A MAnoMMEpAN IDEA OF WAR.-When
Adu Beker was about to march into Syria to
propagate the Mahommedan religion at the
point Of the sword, be issued this order -
his army: "Ireat your soldiers with the
kindest consideration; be just in all your acts
with em;consult their feelings and opinions,
fight vaIianlIy, and never turn your back on
foe. When victorious harm not the aged,
and protect woman and children. Destroy
not the the palm tree, nor fruit trees Of any
kind: waste not the corn field with fire, nor
kill any cattle, except for food; stand faithful
to every covenant and promise"
This was the instructions of a heather
General centuries ago. Should not Sherman
and some of his christian! Generals read this,
and blush for shame. The wanton destruc
t!on of property, and the barbarous acts Of
those who "marched thro. Georgia" would
astoni.h even a Mshommedan. "Progress

Voters and Leaders.

The New York World, in commenting upon
the Virginia election, remarks that "the
value of the negro element in our politics may
be estimated by the kind of men the negroes
honor Nth their confidence. In proportion as
voters are ignorant and debased they will sur
render themselves passively to the guidance
of leaders; and the lowness of their level may
be measured by the vileness of the men they
consent to be led by"
We commend the World to an application
of its doctrines a little nearer home. If the
negroes of Virginia have ''bonored with their
confidence a viler set of politicians than
those who run the Democratic machine in
New York city, and by public theft and
robbery make that city reproach to free
institutions, we should like the fact to be
specifically pointed out. When the negro ele-
ment of Virginia sends prize-fghters to Con-
gress, it will be time enough for the World to
point its sneers and to elevate its nasal pro-
tuberance; meanwhile, it had better keep
quiet.

Candidates for the Yice-PresidencY.

Candidates for the Vice-Presidency.
WE notice that many of the papers are sug-
gesting candidates for the Vice-Presdency
but we regret to observe that most of the
names suggested are those of second or third
rate men-men whom the people would never
think Of taking up for the Presidency. Now,
with the example of the last two years and a
half before our eyes, it ought to be adopted,
at once, as an axiom in Am erican politics, that
no man whom the people would not be willing to
see President shall be nominated for Vice
President. Andrew Johnson and his disastrous
and disgraceful administration should serve as
beacon-ight to all parties against the selec-
ton of second and third-rate men for a posi-
ble transfer to the Presidency. The Vice
Presidency is of no account except as a pos
sible stepping-stone to the higher position,
and with reference to the possible occupancy
of that higher position should the nominee be
selected. This matter should receive the
attention of the press all over the country, so
that proper public sentiment may be deve-
loped upon it before the assembling of the
nominating conventions of either party.

"In the sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
has fallen upon them with redoubled force'
for tens of thousands of them were
totally unused to manual labor, and they
were accustomed to revel in luxury and ease
upon the fruits of the unpaid and involun-
tary toll of others. It is but natural that they
should lament the departure of the days
when they "sat by the flesh-pots of Egypt and
did eat bread to the full" On their own
shoulders alone rests the responsibility for
the great change which has taken place in
their lot, and they must now reap, without
unmanly murmurings, the bitter fruits of the
harvest of their folly.
But when they claim the privilege of being
received into the very sanctuary of the Gov
ernment which they wiokedly assailed, they
are going beyond the limits of forbearanoe,
and deserve a stern rebuke at the hands of
those who did not spare their blood or trea-
sure in attempting to avert the destruction of
our national integrity and supremacy. That
they should be supported at the expense of
the Government, to the exclusion of the
widows Of those who sacrificed their lives in
its behalf, is revolving to every instinct of
humanity and justice. But the loyal North,
as well as the disloyal South, is made to taste
the bitter fruits of the war, through the
apostacy of the man to whom it unwittingly
confded the highest trust in the
nation; and that he should remember
his pledge to 'make treason odiOus" is not to
be expected, in the light which is shed by his
unenviable record. Our only relief is in the
loyal Congress Of the nation, and we earnestly
hope that when it reassembles in November,
it will, without moments unnecessary
delay, cause this matter to be thoroughly
investigated. But the Treasury at Washing
ton is not the only department of the Govern
ment which needs the attention of Congress
in this respect, for we have the best of reasons
to believe that the Federal Offices one and all,
are at this moment giving shelter and support
to unrepentant Rebels, while wounded soldiers
and soldiers widows are forced to engage in
more laborious work, for a much smaller
recompense than falls to the lot of these same
unrepentant Rebels.
