Gen. Halleck issued an order that in
consideration of the recent victories. won
by the Federal armies, and the rapidly
increasing loyalty of citizens in Missouri,
the sentence of the bridge burners, here
tofore condemned to death, is Professionally
mitigated to close confinement in the mi
itary prison at Alton. If, however, rebel
spies again destroy railroads and telegraph
lines and thus render it necessary to make
severe examples, the original sentence
againstthese men will be carried into exc
cution. No further assessment will be
levied or collected from any one who will
now take the prescribed oath of allegiance
Boards of commissioners will be appointed
to examine cases Of prisoners of war who
apply to take the oath of allegiance, and
on their recommendation orders will be
issued for their release.
Six additional boat loads Of the Donel-
son prisoners arrived last night and this
morning, and will be speedily forwarded
to their destination.
Private adyices indicate that Columbus
has been or is being evacuated. Prepar-
atoms will undoubtedly be made for an
