Barbarity of the enemy in Louisiana.
--
Hon Albert Duffel, a Judge of the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, died suddenly in
Ascension Parish, in that State, on the 1st inst. A letter says:
‘
The
Yankees were that day in possession of Dillie, so we took the body to a burial ground ten miles down the Bayon, but when there we received a message stating that we would be allowed to bury the body in the family vault in Dillie.
The body was taken back, and whilst the funeral cortege was entering Dillie under a permit of
Col. McMillan, of the 21st Indiana regiment, it was fired upon six times by the gunboats, every ball passing just over the carriages in which ladies and children wire.
