Burning our towns.

Some of the Yankee journals are endeavoring to deny that Elizabeth City was burned by its own people. They do not relish the evidence of determination and self-sacrificing patriotism which such acts exhibit. They will have an opportunity to test the devotion of the South on a still larger scale as they push forward their internal raid. The land will be burned into a Wilderness and the cities into before they shall pass into the hand of there robbers and murderers.
