lore Prisoners Brought 10 Birds
Point.

Cairo, H., January %.
Intelligence reached here today from
Gen. Smiths command which left Padu-
cab simultaneously with troops from this
point before the recent expedition into
Kentucky. Istead of returning to Padu-
cab, Gen. Smith pushed on from Camp
Reauregard towards Fort Henry, on the
Tennessee River, at the State line. He
must have arrived there befor this dis.
patch is published, and stirring news may
be expected very soon. Fort Henry oc.
cupies n position close to the river, with
high land rising beyond, upon which bat
teries are said to have been planted. Re-
ports say the ,.lace is occupied by about
three thousand rebel troops. Gen. Smith
command comprises probably about g.
900.
Col. Philip B. Fouke aud Col. Jno A.
Logan arrived here from Washington to-
day, and resumed command of their rsgi-
| ments.
The order to remove the troops from,
Camp Holt was this morning counter
manded, intelligence from above being
that the river has commenced falling. III
is still rising here rapidly.
The gunboats Essex aud st. Louis,
which came up from Mayhed Creek dur.
ing the night, will return this evening and
anchor at Puntney's Bend, about three
miles below Mayfeld Greek and ten miles
above Columbus, which place is almost in
sight from the bend.
A considerable number of men belong
ing to different regiments have applied to
be transferred to the gunboats. and the
transfer will, probably, in most cases b.
made. Altogether eight hundred mer
are wanted.
At four o'clock, evening before last, {
party of Noieman's Cavalry went ou
from Birds Point in the direction o
Charleston, to the vicinity where four O
our pickts were shot last week. The,
succeeded in taking three prisoners, on,
of whom~is the father of one of the par
ties who are believed TO have done til,
shooting. fhcy went to the wrong house
in the first place or all of tho guilty par
ties would have been taken Upon goin.
to another honae in the neighbarhoof
fresh tracks were found, but the culprit
had fed to the bush The three prison
ers were brought into camp and tie oil,

information which should lead to the cap
ture of one of the more guilty member
Of the gang or being shot.

or allowed the arrest of citizens in pursuit
of their usual and peaceful avocations:
that men, officers and priyates, belonging
to this army have been taken prisoners on
the Kansas borders and conveyed to Fort
Leayenworth, and as such, for no other
established offence or crime, have been
shot In some cases, have learned my
discharged soldiers have been seized
whenever aud wherever they have shown
themselves, and that they have been by
military coercion forced into servituae
unknown to international and civilized
usage in such cases. have obtained in
formation that individuals and parties of
men especially appointed and instructed
by me to destroy Railroad culverts and
bridges, by tearing them up, burning,
&C., have been arrested aud subjected 10
general courtmartial, for alleged crimes
which all laws of warfare heretofore re-
cognized by the civilized world have re-
garded as distinctly proper and lawful. |
have learned that such persons when tried,
if convicted of offence or offences as stated,
are viewed as lawful subjects for capital
punishment. These statements | can nj
believe to be correct; but let us under
stand each other on this subject. DO you
intend to continue the arrest of citizens
engaged in their ordinary peaceful pur-
suits and treat them As traitors and rebels!
If so will you make exchanges with me
for such rs | may or will make for sim .
lar causes? Do you intend to regard
members of this army as persons de-
serving death whenever and wherever they
may be captured, or will you extend Il
them the recognized rights of prisoners Of
war, by the code of the civilized world!
DO you regard the destruction Of import

vision what is to be the countersign of the
ensuing night. They also boast of hav-
ing, by means of our countersign, travel
cd along our entire division lines and as
certained our exact locality, numbers, DC.

our secret signals, which are now issued
In connection with our countersign.

Gen. Sterling Price, Commanding.
General Your letter. dated Spring
field, january 18th, is received. The
troops of which you complain On the Kan
sas frontier aud at Fort Leavenworth are
not under my command. I'M regard tn
them, respectfully refer you to Major
General Hunter, commanding The Depart
ment of Kansas, headquarters, Fl Leav-
enworth. You also complain that indi.
.yiduals and parties Of men, specially APP
pointed and instructed by yoa to destroy
railroad culyerts and bridges by tearing
them up, Burning, &C., have been arrest
ed and subjected, to general court ma.
tial for alleged crimes. This statemel t
is in the main correct. Where individuals
and parties of men violate the llws of war,
they will be tried and if found guilty will
certainly be punished whether acting undo !
your special appointment and instru :
tions or not. Y on must be aware, Gen-
eral, that no orders of yours can save from
punishment spies, maraudets and rob
| bers, incendiaries, guerrilla bands, &c,
who violate the laws of war. You can
not give immunity to crime. But let u.
understand each other on this point. il
you send an armed force, wearing tht
garb Of soldiers and duly organized ant
enrolled as legitimate belligerents to Gle
stroy railroad bridges as a military act, W
shall kill them if possible in open warfare
or If we capture them we shall treat them
as prisoners of war. But it ID well under
stood that You have sent numbers of you
adherents in the garb Of peaceful citizen,
under false pretences through our line
into Northern Missouri, to rob, destro,
the property Of Union men, burn and de
stroy railroad bridges, thus endangerinl
THE lives Of thousands, and this, too, with
out any military advantage. Moreover
peaceful citizens of Missouri, quietl,
working on their farms, have been insti
gated by your emisaries to take up arm
as insurgents, and rob, plumber and com
nit arson and murder. They do not evel
act under the garb of soldiers, but unde
false rietences and in the gnise Of peace
full citizens. You certainly will not pre-
tend that men guilty Of such crimes, al
though specially appointed and instructe
by you, are entitled to the rights and i'm
munities Of ordinary prisoners Of war
, If you do, will you refer me to- a singl
authority on the laws Of war which r.
cognize such claim.
