CIVILIZED WARFARE.

The King of Prussia having already ex-
empted all private property from capture
at sea, proclaims the ike principle in his
warfare on land. He says, in a general
order: ~rr r r- alLT E1E.E flo gr-
awe war against soldiers and not citi-
zens. and, therefore, the lstter may con-
tinue secure in person and property 50
long as they abstain from hostile acts.
We grant them protection as matter OF
right. The Generals commanding corps
viii decide what measures are necessary
usages of war, and will also regulate the
reouisitions necessary to sustain their
.troops. and fix the difference of exchange
between German and French currencies,
in order to facilitate dealings between SOL
diers and citizens" .. q. e--.l Ha.
This is an honorable declaration, though
not new in war. 1t has long been recog-
nized as principle among civilized ma
tons, and it was only violated during our
Gate unpleasantness." Thousands of fam
lies in the South were robbed of their
property and yaluables, by the "bum-
mers' and 'fsneak thieves" in the Federal
army, and no effort was made by the Off
GERS to arrest and punish these despera-
does. The officers of the army were to a
very large extent of the class who pro-
| fessed to believe that ''Rebels" had no
rights which the Federals ought to res
pect, and they taught their men to act
upon this principle, and with this license
their men carried the warfare to an extent
never before known in civilized nation.
And to this day ''the best government the
world ever saw" viii not reimburse those
sRebels'' who were thus despoiled of their
property and valuables, nor will it allow
the despoilers to be punished. I-.
