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.

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.

Special Fivlb Oboeus, 1 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.

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.
