Rebel Atrocities.

The St. Louis Democrat says
"The barbarities practised by guerillas
in Missouri have probably no parallel in
any war on record. They appear to act
more like fiends than men in human forms
and with human impulses. Some of their
atrocities are most horrible to relate. A
few days ago yonng man named Hart
was murdered in St. Francois county, un-
der circumstances of the most revOlting
character. When found asler his capture
by the bushwhackers, he was suspended
from tree in such a way as to have
produced a lingering and excrutiating
death, his hands being tied hehind his
back by hickory thongs passed through
holes bored in his wrists Other marks Of
aggravated torture were found upon his
person. Another case of extraordinary
atrocity was the killing Of an old MethO-
dist preacher named Morris, in Platte
county, a man sixty years of age, whose
eyes were first put cut, and then he was
shot
Numerous other cases almost as bad
have come to our knowledge. The shoot
ing Of innocent, unarmed citizens is q
thing of daily occurrence. The victims
are nearly always radical Union men
Conservatives are rarely disturbed Both
Hart and Morris were peaceable citizens
but unconditional Union men,

A correspondent writing from Vera
Cruz thus describes the new Emperor and
Empress Of Mexico, as they appeared when
riding through the streets Of that city on
the day Of their public entres
The Emperor was dressed like a plain
American gentleman-black coat and
waistcoat and inexpressibles. He isa man
of noble and commanding presence, with
dignity and marked intelligence stamped
upon his face. His hair is inclined to au-
burn, with slight indications of incipient
badness. He carried light drab hat in
his hand, and as the carriage moved along
he necessarily bowed from right to left.
There is an expression of frankness, gener-
osity and kindness on his eouHtenanee,
which at once progresses you in his favor,
though on this occasion he looked very Sc
rious and thoughtful like man who has
taken some vast work in hand, and who
feels the serious responsibility which he
has assumed.
"The Empress, on the other hand, was
all smiles and her head kept moving con-
tinually as she saluted the people. She,
like her husband, was attired in the SIM
plest and most unaffected style She wore
plain silk dress and shawl, and dark
colored bonnet of similar material
The Emperor, we may add, IS in the We
~ hey-day of youthful manhood, being
only twenty-four years of age on the 7th
of June.

sBread and butter are the only articles
Of food Of which we never tire for day,
from early childhood to extreme old age.
A pound of fine -four Of Indian corn meal
contains three times as much meat as one
pound of butchers roast beef, and if the
whole product of the grain, bran and all,
were made into bread, fifteen per cent
more of nutriment would be added. I'm
fortunately the bran, the coarsest part, is
thrown away; the very part which gives
soundness to the bones, and vigOr to the
brain.
Five hundred pounds of fine -four give
to the body thirty pounds of the bony ele-
ment; while the same quantity OF bran
gives one hundred and twenty-five pounds

in palmer phrase, the shortest, safest, and

to the body, bone, and brain, thereby ar

and lazy method Of drinking bitters and

aGeneraL Order, No %:
aBy virtue of authority from the War
Department it is hereby announced that
twenty new regiments of infantry will be
raised in this State for the term of one, two,
or three years, as the recruits may elect
Recruits in these organizations will be en-
titled to the bounties provided by the late
act of Congress, that is, for one year, 500 /;
for two wears, $500, and for three years,
$500, payable in three equal installments,
the first installment payable on the day Of
muster.
zone regiment viii be assigned to each
Congressional District, to be raised among
the counties composing the district, inpro-
portion topopulation ofeach county. One
I'd lieutenant for each company will be ap-
pointed at commencement of the organiz-
alton, and will be Immediately mustered in
tothe United States service. On the compile
ton ofthe companies, the additional officers
will be commissioned aud mustered
These regiments must be complete before
the 9Th of September, and mustered into
the United States service in order that they
may be credited on the quota of the State
under the call of July 18th. Incomplete
companies on the 5th of September, will
be consolidated with other detachments,
and the officers recruiting them will be
assigned to such command nI the consOli-
dated organization as the number of men
recruited by them will entitle them to-
The Military Committees of counties will
please recommend recruiting officers I'M
mediately and have them report here in
person, to receive their commissions and
instructions, and be mustered into service.
1t is suggested that selections for these po-
sitions be made, as far as practicable, from
the officers and soldiers who have served
faithfully in the field and been hOnorably
discharged The field officers will in all
cases be selected from veteran officers OF
known skill and experience in the field,
and who shall prove active in recruiting
these regiments.
" Inasmuch as the time for organizing is
short, it is important that local commit
tees and individuals take immediate action
in the matter and organize in the various
| sub-districts to encourage this recruitment
An opening is here offered for the gallant
soldier who has been educated on the bat
tlefeld, during three years term of ac
tive service, to apply his dearly bought
knowledge, and obtain recognition of hi
former services. 1t requires but a yigor
Gus united effort on the part of our peopli
to fill these regiments; thus securing ex
emption from draft and the prompt rein

sharI,s ON the Connecticut Coast.

The shoals of fish as they come to the
coast this yearare attended by many sharks,
who hang upon their skirts and make prey
of great numbers. At a recent haul of
the seine near the mouth of the Connecticut
River, no less than twenty-one sharks
were caught. The largest were about four
feet long Although these are a variety
of the shark, they are different from the
blue-nosed, shovel-mouthed monster which
inhabits the waters ofthe tropic seas, and
sometimes seizes upon human prey when
he can get no other. But even among
these the instances of attack upon men are
very infrequent.
