Barbarities and Retaliation.

4 citizen Of Rochester, New York, now
at Memphis, Tenn, who is a well-known
and warm supporter Of President Lincoln,
writes TO the editor Of the Rochester Uh-

"He is satisfied that what was told OF
the cruelty Of the rebels at Fort Pillow is
true-that the negroes were slaughtered
there without mercy. But he adds that
the negro troops in Tennessee had been
guilty Of great brutality to whites who
we're not regarded as very friendly TO the
Union cause. In one instance that cane
to his knowledge, party Of these troops
entered house, and one ofthem threw a
pan of hot embers into cradle where an
infant was sleeping, and burned the little
innocent in most shocking manner. In
another instant they seized n very corpu-
lent old man, put a rope about his neck
and dragged him 10 an fro till he was near
ly lifeless. Appeals were made TO the Of
fcers in command OF the district where
these outrages we're Perpetrated, but no
satisfaction could be obtained. These
matters became known TO the rebel troops
and they went into Fort Pillow burning
for revenge and there gratiied their wick

given TO troops to commit an outrage their
baser passions might suggest, the war has

The body of Lieutenant Col. Weiheuke,
OF the Second New Jersey regiment, was
found stripped naked, lying in an orch.
ard. This closed the days fighting, The
enemy being driven back into his en-
trenchments. Some sharp skirmlshiaE

During last night the army again chan
