explanation in relation to the charges made against General Benjamin F. Butler, has, by its subsequent silence, after repeated efforts on my part to obtain some answer on the subject, not only admitted his guilt, but sanctioned it by acquiescence, and I have accordingly branded this criminal as , and directed his execution in explation crimes if he should fall into the hands of any of our forces. Recently I have received apparently authentic intelligence of another General, by the name of Milroy, who has issued orders in Western Virginia for the payment of money to him by the inhabitants, accompanied by the most savage threats of slaying every recusant, be idea burning his house; and threatening similar atrocities against any of our citizens who shall fail to betray their country by giving him prompt notice of the approach of any of our forces, and this subject has also been submitted to the superior military authorities of the United States, with but faint hope that they will evict

reathes weariness of the war, desire for peace, and bitter repugnance to the Lincoln Administration and the Republican party. The leading article is an indignant reply to certain sentiments which have lately been credited as emanations from Generals Milroy and Rosecrans. We allow the Enquirer to state what they are: By the voice of these officers the army is made to bear the appearance of threatening the people. In the name of the army these Generals Colonels, Captains, and Surgeons, asll the people of Ohio that he who is in favor of "peace on any terms" is "fit only to be a slave" and that he who gives utterance to a peace sentiment is "a traitor to his country, who deserves the scorn and contempt of all honorable men." And Gen. Milroy informed the people of Indiana that when "we"--the army--"have crushed armed treason at the South, and restored the sovereignty of our Government over these misguided States, we will, upon our return, while our hands are in, also exterminate t

The atrocities perpetrated by Milroy are bearing hard upon the spirits of the good and loyal people of Winchester and of the surrounding counties.--It would be a very happy thing if the authorities would send "Stonewall" to the deliverance of these people.

There is a negro regiment at Harper's Ferry, and a negro Captain, with his company, was in Charlestown, Jefferson county, a few days ago, searching the houses of white people, probably hunting "secesh" flag, guns, etc. This is the crowning act of infamy of the Lincoln Administration. The past winter has been a very severe one, and one which I presume will long he remembered for its many snows and severity, and the suffering which ha

was supposed the greater part of the rebels would go to Chittenango to overwhelm Rosecrans. A Chicago dispatch says the Yazoo Pass expedition is a complete success. A fast schooner was boarded in San Francisco harbor Sunday by the U S. authorities, and detained as a privateer. About 20 Secessionists were on board, with six brase Dahlgren guns with carriages suitable for use on this board. Correspondence found will lead to other arrests. A reconnaissance has been pushed by Gen. Milroy; from Winchester, as far as Strasburg, and no enemy was discovered or heard of in any force.--It is denied that rebels are in any force in Shenandoah Valley. A few of Imboden's cavalry were found higher up the Valley, towards Staunton, but retired at the approach of the Federal. Gen. Rosecrans dispatches Halleck that Colonel Minty drove the rebel cavalry wherever he found them, capturing one of their camps 17 wagons, 42 mules, and 114 prisoners--using the sabre where the carbine del

The Northern border. All the information which reaches us from the Northern border of Virginia, indicates that active operations for the spring campaign are about to commence. Hooker's army, we are told, is only waiting an improvement in the roads, which a few days favorable weather will afford, whilst Milroy, in the Valley, being heavily reinforced, has established his outposts at Strasburg, eighteen miles this tide of Winchester. It is not improbable that his pree has been, or will be, sufficiently increased to author the attempt to advance up the Valley as far as Staunton or at least to hold possession of the Shenandoah and Luray Valleys.

Eleroy's operation The accounts recently received from the Valley confirm those previously had of the tyranny exercised by Milroy in his rule in that section. We learn that on Monday, the 16th of the present month, a body of the enemy made a raid from Harper's Ferry, through Lovettsville and Waterford, to Leesburg. Their force consisted of three hundred cavalry and several pieces of artillery. At Leesburg they lock a number of valuable horses, and several citizens as hostages and carriapplied the torch to his promises, valued at $10,000 and reduced the whole to ruins. At the time of committing this outrage the vandals announced their intention of burning up the houses of ten other rebel sympathizers in the some neighborhood. Milroy is carrying out Lincoln's emancipation proclamation in the Valley. In Clark and Jefferson all the negroes are being carried off. The enemy went to Dr. Wm. McGuire's house, near the Shenandoah, and his negroes refusing to leave, the women and ch

of the Lincoln Government to retain one thousand of our officers, who were to be confined at Fort Delaware. He did not understand this to all to officers now in their hands but to those who might hereafter be captured. A day or two before this officer's release two Jew smugglers were brought to the Fort, who had been arrested with contraband goods. One of them remarked to the Lieutenant in charge, "I think I have met you before." For this remark a volley of oaths was helped upon him, and he was kicked from one end of the room to the other. Capt. Robt. W. Saylor, who was captured near Charlestown, in December last, is still retained as a prisoner on charges of having violated a flag of truce, though these charges have never been formally filed. His applications for an investigation have been refused. Gen. Kelley, who, on account of some disagreement with Gen. Milroy, had been temporarily suspended from command at Harper's Ferry, had been reinstated by Gen. Hallens.

han he imagines. But he is right, for it is his business to see that his command are well fed. By latest advices from the most northernmost end of our military lines we have the pleasant announcement of all quiet and safe at Front Royal, Gen. Milroy will be confined to the county of Frederick, and we are in no wise alarmed as to his paying us a lengthy visit so far up the Valley. Gen.

Milroy war in the party who were after "Stone-wall Jackson" and found him at Cross Keys--"a burnt child dread's fire" Gen. Jones has given us the assurance that he intends to hold the Valley, and that we are better protected now than ever before. He urges the farmers to plant all the corn they can, also oats, beans, potatoes, and vegetables generally, assuring them they need not be afraid of the enemy. It is to be hoped these assurances will have a good effect. The late impressment bill is some consolation, but it is not the thing by a great way, and will not attain the object in full
