10 The People Of Colunlbia County.
Understanding that, in certain portions
of the County, the report is in circulation,
that the "Act to protect Sheep and tax

that some political opposition is sought to
be made against him, based upon that Re-
port. He desires to say that the Act re-
ferred to, was passed by his predecessor in
1861, and approved by Governor Curtin,
on the Goth of March, of that year. The
undersigned was Member oil the Legis-
lature, during the Session of 1s62,-a year
after its passage-and Of course, in no.

Horrible Crimes Of the Negro
Soldiers.
from the Richmond Inquirer


We have received from correspondent
residing in Westmoreland county, the fol-.
lowing account of recent atrocities commit
ted by the Yankee negro troops in thai de-
partment, Their recital is enough to make
the blood boil with Indignation
1t seems that Gen. Butler, about the
10th Of last month, issued an order that
the prisoners aud troops at Point Lookout
should be fed from the Northern Neck and
that portion of Essex lying Immediately
on the Rappahannock, and had not been
stripped by the enemy. In pursuance OF
said order, the I'd Massachusetts negro in
fsutry, 700 strong, Col. Draper, a white
man, commanding, with one hundred white
cavalry, from the 9th and I'd regulars,
started for the Northern Neck, landing at
hinsaIe. -Four hundred negroes with
white commissioned officers land fifty white
cavalry proceeded TO dcvastate Westmore.
land county, destroying everything in their
line of march
Among others, the gallant Col. Beale,
9th Virginia Cavalry, seemed to be an
object OF palicular spite with them, tear
ing up everything, shamolully abusing his
family taking off his crop, bacon and other
provisions. Hon. Wiloughby Newton,
near Hague, was also great sufferer, los,
ing all his farming implements the negroes
saying they would have farms in Maryland
and would need them.
Among the great sufferers was Mr..

BIS" 1t is every day becoming more GER
tain that the Chicago Convention will be q
unit in action and sentiment. The course e
of the administration has made it easy and
ieasable. We expect to announce the
name of the Democratic Candidate for the
Presidency in our next Our success is
now certain. Lincoln is growing weaker
and more odious constantly. Soldiers and
civilians, politicians and people are all
down on him.
Those who voted for change in 1860,
and all their friends are now going to vote
for another change. The workngman
don; believe In being underbid by free ne
groes, and they are going to restore the
Union on the old basis, with every man in
his place.

CORREsPON DENCE.
FoR THE CoLuMBtA DEMOCRAT.
Renio,i. dug. 2ISf 1864.


DEAR Col There has been quite an
excitement, amongst the people in this part
Of the county, the past few days. II twas
first caused by certain party of rowdies,
who we're prcwling about this, and adjoin
ing neighborhoods, in the dead hour Of
night, disturbing pcaceable citizens and
having, as they said, some fun with them,
until one OF them, came very near losing
his life, by their midnight revels, which
raised quite howl among their abolition
friends who were uPholding them, in their
guerilla raids, and who, were going to raise
q mob, and hang certain Democrats, burn
their property, &C., but as is the case with
all the great things they undertake to do
they did the wind work, and lett the rest
undone. But when they heard there were
some soldiers quartered at your place they
were in ecstacies about il, and you could
see them going around rubbing their hands,
looking very wise, and telling how the
"C0pperheads were going to catch it now
now tho soldiers were going to hang them
up and burn their property, and thus rid
the county of those horrid sesesh who al
ways defeated them al the elections then
they (the truly IoyaO could have things
their own way. Now, l think if those
would be loyal men would trace their line
age back as far as l77s, perhaps they
would find that their forofalhers figured
quite conspicuously under the notorious
John Butter, at the Massacre Of Wyom.
ing, or, at least they will find that some OF
the same blood was in them. From such
men it is very common to hear the epithet,
"traitor" cast at truly loyal citizens only
because they differ from them in their
views, Such men would gladly see their
neighbors destroyed and not even shudier
at the sight. Those very persons have
been doing all in their power to get the
people aud the powers that be, to come in
contact with each other, SO they could get
their accursod ends accomplished. They
have been trying to make people in 9th er
parts of the county, believe the Democrats
here had rebelled built fort, mounted it
with cannon and were going to resist the
powers that be, to the last "ditch :" al! OF
which is falsehood, that alono cmanates
from such unprincipled persons. The peo-
pie of this place are law-abiding citizens,
with the exception of few hot headed
a6olitaon'StS and renega/c Democrats, who
have become so terribly affected with "nig-
ger>on-the BRAIN that presume they re-
ally believe they are loyal citizens. sim
cerely hope they will get the terrible in
cubus moved from their minds so they can
see the awful state they are in, when, per
haps, they will learn to mind their own
business and let civil pcop'e alone, and
thereby put an end to grea. deal of strife
amongst their neighbors and be q blessing
to themselves generally.
