TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES.

st. Dizier has been sacked. Bazeilles
has been burned. Such are two Of the
items Of European news which the world
laments over at present and there is
every prospect that other towns and vii
lagos in France will suffer like calamities.
People can not indulge in the luxury of
wal without suffering such infections as
these. They are part Of the terrible arbi-
tration of arms. Fields are smitten,
churches go down, libraries are con-
sumed, lives are destroyed, and villages
are devastated. This is not the first time
that such things have marred the history
of mankind. In u own war, General
Magruder adopted the policy of Louis the
XIV, and issued an order from Houston
that the coast of Texas should be devas-
sted for thirty miles inland. The town
of Indianola escaped destruction by good
fortune. People were driven from their
homes, homeless and unprotected. 1t
was the destruction of the Palatinate re-
newed and, although it was uselessly
and recklessly done, we do not hear that it
was denounced in this latitude as wicked,
wanton and revolving. Some said that it
was patriotism. We simply assert that it
was one of those horrors that accompany
war, and which must be expected when
wal is invoked.
But there is one feature about the sack
ing of st. Dizier and the burning OF Ba-
zeilles which must be taken into account
in considering their execution. They
were both in possession of the Prlssians.
Police regulations had been established
for the protection Of the people. They
were under the guardianship of the enemy,
and it was their duty to protect them
selves by keeping the peace. A band of
| criminally wicked men attacked and
! assassinated some of the limited force
sent to protect st. Dizier. The citizens
! made no motion to arrest and punish the
murderers. They thereby Endorsed the
| outrage and assumed the responsibility.
| There was but one alternative. The
| Prussians either had to check this system
| of assassination or they had to withdraw
their garrisons. They could not spare
men to overpower every little town that
might take it to be . patriotic duty to
rise on its limitedpolice Of German soldiers.
Even in our war with Mexico, the town OF
Panucha wa destroyed by order Ct Gen
etai Scott, because it assaulted a detail of

DEATH OF GENERAL LEE.

Little by little are disappearing from
among US the consequences and the re-
minders Of the late direful strife between
men of the same nationality, who speak
the same kindly mother tongue. And
n by n are disappearing the men who
took an active part in the great events
which have reshaped the status Of the
nation.
We have now to record the death of one
of the most prominent of those who,
lured by the ignjs .%tataus of State rights,
and State ultimate sovereignty, took their
lives in their hands, and dared and lost
all for a political chimera. General
Robert E. Lee, the very head and front of
the prolonged armed resistance to the
national authority, breathed his last at
thirty minutes past nine o'clock yesterday
morning, at Lexington, Virginia, aged
s~ixty-three years, eight months and
t~wenty-three days.
His death will be universally lamented
throughout the South by all who sympa-
thized in his political views, while those
to whom he was opposed in armed strife,
will speak gently Of the memory of a
gallant opponent.
No one will withhold q tribute to his
personal character, or deny that he was a
gallant gentleman. Yet, he can not rank
with the host of the unfortunate brave
who, in various periods of the worlds
history, have striven for national life or
national disenthrallment-with Wallace
Or with Kosciusko. For the cause for
which he unsheathed his weapon was not
a strife for human freedom.
Its success would have perpetuated the
bondage of millions of human beings, and
sown the seeds of eternal strife consequent
upon the geographical division of a coun-
try that should be geographically united
in homogeneous nationality. Yet, he Will
be remembered with respectful tenderness
by all, adherents as well as opponents ;
for his errors of opinion were common
with nearly all who belonged TO his sec
ton of the land, while his many ennobling
traits of character were such as fall to the
lot of but few. Requiescat in pace!
