The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under
authority of the so-called Southern Confed-
eracy, and others without such authority,
being so pernicious to the welfare of the
community where it is carried on, and itoe-
ing within the power of the community to
suppress this system, it is ordered that wher-
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of a
sufficient amount of personal property, from
persons in the Immediate neighborhood SYM
pathizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of
ton.
Persons acting as guerrillas without organi-
cation, and without uniform to distinguish
them from private citizens, are not entitled to
the treatment of prisoners of war when
caught, and win not receive such treatment

THE London Star tAus appreciates the Con
federate policy of burning cotton: If be true
that thousands of bales of goods-incapable of
being converted into munitions Of war, and
absolutely secure, as private property, from
contiscation by the Federals--are being burnt
or rolled into the river, the Confederates are
committing social as well as political suicide.
II IS an act that has no comparison in modern
history. 1t i not like the destruction of Mos
COW, an act Of desperate patriotism, for it i'm
poverishes the vanquished without IN the least
injuring the vietors. If all the cotton. tobacco
and sugar, between Richmond and Mobile
were given to,the flames, it would not retard
by an hour the fall Of those cities, nor enhance
by dollar the cost of the conquest. Neither
can it be supposed, except by men whose Of
lenses and disasters have frenzied their INTEL
lects. that these huge ineendiarisnls win attract
the slightest favor to their cause from across
the Atlantic. TheyFm must be mad, indeed, to
reckon that England and France will come to
the help OF men, who are wantonly injuring
themselves and the subjects of those powers.
The only kindness that Europe can show them
is 10 advise that they abstain from such barba-
rian outrages, and makefhcir peace as quickly
rs they can with the Government that is Is
superior in right rs in strength, having both
the right and the power TO retaliate upon such
atrocities by q sylendid act of mercy to man
kind. q .a ~ aaia8 stalsFtsf
