states that he has under his command about a hundred and twenty men, a number sufficient for his purposes, and all that he wants. With this force he is striking terror to the enemy in Missouri and doing an amount of mischief which some commanders of large armies have not been able to accomplish. If any of his men fall into the enemy's hands, which is rarely the case, they are treated with the most "distinguished consideration." The reason is that, at an early period of his career, the Yankees hung one or two of his guerrillas whom they had taken prisoners, whereupon Quantrell, who is a gentleman of sense as well as true humanity, hung five Yankees for one guerrilla, a proceeding which had the instant effect of civilizing the Federal and teaching them to observe the ordinary rules of war. Col. Tracy, one of the most gallant and efficient of the Confederate officers in Missouri, has adopted the retaliatory system in the same proportion of five to one, and with equally happy effects.
