~ The friends Of soldiers who have
died in the service, II they desire to
procure for them q suitable monument,
or tombstone. cannot do better than
send their orders to Mr.. H. r. Charles.
worth Of Portsmouth. His designs are
unique, and must be seen to be ap-
precisted.
By the way. allow us to make a
suggestion to the friends of deceased
soldiers who may be unable to procure
their bodies in consequences of the for.
tunes Of war placing them within the
enemies lines.
There would be no improperly in
erecting neat monument in the fami-
iy burying ground, to their memory.
even though their bodies rest in other
lands. This is done in the Corgression-
al burying ground at Washington fre-
quently. Members Of Congress who
die there are often removed, yet neat
tablet IS erected to their memory in the
grounds appropriated for that purpose.
Why not do the same for our brave
soldiers Whe have died on the field of
battlee Surely their services are wor.
thy OF remembrance, and in what vay
more becoming than by a neat and
chaste marble erected BY their loving
friends. After ages will delight to look
spon it, and whilst the marble itself
sndures. the memory Of these gallant
men win be recalled BY the inscription
thereon, that they died on the field of
hOnor.ss We make the suggestion.-
Those who may adopt it. cannot fail to
be pleased by calling on our friend H.

Eg General Blunt, commanding the
District of Kansas, has lately issued an
order which. If enforced as il doubtless
will be. will speedily put an end to
guerrilla warfare in that Department.
The substance Of the order is, that
when guerrillss are found with arms in
their hands "they are not 10 be treated
as belligerents, according to the rules
of civilized warfare" but as insurgents.
and should "suffer DEATH" When such
persons are taken prisoners-whieh
should as much az possible Be avoided
"they are at once to be tried" by q
military commission and if found guilty,
"be shot or hung without delay" .s
The same order would have highly
beneficial effect in West virginia.-
Taking such fellows prisoners, is no
punishment. but rather q blessing to
them. We have had practical illustra.
tions Of that very frequently. Let our
men be directed "to avoid taking pris.
oners," and farmers by day and mur.
derers by night. will soon "vamose''
or quit their unlawful business. Un.
Ill something Of thi, kind is done. we
may expect raids BY jenkins and his
gang during ths next summer a. short
intervals.
