10 We would be glad to notice our military
friends, with regiments or companies. But as
there is danger thereby of giving the enemy

extremely solicitous of doing nothing to embar-

GEM PRICE-VVe cannot helm think

GEM. PRICE.-We cannot help think
ing that our friend of the Gazette is
+" leetle too tight" on Gen. Price. We
have been accustomed to a high admira-
ton Of this distinguished Missourian. He
has certainly accomplished much useful
work under the most adverse circum-
stances imaginable. He aud Stonewaii
jackson, have been perhaps the most de-
TIRE generals Of this wpr- Aud we must
confess that but for the business which
Price, with his raw, ill-clad, and ill-armed
recruits, afforded the Federals 10 Missouri,
the chances are strorg that they with Late
aud the Jayhawkers would have oyerruh
our State before this.
Still candor compels Us to admit, that
we DO not accord him credit for sufficient
military knowledge or experience, to com
maud the trans-Mississippi department
And to go further also. and declare that if
Gen. Price does make it condition of
further serving his country that lie shall
be put Ia that command, he evinces there
BY arrogance, and want of patriotism, and
should be rebuked by having his re>igna-
ton promptly accepted. Every one should
work faithfully in the position assigned
him.
We hope it Is a mistake, aud that Gen.
Price will not all. the laurels which now
flourish upoa lis brow, to be wilicd by
the public disapprObation which would
follow such conduct.

dictate to, us evils possible and indeed probable,
to the families of all the citizens of the South,
in districts overrun by the enemy. Its a fiend-
ish effort to force the acceptance of Northern
invaders into the intimacy of private circles.
II is the first time in the history of the world
that warfare has been conducted by operating
ing upon the fears and shrinking delicacy of
the sex, which, in all ages, amongst christian
people, has been held privileged and sacred
from violence.
Only one course remains for oar military
leaders. Of course no city can be safely sur
rendered to an enemy in view of such prospec-
tive horrors. No country left even temporarily
in their possession. The ladies are fully emit
tied to the protection of that purity which is
dearcr than life. Such evils as may befall
them are not subjects of retaliation. Like for
ike will not do in these cases. 1t is new
mode Of warfare, and juslifes new principles
of defence
If we are recognized as belligerants, our
families cannot be treated as criminals and
outcasts. We should imperatively require it
ton against the brutality of their officers and
men. The time has long since passed when
women may be abandoned TO the lust of cor
quering soldiers. We should require 1t of
item, that all outrages of this sort, be pun
i>hed promptly, and by death; and that every
officer so far forgetting what becomes his COM
N ssion, as to behave with wanton rudeness,
be cashicrd. Otherwise, farewell to all the
code of civilized warfare. Better the husband
ami father to die with wife daughter upon the
threshold than ever surrender Nothing re-
mains but the black flag, and let God be judge
who is responsible for the terrible carnage.
And, in conclusion let Us commend this fea-
tire of the enemy to such vile and pitiful
towards and time servers, as, in the places
overrun by the enemy. advocate the restora-
ton Of the Union. Such are your associates.
These the pinks of superior intelligence. Oh!
Tor shame. Better be in your graves. Better
The green sod over your bosoms than to live
with the hiss of infinite scorn in your ears and
die with the dark pool of everlasting infamy
over Your memories

We learn from Dr.. Eyerson, that a very
sgeraVstsd case Of ''lynoh law occurred
near Clinton q few days since. The cir
oumftanoes detailed to Us are IS follows:
A tenant by the name Of Ray, residing on
Alarm belonging to Mr. Lane, Was arrested
for stealing S400 from the house Of one
Howard in the neighborhood. The evidence
edduced not being sufficient to hold the
prisoners for further examination, he was
acquitted, returned home, and again COM
menoed his labor Of blowing on the farm
Of Mr.. Lane. while thus engaged, How
ard, accompanied by some members Of his
own family, entered the enclosure, seized
Ray, and carried him by force to neigh
boring timber. where, adjusting p rope to
his heels, and throwing It over limb,
they drew him mp. After continuing
this sport for some time, changed their
Hsods,s opsFdnd, and tWined the rope Ground
his neck, drawing him tree.top-Wsrds nine
times Finding himself fast sinking, and
to save his life, he confessed that be had
stolen the money, and It would be found
under some wheat, where Of course moth
ING Was found. Hsying thus secured his
release, he Immediately hsstened to town,
and had tho batch Of self-sonstituted
hangmen arrested. We simply give the
circumstances as related to Us, not vouch-
