GEs. BUELL.-In the early period of the

~ Under authority from Gen. Roseerans.
Gen Edwin Price has visited the camps ofPcr-
kins and Holtzcltw, in Missouri. The object is
10 learn if they are regularly commissioned of
fcers or guerrillas. If the former is the case.
Gen. Rosecrans proposes to hold the Confeter-
ate Government responsible for their acts; if
not, then he will treat them as highwaymcn."
1t IS much to be regretted that circumstan-
ces have been such as to prevent our govern
ment from enforcing the rights Of citizens of
the Confederate States to defend their homes
against the enemy, without subjccting them
selves to the penalties of ftlons The law OF
nations upon the subject is unqucstioned Git
liens OF hostile powers have no right 10 prose
cute ofensire wars against each ether. unless
under some commission from their respective
governments. All citizens Of an inraded coun-
Try have the right, singly or in bodies, without
any commission vhatever, to resist the approach
Of the enemy and do all in their power To drive
him away. If taken they entitled to the
consideration OF prisoners of war. We should
keep this clearly in our mind for action at the
proper time and not waive the point
The rule is thus laid down by Chancellor
Kent in MS commentaries. vol |. marginal page
81:
although a state of war puts all the subjects
Of the one nation in 4 state Of hostility with
those of the other. yet. by the customary law
Of Europe, every individual is not allowed to
fall upon the enemy. II subjects conne them
selves TO simple defence. they are to be consld-
cred as acting under the presumed order of the
state and are entitled to be treated by the adver-
sary as lawful enemies. and the captures which
they make in such case. are allow ed To be law
tul prize. But they cannot engage in often
sive hostiliiies, without the express permission
Of their sovereign; aud il they have not aregu-
lar commission, rs evidence of that consent,
they the hazard of being treated by the en-
cmy as lawlcss bandtti, not entitled to the pro-
lection Of the m!tigated rules of modern war

the right to do all in his power to drive the en-

rr Empress from New Drhans M III. Louis wa
on the 10th, mile anl half hrlow Gains
Landing, attacked hv rebel battery of : guns
to l2-poundrr~ Tho battery was supported
by $500 infantry. The officers report there
were l06 shots fired from the battery. sixty oi
which took effect, killing Capt. Joseph Molloy,
captain Of the Empress Hi head waS com
rlrtcly shot off while standing i'll tho door ~
his stateroom in thu Texas.
1.-THE names are given Of four others killed.
four mortally wounded, and nine. with many
others, slightly.l
There were 500 persons on beard including
officers and crew, aId In passengers, including
300 discharged soldiers Many Of them were
sick. There were GO ladies and chil,,rcn in the
babn.
The first shot from the battery broke the cam.
rod of tho arboard enginr. This was soon rc-
paired, when the doctor engine was struck aud
broke. which prevented fhr boilers from rrcciv-
ing supply of water AZ this critical moment
and as the Empress ras drifting hcplrssiv to-
ward the west shore, whore the battery was To-
Gated. the runboat No 8 arrived and in the face
of the storm of shot and she'll took the Empress
in tow and engaged The battery and saved thr
lives OF the people on board hy shrliing the
woods along the shore that were filled with
sharrShooterS.
The gunboat towad the Empress five miles
ashore TO place Of safety, where the damages
were sufficiently repaired 20 allow her 10 proceed.
She was accompanied for - miles on her way BY
the gunboat. The officers Of thu Empress mil
the passengers urit- in awarding great praise II
Capt. Baldwin of the gtInboat.
The attack upon the boat lasted about thirty
minutes and the scene among the passengers
one of ndcscribablr terror.
Brig Gen. Mcneil was passenger, aul dur
ing the storm of iron from shore was cool aud
ever present TO render All possible assistance fol
the protection Of the lives Ut the passengers.
I'VE are glad he escaped. We hope to hear
of his meeting with some storncr reirbution than
the death of an honorable man.
Another account says:
The firing lasted thirty minutes Ono hun.
dred and twenty shots were fired, Of which sixty
struck the boat, n,aHy bursting in the hold, cabin
and other parts. Eleven shots entered the hui!
and four balls Were seen To pass entirely through
the boat from the stern, and out over the fore.
castle, without inJnrinE anybody. The first hv,
shots were directed toward the engine boilers
which wero measutablv protected by q large
number of mules being on the lower guards, Is
of which were killed. An artilleIiSt on hoard
SAYS he never saw guns so well served before
and il is wonderful no more execution wac done

ET7An Ohio paper states that Peter Couklin,
citizen of that Stai', has been sent to the pen
itentiary in Canada FOX 2i years, for the crime
of obtaining men in Canada and inducing them
to enlist in the United States army. Il the Laws
on this subject were half well enforced in
England and Ireland, it would speak better for
their pretended neutrality. But President Da-
Wis was right. The action Of the British gov
ernment has been really hostile 10 us from the
beginning. At least we begin to know our friends,
aud are not that Canada is not amongst
them. Not that she likes Us particularly, bur
that she hates the Yankee more. Indeed, the
whole world hates and derides the spirit of the
Northern people, and we in old times felt our
share of this from our ronneNion with them.
