There are few of its citizens whom the State could have spared so illy.

His public record will bear the closest scr

Some of the lots were almost stripped; those who suffered most were Dr. Southall and G. R. Atkinson.--The General took possession of Mr. Barrett's residence; the provost marshal quartered on Morrisson, and other officers forced themselves on other private families — while the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, and nearlyt have been omitted on this expedition, as the troops behaved very quietly during the night — only a few smoke houses, hen-roosts and bee hives being robbed.

A part of the negroes also forced Mrs. W. H Stephenson to open her husband's store which they robbed of goods am
