TREASURY NOTES --On "Wednesday last, the
Convention by large majority, passed an or
djnance providing that the interest attached to
The three millions of treasury notes ordered to
be issued at the last session, shall be stricken
out We learn,that about 1925, 600 of these in
terest bearing notes have already been issued
by the Treasurer, and of course, as provided
by the ordinance just passed, these notes will
be continued in circulation and the interest
paid on them at maturity. The main reason
tar striking out the interest was that the Banks
declined to receive the st-bearing notes
This o5structed their circulation among the
. people and tho .CQnvenliop, ii was thought,
had no alternative but to strike out the inter-
est and place these notes on the same {ootrg

The following is the correspondence which !
has taken place between Generals Prlce and
ialieCk
IIEADQuAKrFRs Missouri STATE GUARD,
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. Il, 1862.
GrxERAL:-I have received information that
YOU, as Major General commanding tbs depart
Il en-, have either ordered or allowed the Gar
rest Of citizens in pursuit of their usual and
peaceful avocatiouS, and that men, officers and
privates, belonging to this army, have been
taken prisoners on the Kansas border and con
veyed to Fort Leavenworth, and as such, and
for no other established offence on crime, have
been shot.
In some cases | have learned that my dis
CHARGED soldiers have been subject to the same
treatment whenever and wherever they have
shown themselves and that in others they
have been by military coercion forced into
servtude unknown to international and ciTl-
lied uSageS.
have obtained information that individuals
and parties of men, specially appointed by ll"n
to destroy railroads, ,Eculverts, and bridges, by
tearing them up, burning, &c, have been ar
restct, aud subjected to general court mar
tial for alleged crimes, which all the laws OF
warfare heretofore recognized Dy the civil
! lized world, have regarded as proper and
lawful ..-
| haze learned that such persons when til d
if convicted of the fence or offences as STATED,
are viewed as lawful subjects for capital pun
| ishment.
! These statements [ cannot believe to be Ger
rect Bat let us understand each other on
the subject. Do you intend to continue the
arrest of citizens engaged in th~'r ordinary
peaceful pursuits, and to treat them as trait
ors and rebels ? Ii 50, will you make cNchan-
! gos with me for such as [ may will make
! for similar cases
Do you intend to regard members Of this
army as persons deserving Of death whenever
and wherever they may be captured? Or
: will you extend to them the recognized rights
Of prisoners Of war by the code Of civilized war
fare?
ID you regard the destruction Of important
roads for the transportation Of facilities for
military purposes as the legal right ol bel
ligerent:
Do you intend to regard men whom I have
specially despatched TO destroy roads, burn
bridges, tear up culyerts, &c, as amenabc
to an enemy's court martial, will You have
them tried as usual, by the proper civil au-
thorities, according to the statutes OF tEe

KEEPING UP THE FORCE OF OUR ARMY.
A subject Of vital Importance, to which the
prompt aud eartest attention of the Conven-
ton should be paid, is that Of guarding against
the diminuton of North Cardinals Force in
the field d.by the expiration of the term Of ser
vice of her twelve months volunteers. While
we are hopeful Of a speedy and honorable con-
clusion of it. we cannot tell how long this war
will last and it is the part of wisdom, indeed
of absolute necessity that every Southern
State should act as if the war WAS to be con-
t:nued for an lldcfinite length of time. This is a
source from which much good may arise. If
the war continues, We must have the men to
meet the foe. II it is ended, the force
we propose to raise will not b. needed
Again, the fact of our preparing to keep up
our forces in their present, if not greater num-
bers until all honorable peace is secured, will
fall heavily upon the Yankee heart, and add
vastly to the numbers of those who already
wish peace, because they have daily evidence
that the subiugation of the South becoming
more and more an abSurdlty while
the iInpoyershnent and ruin Of the North is
approaching daily an absolute certainty. Let
the Convention at once set about business,
the execution of which would alone have war
ranted, aye. demanded les re-asscmbling-
