be mark.
ed, three lists of the came made out, and with
in forty eight hours after the musters, one COPY
shall be sent to the Adjutant- General Of the
army and one to the commander of the coroA
The third is to be retained, and all officers and
privates iis for duty absent AZ that time, shall
will be stopped and they will be dlsmissed from
the Service or treated deserters unless restor.
ed; and no officer shall be restored 10 his rank
unless, by Judgment Of 9 court Of inquiry, TO
be approved by the President, he shall establish
that hia absence was not without cause.

are paving the way for the loss of

money, land, negroes, homestead,
everything. Isit not good invest
ment, even as a Yankee Calculation,
to expend a third of your wealth and
thereby save the remainder? A few
thousands of dollars donated to the
soldiers of liberty, is just like put
ting seed corn. in the ground. The
fruits will be an hundred fold when
we obtain an ultimate victory over
our enemiesa.
