The ' J?5$ *Uent soldier reminded her of hint, that onco called her mother,?of him, who had lai? dowri Iiifl life in the spring time of exis tencc^ "Would this one die too?" A''dull, heavy pain made her heart ache. She turned to go into her chamber, not oaring for life, or taking hood of the crowd around her.

The drawing room,' parlor, library ' and ehambors wore soon torn to pieces. In the drawing room, the portraits of Goneral Raymond and his son were the first to attract attention. They seemed to feel unoomforta . bio, beneath tho gaie of that fearless darkoyo, that appeared to defy them. Knives were ^poedily jerked out; and soon the portraits ^woro things, of the paat. Then began the gen eral ruikv Furniture was broken up, and flung i 4PrP Articles of value were saved to bo carried home a3 "relics of tho rebel homes down South."

Tho beda wore cut up, or torn to pieces, t^ho.mirrors, as they reflected back the dark faces, exoited anger; and in rovenge,//icy were ^Shivered to atoms. Tho vandals left no corner tUnscarohed; the smallest mouse-haunt was ex amined, lest the a it ms they wore looking for, should not bo found,?lest tho silver and farai 1 ly pluto should remain undiscovered. No anus ?could bo brought to light, no silvcr-xcarc could ? titoy find. Apparently, nothing remained now tp/bodotfo; but the brain, ever ready with diabolical inventions, had yet ouo insult to add to tho injury already inflicted. A cask of iuiituvp,~-molafcses, viuogar, and salt,?was ^brought ih, and soon ovory pluco was filled with the disagreeable saccharino mixture. Cloth vwnv dipped into it, and scattered about the of ?ifcnSai?ta'n i iry, they vented thciv'wtge in that mnnnor. Kate. wasMondyig ip the doorway of the drawing-} Mou?, Idokiug mournfully at, tbe jjnm and destruction around her. She heard some one speak ; and, turning around, she saw an officer standing near. Touching his hat respectfully, ho said, "Will you be kind enough to tell uio the name of the soldier I have just left?" I {"Hisunmc is Willis/' answered Kate, briefly. "Do you know whoro ho is from ?" again asked the officer. ! "Fes, from Mississippi," ropliod Kate, in freezing tones, desiring to end all further ques tioning. "The Doys have been in somo mischief, I ! see," he'said, looking around. "We find it impossible to prevent it, I assure you. I re ,gret very much, that your houso shonld have been scarohed, and things dono in this man ner." "Pray mako no apologies?wo wore fully j pfopared for it. The example sot by your brave Groucral is only carried out by his braver subordinates. You, I suppose, will carry oil" some relic too,?a relic taken from the rebel General's house." Kate spoke bitterly, and rapidly. "I have novor touched one article of value, ?never sought lor a relic to carry home These are relics for my family," said ho, touch ing his pistols. Kate left him, and sought her mother. OnAl'TER IV. The scene of desolation and ruin was fear ful iu L?. When tho ruilroad was torn up, then began the burning of tho town. The unoccupied houses were first burned, and then tho ware-houses. The flames soon became un manageable. Fires were bursting out iu all di rcotiou8. HolpleBS women and frightened children were turucd out in the bitter cold night air, and not allowed to save ovon a blauket. Madison square, <3ourt JIou'mj s'juarc arid'College square, ^Veftf *on tiro at once. All nlgh.t loug*the flames raged; everything with in fhoir reich was swept away. Tho old brick Court House alone seemed to escape the des tructive clement, as it leaped from house to house. A Yanked General seeing the old (house "tending, so grim and dark, dctonnined to lot it share tho common fate. He ordered ten hhblis t?kbo placed Hn it, and it to bo then fired. Tho fire burned slowly, but nhu ! too surely. A deafening roar shook the town, aud s.cnfc its echo far out into the surrounding forests. The Court House was blown to pieces, and lay like somo ruiued, helpless giant, liidco'us in its prosrvation. Tho ruin of L? was nearly com plete;?only a few Buburbau residences were left; f,.nd, doubtless, they, too, would be sacri ficed before morning. Sherman had carried out his -threat;?scarcely "a dog konucl" re mained in the town. Ruin aud woe. desola tion and misory, wcro seen on every hand. The homes, so rccontly abodes of peace and comfort, woro now smouldering piles of ashes. The helpless little ones left destitute,?tho wives mado widows,?will riso to sink the "Army of the Cumberland" and its General deep down in tho pit of infamy. And now let us roturn to Kate, tho weeping, heartrstrickon mourner, who sits amid the deso lation and ruin of her once lovely homo. The firo h?? not passed over tho "Retreat," Gene ral Ivnymond's barns, gia-houscs and out-build ings wero still to bo burned; aud now, they have commenced to burn them. A crowd of | soldiers gathered about the residence, to soc! the frightened faces of tho mother and daugh ter, who had como out to watch the progress of tho firo, and were standing on the piazza. Mrs. Raymond was pale, and a oold, stony look had settled on hor faoe. A defiant light flnshod from Kate's eyes, as ?ho stood watch- j ing tho fire. When tho explosion took place in L?, it jarred tho house, aud caused a shiver to pass j through their frames?a lurid light shot up, and then passed away,?died out. The burn - \ ing of L? wa3 a fearful sight to Kate and her mother. They could soc tho tall flames, as! they curled up in mad fury, licking tho dry timbers with their fiery tongues ; then falling back only to roach higher up. A magnificent pauoramn, for to the oast aud south, stretched the camp-fires of the soldiers; while tho burn ing town luy toward the west and northwest;? grand but uwful, looked that picture. Bitter, hcart-breakiug sobs shook Kate's frame;?a prayer lor vengeance rose to her lips,?:-(_)h ! God, let justice follow and punish the crime i of this army." A coarse, rude jest reached her ear. She ! remembered who were standing by her; and in a moment; she turned off, drying her tears. She would not let a Yankee sec her shed a tear The lire was still burning ou tho promises; but all daugor to tho immediate buildings jur rounding tho mansion was over. They wont into Colonel Willis' room, and found htm perfectly conscious no# ; aud his face brigl?toucd,'as ho saw them approaching his^ooubh. ^ The Surgeon. b?id pro|*ouuoc4 fjio wound ,\vs?yf?&Tid?i?; but; /IF proper 'Cure-.wus eikon'of'it, Ho* would rcc5voV:*^MTrf> Raymond had been with him'sinee thVwouud wus first j dressed, but Kato Lad been trying to savc^oino valued uiotmmtpe.?? of bor brother, aud it was j the first time she hnd bccu in to seo hitu. It ! wus near midnight now, and still the fire raged in L?. The room where Colouel Willis lay, j faced towards that place and the doctor, after I muking a few remarks about his priBonor, bc I gun talking about the town. ''It is a uocoseiiy of war; we are obliged to adopt theso measures, ill order to restore poace to the couutry." "Aud do you think, doctor," asked Kato, "that theso ineasuros will restore peace?" "Undoubtedly, Miss Raymond, tho march through your country will havo a demoralizing effect upon your army. "Your men will natu rally desire tu .come home; aud will desort iu large bodies, t think your nation, as you term it, has been conquered." j "But will it briug peace ? No! Let me spoak for tho South. You may conquer us; I but wo will never live, in peace with the hated j Yaukcc. The fourth generation hcuce will abhor the name of Shnrmau and his army.

' "Yes, bless him as a murderer, robber, aud j house-burner,'' replied Kate, in bitter scorn. "I am feeling weary ; and with your per mission will retire, leaving Colonel Willis in your charge. I have left anodynes on tho mantle. You can administer, as direction re quires." Then bowing, the surgcou left the room. ' ' I "Mies Kate, will yon bring that medicine here ?"

[TO BE CONTINUE!).] ~~ iii i o ?7s~7I Z [from tho Charleston News.] The Preservation of Law and Order in Charleston?An Important Sleeting*. A meeting of a number of the prominent citizens and tax payers of the city was held at the lliberniau Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Daniel Ravencl was called to the chair, and General Connor stated tho objects of the meet ing, no said that there was hardly a man present who did not roalixo the anomalous and perilous condition in which the community was living. There was not within the State a single court organized for the trial of offenders. The municipal authority was, by its own eou fession, powerless. Every protection which the law formerly afforded was swept away,- and j yet at the same time a large portion of the population wan actuated by n spirit of lawlcss j uess, and incited by bad .v.ion to deeds of vio [ lencc, in order that political capital may be I manufactured to iulluonco the Presidential I oleotion. Nothing but tho forbeanmeo and ! self-control of our people had thus far arrested I a conflict. Tho ovil was cloaily apparent. : What wns tho appropriaie remedy was not so clear. A few gentlemen bad endeavored care fully to consider the question. The wis est course that they could suggest was that a number of tue responsible and influen tial incirbcrs of the community should address their fellow-citizens, setting forth truthfully I the dangers which threatened them, counsell ing forbearance, aud yet earnestly advising ! them to prepare themselvcb to protect their I porsous and property ; and that the lion. J. B. Campbell should be requested, on behalf of his fellow-oitizons, to present tho address to tho President of the United States, and re I quest hiui to take such measures for the pre servation of the public peace as in his judg ment, may bo deemed proper. General Connor then read the address which had beeen prepared, and which, on motion, was adopted and signed by all proseut, and ordered to be published. ADDRESS, The disturbance of the public poace which has marked the proceedings of a port ion of the population of this city ; the threats and the preparations which are uttered aud made, and indicate a fixed purpose to inaugurate aud ".prosecute acts of violence, and wrong; the iu .tolerance* which lias' iuteruptod meetings of ciuromCpwy-eably conducted, uud<lbrootl thorn to terminate fhoii* -proceedings^ j/ubnfitting to this indignityand wrong rather than by insist- ' j iug on*their rights, furnish an occasion for tu 1 mult tiuj riot.

With the solemn eouvietiop that so great a calamity is new impending over us??-with no party ah temper, and with no reference to-polilk-ol opinions or parties; in tent only, but deeply intent, upon t' o protec tion of persons and property; of persons of all classes; of prflperty, t.> whomsoever belonging; wo are forced by convictions we houcstlv cu tcrtuin, by apprehensions which we cahuot dis regard, to waru our fellow-citizens of the groat danger with which they ore threatened. We eouusel them most earnestly to the continu ance of that great forbearance they havo hith erto manifested. Wc urge them uot to ba be trayed into resentment, which, however natural er now much provoked, will be in many quar ters unwillingly credited. Hut wc do in the same temper, aud consistently with that for rjearau.ee, and the control of that resentment, ad vise'"''them of the necessity, the imperative necessity that tu our opiuiou exists, for Iheni to protect themselves, in their persons'and their property! Tjio threats of inecridiariam nij'd/bf violeuce, of rapine and spoliation, aro l,?i??MV confiiictt.to the secret conclave ;o but ??Vj uttered to inflame,the 1 passions*of a*p?*?u h'^iif, nntiappuv too' credulous and too easily kuisguided and betrayed. Tho appeals which hayc boon- Ibu? -mailo: appeals which have been made in public presse?, and repoated in every manner in which they could most deeply excite those (o.wfiom thuy wore addressed; have, unhappily for,u:-. and ks?unhappily for those who are tfte victims )f bad and desigu ing men, produced their unfortunate results. And a population new in the enjoyment of ?heir froctknn ; ncv: in tho i njbymeut of the highest privileges .of tho citizen j, have been tired with t; sentiment of hoslilUy to the white population of the city and the State, aud taught that their freedom could only bo se cured by the most degrading vassalage of tho white citizens^ of tho State. Wo do most hon estly and unresorvodly doelaro, that so far as wo have any knowlcdgo or belief, iuterferouoe has uovoi been attempted by the whito citizens of this city or State with the fullest exercise by tho frt'cdmen, individually or collectively, of all tho rights, civil aud political, which thoy asserted as belonging to tlicui. They have had iln-ir meetings, and never with iutor ference ; they have voted, aud never with dis turbanco; they have asscrr.Llcd in Convention, passing a constitution for thoir government and ours, without, interruption; uud under that ooustitutiou they are uow sitting us a log idinturoj framing kw3 for tho pooplo of tho State, removing officers, imposing taxes, and oxereining the functions of legislation which involve the property, life aud liberty of the citizen ; without a show of violence, without almost a complaint on the part of those who are es eluded from all participation iu proceed ings which so deeply aud intimately affect them. But all of this has not been sufficient to satisfy them that the privileges so on joyod by them were complcto, unless they j included the absolute domination and control of the whito population: a domination and control so exclusive and absolute that it would embrace person and property, aud even extend to thought aud speech. To this coudition is the white population of the city now at this time reduced; and iu this condition they are ti rei d '.>' sec the evidence of a further purpose, to enforce this denial to them of every privi lege, aud to hold every right which belongs to them subjoet tn the caprice of those wbo arc the dupes and victims of the bad men who have poisoned their hearts; and for the most hellish aud b.;se purposes, destroyed for them t'.. i comfort, contentment aud happiness they might, have enjoyed Wo who now speak to you, whom you well know, whose motives you will not misunder stand, repeat to you the warning of the danger with which you a?o threatened. There is no organized and reliable foreo iu the-State by which you can ^ gvytutted. The police force of the city is utterly inadequate^ to socqro the peace, against sntdi,combinations as threaten its continuance. Aud until, and uulcss the 1'resi d'-nt of the Uujtcd, Stut03. as the oomniandor in*chicf of tbo army and navy of the United States, lias power, under tho conctitutiou and laws j of tho Unh^rd States?^'provide' at ? tho presou t' tiine, tri somV'Intwd^ for .$o]f r* ^tef6? tjon, we do not know where it can bo found outside of such defense as you cm uako for yourselves,,, .?>fi,.*-rf ;a ? ^ailq?*? il* Wo uocd not advise, we ore sure, without advice, that yon will in no wise interfere with or disturb tho enjoyment of any right' or privi lege whioh has been given to any poreon- or olass of persons.

These rights none can deny, and none can take them away or impair the free exercise and enjoyinerit of them.' Your moderation, combined with calmness and firmness, may happily enable ail to escape the danger of strife aud collision. God grant that it may be so ! But with whatever earn estness wo cherish tho hope, we havo no assur ance that the hopo will be realized. It id for others, not for us, to decide the question. But it is for you. in any and every contingency, to ho. able to show, that you havo not been the aggressors; that you have done no wrong; violated no law ; outraged no proprioty.

(From tho N. Y. Democrat.)

To our knowledge, there is no county in tho Union whero tho Soldiors and Sailors are hotter organized for the campaign than in Kings county.
