THE STOIiiF. OF PRUSSIAN CKt'ELTIES.
From Ui' X. Y. 'J iiws.
Tisirc is, perhaps, nothing more pitiful
BboVit wnr limn the way in which the 8!iiila
inontsry worn of blackening ench ollier'8
reputation is carried on, amid the rltish of
arms, by the combatants, through, the liewj
papers. This means of oil'enso has beoa
added to the armory of civilized warfare,
curioinly enough, by the rothof huimao
ftelir.fi ncd tho upreitd of the sentiment of
human brotherhood. Vben Tilly stormed
Madgelmrg, and his men. after violating
the women, killed evei j body of every
age and sex they could l.?y hold of,
neither he nor they were at all de
sirous of bavirg the fact concealed. In
fact, they wanted the news of it spread
far and wide, so that the terror inspired by
it might save them trouble on like occasions
afterward. When Tnrenne lnid waste tli3
Palatinate, the last thin; that occurred to
liini or his master was to feel ashamed of it.
In those days the great aim of every warrior
was to show as many evidences as possible
of his power; and as long as he did this suc
cessfully, he cared littlo about charges of
cruelty, and, indeed, would have laughed at
anybody who took the trouble to bring them.
The soldier was expected to have a touch of
ferocity in his disposition, nnd to be only
kept from massacres even in time of peace
by rigid discipline.
Now, however, all this is changed. The
soldier has to be gentle, as well as brave.
Plunder, not to speak of the slaughter, of
the unrcbistiug has come to be looked at as
n great stain oa the reputation of an army.
Soldiers are expected to respect private pro
perty on the march, and what they take to
take in an orderly and quasi-legal manner,
tinder cover of a "requisition." It is a point
of honor with a general to see that women
who fall within the sphere of his operations
are held harmless, and that no wanton de
vastation is committed in the territory through
which he passes, even though it be the
enemy's territory. Occasionally, of course,
devastation is formally aud designedly com
mitted, but always with much lamentatioa
over it as a painful military necessity. This
state of things has furnished belligerents
with means of damaging each other they
never enjoyed in the good old days, and
they avail themselves of those means
with ludicrous diligence. It is, of course,
impossible to guess what Tilly would have
naid if he had been denounced as a savage by
hundreds of newspapers; but the probabili
ties are that, his morality romaining what it
was, he would have enjoyed the notoriety.
Commanders in our day, and the nations
which employ them, are grown thin-skinned
in proportion to the increase of publicity by
which all deeds, both of peace and war, are
fiurrounded, and accordingly we find stories
of "atrocities" committed by the enemy's
troops now a very favorite weapon of warfare.
During the llebellion the Southern newspa
pers teined with accounts of Northern lust
and ferocity, beginning with Beauregard's
"Leant y and Looty" anecdote. There were
few Southerners who were not firmly per
suaded, on the authority of multitudinous edi
tors, and persons who ha I visited New York
and Newport in the summer season, that the
plan of the Federal Government was to fill
its regiments with the dregs of the popula
tion from the great cities thieves, bullies,
and gamblers and murderers, and then let
them loose on the peaceful, simple, unsophis
ticated inhabitants of Sonthern villages aud
plantations. As the war went on, awful
things came to light every day, showing the
tigerish disposition of the Northern troops,
such as the surrender of the town in Tennes
see to the troops for two hours, during which
the inmates of a ladies' boarding-school were
subjected to unmentionable outrages.
During the Indian mutiny the Sepoys were
served up to the Englibh public in the same
way. Nothing was rarer than for English
women to escape outrage, followed by public
mutilation, in the midst of a crowd of re
joicing fiends, nnd people in England were
only disabused of this belief by the failure of
any of the victims of the mutilations to make
their appearance. At first it was said that
the persons who had had their noses and ears
cut off, and their tongues cut out, were
ashamed to show themselves, but at last even
this excuse for them ceased to be heard,
or only excited a laugh. In the Italian
war of ltf.v.i, the Austrians were hand
somely reviled for their brutalities.
They shot villagers without the smallest
provocation, and otherwise revelled in
cruelty. The Austro-Prussian war of I81KJ
did not last long enovtgn for the Prussians to
display their character in Lohemia, but they
are making a fearful exposure of their real
nature in tho present conflict. The burn
ings, robberies, rapes, desecration of
churches, with which they are charged by
French newspapers, are really enough to
make angels weep, and would, if all true,
show them to be fiends incarnate. The
Prussians in the early days of the struggle
expended their ingenuity in this line on the
TurcoB, who, though doubtless unscrupulous
barbarians, were certainly made responsible
for ten times the number of murders of
wounded men, and ten times the number of
insults to hospital nurses, they ever com
mitted. Much as one may regret the amount of
mendacity expended in this line of operations,
it is satisfactory as revealing the steady
growth of the power of public opinion over
the most powerful and most excited bellige
rents. No matter what victories Lismarck
may win, or how hopeless the situation of the
French may be, he acknowledges every day
that he is responsible to somebody yet more
"august" than his "august master" and
that, even after the vanquished have fired
t their last shot, they are not wholly de-
fenseless. His frequent circulars are all so
many appeals to the judgment of mankind
for the justification of acts which he knows
superiority of force alone would not suffioe
to justify. The French lies about the
Uhlans, and the Prussian lies about the Tur
cos, though less respectable and less formal,
are also either so many attempts to resort to
the same great tribunal for the decision of
questions which the sword, no matter how
deftly wielded, must leave unsolved or to
pet, on one side or tne otner, a power whioh.
though it may seem of little consequence on
the battle-field, is what gives victories their
fruits and makes defeat hopeless.
TnE SPECT11E OF FAMINE IN FIUNCE.
From Hit y. V. IleraUl.
Count Bismarck's circular to the Ministers
and diplomatic agents of North Germany
residing in foreign countries sounds a note of
docp and solemn warning through the general
din of war that comes to ns from Europe. It
is indeed like "a fire-bell in the night, to re
call men, not only in France, but throughout
both hemispheres, from their d roams of mar-"
tial pomp and show to the stern and dreadful
realities of the situation. The document
referred to, which was published in a Herald
despatch from Washington city on Monday
morning, points out the practical fact, ap
palling in its importance, that, owing to the
wanton destruction of roads and bridges lead
ing from Paris to the provinces a destruc
tion wrought by the French themselves the
invading Germans will find it utterly impos
sible to supply the two million people which
the capital contains with the necessaries of life
even after the city capitulates. As it is, the
prisoners taken by the Germans in the various
rights and sorties attempted by the garrison
state that the latest rations have been but one
pound of meat per week for each soldier in
side the defenses of the city, with the stock
of animal food rapidly disappearing. Mean
while the investing force have, by intense
exertion and unceasing vigilance, been able
to keep open communication with the llhino
frontier, and have drawn very heavy aid, in
all requisites, from home. Lut they have also
completely eaten out and exhausted the
country environing Palis, over a radius of
some days journey net made by railroad, and
the daily wider and wider consumption is
rapidly extending the unproductive area.
The food question has already bo
come a very irksome and oppressive one
to the strangers. The latter number nearly,
if not quite, seven hundred thousaud
men in arms, aud chiefly concoutrated around
the French cnpital, the actual number furn
ished by the North and South German States
together, for the war, being uiore than eight
hundred thousand, and ullowiitico buing made
for those put ; ile combat by sickness,
wounds and death. All, then, that tho re
opened railroads running eastward to Ger
many and the scouting expeditions sent out
on every side can do is to meet the incessant
demands of this enormous force. They cm
achieve no more. What, then, are to boco'ue
tho inevitable consequences of throwing the
vast population of l'uris on their own re
sources in the winter season in an isolated
region eaten out and shaven close by the
locusts of war? Will there not bo positive
danger of the starvation of hundreds of thoii
fcands of people, 6S Lismarck predicts? The
coLclusion is heartrending to contemplate,
yet it is not only possible but iunuineut.
Lut it is not I'uiis alone which finds itself
in this miserable plight. All Fruoa is, to
some degree, menaced with a similareaUmity.
In the twenty departments now mainly tinder
the heavy hand of the invader, tho arrest of
production and of harvesting, the excessive
consumption by both armies, tho reckless or
unavoidable waste, the burning and other
destruction of material, nnd the removal be
yond the frontiers of large quantities of agri
cultural produce which ouanot be reimported,
have swept the country bare. Moreover, we
must recollect that last spring, before the
war began, we hud repeated advices from
France of anticipated short crops in Franco,
and that these advices have not been contra
dicted. Recently there have been more
satisfactory accounts from the southern
depaitments, but, as a general summing
up, even were there no war, this great
French nation of forty millions would have
Lad to depend very largely upon imported
cereals for its winter subsistence. The two
years' advance supply on hand of breadstufi's,
which was one of the boasted arrangements
of the imperial system, seems to have boon,
for this year at least, as much a myth as the
strength and reliability of its military organ
ization. In one word a word of solemn,
overshadowing portent tho gaunt spectre of
famine looms up in more gigaaticand ghastly
proportions every hour over tho once fair
land of France. The nation but yesterday so
mighty is "hard bestead and hungry," and
neither rulers nor people know whither to
look in this hour of their tribulation. The
trials that have fallen upou them
are almost apocalyptic in their sud
denness, their completeness and their
terror. With the threatened dearth
comes the nameless horror of the "pestilence
that walketh in darkness," which falls upon
all famished regions, a ad of the still more
frightful outburst of frantic passions among
hot-blooded races driven to despair. The
hour seems close at hand, indeed, for the
beautiful, the imperial city of the late Napo
leonic empire, "when "the keepers of the
house shall trembb and the strong men shall
bow themselves, and the grinders cease be
cause they are few, and those that look out
of the windows 6hall be darkened," and all the
proud nation shall share in her sorrow.
This is a terrible contingency for Christen
dom to contemplate a momentous lesson for
ambitious princes and statesmen to ponder.
It cannot be underrated or fail to be compre
hended. Let us hope that its instruction will
not be thrown away.
Yet again, mingling with the abstract idea
thus presented to our minds is the agony of
individual suffering, not among stalwart men
alone, but among the innocent and defense
less victims of the war the aged and infirm,
the wounded and the siok, feeble women aud
helpless babes. At the thought of their dark,
dire, irredeemable destitution the very heart
of humanity thrills with pity. Lut on this
side of the Atlantic we have never vet con
fined our sympathies to mere commiseration.
As for the Greeks in their hour of mis
fortune; as for Toland and Hungwy,
when they both starved and bled; as for
Ireland, when her homeless children were
dying by thousands on the highways or in the
I test-houses of their native land, which should
iave been the island Canaan of the north, the
hand of American bounty was instantly and
repeatedly extended, so let it be held out
now over the stormy sea and through the
wintry gloom to stricken France. And there
is no time to lose. Every day of delay may
be fatal to many a poor brother, whom timely
aid would have saved. Noble societies of
foreign nationality have already been orga
nized among us to aid the sick and wounded
in both Germany and France, and native
subscriptions have not been wanting; but
the imminent, pressing need At this moment
is for help in kind to whole masses of the
French population. Let, then, the concerts,
the discourses, the lectures, the exhibitions
that are wont to be offered for minor chari
ties be turned towards the response to this one
terrible cry for help from those who are ready
to perish in an allied land, the early friend of
our own republic and so long the iutellectuil
guide of Christendom. Our Legislature,
national and State; our municipal bodies, oar
boards of trade, our moneyed corporations,
our orders, clubs, and societies of all kinds:
cur agricultural, railroad, mining and mo
neyed princes; our religious oongregatians;
and the whole people, collectively and indi
vidually, could perform no holier or higher
act worthy of our civilization and oar pro
gressive age more full of solacing remem
brance to each heart, more in beautiful
accordance with our Christian profession,
more fraught with glorious auspices to uh and
our children, now and hereafter, than to succor
I our fainting brethren of France and exorcise,
with the white hand and tho gentle word of
charity, this grim spectre of famine from
their doors.
ARMYKEFORMATION.
Frrnn tht X. 1". Stm.
The approaching rodnction of the array,
and the certainty that many valuable oflloe'rs
now unassigned must necessarily be mus
tered out of service unless vacancies are made
for them, has lent an unusual stimulus to tho
Lureau of Military Justice. Offenses that a
year ego were entirely overlooked, or the
perpetrators of which were, after conviction
and dismissal by military tribunals, restored
to the army by the Executive, now meet
with punishment so prompt as to have a per
ceptible and a healthy effect on the tone of
the army at large. General courts-martial
for the trial of officers have been receutly or
are now sitting in nearly every department,
and the vigor with which offenders are
brought to grief is in pleasing contrast to tho
laxity observable in this respect a few months
ago. The danger of a great injustice hap
pening to good men through the customary
but undue lenity to the bad sharpens the eye
of justice. Influence or antecedents, wounds
or campaigns, avail nothing to save the
erring. Neither age and long servi ce, nor
youth and inexporience, can now stay the
heavy hand so long withheld. A gradiuto of
West Point, thirty years in the army, disap
pears from Its rolls simnltaireously with a
second lieutenant at the foot of the list; aud
for once, from general to subaltern, all stand
equal before the law.
A file of general court-martial orders issued
by the War Department is now before us. It
6hows that every sec tion of the country has
its representative in tho. catalogue of crime.
The characters of the offenses, too, are as
varied as tLe climes to which the offenders
owe their nativity. Lieutenant Martin L.
Lrandt, late 7th Infantry, born in Maryland,
and promoted from the ranks, convicted of
defrauding bis creditors by worthless pay ac
counts, is dismissed the service. Captain
Charles G. Cox, loth Cavalry, born in Maine,
appointed from Colorado, for getting drunk,
breaking his arrest, sweating at and beating
his men, nnd spiling "one sorrel horse," the
property of tLe United States, is cashiered
and sentenced to the peuitentiary for three
yers. The President remits tho peniten
tieiy. but Cox leaves the service.
Cnptiin George W. Graham, 10th Cavalry,
from New York, amused himself by publicly
driving in a buggy with an abandoned
voriui, then attempted to sell a roan I14r.se,
the property of the United States, succeeded
in wrongfully selling a bay horse, and wound
np his exploits by a five right in a disgrace
ful den. He was ensbierod, and also sen
tenced to the penitentiary. The President
remitted Lis confinement, but Captuiu Gra
ham uifide a desirable vacancy.
Lieutenant Emilius do Meulen, L'd Artil
lery, a native of sunny Italy, and quartered
in Alaska, got drunk, broke his arrest live
times, and was tried for those offenses and
for attempting to murder the assistant sur
geon. Of this last charge he was found not
guilty, the doctor having fortunately escaped
being snot. Do Meulen was, however,
afhiered,and left Alaska and the army at the
tame time.
Lieutenant F.rwin Seeley, !th Artillery,
boin in Pennsylvania and appointed from the
army, become so hopelessly involved finan
cially while acting as commissary and quar
termaster at rort Washington, Maryland, that
Lis affairs could only bestraigLtened out by
trjing him for making false returns and
statements, cashiering him, and publishing
his crime in the newspapers of Ohio and the
District of Columbia.
These are a few samples, taken at random,
but they prove the earnestness with which
the authorities are at work purifying tho
army. The public must not hastily and ad
versely judge of the service that has so long
held these men unpunished, but rather rest
assured that those who are left are worthy of
confidence; nor is the time now far distant
when the uniform of the officer will be, as of
old, the unmistakable proof that its wearer is
a gentleman.
