VERY L1vELY.-If any one has any
donbts relative to the revival of business in

At full capacity. This looks natural-as it did
several years ago before our mills got clogged
with hard times. The demand for lumber
continues active. and the prospect is that the
business will be remunerative this season.

the South, and the orders Issued to the rebel
troops are, mot to make prisoners Of men be-
longing to them." which is tantamount to Civ
ing instructions to murder in cold blood these
brave boys, whenever they fall into their

above information received it from men who
had served 10 the rebel army, and heard The
instructions Issued.
