square. Mr. Adams showed the prisoner the five
notes which I produce, and Mr. Gough showed him
the endorsement at the back of the bill. Mr. Adams
asked him if his name was Stokes how he came to
endorse the bill John Robinson. He asked him if
his name was Robinson, hut I did not hear if he
answered that question. He said he did not say
his name was Robinson. Mr. Gough said ho did
say so, and likewise signed John Robinson at the
back of the bill. I then took him to the office of
Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier, and ho was there
asked to explain the matter. 11c did not give any
explanation, and he was asked where Albert•street
was, and he said he did not know, he was a stranger.
The notes aro all five endorsed George Stokes, 11,
Cheapside, and he was asked what 11, Cheapside,was,
and he said it was an hotel. He was 'then given
into custody. I searched a satchel which he had at
the time, and in it I found ten Bank of 'England
notes for £5O, 25 for £2O, 40 for £lO, andt2o for
£5.

Mr, George Wolff Gough, cashier in the public
drawing office at the Bank of England, said—About
a quarter before 11 this morning the prisoner came
to me and presented the bill produced for payment.
I asked him what his name was, and he did not
answer at the moment. I repeated the question,
and he said, " Robinson." I asked him what his
Christian name was, and he said " Sohn." I then
gave him back the bill, which was not endorsed,
end asked him to endorse it, and he wrote at the
back of it, and he returned it to me endorsed as it
now appears. I asked him what he would have
for it, and he took from his pocket a small piece of
paper with a list of the notes he wanted, which
were the same as those found upon him. I passed
it to the next cashier, who paid it with the notes
produced, and the prisoner left the office. Shortly
after the prisoner had left, Mr. Adams came to me
to know if I had paid the five £lOO notes produced
that morning. I referred to the book and ascer-
tained that they had been given with others in
payment of the bill produced. I went with Mr.
Adams to the issue department, and there saw the
prisoner. I asked him if he had endorsed the bill
in the name of John Robinson, and he denied
that he had done so. I then left him with the
officers.

John Moss, detective, said—l was with Russell
this morning, and was present when the prisoner
was spoken to by Mr. Adams. The prisoner was
afterwards taken to Mr. Marshall's office, and I
asced him if he could give any explanation, and
be %hen replied that it was too bad to be treated
like Gat. I searched him, and found a pocket-
book omtaining £9O in Bank of England notes,
and £2 As. lid. in money. Since he has been in
custody at the Mansion-house he said he wished to
tell the whon truth, and he then told me his name
was not Georte Stokes but George Wilkin, and
that he did it, ma
• the devil tempted him.
The prisoner wh3 remanded.

THE CIVIL WAIL IN AMERICA

The following additionaidespatches are published
in the New York journals :

Waslington, August 8.
The Richmond Dispatch of Monday, the 4th,
says :

" A day of retribution is at hand for the outrages
which have so long characterised tie conduct of the
enemy in their prosecution of the wtio

" Adjutant and Inspector-Ge.eraPs Office,
Richmond, Aug. 1.
" GENERAL ORDERS, No. 54.

" 1. The following orders are pnblishea
for the
information and observance of all concerned :-_

" 2. Whereas by a General Order, dated SnT 22,
1862, issued by the Secretary of War of the United
States, under the orders of the United Statbi,
iwsmmandars of that

within the states of Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
and Arkansas, are directed to seize and use any
property, real or personal, belonging to the inhabi-

tants of this Confederacy, which may be necessary
or convenient for their several commands, and no
provision is made for any compensation to the
owners of private property thus seized and appro-
priated by the military commanders of the enemy.
" 3. And whereas by a General Order, No. 11,
issued on the 23d of July, 1862, by Major General
Pope, commanding the forces of the enemy in
Northern Virginia, it is ordered that all commanders
of any army corps, divisions, brigades, and detached
commands, will proceed immediately to arrest all
disloyal male citizens within their limits, or within
their reach in the rear of their respective commands.
Such as are willing to take the oath of allegiance to
the United States, and will furnish sufficient security
for its observance, shall be permitted to remain at
their homes and pursue in good faith their accus-
tomed avocations. Those who refuse shall be con-
ducted south beyond the extreme pickets of this
army, and be notified that if found again anywhere
within our lines, or at any point in the rear, they
will be considered as spies and subjected to the
extreme rigour of military law. If any per-
son, having taken the oath as above specified, be
found to have violated it, he shall be shot, and his
property seized and applied to the public use ;
"4. And whereas, by an order issued on the 13th
July, 1862, by Brigadier General A. Steinwehr,
Major William Steadman, a cavalry officer of his
brigade, has been ordered to arrest five of the most
prominent citizens of Page county, Va., to be held
as hostages, and to suffer death in the event of any
of the soldiers of the said Steinwehr being shot by
bushwackers ; by which term is meant the citizens
of the Confederacy who have taken up arms to de-
fend their houses and families ;
" 6. And whereas it results from the above order
that some of the military authorities of the United
States, not content with the unjust and aggressive
warfare hitherto waged with savage cruelty against
an unoffending people, and exasperated by the
failure of their efforts to subjugate them, have now
determined to violate all the rules and usages of
war, and to convert the hostilities hitherto waged
against armed forces with a campaign of robbery
and murder against unarmed citizens and peaceful
tillers of the soil ;
government, "6. And whereas, this bound by
the highest obligations of duty to its citizens, is
thus driven to the necessity of adopting such
just measures of retribution and retaliation as
shall seem adequate to repress and punish these
barbarities; and whereas the orders above recited
have only been published and made known to this
government since the signature of a cartel for the
exchange of prisoners of war, which cartel, in so
far as it provides for an exchange of prisoners
hereafter captured, would never have been
signed or agreed to by this government if the in-
tention to change the war into a system of indis-
criminate murder and robbery had been made known
to it ; and whereas, a just regard to humanity for-
bids that the repression of crime which this govern-
ment is thus compelled to enforce should be unne-
cessarily extended to retaliation on the enlisted men
in the army of the United States, who may be the
unwilling instruments of the savage cruelty of their
commanders, so long as there is hope that the ex-
cesses of the enemy may be checked or prevented by
retribution on the commissioned officers, who have
the power to avoid guilty action by refusing ser-
vice under a government which seeks their aid in
the perpetration of such infamous barbarities—
" 7. Therefore, it is ordered that Major-General
Pope, Brigadier-General Steinwehr, and all com-
missioned officers serving under their respective
commands, be, and they are, hereby expressly and
specially declared to be not entitled to be considered
as soldiers, and therefore not entitled to the benefit
of the cartel for the parole of future prisoners of war.
" Ordered, further, that in the event of the cap-
ture of Major-General Pope or Brigadier-General
Steinwehl, or of any commissioned officer serving
