ceptibly the surface OF the hard frozen ground.
No humane commander would W llingly briux
on battle in this atmosphere. The wounded
would suffer Tea fully; few after loss OF blood
could survive lying in the open air for three
hours. Warmth is the prime necessity Of the

GENERAL SUMNER on RESERVATIONS.
MajrT General Sumner, commanding right
grant! GiViS SION, has issued an order decI2rnc
that no designations of officers will hereafter be
accepted except upon surgeons certificate that

n n off ja.i rtY
designations rendered without these requisites
viii bt accepted, and q dishUnorable discharge
from the service granted, for being rendered in
the lace of The enemy.
This order was probably issued for the pur-
pose OF preventing, 10 some extent, III. Sandn 2

pretexts. Sometimes an officer who is refused
leave OF absence for a few days To 60 10 Wash
in toH, or home 10 sre his family and friends
or from some other cause, becomes little dis
satisfied and, under The influence OF these
feelings, sends forward his resignation. Others
again, disapprove, or affect to disapproye Of
TIE Presidents emancipation policy.
