ot tne ablest nuancial writers in th.s or any other coun

For reasons not now proper to be mentioned, we for
bear to give the names of those who'shall ccmpo?e the

they shall appear they will be found to constitute suoh '
an army ot talent as cannot be excelled on this continent.
The well known character of the .'ndividual whose

es, we presume, a guarantee that, in all that' relates to
important political speeches and debates, whether in
legislative assemblies or out of them, the HERA.LD
will present advautages certainly not to be excelled by
any paper In the Confederacy.
The farming interests will be faithfully vindicated, and
care taken to disecminate the earliest intell'gerce wbicH
a proper regard for the welfare of that great element of
national wealth an power ehall demand.
In the matter of correct commercial intelligence, equal
zeal shaU be mauifes ed, our object being to assign to

Arrangements are cn foot by which to secure the 'ear

No., 2. J I.
In entering upon the-campa'gn about t cpen, the
General-lifb'tief feels assured that the soldiers woo have
so long ail eo nobly borte the hardships and dangers of
the war, raiire no exhortation to respond to the oalls
of honor aid duty.
With'th liberty transmitted by hcir forefathers, they
nave inherited the spirit to defend it. '
The cho.'ce between war and abject submission is be
fore them.
To such a-'proposal, brave men with armain their
hands can have but one alswer.
They can tot barter manhood for peace,' nor the right
of self-government for life or property.
But justice to them requires a sterner admonition to
those who have abandoned their comrades in the hour of
peril.
A last opportunity is offered them to wipe out the dis
grace and escape the punishment of their crimes.
By authority of tbe President of the Confederate
States, a, pardon is announced to such deserters and men
improperly absent as ehall return to the commands to
which they belong within the shortest possible time, not
exceeding twenty days tiom the publication of this cider;
at the headquarters ot tho departlknt in which they may
be.
Those who may be prevented by interrnption'of com
munications, .may report, within the time specified
to tbe nearesi enrolling officer or other officer on duty,
to b forwarded as eoon as practicable, and upon pre
senting a certificate from such officer showing compli
ance with this requirement, will leceive the pardon here
by offered. :
Those who have deserted to the service of the enemy,
or who hve deserted after ha vie g been once pardoned
for the same offence, and those wno shall desert, or ab
sent themaelvis without authority after the publication
of this order, are excluded from i s benefits.-Xor does
the tffcr of pardon extend to other offences than deser
tion and ab'ence without permission.
By tbe sime authority, it is also declared that no gen
eral amnesty will, sgein bc granted, Jand those who

No. 8. f !
The discipline and efficiency of the army have beea
greatly impaired by men leaving their proper com.
manda to join others, in which they find service more
agreeab'e.
This practice, almost as h jorious in it consequences
s the crime of desertion, by tne Articles of War. ex
poses tbe offatder to a similar punishment, and subjects
the-c fficer receiving him to dismissal from the army.
It is therefore declared that the provisions of General
Order, No. 2, of this date, f'om army headquartern,
apply to such men as have lef; their proper command
and joined others without being regularly transfe'rd.
They will receive the parddu promised in tht order,
upon complying with Its conditions, or euffjr th "c-ns
quevces attached to neglecting it.
The - camea of such absemets will he forthwith re
ported to lbc83 heacqaarters by toe officers with whom
they are servirg, and immediate measures taken to re
turn them to their prcper commands.
As soon as practicaole. an Inspection will be madel and
charges will be preferred agauist thase who ceg'e t to
enforce this order. ! R. E. LEE, General.
