Vandalism. --The Fredericksburg Herald, alluding to the destruction of the house of Dr. Abraham Hooe, below Mathias' Point, by the Federal scoundrels, says: This residence has been in the Hooe family for many generations. It was respected by the enemy during the Revolution, and during the war of 1812.

Contemptible Villiany. --A correspondent of the New York Herald furnishes the subjoined. We presume that Dr. Hooe is the gentleman whom the invaders call Dr. Howe: Lieut. Budd, commanding the Resolute, of the flying flotilla, proceeded on Tuesday last to Howe's landing. After firing several shots from rifled cannon to satisfy himself that it was safe to go on shore, he landed and proceeded to an extensive dwelling house belonging to Dr. Howe. As the doctor was suspected of having been instrumental in burning the schooner Christiana Keene, Lieut. Budd was determined to set fire to his homestead. On entering the house, several trunks were seen packed up ready for removal, and there were several indications of a recent stampede, and that some of the fugitives were females. The house was very richly furnished, and contained a valuable library, all of which fell a prey to the flames. Lt. Budd took prisoner a young negro man the body servant of Dr. Howe, who stated that the
