Correspondence of the Western Democrat

BARRIEGER's BRIGADE, Sept II, 1854
Mr.. EDIToR:--Gen. Hampton has just returned
from one of his most successful raids, With por-
ton of his command (chie6y from the Brigades of
Rosser, Dearng, Barringer and Chambliss) he
ianked the Yankee Cavalry, broke through their
lines near the James River surprised four OF their
camps and played havoc generally. Besides the
killed and wounded, and emitting small game, We
brought in the following: 800 prisoners 200 horses,
200 sixteenshooters, 200 sabres, 200 pistols, 200
sets of equipments, wagons and teams, large
supply of ammunition, and 2, ,4S6 Beef Cattle-all
Grant had Our loss not more than thirty all told
The 9th Regiment being on picket was not along
The remainder of the Brigade was there and in the
right place. Gregg Yankee) attempted to cut of
our retreat but Rosser and Barringer soon disposed
of him. Instead of the old familiar yelk the men
raised huge beltOU and We had Bull Run repeated
Hampton is noble man. 1t would mantle win
burning shame the cheeks of thousands of those at
home, living in ease and luxury, or seeking to grow
rch to see this old hero and patriot who has sacri
feed nearly all his vast estates to the cause march
ing at the head Of his men in long and wtariSone
journeys through anxious sleePless nights on scan-
ty fare, yet ever cheerful and leading them on
to victory. More than this He has borne Sights,

For the STANDARD

FOR the STANDARD.
Mr.. EDITOR Being compelled to remain several
hours in the town Of North. Carolina through
which l was recently passing, | witnessed an
instance of brutality which panied my heart.
soldiers wife had been to the army on visit to her
husband, with q babe about eighteen months old,
and was returning home. She had no escort, and
had to remain in the place referred to from r NJ:
until P. NJ. next day. she aPPneaN N At .ne noaei
for lodging and on being refused by the manager
she asked to be allowed to stay in the office, which
was also refused, although she repeatedly urged as
a reason that her child was sick and cold She tneh
took bench in the cold, damp piazza, and before
morning her child was dead. A kind soldier, VINO
happened to be passing, relieved her oil holding tne
child from late at night until it died IN his arms
Onlearninc the circumstances gentleman and lady
good Samari tans-repaired to the notel, ana NJ
tended to the decent burial OF the child.
Mr.. Editor, war is demoralizing, bat who would
have thought that such . scene could nave tsken
place in this Christian country, not one hundred
miles from the State capital H.
The above facts are from gentleman OF uncouot-
ed veracity. There was not family in the town
referred to- who, il, they had known the situation
of this lady and her child, would not have given
them shelter and medical aid !; but she was obscure
and poor, and too ignorant too modest to go out
upon the streets and solicit aid, and hence the sad
result we have recorded. The moral of this story
is that every one should cultivate on all occasions
spirit of kindness towards the poor and especially
towards the wives and children of our soldiers who
are perilling their all for those who remain at home
And what shall we say of the unfeeling wretch
who thrust this woman with her sick child out OF
the hotelH The owner of the hotel has no doubt
realized hundreds of thousands of dollars of Confed
crate money since the war commenced, much ot
which has been paid to him by soldiers. May his
money perish with him And may these awful
words, which we quote with reverence from the
Holy Book, ring like the trump of judgment IN the
ears OF the unfeeng creature who turned this poor
woman and her child swayl
"Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me- better for him that mlllstone
| were hanged about his neck, and that he were
| drowned IN the depth of the sea"
But this poor woman found one friend in her dis
tress. A rough but noble hearted soldier, moved
by her sorrow, and thinking no doubt of the dear
ones be had left at home took this little lamb in bis
arms as its life ebbed away, and held it until the
Good Shepherd gently called it to His bosom, We
would like to know his name, and the names of the
gentleman and lady who had the body Of the child
decently put away.
