PUNISHMENT IN THE ARMY.

We are glad to see that Congress has pro
hibited the whipping of soldiers in the army.
We make the following extract from recent
general order by Adjutant General Cooper:
'The following acts have been Gully approx
ed by the President are published for the in>
formation of all concerned.
San act to prohibit the punishment of sol.
diers by whipping"
The Congress of the Confederate States Of
America do enact, that from and after the pas
sage of this act, it shall not be lawful for any
court martial o. military court to cause any
soldier in the service cf the Confederate States
to be punished by whipping or the infiiction of
stripes upon his person and that all laws and
customs contravening the provisions OF this
act be, and the same are hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. That article 90 Of the Articles OF
War be so amended as to read as follows: A II
officers and soldiers who have received pay or
have been duly enlisted in the service of the
Confederate States, and shall be convicted Of
having deserted the same, shall suffer death or
confinement in a Penitentiary, with or without
hard labor, for a period not less than one year
or more than FIVE, or such other punishment
not nconsistant with the provisions Of this act
ss the court martial or military court may de-
termine. Approved April 13, 1868.

lne support of the army is paramount to every
other consideration. Men cannot be expected
to continue in the field and perform the hard
duties of a soldier without necessary supplies
and 1t, by our neglect, ,hey should be compel
led to abandon the post OF duty and danger
they now occupy, our cause will be lost-irre,
coveraoty lost. This is plain proposition,
and easy of comprehension. If there are sup.
