There was, at this time, about 30 of Baxter's Battalion in town, about 15 of them were quickly feeding their horses and getting supper at their barracks on Main street, the balance were scattered over town. At the first alarm these 16 men got in line in front of the Franklin Hotel, Capt. Baker (Baxter being absent) telling them to gland flour — that it took more than one Yankee to stampedes his men. The advance guard of the Yankees, about sixty men, charged upon those sixteen men; our boys gave a yell and galloped so meet them; the Finks turned and fled as last as their horses could carry them. Our boys pursued them back a mile, until they met the main body of the enemy, consisting of the 10th Missouri, 5th Ohio, two battalions of Illinois, one company of Mississippi, and one

To our inexpressible relief the scoundrels left town on Wednesday afternoon, taking with them about fifty bales of cotton all the mules and horses they could find, and as many negroes as they could force off, about sixty in all. They took the plantation teams to haul their cotton. Owing

Now these things were not the work of a few; all were at it. Col. Cornyn, upon being remonstrated with for allowing such things, replied: "I don't care a dame what my men do."

Below we give our readers an account of the vandalism and savage brutality of the Yankees at the time the gunboats came up to Florence, Ala., which was announced by telegraph some days ago. The account is from the pen of the editor of the North Alabamian published at Tuscumbia. His office was destroyed by them: Tuscumbia, Ala., Feb. 18 1863. Early Sunday morning, the 22d inst., five Yankee gunboats came up Tennessee river. They did not land at Tuscumbia landing, but proceeded on up to Florence. Here two of them landed and destroyed the ferry-boat; the other three went on up to Bainbridge, at the foot of the Muscle Shoals and destroyed the ferry boat at that place. The C. S. steamer Dunber had been lying at Bainbridge for some time but had taken advantage of the high water and gone over the shoals, where the gunboats could not follow. About three o'clock the gunboats all went down the river, without making any attempt to la
