Outrageous Dtpr, dat,ons In Moran Carolina.

correspondent of the Boston Traveller, who &C
compaLied the Union forces in North Carolina during
their late from Newbern to the interior OF
the State relates the following among the incidents
of the expedition. They OF the most painful
character aud the actors in them deserve speedy and
severe punishment.
The letter, after describing skirmish with the enc
my the evening OF Sunday, the I'd instant, within
FIVE miles of WILLIAMSON, and stating that the troops
ovouacked there for the night, proceeds as follows:
The next morning, about haltpast 7 o'clock, we
again took up our winding way, and achc Williamson
without further resistance little after IL. This is
small town, having before the from five to seven
hundred inhabitants. We found it almost entirely de-
serted; one or two white men being ell in the
place Our halt here about three hours aud at the
end of that time the town was thoroughly pilaged-
| Not only useful and ornamental articles taken
from houses and horses harness. and carriages from
barnes, hut stores were entered and sack d, and
with the "appeiack discovered and the whskey dealt
| out by order, not few were dead drunk, and many
more partially phrensed When we moved consdrra
bic number Lad to be urged almost at the point of the
bayoRet whilst others were loaded into ambulances anC
| baggage. wagons.
The division went forward to Hamilton, little
town of from three TO four hundred souls. But instead
of ching into the town, were encamped In acorn
field just outside of it. The order was, that two OF
three men be sent out to forage provisions tor eac
company, and no others allowed in town. But, whetht
by open dsobedience by the connvance of those VIII
should have enforced the order, the town soon, II
camp language, 'cleaned out" even more completed
than WILLIAMSON. Not on were houses sacked AM
everything portable aud desirable carried or bu
valuable furniture dashed to pieces beds dragged int
the streets and burnt-in one field myself counte
eight ten-but nearly or quite dozen houses wer
needessIy, barbarously burnt
Il is little wonder, if such be the conduct OF on
forces ywhee, that should acquire al unenviao
reputation.
