respectfully request that you will send a sufficient guard in advance of the army, to maintain order in the city, and to proteot the persons and property of citizens. "Very respectfully, "Your obedient servant, "[Signed] T. J. Goodwin, Mayor." The depuation met the advance guard of i the enemy, undor Colonel Stone?Fifteenth j Corps?outside of the city, and Colonel i Stone returned with tbem to the town io their carriage. The Mayor reports that on surrendering the city to Colonel Stone, the latter assured j him of the safety of the citizens, and the protection of their property while uDdcr : his command. He conld not answer for General Sherman who was in the rear, but j be expressed the conviction that he would I fully confirm the assurances which he (Col. 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 j retire, saying, "Not a finger's breadth, Mr. ! Mayor, of your city shall be harmed. You . may lie down to sleep, satisfied that yocr town shall be as safe in my bunds as if ; wholly is your own " * * * | "At about eleven o'clock the bead of the column reached Market Hall. Hardly had i the troops reached the head of Mam-street when the work of pillage was begun ? Stores were broken open in the presence of thousands within the first hour after their arrival. No attempt was made to arrest the burglars. The authorities, officers, soldiers, all seemed to consider it a matter of course. And woe to him who carried a watch with j gold ohain pendant, or who wore a choice j hat, or overcoat, or boots, or shoes. He j was stripped by ready experts in the twink- I ling of an eye." * * * "About; twelve o'clook the jail was discovered to be on fire from within. The building was immediately in the rear of the market or City Hall, and in a densely built portion of the city * *. * The fire in the jai^ had been preceded by that of some cotton : piled in the streets. Both fires were soon subdued by our firemeu. At about 1J ! o'clock P. M., that of the jail was rekin : died and was again extinguished." * * , "The experience of the firemen in putting out the fire in the cotton in the jail was of a sort to discourage their further efforts. They were thwarted and embar- i assed by the continued interference of the soldiery. Finally, their hose was chopped i with swords and axes, and pierced with bayonets so-as to be rendered useless The engines were in some cases demolished also And so the miserable day wore ou in pil- j lage, insult, and constant confusion and alarm We have shown that the robbery of the persons of citizens and the pluuder I of their houses commenced within one hour i after they had reached the Market Hall ? It continued without intermission'through- ; out the day. Sherman traversed the streets everywhere, so did his officers, yet they saw nothing to rebuke or restrain." * * * "Kobbery was goiug ou at every corner, in every house, yet there was no censure, no punishmcut." * * * * * X JL UJUUq bUb utOk u i wo ?v vt vuiug nuw wuv about dark, which broke out in a filthy portion of low houses, occupied mostly as brothels. There were theu some twenty fires in full blast, in as many different quarters, at nearly the same moment, and while the alarm was sounded from these quarters, j a similar alarm was sent up almost simulta- j neously from Cotton Town, the northenmost i limit of the city, and from Maiu-street, in . its very centre." * * * "The wretch- | es engaged in this appointed incendiarism were well prepared with combustible material and the flames spread with wonderful j rapidity from dwelling to dwelling." * j * * "What remained from the morning of engines and hose, were brought out j by the firemen, but these were soon driven from their labors by the pertinacious hos- j tility of the incendiaries. Engines were tumbled over and disabled, the hose was hewn to pieces, and the firemen, dreading worse usage to themselves, left the field in ; despair. * * * ??01d men and women and cbil- j dren were to be seen, often while the flameB were rolling and raging around them? j while walls wero cracking and rafters tot | tering and tumbling, in the endeavor to | save their clothing aud some of their more valuable effects. They were driven out; headlong, pistols clapped to their heads, I violent hands laid on throat and collar, and the ruffians seemed to make but little dis- : tinction in their treatment of man and wo- j man. Ladies were hustled from their j chamber under the strong arm or with their j menacing pistols at their hearts. Their or- t naments plucked from their breasts, their : bundles taken from their hands." * * ; "A lady undergoing the pains of labor had to be borne out on a mattress into the opeu air to escape the fire. It was in vain that her situation was described to the incendiaries, as they applied the torch within and with oat the hodso. ?IbayiiaWW the situation ' of the sufferer and laughed to soorn the 1 prayer for her safety. Another lady was j but recently confined. Her life hung upon a hair. The demons were apprised of the facts in the case. They burst into her chamber?took rings from the lady's finger, plucked the watch from boneatb her pillow, shrieked offensive language in her ears, and so overwhelmed her with terror that she sunk under the treatment, surviving but a day or two." * * "The churches were at first sought by many streams of population. Thither the hellish persever- j ance of tho fiends followed them, and the Churches of God were set on flame. Again driven forth, numbers made their way into the recesses of Sydney Park, and here fancied to And security. But the ingenuity of hate and malice was not to be balfled, and firebrands thrown from the height into the dccpost hollows of the Park taught the wretched fugitives to despair of any escape \ from enemies of such unwearied and unre- i mitting rage!" But enough of this atrocity, the bare recital of which makes humanity shudder, the heart grow sick. Surely enough has been quoted from the narrative of these horrors, to prove that General Sherman 1 alone is responsible for the destruction of Columbia, and for many other atrocities committed by his army. He declares that tho fires set by my orders consumed the city. I have shown how false is that statement j but even if it were true, how does he clear himself of the guilt of -burning I private dwellings outside of the city lim i its? Early in the afternoon of the day be i entered Columbia, my house, whioh was two miles from the city, was fired ; soon t after the houses of Mr. Trenholm, General 1 Lovell, Mrs. Stark, Dr. Wallace, Mr. Ar- j I thur, Mr. Latta and Mrs. English all in !1 the same vicinity shared the same fate.? i1 General Sherman cannot deny that these ' 1 houses were burned by his men, nor can : he deny that be destroyed, in part, or in i whole, the villages of Barnwell, Blackville, 1 Graham, Bamberg, Buford's Bridge, Or- ( augcburg, Lexington, Alston, Pomaria, Winosboro', Blaokstocks, Society Hill, 1 Camden and Cheraw. Does not the fate of 1 those unoffending towns give the lie to his disclaimer of any agepcy in burning this city ? 1 Along the line of maroh followed by him ( there is scarcely one house lett standing, from the Savaonah River to the Pee Dee, and yet he dared to declare solemnly that he. did not burn Columbia ! I do not won- , der that be should strive to escape the in- 1 faniy which, like the leprosy of Gehaxi, shall oleave unto him and unto his seed forever, for the commission of this dark i 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 outraged, old men have been hung to ex- , tort from them hidden treasure. The fruits i of the earth have been destroyed, leaving 5 starvation where plenty once reigned, and j the dwellings of rich and poor alike have been laid in ashes. For these deeds his tory will brand him as a robber and incen- j diary, and will deservedly "damn him to , everlasting fame " ! I am, your obedient servant, s WADK HAMPTON, Lieut. Gen ? !

Polk, corner of Broad aud Sixth ; streets, advertises bleached cotton at twelve j and a half cents; unbleached cotton, made i at the Manchester Mill, at fifteen cents, j which the mill was selling a few days ago; by the bale at tweoty cents; calicoes at; twelve and a half cents, and nearly all his new stock of dry goods, just received, at about the samo falling off from the high j prices which prevailed a short time ago.? So, also, it will be seen that Messrs. West; & Andrews, at foot of Church Hill, on ; Broad street, are selling brown sugar at ten cents; coffee at twenty-five cents, and but-j 1 ter at twenty cents. We chroniole these t facta with very great pleasure, and hope soon to be able to report a general deoline in all the neoessaries of life.?Richmond Dispatch. Last week we published a para graph to the effect that all cotton and other produce which had been subscribed to the "Confederate Loan," had been ordered to be seized as United States property.? We observe by a paragraph in the Philadelphia Ledtjer, that this is an error Confederate cotton that has been paid for by the Confederate Government, and never re moved from the point at which it was purchased, is claimed as belonging to the Uui ted States Government, but cotton engaged by the Confederate authorities and never paid for, is still tbe legitimate property of the owner. financial & Commercial. {pj- tt will be remembered by our readers that the price* quoted below are in currency, or "greenbacks," unless oth jrwisc specially stated.

Efforts are made hv lending merchants to resist the apid encroachments of the declining contagion, but some istute rival appears here and tiiere announcing himself en apport with the Northern trade and ready to submit to any Jecline. Unfortunately, all of our merchants are not so dtuated, and, their means being already limited by adverse :lrcuinstances, a heavy concession will be ruinous to many. The dry goods trade seems to be the most depressed. In lress goods, the concession has been very large, extending o prints and ail hue fabrics, being lightest on woollens and itandards.
