THE rctaliatory orders of the rebel govern
ment. relating especially to Gen, Pope and his
command. have much interest in view of the
events Transporting in his department. They
are grounded, first, upon the order of presi-
dent Lincoln for the seizure ofproperty in the
rebel states; second, upon Gen. Popc's order
for the arrest and removal of disloyal male cit
liens beyond the lines of his department; and,
third, upon an order of Brig. Gen. Steinwehr
for the arrest of five prominent citizens of
Page county, Va, to be held as hos
tages for loyal soldiers killed by row
ing hushwhackers. They provide, first,
that General Pope, General Steinwehr,
and all officers under them, are not to
be regarded as soldiers, nor entitled to the
parole of future prisoners of war; and sec
ond, that, in case of their capture, they shall
be held IN close confinement, to be put to
! death, man for man, in the event of the exc
cution of any citizens of the rebel confedera-
cy, upon any pretcxt whatever. In conform
ity with these orders jeff. Davis, in his in
structions to Gen. Lee, gives warning that he
shall not consider any officers hereafter cap
tured from Gen. Pope's army to be prisoners
of war. These orders, with the reasons given
| for them, are an excuse for the barbarities
with which the south has conducted the war
from the beginning. In success and IN defeat
the spirit of assassination has been its control
| ing influence, which no sense of honor or re-
gard for good faith have restrained. The
| news of doubtful battle again brings home
to the heart of the nation a deep sense
of humiliation and shame, that they still
hold a position in Virginia which gives
them the power to threaten. The day
of reckoning can not, however, be long
delayed. The present week will witness
the advance of many thousands of fresh
troops from all the free states to take their
places by the side of their weary brothers in
the field. Let the authorities now hasten by
every means in their power the new enrol
ment and draft, and thus place at the disposal
of the government, once more, force sufh-
cient to cope with its watchful and exasperated
| enemies.

"Jordan Hard Road to Travel.v


The design of an unusually large number
of 'able-boded citizens between the ages of
eighteen and forty-fve" TO take passage for
Europe in Saturdays steamers was very SUM
marily checked. These towards and fugitives
acted, of course, from their individual i'm
pulse, and fortunately represented no class of
loyal people, who, on the contrary, welcome
the preparations for draft, and will cheerful
ly perform whatever duties fall to their lot.
They belonged, rather, to small set whose
faces are sometimes seen in all countries
willing to share in their good fortune and pros
perity, but scampering Ike rats at the first
signal of danger. Two steamships, which
were ready to sail Saturday, with extraordina-
ry lists, were detained till the ticket holders
had procured passports and legal right to de-
part. Many, however, were prevented alto
gether, and great excitement was of course
the result The following explanatory circu-
lar was yesterday issued from the war depart
ment on this subject =
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, d. c..
Aug. l4.-Nllitary Commandments, P,orost
MarShatS, United STATES MarShalS, and Police
Officers ~ on will receive herewith an order
OF the war department to prevent the evasion
OF military duty, and for the suppression of
disloyal parties, dated the Sth of August
1862 This order to be efficient is necessari-
ly very comprehensive in its terms, and its
proper execution requires the exercise of
sound Judgment and discretion by the officers
to whom its enforcement is entrusted, and to
guard you in its execution the following in
structiOuS are 10 be observed -
First. The order comprises two classes of
persons, VIZ Those who are about leaving
the United States to evade military duty, and
those who for the same purpose leave their
own state, until the militia enrolment is
perfected absolutely prohibited but it
was not the intention of the order to in
tertere with transit from state to state of any
person but those who desire to evade military
duty Whenever you have reason to believe
that the purpose is to eyade military duty. the
order will authorize the detention Of any per-
sYn leaving his own state, county, or military
district.
Second. Amy person detained may be re-
leased on giving bonds to the United States
with sufficient security, in the sum of one
thousand dollars conditional for the perform
ance of military duty, or the providing a
proper substitute.
Third. Immediate report is TO be made to
this office Of all persons detained, with the
cause of their detention.
Fourth. You will exercise the powers of ar
rest and detention With caution and forbear-
ance, SO as to avoid giving annoyance or trou-
bic to any persons excepting those who are
seeking to eyade the performance Of their duty
TO their country.
Fifth. The governors of the respective
states are authorized to give passes and per-
mits TO their own citizens desiring to leave. the
state without intent to evade military duty.

Soldiers, Allotments.

One of the allotment commissioners for this
state requests us to publish the following
statement, and we learn from him that it ex-
presses the views of the whole board =
"a mode has been adopted by some of the

portion Of their pay to their friends at home.
which seems not to be in accordance with the
provisions of the act of congress which re-
quire that the funds which are forwarded bv
the paymasters should not be taken to the
camps and subjected to the consequent risks.
1t appears that in same cases, after the sol
diers have been paid, they return to the pay
master such an amount as they wish, and he
gives his draft on the assistant treasurer nj
New York for the gross sum, which is taken
by some officer of the regiment and forwarded
as funds upon which he draws a check for
each individual sum.
1T Is questionable whether the paymaster
If he lose the funds thus entrusted to him
could be UNIDENTIFIED by the government which
mas sought to avoid this risk by requiring that
al allotments with which its officers have to
do, shall be made on rolls to be forwarded to
Washington with the pay rolls, so that the
proper deductions can be made bv the nav
master before he starts, and no more funds

REMARKABLE MAN.-Mr. Thompson
Taft, of Mendon, lately deceased, was re-
markable man in many respects, and in this
fast age we think that his many virtues are
worthy OF note He was 30 years old and
for the last thirty years he had never been
away from his home over night. He never
gambled, he was never drunk, he never told a
lie, he never rode in railroad car, he was
never in a city, he never cheated any one out
Of cent but on the contrary, several years
ago when corn was selling here for one dollar
and twenty cents per bushel, Mr.. Taft had
quite Il quantity on hand, and he sold all he
could spare for 81 per bushel, and he would
sell only one bushel to family. One of our
traders hearing that he selling corn for
81, went to his place and offered to buy all
the corn he had at $1.17 per hushel. Mr..
run toId hirn he never took but one dollar
for a bushel of corn, and that if he (the
trader) had no corn, he might have a bushel,
but no more, nor at a higher price, Woon-
socket Patriot.

great success at Mechanics Hall, last night,
and is to be continued all this week As an
exchange paper says, ''the degree of genius
and skill indicated on the part of the designer

was highly commendable. For instance, the
appearance of Ellsworth's Zouaves in a street
in New York, review of troops by McClel-
Ian, and the bombardment of Island No. 10,
in thunder storm, were very fine, particular
