Yankee Vandalism.
We gave several days ago some deeply interesting statements of the outrages of the enemy in Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
In addition to those statements we have certified copies of two original letters from Gen. Herron, the Yankee commander at Perle Grove, Ark, to Capt. M. D. Bert an Arkansas " jay-hawker," directing him to take no prisoners and to burn a town.
The following is the first letter:
Headquarters 20 and 3d Divisions.army of the Frontier, Dec, 17, better barn that place.
If you can get ingrain alive send him to me. Respectfully, F. J. Herron, Brigadier General Com'g.
Captain Hall
The second letter is three days later, and directs "if possible, to completely destroy" the "lands infesting that country." "Don't show any away to bush whickers" says he. There letters are directly from an official source in Arkansas.
The originals were found on Capt. Hart's person when captured.
And he was forthwith charged by captors.
