February IL, 1865. !
In entering upon the campaign about to
open, the General. in Chief feels assured
that the soldiers who have so long and so
nobly borne the hArdships and dangers of
the war, require no exhortation to re-
spond to the calls of honor and duty.
With the liberty transmitted by their
forefsthers they have Inherited the spirit
TO defend it.
The choice between war aud abject sub
mission is before them.
Z To such q proposal brave men, with
arms in their hands, can have but one an-
swer. u
They cannot barter manhood for peace,
nor the right of self-government for life or
property. go
But justice to them requires sterner
admonition to those who have abandoned
their comrades in the hour of peril.
A last opportunity is offered them to
wipe out the Disgrace and escape the pun
ishment of their crimes. f.t..
By authority of the President of the
Confederate States, pardon is announced
to such deserters and men improperly absent
as shall return to the commands to which
they belong within the shortest possible
time, not exceeding twenty days from the
publication Of this order, at The hesdquar.

Ex-senator Foote'S Visit to New York
The Sc Oniate" OF the
SOuth-mr. Foote'S Views of the SIT
uHtIOn In the South.
From the New York World.
During his short stay in New York, ex-
Senator Foote had several interviews with
gentlemen of this city, his former friends
and aCquaintances. In the course of the
conversation, which was conducted on his
part with his usual warmth of feeling, he
expressed his views as to the actual condI-
ton of the confederacy and its future pros
poets His opinions, if they are not enti.
tied to full confidence, have an interest
which, think, commends them to the at
tention of the public.
Tue most important of Mr.. Foote'S state
meuts is, that there is in the South a con.
siderable party of secessionists who are
now ready to abandon their views and doc
trines, if they could see way to come
back into the Union without prejudice to
their honor and interests. These men are
tired of the war, tired of the useless sacri
fees they have made, tired of the despot-
ism under which they live, and would
gladly embrace the first opportunity to
throw off the yoke, if the terms offered to
them were such as would not, in their opin-
ion, bring humiliation aud shame upon
their names. They formed the nucleus of
the peace party which caused JEFF. Davis
to send three peace commissioners to the
North, and would have compelled him to
make peace, had the conditions proposed
by Mr.. Lincoln been in the least degree &C.
ceptable.
So strong is Mr. Foote'S belief iu the
power of the peace men in the South,
whom he calls "the recoustructionists," ;"
that he wrote to Mr.. Seward in order to
kaow if, in the last interview at Fortress
Monroe, MIR. Lincoln had given his uLtima-
tum, and if better and more reasonable cons
ditions could not be made to the South by
the Federal Government. In that case Mr..
Foote bound himself to go back to the
South and to rally the peace party, the re-
coustructionists, in support of the Uuion
1t appears that Mr.. Seward did not deem it
proper to satisfy Mr.. Foote on that sub.
jeCt, for he said to his friends that the au.
sWer of the Secretary of State was unsatis.
factory.
Being questioned upon the power of re-
sistance of the South, the ex.rebel senator
said that in all probability Charleston,
Wilmington, Richmond, and Mobile would
be evacuated, for there were not men
enough in the South to fight the northern
armies on as equal terms as they bad hith-
erto done. Still he did not believe that
the evacuation of these cities would be the
signal of the caving in of the confederacy,
which, he said, could resist for several
years to como. OF course, left to herself
and without assistance from abroad, she
was bound to perish; but the hour of her
death was very remote.
Mr.. Foote left for Europe Saturday last
with the intention of acting as a voluntary
diplomat toward foreign powers. His idea
is to induce Eugland aud France to act -as
mediators in the present conflict, and to
stop, if he can, the shedding of blood on
both sides.

The advantages Of the enemy will have

firm assurance that He who gave freedom

LEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE DISCIPLINE OF
HIS ARMY Is GREATLY IMPAIRED
GENERAL oRDERs-Ho. 3.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMIES OF CoEY1DRRArE STATES
Feb. IL, 1865. /
Tile discipline and efficiency Of the Grmy
hare been greatly impaired by men leaving
their proper commands to join others in
which they find service more agreeable.
This practice, almost as injurious in it's
as the crime of desertion, by
the 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 provi-
sions of General Order No. 2 of this date,
from army headquarters, apply to such
men as have left their proper commands
and Joined others without being regularly
transferred. They will receive the pardon
promised in that order upon complying
with its conditions, or suffer the conse-
quences attached to neglecting it.
The names of such sbsentees will be
forthwith reported to these headquarters
by the officers with whom they are serving,
and immediate measures taken to return
them to their proper commands.
AS soon as practicable an inspection will
be made, and charges will be preferred
against those who neglect to enforce this
order: R: E. LEE, General.

Modestv and MART

AT the beginning OF the rebellion, mem
Der of Congress called on Governor Yates Of
Illinois to Introduce to him Mr. Grant as a
person tor some military position. The gov
ernor asked on what grounds he made the APP
plication.
8 was educated at West Point, said Grant.
at the country's expense served 10 Mex
100, and when | went out to Oregon, / thought
had returned to the country an cquiya ent
for my education; SO | resigned. The coun-
try is now in trouble, aud wish to serve her
in her need
Gov, Yates had no appointment for him.
and he therefore left A short time after this
occurrence, the governor was very much dis
tressed in regard to tho raising Of the quota
of the State. He had plenty OF offers for oiG.
GERS positions but be personally did not know
the mlnutle of regimental organizations, aud
asked the representative if that plain little
man to whom he had been introduced knew
any thing OF those mattors2 The representa-
tive replied by bringing Grant into the gov
errors presence.
Do you understand the organization of
troops inquired the governor
The reply was 10 the affirmative.
Will you accept desk in my office for
that purpose was the next question.
Any thing to servo my country was
Grants reply.
And to work he at once went; aud but for
this, Grant might still be unknown TO tho
world. Is his energy Illinois became noted
or the speed with which she filled her quota.
When the Twenty. first Illinois volunteers
were organized, fne-ooking man was cho-
sen by the company officers as the colonel
but having no military capacity, the regiment
Tell into disorder, and became the terror of
the neighborhood where it was encamped.
The governor refused to commission the NOM
lnee of the regiment, aud asked Grant il he
thought he could bring the turbulent mass to
order ii he were appointed the colonel Grant
thought he could. Half an hour afterwards
an application was made to the governor to
send regiment TO Quincy, one hundred and
twenty miles distant; but the trouble with the
governor was not the want of men. but the
lack OF transportation.
Send NY regiment said Grant and
will lind the Transportation
The command was given, and before night
the regiment was under orders to march. GA
foot the regiment was transported to Quincy
and when the men were encampcd, they were
reported as belonging to one OF the best dis.
cIphnod regiments OF Illinois volunteers. Tho
