BusHwHACKIHa II PENNSYLVANIA
MAJ. Gen. Couch has issued circular calling
upon the inaabitants Of the southern frontier
counties Of Pennsylvania to meet the rebel in
vsdcrs guerrilla fashion. He says
"Your corn-neids. mountains, forests, thick.
cts, buildings. etc, cte., Jprssh Favorable places
Jor cover, and st the ssmo time enable you 70
kill the marsuders."
A perusal OF this circular suggests two or
three considerations. In the hrst place, Gen.
Couch advises the citizens OF Pennsylvania TO
engage in . mode Of warfare which is con.
demned By our Government as unjustiaable
and which has induced our Congress TO pass
"sn act for the more effectuAl punishment ol
guerrillas," providing for them short shrif,
and strong cord.
:, the second place, Gen. Couch, In his cir.
culsr, lays the men Of Pennsylvania under q
serious imputation. 1t Is not very compll
nentary to their courage and patriotism tc
point out "coyers" /" for them to shoot from,
instead Of calling upon them to organize them.
selves Into companies, and thus be enabled to
make themselves effective against bands OF
marauders. Gen. COUGHS circular looks rather
queerly.

only waited for the land forces to get into posi-.
