.SacriIege.

We have been told that the Federals in
Vicksbnrg broke open the tomb of the late
Hon. W. A. Lake and his children, exposing
the bodies to the sun, in their search after
plate and other valuables!
We had supposed that the grave was sa-
cred from violation at the hands of all men
claiming to possess the smallest particle of
decency or honor; and that such hideous con-
duct was alone reserved for men like Beast
Butler. Butler exhumed the bodies of Gen.
Sidney Johnston and Lieutenant Col. Chas. d.
Dreux in New Orleans last summer, in search
of plumber, but the foul act raised such cry
of horror and execration throughout Christen-
dom. that it was reasonable to infer such hor
rible acts Of depravity would never occur a.
gain. But it seems we are mistaken, and
that the atrocities at New Orleans are to be
riyalled, if not surpassed, >at Vicksburg-
