The Daily Dispatch: March 11, 1864., [Electronic resource], The Robberies of the Yankees in Mississippi. (search)
The Robberies of the Yankees in Mississippi. --A letter from a lady at Enterprise, Miss., gives a long account of the outrages of the Yankees who reached there under Sherman. We make an extract: Mrs.--was grossly insulted. Mrs. D. was cursed blue; blue; but you must send her folks (down there) word — she is still alive. Mr. Taylor, her uncle, has not a second change, nor any of his family. I do not think you have any idea how bad the Yankees are. I thought I knew, but I did not know the half. They took old Mrs.--'s teeth, all her spoons and knives, and destroyed all provisions and corn that they could not use. Two army corps were here, with Gens. Hurlburt, McPherson, and Leggett. Mother has been sick ever since the Yankees left. How glad I am that I did not get sick. No one need want to be with the Yankees, even for a few days. They staid here from Sunday until Saturday morning, and it appeared like a month.

Gen. Sherman, then, is striking into the very heart of the negro and cotton and corn region of Alabama, and the consequences, with or without any fighting must be exceedingly disastrous to the rebel cause. The objects of t0 or $13,000. There were others who would look to the passage of this bill, hoping for the same thing themselves.

in computation. Paper money won't fight. There is very little personal danger to be apprehended from a bank note, and there is no case on record of a man having been bayonetted by a $1 bill. The new draft, which commenced in the Yankee States yesterday, will result as all the others have. The $300 commutation clause is still in force, and the green backs will pour in. The disastrous defeat of Gillmore in Florida, the rout of Grierson and Smith in Mississippi, the disgraceful failure of Sherman's advance on Mobile, the repulse of the last "on to Richmond," and the general gloom thrown over the Yankee prospects by these occurrences, will not encourage going into the ranks. The commutation might be advanced to $600, and it would be cheerfully paid. With our strengthened armies in the field, let our people take courage and do all in their power to sustain them in comfort. The stage is cleared. The curtain is slowly rising on the spring campaign. Already we see the shining sandal

The junction of this cavalry force with Sherman at Meridian, was the key of the whole scheme of the Yankee plan for the occupation and subjugation of the Southwest. If successful, Sherman would have been in a condition to advance upon Demopolis and Selma, or Mobile; and these important pois force, which was already greatly exhausted by the continual skirmishing with Sherman's column. Forrest was, therefore, left alone with his 2,400 men to perferged from their fortifications. As soon as the news of this disaster reached Sherman he began his retrograde movement towards the Mississippi. Lee following him ud them down again. To increase this feeling of mortification and disgust, Sherman's conscience was burdened with a load of infamy which, even upon a Yankee Gene and hospitality from the Southern people, during his residence in Louisiana. Sherman has, by the license extended to his brutal hirelings, in their march through M
