We nre in receipt Of communication from
,a:t John Wadlcigh, commanding the 1olth
l,inois ut Camp Donglss, desiring lis to Gull
he attention OF abscntccs from that regiment
Int they must immediately return to their
1osts. These abscntccs arc 1nnin]y in Lasallc
.cunty, where they hare been set upon BY the
mad made to believe that they
must not 60 to the war, using us nn argument
That the 104th are not exchanged, or that they
must not fight under the Emancipation Pro-
Of tho President. There are now |
atscnt about one hundred men from this regl- |
mcnt, who In all probability will be arrested |
ard punished as descrters on account OF the |
action of these Coppcrhcads. Their punish
mcnt will be severe, but not half 80 severe Us
the punishment Of tho traitors ought to be,
who arc using every means to cripple Inc
Government and reduce the ranks OF Inc
artpy, They ahould be made to taste the
quality Of hemp. Hanging is almost too good
for the niserablc secession scoundrels, who,
led on by the example Of that blatant traitor,
johnson Of Galena, are doing every thing in
their power to weaken tl1c North. There is
day Of reckoning coming. An outraged peo-
pie will not endure it much longer We
warn them TO desist, or make mp their minds
to abide the consequences Of treason. In the
mean time, We call upon every loyal Union
man In Lasal1c to hunt these miserable trai-
tors to their holes, and unearth them. Let
us know who they are.
We learn that an officer with d detachment
Of men is now in Ottawa, arresting the deser-
ters wherever found. They will be immedi-
ately returned to camp, and court martialed,
and visited with punishment which shall
thoroughly convince them that military law
is not to be triAed with. The communication
desires us to state that all the men Of the
10Th arc required to be in camp before the
Mtl inst, or they will be treated as des:rters.
Return OF Col. A. b. Moore.
Col. A. B. Moore, of Ottawa, commandant Of
the 104th regiment, returned to this city on
Tlurday night, after two months experience
as prisoner in rebcldom.
The Colonel and his command, it will be
recollected, we're captured by the rebels under
Morgan, at Hartsyille, Tenn, on the Eth Of
December. Col. Moore assures us that Whit
t ever prejudiced reports may have gone out
relative to tho circumstances Of his surrender
ut Hartsyiilc, the event was unavoidable, and
would be justified byany council Of military
men who might investigate the facts. 3.
| Col. Moore's two months experience in
rebeldom has been somewhat eVentful. From
| HartsTillc the rebels took him Q Murfrcesboro,
where he was under guard E,r three weeks,
when he was sent to Chattanooga to report
to General Joe. Johnston, who started
him of for Richmond, bus Carter's raid in
East Tennessee, which was in progress at thai
| time, lad cut off the railroad communication
and the train stopped at a place called Jones
boro. Carter's cavalry WAS within ten miles
of them and could readily have captured ths
train, if lc had known Of it, together Will
eco rebels, aud released Eeventy-fve Federa
officers. The train turned back, and, reach
| ing Chattanooga, Colonel Moore was started
of for Vicksburg, but got no further in thai
direction than Montgomery, Alabama, whers
it was ordered that he should 60 By the lowe
route, ria South Carolina, to Richmond
got as far as Atlanta, Georgia, whel
the programme was again changed, and b
was thrust into military prison and dctainet
there one week, when he was once nor
started forward to Richmond" setaich plac
he reached in due time, and was kept In th
loathsome Libby Prison, with many othe
Union prisoners, until week ago last Mon
day, when he was exchanged, went to Wash
ington, and arrived here Thursday night.
