We learn that The eneny are perpstrsting
the same barbarIties At Martiasburg which
have disgraced the very name Of the United
States At every place in tho south which they
have occupied. Not only men, but women, it
10 said, have bean thrown in jail, their only
crime being Secession sentiments. We re-
spectfuliy submit that it is about time the Law
Of retaliation was resorted to in self defence.
The men with whom we are ut war attribute
cur torbearance TO fear, and not to humanity.
They kne~ that under like circumstances ofpro-
vocation they would never have exercised the
o.. mepe = and consideration which have beenex-
hibited by the South, and that every invader OF
their soil would have been hung up like dog.
We need only point to the apparatus tor scaia-
ing assailan.s to death which was prepared at
the brooklyn IN. W Navy-Yard, when II was
rumored that an attack would be made upon
that yard. Bearing these facts IN mind' we
can easily see that, judging Others by them
selves, they ascribe the humanity Of the South,
the Liberation of such men as WRIGHT, HoDd-
Frs, HARVEY, &C., without even requiring
their parole, to any but the real cause, and
arc emboldoned by that humanity to fresh
atrocities. In Northwestern Virginia, peace
iul and unotfcndipg citizens have been wan
toniy shot down and murdered, their houses,
barns and crops destroyed. whilst, more fear
full than ALL others are seized, tied hand and
foot. piled into freight cars like sheep, and
sent off IN Columbus Ohin Jf this is a civ
war, the civili,y hitherto seems to be entirely
on our side. These barbarities will never be
stopped till we retaliate in kind, and give back
measure for measure, and pay with compound
Interest every debt of the kind we have in
Cured.
