national men at Philadelphia in August next,
wherein delegates from every State shall ap

Tne 17th Army Corps, Army of Tennessee, went into
c&mp on the banks of the C'ongaree within less than
one mile from the centre ot the town. From our
camp the whole city was in plain view. No tioops,
save a few skirmishers along the river, or citizens,
could be seen cn the streets or about the town. I hau
never seen so much carelessness in exposing camps
and troops, ia plain view of a place occupied by rebels,
and remarked to a captain of artillery thaft tfceytcould
make us scatter by opening a battery on our cump,
and tbe column of troops marching on the road within
musket shot of the town. “So they could, and I hope
they will lire at ti£ We wish for w good excuse to
blow the town to the devil, aud will do ho on the first
provocation. They know better, however, aud will
not disturb our sleep to-night.” A few shots were ex
changed between the pickets of the two armies aerons
the Congarce and Saluda. Near our camp, and close
by the road on which the 15th Army Corps was march
ing, were the remains of Camp Sorghum, where Fed
eral officers had been kept as prisoners of war.
. COLUMBIA FOBEDOOMKD.
The feeling of the Army of Tennessee is well illus
trated by a profane and ferocious doggerel, which was
sung by hundredrof the 15th Army-Corps:
“Hail Colombia, happy land,
If I don’t burn you I'll be d d.”
This effusion was said to have been uttered by a Major
General as he was crossing the Saluda. (It was not
Sherman.) The doom ot Columbia was decided at
Camp Sorghum, and neither Geu. Sherman lioMliiiy
other man could have saved it from severe treatment.
The 15th Army Corps crossed the Saluda with bnt
little opposition, and encamped on the tongue of land
between it and the Broad. Next morning (17th) about
8 a. m., loud and repeated explosions in the city were
heard. At 9 a. m. an extensive Are was seen in the
neighborhood of the Charlotte railroad depot. From
this to 11 a. m. cotton was seen burning in the streets.
About this time brisk skirmishing was heard to the
north of the city. Immediately a squad of aohliers
from the 13th Iowa snraug into two small boats and
paddled across the Congarce. On landing they started
for the State House, in order to have the honor of
raising the flag of their regimeut on the building in
advance of the 15th Army Corps. White flags were

Just then the bugles of our division sounded strike

cumbered with the trains of these troops, and soipu
five miles in length, we did not reach Columbia until
about 8 p. m. As we marched through the town thOfe

THE AUTHOR.
A lady asked Gen. Sherman: “Why did you burn
our town, or allow your army to do so?” “I diiknot
burn your town, nor did my army. Your brothers,
sons, husbands and tethers set fire to every city, town
aud village iu the land when they fired on Fort Sum
ter. That fire, kindled then aud there by them,
been burning ever since, and reached yosir house
night.” “Well, were you not in command of tbe army
last night?” ”1 did not command my army last night,
and cauuot command my men when they are drubg.”
-Will yon allow us to go to Charleston?” “You have nly
fall consent td go wherever you W*«h, bnt do not go
there. H my army Rhoukl go there, and it iuajf do an,
they will not leave one stone on another in that city."

A Mother’s Iwrr.
Borne years ago, some English officers camp
ing in the vicinity of Mnlkapoor went out
tiger hunting, and bagged a splendid tigress.
Whilst returning home with the trophy they
found, in a secluded spot, .In the lee of a
jagged rock, what evidently was the lair of a
tiger, Cor there lay bones of both human and
brute kind and shreds and rags of clothing.
More interesting than all, however, was the
discovery of a tiny kitten not more.th&n a
fortnight old, coiled in a corner, winking and
blinking and gaping at the intruders. The
hunters al once decided that it must b« Uie
cab of the beast they had slain, and willingly
took charge of tbe little orphan.
Tiger kittens are not captured every day.
so when the banters returned to their quar
ters, the excitement in their tent was con
siderable. The -newly acquired kitten was
provided with a tiny dog collar and chain and
attached to the tent pole, round which it
gamboled, to tbe delight of an audience num
bering nearly twenty- About tiro hours
after the capture, however, and jnttss it waa
has. growing da& the good people in the tent
Ji?lwere checked in the midst ot their hilarity
" by a sound that caused the bravest Wart to
beat rather irregularly-
It was the roar, or rather tbe combination
of shriek aqd roar, peculiar to tbe tiger
when driven mad with rage. In an instant
the gamboling kitten became every inch a
tiger and strained, with all its baby strength,
at the tether, while it replied, with aloud
wail to the t^rible voice outside. The com
pany were panic-*trieken. Thera waa antne-
tblngsn sudden’and unearthly in the roar,
that it sedfted as though the great tigs*,
brought in an boar before, had come to iita
again. Certainly, the tiger in qneation was
already flayed, but the picture conjured up,
became not the more pleosaut for that. There
was, however, not neariy so much time for
speculation to the scared company aa writing
these lint s bean**; ] tgjlmott rimnltaaepea
with the roar, kheralfo** clear into the cen
ter of the tent, a hold tigress, ud withont
deigning to notice a single man there, she
owfgtu ii* kkhwpped baby by the nape of
its neck, and giving- K • jerk, snipped .the
little chaio, and urn* turning for the trot
door, ■£***£'
appeared that the link thing did not Wong

motherthat bed tracked and reoovarsd it.
