with the news that there was tire in dilTer. in
parts of the town, and that a company ol our men
were at the corner firing on the iiontoon bridgi-
Though the boinbarJinent had ceased, the inus
ketry sounded tolu}’ ears yet more iiwtul, lor 1
knew they were fi.irhting in Ihi; .-tro. ts. .My c.ir

glee—“litre arc the rebels! lute are the d — d
rebel si tire, boys.' lire."’ Two d read hi 1 crie.s re ml
the air—our gallant Capt. (’ook is killed at our
corner. To hear th« tiendi.sh cry of the enemy
unnerved me more than the explosion id the
thousands of ahell that burst around us.
All being now tjuiet for a time, we lie down,
but not to sleep; for, harki they tu’c breaking into
houses like .so many demons. With terrihle lore.'
they throw themselves agaiiist our door.^, back
and front, but ;ln otfiecr ' Yankee thoiitrh he
wa.s,) saved us. We hear them break into youi
house, but dare not utter a word, le.st (hey slay
us. OhI who can tell the horiS:irs ol that night''
* Tht;y order my father out, deehire that
he has wine in his cellar, Aic. lie as.suros them
he has only liis unollending wife and pight c'hil
dren tluire.
Thus pa.sses the night, the lire still raging
About S o’elsek the tlamci; btirst forth in our vi
einity, .and we expect every moment to find our
own rool on fire. In the midst of the exeitemeiil
a soldier ru.shed in with his l|ay>net, ivhieh he
pointed at my father’s breitst ai(l ordered him tri
follow liini. Aly father asked why!' but the man
ner in which he repeated the ordor eonviuccd
him that lie must follow or die. This occurred
in the back poich; 1 was at that time in the front
porch watching the tjiarks and expecting our house
every moment to take tire. They carried father to
heudijuarters, and after accu^ng hipi of tiring on
them from his house, he was released, the officer
b?fore whom he was arraigned reading a lie in
the face of the accuser, and iiuiocenee in that of
the accused. While he was gone, soldiers catm
to me at the front door, and to mother behind,
and assured us that the house was on lire, but
meh wa.s not the ca.se. The trick did not suect ed,
nor did the storv alford them the opportunity they
sought, to rob the house.
The next day every unoccupied house was plun
dered and every piece ol furniture destroyel. 1 n
o^der to save your furniture We told aunt Clara to
i.iove intt your house, which 5she did. You would
have had nothing left but for this. The ttrst night
they took a crock of lard, and ate up your pre
serves and pickles Vour candles, also, they made
way with, but we do not know of anything else.
They pulled everything out of your drawers and
trunks, bur.st open clo.sets, etc. No shell went
through your house, and if you .saw tbe sutlerings
of most of the people you would thiuk you had
indeed fared well. Mr. A. has lost everything—
his store, furniture, etc.; his house is riddled with
shell and his wife and child with nothing to wear
but what they have on. Hundreds are in the
saMie situation. As shell were being'thrown by
our men on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Mon
day, we spent each of those days chiefly in the
cellar, as well as Thursday; thu.*! fu > days in all
Mary Price, a black woman, was killed by a
shell—cut {uite in two. She had gotten for pro
tection, under a bed in a ro?)m through which a
.--hell passed I saw her on W.cdn«sday. She
had been killed tht; iireviotJi,s 'I'hursday, but tiu re
was no one to bury b«r. ' Kvery house not
inhabited has been .sacked and ruined insi'le.
They committed every sjiecies of outrage.
Ynitkt’c Ridf ill’ \\> stern \ irtjiina. — (Jfliiia/
l)(K ii7ni iits.—.Thnmgh a gentlisniaii ju-f .from
We.stern Virginia we have some interesting and
authentic accounts of the condition of affairs in
that unfortunate portiorr ol our State. Milroy,
who is in command with a force of some live thou
sand, at Tetersburg, in Hardy county, has inau
gurated a .'jystem of terrorism thryugh the coun
try, ami is hunting down the people like wihi
beasts Kvery joad ami mauntain pass, every
avenut' of escape is guarded* in order that he m;iy
the better exert his fury upon a weak, and de
fenceless people. The narrative we have from
our informant gives a pietUBe evep worse thjin in
Austria in her darkest days. An edict Jias go^e
forth from Milroy that all persons, men and wo
men, sh:dl take the oath of aHegiance to the Pied
mont (Jo'vt, under penalty ol s5eizure !ind forfeit
ure of therr projH'rty, und until they do .so, tlit'y
shall not be allowed t/) go beyond the shrtdow ol
their doors, and isust nofe be p*t after ly o'clock*
} As an instance of hqw. this oath is e.^torti d and
] wrung from the people, our iiWormant mcntlon.-
j the ea.se of a poor old widow over seventy year.-
I old. (topics i)i the oath hikving been distributoil
I through the town, and the day ap|(oiwtj*il for its
I administering, the poor old lady, fearing the loss
1 of all .she* possessed in the world, tho'tij*h over
I three score years and ten, came wjth tottering
! step to the place anf time .appointed,- when on
! the officer holdink the liible to swear her,
i the old woman piteously plead that she might be
e^t;use’d> as she «ould not with conscience take
I the o^fh. Scarcely .had th«se words fallen from
her lips than the ruffian offiaor rudely thjust her
aside, with the profane exclamation#—‘‘Then, you
^ d—d old rebel, you can starvel’’ ,•
To evade the oath of aHexiance, many parties,
finding their escape impossible with cv ;ry road
picketed, ha4 oflFered td saccrifice t*lieir jjroperty
and homes if Milroy would only all*w them to
