RetributiOn Swift and Sure.

Some months ago, two rebel officers
whose names we do not now remember
came into the federal lines, in Burnside's
Department, for the purpose Of ascertaining
the extent Of our works, the number o
men, &c. They were in disguise, and pre-.
tended to be officers of the Federal army.
They were soon suspicioned and arrested,
tried, condemned, and executed as spies, as,
under the rules and practices of warfare
they ought to have been.
Enraged at what they are pleased to term
the murder OF two Of their men, the rebels
proposed to retaliate by hanging Captains
Sawyer and Flynn, now prisoners in the
Libby Prison at Richmond.
We are glad to find that our Government
has an eye on the villains, and that the
spil!iug of blood will be followed by speedy
retribution, as will be seen by the following
item which we clip from the St. Paul Press
Of tho Oath inst:
The rebel Genera! Fitz Hugh Lee and
Capt. Winder have been selected by our
Government as hostages for Captains Saw.
yer and Flynn, under sentence Of death in
the Libby Prison at Richmond. They have
boen placed IN confinement at Fort Monroe
and the reeels notified that they will be ex-
ecuted, it they carry out their threat to-
wards our condemned officers. Fitz Hugh
Leo is nephew Of General Lee, and we
presume Capt. Winder is relative, perhaps
son, OF General Winder, who ordered the
execution of the Federal Captains.
