Some time ago man named Allsman
in Missouri, was missed from his home
and could nowhere be found. The suppo-
Sition was that rebels ha | murdered him
And Gen. McNcal arrested ten rebels and
placed them in prison declaring that un.
less Allsman returned within ten days the
ten should be shot At the expiration OF
the time the rebels were shot. Whcrcul on
jeff Davis demand the surrender of Gen.
McNoal, and threatens retaliation by
shooting the first ten OF our officers captur-
ed in thatdcpaltmcnt in case the General
be not surrendered. This threat is not to be
treated with the leyity exhibited by the
abolition press in the discussion of the
matter. Whether the demand be right
or wrong, it is the probable initiation OF
Nwar of revenge loading to the shooting
of prisoner, on both sides. II our gov
crnmcnt had months ago done its duty in
defining precisely the treatment gucrril.

The Petersburg Erpress Of Saturday
morning advises US as to the state oi
affairs on the Peninsula on Friday last
lit says: '. .
A gentleman who came up from a 10
cality opposite Berkeley last night, IN
forms us that the train of wagons, the
tents, and the large body of troops be,
fore referred to, were at Berkeley al
day yesterday. He counted nearly
eighty craft, including sail vessels
steam transports and gunboats in tht
vicinity. All was quiet on the shore
yesterday, but about twenty minutes
past one o'clock heavy cannonadine
commenced in the rear Of Berkeley
and was continued about half hour
1T then ceased, and subsequently dense
columns of smoke were seen rising a,
bove the forests behind. Whether from
musketry or the destruction of stores
|our informant is unable to say
Persons residing in the vicinity state
lit as their opinion, that while there arr
movements among the troops and ship
ping at Berkeley by day: light, that more
active preparations are reserved to'
hight; and many think it not improba
|hle that reinforcements are arriving anl
being landed under the cover of dark
mess. .-... az. r,
The Monstor and another gunboa
came up the river yesterday afternoon
and proceeded above City Point, botl
|shelling the woods furiously as they
proceeded. This firing was distinctly
heard in Petersburg. We suppose. tina
lit was intended to inform "rebeldom'
that the gunboats still live, if the ''grea
army" has been crippled. ,.-
