Col. B. B. Bouldin of the revenue office here has found among some old papers a valuable document. It is the general order Issued to the army of Northern Virginia on- the day after the surrender at Appomatox. It is written on one side of a sheet of blue paper which' is very much wora in places. The order bears the auto graph signature of General Lee aud is unquestionably genuine. Col. Bouldin thinks it probable that it is the origi nal order. If not the original it is a copy duly signed. The indications however are that it is the original in which case it is very valuable. The order was found among some old pa pers belonging originally to the family of Mrs. Bouldin.- . Col. Bouldin naturally prizes the paper very highly and an attempt will probably be made to determine wheth er or not it is the original order. DIVINE SERVICES.
