which, if they had proceeded to help themselves by
force, you could but have submited and, being un-

And brushed away tear.

She bregthed a prayer for him

And wiped away a tear.

received by Mayor Henry in patriotic speech

degenerate sons of those men should, ere their

McCook


Our correspondent connected with the d.
vision of Gen. McCook, at Battle Creek, Tenn,
furnishes us with the following authentic ac-
count of the terrible retributior upon the in
habitants living near the scene of the murder.
by the Ohio Ninth -


"The 9th Ohio is German Regiment and
was raised by Brgader General Willck. now
commanding General Johnson's brigade in our
division. The regiment were wholly devoted
to Gen. McCook, they loved him with all the
ardor OF the German soul, and only awaited an
opportunity to attest their fidelity by the most
heroic daring. TO enrage such men, is to en-
sure terrible vengeance.


And this they carried out upon the inhabit-
ants OF the country around the scene of this
cold-hlooded murder. The next morning. the
entire regiment, smarting under the loss of
their noble commander, and their rage intensi-
fled by nursing their passion during the pre-
vious night, proceeded to scour the country.


Every citizen they found they shot or hung
every honse they passed unless positive proof
was given of their Union sentiment, was burned
to the ground with all its contents, while the
women and childron were compelled to stand
by and see it burn.


In this way some seventy-fve citizens were
made to pay the vindic i've penalty for this
guerilla attack, and, undoubtedly, many of them
received a merited DEATH But some, alas, it is
feared suffered wrongfuly, the fearful punish
ment. Some sixty houses were burned also


1t is not my nature to justify such proceed
ings But it can but teach the people of Ten
nessee that in this war there can be but two
sides. They must either be for God or for the
Deyil-for the Union or for Treason. There is
no stand between. Those who seek to occupy
that position, will invariably rue the neutrality
they have maintained. Traveller.

TREACHERoUS EMPLOYMENT OF REBEL FLAGS
OF TRUCE.-'rhe rebels, with all their gascon-
ade about chivalry, high toned sentiment and
honorable observance OF the rules OF war,
have, from the beginning of onf national
troubles practiced the most disgracelul dupli-
city wherever they had chance OF doing so.
There can be no more daslardly proceedings
on the part of belgerent than OF attempting
to gain information of the movements OF the
enemy under cover of a flag of truce and yet
that is a favorte device of the rebels. Time
and again have they practiced it, with more or
less success. According to our correspondence,
published the other day, they did not succeed
very well at Savannah last week, where they
tried this same dodge.


1t seems that the rebel steamer General Lee
was observed coming down the river under
flag of 'ruce, aud, the tug Thomas Foulkes
having been sent from Fort Pulaski to meet
her, it appeared that her sole mission was to
have lady and child who were on board for
warded North. The Union officer, having COM
municated to the commander OF the Tort the
innocent object of the visit, returned TO the
rebel vessel, lying at the extreme o, our guns
and requested her to remain III tha' posit'oh
until the department at headquarters eoulu oe
signalized. Compliance W IN the request was
,'sonn;sed hut no sooner had the tug steamed
bocl than the rebel boat put on all steam for
savannah, without waiting for the accomplish
,,,opt of her mission. This movement strength
ered the suspicion entertained of her, and the
mo was speedily armed with two brass guns
and sent in pursuit of her. She overhauled
the rebel near Savannah, and captured her.
Then il was that the real object OF her visit to
Fort Pulaski was ascertained for among the
persons ON board of her was the officer who
had been assigned to the command of the rebel
ram Fingal, now being in process of compile
ton at Savannah. This individual, Mr.. J..
Pembroke Jones, had come down, no doubt,
for the express purpose of seeing for himself
the best points for future operations with his
ram. He is now in our hands, and should be
treated, not as prisoner of war, hut as a spy
