YANKEE BARBARISM.

Some of our lately y-returned prisoners
state that, last May, the Confederate pri-
soners at Point Lookout and Fort Della
ware were vaccinated, by general order,
and the vaccine matter turned out to be
poisonous. Many of cur men had their
arms amputated, and number died
within a week after vaccination. Two
of the men belonging to Virginia regi-
ment, who have lately returned as sick,
are in sad condition. The whole arm
is inhamed and swollen, and the arm OF
one has lately broken out at the wrist in
terrible sore. There is cankerous
sore on the arm of the other, some four
or five inches in diameter, and the flesh
all around is perfectly black. The pos
sihility is that both will lose their arms.
This same fiendish act was perpetrated
on our Camp Chase prisoners in Ohio
some two years ago, when many of our
men were inoculated with disease toe
horrible to mentions and died loath
some death or were rendered miserable
for life. Is there no limit to Yankee In
humanity =?

FROM RICHMOND-EARLY AT THE CAPITAL.
A dispatch from Washington, dated the 23d in
stant, says:
There is information from City Point, dated yes

All hopes of the evacuation of Petersburg by the
enemy until forced into it by General Grant, have
been given up The rebels, if attacked, could aban-
don the city without danger of serious molestatiOn
Richmond, there is not the slightest probability that
any movements on the part of General Sherman
will induce Lee to weaken his force as to render
necessary a greater contraction of his lines. All
information received from Richmond indicates that
the rebels entertain idea of abandoning their po-
selves in unprecedented manner to increase their
depots OF supplies and ordnance.
A letter from Buffers headquarters says:
The most important news at this point is the intel
gence, brought in by deserters who enter our lines,
that Early, with large force has arrived at Rich
mond and lies between the city and General But
ler's lines Some regard this fact indicating con-
centratOn of troops preparatory to an attack on our
position by the enemy. Others, with more reason,
consider it purely precautionary measure on the
part OF the enemy, dictated by his apprehension OF
a grand combined attack by the :" armies operating
against Richmond - i'll probable conjunction with
