IFyUTV I'm WAR,

A very general confusion Of ideas prevails
with regard to the proper treatment OF Rcte
property in the present war. Let us try 70
clear it up.
Soldiers should never be permitted to plum

assassins. poisoners, canaibals, aud utterly IN
corrgbe, wise, humane commander Will re-
press pillage. even though 'he be obliged to
hang every tenth mnu in bis army. No solder
should ever be allowed to enter private
dwelling without express orders to do so, and,
when thus authorized, he should be held to the
sric'est accountability. No matter whether
the unarmed unresisting inmates he friends OF
foes. he who eau take advantage OF their help
Iessness to steal and abuse is rufiian, aud
should be treated like mad dog. In no case,
under no circumstances, is the soldier to take
the law into bis own hands and say 81 am
hungry; here is food will help myself, and
tell the grumbers to charge the amount to the
Government which is bound to supply me-"
But the taking of needed supplies by com.
mander whether in friendly or hostile dis.
trict, is an entirely different matter. Suppose
