I have shown how false is this 4,009,000 slaves in the South at Jhe com- j statement; but even if it were true, how' docs he clear himself of the guilt of burn- col arolinas. As this report misrepre- s t r , me in the grossest and falsest man-1 of tl their Gc Ser, I trust that you will not deny me the right to vindicate myself. It is due lu history, if not to me, that the false hoods of Gen. Sherman, in reference to the destruction of this city should be ex posed. This shall be doue in the briefest po.-sible maimer. The report says J “Gen. Wade Hamp- I j an( (ton, who commanded the Confederate ! coat Xir guard of cavrflry, hud, in anticipa- by r tlon of our capture of Columbia, ordered that all cotton public and private, should be moved into tHe street and* fifed to pre vent our malting itee of it. * . * * Some of these piles of 1 co.tton were burn ing especially one in* the very heat of the city, near the court house, but the fire gas partially subdued by the labor of our soldiers. * * * Before ouc single public building had been fired by order, the smouldering fires set by Hampton’s order were rekindled by the wind and communicated to the buildings around. About dark they began to spread and got beyond control of the brigade on duty within the city. The whole of Wood’s division was brought in, but it was found impossible to check the flames, which, by midnight had become unman ageable,and raged until about four o’clock, a. in., when the wind subsiding they were got under control. * * * 1 diiclaiin on the part of my army, any agency in the fire, but, on the contrary, i he would i whieli he sequcutly General Sherman did confirm 1 them, and that night, seeing that the was exhausted by the labors of the e counseled him to retire to rest, , “ Not a finger’s breath, Mr. May- your city shall he harired.

Taking this as a basis of calculation, there were at the beginning of the war, 400,000 ne gro men between the ages of 18 and 45 years. Of that number 200,000 entered the army of the United States, but the sword and disease reduced their ranks to 100,000. Since the close of the war, many of these have been disbanded and gone to tne North and West. The J. T. REESE eye. twelv be on was ii ket oi purtiu fire ir nf so claim that w mains uncousuined.

Our offi cers and meu on duty worked well to ex tinguish the flames.” It would be difficult, if not impossible, to express,in an equal number of paragraph*, n greater number of falsehoods than are contained in the above extracts.

And so the miserable day wore on in pillage, insult and constant confusion nd alarm.

Hampton commanded thcConf'edei-ate rear guard ol cavalry.” I did not order any cotton “ moved into the street and fired.” On the contrary, my first act in taking command of the cavalry—to which I was assigned only the night before the evacu ation of Columbia—was to represent to General Beauregard the danger to the town of firing cotton in the streets. Up on this representation, he authorized me to give orders that no cotton in the town should be fired, which order was strictly blast, n as many, different quarters, at nearly the same moment, and while the alarm sounded from these quarters a sim ilar alf.nn was sent up almost simultane ously iruni Cotton Town, the northermost limit if the city, and from Main street in its’cry centre.” * * “The wretclps engaged in this appointment ini ccudialisui were well prepared* with al- the appliances essential to their work.

Nor am I surprised that he should naturally seek to escape by taking refuge behind a falsehood. But he shall not with impu nity make me the scapegoat for his sins. Wherever he lias taken his army in this State, women has been insulted and out raged, old men have been hung to extort from them hidden treasure.

A shapeless pile of earth and sand, and brick, it bears no likeness to its former self. V\ here the new cross of the Confederacy and the palmetto flag of South Carolina and the division flag of Gen. Ripley were so proud ly flying in April aud July of eighteen hundred and sixty-three, only one single banner, and that the red, white and blue, now waves. Scarred and cracked, its walls seem ready to fall. The face toward Cum- miiig’8 point is crushed and broken into a steep hill of mingled sand, and brick, and shot, and shell. The face toward Fort Moultrie is a solid work of inter woven palmetto logs. Yet the structure of the fort is scarred and cracked and brokeu above and around and behind these additional defenses. The case mates, closed aud covered by immense framework of heavy beams, and this again thick with earth, can be entered only by winding passages, damp and dripping with moisture. The casemates once entered, it would hardly seem possible that any human being could have lived any length of time within them. The guns were slimy and mouldy, and the carriages were sweating with a slimy moisture. Climbing out of the stone port hole ring and tumbling in the endeavor , and through the more widely extending their clothing and some of their j one in the Palmetto logs, you could look uuable effects. They were driven ; down around the base of the fort, where id long, pistols clapped to their j the ceaseless tide had woven over each of liolent hands laid on throat and ; the. stones a mantle like, thick, green, nd the ruffians seemed to make j wet floss, and see fragments of shell and .; distinction in their treatment of ! broken bolts. You could look to the produced, and 75,000 rewaineff on the old plantations and most of fne:® asav now be found in the fields at work. Turning to the opposite sex, we find 400,000 between the ages of 18 and 45 years. And how are we to account for them ? Go, ink-sheading Bohemian, to the coasts of Carolina and Georgia. Fol low the trail to Gen. Sherman’s grand march to the sea from Atlanta. Go to Mobile, Nashville, Memphis, Vicksburg, Savannah, Jackson, Baton Rouge, Mon roe, Shreveport, Alexandria, and this city. Visit the grave-yards in our towns and villages and ask who sleeps there. It will be easy to account for the disappear ance of 100,000 negro women—poor ig norant oreatures who left their homes to follow triumphant armies, but perished of cold hunger aud fatigue, ere the bliss of freedom had become theirs. We are speaking now of the grown up women. The children who followed them fell by the way side, and slumber in umarked, unconseerated graves. To seek guaran tees for their promised freedom, 25,000 have gone North, East and West, and 125,000 are about cities, towns and vil lages, washing, cooking, or following far less creditable occupations. This would leave 150,000 effective fe male laborers in the rural districts. Of boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 years, there are perhaps 100,000 half of whom arc either unemployed or are loitering about towns and villages. We have, therefore, of available colored cot ton raisers : Negro men, 75,000 Negro women, 150,000 Negro hoys and girls, 60,000 hmnburg and a cheat, a matter of teebni-j caiitiesand legal shuffling.

There time spent by jurora and hangers-on, be sides other costs, at fifty dollars, besides the ill-feelings and dissensions caused by it. It is all a cheat.

In the cotton States, there were about 250,- 000 white men at the commencement of the war, who, if so inclined, might have devoted their attention to the raising ot cotton. Ot this number 100,000 have been killed or disabled during the war, but their places have to some extent been supplied by the growth of boys. We think it would be a large estimate to al low 200,000 white laborers fur the cot ton fields during the present season. If so, we have a total effective force of 485,- 000 cotton raisers. The next question is—liow much cot ton can we reasonably expect to be raised per hand ? Statistics show that in 1840, with a force of 600,000 laborers, out crop was 1,800,000 bales, or three bales per hand. When the laboring force doubled between 1850 and ’CO, the crop proved to be 4,500,000 bales, equal to :i| bales per hand. What then shall be our estimate lor the present year?

He went to the church lor that purpose, which was crowded beyond all precedent, with an excited and expectant concourse of “ Ebonies.” The “ happy couple stood up before the altar, attended by twelve or fourteen maids and men. It was evident that something was out The officiating minister began—we are assembled in the presence ot God, &c.— but when he came to that paTt of the ceremony which demands—“ If any one can show just cause why they may not be legally joined together in matrimony, let him now speak or ever hereafter hold his peace”—a voice from behind the minis- istcr said in a full clear tone, “I object— that man is iny lawful husband.” Of course there was a decided sensation.— The minister, thus cheeked in the cere mony, enquired, “ who is the objector? —let her come forward.” She come up, faced the groom, and said, “ I was mar ried to that man and can prove it; I object to his marrying that woman.”— With fallen crest and disappointed hope, the coming couple were dismissed to moralise upon the old saying—there many a slip ’twtx’t the cup and the lip. Later.—The marriage did come off. Not to be outdone in the matter of so se rious import the couple that tried to be come one before Rev.
