The Robberies of the Yankees in Mississippi.

--A letter from a lady at Enterprise, Miss., gives a long account of the outrages of the Yankees who reached there under Sherman. We make an extract:

Mrs.--was grossly insulted. Mrs. D. was cursed blue; blue; but you must send her folks (down there) word — she is still alive. Mr. Taylor, her uncle, has not a second change, nor any of his family. I do not think you have any idea how bad the Yankees are. I thought I knew, but I did not know the half. They took old Mrs.--'s teeth, all her spoons and knives, and destroyed all provisions and corn that they could not use. Two army corps were here, with Gens. Hurlburt, McPherson, and Leggett. Mother has been sick ever since the Yankees left. How glad I am that I did not get sick. No one need want to be with the Yankees, even for a few days. They staid here from Sunday until Saturday morning, and it appeared like a month.
