benefit, can never look at a decent house without feeling a desire to rifle it — to turn it inside out and possess themselves of the cream of it. So that it is not improbable that the Yankees who are now gutting Southern houses will carry their occupations home with them, and at some day to come show to their own people their wonderful skill in this line! We are not surprised to see that some "returned soldiers," a few days since, practiced their art upon the poor negroes of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania! The accounts given in the Yankee papers say that they "gutted houses for squares in the negro quarter!" and "nearly all the negro huts were demolished and their furniture taken away!"

What phase of the war so grateful to hi

"A troop of cut-throat guards were sent to seize The rich men's goods, and gut their palaces" Dryden This definition applies forcibly to the Yankee practice in this war, in the matter of houses.
