AN INSTANCE OP YANKEE IMPUDENCE.
The Atlanta Confcderacg pours broad
side into the Yankee correspondents, cap
tured near Vicksburg recently. Read:
Last evening some correspondents OF the
New York World and New York Tribune
were brought here among a batch OF pris-
oners captured at Vicksburg a few days
ago. They had not been here half hour
before the impudent scamps got one OF
the sentinels to go round to the newspaper
offices in the city with their card, y re-
questing the favor of some exchange pa
pers to read. Their impudence is beyond
comprehension upon any other considera-
| ton than that they belong to the Yankee
press gang. Yankees everywhere are
more impudent than any honest race OF
people can be, and Yankee newspa-
per man is the iuintessence of all impu-
dence., We thought we had seen and un-
derstood something of this Yankee ac-
complishment in times gone by-(some
specimens Of it haze been seen in the South,
but the unheard of etfrontery that
prompted these villains, who were caught

courtesies and civilties which gentlemen
of the press usually extend to each other
is above and beyond all the unblushing au
dacity we ever Imagined. They had come
along with Northern vandals, to chronicle
/ their rapes, arsons, plumbers and murder:
and to herald them to the world as deed:

emies-far more deeply stepped in guilt
and far more richly deserving death thai
/. the vilest vandal that ever invaded thu
sanctity of our soil, and outraged oul
homes and our peace. we would greatly
