A Hellish Outrage by Yankees.—by a letter which has
reached this city from Wetzen County, (says the Richmond Examiner,) we
learn the particulars of a most revolting outrage committed by some
Yankee fiends upon the person of the wife of Mr. L. S. Hall, member of
the State Legislature from Wetzel, and one of the first advocates of
secession in his section. Mrs. Hall had her clothes tied over her head
and in that condition she was thrust into the street of New
Marketsville, her husband's place of residence. Report says that an
outrage, to which death is preferable, was perpetrated upon her
person.—The Yankee hellhounds afterwards burned down Mr. Hall's
outhouses and ransacked his house.

Yankee Fiendishness.—Mississippi has been reserved for
the final capping of the climax of Yankee brutality, says the
Mississippian. Not satisfied with burning, devastating towns, cities,
farm houses and plantations, their barbaric instincts found vent in the
perpetration of an act at which humanity revolts. We are informed that
Mrs. Fort, a widow lady, residing in Madison County, six miles from
Canton, a sister of B. Ricks, a wealthy and influential citizen of that
county, was recently stripped and upon her back was inflicted 500
stripes with a leather strap, by two Yankee brutes. She was so badly
bruised that fears were entertained for her life. If such acts as these
do not fire up the blood of Mississippians and Southrons everywhere,
then, indeed, may we conclude that justice has fled to brutish beasts.
It is, however, only another dark chapter in the book of fiendish Yankee
monstrosities.

Yankee Outrage.—A few days ago, says the Mobile Tribune
of the 23d inst., a party of Yankee marines came ashore not far from
Bayou la Batre, and waded to the house of a Mrs. Neill. She was alone
at the time.—They endeavored to extort from her information of the
number and position of our troops in the neighborhood as well as
information of the localities, &c. She either had no information to
give or was determined not to gratify the ruffians. The result was the
most barbarous maltreatment. After beating her severely, they tied her
with her child in her arms to a tree, where she was found not long
afterwards by her husband, who was returning in company with other
persons from the saltworks of that section. The scoundrels got off
safely, although they were almost within call of a portion of our force
in the neighborhood.

Yankee Outrages on Women.
A gentleman who left Winchester on last Thursday, says
that a Yankee cavalry force, numbering about one hundred and fifty,
visited the town on Monday morning last, and remained there several
hours. Their force in the Valley below Winchester is not large.
At Martinsburg they are reported to have from 1,500 to
2,000, and at Charlestown a small cavalry force and two regiments of
infantry.
From Loudon county we have a report that the Yankees are
behaving with greater fiendishness than has heretofore characterized
their conduct else where, and that they have in several instances
violated the persons of some of the most respectable ladies in the
county. Three sisters, young, intelligent, and of excellent social
position, have been made the victims of their lust, because a brother of
theirs was a Captain in the Confederate service. A short time since
they attempted to outrage the person of the wife of a clergyman, who is
also in our service. She was stopping with a friend near Leesburg,
where her room was entered by a Federal officer, who locked the door
behind him. Her struggles and screams attracted the attention of a
negro man on the premises, who ran to the window of the room, which
caused the wretch to desist for an instant in the prosecution of his
infernal designs. In this interval the lady jerked his pistol from his
side and fired at him, while he ran off, and with an associate mounted
his horse and left, leaving his pistol behind him.]

Did you read about the "Southerner" behavior recently? It appears that one "Southerner" shot and killed another "Southerner" who was just minding his own business after buying his little brother some skittles. See how stupid the whole "Southerner vs. Yankee" dynamic is? If you go back far enough you can find examples of "everything and anything" with which to support your opinion. Like George Washington one of the 3%! He was neither Yankee nor Southerner and yet he was both!
ReplyDeleteThe savagery that was committed by the yankee's was promoted, propagated & rewarded from the command staff all the way to the bastard siting in the White House.
ReplyDeleteReconstruction was just the way the legitimized wholesale raping, demoralizing & pillaging while destroying anything the South had.
Hell the yankee's were no better than the Taliban or any other terrorist organization.
States took precedent over the country as General Lee mentioned more than once and as did my 3XG one of the III Percent at Brandywine.
ReplyDeleteWe have nothing in common and are a different people as the good general espoused below.

Confederate General D.H. Hill's letter to Yankee General French in 1863: (Excerpt)
"In regard to your first communication touching the burning of Plymouth you seem to have forgotten two things. You forget, sir, that you are a Yankee and that Plymouth is a Southern town. It is no business of yours if we choose to burn our own towns. A meddling Yankee troubles himself with everybody's matters but his own and repents of everybody's sins except his own. We are a different people. Should the Yankees burn a Union village in Connecticut or a codfish town in Massachusetts we would not meddle with them but rather bid them God-speed in their work of purifying the atmosphere."
