Fortress Monroe (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 5
another correspondent: Hampton,Va., June 6, 1861. About once a week I get a sight of your sprightly little sheet. In several numbers you say, "send us the news" As this vicinity is now, and likely to continue to be, a theatre of the war, and, as some very extravagant reports of what is going on here have been circulated, I thought I would send you a few unvarnished facts, from which your readers may make their own inferences. Hampton is about 2½ miles by road from Fortress Monroe--in an air-line, probably a mile less; and about 8 miles by road from Newport News, and 5 by water — being between these two points. The population is about 2,000. We have had frequent rumors of a contemplated attack on our little town by the Federal troops since the war began, but none has ever been made, nor is the town, in a military point of view, worth the trouble of taking There had been no appearance of a hostile demonstration till Thursday, the 23d ult., when a regiment un

Last week a body of troops marched from this place to Bethel Meeting House, about ten miles distant, towards Yorktown, and returned. On their return they were met by a party of a gentleman and three or four ladies, in a carriage. The officers stopped and spoke very politely tor, are now being checked by something a little more substantial and effective than paper proclamations. As most of our military force is necessarily occupied at Yorktown, some citizens are organizing guerilla parties. They have already killed four., and wounded and taken about a half dozen prisoners.

Some of the Federal troops have committed excesses; but it has been stopped. Now the colored population have begun, and if not stopped soon, the town will be ruined. Houses and stores are broken open every night. Peaceable citizens not bearing armswill not be molested by the Federal troops.

Duryea to make a statement of his grievance, and had the satisfaction of an assurance that if he would point out the guilty parties they should be severely punished !! To show that these depredations are at least connived at by superior officers, Col. J. found one of his mirrors in the quarters of Col. Carr. Did not the Colonel know that thatmirror was stolen. and is not the receiver as bad as the thief? The case of a poor widow, (Mrs. Gates.) whose husband was a Captain in the U. S. Army, and who has been receiving a pension from the Government, is peculiarly trying.--The vandals stole or destroyed everything she had — the carpets, bed, chairs, tables, &c., all were taken off by these gallant defenders of public property. Though I have heard of no case of personal violence offered to a female, yet our ladies have been grossly insulted by being told that their husbands were Secessionists, and would be hanged as soon as they c
