The Horrors of Guerilla Warfare and
How to Prevent 1t,

Guerilla warfare is murder by whole
sale-universal assassination. As pursued
in parts of Missouri, Kentucky, and Ten.
nessee, it partakes of all the meanness of
cowardice, and all the responsiveness of
crime. 1t is prevalent there, because the
Union forces, while they have been strong
enough to conquer rebel armies, have not
been strong enough to enforce order among
the rebel people. Indeed, our arms and au-
thority have been pitted against and exer~
cised over the regularly organized forces of
the enemy alone, while both have been EN-.
ployed in protecting, and conserving the
strength and resources of the unenlisted
rebels. And it is from this latter class,
which has generally been improved and
strengthened by the presence of cur armies,
that the guerrillas have sprung. And if
we were to 60 into the field hereafter, as we
have gone, with just forces enough to gain
doubtful victories, the crop OF guerrillas
would be perennial, if not eternal.
The way to stop guerilla warfare. is to
overwhelm the Southern people by force of
numbers, and with rigorous policies to
match. Our armies must bear upon them
with the force of avaanches, and with their
sweeping destructiveness. No green thing
should be left in the track of our avenging
forces; nor any living male thing that
would not submit to and aid the authority
Of the loyal government. Treason should
be treated as the "sum of human villainies,'
and the Guerilla as the monster production
of the crime, objectionable as be is merci-
less. Paper proclamations will not abate
the Guerilla. Nothing but lead and hemp
prompt and invariable killing-will wipe
him out as feature of the rebellion.

Disaster in East Tennessee.

The national forces numbering three thou.
sand men, near Cumberland Gap, were
attacked on the eth inst. by rebel force
estimated at twelve or fifteen thousand, and
after severe fight of four hours were com.
PEELED to retreat, and force of rebels hav.
ing gained their rear, were obliged to sur
render, and leave East Tennessee again in
the hands of the rebels. This is a serious
disaster, and we may soon expect to hear
that Kentucky is invaded in force.

The Late Indian Disturbances at the
Upper Sioux Agency.


We are informed that dispatch has
just been received by Col. Thompson, Su
perintendent of Indian Affairs, from Major
Galbraith, United States Indian Agent at
the Yellow Medicine" in relation to the
recent rumors of difficulties between the In.
dians and the Government authorities at
that Agency, growing out of disappoint-
ment experienced by the various bands, in
not receiving their annuity money.
The statement of the Agent substantiates
to some extent, the rumors referred to but
we are glad to be able to say, the difi'
culties at the Agency have not been so se'
rious as they were represented.
1t would appear that the United States
Interpreter at Fort Ridgely is, in part, re
sponsible for the acts Of aggression com'
mitted by the Indians-he having suggest
ed to them the criminal act of taking forci
BILE possession of the goods and provisions
stored in the Government warehouse at that
agency.
The Interpreter has been disposed of by
Captain Marsh, the officer in command at
the Fort, who on learning the facts of the
case, promptly and properly arrested him,
and conveyed him to Fort Rldgely, where
he is now imprisoned.
The Agent held council with the Sioux
on the 9th inst, at which they agreed to
receive certain ratiODs and return to their
homes and there await, peaceably, the arri-
val Of their annuity. The provisions were
supplied TO them by Major Galbraith, and
they left the agency as they had promised to
do. Thus, by the energy and determina-
ton manifested by Major Galbraith, Sc
rious distur bance on our frontier has been
prevented; and, we are happy to inform
our readers that e0ery thing is quiet at the
YeNo0 Medicine

Congressional contest
l cordially acquit Mrs. Swisshem and
each OF my worthy competitors, from all

character for truth and consistency, as we'll
as to the many excellent friends who labored
for my success, makes it necessary that

Either of the excellent gentlemen named

greater ability than l could have done, and
am very sure with equal fidelity and pas

Without knowing who has proven the
successful candidate and secured the nomi-

be Donnelly. Smith, Cornell, Benson, or
Mcclure, myself and every friend whom !
can influence will labor just as heartily for
his success, as we should have done for nv

Murder of General Robeis lTcCooIx

We publish elsewhere an interesting &C
count of the assassination of General ROB-
ERr McCooK by guerlllas in a part of Ala
bama occupied by our troops. The General
was riding in an ambulance, being sick, and
was fired on by bushwhackers. 10 retalia-
ton for this murder, his men hung seventeen
guerilIas and devastated the country. The
rebels found assassination to be anything
but profitable business.
General NcCCOK was young man in
the prime of hte-nOt over thirty five years.
He was considered to be one of the most
promising officers from Ohio. He was an
unmarried man, but it was understood that
he was afianc2d to daughter of Governor
Dennison. His death, under the barbarous
circumstances, creates deep feeling through
out Ohio.
Captain BROOKE spoken of in the &C.
count published, is HUNTER BROOKE, for
merly resident of this city, employed in
the Office of the Surveyor General.
