lie published for the information and gov

ExECUTIvE MAHsIoN,
Washington, July 80, 1868. s.
tits the duty of every government to give
protection to it's citizens, of whatever class,
color or condition, and especially those
who areiduly organized United States SOL
diers in the public service. The law OF ma
tions and the usages and customs OF
war,eas carried eou-by civilized powers
permit no distinction as TO color IN the
treatment of prisoners of war as ipuo-
lie enemies. To sell or enslave any caPt9r-
ed person on account OF hts color, ano torp
no offense against the laws of war, 10 u
relapse into ,barbarism and crime against
the civilization of the age. The Govern
of the United States will give the same
protection to all It's soldiers, and il the
enemy shall sell or enslaye any one because
of his color the offense shall lie punished
by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners
ia our possession II is therefore ordered
that for. every soldier OF the United States
Killed in violation OF the laws rebel soldier
shall be executed, and for every one enslay-
ed by the enemy or sold into slavery "a rebel
soldier shall be placed at hard labor on the
public works, and continued at such labor

I By order Of the Secretary of War. asrog
r. .-sssJ E. D, TOWNSEND, Adiutant Gen.
We gave copy Of the above order
in our kilograms. yasteraay. IL is a most
important war paper aud therefore we re.
produce it to day. The President has ta-
ken step WHICH every loyal man viii l
heartily applaud and sustain. The au-
aouucemeut OF the determination of the
Government to make the Federal uniform
respected, no odds who wears it, is doc.
trine that will soon put the bullying and
bravado of the rebels to the test. We have
"a vast majority OF prisoners 10 our hands
now and we CAP coerce u respect which we
were poWerleSs to enforce few weeks ago.
This order is especially important now in
asmuch AS we see that General Thomas is
again to proceed South to enter more ex-
tensively than ever into The work of or
ganiSing negro regiments. He has already
put some twenty thousand men under drill,
aud go entirely successful was his mission,
and SO satisfactory the experiment in the
recent battles iu the Southwest, that the
Government has Determined to push on
the work and absorb teus ct thousands of
i,the freed negroes into the army: General
| Thomas is satisfied, SO he reports, that
they will in time prove themselves iuvalu-
able troops. They enlist willingly aud
! fight braveIy. He believes that in a very
short time he can fill up the places of the
nine months men with Grant aud Banks
whose enlistmeuts have recently expired.

vaIIandishaun Gone into Retirement
Vallandigham has left the Clifton House
Niagara Falls, and retired to less expen-
siye retreat few miles distant from the
Falls. A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says: .'.si. a-s
a AS Ihave before stated, the exhibition
of the Great Bsnished at this point has not
begun to pay expenses. The SymDatbi-
zing auditors have been few in number,
poor in political and personal antecedents,
and not at all strong or cordial in their
condolences. Most Of them came to take
alOok at him as curiosity rather than
mingle their tears with1his. His address
to the people of Ohio, issued from this
point, SO utteoly maleyolent and disloyal
in its tone and utterance, was a very wet
blanket to large number of people and
politicians who, at The outset Of his mis-
fortunes, were disposed to regard him as
a martyr, and felt desirous of extending
to him symptahising hand. They
nave not been near him, nor will they
and now he goes into retirement" rt

of every good man. Looking at the phe-
nomena on which we have just remarked,
what lesson do they teach? Here is pop
ulatiou composed, evidently, of two ele.
ments the most numerous class-the COM
mon peoples ready for q return to the
Unien the least numerous-the. slave
holders and pIanters-isas defiant as ever,
as hostile to the Uuion and as determined
to destroy it. What should be done in
these circumstances 1t is tolerably cer-
tain that if the "plaiu people" OF. the South,
to use phrase of the Presidents conld to-
day express their desires peace and Union
and law aud order would be restored at once.
But they are in thel hands of the other
class, who have seized the supreme polit'
icsl power, and will not surrender 1t
till forced. Our task 10, thenI to release
the southern people from these masters;
we must crush the ruling class In the
South we are forced to do this, in order
to rescue the people and give them an op-
poTtunity to make their Wishes felt; and as
with every day the war lasts the sutferiugsi
of the Southern people become more Sc
we're, it is clearly our duty to use the most
energetic measures for crushing out the
idespotism under which they lie PROSTATE,
and. for making powerless or expelling
from the country the despots. If the best
way to do this is by humblipg ourselves to
these, by offers ofipsace and Cancellation,
and by. refusing reinforcemeDts TO our ar ii.
mics, then the leaders Of the so;called
Democratic party in this State are in the
right. But if the most effective way to
relieve the people, Of the South is to dee
stroy their tyrsnts, TO disable and impov-
erish those who hays used their peculiar
wealth and position to co1spire against the
naonIe and N nraVant all further attamnta

A Beautiful Extract.

It was night-Jerusalem slept as quiet
ly amid her hills as q child upon the
breast Of i,s mother. The noiseless sen.
tinel stood like statute at his poat and
the philosophers lamp burned dimly in
the recesses Of his chamber.
d But moral darkness involved the ma
tions in its unlighted shadows. Reason
shed a faint glimmering over the minds
Of men. like the cold and insufficient light
of distant star. The Immortality Of
mans spiritual nature was unknown, his
relations unto heaven undiscovered, and
his future destiny obscnred in cloud Of
mystery.
1t was at this period that two forms of
ETHEREAL mould hoversd about the land Of
Gods chosen people. They seemed like
sister angels sent to earth on some en-
bassy of love. The one, of majestic sta
ture, and we'll formed limbs, which her
snowy drapery hardly concealed, in her
erect bearing and steady eye, exhibited
the highest degree Of strength and conf.
dence. Her right arm was extended in an
impressive gesture upward, where night
appeared to have placed her darkest pa.
vilion; while on the left reclined her
delicate companion, in form and counte-
nance the contrast Of the other, for she
was dropping like flower when moisten
ed with refreshing dews, aud her bright
but troubled eyes scanned the air with
varying g!ances. Suddenly light, like
the sun, flashed from the heavens, aud
Faith and Hope hailed with exulting
songs the ascending star Of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and the stranger
was seen in Jerusalem. He was meek
unassum:ng man, whose bappines seemed
to consist in acts Of benevolencs to the
human race. There were deep traces of
sorrow on his countenance, though no one
knew why he grieyed for he lived in the
practice Of every virtue, aud was loyed
by oil the good and wise. BY aud by it
was rumored that the stranger worked
miracles; that the blind saw, and the
dumb spake, and the ocean moderated its
chafing time, and the very thunder arti'
culated: He is the Son Of God. Envy
assailed him TO death. Slowly and thick
rirdei he ascended the hill of Calyary-
A heavy cross bent him to the earth. But
Faith leaned on his arm, and Hope dip
