More Federal Outrages.

--The Petersburg Express of yesterday has the following:

‘ A gentleman reached this city from York county yesterday. He informs us that the Yankee Vandals are continuing their depredations in the country around Hampton, and perpetrating deeds of lawlessness, which have produced a panic among the people.

The house of Mr. Wm. Anderson has been broken open, all the valuables taken therefrom, and the furniture destroyed. Even his bonds and other private papers were torn into small pieces. His out-houses and growing crops shared general ruin.

Mr. Wm. Turnbull shared a similar fate to Mr. Anderson, saving nothing but a horse and wagon, in which he and his wife and seven children reached the steamboat wharf yesterday, and are now in this city.

The house of Mr. Algernon Whiting was robbed yesterday morning at early dawn, his granaries destroyed, and then the torch applied, and all the buildings burned to the ground. This last outrage is supposed to have been committed by a portion of the scoundrels who are now quartered between Hampton and the Fort.
