The BuRNING HAMProN.-Tais village was
burnt by order of Gen. Gasrudcr. 1t was under
tood, that the enemy intended to re-occupy it, |
md to prevent its bei0g made a stronghold, it was
yerv properly destroyed. Many of the citizens of
Hampton were participants in the work Of denroli-
ion-some of them set fire to their own buildings.
The only matter of regret is, that it not de-
rnyed III the first instance, before it had been visi-
TED by the enemv.-Richmond Whig.
Treatment Of Hnmptoa.-We had the pleasure of
Meeting with gentleman from Back River yes
erGy, who furnished US additional accounts of the
lutrages committed by the Lincoln vandas in
Hampton. He states that previous TO the cvacua-
in. OF that town by the Fedcrais they went to
louses, and with broke the most costly and
handsome furniture, including fno pianos, which
lad been left bypeacsfu citizens in their late escape
rom the town. Chairs had their cushions turn
rom them, and tables were smashed to pieces.--
IN the walls Of once peaceful dwellings the most
obscene language written, and the floors OF
,ari0rs converted to the most foul and disgraceful
purposes. We ask if it is not enough to draw
iown the rocking vengeance of civilized people? |
The enemy, too, he says, has made his appearance
IN Eastern Shore; that here, as well as elsewhere |
hey have commenced their outrages upon the pro-
oerty of peaceful Inhabitants of the place. Houses
rave been broken open and their contents destroyed
plendid wheat and other fields have been ruined
~ their hands; and the vessels and small boats |
hat they can seize, they destroy by fire. -Noyoik |
