Gr;cme, one of the editors of of the Richmond Whig, who was recently in Columbia, in writing up liis travels, pays the following compliment to our ladieg. The incident to which he refers, occurred at Spartanburg, and is, we are informed, < strictlv true: ?s We were told tliat "beyond Columbia, the hospatality and kindness of the ladies exceeded, if possible, that which we had already witnessed, and in illustration of the assertion I an anecdote was related to the effect that the ladies of prepared a grand collatioD, one, day, iu anticipation of . the arrival of a large number of wounded.soldiers. When the train arrived, it so happened that only one soldier was among the passengers. The ladies pressed him to the table, which c was laden' wi th " choice viands arid dessert, and invi' ^ ^fetlhuri p^rtMvcX^ Tlie soldier ex. claimed, "Ladies; since I have been in South Carolina, to-day, I have eaten seven dinners,, and cannot possibly swallow any thine' more." The s A- # C7 4 # ladies nearest to him insisted that he<should eat something, and the poor fellow, finding that "excuses were made in vain, broke from the table, darted into the woods, and has not been heard from since, at that place. The Polish Insurrection.?The Baltic Gazette gives the following statistics relating to the late insurrection in Poland, chiefly derived from official sources. During the sixteen months of the struggle 30.000 insur t MI. i i gouts were Kineci or severely-wounded"; 364 were condemned to deatli by military tribunals, and 85,000 persons less compromised were transported to Siberia. The war contributions levied were: 6,000,000 of roubles in the Kingdom of Poland, 3,000,000 in Lithuana, 2,000,000 in Volhynia, Podolla and Kiew. The National Government on its side, raised the following sums: 6,000,000 in Poland, 3,000,000 in Lithuania, 2,000,000 in Volhynia, Podolia and j Kiew, 2,500,000 in Gallacia, and 1,000,000 in Posnania.

A letter in the Augusta Sentinel gives soma of .the particulars of the evacuation of Atlanta. It says : Early on the morning of the 1st it was officially ascertained that the disaster on Wednesday evening was fully as serious as first repoitod, and that the forces of the enemy on the Macon road consisted of five full corps of infantry, with a large force of cavalry. It was also known that a large force wns south of the Chattahoochee, in the vicinity of the railroad bridge. Both of these were threatening the city, and as it would have been lolly to resist both, an evacuation wns promptly determined upon. The removal of all the supplies and ammnni lion tlmt the transportation facilities of the army would permit, commenced early Thursday, and was continued throughout the day. Large quantities of provisions were also distributed to \ the people, and at nightfall all on hand stored j in the Georgia railroad warehouse and cars on i the tiack. Throughout the day, also, the sev-; eral bodies ot troops, as they were withdrawn ; from the defences and filed through the city 1 were permitted access to the public stores.? 1 The rolling stock of tbc railroads, consisting of about one hundred cars and six engines, was concentrated near the rolling mill before dark, I audi by that hour all the troops had passed j through, with the exception of the rear guard, j I,.ft tn nmvftiit e 4 A :.. ~ ' '! iiieir withdrawal was accomplished in good order and without jot)fusion or straggling. Of course great excitement prevailed throughout lbs day, hut a moderate degree of good order obtained. A few licentious citizens and soldiers embraced the occasion to display the wickedness of their natures, but the great mass of both classes acted with the greatest decorum. The citizens who had suffered from the malice of the enemy during the bombardment looked on sorrowingly, and indulged in conjectures as to what would be their fate when once in the enemy's power, while the troops filed through the streets "with a steady fread, it is truo, but nevertheless with sotroW depleted on their weather beaten countctinnces. As to the scene that followed through the night, I can only report second-handed. The order was to burn only Government property left behind, but this would necessarily involve, the destruction of the Georgia depot, the rolling stock in the city and the rolling mill. A gentleman who loft the city early this morning informs me the depot was fired about 11 o'ciocU, and the cars, <fcc., an hour or two later. The I explosion consequent upon the firing of the ori dinance train took place about two o'clock this morning, and was hoard and felt to a great dis tance. Many citizens clinic out, but thousands remained, some because they could not get away, but many- from choice. : Tiik Position.?A few days since we re | xnarKea unit sncrmnn wfts running eight or ten trains a dor of provisions into Atlanta. The Macon Intelligencer says he is receiving over two hundred car loads of provisions daily. This is one of the beautiful fruits of the "armistice." But, what has been done in this matter cannot be undone. All we can now I do .is to vigorously prepare for the future. If the "Confederate authorities at Richmond pass a few more weeks of ease and negligence,, and refuse to take proper measures and steps for the defence ol Georgia Sherman will succeed in housing himself in Atlanta, and will not only bo in a strongly fortified position, but will have provisions enough on hand to malce it impossible to starve him out.?Augusta Chronicle.
