SHERlDAN's Policy IN TIE VIRGINIA Val
LEY The London Times denounces Sheri-
dams brutal policy in the Valley of the She.
nandoah as follows. 3ra.3 'r '.-
"We doubt il fun description of the
achievement would excite any applause, or
be approved by any assembly of Christian
men, unless party hatred had converted them
into demons. The iuciden. tells for little on
the issue Of The civil war, but it gives a ter
rible illustration of the spirit in which it is
carried on. By an order from General Grant
the Federal force, under Sheridan, which has
pursued the Confederate army down the
Valley of The Shenandoah, has turned north

tated the whole of the valley, front Crooks

average breadth of 40, between the Blue
Ridge and the North Mountains is burn,into

We hope the General has exaggerated The
extent Of the destruction of which he has
been the instrument, but he reports that 900
barns, and 20 mills, stored, with. coin and
forage, meal and impliments of agrcu, ture,
have been given to the flames. ,, One of his
men was shot In carrying his order, int eff
feet, and in retaliation, every dwelling with.
in radius Of five mics from The spot where
he fell, was burnt. Comment on such an
atrocity is needless. Some physoagists
have asserted that the Americans have grad

cast of countenance. .Can7the spirit of The
savage have also entered into them2 But
if the war is TO go on thus il will be the
modern disgrace of mankind. The destruc

WHAT GEN. SGoTT THINKS OF MARTIAL
Law, AND TRIALS OF CITIZENS BY MILITARY
CoMMIssIoNs.-The biography of Lieutenant
Gen Scott prepare by himself,reproduces an
article on arbitrary arrests written by him,
and published IN the National Intelligencer,
Jan. 4, 1864. In that article General Scott
condemns rs ''nonstrous" the trial of any Cit
izen not in the military service by court
martial. Referring to the 5th and 9th amend
ments of the Constitutions, he says :..-....
lfthese amendments do not, expressly se
cure the citizen, not belonging to an army,
from the possibility Of being dragged before q
council OF war, or courtnartialed tor any pre-
tense whatsoever, then there can be no secu
rity for any human rights under human insti-
tutions. Congress and the President could
not, if they were unapimous, proclaim martial
law over any part of the United States without
first throwing these amendments into the fire
= 1t is -vulgularly supposed, particu
larly by those who, dressed in little brief
authority" and lust for more, that the .sus,
pension of habeas corpus, lets in upon the citi-
zen martial law. The suspension by Con-
gress would, certainly, for a time, enable
power to hold any citizen ;ncarcercerated
without trial but, if brought to trial, it must
still be before one Of the ordinary courts of
the land-See Autobiography Of Scott, Vol
H., p. 298
