der the new order Of things, which brings before a

ing them to desert, are also to be shot.
This mode Of creating dissatisfaction in the army,
through private letters, which is now resored to
very extensively, brings about more desertons than
all other causes combined. Hence the necessity
for these summary measures, which will result IN
great saving of life, as it is understood that the
future there is to be no departure from this rule.

great enthusiasm in North Carolina. The desire to
