ins for the Confederate Government to protect its people by the only means in its power, and that is, prompt and effective retaliation. Authority should be given, so far as relates to all future outrages, to the Confederate officers nearest the scenes where these barbarities are practiced, to try and punish the offenders on the spot, without the tedious and expensive process of transporting them to Richmond. In the war of the Revolution, the notorious British commander, Ferguson, pursued a course precisely similar to that of Pape, and Col. Campbell retaliated at once by trying and hanging, upon the very hill where the battle occurred, the prisoners taken from Ferguson, who had been engaged in these outrages. The British Government never ventured to resist that act of just and wholesome retaliation. We should proceed at once to have reparation for the past, and, as to the future, give our military commanders authority to retaliate at once upon the perpetrators of similar outrages.
