The Policy of Destroying Private
Property.

lFrom the New York Times.
We have no doubt that every invasion
of Maryland produces strong accession
of lOyalists to the Union party. And in
| like manner, every unnecessary abuse or
violence in our raids, converts numbers
to the Confcderacy. Moreover, such brl-
tai attacks as those at Chambersburgh do
not serve the invader. His object should
be to supply his forces, to eStort all he
can from the population, and to destroy
the public stores. Bonaparte understood
the art of invasion. He never permitted
any such bungling operations as burning
villages and destroying private home
steads, or plundering cities. When he on
tered a wealthy district or rich city, heat
once established a system of exact levy
and forced contribution, in return for
which heprotected he cultivators and the
citizens from abuse and plunder. 1t was
this system which enabled him so many
years to support war BY war, without
Durdening France beyond her power. 1t
was often, indeed, deviated from, but
wherever violated-as in Spain-it proved
source of endless trouble and disaster to
him. In the latter country, he converted
whole people into glIerrillas, who might
otherwise have patiently submitted to
him. /. -r.l 90. 3 1-1 t
The destruction and plunder of private
property is, besides, the most fatal thing TO
good discipline. The military historian Of
tho Peninsular War remarks, that one of
the great causes Of Sir John Moores disas
ter was the permission given the
soldiers, during portion of the retreat. to
enter private houses, which they plumber
ed, and where they lost all the restraints
of their officers. We believe the renarka-
bic moderation shown by the rebels in
their invasion of Pennsylvania last year,
was due to this cause more than any other
the fear Of their experienced officers
that the bonds of discipline would be slack
ened. -1-5I a a.glag .Ii ~ Il
The sweeping off of the crops, and sup
piles, and cattle OF country by raids, arc
Of course a necessary part of war. and must
be accepted by both parties. When, also,
any important military operation must be
carried Qut-in siege or battle-private
property, houses, and everything are not
TO be regarded. When Gen. Sherman. be-
ing in pressing haste to join Burnside in
East Tennessee, and the pontoons being
delayed, destroyed whole village to make
his bridges, he was perfectly justified. In
like manner, the rebels have perfect right, |
according to the laws of war, to shell Har- |
per's Ferry village, if that will effect the
Of the Heights. rre f.r.

Arkansas Traveller and bohemian.
Two Women in die woods.

An acquaintance OF ours, who can be
relied upon for truth and veracity, fur
nisbes US with the following items At
Gray Summit forty miles out on the Pa
cifc Railroad, there are two women who
are living in the woods-sleeping with
hogs, in barns, or in any place that hap
pens to be convenient. Esther Creamer,
one ofsthese wonders, dons pair of mems
unmentionables which she sports with all
the ease and dignity of the lords of crea-
tion." In part 10 protect her body she
has remnant OF tattered skirt wrapped
around her of color unknown to the an
clients. She is evidently Of German e4-
traction, as her speech is tinged with that
dialect.
She sometimes speaks Of husband she
once posed as a "ht6tg that roy but is not.
The other female claims to be "nO name
but says she is an Arkansas traveller !
Her mind Is somewhat Eighty; there is no
doubt that she is insane. Her garments
arc in q very wretched condition, and her
hair floating around her in 'perfect loose-
ness pasSis creni5us, gives her ghostIy
appearance. She is in the habit Of bur
rowing in the earth at times, thereby Civ

A Rebel opinion erthe Fremont Move.

The Fremont meeting in New York de-
el,,res the absolute equality of men, an
that 4 monarchical government
established on this continent by any for
eign Power "cannot be etolerated;' atirms
that there can be 'no amnesty to traitors
short Of unconditional submission --''that
the coniiscation Of the lands of rebels and
their distribution amongst the soldiers ana
actual settlers is a measure of justice" but
especially insists-and here Is the vital
p5int-athat the one tern policy for the
Presidency Is strengthened by the force Of
the existing crisis In short Fremont
desires to be President an to be elected
he is ready to announce anything, promise
anything--tO sweep out or swallow up the
French and the Mexican empire, to grant
the whole South to soldiers, to abolisllslave-
ry and establish the equality Of animals.
Only give him the Presidency and he goes
fer the millennium, the whole millennium
and nothing but the millennium--at least
for this hemisphere and for four ontof the
thousand years to Begig with, He would
contract for the whole thousand, by install
ments of four years on the same terms.
There are three Christian nvirtues-crush.
ing rebellion, uprootiug slavery and one
term, but the greatest of these Is one term
1t is true, says Fremont, we are commanded
to destroy slTvery and to conquer therebeL
| lion but the tTst and greatest command
ment is, put out Lincoln; and herein is the
whole duty of man, and the law and the
prophets.
Now. if Mr. Fremont and his friend;
have really the good sense TO perceive thai
/ the South cannot be- conquered at all, anC
that even war for that purpose canne
much longer be carried on, then all the eH
treme expressions of these resolutions may
be intended as a set off 10 his intended co
operation with the Democrats, and as |;
kind of excuse for not igfiotiC any whef'
south of the Potomac In fact, except th'
crazy rant about subduing US by force anC
distributing onr Lands, the long series 9
resolutions may be considered as applicable
to the North alone, as a distinct and separ
ate country and in this sense we have n,
objection 10 them at all. They declar
that there shall he no violation of the Tigb
of free speech, and that ''integrity ant
economy" are required in the government
These are good things, and We wish tho
may get them. Then they say thet,
shall be no such recognition of pretendeC
State rights as shall sanction State wrongs.
| Certainly, if they choose it in their owT
country let them have no State rights, am
no States, if that suits them; it is no atfai
of ours.-RiehD,Ond Examiner.

From ecu. Grants Army.
New Movements in Progress by General
Hancock.
Capture OF Prisoners, cannon and
Mortars.

ARLINGTON, Aug. l6.
On Saturday last Hancock's corps was put
in motion on James river, and by circuit
GUS route reached the north side of the river
ut Deep Bottom, in tho rear OF Dutch Gap,
ON Saturday night.
Turner's and Tcrry's divisions Of tho 10th
corps also crossed over to Deep Bottom on
tho same night. Fosters division, which
had been for some time posted at Deep Bot
tom. was advanced by Gen. Blrncy a little
after sunrise Sunday morning, pushing tho
rebel line OF skrmishers q considerable dis
lance. The 24th Massachusetts, regiment,
? Col. Osborne, charged and captured seventy
prisoners.
Meanwhile Gen. Grcgg's cavalry had clear
ed the road for Gen. Hancock, and no got
the 2d corps into position on Gen Blrncy's
right, on the Newmarket road, which led
from tho vicinity Of Malvern Hill directly to
Richmond. The position thus taken by
Hancock is eighteen miles from Richmond.
Gen. Birncy made an assault on his front,
and carried the line of the enemy's works
which guards tho approaches to Richmond
in that quarter, capturing six pieces OF artil'
lcry and mortars. Some adyices state the
number of mOrtars at four pieces.

Natural Alliances.

Every inefficient man who has been con-
nected with this war and dismissed either for
cowardicc, incompetency or treason, immcd'-
atcly embraces tho copperhcad faith. Mr.
Fltz John Porter was bright example of q
traitor whose natural impulses led him into
the bosom of the democracy" and their
natural impulses and sympathics equally led
them to embrace him. Gen. Mcclellan was
shelved for his ineiIicency. and he becomes
the pet of the Identical democracy" that
hugs to its bosom Vallandigham, Porter, Voor-
hccs, Long and Wood. Now Mr.. Don Car
los Buell., who had Major Generals COM
mission for the same reason that the Dedlock
family had ghost, because they had done
nothing to distinguish themselves for seven
hundred years, resigns tina. commission after
two years inactivity except to draw his $500
per month from tho Government, and says
the war is not carried on to suit his ideas
This General conducted his Tennessee cam
paign in such manner as to demoralizc his
own army and strengthen that of the enemy.
He was noted for doing nothing except to
guard rebel property and catch runaway
slaves in this active endeavor no irittered
away one Of the most important campaigns
OF tho war, until he and his army were driv-
en- to Louisville by the rebels, and it became
