YANKEE BARBARlTI.

Among the thousand acts of barbarliy prac-
tir,l bv the Yankee invaders in Virginia. none
have exceeded the murder of Mrs. George H..
Smith. mt Su.!ulk. full account of which has
not before been published.
Mr.. Smith resided about one mile from the
town. a wcll-to-do farmer, having around him
an interesting famly-thc eldest son. gal
liant Young man, in the 10th Virginia regiment.
When Gen. Lungstrcct invested Suffolk, a sharp
artillery and infantry skirmish took place near
Mr.. Smiths residence, and many balls passed
through his houses The Yankees finally ad-
yanccd and fired the houses, forcing the family
TO leave. Mrs. Smith with her seven chill
drcn. the Youngest only ten months old, ut
tomntcd to escape to the woods and into
the Confederate lines. when she was fired
unrn hy the Yankee soldiers. and d Minnie ball
entering her limb Just below the hip, she died
IN thirty minutes from the loss Of blood. The
children frightened. hid themselves in the
bushes while Mr. Smith set down upon tho
c~nund by his wife To sec her breathe her last
AfIer she had been dead for sometime the Yam
kcc commander permitted him to take a cart
ami with no assistance. except one of his chill
drcn. he put the dead body in the cart and
corricd il into town. On his arrival i'll town
br was not permitted to take the remains 81
hi. wife to her brothers residence, until h,
had first gone through the town to the Provost
| MarsharS Office. and obtained permission
On his arrival at the Provost Marshal'S Office
he was .ruiIly told to take his wife 10 the grave
| yard and bury her He carried her to hci
| irothcr's. John Il. kiihy. Esq, and Il few
friends prepared her for burial. Mr.. kilhy mo-
hcinr allowed to leave the house, or to attend
| rho remains Of his sister TO the graveyard.
Nor did the cruelty of the fcnls stop here
Mr., Smith was denied the privilege Of goin:
in search Of his little children. and sor fem
davs and nights they wandered in the woods
and among the soldiers. without anything Il
cat or any place 10 sleep. The baby wa:
taken mn hv Il colorcd woman and nurSed
until some private in the Yankee army, with
Il little better. heart than his associates, tool
| it on his horse and carried it to town. Mr.
Smith is still in the lines of the enemy, hi:
house and every thing else he had destroyed
and his little children cared for by his friends
