The recent visit of Yankee troops to Essex county proved quite disastrous to the inhabitants. From Tappahannock and Layton's 1,325 negroes were taken, and, in fact, the country has been entirely stripped of its laboring population. Among the principal sufferers were Dr. Lawrence Roane, James Roy Micon, Mace Clements, and Mrs. Austin Brockenbrough.
