SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE %, 1862.
who Shall BIO punishcdq

On what ground shall we exempt a
rebel leader from punishment? Suppose
that we adopt the rule of turning loose
all who profess to abandon the rebellion,
provided they are men Of talent and in
fiuence? Then a mans chances Of es-
cape from the penalty due his offences
will depend on the accident Of talent only.
The ignorant and weak rebel will be
punished, and the sagacious and inhuen-
tlal one be exempted from punishment
Perhaps it would be well to recollect that
this rebellion was originated by able
but corrupt men, and that the very abili-
ties and influence which would make
them useful for good have already made
them terribly potent for evil. 1t would
be a dangerous precedent to let loose the
strong offender and scourge the weak
one. We do not know of any code,
human or divine, where such a principle
is recognized and we feel assured that
the future results of such policy would
be fearfully disastrous. 1t seems to us
that the Government should punish the
criminal according to his offence and
not suffer its sword to be turned aside
by an armor of gold, or abilities, or
family position. The Bible tells us that
the "servant who kne,O his masters will
and did it not, shall be punished with
many stripes"

Suffering in the south.

There is already great amount of suf-
fering among the poor of the South for
necessary articles of food The ravages
of war and the general scantiness of ag-
riculture, the result of the combined in
fiuence of want of laborers and lack
Of heart for industry, will greatly in
crease this restitution, aud the cry for
bread. Loyal people with their wonted
generosity have already sent in contribu-
tions, and we trust they will be largely
increased. The hearts of the poor are
with the Union. Poverty and patriotism
60 together usually, and we must show
deep and cordial feeling for the distress
of the Southern poor. As for the rebel
cotton planters they deserve to suffer.
Let them continue to groan until their
pride is humblod. 1t is no time now to
pity them; but let us pity and help the
poor.

Army Correspondence.


| MOSCOW lESS., July sth IooI
Editor Free 7rader-We have lately had
another proof of the superiority of the
4th Ill. Cavalry over the cavalry of the
enemy AN instance where the latter
had an enormous advantage, selected
their own ground, and had a cover to fire
| from.
| On the 30th of June, w. 7. Sherman 5
division left their camp on Wolf river,
moving toward Holly Springs, and, as
usual, the old 4th, Maj. Gibson in COM
mand. was put in advance. The next
morning, after passing the little town of
jacksonville, we came upon the enemy's
pickets, who left in somewhat of hurry.
We drove them before us about six miles,
every now and then sending squad
ahead to hurry them up, and, when with
in two miles of Holly Springs We came
upon strong body of cavalry, portion
forming line across the road and eX-
tending through the woods on the right,
and about 400 dismounted in the under
brush and behind fence on our left.
The advance guard, under It. Parker, Of
Co. al, moved forward to engage those
in the road, not noticing those dismounted
on the left who waited till the head of
the column came opposite, opened upon
them at the distance of 80 yards, raining
perfect shower of bullets around our
gallant Major, VIM. L. Gibson, he being
at the head of the column, who remained
Just as cool and selfpossessed as if he
had been drilling a company on the pa
rade ground. He ordered the first two
companies to form line in the road, and
return the fire, which was done with
spirit He then dismounted some of the
boys and sent them through cornfeld
to the flank of the rebels The movement
was we'll executed, and made the woods
too hot for the enemy, who fell back.
followed by the boys After retreatlng
about II miles the whole rebel force en-.
gagged, about 1900 men, formed a line of
battle across the road in an open place
Maj. Gibson again detached a portion of
the men, and sent them around to the
right of the rebels, firing at them from
wood at long musket range. About this
time the infantry and artillery came up,
and shell being thrown by the latter,
the rebels skedaddled, leaving US in COM
mand of the field. They took their dead
and wounded with them, and therefore
we could not discover their exact loss.
We were told, however, by citizens, that
they had killed and wounded. Among
the latter was Col Jackson, their com.
manner, shot through the thigh. Our
loss was killed and wounded. Their
names are as follows
Hanson Tewsbury, of Co. g., killed;
VIM Proud, Co. L, shot through lung
not dangerous; Alex Cass, Co. II, severely |
wounded in face; John Carver, Co. &, lost |

first fire.

were such poor marksmen. Parcel of
children could do better off-hand than

shots passed over. our heads. Our whole

Gov. Yates Proclamation.

The proclamation of Gov. Yates, in an
other colemn, calling for the speedy
enlistment of nine new regiments from
this state, is eloquent and cotton up in
good taste. This is matter for congratu.
lation, for after the publication of his
recent bombastic letter to the President
we really began to fear his Proclamation
which all knew was soon to follow, would
make our state the laughing stock of the
nation. Happily, However, we are spared
Doubtless the Governor wrote the one
while sober and the other when-not
which when which is different. 1t is
enough that he writes differently under

How TO RAISE THEM-The government
has called for 100000 more men. They
are absolutely needed and must be forth
coming. If the men will not volunteer
they must be drafted, resort to be de
precated. except rs an absolute necessity
| Every true aud loyal man in the country
and particularly every loyal editor, ought
to encourage enlistments
The Chicago Tribune makes extra claims
to loyalty. The Tribune froths over with
rage at the secessionists, and pretends to a
zeal above all its bretheren in favor of
filling up the broken ranks of our army.
And this is the way the Tribune does it.
The Tribune says, Gen. Hunter offers to
enrol arm and equip $4,000 blacks in a
month Hallek, the Tribune argues, could
do the same; and Mcclellan ought to be
able to do the same This would give
80. 900 of the 100000 And the Tribune
is indignant that our Generals are not
ordered to enlist these blacks, instead of
calling on the white men of the north to
furnish all the troops. And that is the
way the Tribune encourages enlistments.
