In entering upon the campaign about ts cpen,
General-in-Chief feels assured that the soldiers who have
so long and so nobly borse the hardships and dangers of
the war. require no exhortation to respond to the calls
of honor and duty.
With the liberty transmitted by hcir forefathers, they
htve inherited the spirit to defend it.
The choice between war and aVJect submission is be
fore them. . . . f
To such a proposal, brave men with arms ,in their
hands can have but one answer.
They cannot barter manhood for peace, cor the right
of e-if-government for life or prcperty.
But justice to them requires a sterner admonition to
those who have abandoned their comrades in the hour of
peril, j
A last opportunity is offered them to wipe out the dis
grace and escape the punishment of their cringes.
By authority of the President of the Confederate
States, a pardon is announced to such deserters and mn
improperly absent ss shall return to the commicd) to
wh'ch they beIongwitijin ihe shortest possible time, not
exceeding twerty days from the publication ofthisoider,
at the headquarters of the deparuntntln which they may
be. j j '
. Those who may be prevented by interruption of com
mur.icatiens, may report within the time specified
to the nearest enrolling officer or other officer on duty,
to b fot warded as soon as practicable, and upon pre
rsnting a certificate from such officer showing compli
ance with this requirement, will receive the pardon here
by offered.
Thocs who have deserted to the etrvice of the en my,
or who htve deserted after having been once pardoned
for the same offence, and those who shall desert, or ab
lest themselves without authority after the publication
of this order, are ex eluded from if a benefits. Nor does
the effor of pardon extend to other offeccee than deeer
tion and abeonce without permission.
By the same authority, it is also declared that no gen
