_GENERAL SHERMAN"S ORDER ON HIS CONVENTION WITH GENERAL JOHNSTON._
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
In the Field, Raleigh, N.C., April 27, 1863.
SPECIAL FIELD ORDER, } NO. 65. }
The General Commanding announces a further suspension of hostilities and a final agreement with General Johnston, which terminates the war as to the armies under his command and the country east of the Chattahoochee.
Copies of the terms of convention will be furnished Major-Generals Schofield, Gillmore and Wilson, who are specially charged with the execution of its details in the Department of North Carolina, Department of the South, and at Macon and Western Georgia.
General Schofield will procure at once the necessary blanks, and supply the Army Commanders, that uniformity may prevail; and great care must be taken that the terms and stipulations on our part be fulfilled with the most scrupulous fidelity, whilst those imposed on our hitherto enemies be received in a spirit becoming a brave and generous army.
Army Commanders may at once loan to the inhabitants such of the captured mules, horses, wagons and vehicles as can be spared from immediate use; and the Commanding Generals of Armies may issue provisions, animals and any public supplies that can be spared, to relieve present wants and to encourage the inhabitants to renew their peaceful pursuits, and to restore the relations of friendship among our fellow-citizens and countrymen.
Foraging will forthwith cease, and, when necessity or long marches compel the taking of forage, provisions or any kind of private property, compensation will be made on the spot; or, when the disbursing officers are not provided with funds, vouchers will be given in proper form, payable at the nearest Military Depot.
By order of
MAJOR-GENERAL W. T. SHERMAN.

An exceedingly bright and cleverly written story; charmingly told; most especially felicitous in all that treats of southern character and life.

He knows his people and region thoroughly.--[_Chicago Times._

Most successful descriptive and character studies. Animated from the very first chapter; and once beginning, one can scarcely leave it.--[_New Orleans Bee._

The devotion of the old negro for his "chile" and the affection springing up between her and Wilmot Browne are the features of the book.--[_North American._
A highly exciting story of life, in widely differing circles. All of the bad characters are disposed of rapidly, but with a proper eye to effect.--[_New York Herald._
Just the thing for the car or hammock; a lively novel, introducing many odd characters in many odd situations of high and low life.--[_Minneapolis Housekeeper._
Well written and full of "situations," many of them wrought up to a point of thrilling interest. The many characters are drawn in natural colors.--[_Brooklyn Citizen._
Mr. DeLeon has written several novels which had a run; but this one surpa.s.ses any in cleverness of plot, thrilling situations and general interest.--[_Salt Lake Herald._
