Yankee Love for the negro.

Several days since, the Yankees in Winchester went to the house of a gentleman who is now in this city and took from the service of his family three negro girls, who were attached to and desired to remain with their rightful owners. So great was their objection to leaving those who had eared for and protected them, that they endeavored to conceal themselves from the Yankee thieves, but on being found were carried off. In a day or two they all returned, having been sent back by their inhuman captors. One of them had been terribly beaten by the wretches, because of the exhibition of an attachment for the family with whom she had been raised.
