Burnt by the yankees

--A correspondent of the Bristol Gazette gives an account of the burning of a negro man in an out-house, by the Yankees, because he had the small-pox. The horrible affair occurred near Washington, Rhea county, about the 15th of November, and was perpetrated by some of Col. Lyon's Illinois regiment. The negro had been stolen by the Yankees from his master, and contracted the disease in their company, and this is the tender care he got at their hands.
