On Friday last,
six vile miscreants came ashore from a
steam-tug at Currioman, in Westmoreland
county. Three of them stood guard while the
remaining three proceeded to plunder and
destroy the property of defenseless
citizens. Their first act was to board and
burn the schooner "Enigma," property of W.
R. Polk, of Montross. They then took
possession of several small boats, seins,
and other articles that were lying about or
near the shore, carrying off the most
valuable, and destroying such as were less
worthy of transportation.
Their next act
was to skulk through the bushes to the field
of Col. Wm. H. Sanford, and slaughter three
beeves, which, with the aid of their
companions, they carried off. Col. Hutt,
upon receipt of intelligence that they had
landed and were committing these
depredations, summoned a company of militia,
armed with muskets and shot guns, mounted
them and proceeded to the river. But he was
too late; the rogues had secured their
booty, and made good their escape to the
steamer.
--An
arrangement has since been made to give
these Yankee free-booters a more formal
reception upon their next visit. Grape vines
grow plentifully in the neighborhood of
Currioman. |

Confederacy Costing the State $400,000 Yearly
Richmond
– Va., Oct. 25. The Confederacy still is costing the state of
Virginia approximately $400,000 a year despite the fact its flags
were furled at Appomattox more than three-quarters of a century ago.
Figures compiled by John H. Johnson, head of the Pension Division of the Comptroller’s
office, reported that during the fiscal year ended June 30 pension,
funeral allowances and other expenditures for Confederate
institutions totaled $400,923.77.
