The Louisville Journal, Of the nth instant,
devoles.two columns to the dissection and con-
dsnsssion Of the late retaliatOry ordos issued
from our War Department., which it character
ises SIS being made up Of ignorance and inso-
lence." The Journal endea7ors to exculpate
The infamous order Of PORE from the charge Of
barbarity by quoting from VATTEL and other
writer's on International law, even including
HALLEcK. The effort. however, is = lame and
impotent one, as the extracts cited amount to
striking condemnation of the thieving practices
that have characterised the Federal forces
wherever they nave gone.
But mo thief eyer felt the halter draw with
good opinion Of the law and it is quite nstu-
raj that the Journal should enter its dissent from
the order Of retaliation alluded to. It would be
difficult for the Federal powers 70 ~inaugurete or
adopt any policy, however dispicabIe or mean,
that would not challenge The approval Of PREM
TIcE. Being cne of the shrewdest and meanest
Of Yankees himself the thing comes natural to
him.
The practical working of the order Of PORE,
which the Journal justifes and upholds, is
forcibly depicted by a Washington correspond
eut Of the Chicago Times, whose letter viii
be found in another column of this evenings pa
per. The writer holds views in happy contrast
with those Of Prentice, and is 4 disposed to look
at the humanitarian side of the question. It is
in fact nothing more nor less than q permit to
the brutal soldiery Of the Federal army to rob,
pillsge and lay waste the country through
which they march Any act Of resistance on
the part of the party robbed or despoiled. is con
strued intO an act Of treason and disloyalty, and
he is dealt with accordingly.
Our only objection to the order is, that it does
not 60 far enough, as it should have included
the privates in the ranks as well as officers, in
its provisions. The impunity with which the
Northern hoTdes have invaded and marched
through the territory of the South, marking
their every movement with devastation, we and
misery, is a standing reprOsch to the manhood
and courage Of our people. If not conscieuce,
it would seem at least that property has made
towards Of q large proportion of the Southern
people. There are thousands among Is too
busy nursing, and too intent on preserving the
goods of this world which they have aecumu-
lated about them, to give their time and atten-
ton to the expulsion of the invaders. They
seem to care but little which cOnquers, the
or the South, if they can but save their
property.
For such, in many instances, the enemy have
shown their contempt by stealing their provis-
ions, stock, etc, and laying waste their pla TIA
the just reward Of peridy and treachery.
We indulge the hope that PRENTICE, and al
ike him, win be remembered when our army
enters Louisville. Let it not be forgotten that
he boldly %justifes and upholds the infamous
Of POPE.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times

He would not be surprised if the matter was
