p a great nation about a parcel of African savages, if we had known any other way to protect our rights; but now, since the Yankees have treated us so abominably, burning and plundering our country and bringing a gang of negro soldiers here to insult us, I don't see how anybody can tolerate the sight of their odious old flag again. To do father justice, our house is so far from the street that he couldn't see the plunder with which the wretches, both black and white, were loaded, but Cousin Mary Cooper, who lives right on the street, opposite our gate, told us that she saw one white man with a silver cake basket tied to the pommel of his saddle, and nearly all of them had stolen articles dangling from the front of their saddles, or slung on in bags behind. And yet, they blame us for not respecting their flag, when we see it again for the first time in four years, floating over scenes like this! A large body of the brigands are camped back of Aunty's meadow, and have actually thr

etting the money. Capt. Cooley has established a camp in Cousin Will Pope's grove, and the white tents would look very picturesque there under the trees, if we didn't know they belonged to the Yankees. Our house is between their camp and the square, so that they are passing our street gate at all hours. We cannot walk in any direction without meeting them. They have established a negro brothel, or rather a colony of them, on the green right in front of our street gate and between Cousin Mary Cooper's and Mrs. Margaret Jones's homes. Whenever Mett and I walk out in company with any of our rebel soldier boys, we are liable to have our eyes greeted with the sight of our conquerors escorting their negro mistresses. They even have the insolence to walk arm in arm with negro women in our grove, and at night, when we are sitting on the piazza, we can hear them singing and laughing at their detestable orgies. This establishment is the greatest insult to public decency I ever heard of

Larceny. --John, a slave, was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, on a charge of stealing a piece of calico from his master, Joseph Rosenbaum. As John acknowledged the theft, but little time was occupied in disposing of his case, and he was sentenced to thirty lashes. The calico was left with Mary Cooper, a free negro woman, living in the basement of Ann Stevenson's house, in "Solitude," and she was punished for receiving the stolen goods. Virginia Turner and Harriet Hellum, two white women boarding with Ann Stevenson, were also up on the charge of receiving the calico, but the evidence being insufficient, they were set at liberty.
