The artisans recently called out.

--It is a matter of pride to reflect with what zeal and enthusiasm our artisans and mechanics throughout the country have responded to that call of duty which has taken them to the field. The approach of the enemy has ever found them ready for service. We are pleased to learn that the policy of the Government will be likely hereafter to confine their services chiefly to the workshops, where their labors are obviously most appropriate and most valuable.

The General Orders lately issued calling all to the field will be so executed as to retain workmen in their proper places — in the arsenals and workshops of the Confederacy.
