Enforcing General Order No. 49,

Enforcing General Order No. 49,
A week or two ago we printed General
Order No. 49," from the Headquarters
Departmcnt of the Ohio. The people were
assured that this order would be rigidly en-
forced. Below will be found the proceed.
ings ofa Court Martial, convened to try
persons for violation of this order. We
hope the people Of Belmont county will
reflect upon this matter, and we hope, also,
that the editor Of the Gazette will let his
readers see the findings and sentences be-
low. Everybody should be fully advised Of
this matter, and it will be criminal in the
editor that will refuse to let his readers see
1t, and at the same time encourage them to
commit acts that will bring its penalties up
on their heads.

In the late convictions by court martial
at Cincinnati,. the Enquirer evidently seea
danger to demonstrative Copper headsm. -
Hence it thus gives warning to such as have
been treadins on dangerous ground, that
they modify their common speech, or keep
clear of those who have loyal ears and might
be called upon to testify against them. The
Enquirer says:
We learn from reliable authority that
Gen. burnside is determined to execute his
Order No. Se. This order extends not only
to acts in favor Of rebels, but to words Of
expression of sympathy in their behalf
Two witnesses, hearing any one expressing
hope Tor the SUCCESS of the rebel army, Or
the rebel cause, will be sufficient to convict
the ttierer Of treason, the punishment of
which is death. The only safe course for
such persons, if they cannot get over their
feelings far enough to induce thom to give
an active support to the war, is to let their
communications be yea, yea, nay. nay, for
whatever else than these evil will come OF
It.

ing the following quite amusing incident
at recent hanging Of two Unonists at that
place: a.
DEAR TINES forgot in my last to tell
you ofqute an amusing incident connected
with the hanging of the tory bushwhacker,
TO which | referred last week. | believe |
stated that two bushwhnckers were captur.
cd, both of whom were very properly dealt
with snmmarily by being hanged One of
them had received a shot in the shoulder,
inAictiug painful wound, disabling him
from making his escape. While the officer
was arranging the henpen necklace about
the wounded tory's neck, it produced con.
siderable pain in the wounded shoulder,
which induced him to exclaim: oh! do

be hung My shoulder is so sorcI'
The readers Of the st. Clairsville Gazette

however, to mourn over the treatment of
a few tatterdcmalions Of rebellion who may
be confined in Camp Chase, or anything
else that will favor the rebels.
