Yankee Earbariries in Louisiana

We find, in the Lynchburg "Rcpublican,'
the following particulars in regard to the
brutal treatment Of Major S. Roberts and his
two sons, in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, by
the Yankee garrison ut that place:
1t seems that the enemy had gained infor-
nalions through negro iuf0rtuerS, (and they
:rart no better testimony that Josiah Ro-
berts, and CIV. Roberts. were soldiers. the
former regular enlisted Confederate soldier,
the latter Captain ola Guerrilla company,
were then at their IlLher's house. Collecting a
body CT his men, Colonel AcMilton, of the
2lst Indiana Regiment, proceeded, under negro
guidance: to the house Of Major S. Roberts.
Surrounding the house, they demanded the
Surrender OF Josuh and &; u. Roberts,
Knowing too well whar would be their fate,
they determined to die rather than surrender
SEEING gun, Josiah was about TO make the
best Of delencc, when he fell st his fathers
door, pierced rs several balls. Major s.
Roberts, veteran OF 1912 and 1915, and up
wards Of four score years. graSped the gun
FROM his dying son, and shot down Colonel
Mention. The officer next III command then
ordered his men to charge tayoncts upon and
murder the sd old Scounarel." The old
Major stepped back y pace or two, and told
them that she was lord und master Of his
own house. that he had done the deed ant,
that if they advanced one step. he would ire

bravery, the commanding officer told lis men
not to hurt the old man under any consd-
Grafton, but to take him prisoner for he wa5
too brave TO kill
bnt numbers prevailed, and the old u.an
and son We're taken prisoners. Then conn

The house was Set Oh fire, As were likewise
barns, the 6 in and sugar houses and burnt To-
the ground. The mules, horses and stocl;
were driven oil, negroes taken away, carts,
wagons and farming utensils were seized, and
growing crops destroyed. Not q building was
left to tell where lately ilourishcd prosper

finement, was driven cut and forced to ilv
from 6 house that WAS burning over hor head,
and obliged To walk several miles TO seek
shelter Tor herself and tender babe, ia the
house of a neighbor, and to procure assistance
to remove the body Of the dead That brave
old man, borne down by wrecked eonSti-
tuition and the weight Of oppressive years,
was compelled to walk twelve miles, over

the Picayuue has not exhausted his plans for
the humiliation OF Southern ladies:
yERgrm S.r.-Some hundred miles or so
North of this village, there is large cotton
factory in operation. just now the work OF
the factory runs low for want Of hands. 1t
has been suggested that the powers here are
about to forward to this institution quite

this is done cotton manufactures atthe Baton

The ARKANSAS

The NichShurs correspondent ol the Mo-

occupies her old position, aw aiting the com
pletion Of few improvements, when she will
again pay her attentions to Yankee fleets.
Great trepidation is manifested b. the enemy
on account Of 1nis stubborn little rercl
steamer. the: fears are ~:eli founded. as
the sad experience on tic morning 81 the 18th
taught them :, lesson which 1hzy had little
expected. Thu Stririural quotation, there
is no rest Tor The wicked = applies well to the
Yankee ticctS--inr since ihe advent oi the
Arkansas, the doughty warriors have had no
rest, and axe unintcrruptedy employed in
sheliing the river, with hope Of striking
the object Of their Ifortal terror Their firing
is So wild and uncertain that il take: no cf-
feet, except by accidental shots. The amount
Of powder aud iron which they have shot
away would be enough to eone.--~> hel,

1t is not 10 be concealed ,hat 4 feeling Of
gloom and despondcncy pcrradcs the public
mind 10 reference 10 our national a!iairS.-
Unlike the temporary sombreneSs which fol-
lowed the battle 81 Bull Run, the present de-
preston seems to deepen with time. That
was 4 great revcr%a. but it did not lessen or
confidence in our rulers, or in the gallantry
or endurance oil our troops. We went To
work Immediately to repair the disaster with
Il degree ofalacrity and hope that son US the
admiration OF foreign NATIONS. Nothing. re-
marks Mr.. Trollope In his late book of travels
could nave been more honorable to the North
crncrS than the franhncs= with which thcy
owned that they had been whipped, except
the chceriulncSs with which they bore their
reverSes and the energy with which they pro-
ceeied TO repair them. Have we lost that
spirit Of scli-reliancc: Are nur Resources
fewer than the Were tlpn: Is Our military
condition worse:
The repuls,.s we i:aYc suffered Oh the Pc
ninsula, it must hu admitted have been very
serious our nobic>t army, composed OF tl!c
Hover of the North. AMI led by the most cx-
pcricnccd generals, has been driven from its
position, and is no" COoped up on tn James

verified by Il counter assault III some other
quarter. It is humliating fact. Tile war
has been greatly protracted by il, and our
exhausted finances still further dlSturbcd.-
But the worst effect has been that we lost
much Of our reliance IN our military chiefs
and in our civic rulers. The most devoted
friends Of Mcclellan pronounce hun failure,
and even the sigac;tv and wisdom OF Hr.
Lincoln is questioned. There has been such
an apparcut want Of foresight and energy III

apparent reluctance to strike earnest anu ae-
