BURNING OF COLUMBIA \
BY GEN. SHERMAN'S ARMY. a
. . e
Best ruction ol South Carolina's i
Capital in February, 1805, Be- t
scribed by (Japt. 1>. Augustus s
Dickcrt in llis "History ot 0
Kershaw's Brigade."?A Story
ot Suffering, Cruelty and Van- (
dalisin Graphically Told.
A few days ago the State n
DUbli-hod R sUtffTost,inn from Mr t
4 ?OO
McDonald Furmanto the teach- r
ers of Columbia that they rend (
to their pupils Capt. Dick- {
ert's story of tho burning of 1
Columbia. In order that the 1
suggestion may be followed and t
on account of the importance of r
preserving the true account of ^
tho most important event in t
Columbia's history, The State ^
presents the story as it"is found t
in (Chapters XLII of the "His- 1
tory <?f Kershaw's Brigade." '
c
When Sherman put his mighty '
machine of war in motion Ker- j
Shaw's brigade was hurried to
Charleston and up to George's
station, then to the brigade on 'J
the Edisto. Raiding parties
were out in every direction, do- T
stroying bridges and railroads,
and as the Southern army hail )
no pontoon corps nor any me- ''
thods of crossing the deep, slug- ^
gish streams in their roar but ?
l... U_i 1 U - - 2 t. .
ov DiKiges, n can no seen that
the outting of one bridge alone '
might be fatal to the army \
Tt was discovered early in the '
march that Sherman did not in- r
tend ho continue on a direct line, 1
with Columbia as the centre of *
operations. We were removed N
from the Edisto back to Charles- *
ton, and up the Northwestern
railroad to St. Stephen's on the !
Santee. It was feared that a|f
raiding part)* from Georgetown
would come up die Santee and. 1
out the bridges thereby isolating 1
the army ^lardee had iwColum- (;

The plan of the campaign was j
iow to concentrate all the force (
?f Hood's State troops and a
lardee's at some point in up- f
>er South Carolina or in North ^
Carolina, and make one more
lesperato stand, and by united r
.ction crush and overthrow ^
Sherman's army, thereby reliev- (
ng Lee.
On the morning of February ,j
he 10th the enemy, without o
iny warning whatever, began j
helling the city of Columbia,
illed with women and children.

crossed below the city nnd
wo others above. One shell {
>assed through the hotel in
vhich (fen. Beauregard was at
lie time, others struck the
State house, wli'de many fell
hroughout the city. Gen
fampton withdrew his small
n
orco of cavalry early on the
nornlng of tho 17th, and the
nayor of the city met an oflicer
>f the federal army under a 1
lag of truce and tendered him

laimed protection for its i nhahi-1 ,
ants. This was promised.
All during the day thouRand*
if the enemy poured into tin
ity, General Sherman entering
bout midday. Gens Davis' and (
rVillianin' corps crossed the Salu '
la and continued up on the we?t- 1
rn bank of Broad river, one t
rossing 10, the other 25, miles
hove Columbia. The people of
Columbia had hopes of a peaceful
iccupation of the city, but during h
he day and along towards night ' h
all, the threatening attitude ol t
he soldiers, their ominous words, 0
hreats of vengeance, wore too v
mrtentous for the people to misinderstand
or to expect mercy. t
rhese signs, throats and mutterngs
were hut the prelude to that '
vhich was to follow.

About y o'clock the alarm of d

housand voices and the tread of n
a many troops hurrying to and (
ro on their </ursed mission, could

nto the faces of each other. All 1<
mew and felt, but dared not even fl

A BRAVE WOMAN.
A woman, Mrs. Miller, the
, wife of \eighbor of mine, had
[f her hii/ gild's gold watch-in her
:1 bosom, and refused to pive it
up When demanded, even when
s a cocked pistol was at her head
s The vandal struck her a stunr!
ninp blow with the butt end of
ho ^pistol?all in vain. 'Hie
i, >ravo heroine held to the heir,.j

j entreaties and threats
o| Two old people living near
v mo, brother and maiden sister,
! namul Loner, both past three
j score, were asked to give their
_ money. The}' had none. But
s one of the ruffians threw a fire
u under tlie bed, saying:
"I will put it out if you will
T tell !mo where you keep your
rnoi } , you have it, for I've
.. I been so informed.''
o "l et it burn," answered (lie
jr old woman. "Do you think to

1V min.le with its ashes, but T will
? remain true to myself, my
? country and mv God."
d Soon all that was left of the
once happy home was a heap of
ashes. Will God, in His wisdom,
ever hare cause to again

'1 the Southland? Or were there
o over conditions in the world's

. Hut a Nemesis, in this case, as

The railroad tracks were
torn up and bridges burned, the *

Mrs. Nation's Performance.
Mrs. Carrie Nation a woman
ill. Kansas, has created a great
sensation and brought, about a
novel situation in that State by
into onesal'.on alter anot Iter
'.villi a hatchet, or an axe and
smashing everything breakab .
I It must be remembered thni
I saloons are run in violation of
I the law in Kansas. There seems
to wh to bo method in Mrs.
Nation's madness. The places
lie is wrecking exist in violation
ot law, the men whose property
he is destroying are violators of
e and using this same property
violation of the law. Now,
..hat will t he authorities do ? Will
they protect by law the violators
of l.?w ? Will they defend the
places by law which exist in violation
of tin.- law ? Mrs. Nation's
action i? no doubt unlawful, but
"not any more so than the action
of t!?e sa ooti-kcepcr whose pro
petty she dost roys. Will the
Kansas authorities protect the
violators of iaw who are whiskey
men and punish the vh.latt r of
law who is a temperance woman ?
At bottom it is a question between
had men and a good woman,
who both are violating the
law, the men from the basest of
motives and the woman from
humanitarian motives. Verily
Mrs. Nation is a naughty person
to thus vex the grave and philo
sophical officers of the law. They
say, ''You cannot suppress the
saloon ; it is impracticable.1' This
is the old dodge. Hut supp< ?e
the Kansas women claim immunity
on the same principle? Sup
pose they compel the officers to
say, "It. is impracticable to suppress
the fanaticism of these wo
men ?" The saloon keepers are
exempted from punishment, because
they persist in violation of
, the law Herhaps the women
may decide to do likewise.?Bnp
