About 1 p. m. thc ru mor le-'suuicd reality ami everyone be thought how they might -ave just what they would need must fruin thc dcspoilers. My .-ister ami I busied ourselves collecting some jewels which . wc pri/.etl, putting it in a glass jar and j proposed to bury it near a spring, a little distance from us. On our way we stopped sit a friend's house, asking ! advice, hut before we could decide we ' found ourselves surrounded hy thc j raiders, who had come into town in all directions. Wc had gone to the hack 1 ?jf thc house to secrete our treasure, j but saw them across the street. Sister j (the bravest of thc two) hid them about her person-it was a dangerous ? act, for we had heard of some very j rude treatment in some instances. ' Our friend's house was beset with thc vandals, coarse, ill-bred, dirty men, ! not ono who looked respectable and gentlemanly. They coolly took the watch our friend had on, went to tho stable and stole si line pet horse, leav- ? a lame and blind mule instead. The ! watch was valued much for its anti- ? ijuity in the family, hi.t they did not heed that. We were in great perplex- ? ity as to our getting back to our homo ! on the square. Four thousand mon, uuderoncCJcn, llrown, had crowded our pretty, peaceful town. (len. Brown ! not in a condition ?luring his stay of I two days and nights to coutrol or com- : maud anything, much less his men; ; thc families of thc town were at their J mercy. They tried logain protection, i asking for a guard in almost every I home. I asked this wonderful con queror to give us protection. Ile said: "There is such a demand for guards that wc could ever have so many more men." Wc reached our homo to lind our dear motlier greatly distressed and un nerved, having risen that morning for j the first time in three weeks from a ! s'u-k bed, having been an invalid for j several years. Father, my dear, pa triotic, gund father, had been robbed of a linc gobi watch and roughly handled. Two young demons entered the house: one girdled with numbers of dirks, pistols and other articles of, violence began flinging everything in a trunk of mother's, looking for anns sind money, destroying clothing and vases that were put away there; when asked: "Young man, do you ever t.iink of (jiod?'' he turned, and with an oath, pointed a pistol at her, saying, 'This is the Yankee's dod." She was alarmed, and ran to find help; just then a man, who seemed to be an offi cer of some sort, came in and ordered these wretches out. One of them stole our old servant's watch, a silver one, that he had given his young mas ter in charge, hoping to have repaired. When he knew they had taken it, he was enraged, and said: "V? ell, well, is dat all descyergood fer nuttin' rascals could do? Tief from a poor old nig ger he watch, all he got, and oan't get no udder one. I never had no usc fer dcm kind er people, nohow." Ile was our trusty servant for years and ever ready to devote his whole soul to our interests. Wc entrusted him with the silver service to be hidden, and wc knew if old "Daddy (J-" hid it no one could ever get it. We were hc s.eiged by scores of men entering the kitchen below and ordering our ser * vants to wait on them; kept them cooking for them all night. They for- ' bade their cooking anything for us and only by stealth did they do so in thc morning. They gave the negroes all hicli hil i ii ?!<!.!! fluni t i t whin-.-. \ iv wlm ?..ii -tm- .{ fiji? \V. .-.

Ami dill bc ever hear . anything about the war? Ami did he , know of thc surrender? It greatly , atuuscd my patriotic father, who , bad kepi himself well advised on all important matters, and told this fellow , Su. Tea was served, ami, though the < meal was a simple and scant une, he . was asked to join US. Ile declined, , much to our gratification, and said: "I ( will not interrupt you. I only wish to j rest and will just sit where 1 am." Ho j was marshal of thc unruly bord, and ( wc asked him for protection and were ^ glad to have him near. Wc took our ] scats to partake nf our meal-tea, , buscuits, grist and sonic sorghum. , When we went to help ourselves there \ was nothing like a spoon or fork there: , no silver of any kind. Sister, who presided at the waiter, called Law- , renee, our waiting boy, a tall, comely j black of lb, well trained in his call- , ing. to get tho silver, and wondered . why ho bad omitted it, knowing it was , needed. He was very obstinate, re- j fusing to place it: kept twisting side- ( ways and turning bis back to tho cap- f tain, and making all the signs secret- j ly he could do without detection from ] thc captain. The antics and signs j were tun rcdiculous, and we were all ( full of laughter. At last sister order- , ed him to go at once and stop his non- { sense. He brought them ami kept, a j vigilant eye upon thc captain, and as f soon as wc were through the meal, in- ;, stantly as we rose, grabbed up each 1 article and rushed wildly out of the r room; hid them up an old unused s chimney. Wo found out that he was f very sure the captain might rob us and t tried to prevent it: he also secreted \ his master's silver-headed mahogany cane, putting it under thc rafters of the roof. Pour follow, he became a \ little demoralized after his freedom, < and there was much excuse for him. i but he seemed sorry and desirous te i mend. f The first night, and several after, f there was constant intrusion and riot- * ing, all sorts ol' abominable instills and thefts. The day after entering the town was hideous; thc public 4 square was tilled with drunken caval- i ry; the men had discovered a coller ' full of large quantities of fine liquor, ? which had been stored away during thc war. They took possession of it, 1 gave some to the negroes and drank i until they reeled upon their horses. \ While looking from my window I saw ] some men strewing a train of powder i beneath thc windows of the hotel and ^ heard them chuckling over it, remark ing, ' Won't there be a lively time up 1 there to-night?" "Pretty wann," all , interspersed with oaths. I ran across i the. square to find Capt.-, who ' had promised to protect us, and told him what I had seen and heard. He said, "I will give you satisfaction." He ordered them to take brooms and > sweep up very carer ally every particle, and bc put those who had done it under arrest. This was going on, and much more, while thc grand Gen. H., was snoring in a besotted sleep at thc principal hotel. The stores were thrown open, and everything like food turned into the dirt or given to ne groes, who came for miles around to get all they could. Thc corn strewn around fed hoes for weeks on the pub lie square. Thc extortioners bad a sad lesson; they had been holding ! buck for higher prices and lost nil, dc- | stroying visions of great fortunes. Confederate money lilied the air; ? floating everywhere: the negroes bail handfuls, believing, (as they were j told) that it was sound money and | ! :.' y Wi : .. i gcn.?rc I. h:?'t I l.< Hight i '-TM .1? .?."ll <i|" . . !-. i H si - M .1 ii'/ vu lu??' diaring wii!) . r. -l Mli'i Mi -.- i - liligi!'] ! i ?i Jj s>(|'il,i**.

We entertained the captain about | two days and nights; I don't think he relished Iii- menu, it was so .caul and j very simple.
