many murdera The rebels win understand
that those who act ~ spies and violate tho
laws Of war win receive no mercy. Nor viii
such examples be without . permanent effect
in closing up the war without unnecessary de-
lays. There are those who hold the opinion
that after the main armies of the rebellion are
defeated and dispersed the conflict will be
carried on by guerilla bands, who will sally
out from strongholds in the mountains to ha-
rass the people and annoy our troops. Rebel
editors both in New York and Richmond, please
themselves with graphic pictures of this style
of warfare, and with calculations as to how long
these guerillas may be able to keep up this
partisanship. But we believe that II anything
Of the kind be undertaken these "farmeD by
day and soldiers by night" will have . very
hard time Of it Undoubtedly they may rob
and murder their own people in the extreme
South, for little while; but they will certainly
be hung on sight II captured. The Southern
people even now dread Wheelers cavalry
more than they dread the Yankees. The rebel
soldiers are decidedly more terrible to their
friends than to their enemies. But the fate
of Beall, Sue Mundy and Kennedy will be
q warning to them not to commit outrages
upon loyal soil, and in . short time the South
ern people will hunt them down like wolves.
Thus we are persuaded, will end the rebel
dreams Of guerilla warfare, and this will be
one of the good effects Of the execution of such
. man as Robert Cobb Kennedy.

The Battle at Petersburg-The Opera
tions In North Carolina.
Once more active operations in front Of
Petersburg are in actual progress, and already
the enemy has met with repulse there that
has doubtless deeimated his army Ever since
last November Lee has been scanning Grants
lines In search Of . Vulnerable point" where
he might hope for success and not merely
waste his men against Grants heavily fortified
lines. He took his time, because it was neces-
sary to be very careful He could not afford
to lose chance or man, And yet the point
that he finally chose was not 80 vulnerable
as it might have been, after all. But the fact
that Lee did have a temporary success is
something in favor Of the keenness of his eye.
His attack was apparently timed on the sup
position that Grant had very greatly weak
ened his own lines in his eagerness to help
Sherman; but that little delusion is dispeled
by this time. Lees attack was no doubt made
in very heavy force. We must wait for the
accounts Of our correspondents for particu-
lars. But the whole affair was splendid one
for us-both the severe repulse Of the enemy
on the right, and the attack by our left that
finally compelled him to give up his attempt
His loss in prisoners and killed and wounded
will foot up six thousand, and that, at the
present time, is terrible loss for Lee.
The news from North Carolina shows the
steady progress Of our operations in that State.
General Schofeld occupied Goldsboro on Tues
day, the 21st, without battle, and on the same
day General Sherman beat the enemy in q
severe fight at Mount Olive. This is later
battle than any that we have heard Of through
the Richmond papers. Mount Olive is nearly
south Of Goldsboro, and at perhaps about
twenty miles distance from that place. AT the
latest account Shcrman's right was at Mount
Olive, while his left was pushing forward in
the line Of Averysboro and Bentonsville. The
line Of retreat Of the bodies beaten by Shcr-
mans left was of course northward, towar dis
Raleigh; and as the battle by his right was
fought two days later, it must have been with
another body Of the enemy. We thus see that
Johnston had either not been able TO concen-
trate in Sherman's front, or that he had been
bewldered and outwitted by Shcrman's move
ments. If the body engaged BY sherman's
right on the 21st retreated toward Raleigh II
had to pass entirely across Shermans front,
and was, in all probability, scattered. These
small battles-of which there have now been
four-have very likely exhausted the power
that the enemy counted upon to fight one
great battle.

New York he has seemed to be either intoxi-
Gated or nervously deranged. After his
arrest he alternately confessed and denied his
guilt. He left o written confession, although
at the gallows' foot he stgmatized his execu-
ton as judicial murder. To the officers he
said that he would have sprinkled the
phosphorous upon ladies' dresses at the Museum
If he could have done so without danger of being
discovered. Again, he said that the affair at the
Museum was merely lark; for he had tried the
phosphorus on wood and found that 1t would
not ignite. After his sentence he would appear
at one moment perfectly resigned TO his fate,
and the next moment he would try some wild
scheme Of escape, such as burning of the lock
Of his cell with red hot poker. On the day
of execution he vacillated between the hero,
the baby and the reckless rebel. For an in
slant he would be as brave as a lion, then he
would cry like child, and then he would in
dulge in secession rawlings The doggerel
which he sung at the gallows was probably in
tended as bit of bravado; but IL astonished
and shocked the spectators, and disgusted the

nounce this fitting end for one who could
deliberately conspire to set fire to building

to burn them to death, as saoisace upon
the altar OF an infamous rebellion.
We have no doubt that the hanging Of Sue

be tried at St Albans, will eaectually pre-
vent any further rebel guerilla ircursions into
