Edward Hayes Writes from NegrOs.

Edward Hayes, of this place, is now
fighting with the L. S. troops in the
island of Negros. His parents received
letter from him yesterday in which
he describes q raid made by his regi-
ment into the internal parts of the
island. 1t is bloody chronicle. Their
first undertaking was to surround four
houses and kill three of the enemy. In
cidentally, six were taken prisoners.
They then proceeded farther, shot four
more of the natives and captured an
other six. By this time it was late in
the day and they struck camp. During
the night they were constantly harsssed.
Next morning they had another skirm-
ish in which two more natives perisbed.
The work of devastation began; the
regiment burned number of houses
and destroyed 200 bushels of rice. One
other native met his doom. Altogether
sixteen men, four women and two
horses were captured, and the soldiers
proceeded to headquarters without
further molestation
