We have received", through the kindness of a friend, a recent copy of the New South, a Yankee sheet, published at Port Royal, S. C. It contains some rare and interesting specimens of Yankee impudence. Without comment, we give our readers the priVilege of judging for themselves. Listen what the pious editor says of the destruction of Columbia: DESTITUTION IN COLUMBIA. Within the past week we have had numerous instances of parties. coming in from Columbia, representing the suffering of the citizens of that place to be truly fearful, it wiU be remembered th^t all but one hundred building? of that beautiful city were destroyed. This ruin, however, for. the most part, was oecasioned.by the rebels themselves who set fire to piles of cotton* knowing very -well that the "flames would inevitably spread through the whole place.?'? In each of the one hundred buildings is assembled a group often or twelve families, mostly women and children, who are dependant on a few male citizens to .+r " ? T-.?n Vi 53 *??rPS? nto- fhe country and gather up what they qan find. But it appears the supply of provisions, throughout ifchat settim* has become exhausted; and nothing.but starvation was left for the "inhabitants until prompt measures were taken here by .the army and navy, to send them assistance. - As will be observed by the following note the monitor CatslnU alone contributed the sum of 8143 50 for the benefit'of the sufferera: ? * Messrs. Editors of the Courier: Gbutlemen?Permit me to.acknowlOdge, with man/thanks, through your paper, the receipt'of one hundred and forty-three dollars andflfty cents ($143,50,) from the officers and creW of the j U. S. Monitor "Catskill/1 for the rivl lief of the suffering citizfchsef Columbia. Geo. W. Williams. March 14,1865. Mr. Geo. W. Williams whose name appears attached' to the note is a prom-1 inent?

The whole amount'subscribed'ifi the South Atlantic Squadron. Creeds something over $2f000. The ariAy have also raised a considerable sum, so that patties having relatives and friends in Columbia .will receive assurance that' they will not be avowed to.starve as lone asrUn- j ion sailors and soldiers are in tie vi&ti- j itj. The fact of Tthe rebel forces robbing the inhabitants of Columbia of all the provisions that the place contained, then firing the buildings and leaving the women and children to take care of themselves as best they, could is a commentary on thb depravedjattd barbarous practices resorted to by the chivalry of the South. ' * '* See how cleverly the assertion irmade that the "rebels themselves" destroyed Columbia, and robbed its citizens to such an* extent that "nothing but starvation was left for .the inhabitants until prompt measures'were taken here by the * * v'ii - army and navy to send tnem assistance. < "SJpiat elevated humanity this, to feed' the rebel families their own soldiers have rendered destitute; and how very. kind for them to convey the Assurance to those who have friends in Columbia that they shall noj; suffer. The same paper also circuities the exploits of a# certain M. D. Parker, more, widely than tftfc latter individual could possibly desire perhaps. See how he shows him up; HOW A COSSCBIP?

Ut UU1UU JLUOJU^XiVm WV vvvj merly connected with the Charleston Hotel arrived within our lines. During the early stages of the rebellion, Mr. Parker excited the suspicions . of the authorities by giying expression to Union sentimonts. At length, by an unfortunate occurrence, it was discovered that Mr. Parker was in correspondence with another Union man wholiyed in the Interior. This led to his arrest and imprisonment, and he remained m jail until a few days before the evacuation of Charleston. "He was then taken to Columbia, the military, commandant of the place having special instructions to keep a strict-watch over"his movements. Columbia he was conscripted into the rebel ranks, but with heroic pluck he publicly declared he would not serve in the army, and did not hesitate to express hie determination to escape when* ever a fitting opportunity presented itself. On the evacuation of Columbia,. Parker, with other conscripts, was ordered to maroh toward North Carolina, and..when the party arrived at Shelby all huf 1-wA n-Pllie\ Pnll nnf aP OrlX UUl WtlW V* W1V HUlUMVX IViA VUU V/X VUV ranks from exhaustion and Were left on the road. The guard, too, having become excessively fatigued, were less attentive in their duties, so that Parker did not find it a difficult matter to effect his escape. In coming to Charleston Mr. Parker traveled.over four hundred miles,'on foot. He says the country through, which he passed has been tbor* oughly sacked of provisions by both the Union and the rebel forces. He left Columbia .on the 7th inst. There was not. a rebel soldier between that place and Charleston. It was stated that the rebel General R. S. Ripley had been appointed Chief of Artillery in Joseph E. Johnston's army. The rolling stock of the South Carolina, and. the Charleston and Savannah railroadsjhad been removed to Sumter, S. C.

J ' fficial; According to the same, paper, the citizens of Charleston are "taking the. oath of allegiance at such a rate, that the five offices in the city where the oathn is administered, have been thronged from morning till night with applicants.
