Shall 1Iurderers and Devils be Respected
When the highwayman attacks the trav-
eler and demands his money or his life, or
psrchanoe both, the man attacked kills the
robber ifhe can, and no questions are ask
ed by the law or the people. Whom the
burglar enters the house at night and steals
whatever of value he can lay his hands
upon, it is a right and duty to shoot him
down, and if his oowardly life goes out as
the bullet goes ia, community upholds the
deed. Now let us apply little of the same
just retribution to the murderers who fll
up the rebel States and dOubly disgrace the
already disgraced rebel armies. They
have put themselves out Of the pale Of civ
iliEation they are no longer worthy to be
called human beings; they are devils who
are allowed on earth for a space to illus
trato their aeenrsed character by deeds that
would put heather msn-eaters to the blush
Ia proof asked for the truth Of these charg-
esq Il will be found on every battlefield,
where the flower Of the loyal land has been
btdehered by dastardly hands after being
al OF or captured; it forces itself upon us
from every burned and sacked Union viii
lage; il cries out from the blood Of muir
dered Union men, and rings in our ears
with the shrieks Of outraged Union wO-
men it comes in groans from the reeking
prisons Of the South, where living, dying
and dead Federal prisoners are thrust with
horrid oaths and fierce imprecaions; it
Uses from the trenches where the rebels
ave piled our dead in indiscriminate mass
., with not enough Of their mother earth
,bOve them to save their bodies from the
arrion crows; it comes to us from Bull
Run, where the hospitals were fired by
ebel hands; from Yorktown, where the
paths of the Federals were thickly strewn
with murderOus tOrpedOes from Front
Royal, where Col. Kenley, lying dying in
an ambulance, was shot by rebel soldiery,
and from Winchester where our wounded
men, as they dragged their weary way
through the streets, were shot by women
rom the windows. PrOofl Why, the tor
I lures Ofwhich the Book Of Martyrs opened a
view to our hOrror-stricken childish eyes
are repeated and intensified in all the rec
ord Of rebel treatment Of Unionists in this
war.
Itisupon theheads Of these demons-whO
deserve no less than death-that the people
Of this country demand the righteous PEN
elites Of cOniscatiOn and emancipation;
and he who would oppose either is a sym
pathiser with the perpetrators of such out
RACES. Rights they have forfeited their
rights. Pivilegesl of these they have had
so many that the pampered wretChss
thought to seize the very government that
had supported them in all their course of
education up to the rebelliOus point.
A meeting has been called for tomorrow
night of all who are in favor Of cOnfsca-
ton and emancipation as applied to those
brutal traitors. Let it be a tremendous
meeting, which shall tell to the government.
that the people of Northern Ohio are fully
awake in this matter, and demand that the
murderers of their fathers, sons and broth
ers, shall not escape unpunished

Where NJ - Gones

The Cincinnati Gazette thinks that the
rebel army Of COrinth has gone to rein
force the army at Richmond, preparatory
70 the grand march Of invasion, which has
been 50 often and strongly urged in the
Southern papers and councils. One fact
that it regards as significant in this con-
nection, is that whereas the offensive
poliey party, which includes nearly al the
leading papers, were formerly very loud
in their appeals to the rebel government,
they have, Of late, been very quiet, which
betOkens that they have gained their point
and arc lying back to see the operation Of
their system.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.I
CARo, May 80.
A resident of Northern Mississippi
reached here this morning, after undergo
ing a series Of outrages, the bare recital Of
which causes the blood to thrill and the
check to mantle with shame at the neces-
sity which compels us to recognize the per-
petratOrs thereof as human beings. This
gentleman is wealthy, and until .he break
ing out Of the rebellion was respected His
devotion to the National Government has
driven him an exile from the State of his
choice, because Of his Unien friends, now
imprisoned and compelled to languish in
captivity from which he has happily es-
capped.
am constrained to forbear narration
Of these indignities. He is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the country, and says that
the enemy's forces at COrinth have been
rashly oyerestimated. He knows that
Beauregard's army consists Of 2l3 regi-
ments only, averaging about 300 to each
regiment. That his entire force, including
cavalry, artillery and infantry, will not
exceed 10000 men. These are fed upon
half ratiOns, and scarcely that, Of the
poorest quality. A large amount of pork
at Corinth had spoiled upon their hands,
and the stencil ofthe rotten, purifying mass,
the only meat they have, was perceptible
for miles around Corinth. The rebel army
is fearfulIy deeimated by disease and de-
sertion, and but few recruits are arriving.
Two trains leave Corinth daily, carrying
to the towns on the line Of the different
railroads eentering there sick and disabled
soldiers for hospital treatment. The troops
arriving under the cOnscription act did not
make good the number lost by disease,
death and desertion. The Confederate
States armery at Holly Springs, Miss, was
converted into hospital and filled to over
flowing He also states that Jacksons s
cavalry, who for several weeks since have
ravaged the country on the 0biOn River,
were, in obedience to an order of General
Beauregard, transferred to Bolivar to repel'
an attack of the Federal cavalry to burn
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad
bridge at that place He passed them be-
low Trenton, and estimates their number
at 1900. t-s

HEADQUARTERs IN THE FIELD, !
Nav 0G 1850


May 2G, 1862.
Itelegraphed you concerning the e ght
at Lewisburg, in Greenbrier county, on the
23d inst. Since then I have received the
following add ilional information, which l
haste to write you.
The attack v as made in the morning, by
the rebel Gen. Heath, with three thousand
men. OF these, $500 were engaged. In
addition to this, he had six pieces Of artil-
lery and ssme cavalry. Our effective force
engaged did rot exceed in number 200
men. Our troops marched out to meet the
rebels, and fought them most bravely for
one hour, when the enemy were completely
routed We captured two IL pound rifed
cannon and ciissons, with eighty rounds
of ammunition One OF their pieces was
loaded with canister when captured
In the earlier part Of the engagement
the rebels carried off their killed and
wounded, so that we cannot now ascertain
the amount Of heir losses. They, hOwev-
or, left on the field 38 dead, including sew
eral officers, aad G6 wounded One hun
dred prisoners were taken by US, including
Lieut. Col. Tenney, Major Edgar, and sew
eral minor officers. We captured 300 stand
Of arms. Our loss am happy to say falls
below the first estimate We had l4killed
and 60 wounded. Five Of our pickets were
captured. The rebels in their fight took
time, however, to burn Green River bridge.
Had we had larger number we might
have saved it, but our forces, as it was,
were too weak to do it.
Some Of our wounded wero shot in the
streets Of Lewisburg by citizens, as they
were being taken to the hospitals. Such
barbarity is only excelled by the horrors
of Bull Run. Il seems there is nothing
too vicious and devilish for them to resort
to. How hard must be the heart that
would FIRE upon men, mangled and dying,
when on their way to places where their
last hours might De spent away from the
din and confusion of the battle field. Many
Of these men engaged on our side were
from Miami and Clarke counties, Ohio,
and am sorry I am not able to give the
names of killed and wounded. As soon,
however, as further particulars are re-
ceived, will advise you. The troops be-
haved most brGvely. Our Ohio boys were
as cool as if on parade and fought against
the greatly superior numbers Of the rebels
with steadiness that would have done
honor to regulars, and bravery which
will add new lsurels to the brOws of OhiO's
gallant sons, An effort has been made in
some quarters to blight the fame of the
soldiers of our State, but Mcdowell and
LeWisburg should silence our defamers.
A force under Col Latham, consisting of
the 9th Virginia Vol, and the Sd Connect
icut cavalry, numbering in all 400, sur
prised a band of guerrillas at Sheff's
Mountain, on Saturday, 24th inst, captur-
ing their camp equippage, arms, and some
of their horses, and scattering the rebels
in wild confusion. The particulars we
have not received.

On Friday the Provost Marshal of
Wheeling, together with the Commander
the Post arrested dozen or more of
the prominent seeessiOnists Of the city,
and required them to take the oath Of al
Iegianee or go to Jail. Judge Thompson
refused to take the oath, and was to be
committed to jail on Saturday, after going
home upon his parole to visit his family.
William G0shOrn, known in this city for
his connection with the fugitive Lucy case,
refused to take the oath, and was sent to
jail. It is the intention Of the Provost
Marshal to call upon all who voted for the
aofdinance Of secession, and require them
to take the oath. This most prudent step
IS taken at this time in consequence Of
their having manifested joy at the defeat

Rebel Comments upon Banks Retreat.
As might be supposed would be the case,
the Southern papers are jubilant over the
success of jackson in the Shenandoah Val
ley. The Petersburg Express Of the 9th
says: Yesterday morning early the tele-
graph caused all hearts to rejoice with the
glorious news that Generals Jackson and
Ewell had entered Winchester, taking 2, 900
prisoners and captured all the enemy's
vast ordnance and cOmmissary stOres"-
When Jackson was last heard from he
had captured 4, 900 prisoners, secured small
arms, artillery, ordnance and cOmmissary
stores of great value, and was still in hot
pursuit of the retreating enemy" "What
JacksOns plans are we have not been in
formed. We think it more than probable
however, that he will drive the fleeing coll
umn of Banks into the Potomac, at or near
Harpers Ferry, and then destroy the
bridge Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
at that point For miles and miles he can
then tear up the railroad track, blow up
eulverts and burn bridges. In the mean
time, as it is in his exact route for the des-
truction Of the bridges, he may probably
encounter MilrOy and Scheneks forces at
or near ROmney, serve them in the same
way he has Banks, and then the Valley
will be clear. Or he may come on down to
Stafford, and attack Mcdowell in his rear,
while Anderson, who, at the head of an
army Of Confederates, now cOnfrOnts Nc
Dowell, will be prepared to strike telling
blow at the proper time' A dispatch from
Richmond the 26th says Jackson took pris-
oners the lst Maryland regiment of infant
~ and the 1st Vermont Cavalry at Front
Royal, and 1000 more at Winchester, and
that his own loss was 200 killed and
wounded Ia.ale-
