which is reliable Shortly after the arrival at

to the residences Of a highly respectable farmer
in the nslghborhood. and drove the whole fam
lily from the house without . moments notice,
who were compelled to seek the WOODS for
safety. The negroes on the place ran from the
house in all directions, and It Is thought the
farmer will lose these, together with all the
articles be left behind, bat is grateful that be
escaped with bis life.
The troops were exceedingly i%nsolent, and
stated that they we're free that dsv that no
officers were with then, and that they intended
to do as they pleased. The family, in which
were two young children and an cd lady,
about seventy years Of age, wandered about
in the woods all night. and the next day ar
rived at a place OF safety, where a letter was
written by a lady who was in the party, frsm
