Inc terms ana 0plrlt OF S00fm00'S 3 order
Of march, will excite various comment.-
Probably the Richmond press will quote

Probably the London press will do the
same thing. But to those who read the
whole order, il will seem q angular exam.

ties of war, in circumstances which might
Sherman directs his army to forage lber-
ally on the country during the march, but
that is the ordinary method Of supplying
troops during their progress through q hos-
tile district 1t ought to be, and in this
case it il, restricted 90 far a. to be kept
within the limits Of ordinary seizure by
regular military authority-and this, not
more for the protection Of the citizens from
indiscriminate pillaging than for the sake
Of the discipline Of the army. Gen. Sher-
man displays an unwonted solicitude for
those who deserve as Rebels no tenderness
at his hands by requiring even his regular
fOraging parties to leave, where it is prac-
ticable, Subsistence enough for the families
from whom they take their supplies OF
grain. Soldiers are forbidden, also, even
to enter the dwellings Of the inhabitants,
and foraging parties are enjoined to refrain
from abusive or threatening language.
But Gen. Sherman, merciful as he is
where mercy is possible, means that his
march shall be unmolested by the internal
outrages of guerrilla warfare, and TO that
end he establishes the only rule that is
practicable in cases Of irregular hostilities.
He proceeds upon the just theory that the
country is responsible for the guerrillas-
the latter being predatory force, without
organization and without means fsubsist-
ence except such as are furnished by those
who svmpathize with them, and who must,
from the nature Of the case live near the
scene Of their operations. 1t Is ordered,
therefore, that property is not to be de.
stroyed where the army marches without
opposition, ''but should guerrillas or BUSH
whackers modest our march, or should the
inhabitants burn bridges, obstruct roads,
or otherwise manifest local hostility, then
army corps commanders sh0nld order and
enforce a devastation more or less relentless,
according to the measure Of such hostility"
Such an order a. that is simply recogIi-
ton Of the necessity Of the case, and is JUS
titled, If it needed any justification, by the
example Of military commanders In the
long history Of European warfare; by
Soult in Spain and by Napoleon in Russia,
to take two late instances. And even in
the course of this mcstleniently conducted
conflict there are examples enough which
have passed into precedents; and it needs
only to mention Missouri, Kentucky, and
the Shenandoah Valley, to prove that the
Union party considers itself able to toler.
ate or to uphold the principle Of guerrilla
warfare.

BUrLER's DUTCH GAP CANAL.-The or
der which prohibited newspaper cores
pondents in the Army of the James from
mentioning General Buffers canal having
been recalled, the special of the New York
Tribune thus describes this important work:
The preliminary survey for this important
work was made Sunday, Aug. 7th, and the
work itself commenced on the 1lth Of the
same month.
The neck Of land which forms the bend
in the James river at this point and through
which the canal is cut, is l65 yards across.
The excavation is Of sufficient depth below
low water mark to float the largest gum
boats necessary in the siege operations to
be carried on higher up the river. Up

cavated by manual process alone while the
steam dredge engaged in removing the
deposits from the Ted Of the canal, and VII
dening its mouth, does . work equal to
about so tons per day. This work, It must
be remembered, has been done under the
frequent, and during the earlier stages Of
its progress, the almost incessant shelling
Of rebel batteries. From so to 500 men
have been employed on the work from
time to time. The present fore Q is about 200,
all colored.
