Even the negro girls had lost their little finery. We now had renewed evidences of the outrages committed by Hunter's orders in burning and plundering private houses. We saw the ruins of a number of bouses to which the torch had been applied by his orders. At Lexington he had burned the Military Institute, with all of its contents, including its library and scientific app;iratus; and Washington College had been plundered and the statue of Washington stolen. The residence of Ex-Uovernor Letcher ...at that place had been burned by orders, and but a few minutes given Mrs. Letcher and her family to leave the house. In the same county a moi;t excellent christian gentleman, a Mr. Creigh, had been hung, because, on a former occasion, he had killed a strag- gling and marauding Federal soldier while in the act of insulting and outraging the ladies of his family. These are but some of the outarges committed by Hunter or his orders, and 1 will not insult the memory of the ancient barbarians of the North by calling them " acts of Yandalism.
