The Horrors Of Civil war,

From the St. Jeseph Herald, (Repubican)
From passengers who arrived last night
from below, we learn that Platte City was
almost destroyed yesterday mcrning by the
Federal troops. Not over half the houses
were left standing. The Methodist church
fine buil1ng, the Sentinel printing Office
aud three story brick block in which il was
located, together with many business and
dwelling houses are all in ashes.
Once in possession of the town, and a sad
scene of pilsge and destruction commenced
such as we ln.pe never again to Witness
Houses were burned and F;iilased, and tho
heavens were lighted for mites around with
the flames. Late n tie night the fires con-
tinued, and again IN the morning were re-
nswed, About two thirds Of the town we're
destroyed.
The fine residence Of Dr.. Thomas, living
at the edge Of the town, was in "a shoulder
ing heap Of ashes, the d cror had been taken
out and shot. dc Was an old man, bore a
good character, but ii waE reported he had
visited q sick guerilla, hence his fate.
One Olyis, formerly one of the militia.
who had joined the guerllIas at Platte CITY
was captured having his leg broken. Que
of the party held him up, and another placed
his carbine close to the pris rner's head, fired
and the soul Of Oivis was in the presence Of
his maker.
Great Heaven is this christian coua-
try?
