r q. 8. RAN SWITZERLAND, Vicksburg, May 90.
MsssRs. CLARK MILFORD:
The buildings Of one entire street in
! Yszoo City are in ashes. This result was
& brssghs about on the evening of the 18th
inst, BY the effort of the exasperated
soldiers Of the 18th Illinois Infantry,
who had just had quartcrmaster, an or.
derry sergeut and private hung by the
guerillas under Adams, on the evening
sf the preceding day. Ten of their pick,
~ had, also, at the same time, been muir
dsrously assailed, in open violation of all
nyinciples That govern an honorable foe
San which soon brought about the com.
rneneement Of the decomposition of their
bodies. The retaliation upon the enemy
was just, but not sufficient when com par.
cd with the enornity of the crimes they
had committed. In my opinion, the en-.
tire city ought to be reduced to heap of
smoulderiOg ruins, since many of Adams
men have their homes there and have Of
ten had protection afforded them by our
army when they claimed it as citizens.
The fire originated ia tina. part of the
city most distant from where our boat
lay. It was serene aud beautiful! even
ang, and everything was unusually quiet
bscsuse everybody, almost, was antic-
patipg the illumination. Nothing could
D seen for long time that indicated
the existence Of fire, but suddenly it
bsfst forth in large and intensely brill
hst f1ame, which was Immediately fol-
bwed BY loud crashing sound aud the
Wild huzzas Of our soldiers Then came
dark black mass of smoke which soon
formed itself into tall majestic column,
reaching higher and still higher every
moment, until its very magnitude seemed
the perfection Of sublimity. Then it
came onward toward US, perfect bosom
Of destruction, leveling to the ground the
noss magnificent and costly structures Of
the place. 1t was grand sight, and
cruel - 1t may seem, l rcjoiced at it, as
does every one who has been an eye wit
ness OF the savage barbari,ies practiced
spon our men by the rebels. The spord
] and the frebrond henceforpard until re-.
beAion Is crushed is motto dear t. the
heart OF every one of Gen. McAr,hur's
privates, and as dear to me as them. He
Who wants mercy shown him must first
show It to others. The government has
bsen but too merciful toward its enemies,
uhae they have never, since the inau-
Gnration Of the war, exhibited a spark of
that virtue. Now let them suffer for it.
albeit thei: cause is fast Oh the wane.
Gen. Macarthur left for this place on
tho morning Of the 18th, and portion
of his forces have already arrived. Ad.
