Sherman was put through a course of questioning in /Washington on the 12th instant, touching the burn ing of Columbia, which appears to have irritated him very considerably, and to have elicited facts which are highly discreditable to him as the commander of the army which made the rad through Georg : a and South Carolina. The iVashfKgfoft 'correspbiident of the Louisville Courier Journal furnishes the following synopsis of the facts drawn our by the examination f ‘Gen. Sherman was ex .mined before tin* American and British Commis>imi to-day in regard to the burning nfCul uuibia, lie denied that !..< had issued order's to burn Colum in, but admitted that tiie army was great I v exasperated against Sou,ti: Carolina, and said this exasperation was increased by Ceil. lla:it|.ton's rear gnlVd firiiig info his camp a night or iwi before entering Columbia, which exaspei atioil he and his officers pai licipated in, an i this was known to the men. A correspondence was then shown toGen. Sherman, | ur porting to have taken piaoe beteeu im and ueu. I loll.*< /!-, while on his march to t(foliimhia. Tin* eonininlilea tion from Halleek desired h;m to d.-s 'trov Cluii lesion and sow it with sdi.so that theie might no. more nullilt-rs or secessionists grow up there. '1 n this Sherman, if reply, wrote that Cmirles toii and Coin uni i Would sunn lie iu his hands, and Ilall.ck wuniil l ave no cutis •to c unplain ol his treat meiit of them : ill it he h id Ihe Fi r. e itli cu in with him. and that corps did their work well, and fuither that lie (shermm) would not spare the public buildings iu Culumhi i. as e did Mil ledge. il le.

She was styled at the time the ‘Veiled Murder ess,* as she kept herself closely veiled jn court and prison, and would neither show her tuceorgive any account of htr sell or fa ily. She has now been eighteen years in Sing Situ;, and generally enjoys good health, and spirits, and preserves her good looks.
