Bulletin. m The Tories in Burke. We hav.e a private letter dated Morganton, March 24th, which says "Robbing in our county is yet going on. The tories made a fine grab yesterday, on Linville riv er, in this county. They called at the residence of W. F. Gibbs, and took from him' four valuable jnules, and a young negro man belonging to Wm. McKesson. After committing other thefts in that immediate neighborhood, they proceeded to the merchant mill and plantation of Wm. F. McKes son, where they were fortunate enough to procure six very fine mules, one horse, and six very prime negro men, among them one of his millers, who has since made his escape. . They then went to the residence of Wm Moore, " and robbed him of all his mules, five in number, . and a large number of articles out of his house, in cluding his gun. They treated other citizens in the same way taking off all good mules and ne gro men, which, at thia season of the year, is a serious loss indeed. They returned across the Blue Ridge about sunset, as they enme, (twenty or thirty in number,) without any one to impede their progress." Salisbury IVatchtnan. Yankee Faithlessness. Some months ago - an arrangement was perfected whereby cotton was to bo sent to the North from Mobile, entrusted to tho care of General Beall, a Confederate prisoner, who was released from Johnson's Island on parole for the purpose. By him it was to be sold and the proceeds invested in blankets and clothing for our prisoners. We are informed by an officer, who has just returned from Northern prisons, that with its characteristic meanness the- Yankee Govern ment has, for several weeks, withheld the supply, and 60tne of our men are consequently again in want. Gcjods shipped to Elmira, only three days' distant from New York City, had not been received in a month, and at Johnson's Island the supply svas even more tardy. Meanwhile every eflort is rnade to induce our soldiers to take the oath, and .when persuasions fail, starvation is resorted to as the aext effective expedient. The result is that those who proved true to the cause have returned home.swearisg vengeance, and will neither take prisoners tw bs taJUo tbemolves.

We have conversed recently with several intel-' ligent oihccis and privates who were in the battle of Dcntonsville, in this State, and our conclusion from the information received is, that this was one of the hottest battles of the war. An officer who has shared all the fortunes of the Army of Tennes see informs us that the roll of musketry for two or three hours, on Suuday the 19th, was equal to any he had ever heard, with the exception of the battle of Gettysburg. Our troops charged with steadi ness and impetuosity, driving the enemy from his two Hues of breastworks and occupying them. The buttle of Sunday was a brilliant victory for Confederate arms. On Monday and Tuesday the fight was renewed to some extent; but we may state with truth that Gen. Johnston displayed as much skill in withdrawing his troops as he had shown determination and vigor in the conflict of Sunday. It is not prop-r that we should publish the reports as to the position of the respective for ces, but we may say that Gen. Johnston is in a safe position where he can deal blow after blow on the enemy. -Our los3 iu these battles is estimated" at some 2,500 killed, wounded and missing, and that of the enemy at 5,000 We leajn that the North Carolina Senior and Junior Reserves fought like lions. These men and boys know no such word as fear. Rentonsville is about forty miles south of Ral eigh, and is between MilP-and Stone's Creeks, about four utiles from Neuse river. It is also about fourteen miles south of SmithOeld, in 'Johnston County, and on the line cast from Faj-etterville to G olds borough . IZaleiyh Sta n da rd. Correspondence of the Raleigh Progress. Camp Palmer's Brigade, March 23. 'Never wa3 there more dash and gallantry dis placed than was exhibited by Palmer's Brigade in their successful assaults upon the breastwork1 of the enemy." Mr. Lilltor : -The above is an extract from an uiuer i&iueu oy xviajor uenerai otevenson compli menting tho troops of his Division for their gal lantry in the late fight at Bentonsville. As the 58th and 60th N. C. Regiments are in Palmer's Brigade, it will be a source of gratification to th'eir numerous friends to learn that -they acted with great gallantry in this their first fight upon the soil, of thcir'nativc State. The Brigade elicted praise from ' both officers,, ud men from different com mands fur the manner in which they acted. It was selected as the directing column, and at 3 o'clock, p. m., moved steadily to the assault, under the immediate observation of Gens. Stewart, Hill, Stevenson and Palmer. It was the first Brigade which reached the enemy's breastworks, which they carried, and, without halting, hastened for ward to attack them in their second and stronger position. Here the enemy had a strong line, sup ported by artillery, but they were again forced back by the irresistible courage and determination of our troops. The Brigade at this point captured several pieces of artillery and a number of prisoners. They moved forward some half a mile to the front under a heavy fire, when the command was ordered to halt and re establish a more perfect line. Never theless a portion of tho Brigade still moved for ward, and pierced the centre of the Yankee army. Not being supported, this portion of the Brigade came very near being captured. A strong Yankee line was formed in the rear, and some 150 men finding that they were entirely cut off from their command, were forced to tear their glorious ban ners from their Huff, and commence the tedious and daring task of rejoining their command by flanking from the rear of Sherman's entire left wing. . Several inen from this party have arrived in camp, after having passed through Sherman's rear ordnance train; and we have great hopes that the greater part of the number will yet rejoin us. Had the nature of the ground permitted the rapid movement of the troops, there is no doubt that our success would have been complete. Too much praise cannot be given for the skilful manner in which General Jos B Palmer handled the troops of his Brigade on this occasion. Ever foremost in the thickest of the fight, he inspired his command with that courage and determination which can know no defeat. In fact, both officers and men acted nobly, and taught Sherman a lesson which he will never forget. The Army of Tennessee has at last learned that it is within "their power to de feat Sherman whenever they are willing to charge as they did on this occasion. -inelossoi the lsngade was aUite severe, pro bably twice as great as that of any other Brigade n knak..,,-- T. 1 -V . m iu aiujjf.

Xvrtheru Paper. W ESTERN 13 KM O GMA7r9 CHARLOTTE, A BUINOUS PRACTICE. There is a very ruinous practice among Confed erate soldiere traveling through the country which ! ...... . .i-. " j ; ounc 10 De speeauy nrre&ieu, ur uu. iu uu, lnust.become inevitable. We allude to the prac- tice of plundering stealing horses, hog?' sheep find notiltrv. ,Tf it were true that our 'soldiers ' have no subsistence provided for them in" travel- ing, through the country, their depredations on ' private property would be somewhat excusable. ; But it ii not true. Ninety-nine times out of a a,. i ... 1 T . - - 1 ; h unci red these acts oi depreciation proceed irom ' diers are true to the cause in behalf of which hey are fighting? If so, they are either very ignorant or very inconsiderate, as well as wicked. For 1 they not only wantoniyainjure a leuow man dui oy , j these acts of destruction, disqualify their friends 1 a- on,e Iru,il coniriouuog- io me buj.pun, ui our 1 armies. Rob a fanner of his rjiE1. and ot course you prevent him from making bacon. Take away his horses and mules, and you pievent him iroin making a crop. Kill his cows and calves, and you deprive his family of & large part of their living, which must be made up from sources which but for that loss would have gone to support men fighting for our cause in the armies. Burn hU fences, and you deprive him and the country of whole fields of grain .t a single stroke. And yet, strange to tell, these things are done every day by Confederate soldiers, who would knock you down if you were to tell them they were not true to the cause they profess. If true, they are bad friends such .friends, indeed, as we might well pray to be delivered from. They are like a man who one day builds and the next applies the torch. Or like one who fills at the spigot hole and lets out at the bungiiolc. Or like a soldier who overloads his gun and kills himself iu firing at the enemy. In fine, he is an enemy to the country he professes to serve he is a rogue a miscreant a vile wretch that ought not to live in a christian coun try among patriots.- But the private soldiery who commit these deeds are not alone to blame. It is true they have no excuse; but there is a heavy responsibility resting on those officers in command of them who either tolerate or conn;?e at such mischievous actions. They are supposed to be generally men of better intelligence; and according to their positions arc the special conservators of the wellfare of the country and of the cause they are serving. How, then, can thpy permit these ruinous actions to be done by their tfoops without a prompt and vigor ous effort to discover the perpetrators of them in order that they tnny be punished! Such officers deserve to be hung. If Joshua had connived at Aehan's offense, then he had merited the fate of that offender, and it may be that the whole army of Israel had been destroyed. And unless these offenders in the Confederate army shall be purged out the prospects of our cause, it seems to us, n.ust continue to go from bad to worse, day by day. Salisbury Watchman. THE YANKEES IN FAYETTE VILLE. The Raleigh Confederate publishes some ex tracts from a letter from a lady io Fayetteville, narrating some of the pillaging and plundering transactions of Shcnnau's thieves and barbarians, while in Fayetteville. These statements are from an intelligent and accomplished lady, the daugh ter of a minister of the gospel, and will doubtless be read with much interest : Fayetteville, N. C, March 22, 18C5. Sherman has gone, and terrible has been the storm that has swept over us with his coming and going. . My head is dizzy, my heart is sick at what I have seen and felt in the last four day?. I feel like 1 naa just awakened lrom a dream ot impos- ! impos- i sible horrors a night-marc. 1 can hardly realize ! .1.... 1 ! 1 .1 . -1 1 i.iuk w uab us: iranpireu arounu us, was inaeca reality. They deliberately shot two of our citizens murdered them in cold blood one of them a Mr Murphy, a wounded soldier, O. S. A. They hung up three others and one lady, merely letting them down just in time to t-ave life, in order to make them titll where their valuables were concealed; and they whipped stripped and cowhided seve ral good and well known citizens, for the same purpose. There wes no place, no chamber, trunk, drawer, desk, closet, garret or cellar that was private to their unholy eyes. Their rude hands spared noth ing but our lives, and those they would have taken but they knew that therein they would only ac complish the death of a few helpless women and children they would not in the least degree break or bend the spirit of our people. Squad after squad unceasingly came and went and tramped through the halls and rooms of our house, day and night during the entire stay of the army. - Saf. : guards were placed around some houses, but that very guard would ransack the house and premises with a more merciless exactness, if possi ble, than any others. At nnr hon.cn ihnv killod every chicken, goose, turkey, cow, calf and every living thing, even to our pet dog. They carried off our wagons, carriage and horses, and broke up our buggy, wheel-barrow, garden implements, axes, hatchets, hammers, saws, &c., and burned the fences. Our smoke-house and pantry, that a few days ago were well stored with bacon, lard, flour, dried fruit, meal, pickles, preserves, etc., now contain nothing whatever except a few pounds of meal-and flour and five pounds of bacon. They took from old meu, women and children alike, every garment of wearing apparel save what we had on, not even sparing the napkins of infante! Blankets, sheets, ejuilts, etc., such as it did not suit them to take away, they tore to pieces before our eyes. Alter destroying everything we had, and taking from us every morsel of food, (save the pittance I have mentioned) on of these barbari ans had to add insult to injury by asking me "what you (I) would live upon now." I replied, "Upon . patriotism; I will exist upon the love of my country as long as life will last, and then I will die as firm in that love as the everlasting hills." "Oh," says he, "but we shall soon subjugate the rebellion, and you will have no country to love." "Never!" I interrupted, "never! you and your blood-banded countrymen may make the whole of this boautiful laud one vast grave-yard, but its people will never be subjugated. Every man, wo- u,an aR(J c5ii' us will sleep quietly in honora (Vila two rr r c? Knf irn ri?1 t t " t - r I - L 1 . ble graves, but we will never Jive dishonorable lives.' And he turned and left nae with a fiendish chuckle. They went to the house of Mr after it bad been stripped of nearly everything, and told him they should give him but ten minutes to save ! his furniture they should burn his house. H i ran up stairs to get down a bed and just S3 soon ' as he passed up they set fire to the stairway. He barely escaped with his life. I am more hapeful now than I have ever been before. I knote there is too much manhood in the spirit of the South to let these wholesale atrooi itws of. desolation go unavenged. Boys and wo- men will take up arms and die in line of battle be fore we will live in a Union with such in-fidels and inhuman monsters as these Yankees are ! THE YANKEES IN ANSON, N. C - , -From the Wadesboro Argus. About the 1st of this month the left wing of Sherman's army, (Kilpatrick's'cavalry.Y-Struck the southern part of this county, and from .the. 1st to . - i, . . - . , . , f tue 5th, all ithat portion of the county, in a line from Joel Horn s on the btanback ferry road through Wadesboro' to Lanesboro', was at their mercy. The heart sickens to look upon and con template the ruin they have left behind. The houses they visited, of the rich and poor alike, were pillaged of whatever provisions were about them; smoke houses were broken open and des poiled of their contents; corn cribs emptied, or where the corn was not removed, the buildings were fired and their conteots destroyed; fodder houses and fodder, mills, gin-houses and cotton screws, with large amounts of cotton, were burned in fact, the section of the country we have desig- nated was left a complete wreck. The dwelling bouse of Mr Jas Home and contents were burned to the ground. Dwellings were entered and searched for valuables, and if not found on the premises, the inmates were treated in the most brutal and inhuman maHner to make them reveal Where they were concealed Delicate females had loaded pistols pointed at their heads or breasts with threats of instant death or something worse if j they would not instantly deliver up their watches and other jewelry. In two instances citizens were murdered in cold blood Mr James C Bennett and Mr James Cottingham after they had been robbed of everything. Where they could not carry off. female and children's wearing apparel, beds and Uedding, they destroyed. All the horses and mules, even to colts, they could get their hands on were carried off; as also all the cattle they could find; fencing was burned or pulled down; and everything was done tbey could think of either to starve the. inhabitants or to prevent them from making crops in the future. Many planters lost all their best negro men, while others only lost a few. In some instances some of the negroes have returned. We cannot particularize or indi vidualize, as all Here more or less sufferers. In Wadesboro', their depredations were com paratively light to what they were in the lower portion of the county, where the main body of the cavalry were operating Their first appearance in town was on Friday, March 3, when we and sev eral others, as we have stated in another place, were made prisoners. Tho prisoners who were taken off, as well as the citizens who fell into their hands and were left behind by them, were robbed of their watches, and any other jewelry they had about them, as also of their pocket books. In most instances these last were given back with their contents, if they contained nothing but Con federate money. Boots and felt hats were made to be given up by their owners, who generally found their way home bareheaded and barefooted. Soon after this party left another catue in, from a different direction, which broke open the store houses and the tithing depot, throwing out. their contents to poor white people and negroes, who carried them off. Many of the articles carried off have been recovered by the owners; but the greater portion of be government tithes, consisting prin cipally of wheat and corn, will not probably be re covered. Private dwellings were entered by this party in "search of watches, jewelry and silver plate. Private drawers and trunks were ransacked by them, and if any of their contents suited the robbers' fancies they were carried off. Shirts were in demand by them. During Saturday the town was visited by several parties who continued the search for valuables left unfinished by the parties who preceded them. One of these parties fired the tan-vard of Messrs. Murr & Co., on thi south- side of towu, which, in a short while was "entirely consumed, and the machinery so badly injured as to be comparatively worthless. On Sunday the ! number of the unwelcome guests began to fall off. Xhey no doubt bad discovered that the main body f Ot our cavalry under Hampton and heeler was near the town and marching rapidly upon it. Be fore they entirely got off two of them were sur prised by some of Wheeler's advance scouts and one of the blue devils was killed just in front of the Masonic Hall. The encounter was witnessed by several of our citizens, particularly ladies. Some of them before they left fired the guard house in the rear of .the Court house as a parting token. Threats had been made by them to fire the whole town before tbey left; and no doubt they would have done it but for the opportune and sudden appearance of our cavalry. The main body j of our cavalry remained in and near town until quite late in the afternoon, when they moved on towards the river. On Monday, a small squad of our men, left here under Lieut. O'Neal, had a skirmish with a body of the enemy on the hill back of Wm. P. Kendall's residence, and succeeded in capturing nine of them. After this no more were seen near town, and their destruction of property in the county to some extent ceased, as they found our main cav alry force rather close to them to admit of their free operations. All Monday, as we were witnesses, the main porfion-of Kilpatrick's cavalry cowered lAtrn ti fi ii .f f Iwi t tt r La ii l-wj I 'egues, awaiting an opportunity to cross tho river. ESZT The first slave ship belonging to tho Amer ican colonists was fitted out in 1045 by a member of the Puritan Church in Boston. The first slaves of Europeans in America were the Indians; and the Puritan Governor (Win throp) of Massachusetts bequeathed his Soul to God and his Indian slaves to the lawful heirs of his body. . Confederate New England, in 1643, provided for the equitable division of lands, goods and per sons as equally a part of the "spoils" of war en acting the first fugitive slave law in America. On the 4th of July, 177&, every American Col- ' ony had become a slave State, and fhe number of slaves was tour nundreu ana ntty tnousana. - ma ture warred against the institution in the North ern State; otherwise, slavery would have existed there to this day. It was not profitable, and died; lingering in New York fill July 1827 The most of the slaves were transported and sold to the Seuth, and thus their owners were enabled to turn an honest penny, and to say to the South: "Be hold, we are purer and holier than thou!"
