= MeHAMMEDAN BARBAR1sM.-Tn view OF
the burning of towns and the destruction OF
private property by the Union forces in mere
wantonness. revenge, or for private plumber,
it will not be out of place for the Christian
people and clergy of this country to read
the following extract from the address OF
Abou-Baker, who after the death OF Mo-
manned invaded Syria, to his followers
On sterling he addressed his troops thus:
"Warriors of Islam, attend moment, and
listen well to the precepts which am about
to promulgate to you for observation in time
of war. Fight with bravery and loyalty
Never use artifice and perfdy towards your
enemies; do not mutilate the fallen; do not
Stay the aged nor the children nor the wo-
men; do not destroy the palm trees; do not
burn the crops; do not cut the fruit trees; 90
not slaughter the animals; except what Will
be necessary for your nourishment. You
will find upon your route men living ID
solitude, in meditation, in the alteration OF
God; do them no injury-giye them no
offence
If this be Mahammedan barbarism, what
name shall be given to the mode of warfare
practiced by the Milroys, Montgomerys, aud
others of that class, whose plunderings and
burnings so delight fanatics?

The Divinity of Fanaticism.

Montague once said: eff the real d.
vinlty within our souls were not more pure
and oonsoling than the false one fanatics
create, how deplorable would be the lot of
human nature!" Happily we can not alto
gether get rid of an internal God, even by
worshiping an external demon. The M Grey
of the Ii eavenly Father charlottesville. We
may desert Him, but he will never desert US
We have in this our day and generation
an instances of the kind of Divinity fanati-
cism sets US. 1t bears strong resemblance,
in characteristics, to the ancient Moloch,
whose offerings were human beings, who
delighted in blood and slaughter and who
never was so much rejoiced as when hu-
mainly was in the extreme of misery
This is the God that is worshiped in too
many of our churches by the spirit of fanati-
cism which has taken such fast hold of
mems minds. Let a victory happen to our
arms, and while the battle field is vet
drenched with human gore, while mangled
bodies are yet writhing in torture and the
dead are piled up in heaps, these churches
resound with anthems and praises to God,
"who hath given US the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christi" for this was the exact
language used in prayer in one of cur
churches after the recent bloody and barren
battle in Pennsylvania. Can any one won
der, with such inconsistencies and horrible
hypocrisy before their eyes, in those who
minister at the alter, that so many should
be driven into the devious and dangerous
paths of immortality and iDfdelity? They
lose heart and hope when they witness such
exhibitions in our churches of the want of
power in the influences of the GOSPEL to
mould the hearts of even its ministers to its
peace giving precepts, and they fall into the
other extreme. We make bold to say that
this war and the horrid example of the cler-
gy, have done more to set back the progress
Of real Christianity than all the efforts of
all the in6del writers that ever lived.

A Battle Near Culpepper--Tke'Supp
Headquarters of Lee.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PoToMAC, Au-
gust 2.-General Buford's cavalry, artillery
and a supporting infantry force yesterday
crossed the Rappahanock at the railroad sta
ton. Thence with his artillery and cavalry
he proceeded toward Culpepper, driving
Stuart's cavalry before him. When near
Culpepper, General Buford encountered a
large rebel force of infantry and artillery,
and fierce fight eusued, lasting until dark,
when he withdrew to strong position east
of Brandy Station. The loss on both sides
was considerable.
The reconnaissance confirms the concen-
tration Of Lees forces near Culpepper, and
indicated that his present Headquarters are
at Stevensburg, four miles south east of Gull
pepper.
The suffers wagons captured by Mosby
and gang on Thursday, were recaptured Fri
day near Aldie, by the Second Massachu-
sets cavalry. A skirmish ensued between
guerrillas and our advance, but on the ap-
proachlof our main body Mosby fed, closely
pursued by the cavalry. Several Of the enc
my are reported killed and wounded, which
was the result of the pursuit.
This morning detachm ent of our cavalry
killed two and captured two of Mosby's
band near New Baltimore.

A CUBE FOR RHEUMATIsM.-The follow
ing receipt for the cure of rheum atism was
published some time ago in the Country
Gentleman:
"Bathe the parts affected with water in
which potatoes have been boiled, as hot as
can be borne just before going to bed; by tn e
next morning the pain will BIS much relieved.
if not removed. One application of this
simple remedy has cured the most obstinate
rheumatic palms."
The annexed letter to that periodical ap-
peared in a recent issue tes:ifying to the
utility of the potato water:
Messrs Editors: take the opportunity of
returning my sincere thanks to you in be-
half of my "better half'' for very simple
receipt, which consisted in the use of potato
water for rhe atism. My wife suffered
over four years with rheumatism in her
shoulders, especially altar doing the family
washing, until discovered this simple but
most valuable remedy. The first night she
used the potato water rather lukewarm and
assured me of its benefits next morning, and
that she hardly felt any pain in the
shoulders which encouraged us, and we re-
newed the application the following night
before she retired, using the potato water as
hot as she could bear it, and rubbing her
shoulders as hard as she COULD the effect
was that she never, since the last applica-
tior, now about fourteen months has had the
slightest pain of rheum atism in her should rs
or any other part of her body. Many per-
sous in this country, especially miners, are
afflicted with that aalady, and l have re-
quested many to try the remedy, but they
regard the value of "potato water" in the
same light as a great many do the "brandy
and salt" cure, viz: drink the brandy and
rub the afflicted parts with the bottle
Then again, both these rem edies are so cap
that it is thought they cannot be good.

The President has authorized the issuing
of an order that it will be the policy and in
tention of the Government to retaliate in
kind for every case of ill-treatment of our
officers or men, black or white, by the rebel

ing for shooting, and imprisonment. In
every instance where it is known that a
black man in the service of the Government,

some prison, there to remain until the black
man Is liberated.
The Government maintains, and will ex-
act promptly, and to the letter, that the
Federal uniform, like the flag, must and
shall be respected.
