for Havana, were captured By the Owasco

crews report hard times at New0rleaus. There
was no work excepting for carpenters who
get 81 per day, working on the gunboats.
They were paid in Confederate notes, and
in many stores these would not pass.
There were gunboats on the Lake, besides
the two new ones not yet equipped, and q
good many IN the river. Some went up the
river a short time ago, with the steam ram
and 10000 men.

How to Treat the GnerriIIas.

LAOLAH iytiAlelANN -Nst1lihAlAG ulguI
The most summary as well as the most
just manner Oftreating bushwhackers, was
shown in the act Of one of our soldiers
As the train was running from Huntsville
to Stevenson few days since, an innocent
looking man was seen sitting by the road
side on the fence. As the train passed one
Of the guard drew up his rife and shot the
man through the body. Great indignation
was expressed by all; the soldier put un-
der arrest; the train stopped and several
officers went over to pick up the "pOor in
nocent man" The man was inst dying,
and in his last struggles was trying to hide
his shot gun under the fence. The soldier was
instantly released.
It appeared that the soldier recognised
the man as one who had shot at him while
on picket duty, and thus executed summa.
ry vengeance.
