THE LATE YANKEE RAID IN NORTH
ALABAMA.

Below give an account OF the vandalism ana
savage brutality Of the Yankee cavalry Ius-
cun,bia, Ala, on the 22d February; The account
is from pen of the editor Of the North Alabam-
ian, published at Tuscumbia: His Office was de-
stroyed by them
"The enemy camped in and around the publ C
square, tore the fencing from arousd fine private
residences for frewood, picketed their horses in
front yards among flowers and shrubbery. The
Yankee commander" took up his quarters in the
fine residence Of DR.. L. G. Chisholm; his officers
broke open closets and pantries and helped them
selves. Every ncrib and smoke-house in the
neighbour hood forced open, the camp was
strewn with -four, bacon, preserves and pickle jars,
ladies' dresses, infants clothing, and every magi
nable kind of plumber. Before morning nearly
every residence in to Hn had been Quilted, ladies
pulled out of bed and searched, money, watches,
plate, jew,lry, forcibly taken; as fast as one set
would leave house another would come in, and
the same search gone over with. Officers We'd
with the privatcs. every one seemed to be trying
70 act than his predecessor The male cti-
zGns, if they demonstrated, hurried to prison.
The churches were vilely polluted, organs smash
ed, carpets torn up and he flag Of the chest Gov
eminent the world ever saw hosted in triumph
over the church steeple. Now these things were
not the work of few; all at it. Col. Cornyn,
upon being demonstrated with for allowing such
things, replied: II don't care damn what my
men Co." The vilest GESTURES and language were
used towards ladies' acts were committed which
cannot shock your readers by mentioning. Wed
nesday morning, after the commander had let his
men get all the money and valuables in The town
by the knock down and drag out method, he play
ed another game, his last and biggest trump.
Here is a fac sjnHc of several notices that were
served upon citizens of the town and neighborhood:

GoLD.-Gold is going down in Richmond
This decline is caused by the diminished demand
on the market-the harvest of the Jews and for.
eigners leaving Richmond being well over. Gold
has no longer standard price, but is purely an
article Of merchandise, and its price is affected
solely by the demand forit in the contraband traf-
fc with the North, and not from any dstrust in
Confederate money. The price of gold in no way
affects the value of Confederate notes, and the
slnp reason of its high price is that the South
has been drained of it since the war began by
"blockade runners" whose enormous profits on
their goods allow them to pay any price for it.

Eas~It is very evident that the North is not
without grave apprehensious that France NAV in.
terfere in the present revolution, and force the
Lincoln despotism to release it's grip upon the
South. The Abolitionists have hopes, however,
that the complication of European affairs are such
as to porend hostilities and general war. Among
the elements in the caldron, which is to produce
this diseord, is said to be the restitution from
England Of Gibraltar to Spain. IF this is the onv
ground relied on, the North will be disappointed

ORGANIZING INsURREcTIoNs.-Accor to
the Hilton Head correspondent of the New York
Tribune, deliberate preparations have been made
by Federal commanders in the South for marching
body of 5000 negroes Offered by whites, and
supported by regular troops into some of the most
thckly populated districts of one of the three
States comprised in the Department of the South,
to act liberating h@t to the bondmen of the
chosen field of operations who know when they
will appear, and are ready to rise in thousands
and swell it to a wave so mighty that it will
sweep both rebellion and slaves out of. existence
wherever it s,ay roll. There can be no answer to
sach plans and such utterances these in words.
We simply desire to put them upon record, and
let the world aud pesterity make its own COM
ment
And let it be remembered that these diabolical
schemes are gotten up by the authorities of a
Government which some Southern men are faund
mean enough to pronounce "the best Govern
ment the world ever saw

b5- If the New York papers report truly,
than 5000 bales of American Cotton have REACHED
New York in one week lately, from Liverpool
Are the English spinners so well supplied with
Cotton that they can afford to let Cotton go to
New York? In connection with the fact that at
our latest accounts from Liverpool, American Cot
ton was advancing and other descriptions decln-
ing, this return of Cotton may be noted as one of
the results of the war and practical comment on
the Yankee talk about an early suppression Of the
rebellion.
1t may also suggest the question whether there
is not Cotton enough now extant, under present
circumstances, and whether apart from i'm
mediate necessities Of the army and our citizens,
it will not be the best policy to secure full crop
of provisions!

YANKEE VANDALISM.

the outraSeS OF the enemy In Missouri, Arkansas
and Mississippi In addition. to these statements,
we have before certified copies of two original
letters from Gen Heron, the Yankee commander
at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, to Capt. NJ D. Hart,
an Arkansas '.jay-hawker," directing him to take
no prisoners and to burn town. The following
is the first letter:
Headquarters I'd and Sd Division
Army of the Frontier, December IT, 1862. I
Captain: have sent Lieut.. White and Is men on
to " bite River to help you clear that section OF
Ingrams band You and he will join forces and work
together. Don't take any of them prisoners. They
have~tired my mail carriers at Midtown and when
up there yon had better burn that place. If you
get Ingram alive send him to me.
Capt. HART Brig Gen. Comd e.
The second letter is three days later, and directs
Hart "if possible to completely destroy" the
"bands infesting that country" "Don't show any
mercy to bush whackers,' says he sOur copies of
these letters come directly from official source
in Arkansas. The originals were found on Capt
Harris person when captured. And he was forth
with hanged by his captors.
This is awful state of things. Bad as the
conduct of the vandals has been in Virginia, it
seems to have been much worse at the West
Indeed, no savage warfare could we'll be worse
than the accounts we copy show to have prevailed
there Retaliation on the spot, whenever oppor-
tunlty Offers is the natural result of such things.
Who could wonder that Hart, renegade bush
whacker himself, should be promptly executed
! when caught with such orders, and no doubt
literally obeying them, to extermnate all whom he
found with arms in their hands defending their
homes and. families from the invasion of such
monsters? The war is more and more tending to
one OF determination.
And yet with all these things before them, the
yankees expect the South to submit to their rule
agaln-agan to become part of detestable Union
with such hideous monsters! 1t is impossible.
The idea is dishonorable even to themselves; how
Infinitely and inexpressibly d;shonorable to every
right-mnded Southron. There can be nothing
short of total and irrevocable separation poiti-
cal, commercial and social, from such a people.
And it must be effected at all hazards, of life and

FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Gen. Banks Fights Three Battles and
W,n: Three Victories.

WASHINGTON, May l.
The National Republican of this after
noon publishes some dispatches from Gen.
Banks. dated near St. Martinsville. April
18th. from which it appears that when
be left Baton Ronge three regiments of
colored troops remained for its defence.
The results, among others. of General
Banks's expedition. are. accomplishing a
march of over miles. beating the
enemy in three battles. two on land and
one on Grand Lake. dispensing the rebel
army. utterly destroying the rebel navy,
capturing the fonndries Of the enemy at
Franklin and New Iberia. and demolish-
ing the salt works 10 miles southwest of
the latter place. capturing the camp
eqnipage of the enemy, also several guns,
and nearly 1000 prisoners. and so dis
arranging the plans of the rebels that they
cannot for some months reorganize.
Other successes of General Banks. al
ready known to the public, are mentioned.
Onr loss in the two land battles was
about six or seven hundred. Nothing
could exceed the conduct of the officers
and privates in Banks's command. The
dispatches say that we have not only de-
stroyed the army and Navy Of the enemy,
and captured his materials for reoigani-
cation. but we have also in our posses
sion his ablest officers of the seq and
land.
