A Yankee raid. --The following is an extract of a letter from Camden county, North Carolina, dated August 24, 1864: "The Yankees have just made a raid out here, committing the most fiendish acts of cruelty upon the people. They were not satisfied with subsisting upon the people, carrying off horses, &c., but they burned some fifteen or twenty houses, turning the defenceless families out of doors, with a total loss of furniture and clothing. Many of the ladies, having secured their money and jewelry about their persons, were seized and forcibly held and robbed. Some of the citizens were badly beaten for trying to defend their wives from insult.
