71R HARPEK'S WEEKLY. [NOVEMBER 8, 18(J2. K UNKING NEGROES SOUTH. Ox pages 712 and 713 we publish an Illustration of an event of very frequent occurrence nt tlic pres ent time in Virginia: namely, the DKIVINO OF KiionoHs SOUTH in order to escape tho approach of our army. The poor creatures are collected in gangs, handcuffed or chained together, and driven off under the lash or at'the point of the bayonet. One authority says: A refugee from the vicinity of Loesburg states that a rebel cavalry force appeared In that place on Monday lout nnd forcibly carried South all the negroes who hod pre viously been collected together there, and placed in con finement, by order of General Lee. The Times correspondent says: While at Alrlle, on Thursday lint, two citizens, named Moore and Ball, came within our lines and were detained us prisoners. Tho first named la a son of the proprietor of Moore1* flour milk, nt Aldie, on a branch of Goose Creek, and the latter Is a large planter in tho same town. They had "done nothing," so they said, and were neither bush whackers nor soldiers, and were surprised at being detained within our Unoa when so near their homes, from which they had been absent some time. L'pon being questioned closely, they admitted that thoy had just come from the James River; and finally owned up that thoy had been running off " niggers," having just token a large gang, be longing to themselves and neighbors, southward in ehtmu, to avuld losing them under the emancipation proclamation. I understand, from various sources, that the owners of this ppecles of property, throughout this section of the State, are moving It off toward Rk-hniond an fast as it can be spared from the plantation.-, and the slaveholders boast that there n 111 not be a negro left in all this part of the Btate by the I-t of January next Another correspondent says: The rebels In Sccnsla nrj busily engaged Just now in running off to Richmond nnd beyond negroes and con scripts. A I'ulon man, Just from below Culpcpper, Bays that he saw droved of negroes nnd white men on the rond at dlnVrent points—all stnuuslv guarded. He does not exactly know which excited lib pity most, the white or hlack uicii. THE WAli IN UPPER MARY LAND. WE publish on page 71C a view of the DESTRUC TION of THI-: UAi.Ti.iioitK AM> Onto RAILROAD by the rebels, as seen from Fair View Mountain; and on |Mgo 717 several pictures taken at HANCOCK. All are froui sketched hy our special artist, Mr. Theodore It. Davia. lie writes: FAIII VIEW. The rebels are completing as fast as possible the destruction of the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad by burning the tics. This they do by placing fence- rails upon the track and firing them; this destroys not only the ties, but completely ruins the iron. When I Hindu my sketch from tho signal-station on Fair View Mountain the sight was beautiful. The burning road showed a snake-like trail of smoke fur miles, tho Potomac showing here and there like lakes, and the thousands of little tents gave a charming contrast to the changing forest. It is, we are told, the intention of the rebels (o destroy the road as far as it Is n ithin their reach. They say th.it it " Yankeeized" the country through which it ran—meaning that it civilized it. HANCOCK. Hancock, an exceedingly picturesqne town of 4000 iub.ahit.inl8, situated on this side of the Po- toinae, is now the theatre of considerable military activity, being occupied by a portion of the right win,; of the Army of the Potomac. Lieutenant Eg you must give me the little horse; he is swift and sure; 1 have hunt ed wolves before with him." Af'er a slight hesitation about the man's safety, which he thought in no peril of any sort, his plan was a lopted. • The little horse was got out and liven to Mattvic; Si undersoil mounted the dick ey, un I on we went aheud. Our man, screaming like a pig, r»ile back to invite the wolves to fnllow him into Timofey's trap. Around 4'iiiiofe\ 's house was a strong, high palisade; through this there was only one entrance, by a door opening inward, and hung by a pulley and heavy balance-weight, so when a wolf pushed himself through this door it closed, and shut him into the space between the house and palisade. This space was again divided off by strung cross-partitions round the premises, in each of which was fixed a sliding panel or a drop panel, that could be pulled up or let down from within the house. By these means the inmates could separate the wolves, and kill them with dogs, guns, or hatchets, at their leisure. I had heard f one man trapping in this manner as many as f y wolves in a winter, besides other game, th< :-kins of which were worth to him at least one hun dred and fifty rubles. As we approached the hnt we found it of large dimensions than we had expected, and the palisade seemed to take in a larger circumference than one hut required. We shouted, but no o'ne answeVe'd; all was as still and quiet as if the place were un- abiXy*.. (Jn our entering the door through the palisade it closed with a bang, and we fuund our selves in a small iuclosurc with a gateway oppo site, leading to the back premises; but it was made Fast. After thundering at it for a minute or two a small door in the gateway opened, and there emerged, cautiously, the figure of a man rulTbing his eyes and staring through his hair. lie re minded me of the blind bear. His hair, like a great mass of tangled tow, was matted o\cr his head and face; he wore a coarse gray ragged over coat over u gray cotton or sacking shirt and trow- sers, and long felt boots completed his costume. He made many excuses, and asked pardon many ime.i for keeping us waiting, but seemed to be in no hurry to admit us until we told him that a pack of wolves might be expected, and that our horses and conveyances must be put in a place of safety. The information acted on him like a galvanic shock, and he was off into the house with a spring, through a side-door inside, the gateway. We followed, stoop ing all the time, and were in the house. It was a man-kennel, twenty or thirty feet square, a great stove in the centre, dogs about a score lying on he floor, and men snoring on the top of the pack. The heat was suffocating, the stench was poisun- lus. Timofey soon roused the sleepers, pulling hem off their perch by the legs, pouring water >ver their heads, culling the men and kicking the dogs. " Wolves! wolves! yon pigs, and you all sleeping! Be quiet, dogs. No barking. Evan, ,ake the barons' horses and dogs round by the back entrance to the shed.' Quick! Andrea, stand by the big gate, and be ready to shut it after Mattvic _ets through. Put the dogs in the third division, and get out the guns! Ah, thuuk God and these barons for bringing us the wolves 1" We had no intention of being cooped up in the hut while the fray went on, and therefore took onr station beside the man at the gateway, which now itood wide open for the admission of Maltvic and liis little horse. In a short time all was quiet, and every necessary' preparation made. Then came the howling of wolves and the screaming as of a pig, the gallop of a horse over the hard crisp snow, he rush of many small feet. The outer door in .he palisade was dashed open, and Mattvic, fol lowed in half a minute by the whole pack, rushed n. That half-minute was just sufficient to enable Mattvic to vanish through the outer door into the trap. Then, as the last pressure on the door was removed, it closed with a loud sharp sound, and some five-and-twenty wolves were snared in a space not larger than twelve feet by twenty. We did not at first close the inner gateway, but, leveling our pieces at the mass of wolves now huddling themselves up in a corner, poured in two volleys n rapid succession, then closed the gate, and re loaded for another charge. The change from the air of ferocious savage daring which the wolves had displayed in pursuit of n single horseman, to abject terror when they found themselves caught in the narrow trap, was instantaneous. They were like sheep in a pen, crushing up in a corner, riding on the top of one another, lying down on their bel lies, crouching and shivering with fear. It is not necessary to describe the scene of mere slaughter. Two staves were chopped out of the gateway that we might fire through. 'Ihc drop panels were opened, and two or three were admitted at a time to the next division; there dogs were let in on them through the adjoining (rap, or they were kill ed by men with great bars of wood or axes, and at length, when only six or seven remained, three of the men went in among them, and with perfect safety dispatched them. They say that a worm will turn on the heel that treads on it, but wolves caught in a trap like this, from which there is no escape, have less courage than a worm. They crouch, shiver, and die, as I saw, without one ef fort at self-defense, or one snap of retaliation. ADVERTISEMENTS.
