Decline of GuerrilIa WARFARE IN Mis-

a letter in the New York Commercial from
St, Louis says: ~
BushwackiDg, from its very nature, Is
subject to fluethatiou- A sudden outbreak,
followed By the most peaceful calm, is ne.
cessary to its suceess, and it must be con
fessed the game has been practiced with re-
markable Ndroitness in this State. Just
now the guerrilla leaders who used to make
their names famous by bold dashes, and n
terror to Union families by their cruelty,
are as quiet as summer sunbeam Even
in North Missouri, where guerrillas roamed
bY hundreds afeW weeks ago, peace reigns,
and farmers once more dare to venture in J
to their fields tplantations they are called J
to look after their crops without expecting
to be shot down by concealed foes. The
decline in bushwackiug has been as rapid
as the rise Poindexter, who was one of
the boldest and worst of these fellows, is
now in Jail in this city, minus one leg. Per-
ter, another Is skedaddling to Arkansas {;
Burtridge and Kirk are hiding somewhere,
aud the guerrillas generally are disgusted
anditired of their restless life. Hundreds
have surrendered themselves to Union Off {.
GERS and openly expressed their preference
for Union prisons aud Union rations to a
life in the woods with such food as they can
| beg aud steal without fear of capture. The
falling of the leaves from the trees aud
| bushes will lessen the chances Of eluding
! pursuit when pressed by our cavalry here
after, and although occasional outbreaks
may occur, the guerrilla campaign for the
season may Be regarded as ended without
substantial results. aaa

The following ,is the report Of Lieut.. Gov.
STANTON, giving the results Of his recent tip
to Pitsburg Landing, with the steamer Glen
dale, for the relief of cur sick and wounded
soldiers: slsa
M G CoLuMBUs, April 90, 1852
His ExetlIsney David Tod, GOUernOr;
SIR-In obedience to your Instructions on the
18th inst, proceeded on the next day to Gin
cinnati and found that Colonel Bliss had char
tered the steamboat Glendale for the expedition
described in your instructions
We Immediately set to work to furnish her
with the hospital stores aud supplies, which the
expedition required.
With the assistance Of DR.. Smith, who ar.
rived on the morning Of the 18th, We completed
the loading Of the supplies on Saturday, and
left Cincinnati on Saturday evening, the 18th
inst, at 8 O'Clock. 4,.l F4.s rsI
DR.. Smith, of this city, was put in charge as
superintendDg surgeon and physicisn, and &C.
names will be found in the statement herewith
submitted. a
We arrived at Pittsburg Landing without any
occurrence worthy of note, on Tuesday morning,
the 22d inst, ct about O'clock
Having become Satisfied from my own obser-
walton on my former expedition, az we'll as from
information received on the way, that the rule
requiring all boats 10 receive all sick and wound
ed as they came to the landing, without regard
to the States to which they belonged, was not
regarded BY boats from other States, j determ-
ined TO ignore the authorities, and proceed at
once to the Ohio camps In search Of our sick
and wounded volunteers, and upon procuring the
proper surgeons certificate to have them at once
removed to our boat.
/ felt satisfied that II the course we were pur-
suing should come to the knowledge ofthe com
mandine GeneralJ he might very properly per-
init thing to be done without his authority,
which he would not feel &C liberty to sanction
or authorize In advance.
We experienced no opposition or interrup.
lion, aud BY II o'clock on Wednesday we had
received on board nearly two hundred sick and
wounded Ohio volunteers.
We received ten from Kentucky, Indiana, II.
Iinois and Michigan, all Of which were cases Of
peculiar hardship, which the dictates Of human
ity would not permit rs 10 refuse. Besides,
Kentucky and Indiana have been very liberal
In rendering aid to Ohio volunteers, and we
shonId have subjected our State to the charge
of ilHberality and iDgratitudeh Il we bad refused
to fecipsooate.
Al II O'Clock on Wednesday, the 2Sd, we
lsit the landing and dropped down to Savannah,
where We tcek come thirty ohioang from the
hospitals, and passed down 10 Clifton, tWenty
miles below, WheEe We took some fifteen mofe.
There are probably q few more Of onr voluh.
teeIs at Pittsburg Landing, and about fifteen 10
the hospitals at Savannah, that ought TO be 70
moved.
