ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2s.-General Halleck, in
a general order, states that official informa-
ton has been received that the rebels, in
evacuating Mud Town, Ark, poisoned some
provisions that they were Obliged to leave
behind, and that forty-two officers and men
were poisoned by eating the same. he
says we cannot retaliate by adopting the
same barbarous mode of warfare, nor can
we retaliate by furnishing the innocent for
the acts of the guilty. The laws of war
forbid this, but the same code authorizes us
to retaliate upon the guilty parties. Persons
guilty of such acts, when captured, will
not be treated as ordinary prisoners of war,
nor will they be shot, blu: will suffer the
ignominious punishment of being hung as
felons. Officers are in measure RESPONSE
BILE for the acts of their troops Officers
of troops guilty of such acts, although not
themselves the advisers or absttors of the
crime, when captured, will be put in irons
and conveyed to these headquarters. The
laws of war make it their duty to prevent
such barbarities. If they neglect that duty,
they must suffer the consequences.

gracious Office, certainly he would not per-
nit any one opposed to him to place him

RUSSIAN OPERATIONS IN JAPAE.-An
English Admiral, with an eye to the ex-
pansion of her Majesty's territory, having
heard favorable accounts of certain little
islands in the japanese Archipelago, deter
mined to look in there, but it was with the
greatest wonder and establishment that, on
doubling the cape that shuts out the sea
from view, he found three Russian frigates
at anchor, who seem to have made them
selves quite as much at home at the islands
as if they were at Cronstadt. Bnstle and
activity prevailed everywhere on shore,
boats were drawn up on the beach and I'M
dergoing repairs, stores were being landed
and warehoused, sailors were exercising
with small arms, and, to crown all, the I'm
perial flag of Russia was hoGting from the
summit of the buildings, which were sepa-
rated from the native town, and surrounded
by strong defensive works.
