RETALIATIoN.--A streng feeling is APP
parent in favor of having the Government
announce its determination with regard To
the rebel threat of making distinction in
their treatment of colored soldiers captur-
ed from the Union army. But probably
~ new statement is needed, as the whole
case appears TO be covered in the army
code recently prepared by Dr. Leiber and
officially accepted and promulgated. The
blming are the articles referred to
81. So soon as man is armed by a
sovereign government, and takes the SOL
dier's oath of fidelity, he is belligerent ];
hls killing, wounding, or other warlike
acts are no individual crimes or offenses.
No belligerent has right to declare that
enemies OF a certain class, color, or condi-
ton, when properly organized as soldiers,
will not be treated by him as public enc
mics.
SO. The law Of nations knows of no
distinction of color, and if an enemy of
the United States should enslaye and sell
any captured persons of their army, it
would be case for the severest retalia-
ton, if not redressed upon complaint
The United States cannot retaliate by en-
shvement therefore death must be the
retaliation for this crime against the law
Of nations.
The case of officers of colored soldiers
falls within the same principles here enun-
etated,

The Inroad Of the Hcsakans upOm
The new change Of front of the rebel
forces before Washington has had its an
tioipated effect upon the nerves of timid
Mortimer and, while full fedged cop.
perhcads rejoice at the advance of the
southern foe, doubters and malcontents are
ready to raise the cry of woe and de-
SPAR.
The New York Times has the following
timely article in relation to the present
state Of affairs in Virginia and before
Washington.
"There is something decidedly pndig-
ni6sd in the periodical and prodigious
panics which are communicated to the
country by telegraph from Washington
and the most sudden and tremendous of
al Of which is now sweeping over Penn
sylvania, Maryland and the whole land
They came like sudden storm upon q
calm sea and the rage and fury Of the
tempest is proportioned to the depth Of
the preceding calm and confidence. If the
country does not get shipwrecked in one
these panics, 1t will be because we have a
reserve force whose hearts are undaunted,
whose arms are strong and their nerves
steel.
II Is dlsgraceful that great nation
should thus appear as poltroons in pres
enoe Of rebel army which it ought to be
able to devour, body and boot. One such
scare would be bad enough, bat in two
years we have had half dozen. If we
ever get over this one, it will doubtless be
repeated in about four months. We have
now double panic-one fer sea and one
for land the privateers are on our coas
and Lee is in Pennsylvania We are sure
that rather than these, the people woult
welcome a universal conscription-woult
sustain an army two millions strong, and
let the government make arbitrary arrest!
and suppress newspapers at pleasure. Tit
rebels laugh at these panics of ours they
themselves seem never to indulge in them
Foreign nations laugh at them, and snee
at us !; and Napoleon said that the con
tempt Of foreigners was the greatest of in
suits in the eyes of proud people. If WI
were accustomed steadily and manfully Il
leok all our difficulties in the facet
study, the situation calmly and under
standingly--and if the Government, in
stead of treating the people as children
would treat them as intelligent citizens
We should not SO often disgrace our coun
try and ourselves by these panics."

The ROMANCE OF Waffle follow
ing bit of the romance OF the war is from
a letter dated nj Lake Providence, La:
"The LIST Kansas regiment, of which |
have spoken before, is encamped near us.
One of the members of that regiment,
sergeant, died in the hospital two weeks
ago. After death his comrades discovered
that their companion, by the side of whom
they had marched and fought for almost
two year., was a--woman, You may i'm
agine their surprise at the discovery. |
went to the hospital and saw the body af-
ter it was prepared for burial, and made
some Inquiries about her. She was of
rather more than average size for wo-
man, with rather strongly marked features,
so that with the aid of mans attire she
had quite masculine look. She enlisted
in the regiment after they went to Mis-
souri,, and consequently they knew moth
ing of her early history. She probably
served under an assumed name. She was
in the battle of Springfield, where Gene
raj Lyon was killed, and has fought in a
dozen battles and skirmishes. She al
ways sustained an excellent reputation,
both as man and soldier, and the men
all speak of her in terms of respect and
effectioR. She.was brave as lion in bat
tie, and never tlinched from any duty or
hardships that fell to her lot. She must
have been very shrewd to have lived in
the regiment so long, and preserved her
secret so well. Poor girl she was wor-
thy better fate. Who knows what grief,
trouble or persecution induced her to EN-
brace such life ?"

SENDING DIsLoYAL PERSONS INTO THE
ENEMY's LINEs.-This, whatever may be
thought of its policy or impolicy, does not
seem to have originated in this war. In
1878, the darkest period of the Revolu-
ton, when thousands were for making
peace with Great Britain, just as thou
sands now are for making peace with the
rebellion, the Legislature of New York
passed a bill directed against those who
ungratefully and insidously, by artful
misrepresentation and subtle dissemina-
ton of doctrines, fears AMI apprehensions,
false in themselves and injurious to the
American cause, seduced certain weak
minded persons from the duty they owed
to their country, as follows:
Be ii enacted, &c. 2. That all such men
be required to take the oath of aileg ance,
which was prescribed in the act.
2. That if they refuse to take the oath
they shall be removed to within the enc
my's lines and
3. That if they return afterward they
shall be adjudged guilty of mispnson of
treason.
Hundreds of tories were sent out OF the
State and across the lines and never al
lowed to return. Their property was con-
fscated and they were banished, as public
enemies of liberty and the Union.

E DIREoT INTELLIGENCE FROM
CHAMPIONSHIPS Boston papers state
that a lady who has resided in Charleston
about two years, arrived in Boston on Fri
day last, having left Richmond on the Sd
INST, and gives several interesting partica-
lars Of matters South. The Union senti-
ment in Charleston Is said to very strong
among those Of northern and foreign birth,
and even among many natives of the
South; while on every hand there is deep
anxiety and longing for peace. Those
who believe in the Confederate government
and dcnounce the North still hope for peace
on almost any terms, on account OF the dc.
vastation and ruin of war, This senti-
ment is on the increase.
1t was generally expected that our
troops would take Charleston at the last
attack on Fort Sumter. The fort was
badly damaged, and a Union man who
sailed around it after the attack told our
informant that he saw Eve large holes in
It sod by our projectiles, one OF which
was Sarge enough to drive an omnibus
through" 1t was generally believed that
it was too much damaged to be thoroughly
repaired without being entirely rebuilt,
and that few more balls would have ut
terly destroyed it.
Blockade running is especially active
and vessels are constantly arriving. The
city is often filled with merchants and
spectators from the whole Confederacy,
who attend the auction sales of goods thus
obtained Criticism on the acts of their
government is frequent, and strong party
feeling against Davis exists. There were
bat few troops in and about Charleston,
many having been sent to Vicksbu g.
The opinion was often expressed both in
Richmond and Charleston that the loss Of
Vicksburg would ruin their cause, because
their chief avenue Of supplies would be
cut off.
There was no suffering at Charleston
from lack of supplies, but everything was
enormously dear. Flour had been 1915
a barrel, but had decreased to $25; ham
was sold at 81 so a pound ladies' shoes
$25 $50; calicoes S3 to SIS yard
ladies' hats $75 to 800.
There was considerable fear of the ne
groes. Those near the sea coast had beer
removed by thousands to large camps IN
the interior. Many had been hung. A
short time before our informant left TWEEN
ty-two were hung at one time on suspicion
Of plotting an instruction in the vicinity
of Charleston. Nearly all of them under
stand the condition of affairs, and are ca
ger spectators of the progress of events
Other information corresponds with what
Is often published N Southern papers.
