Excesses of the Federal troops.

--A correspondent of the Philadelphia' Inquirer writes:

‘ There is no doubt that some of our soldiers committed great excesses, both at Fairfax and Centerville. Not only were houses burned down, but furniture, pictures and mirrors were destroyed. This is the result of the teachings of those abolition newspapers which promised all the soldiers a farm in Virginia, and of those Congressmen who practically assert in their speeches that slaveholders, whether Union men or Secessionists, have no rights which the army is bound to respect.
