OUTRAGES OP BUTLEIl'S NEGRO TROOPS. We have received. froiu a cprrrspondent residing l .Westmoreland county, the following account of recent atrocities perpetrated bj the Yankee negro troops in that Depart ment. Their recitrd enough to make the blood boil with indignation : hh -'It seems that Oeneral Butler, about the lOt of las: month issued an order tl:at the prisoners i ana.trt.Hips at I'ciut -Lrwkout iitdulj bs fed from the Northern Neck and that portion of "Essex ly j l"Sf iinriit'diatt ly on the Rappahannock, and had ; not been strinre.I hv tbp oi.nius In r.,rCn.nn f j -f-i - , ..... ......... .. i ti.:(.i..J.. mo oteonu jassacnusett. negro in fantry, 700 strong, Col Draper, a white man, com manding, with "one hundred white cavalry; from the fifth and second regulars, started for the North ern Ntvk, landing at Kinsale. Four hundred ne groes (with white commissioned officers) and fifty j white cavalry proceeded to devastate W'cstmore- 1anc; ccuntv. dttrotir, to ,F j J o J lt lutii iuc vi tnurcn. Among others, the gallant Col. Tieale, 9th .Vir ginia. cavalry, seemed to be an object of particular tspite with them, tearing up everything, shameful ly abusing his family, taking off his corn, bacon and oilier provisions, lion. WiUcughby Newton, near the Hague, was also a great sufferer, losing all his farming implements; the negroes saying they would have farms 'in Maryland and would tu t d them. They said when t hey came again they would take everything 31r. Newton had; that they h id orders to ci me every wttk for a month or two, so as to get all the glowing crop of wheat, &c Among other great sufferers was Mr. Bro'wn, near the Hague. Everything but his house was' de stroyed. Mr: 'Ben English, after having every thing destroyed, was stripped, tied up and -given thirty-nine lashes with the cowhide. And, more horrible but only too true, twenty-live or thirty ladies were violated by this party of negroes. I could kive names, but deem it best not Neither age nor color was spared by these demons, who were encouraged by their white oflieera. Is it surely not tin.;e to raise the black flag. lbs rest of the regiment, 300 strong, with 50 white cavalry, under the immediate . command of Col. Draper, marched to Eichmoud county. On the route six negroes violated the person of Mrs l. eleven different times, she beingthe wife of a brave soldier of the Ninth Virginia cavalry, being also sick at the time, with an infant six weeks old at her breast. This is only one instance out cf twenty others of a like putrage. Mrs. Dr. Belfieid whipped fivti negroes from hfer rooui, thus heroical ly'ciel'ending herself. They plundered cvery-budy of everything in their jitxof march. With" a large nm-uint of' plunder they succeeded in reach ing I'n ion wharf They Ecnt their plunder en board their vessel.5. 'ihey then mde preparation to piveeed across the cevtntry to Heath villo, Nor thumberland county. ut the uk:i of Richmond county, in tiuir rear had become aroused, and the cry of vengeance Irom ruined women and desolated heal thsto.nes arose to the very heavens. Old men and bt'3S, and even deserters and conscripts, with such arms as they could collect, with a lew disa bled soldiers who were at home, with Col. Brock enbrough at their head, marched down towards Union wharf, determined on revenge. When they arrived they found the infernal negroes at their devilish work, uttt rly destroying everything be longing to Messrs. 1'earson k Rockwell, tying Mr Rockwell up and cowhiding hrm. But the hour ot retribution was fast approaching. Lteit Col Lewis, of the 0th Virginia cavalry, being at home in Lat.Ci.-ier, on furlough, with such men as h? could hastily coileef, and a few of the La t. easier cavalry, who happened to be itufl e county, bcini; about oO mounted men in all, forming a junction with Colonel Brockenbrough.'s command near Union wharf, on the morning of the lGih joined battle wit.h the negro Yankees. Colonels Brocket, trough and Lewis having made a skillful disposition of theic small and ba liy arm ed commi.nds, quietly awaked the charge of the enemy. Colonel Draper ordered one hundred no- x gvoes to make a -charge oti our men, wi.icti tney ' did, in platoons, at a double quick, with their guns leveled. ihey ured.by platoons aj our men with the utmost coolness, t.bey being out of the rane of shot guus The rt serve, demisting of two hun dred negroes, were then ordered up. As-se'on as our men. eonimenced firing, mest of the negroes fell back. Colonel Draper placed himself at t-he bead of the cava-lry, but they were met with a vol ley which mortally wounded Col. D. and four or five others of the cavalry. Col. Lewis then order- j ed his cavalry to charge, which they did in. most ! gallant style, killit. four and several j others, and canturing two of the cavalry with their horses and equipments. Our lofs was four wound ed, none lulled two being accidentally wounded. bet the people of the South remember whr.t ii to be the fate of our women if the yankees succeed. HntiKAU in Japan.

We have several times hoard the remark, that no pon-J couij COy,e 0f fue invasion of the. territo ry of tha North; that our armies lob" better keep but of Maryland, Pennsylvania, &c; that such movements tend anlv to exasrera'a tbo , among whooi they are made, and to unite those who otherwise might and .would, Lccom divided ;'amon themselves. Now, with all dbe re?nect for the vr reneefa- I ll'j gcytlemeti wbcm wc bare. heard expre? tlWe ; opinions', we must say that wc cannot arce with tnem. j he time wa3 when these arguments might have had somo weight, but that ticie has Log since passed. Putting aside President Davis, his advisers and our Generals, who some people might s-ippose bo&t prepared to jiidge ef the policy of army move ments, we will discuss the question entirely on our own judgment. Every intelligent person at the North knows that the South is uot fighting. for conquest that it has never, and does not ever propose to subju gate the people' of the North, or to confiscate their houses, lauds, goods and effect. That wc desire only to bo let alone, has been iterated and" reitera ted, and whenevcr-our army his gone into the Northern States, private property has been respect, cd, and care has been taken to impress the fact ipon the miiwis uf the people that we are waging no war of iul-jugalion or conquest; we do not ask them to take any oath tf allegiance to the Confed erate tufc; wo expect them to remain in their own State, which we do notjiesign to hold, don't with to live in, and which, under any circumstan ces, we never expect or desire to belong to the Confederate States. They kruw these things Juki as well as wo do. They knotv thr.: if wa arc Jet alone if the war agajnst us is etopred they will, never be' molested, but will be left lo the quiet en joyment of their ow n homes and institutions.- If, then, they would not have their own grounds convened into battle-fields,-and themselves forced to witness or to share in thy .work of ' destruction and death, let I hem go to work in the cau-.e of peace. Peace, peace,is all wc want, and wc are fighting becauoe our enemies will give us no peace But even suppose that we should fau some smouldering fires into a blaze, or stir up some phlegmatic Pentiftylrania farmers, or Ohio-pork-men; must we, for fear of these, remain quietly in our own borders, while their soldiers, tnakc raids through our unprotected districts, robbing, burn- uig and leaving in their track a barren waste Is It good policy that we should continue to t-uffer all the honors of war, without even attimpting retal iation? Is it likely that .:icli meek .conduct would cause our foes to cease their acts of vandal i:n? On ttiwother hand, is it not n ere pifbuble (hat when theyare inado to know that tlu ir friends ut homo wiil sutler the sam,- measure of won that they in flict upon the iouth, tjia't their own homesteads may be iu danger; their own wives and children subject to the t-aine suffering and indignities that they inflict upon the women and children of the South; is it not tuorc probable, we say, that when they are made to know and feci these things, they will pause before they appJy the totch to private dwellings, and insult and abuse unprotected women and children? These arc some e-f tin? questions which those who assert t fiat invasion ot the North is wrong should ai-k themselves. Oiber questions concerning the checkmating of Grant, Sic , we say nothing about, though they may possibly have more dot running-influence than, any of the others. Let the 'home-folks at the North feel s -me ed the . horrors t-f war;, let the in witness these from their own door steps; let them feel that the f-huck of battle may overwl.cloi and bjry theta and all that they hold dear in oorocntnou ruin. Let all thefe influences work upfn.l"ctn, and the chances are, that they will be made active peace men, in stead of vengeful warriors. Indeed, we do 'not know but if would be faf best to pursue, wherever we go in ihc enemy's territo ry, the f;im course that they have pun ued in .urs carry off, burn, destroy, by waste everything. This wuuld te only strict justice, though so far we hare done no sucii thing. In General L' e's expe dition into Pennsylvania private pretpe-rty was left uninjured and peaceful citizens unmolested. The people of the North all know that the South does not wish to c ',uduct the war in a barbarous, but i a civiiiKrd nnr.ner, ar.d if our amy does up ply the sword and torch they will I'uily understand that .is only iu retaliation for what they have done in the South.' . Should we. retaliate, appears to Q3 to be fully fettled in tire affirmative. Can we doeo, is a ques tion wc mu.t leave our Government to d eimine. Charlotte Bulletin. Dr.stnfLP.s in Yadkin.
