the prediction uh'c5 we make! We may safely pre-

HKADQ'Rs ARMY NORTHERN VIRGINIA, !
OHAMBERsBUkG, Pa, June 81, 1868. {

GENERAL ORDERS,
No 70.
The Commanding General has observed with marked
satisfaction the conduct Of the troops on the march,
and confidently anticipates results commensurate with
the high spirit they have manifested.
No troops could have displayed greater fortituds
better performed the arduous marches Of the past ten
DAYS.
Their conduct in other respects has with few excep-
ton, been in keeping with their character as soldiers
and entities them to appreciation and praise.
There have however, been instances of forgetfulness
on the part Of that they have in keeping the yet
unsuled reputation of this Army and that the duties
exacted Of us by civilization and Christianity are not
less obligatory in the country of the enemy than IN
own.
The Commanding General considers that no greater
disgrace could befa the Army, and through It, our
whole people, than the preparation of the baIbarous
outTages upon the uuarmed and defenceless and the
walton destruction of private property, that have
marked the course OF the enemy n our own country.
Such proceedings not only degrade the perpetrators
ard all connected with them but subversive of the
dis pine and efficiency Of the Army and destructive
of>the ends of our present movement.
II must be remembered that we make war only upon
armed men, and that cannot take vengeance Tor the
wroags our people have suffered without lowering our
selves in the eyes Of all whose adherence has been eA
cited by the atrocities of our enemies, and onenas
against Hin 10 whom vengeance beongetn, wlIno =.
whose favor and support efforts must all prove LII
vain.
The Commanding General therefore earnestly eIeors
