YANKEE L1KE.-1f tie Yankees possess one mean
and garing trait, for they have good ones,
than another it is their utter ignoring Vt all civil and
human usages in their treatment of our people when
der their Infamous rule and power. No sooner had
they pol ued the soil of Rapdes with their presence
than one of their Generals, Butlerke, ordered the i'm
mediate execution of one of best citizens. The
cod-booded murder of r. Fl. Glaze can only find an
equal ia this war in that of Mumfcrd. Dwight pock
