J1 Burning of Columbia. (Otntinued from pa<jt one. ) prevent it* destruction. I heard Dr. Goodwyn, then major of the city, tell Dr. Thomson that General Sherman teldhim to go to bed, that the oity would not bo distr^yad, when at the moment hie men were engaged in setting tire to the homes of helpless women aud children. As an eye witness to those awful scenes, a more bald, untruthful stateme nt was never uttered than the one suid to have been made by General Sherman, that General Hampton burned Columbia. In this strain 1 wrote the letter and gave it to the Lieutonant, who kindly mailed it and it reaohed its destination in due time. Ao the Lieutenant, iu which he expressed but tittle regret for the terrible punish moot meted out to ue. From the tiino the troops pasied tho College cuinpus till about 5 o'clock nothing of very special interest occured. It is true fires in different parts of the city had occurred during the day, but it wa? not until a'ter dark on the 17th of February tbut the svork of fiendish destruction began. The troops from the various camps began to pour into tho city like locusts, the tires beooming mote numerous as durkness set in. Dr. Thomson and 1 lock our position iu the cupola of the College building to watch the progress of the flames. We saw the Federal soldiers plainly setting tiic to tho State llonse, ihc light trum the burning buildings making it light as day. While viewing this awful tceue tho cry reached us that the hospital buildings had caught fire. Ttie wind at this lime was blowing curiously and the burning ciubers were falling thick us hail. lteforv reaching the ground the cry of fire had reached die ears oft lie helpless and dying tutu iu the hospital. Those poor creatures were crawling on their hands ami knees frotn the building to avoid what they feared would be a more awful death than the one which if was onlv a oiicstion of a verv brief / a ' ~ ~ W period would relievo them (heir lrou? menial and physical sufferings. The beetle (l; it presented nself to me at thai hour can noverbo ctlnced from my ineuiory.

The news sprea i rapidly thai the hospital buildings liad caught cm tire. The few of us left on duiy weie in a measure powerless.

General O. O. Howard was quartered in Mrs. MoCord's bouse near tbe college buildiug. After some hesitation and misgivings, he made up his mind to call on bim and make known to him tbe position he was placed in'. He told bim be did not appeal to him asking help for himself, for be would die in a dungeon before be would make such a request; he came pleading for help iu behalf of tbe helpless and dying. General Howard's Adju inut uenerai, wll? was present and heard (be Doctor's appeal, remarked in tones beard by the Dootor, "See the Southern ehi airy." The appeal was not in vain, fur an order was issued to the Federal Commissary to leave so many cattle for hoBpitul use. Those of us who partook of Federal bounty uover accused the Commissary of picking out for us tho choicest of his flock; he certainly donated to us what in truth could hnve classed as some of Pharaoh's lean kinc, but for even this .we were thankful. On Monday, the 20th, the troops begau to leave the city. Among tho last I caw go was a detachment guarding a manacled soldier, whom 1 rcogui/.ed as one who drove the ambulance attached to the Ladies Hospital near ilie Charlotte depot. 1 hoard that he hud hean recognized by some of the Federals as a deserter from their army. What his fate was I never learned. On Tuesdny, the 21st, tue city was fret from the presence of Hberman's forces excepting some stragglers, whom rumor said General Sherman told Mayor Goodwyu to deal with iu a very summary manner. Tho excitement of the past three days had made fearful work among jur in'olc men. The duty devolved upon mo to make pre pa* ratiou for the burial of tho dead that had been accumulating since tho occupation of i\n\ Ptl v nn ilui 17th I fniiMil a?? ?~ - V J Vis ?MV I iyu IIV4 UU V A.Iiujn l" lion 17 corpses. It was impossible lo procure plunk lo make coflins and it was with tie greatest ditliculiy I was able lo pel a trench dug lo bury tieni in. There was no white help 1 could cull upon, ami ihw negroes were delimit and insolent and refused to aid in digging ihe praves. I was, under the circumstances, compelled lo use arbitrary measures. I select el a few of ihe ho-puu) atlcudants, armed them with muskets, ami went into the city and itnpre-sed such ablebodied help as we t* et and marched them lo the field in reir of the President's house in the Soulli Carolina College Campus uud had a trench dug mlhcient io lay side by side ihohc seventeen men. As stated, 1 was unable to procure plank or nails, all 1 was a'>. e to do for iliem was to wrap their precious forms up in a sheit, and whercevcr it was possible for me to learn their names 1 would murk the grave, or rather the position they oecupic I hi lliw iiencli, with such material as 1 cou d get. in order that ilr ir friends nupht remove lliem it desiiei.

While we deeply regretted the wounding of the mail the incident had it very saluiaiy effect. On the day following we ouried seven.
