Editors : An erroneous report, by a Northern reporter, of the "SHEBHAN meeting in Columbia," has been published in the ?V. Y. World, and copiod into your columna. As you request ed-and no ono has sent yon an account of the mealing-I take leave to give you a correct, re port. Upon the Chairman announcing the object of the meeting, I offered the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, Major-Gen. W. T. 8herman, U. S. A., who gain? d for himself by his systematto employ ment of tho torch in tho war upon tho Southern people and tin it- homes, the well-merited title of the Great Incendiary, has attempted to shirk tho responsibility of the infamous act of burning Columbia, after being surrendered to him, and in the act util occupation of his army: Hi solved, That a oommittoe of twenty-one citi zens, who were present at the conflagration, be appointed to collect affidavit? of evidence thereof-, and that enid affidavits be dopoaited among the archives of the city for future use. lit solved. That the committee of twenty-one bo authorized to prepare a carefully condensed synopsis ?if the evidence, and publish it to the world, certified by their names. I stated that it would be impossible to give ex tensive publicity to the voluminous evidenoe which would be collected, but that a short synopsis would be widely copied by the preae, while the affidavits would be preserved until the proper oc casion occurred for using them in a legal point of view. Col MOMAHTKU objocted to the preamble au prejudging in advance of the oolleo ion of evi denoe, and as id it should be renf amber ed that the people of the North looked upon Gen. SHEBMAH as a groat soldier and honor to his country, who had done more than Gen. OK ANT to bring the war to a? oloae; tlat be was entitled to have the evi denoe against bim adducod before condemning him. Mr. TAIXST took a similar view, ?.nd BO did the Hon. E. J. AiiTTitm, who offered a substitute sim ply proposing a committee to collect testimony and report t?i a subsequent meeting. Other i eso luttons to tbe same t fleet were offered by Mr. F. G. Dn FoMTAiers. Not oonvtnoed by the technical objections of these geatlemeu of the Bar, I still replied that my object was nat disoueaion on a matter upon which all agreed ; that in the preamble I had simply ex plained, iu a few words, the object of tho meet ing ; that, in stating propositions known and be lieved by all of ne, I did not consider that I was denouncing Gen SnemtA.v ; that I thought I was drawing it rather mild on the General in alluding to him so gontiy ; that tho preamble waa not ab solutely necessary ; so, for the reason above given, I aakod leave to withdraw it. Dr. W. BET NOLDS objected, but I inaisted, and it was allowed. Mr. An-nirn'a resolution was then adopted, as foi Io ?-a : Whereas, i tis highly important to the truth of hist?*?/ that the oircumetaDOt-s attending the de Htinotlon c?f tbe City of Columbia, on the 17th of F< braary, 1805, KUOUIU bo fully and impartially investigated, and the t-viilcuoe in relation thereto oollooiod and p? rpetu ?ted win Jo the facts are ni iii frosh m tho uieiuury of vntncsuo?; be it, there fore Resolved, That' a Committee of twelve persona be appointed by tho Chairman to collect the testi mony in rolttii ?u to the destruoti n of Columbia at the time aforesaid, and report the same to an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Columbia and iUohUiiit District, to be called by the Chair man ?if .said Commit too when he may be prepared to make ?mou a report. Under the above r?solution the Chairman ap pointed tho foUoiving named gentlemen: Chan cellor J. P. Carroll, Hon. W. F. DtSauasure, Hon. F?. J. Arthur, Dr. John Fisher, Dr. Wm. Beynolda, Dr. D. H. Trezevant, Dr. A. N. Talley, Prof. W. ?T. Bivers, Prof. John LeConte, Gol. J. T. Sloan and OoL L. D. Childs. In common with his feUow-oltizens, I am unwil ling that an impression should bo made that "re solutions vindicating HAMPTOH, and indirectly fastening tbe blame on BXXKOMAN, failed"-no such were offered. Where Gen. HAK pros ia eo well known for his noble integrity and unsullied character, the idea is preposter?os. As I took part in the initiation of the proceed ings, I am not willing that the published report should go forth without correction. I am perhaps entitled to a word in the premiaos, M I saw my realdouoe aaoked, pillaged, and deliberately eet on Ure by SBBBMAM'S sober soldiers, and when I re monstrated with them for burning a house filled with women and children, they shouted and Jeered atme : "Qui facit per alies, fecit per se." I might evon be pardoned were I to denounce the barbarous and wanton doatruotlon of my lite rary, soientiflo and historical treasured-the asso ciations of my life-and being rudely driven into the streets, with my daughters and grandchildren, to wander through SDEBMIMS pitiless firo-atorm and licensed soldiery-but I prof or to leave him to his conscience and his God. I would, bowovor, wheo Mr. BAKOBOFT studies tho truth of hi?tory in tho evidence of onr com mittoe, to perpotuate it, oommond to him tho fol lowing recent poetioal tribute to the Great Incen diary of the Age : " Toa aaered tanroJ. meed nt bero-prateo, Would wither, ecurchtd, opo< m or?,w tike his." Bespectfully, B. W. GIBBES, M. D. Oohmbia, S. 0, Mayal, 1866. P. S. I trust the New York World will oopy this. It ha? ever treated the subjugated South with jua. tioo and a fair consideration. i. -'??* ?--i [OOMM?NIOATKD.] Mr. Editor :-Will you pleaso inform n?, through your value bio paper, how it is that a cer tain detoctlvo marks out some segar stores foi .oiling on Bandayo, and gets them fined, while he passe? by other sogar atores guilty of the samr i offonoe, without interfering with ibera.

To the Editor of the Daily News : Sin :-Wo regret that Dr. SIMS' last eflort s indi cate tho noceesity of a little moro tboriaca, and additional doona of ammonia and cblorodyno. Ho can scarcely demur at our prescription, inaamnch sa ho has rc8urroctod tho ?ret article, and recom mended largo doses of the others. Wo will only practico on the Doctor with bia own phyaio. In our review, wo Assorted that tho article theriaca (and not the "term," aa Dr. S. improper ly credits ua with saying) was obsoleto, and not now admitted into any modern Pharmacopoeia of rcapeotabllity. Our authority for thia aauertion waa distinctly announced to be the United State* Diapensatory, whoso opinion Dr. SIM now values no highly. Upon page 1051, edition 1865, wo read AD follows : "Thoao exceedingly complex and un Boientifio preparations formorly known by tho names of tboriaca and mithridato, which have beon expolled from modern pharmacy." Dr. SIM, in his reply to our review, in your iaeuo of the 17th inat., affirmed dogmatically that tho "terms theriaca and theriaco are commonly used hy physioiana in their preaoriptions to signify molasBoa." I adduced tho test inrony of three of our most intelligent druggists to disprove thia aa oortion. It haa pleaaed Dr. SIM to imputo to thom the "naivete of publishing their own ignorance," and of "sotting up their opinions against the United. States Dispensatory." Let ua now, for tho sake of the druggists, examine briefly tho opinion of tho Dispensatory. Upon page 724, edition 1865, the last published, we find that the recog nized officinal synonym for molasses is "Syrupne Fuacus." The synonyms "theriaca and treacle" are noted aa officinal only in the British Pharma copoeia. But it will bo rememborod that Dr. SIM, in his article in your iseuo of the 17th, referred ua to tho United ?States Dispensatory, edition 1858, page 662, aa his authority for using the term theriaca as synonymous with molasses. Although this reforenco to an old edition of the book show ed that ho was behind the age, wo will meet him on his own ground. Hero tho term "Sacchari Faex," aa taken from tho London and Edinburgh Fbarmacopcoias, Is the recognized officinal syno nym for molasses. The torm "theriacs." is noted as tho officinal synonym of tho Dublin Pharmaco poeia. It ia clear, then, but curious, that Dr. 8m Ignored tho synonyms of the U. S, Dispensatory, and of the London and Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia and adopted that of the Dublin. He can but ex plain why. He should also explain why he now refers the druggists to the U. S. Diapenaatory. Dr. SIM can hardly have forgotten in what country ho lives in-in what country he was oduoated. He is a licentiate of a Scotch college, and he adopta Irish pharmacy ; ho enjoys a high appointmont nnder the United States Government, and he ignores the scientific synonyms adopted by the U. S. Dispensatory. Weliumbly submit that one in Dr. SIM a position should have conformed to the U. S. Dispensatory, and abandoned his Irish proclivities. But grauting him the right of a choice between the U. S. Dispensatory and the Dublin Pharmaoopoeia, would he not have exhibited more common sense, while doaling with prescrip tions (to be filled by our local druggists), if he had followed the U. 8. Dispensatory, and tbns put it beyond the possibility of their mistaking the meaning of his prescriptions ? These druggists, whom it pleases him to sneer at, do expect to be govorned by the officinal termo of the U. S. Dispensatory, but they do not feel obligated to oompound medioines in the Irish style. Their good name, we know, is yot safe with a discriminating public. But we much regret that Dr. SIM did not secure his "share of tho public gratitude" by furnishing the name? of the "uianv'? druggists who propose, with him, to malte molass es out of an aromatio confection of opium. So lunch for our doao of theriaca. iiYDiioiJHi.onATE or AMMONIA-In our preceding article we expressed incredulity at the idea of cblorodyno ouring the aixty caaes of cholera at Paris, and laughed a lit tlo at Dr. SIM'S b?lier that the hydroohlorato of ammonia was a still more efficient remedy. Dr. SIM now qnotes Dr. ANDER SON aa having announced, in 1854, the discovery that ammonia waa "as muoh of a speciflo for cho lera as qui ino is a febrifuge in intermittent fever." We have the temerity to say that Dr. ANDER SON made a very silly announcement, and we call on the experience of the profession nineo 1854 to sup port our opinion. We refer Dr. SIM to the very excellent Leo ture on Cholera of Deputy Inspector Gen. MACLEAN, M.D., Professor of Military Modi olne, published lo the London Lancet tor May, 1866. If he believes that a apeolflo for cholera has been found, we tell him to read the opinion of Dr. JOHN MACPHKBBON, as given ia the locturo al luded to. After fourteen years' experienoo io Bengal, he waa convinced that ohloroform was the only addition we moderna had yet acquired to our (?took of cholera romedies; and he was, with thia exoeption, almost prepared to adopt the opin ion of lloucnABDAT, after the cholera of 1650, "that he had not seen a elogio efficacious remedy, not one discovery, not a Bingle thought indioatlvo of edentlfio progress." To believe In oblorodyne or ammonia as a apeoiflo for obolera, ia to hold to a "aheet-anohor of hopo" that will drag with every wind of new doctrine. But we only allude to thia sub j eot to ask Dr. SIM if hia pharmacy proclaims Ammonia the synonym of tbe Hydrochlorate ef Ammonia, bia "shoot-auohor" in the disease ? Wo do not think he oto now find refuge even in tho Dublin Phar macopoeia, And if our impression bo correct, Dr. SIM should explain why Dr. ANDERSON'S dis covery is alluded to I The only inference wo can draw is, that Dr. SIM want? to olaltn priority in tbia groat discovery, for his experience bogan in 1883. CHLOBODTNB.-To let the public know more about this article, and to give Dr. SIM the full benefit of the U. 8. Diapoosatory, wo quote its language in full from page 966, edition 1865: "'Cblorodyno.' An empirioal preparation made under thia name haa boen extensively used in Lod don, aud haa recently aoquired aomo general reputation from having been the reputed cause oi death in a rocont oaae of accidental poisoning io England, and aa having produced very threaten ing symptoms In another oaae, io which the pa tient was saved. From a formula published in ' the Am. Journal of Pbarmf, March, 1860 (p. 181), . It would appear to consist of chloroform, chlone > ether (GO oalled), tincture of oepaioum, oil ol ' peppermint, muriate of morphia, hydrocyao!; add (Sou.?!?'?) perchloric acid, tincture of In? dian hamp and molaosoa; and of theso powerful medicine?, moroovor, in HUC'H proportiouH au tu mako one shudder at tho idea of its unregulatod uso." Ae Dr. SIM i* "dono" with na, wo now finish with him. Our taek waa undertaken under a conscien tious soDse of duty to tho publio, and tho publio must now daoJdfl if Dr. SIM'S phyaio is to go down. We consider it moro raodost to adopt a "norn de }>lume" than to aproad our namo in print. Wo havo no dosire, however, for ita concealment tu Dr. SIM or the curious generally. Mr. Editor, you aro ut liberty to divulgo it. Wo havo lived long enough in thin community to fear no appeal to that coii??Yneo and generosity which have over been our support. In the evont of tbo isi-uo of other medical pamphlets to the people, you may again hoar tho voico of GALEN. ? ? . Ia Civil Law Restored I To the Editor of the Daily iVeioa. General Ordera No. 26, of May 1, 1866, from tho War Department, provides that "hereafter, when ever offences committod by civilians aro to bo tried where oivll tribunals aro in existence which can try them, their cases are not authorized to be, and will not bo, brought before military courts martial or commission, but will be committed to tho proper civil authorities." * * Now tho question for consideration is, whether or not, in all ouVncoa or injuries against freed ne groes, either oivil or criminal, there are in this Stato in oxistenco oivil tribnnala which can try them; and upon examination, of the law it will be fonud that there aro. The Statuloa of South Carolina provide that for any debt or demand of a free person of color ho may bring his civil suit against a white mau in tho Courts of Law in this State, aud have as complote justice dono him as any white citizen could. So much for bis oivil rights. For the morder of a freo negro [or oven a B1?.ve], by a whito mau, the punishment waa and ia the same, and tried before tho same civil tribunal as that for the murder of a whito man. The Act of the Legislature of 1837, 6 Stat, 674, provides thal "?'hoover shall bo convicted of foroi bly or fraudulently abducting, or assisting to do so, any free person of color living within thia State, .ko., shall be fiuod not less than one thousand dol lars, and be imprisonod not less than twelve months." For committing an assault a d battery on a free person of color the same oivil tribunals nan and will try a white man, and the punishment is similar to that of having committed tho ?ame offonce on a white man, to wit : fine and impriann tnont. In the osao of the State vs. Wn LI AU HILL, 2d SPEKB, 150-onr own 8tate Beports-tbo de fendant was convicted and imprisoued for c m mitting an assault and batteiy on a freo negro, and the Court said in that case : "A false impris onment, as well as an assault and batt? ry of a free negro, is au. indictable offen-e at common law, and tnat free negroes have all tbe rights of property and protection whioh white persona pon seas, with rho exception that they cannot with force repel force;" and that it has been repeatedly so ruled as the law of South CarolinaSnd the civil tribunals of our State. Our Courts of Common Pleas and General Sessions will take cognizance thereof. Tho samo waa fully reo ?guio, d -iu the? case of tho State vs. OBAHUCS HABIBN, 2 1 SPKXU, 162; and so the civil tribunals will take cognizaueo of all oases, oither oivil or criminal, against a white man, where a free negro ia concerned. Such being tho laws of South Carolina, there fore, any offence? committed by civilians aro to be tried by tho civil tribunals of the Stute, because there aro civil tribunals in existouco in tho State which, in tho languago of the order, can try them. Courts Martial or M ilitary Cominirsions are not authorized, and cannot, therefore, try such cases under this order."' T. ? . . I'rcibyitrlan General Assemblies. The Old School Presbyterian General Assembly met at St. Lonid on the 17th, and organized by tho eloction of Rev. L. M. HOPKINS, D.D., of Now York, Moderator. Tho New behool General Assembly mot in tho same city, on tbo samo day. The Bev. Mr. STAN TON, of Ohio, was elected Moderator. Tho follow ing extract from his address upon assuming tho chair indicates the temper of the majority of the body : "That rebol spirit wbiob baa bid defianco to lawful authority during theso four years of terri ble strife tbrongh which we bavo been brought, shaking this nation to its doepest fount.!..::on, still rage? within the preoincte where it waa born the ohuroh of God. It is tuo off* using of hdreey and corruption, and all unobaritablenesu and un righteousness. "To meet this spirit promptly and courageously in tho fear of God, aud with - a rellanos upon his grace, is your manifest doty, as well na to doal direotly with those who openly set at defiance your most solemn instructions. To settle ali > hese quoations upon such firm foundation of Scriptural truth and right that tho sentiment may commend itself to the Church and give it rest; and that the common honor and glory may bo promoted." After ?overa! motions and orders, Mr. Kr?n, of Illinois, moved that for the present tho Louisville, Kentu kyt Presbytery bo oxoluded from the privi lege of voting In tho Assembly, until a committee should be appointed to investigate the disregard by that Presbytery of tbe deliverance of the lato General Assembly. W. L. BBEOHIMBIDOB, of Kentucky, moved to lay it on the table. Lost-ayos, 33; naya Lot counted ?j ?o - Tun SOPII?ME COOBT ON OONFBOKBATE: MONET.
