TUB SOLDIER BOY’S DREAM.
Under the starlight the camp fires bnmed lowj
And the zephyrs breathed eo’t over river and
field,
The aagel of night wrapped the lines of the foe,
And the soldier boy slept on his banner and
Shield.
He dreamed of his home and his friends far away,
Os the cot and the streamlet that sung at the
door:
Os the mountains, whose crags caught the morn
ing’s flrd ray,
And all the fond soenes of his childhood lived
o’er.
On memory's still wings came the visions of
youth,
And the loved ones who bade him God-speed
and adieu;
And the mother whose prayer filled with wisdom
and trntm
Greets her boy in that dreamland, her joy to
renew.
The snowy-locked father once more clasps his
hand,
And through tears of rejoicing gives thanks
unto God; » ’
Pond sisters embrace him with love unrestrained,
But he misses the brother who sleeps ’neath
the son.
See l His vision is ended, he starts from his
dreams,
As the war-bugle’s notes echo forthon the night:
With firm hand and heart grasps the banner that
gleams
Through the flashes of battle and smoke of the
fight.
Onward and upward that banner he bore„
Till the crash of the conflict now over and past,
And the foeman, defeated, and flying before,
In fear seeks a refuge in flight quick and fast.
The struggle is o’er, he again seeks his couch.
But the dream-sleep no longer his heavy lids
keep;
For his besom hath* marks of the bullets dread
touch,
He blesses his banner, and In God fails asleep.

The Late Incevdiarx Plot—Arrests
v>j* Suspicion. —During the last few days
four arrests have been made of persons
suspected of being concerned in the re
cent idol to bum the city. The first and
probably the most important is thq noto
iious Captain Bell, the leader in the raid
on Lake Erie. The name by which he
was known at the time of his arrest was
Baker- He bolds a commission as cap
tain in the Confederate service. Ke was
arr. «ted ne-ar Suspension Bridge, with a
companion who is also said to be in the
Confederate service. They had just
come trom Buffalo, and had with them a
carpetbag with several candles. It, is

confined in Fort Lafayette.

Whenever refugees from within the Rebe{
linen, or deserters from the Rebel armies, pre
sent themselves at U. 8. Damps or Military
Posts, they will be immediately examined by the
Provoßt Marshal with a view to determine their
character, and their motive in giving themselves
up. If it appear that they are honest in their in
tention of forever deserting the Rebel cause, care
will be taken to explain to them that they will
not be forced to serve in the U. 8. Army against,
the Rebels, nor be kept in confinement. The
President’s Proclamation of December 8, ISO3.
will be read to them, and if they so desire, the
oath therein prescribed will be administered to
them.* * They will then be questioned as to
whether they desire employment firom the Uni
ted States; and if so, such arrangements as may
be expedient will be made by the several Army
Commanders for employing them on Govern
ment works within their commands. Those who
come to the Army of the Potomac will be for
warded to the Military Governor of the District
of Columbia, at Washington, with reports in
their cases, that employment may be g ven them
if desired; or, if not, that they may be sent as far
North as Philadelphia.

No. 13. /
The Department oi the South having been
placed within the sphere of this com in anil, and
it being highly desirable that an uniform potiev
prevail touching commerce and intercourse with
the inhabitants of the South, the following gen
eral rules and principles -will be adhered to un
less modified by law or the orders of the War
Department:
L Commerce with foreign nations cannot be
permitted or undertaken until the national au
thority is established to an extent that will give
the necessary courts and officers to control aud
qjanage such matters. Trade will be confined to
a mere barter and sale proportioned to the ne
nessary wants of the army, and of the inhabi
tants dependant on it for the necessities of life,
and even that trade must be kept subject to strict
military control or surveillance.
11. Trade stores will be permitted at Eeanfort,
Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina. St.. Augus
tine and Jacksonville, in all the > Hides of food
and clothing, groceries, ladies and ehilden goods
generally, end articles not contraband of war.
111. TotrJde is a privilege, and "no person
will be allowed to buy and Sell for profit unless
he be a citizen of the United States, and sub
scribe to any legal oath or obligation that is ov
may fee prescribed by law; and at points threat
ened by an enemy, the officer commanding may
further exact as a condition, that the trader shall
himself engage to seive, in some military ca
pacity, to aid in the defence of the place.
IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to
the commanding officer of the Post and obtain
his written consent, specifying the kind, nature
and extent of the trade, and when, fie requires
importations from northern cities he will in like
manner apply for his remur. The commanding
officer cf the Post way appoint some good officer
to supervise these matters, who Mill frequently
inspect the stores, and when*there is r.ot suffi
cient competition wiil fix the prices of sale.—
These stores will in like manner be subject to
the supervision of the Commanding General of
the Department of the South by himself or an
inspector General.
V. In order that purchases maybe made with
economy, the commanding officer of each Post
will make reports of his action in regard to
trade, witji the names of traders, amounts of
goods desired for sale, &c., to the commanding
general of the department who will, ii< like
manner, make full reports to the Secretary of
the United States Treasury, to the end that be
may instruct the collectors of ports from which
shipments are expected as to the necessary per
mits and clearances. It being utterly impracti
cable tha h general commanding military oper
ations sh'uia give his personal attention to such
matters, it is desirable that as much power as
possible should be delegated to Post command-,
era, and they should be held to the strictest ac
count that no trade is permitted injurious to the
military interests of the United States.
VI. Sales of eotion wiH be restricted absolutely
to the United States Treasury agents, and no
title in cotton or bill of sale will be respected
until after the cotton is sold at New York
Country people having small lots of cotton are
permitted to bring the same in to be exchanged
for food and clothing for their families. The
Quartermaster will set aside a store or ware
house, to wbich each wagon bearing cotton w ill,
after entering the military lines, proceed direct,
where an agent of the Treasury Department will
receive ar.d weigh'the same, and pey for it the
price fixed in the Bth section of the Act of Con
gresfc, approved July 2, 18(14, viz: three-fourths
the value of cotton as quoted in the New York
market; and the Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby requested to make appointments of
agents to carry out the provisions of said act at
the posts of Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernandi
na Bnd Jacksonville.
Sf VII. In order that the duties hereby imposed
on commanding officers of Posts may not be
neglected or slighted by the changes incident to
rank ami changes of troops, the Commanding
General of the Department of the South will ajv
point a special officer to command at each of
>taid Posts, with a small garrison, not to be
changed without his order; and when other
troops, commanded by a senior, are added or ar
rive, the command of the poet will not change,
but Ihe additional troops will be encamped near
by and act according to special instructions.

aggravated cases retaliation will extend as high
as five for one. All commanding officers will set
