GUERILLA WARFARE.-Halleck's In
ternational Law lays down that "the
taking of property, by the guerilla or
partisan forces, in offensive hostilities,
is not legitimate act, authorized BY
the law of nations, but robbery. So
also. the killing ofan enemy by such
forces, except in self-defence. is not an
act of war, but murder. The perpe-
traitors Of such acts, under such circum
stances, are not enemies, legitimately,
in arms. who can plead the laws OF war
in their justification, but they are ROBBERS
md naxrdersrs, and as such can be pun
shed. Their acts are unlawful; and
then captured, they are not treated al
uisoners Of war, but as criminals, sub
jet tolhe punishment due their crimes,
Hence in modern warfare, partisan anC
guerill. bands are regarded as outlaws,
ami, Wien captured, may be punished
as Freeb,oters and banditti."

TELL US THE REASON WHY.
U. S. MILITARY HOSPITAL,
I.111poL1s. O.. Aug. 1s, 1862.

I
GALLIPoLIs, O.. Aug. Is, 1862.
EDs. CoM.:-Will you, or some one
who knows, tell US the reason why it is
that, despite all orders, men who are
unfit for duty must be detained in hos
pilals one weary month after another,
until all the patience they ever had is
entirely worn out? There are now in
this hospital fifty or more of us who
have been in hospitals from three to ten
months, and have been for months
pronounced bopelessly unfit for service;
and of lives, that Of hospital imprison-
ment is the most unendurable. Sus-
pended between camp, with its duties
and sports, on the one hand, and home,
with its associations and pleasures, on
the other, we are halted between two
(not opinions) plaees--no life, no joke,
nothing new. nothing pleasant: one
unendiDg, dresry. loathsome, unbear-
able monotony, subject to the oppres-
sions and insults OF all the petty, brain
less lick spittles who crowd themselves
into positions. from ward master to
water-closet walters.
This country Is full of fruits and all
kinds OF vegetables that are pleasant to
the eye and good to the taste, and yet
We slways 6nd the same unchsnging
fare at table. Il is true that now and
then some good soul does bring some
thing new and good, but the rules for
bid that they should be brought farther
than the Office Of the Steward; and
from that Office to our table there is no
means Of transportation.
Can it be possible that our great,
good. and msgnanimous Government
has determined to punish its servants
because they have become cripples, or
their physical constitutions could not
bear the hardships and exposures oi
camp life? or is it the policy of 6end-
ish agents Of the Government to drag
and grind out what little liieis left, that
they may have the pleasure Of burying
The dead out Of their sight?
II sny man can give US the reason
uhy. in the name Of our good country,
| in The name Of Christianity, 10 the
! name Of God. snd for .he sake Of hu-
manity, we do sdjurs him to tell US,
that we may have rest for our weary
minds for time, n lesat, and feel that
We do know he rsdecn sky. C.

her house wifery, for the bfesd was 1.
right as the butter. The old lady said
her health was feeble; she cos7a do b.

sgement. He made some ros d-about
inquiries concerning Jenny. aid learned
that she was a hearty. blaek-haired,
black-eyed lass Of about two and txeu-
ty; had never seen q piano or'altended
ball, but knew the Assemhiy's cate
chism, could sing Old Hundred 10 q
charm, spin fax, and darn stockings,
and had then gone to town vith butter.
He fingered, but she was detyed, spd
when his excuses for staying kefe ex-
Ehassted, besfarted. He 6oaI6 Rot get
the good butter out Of bis mind, and
how happened it know not, be soon
found his way there again. and the re-
suit of bis adventure was that be made
wife of Jane McKean. And now
one lump Of his wife's butter is worth
more than all Joe's would make in a
month. There's no use in going to
market; the keepers of genteel boarding
houses in the neighboring villages send
and take il at the highest market price.
Now the main difference in these
two women arises from the manner Of
training. though there is no difference
in natural disposition. Old madam
Sly never looked on to see that Sally
did up her work right, but suffered her
to shy off her work as she chose. and
though a good house-keeper herself,
was altogether too indulgent, and like
some other mothers, thought more OF
getting Sally well married than Of
making her fit for a wife; while madam
Mexican was determined Jenny should
be fit for any mans wife, whether she
got married or not. Perhaps there is
no more certain criterion by which to
judge of woman's general character
for nestness and housekeeping than BY
the quality of her butter. Find on the
farmers table a good, solid, properly
sailed, well-worked slice Of butter, and
you need not fear to eat the cakes or
hash; but see a slush of balf-worked
butter; salt in Jumps, and sprinkling
of hair and flies legs. you may be
certain that if you board there very
long, death will not be obliged to wait
much for you to finish your peck Of
dirt.
My advice is to young farmers, to
make it a sine qua non in a wife that she
makes prime butter; and the young
ladies who aspire to be farmers wives,
had much bsiterbe imperfect in 6lagree
most Important art of making butter,
which smoothes not only the sharp cor
ners of crusts and crackers, but will

AMALGAMATION.

Southern brethren:
AMALGAMATIoN.
The most trying thing upon mans
patience is the senseless babble about
Iorthern amalgamatin and negro
equality. There does lot exist on the
face Of the earth a community where
open, shameless amalgamation is prac-
ticed TO a greater extent than in the
Cotton States. There is not planta-
ton in the South but bears witness to
the trnth Of this charge. The son Of
the planter, if at all curious upon the
subject of relationship, can generally
find half-brothers and sisters among
his fathers chattels; and by the time
the "young master" has attained his
twentieth year, he is pretty sure to have
contributed something towards the uni
versal bleeching out of the Ulira-Ethi-
opean features from the faces of the
next generation of slaves. Bachelor
planters live openly with bla,k and
parti-colored paramours, in def,nce Of
public opinion, if there is any public
opinion to defy. II married, it is the
same thing. only, in difference to the
unreasonable scruples of his white wife,
the concubine is sometimes kept out Of
the house, and supported in itate ol
almost regal splendor at anothg plan
tatiOn. Merchsnt princes, law'givers,
statesmen, and the high digniies oI
the land, have their little weakness in
the same direction. The most darn
ing feature in this state of affairs the
countensnce it receives from sociey.-
There is no outcry, but all is taken as
matter of course. The press ano the
pulpit ignore the facts, however mto.
rious; and the courts are never troubled
with divorce cases in consequence. In
the North, if a man lives openly wtf
black woman, no respectable Whit
woman will look at him, much lei
; speak to him; but in the South, a youH
; blood comes from the embraces OF
saddle-colored mistress to the parlor Q
ball room, the odor Of the African br
; family disguised with the fragrance
patchouly. and is received with smile
by the elite Of Southern society.

That "speaks for ITSELF" But the
public will be pleased to know that the
claims. one OF which is thus discharged,
are paid by the Secessionists. Colonel
Metealfe has large sum on deposit in
the bank at Paris. which he has drawn
from the sympsthisers in that part Of
Kentucky. He quietly selects his men,
makes the assessment, and gives the
Secessionists the choice of paying up
or making q visit to Camp Chase
Thus Morgan's friends are paying for
the operations Of their favorite chieftsin.

gree Of pleasure. the promised return

Colonel Metcalfe has now cavalry
