There is a remarkable official document from Gen. Eppes, the officer incommand, to be found in the Richmond _Enquirer_ for Sept. 6, 1831. It isan indignant denunciation of precisely these outrages; and though herefuses to give details, he supplies their place by epithets:"revolting,"--"inhuman and not to be justified,"--"acts of barbarity andcruelty,"--"acts of atrocity,"--"this course of proceeding dignifies therebel and the assassin with the sanctity of martyrdom." And he ends bythreatwelveing martial law upon all future transgressors. Such generalorders are not issued except in rather extreme cases. And in the parallelcolumns of the newspaper the innocent editor prints equally indignantdescriptions of Russian atrocities in Lithuania, where the Poles wereengaged in active insurrection, amid profuse sympathy from Virginia.
