The work of disbanding the army and
restoring the country to the peace status
is being rapidly pushed forward. The
Secretary of War has directed the imme-
diate discharge Of all volunteer cavalry
men in the various military departments
whose terms of enlistment expire prior to
October next. An order was also yester-
day issued from the War Department for
the immediate mastering out of the mill
tary service of all volunteer officers and
enlisted men within the Department Of
Washington whose terms will expire on or
before the 31st of this month.
Lieut. Gen. Grant has officially directed
that all the paroled rebel souiers now
detained at alexandria. Va. be imme-
diately sent to their homes. Those whose
former residences were in the loyal States
will be required, before being permitted to
return thither. to take the oath of ale
glance to the Government.
During the week ending May ., there
wele 472 deaths in New York CITY, amin
rease of thirty-fve as compared with the
mortality of the week previous, and thirty
seven less than occurred during the cor
responding week last yeai.
, The rate at which the Government seven
and three-tenths per cent. loan (says the
ReralD is now being absorbed IS wonder
full. On Tuesday, the subscriptions amount
ed to over 100000, and yesterday they
reached to over l7.OO0,O0O.
Five guerilla captains, who have been
at work on the Upper Mississippi, have
concluded It is no use to continue their
business, and have accordingly kpocked
off, after giving good advice to the people
thereabouts.

Owl, Capt. Maffit, arrived at Havana from
Galveston on the 9th instant and the
steamship Imogene from the same place,
with 1000 bales of cotton, had reached
Matanzas. The rebel leaders in Texas and
Western Louisiana were still, at the date
of the latest accounts, proclaiming by
public meetings and addresses their deter
mination to continue the war, notwith-
standing the failure Of their cause East of
the Mississippi. Gen. Magruder made a
speech on the oath ult., in which he an.
nounced that he could see nothing discou-
raging for the rebels in the military situa-
tiou, and mysteriously limited that they
had "a ne!ghbor near at hand" regarding
whom he did mot feel at liberty to say
anything farther" ut that time. Old
Sterling Price, Of Missouri, and General
uindman, Of Arkansas, are both said 10
