CINCINNATI O.. May 10, 1862
| II is now pretty certain what we are TO eApec'
.osr we have conquered the South. The South
wan;festly expects to save lis fighting men from cap
,ure or slaughter by running and then, where they
ora too much demorazed to be longer an army, 70
r,cuze them into guerrilla bands, with the expec'a
tou Of making any occupation Of their territory 80
ro,;lous and uncomfortable as finally 70 drive MS
svav through exhaustion. Ia the territory which
we have already occapied The guerrilla programme
bss already been olened. Our steamers have been
fred into on the Cumberland and Tennessee
Piyers travelling parties have been captured
hetv,een towns under military occupation; ana, al
las. in the daring attack on the train at Cave City,
XIV. the climax is capped. In Western Virginia
whence. year ago, Mcclellan announced that he
had entirely extipated rebellion the has turned
entirely into guerrilla war, on their part that will
do more TO make Unionsm dangerous TO the Virgin
lana than augh else. In certain counties Of Western
Virginia the sad tragedies of Eastern Tennessee are
spprehended. 1t is almost impossible 20 occupy Ali
tie towns and villages through which our armies
pass but, unless this is done, our path behind us is
Gown with dangers.
From one scale the naturalist will describe you
the entire ish that bore il. From the way IN winch
see aud Western Virginia, the way in which we
shall occupy the $50 miles square Of Rebeldom may
be inferred. There is TO be perpetual terror trouble
and loss.
How long win ar Government shut its eyes to
the absolute necessity Of transhXng these MURDER
ous usgueFila bands their homes by opening the door
to the wdes, and freest escape of slaves proc
Lmaton TO this effect would AT once change every
guerrilla band into patrol to watch slaves. But
unti the slave is declared free, our noble men are 10
Iul1,
10 no defense.
Oar experiences in the places which we NOM
naily occupying demonstrate that no military occu-
psBcy OF Tie entire South Is possible without Enan-
cpalon
Sad news comes to us concerning our army in
Tennessee. II seems that nearly every soldier that
goes there is at seized with bad dysen'ery,
which is usually attributed to the water of that
Yeeiou The warm weatt is adding 10 this the
typhoid the bilious And another fever TO which the
rsiives give the ssid 20 be very graphic) Of
Brtak60Rs in hich every bone III the body feels
if it were broken. IL is a cousin-gernan 10 the
ty,bus. Between all these IT is said that at least
l Geo0 OF our braves in the South-West are pros
| tate.
Ii is lees than doubtful too whether our Northern
pbysicians understand the peculiar forms Of these
tevers; though 1t is not doubtful that the doses are
rroportioneo 10 the greatness Of glorious fabric.
| q Dr. Holmes would say; that The American eagle
screams over doses of 30 grains of eaonel and the
Sar-Spanged Banner waves over quantities Of castor
oil, jalap, and qunine, suggestive OF our glorious
| hkes and incomparS lie rivers.
TIE TRIBUNE, l observe, agrees with The 81.
Loa.s Republican, for once, aud j, is in requesting
/ the Government 10 indicate and hold TO a distinct
| policy on the Slavery matter, aud one which shall
! nske more consistent working throughout our ns
iOnal lines. But apprehendthat you and your 81.
S. Louis cOempoTary have different hopes in the mat
er the ST Louis man hopes TO drag the whole nation
/ ald amy downto Halleck's Order No. 3-THE TRIB-
thinks that the Government would slay and bury
| sD such orders. (And why, while Mcdowell is re-
esying slavee, freeing and organizing them the in
hmous order OF Ilaileck Is permitted still 10 dis-
Csee the West and stain iis every victory, Heaven
| uly knows y But if the Government is not equal
tthe plain duty Of oyerruLng the Order No. 3, the
"blOt Oh the 'scutch con- of Iialleck, il il 10 be
| kared that the time for establishing uniform
policy bss not arrived yet and that the Government
! had test continue III lis glorious Inconsistency.
Bot there is one point where there is a serious
fault, and pressing need OF uniform policy To,
rs who live on The Border there is daily scandal
Arising from the folly, ignorance, or secret disloy
atty OF our judges, Qusrermasters, Marshals, Sc,
respecting tbeir treatment Of Rebel prisoners. No
sOoOet haye got over the shock Of having Slavery
| Ype.uated IN Camp Chase, where loyal blacks were
| rpr1soned to serve Rebels, than we must gee Con-
tderate officers, with full uniforms and swords pa
ndne the streets of tee capital of Ohio, one or two

had a full suit Of Confederate uniform made by
II Columbus tailorl)
Bat fresh case has caused no little indignation in
| our city. Last week a number of distinguished Sc
tession pri:oners were brought through Cincinnati,
| 90 tier way to Camp Chase. The officers who had
hsa in charge stopped day at the Burnet
| House, ordered for the party glorious dinner, and
] otsrward introduced them into the billiard room,
vhere the gentlemen" spen: the afternoon playing.

Ieat ever came through the city. Several OF these
men have the blood of hundreds of brethren on
ltelr hands: ore was arrested as a spy. For Their
tkxurious and indecent stay here the United States
tGoyernment foots the bill.

lave much 10 attend to- but cannot they give orders
