Hampton has been burnt Scouts and fn-
gitives brought word of the approach Of
large Confederate force from Yorktown =
These rumors were confirmed at 8 P. NJ, BY
q deserter from the rebels, a native Of Maine,
but resident of Georgia. BE has been sta
toned at Yorktown since June lst On
Friday last, Magrudcr left Yorktown with
force Of 1000 men, including $500 cavalry |
aud eight pieces Of artillery. Monday night /
they camped at Great Bethel, which was |
completely deserted. Tuesday night they !
advanced towards Hampton, and al noon
yesterday took up their position on Back
river, some three miles from the town. DE
says the object Of the expedition is TO draw
/ out our forces, stack Camp Hamilton or
Newport News if practicable, and at least to
| destroy Hampton, so as to prevent their
using it for winter quarters.
Gen. Butler at once repaired to this end OF
Hampton bridge, where he remained till IL
O'Clock.
Col. Weber erected barricade near the
1 Hampton end of the bridge, and placed
a strong guard at various points this side Of
the creek.
A few minutes past midnight Gen. Magru-
der, with about 500 Confederetes, entered the
town and Immediately fred it. The greater
part of the 500 houses were built of wood,
and no rain having fallen lately, strong
south wind soon produced terrible eonhs-
grafton. -
There were perhaps twenty white people,
and double that number of negroes, remain
ing in the town from inability to move, some
of whose houses were fired without waking
the inmates.
Several OF the whites, and also the ne
: groes, were hurried away to be pressed into
? the Confederate service.
? A company of rebels attempted to force
r the passage of the bridge, but were repulsed
with loss of three killed and six wounded.
! The fire ragged all night.
. The greater part of the Oonfederates with
: drew towards morning.
, At noon, to-day, when visited the place,
: but seven or eight buildings were left stand
! ing. f7
f Gen. Magruder has encamped near New
Market bridge. He will hardly venture to
: attack Newport News.
o Mayhem, the deserter, says there have
t heen about 1000 Oonfederate troops station
9 ed at Yorktown, and some ten days ago a
battalion came down to the outskirts Of
e Hampton and carried away $50 negroes.
, Provisions were abundant at Yorktown,
( and most of the rebels are receiving new
e uniforms for the winter campaign. The de-
I struction of the town was a wanton act OF
y cruelty both for the 79siiSSSnts and Union
: lists, and moreover, entirety useless, as Gen.
Butler intends to winter his army many
d miles beyond HaHpton. An attempt will
: be made to foist these acts on the General.
