SoutU Caroliiiii's Hospitality.
Col. Gr;cme, one of the editors of
of the Richmond Whig, who was
recently in Columbia, in writing up
liis travels, pays the following compliment
to our ladieg. The incident
to which he refers, occurred at Spartanburg,
and is, we are informed,
< strictlv true:
?s
We were told tliat "beyond Columbia,
the hospatality and kindness
of the ladies exceeded, if possible,
that which we had already witnessed,
and in illustration of the assertion
I an anecdote was related to the effect
that the ladies of prepared
a grand collatioD, one, day, iu anticipation
of . the arrival of a large number
of wounded.soldiers. When the
train arrived, it so happened that only
one soldier was among the passengers.
The ladies pressed him to
the table, which c was laden' wi th
" choice viands arid dessert, and invi'
^ ^fetlhuri p^rtMvcX^ Tlie soldier ex.
claimed, "Ladies; since I have been
in South Carolina, to-day, I have eaten
seven dinners,, and cannot possibly
swallow any thine' more." The
s A- # C7 4 #
ladies nearest to him insisted that
he<should eat something, and the
poor fellow, finding that "excuses
were made in vain, broke from the
table, darted into the woods, and
has not been heard from since, at
that place.
The Polish Insurrection.?The
Baltic Gazette gives the following
statistics relating to the late insurrection
in Poland, chiefly derived from
official sources. During the sixteen
months of the struggle 30.000 insur
t MI. i i
gouts were Kineci or severely-wounded";
364 were condemned to deatli
by military tribunals, and 85,000
persons less compromised were transported
to Siberia. The war contributions
levied were: 6,000,000 of
roubles in the Kingdom of Poland,
3,000,000 in Lithuana, 2,000,000 in
Volhynia, Podolla and Kiew. The
National Government on its side,
raised the following sums: 6,000,000
in Poland, 3,000,000 in Lithuania,
2,000,000 in Volhynia, Podolia and j
Kiew, 2,500,000 in Gallacia, and
1,000,000 in Posnania. The number j
ot i'oles who found an asylum j
abroad is estimated at 10,000.

A strange story comes to us from Abyssinia. The
Emperor of thnt so-called Christian country, it is said,
has offered his hand to the British Queen, and becduso
an answer did not come so soon as he expected, ho put
Mr. Cameron, tl*e British Consul, in chains.
The Herald says James Buchanan has volunteeredto
do military duly for one hundred days, and is now
at Camp Cndwaller, Pennsj'lvania. .Vice-Prosidon^
Hamlin is also doing service in Maine. Doubtful. ''
The Now York Herald gives as an indication of progress,
tho following: ;'Four athletic and very greasy
negroes sittimr down ull in a row in a Broadway omni
nibus, and three white Indies standing up in tiio same
'bus, and hanging on to the straps."
It has been ascertained that the following persons
are prisoners of war from this district, and unhurt :
Capt. J. L. Jones, Lieut. E. A. Young, Privates L. M.
Caixhen, S. Bel!, G. L. Dixon, David Peach, S. Her-i

Kvacuulioii of Atlanta.
A letter in the Augusta Sentinel gives soma
of .the particulars of the evacuation of Atlanta.
It says :
Early on the morning of the 1st it was officially
ascertained that the disaster on Wednesday
evening was fully as serious as first repoitod,
and that the forces of the enemy on
the Macon road consisted of five full corps of
infantry, with a large force of cavalry. It was
also known that a large force wns south of the
Chattahoochee, in the vicinity of the railroad
bridge. Both of these were threatening the
city, and as it would have been lolly to resist
both, an evacuation wns promptly determined
upon.
The removal of all the supplies and ammnni
lion tlmt the transportation facilities of the army
would permit, commenced early Thursday, and
was continued throughout the day. Large
quantities of provisions were also distributed to \
the people, and at nightfall all on hand stored j
in the Georgia railroad warehouse and cars on i
the tiack. Throughout the day, also, the sev-;
eral bodies ot troops, as they were withdrawn ;
from the defences and filed through the city 1
were permitted access to the public stores.? 1
The rolling stock of tbc railroads, consisting of
about one hundred cars and six engines, was
concentrated near the rolling mill before dark, I
audi by that hour all the troops had passed j
through, with the exception of the rear guard, j
I,.ft tn nmvftiit e 4 A :.. ~ ' '!
iiieir withdrawal
was accomplished in good order and without
jot)fusion or straggling.
Of course great excitement prevailed throughout
lbs day, hut a moderate degree of good order
obtained. A few licentious citizens and soldiers
embraced the occasion to display the
wickedness of their natures, but the great mass
of both classes acted with the greatest decorum.
The citizens who had suffered from the malice
of the enemy during the bombardment looked
on sorrowingly, and indulged in conjectures as
to what would be their fate when once in the
enemy's power, while the troops filed through
the streets "with a steady fread, it is truo, but
nevertheless with sotroW depleted on their
weather beaten countctinnces.
As to the scene that followed through the
night, I can only report second-handed. The
order was to burn only Government property
left behind, but this would necessarily involve,
the destruction of the Georgia depot, the rolling
stock in the city and the rolling mill. A gentleman
who loft the city early this morning informs
me the depot was fired about 11 o'ciocU,
and the cars, <fcc., an hour or two later. The
I explosion consequent upon the firing of the ori
dinance train took place about two o'clock this
morning, and was hoard and felt to a great dis
tance.
Many citizens clinic out, but thousands remained,
some because they could not get away,
but many- from choice.
:
Tiik Position.?A few days since we re
| xnarKea unit sncrmnn wfts running eight or
ten trains a dor of provisions into Atlanta.
The Macon Intelligencer says he is receiving
over two hundred car loads of provisions daily.
This is one of the beautiful fruits of the "armistice."
But, what has been done in this
matter cannot be undone. All we can now
I do .is to vigorously prepare for the future. If
the "Confederate authorities at Richmond pass
a few more weeks of ease and negligence,, and
refuse to take proper measures and steps for
the defence ol Georgia Sherman will succeed
in housing himself in Atlanta, and will not only
bo in a strongly fortified position, but will
have provisions enough on hand to malce it
impossible to starve him out.?Augusta Chronicle.
