Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 4. (ed. Frank Moore), Making War in dead Earnest. (search)
Making War in dead Earnest. Cairo, February 14, 1862. The following facts and correspondence show the exasperated nature of the war in these parts. Soon the cry will be: No quarter! Col. Kellogg, commanding at Cape Girardeau, telegraphed to Acting Brig.-Gen. Paine, at Cairo, thus: Yesterday (February eighth) several companies of our cavalry, with one company of Ross's infantry, scoured the country west, bringing in fifty prisoners. Our cavalry also encountered a large forcerday (February eighth) several companies of our cavalry, with one company of Ross's infantry, scoured the country west, bringing in fifty prisoners. Our cavalry also encountered a large force of rebel cavalry, fifteen miles below Bloomfield. They succeeded in routing them, killing seven, wounding many, and taking twenty prisoners. We had two missing and one wounded. They found five bodies, known to be Union men, murdered. W. P. Kellogg, Colonel Commanding. Gen. E. A. Paine, Commanding, Cairo.

General Paine's Reply. Col. Kellogg, Commanding, Cape Girardeau: Hang one of the rebel cavalry for each Union man murdered; and, after this, two for each. Continue to scout, capture, and kill. E. A. Paine, Brigadier-General Commanding. Cairo, February 8. That's laconic and specific. Had this policy been pursued from the start, rebels would have been scarce in Missouri. I hope Gen. Hitchcock, Gen. Paine's successor, will act out the example of General, now Colonel Paine.--Cleveland Plaindealer.

Gen. Halleck on Retaliation.--Colonel Kellogg wrote to Gen. Paine, commanding at Cairo, Ill., that the cavalry under his command had discovered that the rebels had murdered five Union men; Gen. Paine replied: Hang one of the rebel cavalry for each Union man murdered, and after this kill two for each. Continue to scout, capture, and kill. Gen. Halleck has issued a general order, strongly disapproving of Gen. Paine's order, which is very properly characterized as contrary to the rules of civilized war, and if its spirit should be adopted, the whole country would be covered with blood. Gen. Halleck also blamed the officer mentioned for furnishing the correspondence to the press, and declared that any officer who publishes, without proper authority, information respecting the movements of the armies, even of battles won, or any official papers, will be arrested and tried by a court-martial. N. Y. World, March 4.
