BRUTAL OuTRAGE-THEEE UNION
LADIES VloLATED.-Th Nashville
Union has been Informed, on unims
peachable authority, of one of the most
horrible and revolving crimes ever per
petrated on the soil OF Tennessee. "A
partv of guerrillas, FIVE in number, be-
longing to Dick McCann's command,
it is said went on last Tuesday night to
the house of "a highly respectable citizen,
about eight miles from Nashville, on
the Nubin Ridge road, and violated the
person of his wife and daughter in the
most brutal manner. The rutiians,
whose lust and revenge were still I'M
satisfied, leaving this scene OF HORROR
went to the house of highly estimable
widow in the vicinity and treated he
in the same fiendish manner. These
families are both represented in Col
onel Strokes Cavalry, and the rebels,
unable to revenge, themselves on the
men, slaked it to the uttermost on the
persons of helpless females, their wives
and daughters. The atrocious crime
was committed almost in sight OF the
Capitol of Tennessee. The Union says
few weeks ago it recorded a similar
outrage committed by the guerrlllas on
tho nersonr of n respectable Young
woman, the daughter of an aged and
loyal citizen, and again it says its pages
are.blackened by the record of rebel
shame. The heart sickens at the reci-
tai of such acts, which disgrace human
ity itself, the cheek ofthe stoutest turns
pale at the thought that the unclaimed
passions of men, revelling on the break
ing up of law and order consequent on
this damnable rebellion, may soon make
the chastity of women as little regarded
as the lives of their husbands, brothers
and sons are.
We are rcjoiced to learn that these
infamous wretches were caught by a
force sent out by General Negley.
Forty, including Col. Bennett, were
killed. Bennett and Barksdale, two
of the scoundrels, were members OF
the Legislature that carried Tennessee
out of the Union.
