Vandalism.

--The Fredericksburg Herald, alluding to the destruction of the house of Dr. Abraham Hooe, below Mathias' Point, by the Federal scoundrels, says:

‘ This residence has been in the Hooe family for many generations. It was respected by the enemy during the Revolution, and during the war of 1812. Although the British had it in their power to burn it down, yet they proved their magnanimity by allowing it to stand unharmed. It was left for these brethren of ours; these members, until a recent period, of a common Government, to turn their vandal hands upon private property.
