ES The Old Guard tells US that it was
the boast of drunken Western Senator, in
the Senate chamber of the United States, that
awe will leave the prints of our chariot wheels
so deep in the soil Of the South that eternity

bo fulfilled; but those chariot wheels have
already lett deep marks in our social struc,
ture. The plow snare has been sent through
society here in the North until the very fOun-
dations Of good neighborhood have been bro

Personal Liberty.

Those who remember what an outcry was
made over the return to slavery of half
dozen or less run away refugees, few years
ago, could hardly believe that the very party
that was then so clamoaous, would signalze
Its first acquisitiontof power by imprrsoning
hundreds of free white people without pro,
cess or authority of law. Yet such has been
the melancholy and alarming fact. More
strange than all, this despotism has been
meekly acquiesced in by the people,as though
they had for generations past been under
the yoke of bondage.
In the recent action Of the House of Rep
resentatives, there is some evidence of re-
viVlng love of liberty, By vote of 80 to ca
that body appended to the civil appropra-
tion bill an amendment to the effect that,
'no person shall be tiled by court martial or
mllitrry commission in any State or Terrific
ry where the Courts of the United States
are open; except persons actually mustered
or commissioned, or appointed in the militia
ry or naval service of the United States, or
rebel enemies charged with being spies"
The amendment failed in the Senate, but
tho House refused to recede, and as a ccn-
sequence the whole bin failcd-Er.

Rights Of War.

The corresbondence between Generals
Sherman and Hampton makes it essential to
allude to subject upon which correct pub
lie opinion should be formed.
The right Of forage is, as Sherman says, a
right of war-a harsh right, indeed, which
Burgoyne did not exercise i n our Revolution,
Scott in Mexico, uor Wellington in France.
All those commanders thought the purchase
of provis better policy than taking them ;
but it is a mere question of policy, Of which
a general has the right to judge.
The right of forage, however, is totally
different hing from right to take other
property than forage, or from; the right to
burn houses, or to outrage either men or wo-
men.
When soldiers quit the military function
and perpetrate crimes, they forfeit the mill
tary character and loose its protection. II
Sherman's men are killed, after capture, for
foraging, the killing is murder, and must be
prevented by retaliation. If upon the duty
of forage they commit crimes, they are pun
ishablc for those crimes by the captors.-
Non combotants have nothing to do with
fighting, and if they engage in it, do SO un-
der penalty Of death but this rule does not
reply to man resisting acts which are not
acts of war,
A soldier is a public enemy a marauder
is simply criminal.
Wellington again and again hanged his
men for plundering; true, the Spaniard was
his ally, but he would have executed the
same summary justice for any outrage in
France.
Not simply in the point of view Of hui
manity but of the we'll being of an army
this strictness is essential, If discipline is
not powerful enough to restrain men in the
exercise of the rights of war strictly to those
rights, it should be made so, or the enem y
will supply the defect.-N. Y. World.

How THE MONEY GoEs.-The Legislature
Of our State has passed bill to increase the
pay OF members to $1,000 each, being an ad-
vance Of $500 on the pay of last year. So
much for Abolition retrenchment and reform
about which we heard so much previous 10
the advent of the present party to power
But, as long as the people can be gulled bv
their promises, which are only made to be
broken, just that long will the taxpayers be
plundered with impunity. The Aboitonists
seek Office for the purpose of enriching them
selves at the expense Of the people, and the
wonder is that the members did not make
their own pay $4,000 while they were at it.
They will do this next year, mark onr pre-
diction--if sustained at the ballot box in Oc-
tober -Er.
