It is with more of pain and regret, though not without indignation, that we remark an article in the Times of the 10th inst., terming it a species of "duty" to shoot a man down on the street without warning; and in some manner justifying the assassination of Colonel Wilder, as in accordance with the "custom of the country" in the south and West. A newspaper controversy upon such a them is especially not desirable, and we do not propose it. If the Times shall justify the "duty" of scalping and burning of captives by the Indians, as it may well do on the plea of the "custom of the country," we shall not contest the point. But in the name of civilization we protest against all such customs.
