men leaving their proper commands to join

This practice, almost as injurious in its con-

Articles Of War, exposes the offender to a
similar punishment, and subjects the officer
receiving him to dismissal from the army.
1t is therefore declared that the provisions
of General Order No. 2, of this date, from ar
my headquarters, apply to such lncn as have
left their proper commands and join Others

throughout the Southern Confedcracy. It's a
somewhat remarkable fact, that although Gen.

Sheridan, (thc same who is now. Hounderng
in the rcd mud of the Nirginis highlands,) was
met at TreviIian's Depot, last May, and terri
l,lv threshed Aud what rendered the victory
more important, is the fact. that according to
the uniform statement of Northern Journals, 1t
was the most formidable mounted expedition
that the Yankee Government had ever organ-
izcd and started upon its elrand of robbery
and destruction I)isposing Of this raid, We

In the practical operation of rules,
regulations concerning commercial In
tercourse with insurrection States,
known as the series of May 9th, 1865. all
officers acting Hereunder are directed to
cause as little annoyance as possible to
parties interested in such commercial ill.,
tercOurse, and otherwise to carry out the
purpose of the executive in removing all
the restrictions upon such commerce,
that the most liberal construction OF the
law will permit, inasmuch as the militia
ry lines of occupation in the district west
of the Mississippi river have not been ex.
tended nor the trade Herewith affected
by the proclamation of the President OF
April Doth, 1865, the regulations of July
29th, 1864, are still in force, so far as ap-
pliable to the territory west OF the Mis-
sissippi -..- '--
Bv the third section of the regulations
of May 9th, necessity for applications to
this Department for permits or authority
to clear goods for any port of the insur-
rectionary States East of the Mississippi,
either coastwise or inland is obviated,
and consequently no such permits or au.
thorities will be issued. Collectors and
Others are directed to clear all goods not
specially declared contraband by the ri
section of said regulations, while all such
shipments must be under the supervision
of an officer of the Customs, where there
are such, or other officers, to prevent the
transportation of any articles declared
contraband of war No permit fee will
he charged, except such as may be pre-
scribed by law for the entrance or clear
ance of vessels
When cotton, the product of an insur.
rectionary State, having been sold and
resold by a purchasing act of the Gov
ernment, is offered for shipment, no duty
OF other fee will he charged.
In consequence of there being no in
ternal revenue Office at the post or place
of shipment, the officer supervising the
shipment must collect such internal rev.
enue due thereon. Or if the party ship
ping is unable to pay such internal rev.
enue, the tax on the article must be con
signed to the collector of customs at the
post of destination of the vessel. and il
the bills of lading and the manifest ot
the vessel exhibit the fact that such in
ternal tax has not been paid, on the ar

Corruption in New OrIeans-NeRotia :
tions between Kirby Smith and Max.

New YORK, May 1s-The Comercial's
Washington special says James T. Brady,
one of the commissioners appointed to
investigate into the reported corruption
in New Orleans, has arrived here, and
his report will show sad condition of
affairs in that city. Some high names
are implicated The Posts special says
it is known that the Emperor Maxmil-
liam and the rebel Kirby Smith, have
recently been in negotiations. 1t is no lon
ger expected that Smith will surrender
without fighting.
1t is thought that witness will be pro-
duced in the conspiracy trial this after,
noon to identify Payne as the man who
attacted Secretary Seward and to show
that Booth and O'Laughlin had mystic,
rious correspondence Mrs. Surratt ap-
pears to be broken down, and OLaughlin
seems scarcely able to hold his head up
since the production Of evidence which
duplicates him.
Nearly all of Gen Sherman's troops are
