! At FIVE o'clock, on Monday evening, a body
of Yankees, numbering between SIX hundred
and thousand, dashed into the little town 6f
Warrenton. Their arrival had been daily her
aided and expected for more than a. week.
After investing the place, they proceeded first
to break the muskets in the hands Of our Pro
vost Guard, and next to- parole our sick and
wounded, eight hundred in number, who Were
in the hospitals. Having hastily performed
their business transactions, they departedsin
the direction of Manassas. During their stay
of something under two hours, they betrayed
good deal of apprehension lest they should
themselves be surprised, and were all anxious
to be gone. We have obtained these facts
from some of our wounded who were par6led
upon the occasion, and reached this city last
evening-Richmond Eran,iner.

an Elder in the Presbyterian church, adminis-1
tered the sacrament to the church members in
his army He invited all christians to partici
pate in this ceremony, A Baptist, the straight
est of his sect, thoroughly imbued with the
idea of close communion, was seen to hesitate,
but the OCCASION and the man who presided
overcame his scruples, and thus it has happened
that the prospect of fight and the eloquence
of Jackson, made Baptist forget that baptism
is the door into the church. In Jackson'sS

army an oath is rarely uttered. A religious
enthusiasm pervades it, which makes every man
hero. Conscious of the Justice of our cause
and imbued with the strongest convictions Of

incident, we have an explanation of General
Jackson's invincibility, and We are thus enabled

why they endure without murmur the soyer-T

ing their late raid near Bluffton, behaved as
usual, wantonly destroying private property
wherever they went They entered the beau.
tiful Episcopal Church near the Bluff, and to-
tally destroyed the fine organ, smashed sthe
window sashes and behaved themselves gener-
ally like savages. At Mr. Crowells unpretend-
ing cottage, they broke up his dairy, throwing
the milk, curds and butter over the walls and
floors, of course, helping themselves first
They destroyed his salt works completely, and
did as much mischief as was possible in tile
few minutes they remained ashore. A party,
it is said, entered one of the spacious residences

The VANDALs AT ST.. .AUGusrINE.-Weh hear,
from letter received in this cit yesterday, Of
another instance of Yankee barbarity wherever
they acquire foothold on our soil.
Not content with taking possession of the
town of st. Augustine, and extending their
hateful tyranny over the good people of the
place, the Commandant issued orders, some
days ago, for all the women and children whose
near relatives were in the Confederate service
to prepare to leave the town. A steamer was
in readiness, and on the Oath instant about one
hundred women and children were forced to GO
aboard, without the slightest idea Of their des-
tination. The vessel sailed out Of port, but
nothing has been heard Of her up to this time.
