Their pro grefs has been that of an enemy at toe lacking of a town* except that they had not in any cafe violated the refpeft due to the female lex; I have heard of bat few cafes in which r en them language has been un r, ;„nly.

It does not appear that the rockets car. be cwrredtly directed, and *n the Tcattcred fiats nf the buildings of the towns which’ have been burnt, net one has been fired by them ; they are not as dangerous at a bomb in exploding. Tneir netfe in the air is indeed terrific, and it is only in very clofe built towns that they can be *f ufe. At Fredericktown one man was wounded, now per fectly recovered, and a horfe had his heat (hot off.
