Worse than Vandalism.

No foreign conquerer says the Mobile
Register, ever devastated Paris as the
devils who call themselves communists
have done and are doing. The Tuiler.
les, the Luxembourg, probably the
Hotel de Vile, and part of the Louvre
are gone, with all their architectural
splendor. their treasures of art, and
their rich historic memories! Gone, in
the very w%antonness of worse than
barbaric devastation! Alaric, Attilla,
the Mahometans, the S~aracens-all the
conquero rs. robbers, pirates. ofanclent
or modern timcs-were civilized and
moderate in comparison. Neither But.
Ter nor Sheridan ever did anything in
our American war SO barbarous as this.
