Information having been received at these
Headquarters that the rebel marauders who

frontier towns to adopt the most prompt
and efficient measures for the security of
their lives and property. All military COM
manders in the frontiers are therefore in
structed, in case further acts of depreda-
tion and murderare attempted, whether by
marauders or persons acting under conf
mission from the rebel authorities at Rich

possible, while In the commission OF their
crimes; orif it be necessary, with view to
their capture, to cross the boundary be-
tween the United States and Canada. Said

them wherever they may take refuge, and
il captured, they are, under no crcum-
stances, to be surrendered, but are to be
sent 10 tneSe headquarters lOr Irldl anu

The Major General commanding the de-
partment will not hesitate to exercise to the
fullest extent the authority he possesses

Rarbarities and Retaliation.

| A citizen of Rochester, New York. now
at Memphis, Tenn, who is a well-known and
warm supporter of President LINCOLN,
writes to the editor of the Rochester Union,
and says:
ale is satisfied that what was told of the
cruelty of the rebels at Fort Pillow is true
that the negroes were slaughtered there
without mercy. But he adds, that the ne
gro troops in Tennessee had been guilty of
great brutality to whites who were not re-
garded as very friendly to the Union cause.
In one instance that came to his knowledge,
party of these troops entered house, and
one of them threw pan of hot embers into
a cradle where an infant was sleeping, and
burned the little innocent in most ock-
ing manner. In an other instance they
seized a very corpulent old man,
put rope about his neck and
dragged him to and fro till he was near
ly lifeless. Appeals were made to the of
ficers i'm command of the district where
these outrages were perpetrated, but no
satisfaction could be obtained. These mat
ters became known to the rebel troops and
they went into Fort Pillow burning for re-
venge and there gratitied their wicked
spirit. In consequence of this license given
to troops to commit any outrage their baser
passions might suggest the war has become
one of the most fendish character and ex-
termination appears to be the end and OBJ
ject for which fighting is carried on. The
policy of the fanatics of New England now
prevails and they are enjoying it to the full
est extent"

Was the Battle of the Wilderness
.s.e N Victory?

A distinguished foreign officer who wit
messed the battle of the Wilderness through
out, and followed attentively all our move
ments without participating in the fight,
sums up the effect of that bloody conflict
in the following manner:
Preservation of the battle field by the
Union forces; failure of the rebels in driv-
ing them out of it; repulse of the Union
forces whenever they attempted to attack
any of the rebel intrenchments; superior
ity of the rebel tactics on the battle field I;
voluntary withdrawal of the rebels. All
these elements taken into consideration, he
arrives at the conclusion that the rebels
have not been compelled to fall back by
reason of the fighting; but, judging from
the action in military point of view, the
battle of the Wilderness may be called a
drawn battle. He says also that the man
ner in which both parties were located IN
clines him to think that our loss must be
far greater than that of the rebels.
He does not indulge in the common be-
lief that the retreat of Lee has been brought
about by failure, but by causes discon-
nected with the actual conflict, such as
Gen. Buffers demonstration against Rich
mond; the fear of being cut in his rear
from his basis of supply; the necessity of
restoring his communication with North
Carolina, &c. In his estimation, no other
reasons but the pressing necessity of pro-
tecting his rear can be assigned for the re-
treat of the rebels. .

The News.

Since the commencement of the great on
ward movement of General GRANTS Army,
The DAILY STATESMAN has furnished the
public with the exciting and interesting
news not only far in advance, in several in
stances, of its contemporaries, but in much
more full, complete, and satisfactory style.
We give our readers Gu the news there is
Going worth printing, from whatever source,
North or South, East or West.
Another of the series of terrific and
bloody battles was fought on the river Po,
on Tuesday, pretty full account of which
we publish on the next page. Both armies
fought with a fierceness and desperation
not surpassed since the beginning of this
mournfully destructive war; and, for the
length of it, no battle has been character
lied by greater fatality. The dead were
literally piled in heaps, and the wounded
filled the air with lamentations. Night
closed in and left us the victors; and on
every side our lines are slowly but surely
advancing.

The Price of printing Paper.

The exorbitant price of printing paper is
becomea serious matter to newspaper pub
fishers throughout the country: The New
York Express says:
The enormous price of paper was before
the Associated Press of the country at the
meeting in this city on Wednesday. Some
of the members of the Association have re-
solved to enter again upon the importation
of paper, as what is sold here for TX and
18 cents per pound can be bought abroad
for " cents. This would make the i'm
portation profitable to the importer. Paper
which commanded s and cents pound in
1861, is now sold, and of a poor quality, al
18 cents. 1t is known also that one party
in this city have paper stock of 500, 600
waiting a rise in the Market and Others
more or less.
