Yankee Outrages in Shenandoah.

--The Lynchburg Republican publishes a letter which states that, on Wednesday of last week, about five hundred Yankee cavalry made a said upon the town of Woodstock, in Shenandoah county. They arrested a citizen of the town, affair. Welch, and took him off with them as a prisoner. They also plundered many private dwellings, broke open meat and corn-houses, and robbed them of their contents, and carried off several negroes and a number of horses. During their march they deliberately shot down three citizens living on Cedar creek, some five or six miles distant from the town, for no reason that they could give but that their victims were "A — d secesh scoundrels," to use their own elegant language. The ladies of the town were insulted and abused in all conceivable terms of brutality by these vandals, and in some instances personal violence was only prevented by the determined and fearless bearing of these unprotected objects of their diabolical abuse and insults. They staid in the town only a few hours, and returned, towards Winchester, taking with them a large quantity of all kinds of plunder.
