parallel in any war on record. They
appear to act more like tiends from
hell than men in human forms
Some of their atrocities are most
horrible to relate. A few days
ago a young man named Hart was
murdered in Saint Francois county,
under circumstances of the most re.

his capture l,y the bush. whackcrs, he
was suspended from tree in such a
way as to have produced lingering
and eXcruciating death, his hands be-

atrocity was the killing of an old
