THE ENEMY's DEPREDATIoSs.-A corrcspon-
dent writes from Swift Greek, Craven County, NJ
g., to the Raleigh Progress as follows:
"Thinking you would like to hear from this
section, avail myself Of few moments to lot you
know how the. enemy had been acting in this
vicinity since Gen. Hills siege at Washington, N.
G. They have been pretty quiet down on this
side of the River They made one raid on this
place, commanded by General Spinola, which con-
sisted of Psnnsy ylvania troops. They burnt some
few store houses on the Greek. They went 10 an.
old ladys house and demanded her money and pa
pers, which she refused to deliver, and seeing
that she did not intend 10 give them up, they
searched her person and took from her some 800,
and gold watch that belonged to her son who
had been dead for several years, and took nearly
everything they could lay their polluted hands on
They drove widow lady that lives near Barring
tons Ferry out of her house, and did not givo her
time to remove its contents before they set il on
fire and burnt il, toe ether with every house on her
premises, TO ashes.
But the worst Of all is when they started
through to Blount's Greek to relieve that mean
dog, Foster, they werc so mad that they, in one
instance, after they were defeated, stopped at q
house and wanted TO know IL thcy had any arms
buried; they replied they had none. They called
the lady Of the house q liar, and went 10 the
grave yard where there was a new grave and dug
into it, and broke into the box and the coffin, and
left it in this condition. This Mr. Editor, Gao
vouch for as being true for visited the place my
self, and raw the men that filed il up after thoy
had opened it, and they said IL was certainly opeu-
ed and the dead body exposed.
Cau people that robs the grave of its dead
ever prospen Since they have condescended 10
such mean aud theiving acts feel confident of our
success, for a just God (and He is just we know
