RETALIATION.
The remarks we ex4 yesterday on the rales of
war, suggested by the Sherman-Hampton contro
versy,; do not eem to agree with the opinions en
tertained -in Richmond. Unfortunately it -is but
. seldom that sensible ideas do find a response "in
the rebel, capital. The insurgent leaders hare
given themselves up to the single idea and pur
pose of destroying the country. ;n that topic
they hare gone mid. 1 It is a tad realization of
the old heathen maxim!: Whom the gods wish to
destroy thej first make mad. .
We showed conclusively, yesterday, as Sherman
had previously shown to Wade Hampton, that
foraging was a legitimate war .right ; that Sher
man's! army differed in every essential from a band
of guerrillas ;. that it was prosecuting perfectly
T)rot)fcr and reemlar warfare ; ' and that therefore
his sojdicrs were entitled, when captured? to the
same privileges and treatment which lh3 custom
of all civilized natioirs accords to prisoners of war.
If those soldiers commit excesses that is a matter
for General Sherman to punish and -not for the
commander of the enemy's force to take in his own
handsj ; '
Hampton claims the right of judging the con
duel of Sherman's soldiers, iand cf punishing them
too. Some days ago lie caught a party of them
simply foraging and ftnmediately hung them to a
convefjicut tree, afSxing an ignominious placard
to ihvr bodies. General Sherman, on learning of
i'.Ai, cnt a communication to '.the rebel, telling
'.u. T'jaf ?uch treatnacnt of prisoners would not be
j nuuHr.'J, but that for everv soldier so. hung he
s'i ii'tng a rebel from" the prisoners then in
hufc'K very significantly adding that he could
etand mode of waifaro as long as the rabels
could.! Hampton replies by threatening to hang
two Federal'soldiers for every rebel hung by Sher-
jaan, Iow what a picture is here, presented of
the humanity and Christianity . Qf this grea
American people in this nineteenth century. The
r.ichniond congress thanked Hampton for his
, threat ar.d the Richmond press applaud him to
ihn ctipo It Viao Vipon from flip fiimmpnrfmpnt of
the war ;. s-tudy on the part of the rebels to make
a virtue of their fiendishness. So long ago as the
first Bull Run tattle the bodies of our fallen feol

bones.; This to fire ; the southern heart." A
systematic course of starvation has been extended
to all mr prisoners in.their hands, thirty percent
of whom never return io ns ; forty per cent of the
balance come back more dead than alive and total
