Tho pale, ?ilent soldier reminded her of him, that oneo called her mother,?of him, who had laid down his life iu the spring time of exis tence. ""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 faking hood of the crowd around her. "Mother, oome here with mo?do not go in to your room," .-"Kate, I eannot go out there. I cannot look at tho Yankees. They robbed me of my boy." AslKoy wcfO Vforo speaking, a crowd rush ed in. A TKoy bad destroyed QYery thing out aide; and now they were going to pillago the houso. The drawing room,' parlor, library ''and chambers wore scon torn to pieces. In tho drawing room, the portraits of Goueral Raymond and bis son were the first to attract attention. They seemed to feel unooniforta . bio, beneath tho gase of that fearless darkoyo, ?that appeared to defy them. Knives were J6peodily jerked out; and soon the portraits "woro things of tho past. Then bogau the gcu Jetal ruinV Furniture was broken up, and flung ? ^nto the' yard. Articles of value wore saved to be carried Aomc as l,relics of tbo rebel homes down South." Tho glasses in tho parlor wero .'?amashed, drawers broken open, aud tho con 't$nt?thrown over the floors; while in the ?chambers tho destruction was even inoro coin 'plets. - Tho beds were cut up, or torn to pieces. s? The. mirrors, as they reflected back tho dark faces, excited auger; and in revenge,they were shivered to atoms. Tho vandals left no corner tbuscarched; the smallest mouse-haunt was ex ?amincd, lest the ARMS they wore looking for, " should not bo found.?lo?t tho silver and fami vJy plate should remain undiscovered. No arms could be brought to light, no ??ver-xcarc could rthoy fnid. Apparently, nothing remained now to bodoflo; but the brain, ever ready with diabolical inventions, hud yet one insult to add to tho injury already inflicted. A cask of mUture,?mulatses, vinogar, and salt,?was ,? ^brought in, and soon every placo was filled with tbo disagreeable sacoharino mixture. Cloth ? was dipped into it, and scattered about the the bouefojE tl|u| out only wjlluliy depriving th ^ofoneples^J^nii'.teii of articles of prime uocc* ' ?^lyt^l^^l^gi iug t,heu)if^^^hlc^isl*of ^thib'Sfistflfnco ?tfidiarfoi?fort and 4. msrietfuecij T*ey /?bf no'i find m^f^h^-i%^0 W n>fury, thoy vented their ?ige in that maiuior. Kate w,4 ^ standing ip tho doorway of the druwlng-rooni. looking mournfully nt the r^iu and destruction around her. She heard some ono speak ; and, turning around, she suw an officer standing nenr. Touohirig his hat respectfully, ho said, "Will you be kind enough to tell mo the name of the Boldicr I have just left?" I g"Hisnamc is Willis," answered Kate, briefly. "Do you know whero ho is from ?" ngain asked the officer. "Yes, from Mississippi," replied Kate, in freezing tones, desiring to end all further ques tioning. "Thelboys havo been in bo mo mischief, I see," ho said, looking around. "Wo find it impossible to prevent it, I nBSuro you. I re gret very much, that your houso should have been searched, and things done in this man ner." "Pray mnko no apologies?wo were fully prepared for it. The example sot by your brave General is only carried out by his braver subordinates. You, I suppose, will carry off some relic too,?a relic taken from the rebel General's house." Kate spoke bitterly, and rapidly. "I have never 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. CHAPTER IV. The scene of desolation and ruin was fear ful in L?. When tho ruilrond was torn up, then began the burning of tho town. The unoccupied houses were first burned, und then tho ware-houses. The flames soon became un manageable. Fires were bursting out iu all di rections. Helpless women aud frightened children were turned out in the bitter cold night air, and not allowed to save even a blauket. Madison square. Court House square arid College square,.wore 'on fire at once. All night loug'the flames raged; everything with in fheir reach was swept away. The old brick Court Houso alone seemed to escape the des tructive element, as it leaped from house to house. A Yankee General seeing the old [house standing, so grim and dark, determined to lot it chare tho common fate. He ordered ton sholis tokbo plaoed 'in it, and it to bo then fired. The firo burned slowly, hut aia3 ! too surely. -A deafening roar shook the town, and Bjaht itsecho far out into the surrounding forests. The Court House was blown to pieces, and lay like some ruined, helpless giant, hideous iu its prostration. Tho ruin of L? was nearly com plete;?only a few suburban residences were left; aud, doubtless, they, too, would be sacri ficed before morning. Sherman had carried out his threat;?scarcely "a dog kennel" re mained in the town. Ruin aud woe. desola tiou and misery, were f?en on every hand. The homes, so recently abodes of peace and comfort, woro now smouldering piles of ashes. The helpless little ones left destitute,?the wives made widows,?will riso to sink the "Army of the Cumberland" and its General deep down in tho pit of infamy. And now let us return to Kate, tho weeping, heart-strickon mourner, who sits amid the deso lation aud ruin of her onco lovely homo. The Arn uot passed ovor the "Retreat," Credo Tai liaymond's barns, gia-houscs and out-build ings were still to be burued; aud uow, thoy have commenced to bum them. A crowd of soldiers gathered about the residence, to sco 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 her faoe. A defiant light flashed from Kate's eyes, as she stood watch ing the fire. When tho explosion took place in L?, it jarred the house, and caused a shiver to pass through their frames?a hi:'t$ light shot up, and then passed away,?died out. The burn ing of L? was a fearful sight to Kate and her mother. They could sec the tall flames, as they curled up iu mad fury, licking the dry j timbers with their fiery tongues ; then falling back only to roach higher up. A magnificent panorama, for to the cist and south, stretched j the camp-fires of tho soldiers; while tho burn ing town lay toward the west and northwest;? grand but awful, looked that picture. Hitter, heart-breaking sobs shook Kate's frame;?a prayer for vengeance rose to her lips,?;Oh ' God, let justice follow and punish the crime of this army." A coarse, rude jefit reached her ear. She remembered who were standing by her ; and in a momout; she turned off, drying her tears. She would uot let a Yankee sec her shed a tear Tho lire was still burning on the premises; but all danger to tho immediate buildings .sur rounding tho mansion was over. Thoy went into Colonel Willis' room, and found him perfectly conscious now; aud his face brightened, as he saw them approaching his^ooueb. 'Tbo Surgeon, had pnmuuuccd the wound voi'yrabvi?U?; bufr, if proper caraway takon of it, Ifo Would rccftvcV-.^^rra^ Raymond had been with him aiuee the"wound was fiict dressed, but Kato bad been trying to save some valued uieuieulocp of her brother, aud it wua the first time sho had been iu to woo liim. It was near midnight noW, ami still tho fire raged in L?. Tho room where Colouol Willis lay, faced towards that place nud the doctor, after making a few remarks' about hi;j pihjouer, be gan talking about the town. ''It is a necessity of war; wo arc obliged to adopt, theso measures, iu order to restore poace to the country." "And do you think, dootor," asked Kate, "that theso measures will restore pcaee'(" "Undoubtedly, Miss Raymond, the march through your country will havo a demoralizing effect upon your army. "Your men will natu rally desire to.couio homo; aud will desert iu large bodies. I think your nation, as you term it, has been conquered." "Rut will it bring peace ? No ! Let me npeak for the South. Von may conquer us; but wo will never live iu peace with the hated Yaukee. Tho fourth generation hence will abhor the name of Sherman and his army. The little children will bo taught to regard him as a robbor and incendiary." Tbo doctor smiled, and said, ' Ten year* from this date, you will bless the name oi Sherman." "Yes, bless him as a murderer, robber, aud j house-burner," replied Kate, iu bitter scorn. j "1 am fooling weary ; and with your per-1 mission will retire, leuving Colonel Willis iu your charge. 1 have loll anodynes on the mantle. You can administer, as direction re quires." Then bowing, the surgeon left the room. ' ' "Miss Kate, will you bring that medicine here V Kato carried it to Colonel Willis. He un corked tho bottle, und smellcd it "Throw h away: 1 ant not going to take one drop of it." t. Kato did, as she was told, aud then .-.at down at the fire. Mrs. Uaymood,seemed paraliz'od. ,.tlor eyes-had a cold, dull look: and sho up i pearcd co be couacious only of tho fact, that a I soldier was wouuded,aud in her houso. Kate's ! I eye.* brimmed over with tears, as she saw the J I sad face of her mother, clouded over withal ! deep heart-sorrow. A blight had also smitten ; I or own heart; and, leaning hor iiead oa lici-' bauds, che wept tho silent tears of burning agony. [TO DE e'ONTiNL'HD ] V A El 0 US. [from the Oha ill; lot: NV.! Tito Preservatipu of Law and Order in Charleston?Ali Important Sleeting. A meeting nf a number of the prominent citizens and tax payers of the city wan held at the Hibernian Hall yesterday aftornoo?. Mi Daniel Ravencl was called to the chair, aud General Connor stated tho objects of the meet ing. He said that there was hardly a man present who did not realizo 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. Tim municipal authority was, by its own cou ' fession, powerless. Every protection which ? the law formerly afforded was twepf awnyj and j yet at the same time :t large portion of the population was actuated by a spirit of lawless I ness, aud incited by bad men to deeds of vio lence, in order that political capital may be manufactured to iufluenco the rrcsH^ntiftl election. Nothing but the forbearance and ' self-control of our people had thus far arrested a conflict. Tbc ovil was clearly apparent. : What was the appropriaie remedy wr?> not so clear. A few gcutletnen had endeavored care fully to consider tbo question. The fin est eourso that thoy could suggest was that a number of (ho responsible and influen tial ineirbers oi' tho community should address their fellow-citizens, setting roth truthfully ! the dangers which threatened them, com.sell ing forbearance, and yet earnestly advising them to prepare themselves to proteet their persons aud property ; and that tho lion. J. 1>. Campbell should bo requested, on behalf of j his follow-citizons, to present tho address tho President of the United States, and re quest him to take such measures for the pre servation of the public peace as in his judg ment may bo deemed proper. General Connor theo read the address which ! hail beeon prepared, and which, on motion, was adopted and signed by all present, and ordered to bo published. ADDKKSS.

We couubcI them most earnestly to the continu ance of that great forbearance thoy havo hith erto manifested. Wc urge them uot to be bu : trnyed iuto resentment, which, however natural cr how much provoked, will be in many quar ters unwillingly credited.

Thoy bare bad their meetings, aud never with inter ference; thej havo voted, aud never with dis turbance; they have assembled in convention, passing a constitution for their government and ours, without interruption; und under that constitution they arc now sitting as a log* I islaluro. framing iaWc iOt tho pooplo of tho State, removing officers, imposing taxes, and exorcising the fuuotiona of legislation which involve tho property, life and liborty of the oitiy.cn, without t show of violence, without almost a complaint on the part of those who uro excluded from nil participation iu proceed ings which so deeply and intimately affect them. Rut all of this has noi been sufficient to satisfy them that the privileges so cn Joyed by thorn were completo, unices they included the absolute domination and control j of the white population: a domination and contr il so exclusive an I absolute that it would ?ace i arson and property, and oven extend i to thought and speech.

(From iho N. Y. Democrat.) Speech of Genera] Kozlny Kings County Awake. The following address wad delivered by General Kozlay, at a meeting < f tho Conserva tive Soldiers and Sailors of Kings county. To our knowledge, thcro is no county in tho Union whero tho Soldiers and Sailors are hotter organized for tho campaign than in Kings county They have ward and assembly clubs and a central Organization represented by dologatoH from the different wards of tho eouuty.

The political horieon begins to brighten* Yon . see indications of a general change; of opinion. After the second sober thoughtoomee tho reaction, and with it the triumph ol tht principles of tho Union I)emc??*ie pa?iy.= We sec, that eveu the colored population ?i* tho States, begin ut laut to discover, thnt.& was not the Republican party, wMuTisliwH?i tho chains of slavery. Tkej begi? t?V9ftA history, and find, that if tTse Southerners U*t accepted Mr. Lincoln's propositions, issued So different proclamations, and had pat dow? their arms, slavery would have existed porhsjf? till now. And if the colored population ol that Sooth have to thank some one for tho greatest! help for abolishing slavory, then they owe ft to tho stubbornness of tho Southern army, which rejected Mr. Lincoln's propositions' indignantly; losing rather their slaves than submit to our authority. They found oat of last that their salvation from sh very was baft a military necessity. They look ove? i?? Republican platform, and find themselves, k? regard to their right of suffrage, desorted ly the Radicals, and left to tho meroy offne white men. They sec, from tho acts of Con gress, that tho Froodmen's Bureau ok tbw Southern States, will be abolished on the first of January next, because tho people aro clamoring against taxation, and thoy roasoa and uny, "If the Radicals are anxious to reduco taxation, why not suspend the Bureau sooner? Surely the Radicals want our votes at the next election to keep them iu power, aud after wards they kick us out of doors." And more they see from tho so called Fourteenth Amend ment; wlii?h *.) at present a part and parcel ef ol <.ur Constitution, that is, the right ofsuf* fiag< will be governed oy the different States, and nut by the Radieai Congress. And at hist they began to feel, that their mutual In terest requires them to keep peace with tl? Southern whiles, ami send the carpet-baggon? home. In fact, the colored population every* where begin to real i/o the fact, that they have been dcs.ort.ud and betrayed by the Radicals, ami those urc the reasons why wo see the or ganization of colored clubs, in behalf of Sey mour aud lil.ir.
