Of whom will be dismissed under circumstances at

possibility ioc return to the service, or any oil er

One of the fayorte suLterfuges practiced by
officers anxious alsulk fom their duties Las been
10 quit their commands on surgeons certificate or
Oh pretended leave Of absence signed by some
subordnale officer, Colonel or Biga1ier- General,
who lad no power 10 gye IL; and den, ii discoy-
cred urge the plea Of ignorance Of tie orders sud
regulations on this subject. But all leaves Of ab-
sence to be Of avail, must emanate from ne very
highest source, as prescribed In General Orl.s, and
all officers absent on medical certificates must be
sure that their certificate is issued b. COM eten an
thcrity, and that they do not remain absent orc

While these steps are being taken with regard 10
officers, measures OF equally stringent and ctec-
tive character are in progress % arrest thc aense

MANY Of tie nien now absent are deseiicrs from
the army in the field, and not q few Of them, lued
by the bounty, have enlisted in the new oIsaniza-
tjons but their reimbursement, a. They viii be taught is
no excuse for their dcsortion aud all officers Of the
recently raised regiments knowing suca deserers 20
be in their ranks and not sending them bac. under
opard 10 their old commands will be held respon-
sible. Others Of those now abscn. are men WHO
were discharged from hospitals 10 return 70 Their
regiments, bat WHO have skulked to their BONES

punished as such.
Blu, there lis yet another class, aud one to which 10
mercy will be shown, namely: those who joined
new regiments recently, receiving tie enormous
bonnties given aud then descung before their req
nepts bad been placed in the field. The country has
suffered deeply from this latter clas, various States
haviug paid bounes for their full quotas while thei'
effective force reported headquarters Of tue army
ia still short by many Thousand Of the required mum

1t is said on high authority that The President on
hing recently shown by he Secretary OF War and
General-in Chief tic immense sts Of deserteIs and
roll calls Of aLtentees sieroly pledged himself here
after to pursue the most rigorous policy with these
offenders, aud that by executions, dismiseals, ball
and chain labor for the Whole term Of their enlist
uent. and other Of the seyerest penalties.
He is resolved TO deprive the Rebels Of the great
advantage they have heretofore enjoyed over US IN
the means necessary to preserve discipline and PIE
vent the crimes Of struggling, abseDteei'm and de-
sertous. In view Of these facts, the hope IL eX-
pressed that the public will continue itself great
moral police to expose and shame back TO duty all
officers and men who cannot prove inconestibiy thai
they have the authority required By army orders and
regulations, FOR their absence from their commands
