The Plunderings, Robberies, Outrages
and Atrocities of the Ysukees In Middle
Tennessee.
Middle TttNSKsait*, June 2, 1882
J/ej«r* Editors:
In your paper of tbe 31st ult., you publish
the proceedings of the Federal convention
held at Nashville on the 12th ult. The reso
lutions, it seems, wero adopted without & dis
senting voice, and therefore have the sanc
tion of Governor Wm. B. Campbell, Jordon
Stokes, Ednund Cooper, (who perhaps wrote
them,) and other Tennesseoens. Among oth
er strango things in those proceedings, noth
ing has so shocked those who have read them
as the 4th resolution : “that the forbearance,
moderation and gentlemanly deportment of
the officers and soldiers of the FederaJ army,
since their occupation of Tennessee, chal
lenge our highest admiration.”
Now, to the true Tennesseean who looks
over the desolation of Davidson, Sumner,
Ruthe’ford, Wilson, Bedford, Murray, Lin
coln, Giles, Franklin and Williamson coun
ties, caused by the occupation of the Feder
al*, while the blood boils with rage, it is sick
ening to the heart that Campbell, Stokes,
and Cooper, who ought to be the friends of
Tennessee and Tennessee people, would so
far degrade their mauhood as to openly in
dorse or silently acquiesce in such an infa
mous resolution, though a million of Dutch
bayonets were drawn against their native
State.
There is not one of the above named coun
ties, as well as many others, in which there
has not boea the most open and wanton de
struction of property ; not one in which our
lovely women have not been insulted and
private citizens arrested and imprisoned
without being notified of the charges against
them; and everywhere private dwellings
have boon entered in the rudest and most in
sulting manner.
Take, for instance, the oooupation of Win
chester by Gen. Mitchsll’s forces under Gen.
Lytle, which continued only for a few days,
but in its details (outside of other incidents
of this war; has no parallel in civilised war
fare. The Law of Nations protects private
property even in war, as well as the per
sons of those not engaged, and this rule has
been generally observed by all tbe civilized
nations of Europe. The town of Winchester
made no resistance oi course, having no
troops; but immediately upon entering tbe
town the Federals broke open the store of
Messrs. H&udley in open daylight, and took
off all the goods of value, about $1,000 worth.
They demanded the key of Messrs. Embrey,
and eutered their store house and took away
and destroyed most of their goods, amount
ing to several hundred dollars. They enter
ed A. Jordon’s store and took about $200
worth of goods. They served many others
the same way. Most of these goods were ta
ken to headquarters at the houBe of Mr. Mc-
Gahee, where the officers stayed. They en
tered the house of Mrs. Oscar, a widow lady,
and took $750 in cash. They took from Jas.
Scott, at the house of Ross B. Cowan, $1,100
in gold. They took from John W. Custer
$2,500 in money. They demanded the key to
the safe of A. S. Colyar from his lady, and
searched the safe for money. This was done
by an officer, who announced hia purpose in
searching, and expressed great regret at find
ing no money. This same officer took from
the office 12 law books, and attempted to take
L safe. They entered the offices of the coun-
y j^n^circuit court clerks, and battered the
Until they cannot be opened at all—at
least, one of them cannot. They opened the
desks and took the papers of the officers from
their files extending back fifty years, and
tore them into atoms, leaving both rooms
half leg deep in torn and tattered records.—
They indiscriminately entered private dwell
ings. taking whatever they could fin J—going
to the houso of Dr. Wallace Estell, a man 70
years old, but who was a surgeon in the ar
my, and noted for the kind manner in which
he dressed the wounds ol prisoners after the
battle of Manassus, r^sVj fl g no distinction
between them and our own wounded—and
finding none of the white family but his
three daughters. They cursed and insulted
them until they lt !t, even attempting to taka
their horses out of the;r carriage after the
young ladies hau started away. Atthil place
they net only took all the bacon and other
provisions on hand, but they took all the
clothing of every kind, one of the officers
making a saddle-blanket of a fine silk dress.
They then broke up and destroyed nearly
all the furniture ; and after taking their hor
ses on the porch and defacing the house most
shamefully, they left, not, however, without
trying to persuade the servants to leave and
become free.
A great number of horses were taken from
the neighborhood, many of which they tried
to sell furmioney before leaving. Among other
horses taken was a fine Arabian Stallion, ta-
aen from the farm of Mr. A. 8. Colyar. Sev
eral of the citisens appealed to the oScer a
about this horse, telling them that he had
been imported at great expense, and that the
whole country was interested in him ; but it
all did no good; he was ridden off by one of
the officers—Major Pugh.
In some instances when appeals were made,
offieers would place a guard at the houses of
citisens; but t> show what this meant, it is
only necessary to mention one instance: —
Mrs. Colyar succeeded in gettiug a guard for
her premises While he was there 8 line sol
diers came and were about to take her fine
buggy mare out of the stable. At her fn-
stanca the guard prevented it. In a few
hours this guard wes removed and another
sent in his place, and then again they came
to take the mare off. The guard was asked
to interfere, but his reply was that he was
speciaily instructed to guard nothing bu: the
dwelling house, and the mare was taken.—
Seven or eight negro men were taken off,
some oi which were ordered from their mas
ter’s premises. While one set was at the
house of Mrs. A. J. Biird, taking her silver
spoon, another set was taking the bootsl rom
a negro’s fact on the public tquare.
I have been thus particular in enumerat
ing s^tne of the cases of out-age, so that
Messrs. Campbell, Stokes and Cooper, as well
as others, can make a further investigation
if they want to know the truth. In no case,
did a man’s antecedents have anything to do
with their course towards him; bat in every
instance if the plea was put up that the man
had taken no part in tbe war, and done no
thing, the reply was that he was a d d
coward, and they did not think any more of
him for that; and now so far as that commu
nity is concerned, there isn’t a man or woman
Who doesn't say let the last man be wiped
out, and let our country be made the laud of
desolation, rather than be subjugated by such
fiends. We never knew what this revolution
was before. Wo never fully comprehended
the term subjugation, Wo know now what
it would be, and all that is necessary to make
us a free people is, that we 6houid generally
have a foretasta of that which challenges the
adm ration of Messrs. Campbell, Stokes and
Cooper. Then our people will rise in their
majesty and tho revolution will have worked
out its legitimate results.
I close by repeating, that there is no par
allel in civilized warfare; for while even
among civilized people tho invader has bean
allowed to take supplies, generally paying
lor them when taken from private citizens
(which the Federals never think of doing;)
yet there is no instance, except among bar
barians, when there has been a general tak
ing and wanton destruction of private pro
property. G. A. B.

The Lick District of Georgia and Ala
bama.
Ede. Confederacy:—Having recently visi
ted Rome and its vicinity in search of Salt
Springs, I would submit the following con
clusions, to allay excitement and to prevent
an unnecessary expenditure of money in
farther exploration:
I visited a considerable scope of country
in the neighborhood of Rome, and spent sev
eral days in riding over this section and
■inking wells. From this personal exami
nation and from inquiries, it seems there is
a belt of country extending through pertione
of Gordon, Chattooga, and Floyd counties,
Georgia, and Cherokee and Blount counties,
Ala., which may be appropriately named the
“Lick District” of Georgia and Alabama.
It is about 100 miles in length and 10 to 15
in breadth ; the central line of it running
through what is called the “Flat Woods,”
with arms running up between tbe mountain
ridges. The whole is covered with a strat
um of yellowish clay from 1 to 10 feet deep,
resting on beds of limestone and rotten slate.
In this bed of clay oocur numerous “Licks”
—probably 100 or more, scattered at inter
vals of five to ten miles, but sometimes in
groups of three o’- four together. They
were daily vUited by deer 10 to -0 years
ago, bat since they have been thinned out
and the settle have been regularly salted,
the “Licks ” have been neglected and over
grown. Since scarcity of salt, however, the
cattle have begun to frequent them, and, at
many places, have scooped out the earth
with the greatest avidity. This has at"
traded the notice of the citizens, and several
individuals have boiled down water from ex
cavations at the Licks and obtained what is
reputed to be salt.
I visited four of these “ Licks ” in the
eastern part of Chattooga county ; and the
neighbors, though pressed with their crops,
cheerfully and gratuitously sunk two wells
through the bed of clay and two or three
feet into the underlying slate. The earth
had a slight taste of alum, which entirely
disappeared when we left the clay and struck
iato tbe slate. I saw no Indications of salt
at these localities.
I next visited seven “Lioks” in the Flat
Woods of Floyd, and one near the State line
in Cherokee county, Ala., and obtained spec
imens of the “ salt ” from Messrs. Ware,
Camp, and Larp On analysis, I find them
to be almost pure Sulphate of Magnesia or
Epsom Salts, with ao trace of common salt.
From the uniform character of the clay, I
deemed it unnecessary to sink wells or puT-
sue the investigation further. What is true
of one is true of all in the Flat Woods and
their vicinity.
From examination of this belt, some 40
miles in length and 10 to 15 miles in breadth,
and from the testimony of persons from oth
er points, I am constrained to believe, that
the saline substance ia confined to thm-
percial bed of clay; that it contains Alum or
Epsom Salts, with little or no trace of com
mon salt, and that farther exploration will
result in a useless expenditure of time and
money.
In conclusion, I would express my thanks
to Dr. F. W. Cheney and many other friends,
for their kindness and zealous co-operation
ia the objects of my visit.
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH E. WILLET.
Mercer University, June 5,
t Richmond on Tuesday.
We S£ke ihj following extracts from the Elchmond
Examiner of the 4th Instant :
During yesterday morning tbe enemy advanced their
forces some three quarter* of a mile, re-occupying a
portion of their former ground on the right wing of
our army. Some shells were thrown at a brigade,
moving its position, also st a government train, bat
with harmless effect. They appear to be masking their
troops at points adjacent the Williamsburg road, aa if
for a heavy demonstration from that quarter.
Gen. Johnston's army occupies its former positions
with changes rendered necessary by those of the ena-
my. The following address of President Davis to the
army was read to the troops yesterday by the ordering
of the General commanding:
Eiicctits Offtcx, June 2,1S62.
To £Ae Army of Richmond
I render to you my grateful acknowledgments for the
gallantry and good conduct you displayed In the 81st
May and 1st instant, and with jprlde and pleasure re
cognize the steadiness and intrepidity with which you
attacked the enemy In position, captured hlj advanced
entrenchments, several batterieeof artillery, and many
standards, and everywhere drove him from the open
field.
At & part of your operations It was my fortune to be
present. On no other occasion have I witnessed more
of calmness and good order than you exhibited while
advancing into the very jaws of death, and nothing
could exceed the prowess with which you closed upon
the enemy when a sheet of fire was blazing In your fa
ces 1
In the renewed struggle In which you are on the eve
of engaging, I ask, and can desire, but a continuance
of the same conduct which now attracts the admira
tion and pride of the loved ones you have left at home.
You are fighting for all that is dearest to men ; and,
though opposed to a foe who disregard many of the
usages of civilized war, your humanity to the wound
ed and the prisoners was the fit and crowning glory to
your valour.
Defenders of a just cause, may God have you in Uis
holy keeping ! JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The General will cause the above to be read to the
troops under his command.
THE COMMASDISO GENERAL'S ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.
We learn that on yosterday Major-General Robert
E. Lee was assigned to tbe command of the army in
front of Richmond, in consequence of a slight wound
to Gen. Johnston ; and, upon assuming his importaut
position, issued an address to the army, which was
read at the head of the regiments. Its sentiments cre
ated the liveliest enthusiasm. The address informed
them, in a very few words, that the army had made Its
last retreat, and that henceforth every man's watch
word must.be “Victory or Death,” The response was
cheers from ali the regiments.
LATEST FROM THE ARMY OF THE VALLEY.
We have late Information from Gen, Jackson's army,
walcli leaves him In force of Williamsport, on the Po
tomac, comm anding both shores. Ashby’s cavalry had
crossed and scouted as far as Frederick, Maryland,
meeting none of the enemy, but a great many friends.
Refugees from different parts of Maryland were going
into the ranks of tbe Confederate forces. They were
being armed with the guns taken from Banks. Harper's
Ferry and Martinsburg were both held by portions of
Jackson's command. A number of cars of the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad were taken at the Ferry and on
Winchester road. Nothing was known by our Inform
ant of the measures employed by Jackson to effect the
permanent disabling of the Baltimore A Ohio Kai road,
but they were known to be ample.
The prisoners of Banks’ dispersed army, captured at
Front Royal and Winchester, had all beeusentto Saul*-
bury, N. C., by way of Stauntoi and the Petersburg
and Lynchburg railroad. The whereabouts of the rem
nant of Banks’ army in Maryland was not known with
certainty, hut It was supposed he was waiting
Informed. The Federal force at Washington was being
strengthened by regiments from the.North.
LATEST NEWS FROM GLORIOUS STONEWALL.
A gentleman who reached Richmond last night from
Staunton, says adlsp&tchhad been received there from
Quartermaster Harman at Fredeiich, .Maryland, stat
ing that General Jackson had reached that place after
burning al the bridges from Harper’s Ferry to the Ca
pon, above Hancock, Maryland, and capturing an en
tire passenger train. The railroad track was also torn
up, and no trains were running on tbe Baltimore and
Ohio road higher up than the Washington Junction at
the Relay House.
Six hundred sacks of salt were captured between
Martinsburg and Washington.
An order had been Issued by Jackson for two thous
and wagons to convey away the stores taken from the
enemy, and wagoners w ere receiving each a present of
a sack of salt for each wagon and team furnished.
The stores taken at Front Royal were valued at
$220,000, and the aggregate at Winchester and other
places at two millions, of the most valuable Viud—
medicins, Ac. The foot bridge had been left standing
at the ferry for the conveyance of troops across.
THE YANKEE PRISONERS.
Y esterday morning the main body of tbe Y'ankee
prisoners (about five hundred in number), taken In
the battles of Saturday and Sunday, were marched to
the depot and sent off in an early train for Salisbury,
North Carolina, to make room for more of their breth
ren In the prisons here. A Isw who had straggled In
to our lines like lost sheep were captured on Monday
night, and brought In Yesterday. All of them ap
peared anxious to know how the Confederates treated
their prisoners. They had heard, they said, that the
ladies spit in their faces, and that one ear was cut off
as a mark to detect them if they were ever paroled
and went into the army again without being exchang
ed.
THE CHARGE OF THE HAMPTON LEGION.
In the gallant charge of the Hampton Legion on the
battery of the enemy on Saturday the Legion was sup
ported by the Fourteenth Georgia, and not the Nine
teenth Georgia, aa has been stated. The Fourteenth
charged up to within forty or fifty yards of the bat
tery, where it received a most galling and destructive
fire, and, after delivering its own fire, fell back. Af
terwards, in conjunction with the other regiments
composing the brigade, tbe Fourteenth made two suc
cessive and desperate charges upon the battery, and
finally fell back with the brigade. The loss sustained
by the Legion was given yesterday:
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION ON JAMES RIVER-
REPORTED LANDING OF THE ENEMY TO AT
TACK THE BATTERIES IN FLANK.
The Examiner of the 3d instant says:
We have information from the vicinity of Drury's
Bluff, and leads us to believe that the enemy, not con
tent with the repulse of their boasted gunboats, are
preparing to land, if they have not already lauded, a
foree from their transports, several miles below the
obstructions in the James River, to attempt a land re
duction of the batteries above iherc by a flank move
ment on the guns from tbe south side of the river. We
aee not informed of the strength of our forces engaged
la supporting from such an assault if menaced, but
webelieve.it to be amp:e enough to frustrate any such
demonstration.
Several tramports were in the river yesterday at the
point indicated, and as many gunboats lower down.
An ever vigilant eye watches the coiUngs of the cn-
emy, and we believe he can make no move, however
sudden and heavy, Gat will not be met at the proper
time and place by a counter one that shall thwart him
In his purpose.
The Examiner, ia it leadldg editorial, also says:
To take Drury's Bluff ij the next step they will at
tempt. Gunboats are of bo avail against tb8t position,
and will never be employed against It again except as
an aid to a land force. This force was being landed
below all yesterday. It is supposed to conAst of Burn-
slJc 3 whole army, and it will probably be used In an
attempt to fiank the position. Drury’s Bluff can, of
course, be taken by a land force, if not defimded In a
victorious battle by Mother land force; but this de
fence, it is hoped, the Confederates will be able to ef
fect.

AN IMPORTANT LETTER—THE CONSEQUENCES
OF SUBJUGATION !
The following letter was found In the headquarters
of Gen. Casey, after he and his army had been driven
from their camp at the battle of Chlckahominy, on
Sunday last. We fiad it in the Charleston Courier
HiaDQuiRTEBS Casey's Division-
On Board Sieamer Constitution,
March 81,1S62.
To the Hon. £. M. Stanton, Secretary of M ar :
Sir: The few short notes which I handed you on the
day I left Washington, with regard to the military de
fense of the country after this rebellion shall have been
mastered, I shall, by yaur kind permission, proceed
now briefly to elaborate.
I propose that we maintain an army of 100,000 men,
composed of the three arms of the sorvice in their due
proportion.
I would assign 2b,00o men to the defense of that part
of the country lying West of the Mississippi river, In
cluding the Preific coast. I would assign 15,000 men to
Hie defense of the Lake, Atlantic and Gulf States,
stretching from Lake Superior to the mouth of the Mis
sissippi, including Key West and the Tortugas. The
remaining 60,000 men I would station on the line of the
railroad lroin Memphis, Tenn., to Chattanooga, and
from thecae on one railroad branch to Charleston, S.
C., and on the other branch to Riehmond, Va.—occu
pying, between Memphis and Chattanooga, important
intermediate points, say Grand Junction, Corinth, De
catur and Stevenson.
Between Chattanooga and Charleston I would occu
py, say Decatur, Atlanta, Union Point, Augusta,Branch-
vllle, and possibly Columbia, S. C.
Between Chattanooga and Richmond I would occu
py, say Knoxville, Ablngton, Wytheville, Chrlatian-
burg, Lynchburg, Ch&rlottevlile, Burkeville and Rich
mond. Fredericksburg should also be occupied.
Just as aoou as the points Indicated are recovered
from the enemy they should be permanently ocaupied
by a military force. The important strategic points,
such as Chattanooga, Memphis and Richmond, should
be strongly fortified without delay.
I have tlius, In a brief tpanner, stated what I consid
er the best disposition to be made In a military point of
view. Considered politically, I am of tbe opinion that
the lines are not without their advantages. They pass,
for some considerable distance, through a mountainous
region. By the introduction of the superior knowl
edge and civilization which a disciplined and well-ap
pointed army would carry with it, the inhabitants of
that region would become as much attached to the
Union, loilhout condition, as any of the Northern
States, thus placing an insurmountable barrier to the
aucsess of that portion of the Union which would be
most likely to again rebel against tbe constituted au
thorities.
It is very certain that no argument is worth a straw
with tbe Southern rulers but that of the bayonet, and
we should be recreant to the cause of liberty ou this
earth if we did not use it effectually.
The President, besides the war power so to do, is
clothed with the legal power to take military possession
of ad' the railroads in the United States. The fact
that military provisional governments will have first
to be instituted ia tbe States containing the lines, will
render tbe possession and control of them easy.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obe
dient servant,

Latest From Corinth.
We learn from an intelligent gentleman who reached
the city yesterday, that the evacuation of Corinth was
executed with great skill and judgment, and without
lou of life on our part. Our tepops marched out
Thursday ntghs, and the last or them nad crossed Tus-
cumbia river when the head of the Federal column
(Gen. Pope’s Division) came In sight. Our rear-guard
found no trouble in repulsing the enemy, and holding
the bridge. Subsequently, a second attempt was made
to cross, and the enemy were allowed to wade the riv
er and some of them to get on the bridge, when one or
two batteries which had been concealed, opened upon
them and drove them back with considerable loss. The
Federals occupied Corinth at eleven o’clock on Friday
morning,
A detachment was sent out to burn the bridges on
the Mol lie and Ohio road north of Corinth, and on the
Memphis and Charleston road towards Memphis.—
Their orders were to set Ore to them at 6 o'clock Friday
morning, by which time it was expected that all the
trains going in the direction of Grand Junction would
pass. Unfortunately some of the trains, laden with
commissary stores, were delayed and did not reach
the bridge over the Hatchie until after It had been fired.
No other alternative was left but to destroy the cars
and their contents, roughly valued at $1,000,000.
The army Is now encamped at Booneville, Baldwyn
and Guntown, from twenty to thirty five miles below
Corinth, on the Mobile and Ohio road. The supply of
water, though better than It was at Corinth, is stilllim-
Ited’ It Is believed, however, that the health of the
army cannot fall to benefltted by the change, especially
if the people in the city and along the railroaid will
continue to furnish the troops with all the vegetables
and fresh meats they can spare.—Mobile Adoertintr

“P. W. A.,’’ writing to the Savannah Republican
from Corinth the 20th ult., says :
Gen. Pope is guilty of downright lying. He says the
Confederates “ suffered severely”—that our “ batteries
were completely disabled,” and our “ infantry line
driven baek several times," while his “ command was
eager for an advance.” Each and ali of these asser
tions are unmitigated falsehoods, and known by Gen.
Pope to be such et the time he was penning them. His
command, instead of being w eager for an advance,”
ran like frightened sheep; and his retreat er flight, so
far from being conducted “ in good order,” was a dis
