The Eaton Register VS.. Mobs.

The Register Of this week is rath-
or racy, and smackS Of reckless in
difference, as TO what it as written
times during the last two
years. We boldly and advisedly
assert, that no country sheet pub
lishod weekly in America, has said
and done more TO stir up strife
among ncighbors, than the Eaton
Register. Even this week, while
he processes to be down upon mobs,
he hints that if somebody who
wrote n letter in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, purporting to give an
account Of our troubles in Eaton,
should be discovered, he "will meet
his just deserts" We are not the
author Of the letter, neither do We
even pretend to know anything oil
the business, but we must say that
if he has done wrong, the law is
the only tribunal to mete out tc
him what he deserves. The Ian.
guage used IN the Register dee.
not mean law, but Some othermodc
of punishment, less legal but more
brutal.

1t is the duty OF every govern1
ment to give protection to her citl
liens Of whatever class, color or
condition, especially those who are
duly organized as soldiers in the
public service. Tn law CT nations
and the usages and customs Of war,
as carried on by civilized powers,
present no distinction as to color
in the treatment of prisoners OF war
as public enemies.
TO sell or enslave any captured
person on account ofhis color, and
for 10 ofense against the laws Of
war, is a relapse into barbarism,
and a crime against the civilization
Of the age. The Government of
the United States will give some
protection to all its soldiers, and il
the enemy shall sell or enslave any
one because OF his color, the oifense
shall be punished by retaliation upl
on the cnemy's prisoners III our
possession. 1t is therefore ordered
that for every soldier of the Uni
ted States killed in violation of the
laws Of war, a rebel soldier shall
be executed, and for every one en-.
shaved by the enemy or sold into
slavery, a rebel soldier shall be pla'
ced at hard labor on the public

until the other shall be released
