Two letters, forming part of a correspondence between the Yankee General Kilpatrick and the Confederate General Wheeler. have been published in the Yankee papers. Wheeler, it seems, had appealed to Kilpatrick, by the ties of ancient acquaintance, to spare the unhappy families who came within the line of his march as far as possible. Kilpatrick's answer is characteristic in a high degree. He tells Wheeler that, according to the statement of Governor Brown, his own (Wheeler's) soldiers have been in the habit of depredating upon the families of Georgia, and that he cannot expect his (Kilpatrick's) men to behave any better, being avowed enemies. In the opinion of this Yankee General, then, two wrongs make a right, and because a man has been cuffed by a friend, an enemy has a perfect right to murder him outright. The morality of this conclusion is peculiarly Yankee, and such as was to have been expected from a Yankee general. Because a Confederate regiment burns a citizen's fe

Yankees have sought to do that which they have become aware they cannot do by fair fighting. We know of no man so well qualified to lecture on the horrors of war as a Yankee brigand transformed into a major-general.

24th (search for this): article 3
Our Wilmington correspondent states that an English officer who was with Sir Charles Napier in the Baltic, and who was also at Sebastopol, says that the fire of the Federal fleet upon Fort Fisher on the 24th ultimo exceeded anything he had ever seen. But fearful as this bombardment was, it was a mere prelude to the infernal fire of Christmas day.--From ten in the morning till six in the evening, there was "such a rain of shot and shell as never before fell upon any spot of earth since gunpowder was invented." And yet the fort remained uninjured, and not a dozen men were killed. Colonel Lamb and his brave garrison have covered themselves with immortal renown; the former not more by the heroical fortitude of his defence than by the signal forethought, judgment and energy by which he was prepared for the terrific collision. If all our fortifications had been in such hands, the Confederacy would be spared many a humiliating page in its history. If anything is now clearly d
