Protch. We are not surprised at the gross
villainy exhibited by the man Protch, but we
did not think any ordinary sam would enable

brnzen declaration was supplied by the dispatch
Of Gen. Halleck, announcing that forty.two
Of our officers and men had been poisoned
by eating food which had been drugged and
left in their way by the rebels Of Arkansas.
The Thugs Of India could not conduct war
in more brutal and cowardly way than this.
There is nothing like it Oh record in the mod
ern warfare Of civilized nations. 1t is most
honorable to our soldiers, who had thus lost
their gallant comrades, that, in spite of the
natural abhorcncc awaked Ivy such deed,
they refrained from any retaliatory measures.
We trust the same restraint may always pre-
vnil The defenders Of law and order and
right can never lower themselves to the level
Of assassins, even when most bitterly provoked
by the latter.
