There are number Of UnionisIs in this section who
have been vigorously treated by the rebels and yester
say, when they ssw the Stars and Stripes raised in the
camp they cheered il with enthusiasm. On the road
from Martinsburg, the people generally remained at
home and were not disturbed by troops The
treatment of the eit Of Msrtinsburg had dispeled
their ears Of the "Norhern hordes and they did not
fly from their houses their approach, they did
between Williamsburg and Marnsburg, on their FIRST
invasion of tho sscred soil of Virginia" wonder
ful change had taken place in the feelings Of the in
habitants of Martnsburg before we left; many re.
turned home they had opened their stores, and even
the women aud children walked the streets among the
of their safety, for "there were nope 10 make them
afraid" The fact that army paid full price, in gold
and silver for all they purchased instead of cnrses or
shin.pasers the only currency Of the rebel troops,
has had magic effect on the hearts and conseienees Of
the people. good report will probably go before us,
and propare the way for better reception among
c,ncilated people, who will have their eyes opened 70
the lies and decepons prae,iced upon them by Seces
sion falsehood and calumny.
When the troops are on the march, 1t seems almost
impossible to prevent some outrages by struggling
vsQabonds with which some Of the Pennsylvania regi
ments are infested. Where they find honss empty,
they seem to consider i: fair game belonging TO an
enemy, assuming that all who fly are Secessionists,
and they are sure to Iilage il. few such cases
occurred yesterday with vacant houses One case was
peculiarly unfortunate. Mr. David Steward lives on
the road near this village just where the Secession
cavalry pretended 10 make stand yesterday. They
drove him and his family from the house into the ields
on the pretense that would batter il down. AS soOn,
however as they ran Mr.. Steward tried 10 get back
home wi,h his family bat of our men had pssseo

have observed in the late papers that JEFF. Davis
threatens 10 retalhe if the pirates are hung in New
York, by hanging LieatcnantCoionel Bowman and

our men, and can assure him that if he wishe, to
raae devil in army, which cannot bo Kept within
bounds, he viii just try that thing on. Hang the
pirates, and do It as quickly the law will allow, a
a premonition of his own sure doom.
