per porch through the boys' room window. When ma found they were in the house she locked her room door. As we sat quietly awaiting our fate, still hoping that God--in whose care ma had in the beginning placed us, kneeling with us in earnest prayer — would yet save us, we heard them dancing, whooping, breaking, and plundering away over the house. At last the robbers scattered, carrying away every thing they could. Oh! what a sight the house was! Every thing scattered in confusion; dresses, broken parasols, boxes, etc., in one incongruous mass. They stole all my jewelry — they broke all of sister Emilie's pictures. All of the silver was taken. Nan (servant) was very much distressed at their taking the blankets. Papa was arrested at the big gate, and not allowed to come to the house to tell us any thing about it. He and seven others were kept in an open tent, exposed to the chill of night and hot sun through the day, and were then carried off to Louisville. --Richmond Examine

Unpolite Raiders. . . . We are informed that at Okolona, in Mississippi, the Yankees, led by Grierson, set fire to and destroyed a female institute in a spirit of wanton and devilish destruction. At Starksville, says a Southern paper, they took from the stores such articles as they desired. They visited most of the houses, appropriating watches, jewelry, and money. They stated there and at other places that this was but an advance-guard, but that in two or three weeks an army was coming that would make a clean sweep, and burn every house in Columbus. They captured a team and wagon-load of hats going from the factory to Columbus. The hats they distributed among the negroes who were with them, and took the team along with them. They compelled a great many negroes to go with them. . . . They took all the good horses and mules, money, jewelry, and silver ware they could find.

Henry and Charley (negro men) stood by us bravely, though the men were threatening their lives. Henry ran up once and took the keg of powder away from them, which they had over the candle, too drunk to know that, though they would have destroyed the house, they would have been the first to perish. Henry and Charley, who could talk a little Dutch, persuaded them, first one way and then another, not to break into the house, and got some to sleep in the cabin.
