Davis TO suppress the Raleigh Standard and

use physical force, revolution in that State
will be the result. II says John Mitchell, ed-
tor of the Richmond Enquirer, is an agent of

Recapture of Suffers Stores.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.
The National Republican of this evening
contains the following announcement on the
subject OF retaliation:
The President has authorized the issuing of
an order that it will be the policy and inten-
ton OF the government to retaliate in kind
for every case of i'll treatment of the officers
and men, black or white, by the rebel authori-
ties by hanging for hanging, shooting for
shooting, and Imprisonment for Imprisonment,
in every instance where it is known that
black man, in the military service of this gov
erment, is taken prisoner aud sold into slavery
our military authorities will be instructed TO
select rebel prisoner, coniine him TO hard
labor in some prison, there 10 remain until the
black man is liberated. The government main
tains, and will exact promptly and to the let
ter, that the federal uniform, like the flag,
must and shall be respected.
Rear Admiral Porter, ina communication
to the Navy Department, says he is not sure
of raising the De Kalb, and cannot yet ascer-
tain her injuries. All the guns and every
thing which could be got out were recovered,
including the Paymaster's book. Cotton has
been seized To pay for the gunboat
In reply to an enquiry OF the Post Office
Department, special agent Gist, at Memphis,
says he has conferred with Capt. Patterson,
commander of the Navy Yard, and Capt. Lew
is, assistant quartermaster of transportation,
and they both concur with him that 1t will be
safe and expedient to send the Washington and
New York mails to New Orleans via the Mis-
sissppi river. Arrangements have been made
for convoy at least once week from Vicks-
burg TO New Orleans, and conveys can be
more frequent when required by the necessi-
ties of the trade or public interest.
The Postmaster General, however, does not
feel himself exactly justified at present in Or
dering this service, but If correspondents wish
their letters to go TO New Orleans by way of
Cairo, they can make their endorsements ac-
cordingly, and they will be sent at the risk of
the writers.
Information has been received at headquar-
tiers of the recapture by the ID Massachusetts
cavalry of all the wagons, men, goods. horses,
&c, taken by Mosby in his late raid at Fair
fax Court House.

is fitting that you should pay last tribute of
respect to the memory of the late Robert
Gould Shaw, Col. of the 54th regiment of Mas
sachusetts volunteers. He commanded the
first regiment of colored soldiers from free
State ever mustered into the United States
service. He fell at the head of his regiment
while leading storming party against the
rebel stronghold. You should cherish in your
Utmost hearts the memory of one who did not
hesitate to sacrifice all the attractions of high
social position, wealth and home and his own
noble life for the sake of humanity, another
martyr to your cause that death has added,
still another hope to your race. The truth and
principles for which he fought and died still
live, and will be indicated on the spot where
he fell and by the ditch into which his manpled
aud bleeding body was thrown. on the soil of
South Carolina. / trust that you will honor
yourselves aud his glorious memory by appro-
priating the first proceeds of your labor as
freemen towards erecting an enduring moru-
ment to the hero, soldier, martyr Robert Gould
