As stated in this paper Saturday, the
Yankees made a raid into
Woodstock, Shenandoah county, on Sunday afternoon last.
The first of the party that came in were dressed in the
Confederate uniform.
They rode in very leisurely, whistling unconcernedly, so as to excite no alarm.
They drew up in front of Nebb's hotel, and fired several pistol shots into a party of gentlemen sitting at the door, wounding in the jaw
Mr. John Morris, of
Winchester, a negro trader.
They carried off
Dr. Krebs,
John Morris, (whom they had slightly wounded,) one of
Dr. Magruder's sons, and a son of
Mr. Harrison Ott Messrs. Krebs,
Magruder, and
Ott, were the only citizens of
Woodstock taken off. They stole about 40 boxes of tobacco, a box of
adamantine candles, (which they strewed in the streets of
Woodstock,) silver spoons, knives and forks, and some clothing from
Col. Albert; took ten horses from
Mr. Nebb's stable; broke into
Mr. B. Smith's drug store, took what they wanted, and stole all his bacon; broke into Travel &
Coffman's store, carried off some cotton cloth, destroyed nearly everything in the store and strewed a sack of salt in the street, and wound up their magnificent effort to make the people of
Woodstock deeply regret their retirement from the late "glorious Union" with them by taking a number of overcoats from Nebb's hotel.
They returned down the
Valley on the same night.
On Friday night week the
Yankees came to
Jonesville, Lee county, Va., from the
Gap, and committed all sorts of depredations.
They burnt the Academy and Masonic Hall, set fire to a church, and stole all the horses, cattle, grain, and negroes, they could find.
