Amongst fl the killed is a notoiious Yankee villain, u Lieut. Willis. We learn, also, that Hcz- , ekinh Davis, and old citizen of that neighborhood, was present and got killed. ^ At the scene of the disaster it is said tl the Yankees had erected a tall t-nvcr or ^ lookout, in fhe top of which a Yankee was at the time posted.
