So f4r as the Fyderals have penetrated Viz
giuia they have been as utterly regs dless of tie
rights CT private prcperiy as were the marauters
in Arkansas. Clyiizad warfare does not recog.
MIS- the pluudering Of private citiz-ns as lrgit-
mate. lat tie conduct OF our enemies IS perfectly
laeless.
Attention has heretofore been called to the
fact that tie hirelings under CURTIS, in North
EN- Arkansas, were seiziI G the supplies Of tie
people. aud giving receipts for the amount,
coupled with an agreement that remuneration
would be msds after the expiration Of the war,
e the cit,z,n should establish the fact that lie
had been 10y al to the LINCOLN government for
one year. Hundreds Of families wee robbed IN
this way, and the miuious kept from sctual
starvation. The same policy has been com
meuced in Vrgini,. The Richmond Enquirer
has seen one Of these receip's given to a pun
dersd farmer on the Rsppahsnnock, which, it
says, IS a printed form filled up to suit the occa
sion. Acrpy IS published, simply substituting
blanks il the place Of d zane and some figures,
to prevent individual recsg iIion. The %fo.l=r-

As the Eeeaifsr remarks, It would have been
much mcre ike a straightforward man, but
much less ike q Yaukee, # Allen DIE had
robbed tie gentleman Of his corn and
told him SO. Bat that mysterious thing

cstive, not under The crime, but under the con-
sssion. A disguise must therefore be prepared

the tool Of YaLkee cunni; G and the ally to
