PHILADELPHIA, May 4--Tha Inquirer has
the following special dispatch from Baltimore

the rebel army, and only a few days from
Richmond, who took the oath of allegiance
He was born in Virginia. has been in the
rebel army three years, and seen much ser.
vice. he saw Longstreet and his whole army
in Richmond some weeks ago, has heen all
through Lees Notifications, and thinks them
impregnab!e from a front attack. He says
the whole strength of Lees present army iS
not ever 10000.
The rebel officers and leaders pretend to
be sanguine OF success, but the rank and Gle
are disheartened, and less hopeful The reb.
el cavalry horses are nearly starved, and un
able to endure fatigue. Only the fear OF being
shot prevents thousands Of rebel priyates
from deSertiDg They all want peace on any
terms. Lee fears most an attack in the rear,
and being outasnked.
Evident preparations we're seen at Rich.
mond for removing the archives, and civil
officials further South. The whole city is in
terrible state Of commotion. My informant
saya that Lees Notifications extend many
miles back from his present position on the

The commanding General has learned that
Notwithstanding the caution contained in
General Orders No %, Of April 25th, 1864,
from these headquarters, there are men in
the army who refuse to do duty, on the
grounds that their term Of service has eK.
pirsd. IL will be made known to such men
that their conduct being open mutiny they
will bs punished with death without trial, un.
less they return to duty. And hereafter any
soldier who refuses to do duty on a similar
plea, will instantly be shot, without form Of
trial whatever The honor OF the service and
the necessities Of the hour admit Of no other
disposition OF such cases.
The commanding General again expresses
the hope that the soldiers Of this army will
respectfully ask for and cheeriully abide by
the decision Of the War Department with re-
spect to their term Of service; but he has no
further word or warning for those, who 1t
times like the present, choose to defy author.
