Since the signal defeat CT the Lincoinites at
Sacramento, the troops a. Calhoun have
bean perpstrating every species Of outrage
that their cowardly hearts could plan or
their Yankee irgen uity devise. They have
arrested number or privaos citfkans, aud
plunderAd those whom they could no arrest.
The residence Of DIR. Linthicum was vistsu
by the heii-hO unds, and all his nsgr1es
horses and mnlss were stolsu, and wha.
other property they could not carry off they
wantpnIy destroyed.
We learn that Mrs. Morehsad. an e.tirna.

Southern army, and this Is her only offence.
May God In His goodness nerve the hearts
and strengthen the arms OF her gallant sons
