my advice the stern visitations OF war will be
meted out to rebels and their allies. / shall then
be convinced that yonr arming for protection is a
sham, and rest assured that traitors, when caught
shall receive a traitors doom. The cup Of mercy
has been exhausted. Treason hereafter, will be
treated as treason. The massacre of women and
children by blackhearted traitors, and the recent
burning Of bridges Of the Hannibal and St. Joseph

trate crimes which devils would shudier to commit
They shall be blotted from existence and sent to

New YoRK, Sept. 25.-The Tribune's Washing

| a message was received last Sunday by a lady il
Washington from the Colonel of the Ninth Virginia
| Regiment now at or near Munson's Hill. From
| the nature of this message it would appear that
the rebel Generals still hold out the prospect of
attack on Washington to their followers, probably
fearing to acknowledge, as yet, the abandonment
| Of thar intention. The Virginia Colonel sent dis
tinct word that he would be iniWashington OF
Sunday next, and the circumstances forbid the
possibility Of his making any such announcement
without being himself convinced Of its truth. Thi
simply shows that officers of considerable rank il
the rebel army are still made victims of DAVIS AM
