BUcKNER AT NAcu1ToCHEs,
Late ad.ices from Nachitoches show that
Lleut. Gen. Buchncr has lately established
his headquarters there, in Command of fhe
apartment 81 West Louisiana. Upon com
1nE TO this place be issued an order of an
nesty TO deserters from his command. TooInr
Inem by Kindly promises to return to duty. |
From admissions liz makes 1t stands forth
PATIENTLY that the number Of these is ]arre.
and that many have been shot lately by Els |
orders. Uc promises all who 'are ia Louisi- |
ma that r they will return to duty by tho |
lst Of March, and all who are IN Texas. by
Tue 18th Ct April, they will receive fun and
themselves, but the fattcd calf, and tlev shall
III have some new calfskin shoes. But he
adds in conclusion, 'sThere will be no re-
taxation in the pursuit Of desertcrs in conse-
auence Of the offer OF pardon above extended:

ssee then hen and 0g them
they will be tried By court marshal. md If
found guilty will be shot to death. The par-
don Is extended only to those who viii yol.
unfairly give themselves up."
ltappeare, further, that since the establish
ment there Of Buckner's headquarters, irnde,

quite lively. There were as many as four
steamboats, at the wharf at one time. There
ave been tremendous rains in those regions
or the two or three weeks past. They have
