L.,- en that day, the . h.e of the deputation from the 4Jsued;weot,out to meet Generail Sher snan-f*r the purpose ofsnrrendeoang the city, wgb iia ?ilt following letter: - , S CFebruary 17, 1865. 4bN X ral Sarmn:~ - Thetssiederate forces having evacuated Columbia, Ideemtitnmy duty, as Mayor'>and rersW enItative of the edty,sto ask for its- ci'. os-the treatmeii accorded by the usa.ges of iWilised warfare. i, therefore, respectfully aeist that you will send a sidEcient guard ~asdeuce of the prmy, to maintain order in b*e ehy, ad its protect the persons atad pro '?VfpcCtful31 - 'Your obedient scr.vant Signed T. G3. GO001WYiN, Mayor." The depulation met:the advance guard of sh reny, -un:der -olaui Stq.ne --Fiteut Corps-outside of the city, and Colonel Stone returned with them to the town in their Car riage. The Mayor reports that on surrendering the city to Colonel Stone, the latter assuied him of the safety of the citizens, and the pro tection of their property while under his com mand. Ile could not answer for General Sherman, who was in the rear, but he express ed the conviction that he would fully confirm the assurances which he (Colonel Stone) had given. Subsequently General Sherman did confirm them, and that night, seeing that the Mayor was exhausted by the labors of the day, he counselled him to retire to rest, eay ing, "Not a finger's breadth, Mr. Mayor, of your city shall be harmed. You may lie down to sleep, satisfied that your town shall be as safe in my hands as if wholly in your own." * * * "At about eleven o'clock the had of the column reached Mar kft Hall. Hardly had the troops reached the bead of Main-steet when the work of pillage was begun. Stores were broken open in the presence of thousands within the first hour after their arrival. No ttempt was iade to arrest the burglars. The authorities, officers, soldiers, all seemed to consider it a matter of course. Arrd woe to him who carried a watch with gold chain pendant, or who wore a choice hat, or overcoat, or boots, or shoes. He was stripped by ready experts in the twinkling of an eye." * * * * * "About twelve o'clock the jail was discovered to be on fire from within. T,-s building was immediately in the rear of the market or City HUll, and in a densely - built portion of the city. * * * - The fire in the jail had been preceded by that of some cottol piied in the streets. Both fires were soon subdued by our firemen. At about 1A o'clock P. M., that of the jail was rekindled and was again extinguished." * * * ".The experience of the firemen in putting out the tire in the cotton in the jail was of a sort to discourage their further etffrts. They were th wartedI and embarrassed by the con tinued interference of the soldiery. Finally, their hose was ebopped with swords and axes, and pierced with bayonets so as to be render ed useless. The engines were in some cases demolishcd al.o. And so the miserable day wore on in pillage, insult, and constant con fusion and alarm. We have shown that the robberv of the persons of citizens and the plundcf* of their houses commenced within an,: 10:r after they had reached the Market Hall. It continued without intermissioi throughout the day. Sherman tr4versed the streets everywhere, so did his officers, yet they saw nthia'g to-rebuike or restrain." Robbery % as going on at every corner, in every lrouse, yet there was - no censure, no pAi,e4* * fihst fies at evening wa.4one about dark, which broke out i-I a filthy portion of low houses, ie-cupicd mostly as brothels. - There were then sotive tweity fires in full blast, in as many differeit quarters, at nearly the sate miotuent, and while the alarm sounded from these quarters, a similar alarm was sent up aluost simiultaneously..fruin Cotton Town, the northernmot li:nit Uf t!1 city, and from Main street, in its very centre. * * * "The -wretehes engaged. in this. appointed incendi arism wecre well prepared with- all the appli ances essential to their work. They carried with them from bouse to house pots and ves sels containing combustible lhquids, and with balls of fire saturated in this liquid, they com veyed t he flamues. with wonderful rapidity frdm dwelling to d welling." * * * "What remained from the morning of engines and hose were brought out by the firemen, but thse were soon driven from their. labors by the pertinacious hostility of the incendiaries. Engines were tumbled over and disabled, the home was hewn. to piece.s, and the firemen, dreading worse Iusge to themselves, left the field in dlespair * * "Old men and women and children were to be ~seen, often while the flmnes were rolling and raging around them while walls were cracking and. rafters totter ing and tumbling, in the endeavor -to save their clothing and some of their mnore valua ble effects. They were dri;en out headlong, pistols clapped to their heads, violent hands laid on throat and collar, and the .ruffia'ns seemed-to make but littLie distinction in their treatment of man and wodraid Ladies were hustled from their chambers under the strong arm or with their menacing pistol- at their hearts. -Their ornaments plucked fr6m their brasts-their bundles taken from their lands." * * "A lady undergoing pains atlab&i had to be borne out, on a mattrass into the open air to escape the fire. It was dak vain -that her situation. was described to the inicen liauie&gas -they applied the torch -wntlin aedwitboeuthe -house.. they - beheld the-eituio f deb. sufferer aud laughed to scon'-the prayer for her safety. Another lad'was but reeentlyeonftned. Her life hung apon a hair. The demons were pprised of the facts in the case. They burst into her chamber-took rings from the lady's fingr, pucked the watch from beneath her pillow, shrieked .iffeinsive langua in her ears, arid so overwhelmecd her with terror that she sank under the.treatmgent, surviving but a day or two." * * "The churches were at fit st sought by- many --streams of population. Thither the hellish perseverance of the fiends followed them, and the Churches of God were st on flame. Again driven forth, numbers made their way into the recesses of Sydney Park, and here fancied to find security. But the ingenuity of-hate and malice was not to be~ baffled; and firebrands thrown from the height into the deepest hollows of . the Park tughit the wretched fugitiges to'despair of any escape from enemies of such unwearied and unreLsit ting rage !" But enouigh of this atrocity; the bare recital of whiich makes humanity shudder, the heart grow sick. Surely enough- has been quoted from tbe narrative of these horrors to prove that General Sherman alone is responsible for the destruction of Columbia, and for the many other atrocities committed by his army. He delares that the fires set by my order con sumed the city. I have shown how false i: this statement; but even i! it were true, howi does he clear himself of the guilt of burning private dwellings outside of the city limits! Early in the afternoon of the day be entered Columbia, my hoiisg, wvhich was two milei from the city, was fired; soon after the housea of Mr. Trenhoim, Gen. Lovell, Mrs. Stark. lr W alace, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Latta and Mrs. Enhg fate. GeneralSherman cannot deny that these houses were burned by his men, nor cati he deny that h destroyed, in part, or in whole, the villages of Barnwell, Blackville, Graham, Bamberg. Buford's Bridge, Orangeburg, Lex ington, Alston, Ponaria, Winnsboro, Black stocks, Society Hill, Camden and Cheraw. Does not the fate of these unoffending towns give the lie to his disclaimer of any agency in burning this city? Along the line of march followed by him there is scarceiv one house left standing, from the Savannah River to the Pee Dee, and yet he dared to declare solemnly that he did not burn Columbia ! I do not wonder that he should strive to escape the infamy which, like the leprosy of Gehar.1, shall cleave unto him and unto his seed forever,'or the commission of this dark deed. Nor am I surprised that he should naturally seek to escape by taking refuge behind a falsehood. But he shall not with impunity make me the scapegoat for his sins. Wherever he has taken his army in this State, women have.been insulted or out raged, old men have been hung to extort from them hidden treasure. The fruits of the earth have been destroyed, leaving starvation where plenty once reigned, and the dwellings of rich and poor alike have been laid in ashes. For these deeds history m ill brand him as a robber and incendiary, and will deservedly "dawn him to everlasting fame." I am, your obedient servant, WADE HAMPTON, Lieutenant-General. Ex-Governor Allen on E. A. Pollard. The following article, from the pero of Ex Governor Allen, of Louisiana, and now editor of the Merican T'ime, is clipped from that pa-. per of the >th of January. It. is a compo sition worthy of the immortal Junius. In its power, in its force of bitterness and sentiment, it is an unequaled piece of writing of the per sonality of the article we have nothing to say, but submit it to our readers as a specimen of imost extraordinary composition. The civil war in America is ended, and the "banner of the bars' that waved over Jacksoin and gleamed upon the track of Stuart's rek less riders has been put away as men Lido tbe I t inkets of a dear, dead love. Although the blood of Virginia's best and bravest is not yet dry in the vall"ys, nor has the grass grown < ver the piriature graves of the manly Confedeiates who fell before.Peters? burg, yet Mr. E. A. Pollard, a preity writer aid talented editor, in a long newspaper ar ticle, denounces ex President Davis, Generals Lee, Johnstan and Beauregard, and says "the Southern people disgraced themselves forever when they refused to fight to extermination; that they lack coura-e and endurance-states mnliiiiifaence." H~ erIticises cam paigns, ridicules str-ategical novemients, sneers at reticats, and laughs at every heroic' cfort of the brave inca who have left to history an imml-oral namne. Who is Mr E. A. Pollard? -le is a Virgin ian, the editor of the Richmond Examiner, I and the author of the "Southern History of the War." We have grief for the first, lash es for the second, and-contempt for the last. During all those years of carsage and of blood, this Richmond Examiner was an itisati ate fiend of opposition anId hatred. Step by step it broke down the brave, fond heart of Sidner Johnston; again and again it lacerated and gored the sensitive soul of Beauregard; week after week it denoutnced the heroic ef fot 'fJseph E. Johnston.; and now, when Jeffso Davis ichneamdte waves of hi .okribbed pri. or, itretostab-his rep utati)n and his honor. It is not often that men like Pollard and Jordan can gloat over ths agony of such a spirit anid the degredation of such a name. rt is not often -that such a bosongas Lee's is laid bare for the thrust of every ruffian's spear, or the dagger of every coward's hand. It is not often that a desola ted nation writhes under the blows of its children and the cruelties of itsown offspring. It is: not often that the woFldfurnishes hiumnin hvenas'to e'xhume the the bodies .of her sainted'dead, and howl in horrid delight over, the revolting feast. Pollard wanted extermination, but. be was in New York eity, hob-nobbing with Greeley, and telling the pileasanit story in his- pleasant way of the four years' war. He-witted fifty thousand mcn to fight-a million to the death, but he.never full Iii beside themn and proffered to share a common fate. Like. Job's war horse,*he snuffed the battle froua afar! Shod dy is cheap, and humbug is cheap, and Henry ~Ward Beecher's patent sermons are dheap ; and sincerity, faith hono', chivalry, manhood ! ho* pure and unpopuTar.> Pollarfds mnoiker State lies -prostrate.in the dust, her hearth-stones desolate and her idol sa.tered. All over the land he can see her breaved daughters weepinig- or. the yQunlg, fresh fades that. looked tack to them from the heat and yellow dustaf the conflict just before the horses' feet trod -them down. He can al most hear the breezes from the Wilderness singing their -melancholy. dii ges over Stuari and Ashiby, arnd Pelhaw, and ill, an~d Jack son, dear to God. He has no love, nor venler aton, nor tehndernless, nor pity for any ol thc,e; but tearing open the graves of the im. mortalized dead, he blends thema with the liv ing in one sacriligiou anathegteptu ous hatred. IDrape the picture of-a nation in its agony4 and cover its laurels with the mourng cy press. Furl the conquered banner wvith a farewell look, and shriiie its memory in om heart of hearts; but to the brutal hardihooi of those who curse and villify .a ruined race. give vengeance, scorn, and a-never-dying cou tempt. H;istory tells how Coriglanus halted his vie torious legions beyondI the Yellow Tiber, but that Nero fi.idled a goodly tune while Romi was burning. Amid the graves of his kin dred, the anguish and despair of brave men ii their crushing overthrow, amid the bhii ~skies and green fields-of his nativity, E.

The following is the letter of Major,General Sherman on the burning of Columbia, S. C., an abstract of which says the Charleston -ews, has already been published in our columns. It will be seen that he is opposed to the payment of Southern war claims of even the imost worthy character, though he expresses sympathy for those who sustained losses: IIEADQ'IkS MIL. Div. oF TuE. MISSIssiPPI, j St. Louis, Mo., March 8, 1866. ' Benj. Raawl, Colu1bia, S. C.. Dear Sir-I have your. letter enclosing aI petition to the Congress of the United States, I asking to be indeuinified for the loss by fire1 of your house and contents at the time of our occupation in February, 1865. I assure you, that I feel deeply for you and all otfiers who lost their property in the tire; but if the Uni ted States. were to assume the liability, it would be an admission that we had done, wrong. This is not true. The rightful authority of the National Govej nmient had -beef resisted in the StatC6 of South Carolina for years, and we- were com pelted, at a great cost of life and money, to conduct thither a vast armny, and our progress was resisted by all the force the State could obtain. Your own citizens resisted our ap proach, not only with arms, but by burning the bridge over the Edisto, Congaree, Saluda and Woud Rivers. They burned the depot in Columbia before we entered the city, be 'cause it'conttined corn and storts they sup posed we-needed, and set fire to thousands of bales of cotton rolled out into the streets,and 1-.wbich wete burning before we, entered Co lumjbia. I myself was in the city as early as noon, and saw those fires, and know that ef forts were inade to extingtrish" them,' but:a high and strong 'wind kept thein alive.- I gave no orde: for the burning yf Jour city, but, on the contrary; the reverse, and I be lieve the c6nfiagrati -on resulted from the great imprudence of cutting the cotton bales, where by the contents were spread by the winds, so that it becamen imtaposibility to arrest the fire. I saw in -your Columbia newspapers "the pi inted order of General-Wade Hangton;tbat on the approach of the Yankee army all the cotton bhould be burne,. and, from what I saw myself, have nu'besitation in. saying that he was the cause,of'dhe destruction of your property. Your trUe-remedy is against him, and such others of. your own citizens as con spired with him and - made the military,occu pation et -ohr city ani a teectssity I 1ardy t1mk -it. is-ai' thar- Cowgress -stroif tax taipeople of Ohio,'ll1inois and 'Misoti to pay such losses; but as it is not my pro vi6ce to judge in such wtters, I send your petltion according to its address. I again assure.you -of my perso.nal symnpa thy by reason 'of your age and infirmity, but this mest not lead me to endorse a wrong principle. - amwith great.respect, your obedient servant, W.-T.

Thc down train from Kansas City- did' not arrive at Jeffe,rson Ci;y until 10r o'clock on Wednaesday night, and the sickness of a mem-~ ber'of my 'family compelled me to leave there that fearfully coldl night for Si. Louis. The train consisted of six cars, all well filed with passengers, among whom- -were two new ly married couples, who started off from points above when the knot wats tied, on matrimo nial excursions. Nothing worthy of-note oc curred until we had reached. within about Iour miles of IIermann, whieb we did between 12' and 1 o'clock~ Thursday-morning, the recollec tidq of which will:, the longest day I live, be ind 1i6Iy impressed -on- my memiory. The thermometer must have been several degrees below zero,r the passengers -were crowded around the stove, some lying down; endearci' ing to .s!eep, others- standing, holding their feet to get warm, and others who -could not get near the fires in consequence of there be ing nio available space for them to creep in, were stampingon the floor,' endeavoring by that means,to keep the. blood in~circulation, and catrse some degree^of warmth to perva'de. the inferior members, who,all in a second, and before any one omlboard h4time'tonmnake ,n exclanation, the cars commxieonce4-jumping to each a fe~arful pitch'that the fires in the stoyes werl nckdabdut thieftoor; the latniis were alblowuj out, an 'seveial of thte passenger t hatr had been stan'ding'around tie lFae% were ~eiter.tambl,dstnto those whw~eegpied seats itheir-imme~&dat:iciniti cpmi,lleto hold on with hands andltet twsrset 1 lenches wtmreach.
