of the highest respectability, and support'd to be

the house of a friend eix miles South of C)aatc ,
some two week isgo. Some Yautre ofaoars hear
ing of her wealth and belli ving that be had gone
to the country for the purpose of hiding money,
went, ws'.h a gang of negrojn, to the house at
two o’rlock A. M., took her cut of bed and wh p
ped her until fix o’ci ck—lcur hour?—to mix?
her tell where her money cauitl be found. She
hud no money, and of coarse coaid not satisfy
the savages, The wretched lady died under the
torture oi the lash.
Some of the Mississippi soldiers, since the
above outrage has been committed, declare that
th°y will never not another Yunkee prisoner. Acts
like these will not only nerve our troops to daring
deeds of bravery, but will make them more -a
perate. The Fed?ral barbarians will find that
their savage cruelty will recoil on their own
heads.
Government Cotton in Mississippi.— Since ih !

-Ths Hostaob OrticsHS.—fp resprnso to the
announcement that Gen. Wm. H F. Lie ana
Capt. Winder havo been place- in confinement at
Old Point as cottages for the two Yankee officers,
Flynn and Sawyer, condemned to by the
Confederate antborities, our commissioner hag
informed the Fodei 1 Government that ths Con
federate Government will net be intimidated by
ar.y such threats, and that ths ex c c.f< ij of said
oflicire will take place aa soon as the I’reaident
may see fit. The iSnqoirer, from which paper we
obtain the foregoing fee's, adds :
!t is hoped t’cat the Executive wi ! sic fit to
give the order for »xscuPon imme-ffatelv ; uud as
we have now over five hundred Federal officers
in cur hand?, besides gome five or e x thousand
privates, it is in the power of the government to
curry retaliation to a very bitter extreme. The
people call f.»r the dc-a .i» of those two Yankee' - ,
and it is useless te delay then death iwy iopgor.”
