W JEFF. Davis declares in general order
that whenever We hang SPY or guerrilla he will
re;aliate by hanging Union officer. Well,
there is no evil without its attendant good, and
it is hardly possible that the inaguration of such
a policy on the part of the rebels might have

standing that they we're to be hung as soon as
they surrender, we are inclined to think there
would be less surrendering and more fighting
