A village Burnt by soldiers.

--A letter from Piketon to the Cincinnati Times says:

‘ that a party of Federal recently went into Letcher county, Ky., and killed a few Secessionist and captured mere. Thence they went to Gladesville, Va., and burned it. The letter says it ‘"had been the headquarters of Humphrey Marshall;"’ but whether this was or was not the reason for firing the village, said letter fails to state.
