Issued, which will excite Us much commenda-
ton, if executed, as former general order
number three excited condemnation, even
when not executed. The author Of the new
order is not Il. ". Halleck, but Gen. Scho-
field, at present in command Of the district Of !
Missouri. You have probably received 4 sy-
nopsis Of this Important order by telegraph,
and it only remains for me to give it passing /
notice. The order is designed to make the |
wealthy and influential secessionist6 of the |
State responsible for the guerrilla parties. It !
simply 1eyies an assessment Of Sc, 900 for every
Union soldier killed, and from 81 900 to 8, ,000
for every Onion soldier MANNED, to be collect
Cd Of wealthy rebel sympathizers. The bal-
ance Of the order is devoted to the details OF
the collection, and for furnishing parties who
violate the order. This stringent measure is
precisely what has long been needed in this
State to put down bushEhackers and guerril-
las, and its prompt enforcement will have q
tendency to cure the rich and influential rebel
sympathizers who feed and equip guerrillas,
and enable them to intercept travellers, rob
mail stages, and lay in wait for paynlaster5
alcrg By roads in tie country. That this has
bet n the practice in the vicinity OF Lexington,
independence III Aansas tlt93 u well al-
1csied fact, and nothing but an order to hold
these parties to strict accountability for such
outragcs can ever prevent their continuance.
| Gen. Schofield Is raputed to be q man Of bis
| word. He has experience for hunting BUSH
Nbacke1s in Missouri, and knows from per-
| 6oDal observation how their game is cAr-
riel on.
The State emancipation convention, which
| met at Jefferson City On Monday last, WAS q
| great success. The pro-slayery Journals,
| x1oG
3tcan, arc highly indignant that such an in
ctndiary convention should have dttiled, in
| the hall Of representatives., tho Missouri
stale capitol. The idea that an anti slavery
assembly should occupy the apartments re-
gently used by Claib Jsckson'6 secession legs-
| lature il another humiliation for the sebcls in
this city, and a sign highly Indicative of
changed tines. Judge Wells, president Of
the convention, is the same gentleman who
published an emancipation letter about two
weeks sEo. He was appointed United States
| Judge by Andrew Jackson, and is a fine speci-
men Of the Old Hickory Democracy, End 3
cordial Later Of South Carolina chiyalry.
The proceedings Of The contention were
replete with interest. There WIS one omission
which must strike diein'erestcd observers as
the unint territorial result brought about to
| satisfy handful Of politicians IN this city.
The convention filled to declare that slavery
| is the cause of the rebellion. althoug h the
en.bcrs in their cohyer:ation outside the
convention unanimously agreed that such was
the care. There are few cinaneipafioniets in
this city who are given to ha1r splitting. They
profess to believe that slavery Is not, but the
negro is the cause Of the var. The pEofun-
dity Of tltc discrimination is worthy Of Carlyle
: | or Eol1alre.
