At Mr. West's they unluckily found a uniform coat; upon which, they held him a close prisoner and sent off his two daughters, grown women, to the fort as "hostages" for his "good behavior." Nothing, was alleged against them; but it was the simple arbitrary act of Lincoln's hell-hounds, who in this, though in violation of law and civilized usage, as in all their proceedings, but followed the example of the lawless old tyrant, their Master. From Mr. West's they passed over to the farm of Wm. Lee, which had on it one of the finest crops of wheat in the county, besides other valuable products. This they completely devastated, as they had done the farms we have already mentioned. In short, they continued the work of ruthless and reckless destruction on every farm fronting Hampton Roads, from Newport News to Hampton, committing every species of atrocity and outraging the persons of negro women, girls, and even female children, in a manner too inhuman and revolting to dwell upon.

nst the same person for an assault upon Young Newby, and the load being more than he could carry, he was committed. John Henry Cooke was arraigned upon a charge of assaulting and beating his wife, Mary Ann. Domestic discipline must be enforced in these times, when it is all important that peace should reign within our borders; but there is no excuse for resorting to blows, when a firm yet mild demeanor will accomplish the same purpose. Mr. Cooke was committed in default of surety for his good behavior. Frank Winga and A. Drugget, charged with threatening to assault Hugo Joseph and Joseph A. Chaventnear, were required to give security to keep the peace, and we believe they complied with the terms. The following fines were imposed for violations of the ordinance requiring bar-rooms to be kept closed on the Sabbath. John O'Neal $5; J. Hogan, $5; E. Francis, $5; Maurice Dennis, $20; and Henry Beekman, $5. Wm. Lee was fined $2 for depositing ashes in a public alley.

which it seems to have fallen, and to prepare it for new enterprises. We may be assured that the whole Yankee press will join in this endeavor, and that it will be successful. In a fortnight universal Yankeedom will believe that the defeat at Fredericksburg, like the defeat at Sharpsburg, was a great triumph, Burnside has already given the hint for the manner in which this belief is to be wrought up by saying that he occupied a part of the battle ground, and that he waited two days for Lee, who did not venture to attack him. Slight as this hint may seem, it will be sufficient for the object in view; for there never existed upon earth a nation so ford of being cheated at the Yankees or so desirous to be regarded as — what nature never destined them to be — a great military people. The New York Herald, well understanding their temper, repres the late vaid and repulse of their troops to North Carolina as so many splendid victorian, declaring that they are of importance enough to
