Why did confederates burn Pleasent Lilly's house

When Gen. Cox & LT.Col. Hayes went through Flat Top they burned P. Lilly's house even though if you read Hayes's Diary, his main concern was Capt. Richard Foley.
union troops went to Foleys house but did not burn it. P. Lilly was a member of the Flat Top Copperheads but was low in rank why did they burn his home.
