Restored to office.

--A surgeon of one of the regiments of Gen. Lee's army was recently broken of his commission and placed under arrest for disobedience of orders and malpractice. The latter consisted of cutting off a soldier's leg when there was no apparent necessity. Reporting to the court-martial now sitting here, for trial, he was discharged, and restored to his office after a laborious investigation. An admonition was delivered on the necessity of obeying orders, even when you do not coincide in their correctness.
