GuERnLAs TO BE HUNG.-An order from
G,n. Halleck, dated at st. Louis on the 18th
ult., says:
Evidence has been received at these head
quarters that Major General Sterling Price
has issued commissions or licenses to certain
bandits in this State authorizing them to raise
guerilla forces, for the purpose Of plunder and
maraudng. Gen. Price ought to know that
such a course is contrary 10 the rules Of civil
lied warfare, and that every man WHO enlists
in such an organization fOrfeits his life and be-
comes an outlay. All persons are hereby
warned that if they join any guerrilla band
they will not, if captured. be treated as ordi-
nary prisoners of war, but will be hung as
robbers and murderers. Their lives shall atone
sor the barbarity Of their General"

her immense weight. she will only draw Is
feet Of water while the Warrior draws 81 feet.
She is 23O feet long, co feet beam, and 25 feet
depth of hold. She will have three full decks.
The declivity in the sides of The new frigate
will render it almost, if not quite, Impossible
for an enemy TO board her, and the iron plates
will be so Constructed as TO project six feet
beyond the stem below water line, which will
enable them to act as b2ltering ram, by
which vessels may be run down and swamped
The iron plates for the vessel will be Is feet
long, about 80 inches broad, and inches
thick The engines are aboEt 1000 horsl

Cooking is power. What makes the great
difference between conjugal felicity and the
reverse? Why, for instance, is young Smith
such an undomesticated dog, always sloping off
TO q club or joining in tavern dinners, or
spending an occasional evening at home in
suiky growing? Is it not because the young
lady knows about as much of cooking as the
f4iry. There is no ability in the parlor, there
is utter incompeteney in the kitchen, and Smith
flies from the dreary alternative OF glory bull
ed and charred roast, to other crimes aud
lawless dissipation. Aud now shift the scene,
and lcok at Browns establishment. He mar
ried, and yet you will recollect the "ah, poor
fellowv' tone in which our set long spoke OF
The event-a girl without money or family,
with eyes Of the goosberry and hair Of flame,
who danced like an ELEPHANT and sang like u
pea-fowl And now what a sLeady-goiug,
inseparable DaFby-and Joan sor! of couple
they are! Why do we all like popping in
there? apart ofcourse, from the delight which
the contemplation oftheir virtuous happiness
creates in our well-regulated minds. Perhaps
Il secondary reason may be found in the deli
cious little dinners and suppers which Mrs.
DTOWu KNOWS now " uiNloc, ala III ''i0 E'NP
arution OF which Irather fancy her little lin-
gers assist. Smith and Brown have then
countcrparts everywhere. And if we might
turn, after the manner ofthe marriage service
from .exhOrting tie gentlemen 10 exhorting til
ladies, we would counsel the latter that moth
ing dctaiBs Cupid like good dinner; that the
best security for the marriage hearth is good
cooking fire upon it. Yes, dear ladies, VI
quite agree with YOU that those men ar,
shockingly destitute Of ethereal natures
Still we BID you feed the wreicles sllilIfuily.-
Those bad dinaels are the wrecks Of many

Rebel Prisoners.

All accounts concur in representing the
rebel prisoners captured, whether in NJ issoq-
ri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
or North Carolina, as a very hard appearing
set Of rank and file. a portion Of those
just captured at WINCHESTER were taken to
Baltimore on the 25t4, and they are thus de-
scribed
Two hundred and thirty rebel prisoners, cap
tured at the battle of Winchester, arrived here
this afternoon, and have been provided with
quarters iq the north wing of the new city Jail,
the most comfortable, probably, they have en-
joyed for many months. They are as misera-
bic, dirty, aud ABOUT as unsodiGrly-lolkn
crowd as ever were seen, They are all Vir=
ginians, with the exception of five or six Bal
timoIeans, who left here before the war broke
out. One of the prisoners, on reaching the
quarters, threw up his hat, and exclaimed,
THANK God. l aIa in the United States ouce
more" Others congratulated themselves at
the prospect of getting something good to eat,
which they had admitted they had not had for
some time.
A letter from Springfield, Missouri, of the
18th, gives this account Of some of the Pea
Ridge prisoners;
Soon after we came, 300 Or 400 prisoners,
taken in the battle of Pea Ridge-the first in
stalment frem the bloody feld-were IAarGhed
into town. Among them were three Metho-
dist preachers and number OF Indians. l
saw them nlarphed out toward St. Louis this
morning, and such set Of ragamufins l new
er before bcheld They were all without uni
forms, clad in homespun. blue or butternut
color, with the oldest hats imaginable, of ali
sizes and shapes. Some Of them loolEed de-
jected, but greater number seemed jolly, al=
though l cannot say whether their cheerful
looks were really natural Or assumed for the oc-
casion.

HOME.

A soldier writes from Camp as follows:
Home comes back to every mans heart in
his houseless and comfortless tent, like a
dream Of the bliss that the Saints haye OF
Heaven, and every mau's wife and every lads
lass, looms up in his lonely and lapguishing
soul, like "apples of gold il pictures Of silver
In confirmation Of this / will state that one
of our best sergeants, just before we started
received the news that his betrothed had mar
ried another man, Others of his comrades
from the same place were also informed oi
il and were disposed to make good joke OF 1t
He appeared as unconcerned as any, ppill 81
ter retiring to his tent for the pight, and al
had become still; when in the gloom OF ths
place. his emotions became too much for hl'
mastery. and he rushed out into camp ra
zipr maniac, and it required several strong
men 10 manage him, and we had to leave hlu
behind in the general hospital with but fam
prospects ofrecoYery.

get out a few more Fruit Trees.

Yes, set out cherry tree by the gate near
the road, and another at the end of the house
to partially shade the sitting room from the
hot sun. The cherry when well trained, forms
regular, symmetrical tree, ornamental at least
when covered with profqsion Ct snow white
bloom, or bending beneath its load of dark rcd
fruit. Set pear tree in the nook by the shed,
and one at each end of the carriage house
They will injure nothing and the RICH soil will
cause them TO grow rapidly, Now put out a
few peach trees along the garden border where
the shade will scarcely injure the vegetables; or
a few trees may lie set compactly 5 feet apart
and the space they would shade be used lor ras-
berries and blackberries.
There is the lane, too, leading to the pasture
which might well have Il row of apple or peaI
trees upon each SIDE, WHICH will injnre the ad
jacent fields far less thau the returns thcy
should give. The road sides, also, can he sci
with apple trees yielding winter fruit. Sucl
single rows of trees usually give better re-
turn than the same lumber of trees in orch
ards Again there is the south side OF the barn
shed, and hovel, yes, and the tight fence upon
the north side of the garden, which might be

Now, reader, look about your buildings
arouna the yards, along the fences, etc, and
see if there is not room for few nIoFe trees
Then go to the nearest nurseryman, il he is a.
honest careful grower, and select your trees
have them taken up with ali the roots, take
them home yithout exposure to the sun, and
set at once in large broad holes, spreading out
the roots and fbres in their natural position, =
If the soil is not rich, add u little old manure
or ground bones at the time of setting, and
hopefully await the result Of your expenditures

The KILLED AMP WoUNDED.-In looking
over the long lists of killed and wounded in
battles, let no reader forget THE CAUSE of these
fearful sacrifices. Thousands Of the bravesI
and truest men III our country lay down their
lives in defense of tie Government Of their
choice-tIe best on earth-against an accurs-
ed revolt prompted by slavery. The father,
whose son, the hope of his declining years, is
registered in the list of "killed"-the vile
widow,d, the children orphaned, the house
hold thus robbed of its solace and stay-let all
these bear in mind that all this is from the sa-
lauic instigation of slavery.
This is no declamation-no fanatical "abo-
lition" invcctive; but certain, undeniabie fact
Every man should ponder it.-S. LOUIS Demo
