General Orders.

1cucrdi Oru6rs.
Adjutdnt Generals Office, Washington,
July 3.-General Orders No. 209-lst. the at
tention of all persons in the military service Of
the United States. is called to Article I of the
cartel agreed upon July %, 1862, and publish
ed IN General Orders No. 142, Sept. rs, 1862.
According to the terms of this cartel. all CAP
lures must be reduced to actual possession.
ana all prisoners of war must be delivered at
the places designated, these to be exchanged
or paroled until exchange can be elected
The only exception allowed, is in the case of
commanders OF two opposing armies, who
were authorized to exchange prisoners, or re-
tease Ihem on parole at other points, mutually
agreed on by the said comman lers.
I'd. 1t is understood that captured officers
and men, have been paroled and released on
the field by others than commanders of oppos-
ing armies, and that the sick and wounded in
the hospitals have been so paroled and releas-
ed IN order to avoid guarding and removing
them, which, in many cases, would have been
impossible. Such paroles are in violation OF
General Orders, and the stipuations of the
cartel, aud are null and void. They are not re-
garded by the enemy, and will not be respect
ed in the armies of the United States,
Any officer Or soldier who gives such parole
will be returned to duty without exchange
and moreover, will be punished for dsobedi-
ence oil orders. 1t is the duty of captors to
guard his prisoners, and il, through necessity
or choice, he fails to do this, it is the duty of
prisoners TO return to the service of his Gov
eminent. He cannot avoid this duty by Civ
ing an authorized military parole.
Sd. military parole not to serve till ex-
changed must not be COMPOUNDED with parole
OF honor, to do or not TO do particular thing
not inconsistent with the duty of soldier.
Thus prisoner of war actually held by the
enemy may, In order to obtain exemption from
close guard or confinement, pledge his pa
role of honor that he will make no attempt TO
escape. Such pledges are binding upon indi-
viduais giving them, but they should seldom
be given or received, for it is the duty of
prisoner to escape if able to do so.
4th. The obligations imposed by the general
laws and usages of law upon the combatant
inhabitants of the section of country passed
over by an invading army, closes when mill
tary occupation ceases land any pledge or pa
role given by such persons, in regard to future
service, is null and of no effect.

% In the well-intended notice OF the dan
gerous illness of Mr. Villa, the pianist of Mr..
Myers Dramatic Company, at the City Hotel,
published yesterday morning, our local ed-
tor inadvertently committed an error. Mr..
V. is the son of wealthy parents, and is no OBJ
ject of charity; and even il he were in need of
aid. the members of the Company would not
allow the benevolence of our citizens to be APP
pealed to. His case appeals to our sympathies
1t is true, but simply on the ground that he is
stranger among strangers, with few in the
city who know his amiability and great per-

Situation of the two Armies.

BALTIMORE, July 3.
brief and candid statement of the situa-
ton up to this forenoon, is this: In We'd
nesday's tight, we were repulsed, simply be-
cause we were oyerpowered and out-flanked.
We fell back to the rear of Gettysburg, and
held that position. The action was not gener-
al and was not intended to be by Gen. Meade.
Ii was brought on by Gen. Reynolds. under
the impression that his force exceeded that of
the enemy.
There was no fighting yesterday until 40
p. Nj. A bloody engagement was then fought
lasting until dark, resulting in substantial sue
cess to our forces, they being reprlsed with
great loss. Neither Gems. Wadsworth, Van
Steinnichers nor Doubleday, are wounded.
At daylight this A. NJ. the battle was renew
ed. 1t was the determination OF our Gene
rails to fight TO the bitter eud.
The death of Longstreet is confirmed by
prisoners taken this A. NJ.
The rebel mail matter was captured. Among
the letters, it is reported, is letter from JEFF
Davis to Lee, saying he could send him no
no more troops, as Richmond was seriously
threatened.

When our mailing hands came to the Office at 8

sidewalks near the hall covered with the noble
fellows, fast asleep, with door-steps for pill
