WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUL7 S, 1873.
Another l<f*( la Nhaumrlal I hup*
ler.
A Honoy Hill, 8ouih Carolina, oorrespon-
dent of the Savannah News bu written two let
ter* to the I'e lenl Genorel Stone, wbcwo ex-
planation esto who l-nrned Colombia we [ 'lb-
liahod lone daja einee, disproving Stone** slat*,
ment that the fool deed wm committed by a so
ciety of Yankee prisoners and negroes, and be
certainly make* ant a strong case. He charges
the Ttspor.sibility for tbs bnrning upon Sher
man—where we nbail always believe it should
rest—and in support of bis assertion and as an
illustration of the animus of Shsrman and other
commanders, relates the following circum
stances attending the destruction of the gas
works:
In the general bnrning anil sack of the city,
principally by tho 15th Army Corps, the gas
works, which anpplied tho only means of light,
fortunately escaped ; hot, on tialnrilAy the ru
mor reached Mr. Derrick, the superintendent,
that an order for their destruction bad been
ieaoed. Mr. J. G. Giblies, then a member of
the City Council, went immediately to General
Howard and appealed to him to spare them, for
reasons that were palpable to Grnera] Howard
himself, viz:
1st. Every storwin the clly bad been destroy-
ed. 14. Forty nine of every fifty families de-
! • -1 on tbs gsa works for light. 3d. Co
lumbia was cut off from every eon roe of supply
by which lights could be secured. 4th. The
tick and wounded who were gathered in the col
lege bonding* were dependent upon the works
for tbecomfort and convenience of s light. 5th.
That tho city was already a wreck, and that to
deprivo the wretched inhabitant* of the only
comfort left them would be to agonize them
with the extreme of cruelty, (ith. That the
works were wholly private property, and that
Ibetr daslmction oonld serve no conceivable
military purpose. To all this General Howard
replied by referring to bis order from General
Hbeimtn. Mr. Glbtov immedistely went to
General Hbermsn, anil presented the case to
him, nrgiog ble interference; but bn only re-
ferred Mr. Gibboa back to General Howard as
having boon Invested with fall military author
ity in the city, not, however, without tmprers-
ing Mr. Gibbre with the idea that the worka
should not be doetroyed. (This was sulmfqnent-
ly strengthened bye second Interview with Gen.
Howard. How lunch reliance was to bo j.laood
upouOio assurance thus given was soon shown.
Early the following morning, Hnndaythe lDth
a day HO calm and pleasant that God. Hbcrman,
under the pretext of going to chnrcb, went ont
toinspoct bis handiwork—it wn* again rumored
thst a detachment had been ordered to proceed
to the guv works to destroy them. Again Mr.
Gibbon, in company with another cillz»D, went
to boo General Howard, bat ho soon saw that
bta appeals were nsoleas, and & littlo while
afterwards the dense mass of black smoko which
rose from thst quarter of the city, told too
plainly that tho work of destruction was going
on. Mr. Derrick, the superintendent, and s
friend, Mr. Linton, were at tho works when the
detachment .arrived. They oamo nnder the
command of an effioor who was evidently an
expert in the art of demolition. That job was
effcotnally done; tho smoke-stack was under
mined and thrown down; tho bolder, the one
In use, was ent and knocked literally to pleoes,
and every piece of pipe, every retort, and
meter bo broken as to render tnem perfectly
tiseleea, end then tho rosin, some threo hundred
barrels, was rolled into the building and fired.
In their fronzy they spared not oven their
own citizens Within the enclosure stood,
half oompteted. n fine gas bolder, tho property
of Mr. O. W. Kraft, a loyal cilizen of Philadel
phia. Mr. Dorrick and Mr. Linton, who were
aware of the facts, nrged the commanding offi
cer to spnro it, stating tho reason, and assuring
him that tho company had no interest in it, and
that Mr. Kraft was stilt tho legal owner, llut
all in vain, the reply was: If Mr. Kraft la a
loyal citizen ho will be paid for it by the Gov
ernment Tho columns were then broken, tho
whoels shattered, and about tbreo hnndrod
holes cat or broken in tho holder itself with
axes, and the whole mass with weights, columns,
pipes, etc., tumbled into tho well. Here was
privato property; it was not conld not bo used
by an enemy, and was at the time almost an
aliaolnto necessity. Ho ‘'bummers’* destroyed
it, a regular detachment nnder a commissioned
ofilcor. went In broad day light hnd destroyed
it. Thoro was no bnrning cotton abont it;
thorn was no fire near It, it was deslroyod
by the express order of General Howard,
Under tbo sanction of General Sherman,
on the Snbbatb, when General Hbermsn,
according to his own statement, was looking
abont nnd wondering that a poople enveloped
in smoko and nahrn, beggared and witbocl food
for tho day, wore not awaiting him at some
church with A te devm. It was not dono in the
flush of victory, or nodor tba influenoe of tbs
content* of the generous cellars of Scnlhorn gen-
tleman; it wss done coolly, deliberately, ener
gized by that spirit which glosts with delight
upon ths agonies of n dying too. Yonr Knklnz
society soldior was not tbore, nor n single nogro
bat » full, g.»..l regimen' of I mle.l S’.utui
troops was quartered in sight of it. General
Htone, do not write any more. Yonr motives
aro too patent; nnd instead of helping yonr
frlonds, yon aro aiding in carrying ont Ooneral
Hampton’s propbotlo iangntgo in refercnco to
HhsrmaD, “damned to eternal infamy.**
^*a»*>—
General O. O. Howard and tbo Freed-
nien’a Hurean.
W.tsniNoTajt, JnnelG.—Tho complications in
Gononl O. O. Howard’s case, Gays a dispatch to
the Hod, grow worso nnd worse. In tho exam
ination of tho papers submitted to ths Deport
ment of Jostloo by tho Bocrotary of War, it was
discovered that tho law of March 3,18G5, cre
ating tho Froodmcn's Burcan, required the
commissioner and anb-commissloners to give
bonds, ths former in tho anm of $50,000 and
th* latter in $20,000, which woro to bo approved
by tho Attorney-General and filed with tho prop
er office™. Inquiry was at once mado ct the
Treasury and War Department for these bonds
—fourteen in all. Search was mado in both
departments, bnt up to this evening no traces
of them oonld bo fonnd.
The aot of March 30, 1SG7, turning over to
the Freedmen'a Bureau the settlement of the
bsok pay, bounties, and pensions of colorod sol
diets, also required tho Commissioner and his
subordinates to givo bonds. Those have been
lookod lor and nre also missing. Tbo clerks in
the Heoond Comptroller's effleo, charged with
their custody, openly say that they have been
stolen.
This la viewed at both the Treasury and War
Departments as a moat serious matter, and a
sensation was oan.i-d by tho discovery of thoir
abstraction. The whole amount of money which
passed through tho hands of the Commissioner
was $13,000,000. The aot of *67 in regard to
colored soldiers’ bounties makes the Commis
sioner liable for the honest distribution of all
moneys. It is on this thst a civil snit will be
inatitnted against him.
What They Eat la London.
Mr. Walterson, of the Lonisville Conrier-
Jonrnal, gives the following graphio account of
the English bill of faro:
What are we eating and drinking! Begad,
don’t mind telling yon that, either; for (take
note of it) this is a strictly confidential com
munication, written from ono friend to another.
We get np at 9 o'clock. (This is the enrionsest
country yon ever heard of. The sun does not
go down'till 10 o'oloek at night nnd rises again
abont 3 o'clock in the morning. Conscqnontly
yon do most of yonr sleeping in the daytime.
A perfect paradise in that respect for poker-
players.) I say we get np at o'clock and have
for breakfast a pot of jnst abont the thinnest
fluid that ever disgraced the name of coffee;
half rye, half chicary, one-third water and two-
thirds composite milk. Then wo have an ome
lette, pretty good. Then a rasher of breakfast
baoon; capital. Then a sole. As yon aro a
poor, ignorant croatnro, ill-advised, after all of
Dr. Humphrey's and Dr. Cralk’s preaching, FB
tell yon what a sole is. It fa not in reality a
tout, bnt a fish. What sort of a fish? A cross
between a pompano and a sucker—very meaty,
boneless and sweet.
Our dinners aro more elaborate. We begin
with a soup. I will take my oath before Hop
Prioe, “or any other man," that the English are
more successful m the fabrication of execrable
soaps than any of all the civilized people who
scalier death and dyspepeia over tho faoe of tho
globe. There is bnt one comfort abont our
soups; that of ohange and variety. To-mor
row's soup is tolerably anre to be a little worse
than to-day's soap: yon'll own that it is better
than a dull uniformity in Ustclessness. After
soup we have a turbot; and a tarbot is like the
early bird that deals in good intentions—as
pretty a finli as flies; it t>, in lie., a son of
promissory note—unlike the soup—improving
from d.y to day, and meaanrably palatable wiUt
some ahrimp and sauce. Next to the tarbot we
have a round of boef or a leg of mutton. Ah,
well: a body must e'en tell the truth now and
tneo, if he is writing to a newspaper, and, to be
square and open, tt must be owned thst the
English beat u* on Uef and mutton. Their
vegetables are second rate. They do not equal
n* in peas, potatoes, caobagee, cauliflowers,
beans, corn, or, in short, any one single vegeta
ble that we grow in common. They pride them
selves on -aweeta.’* Their “sweets" consist,
for the moet part, in pudding; and we have a
padding every day.
TnzKewOrleansl’ioaynne on unification: “it
is a Louisiana proposition—for Louisiana alone
—to as re the people of Louisiana from being
garroted by the thieves and tyrants who now
bold na by the throat. We heartily support the
great end songht to be obtained. We heartily
aasant to give the colored raoe all the political
rights and privilege* nnder the law the white
raoe possesses We merely desire s political
(miffcation of all raoee in Louisiana."

From the New York Hvrcoryl
The following ’ intercepted letter," from the
Home Journal, toll* fuuoily bow a young miss
feel* when ■nrcrptioualy engaged :
Data Allis ’■ 1 have got a real, live, grown-
np bean; *°d ■ 1 it jolly. He’s perfectly
.piendid ; Jwrt "*® those lovely wsx figure* in
the wind"**, only they can't use tbelr lips. It’s
my French teacher, and be esya "mi petite"
j„.t bke a cooing dove, and he always smells so
sweet of pond lilies! I don’t have anything to
do With tb# boy* now ; those little boys of nev.
erit4.cn and eighteen do very well when there
aro no m-n amend, if they can get money
enough from their paa to boy ns Gunther's can-
dies, but they can’t amuse n* girls of fonrteen
they seem just like babies, and when they try
to make love—O, my! arn't they mushy ? Now,
Monsieur Fontaine acta as if be had been en
gaged twenty times, although I'm his first love;
but we don't let on before ma, and Thnee. It
makes Arethusa awfnl mad to have me call her
T hose, and that's the reason I do it. I heard
h» r »*k ma the other day if that Freoch-
man'a manner* were not too familiar toward
tt a', child. Child! She's awfully afraid of my
lieing a yonng lady! What need she care,
now ahe'a married? Wasn't she spooney,
thongb, about Fred! When he used to oome
and see her, I would drag Tommy into the
room and pat my arm aronnd hi* waist and
squeeze hi* hand until her faoe wonld be ai
rod as a beet. Hnoh fan! I osngbt her kissing
him once—inch s littlo nipping kirn, just ss if
*he ware Usting pepper sauce. How, if I pre
tended to kiss s man, Td do it In right good
earnest; jnst plant my feet equate on the
ground and give to him sore pop right on the
bps. O, AUie, poor Those would go off on a
dead faint at my low bred expressions, and in.
form me, for the nine hundred and ninth time,
that my name is Ellsworth. Just as if I didn't
know my own name, and what dee* it matter
any way, when I expect to change it so soon ?
I do not intend to hang on to it till I am a horrid
old maid, like poor Miss Tracy opposite. Hbe
might bo a warning to the strongest-minded.
Hbp a nervous, and how I do Ioto to scare her.
I promised Tommy the other dsy five cents
worth of pea enta to let me hold him out of oar
third story window. He'd let me skin him for a
paper of pen nnts. So I got him ont, and knelt
down nnder tho window lodge, where I couldn't
be seen, and held tight bold of his wrists.
Those mink* my strength is disgusting. Pretty
noon there waa an elderly shriek, and then an
elderly form rnshed across the street to mother,
but by tho time they got np stairs I was seated
quietly at my crochet-work, and Tommy was
turning summeraanlu on tbo bod, over the
lovely fluted pillow-case*. And ma still thinks
it is poor Miss Tracy that is “a little wild at
times."
I lovs my brother Fred ever so moefa, bnt I
don't fee how he ever cams to fancy sneh a die-
away specimen as cor Those. Becanse she is
so awfnlly pretty, I suppose ; bnt she just tarns
him around her thumb. If he refuses to get
what she wants, she jnst looks Uke s martyr in
ths Aimes, and lets down all her back hair like
tho Magdalen* in the picture gallery. And
although thoy are roal pretty hanging on tho
walls, even »n artist does not want to sit at Iho
table three times a day opposite a livo one, with
her eyea rolled np and her hair down her back.
Ho poor Fred always gives in, and the smiles a
forgiving smile, puts np her hair, and groa off to
buy tbo line silk or the set of jewelry thst has
taken her fancy. And when she gets it eho
keeps tight hold of it, too. Bhe has never given
me even a enff button. Thnae always was
stingy. And she is so atnek-np, because she
has got a son. Jnst ns If it were something
wonderful. Why, Mrs. Tubbs, our lanndress,
has eight of them, besides one lhatwss drowned
and one scalded, and ahe isn’t a bit set np. But
Arethnsa says “my boy!” and does the mater
nal all to plocea. Sbo thinks Alexis is mado
ont of nloer materials than most babies, and I
know rhe doesn’t believe the catechism whore
it says he waa mado ont of the vulgar dost of
the earth. I suppose she thinks rose leaves and
corn starch were tuod to make np his delicate
organization. It wonld relieve my feelings to
seo a speck of dirt on that child's fsce; it
makes mo ache to see him so painfully clenn.
And aho thinks he is going to be a littlo Solo
mon, or some bnmbng or other.
Now, Allte, I have got a secret that yon
mnsn'ttell a living sonh If you do I will never
forgivo yon. I have promiied Monsieur Fon-
buno to bo married in threo weeks, on my four
teenth birthday, and if mother seems likely to
object wo aro going to elopo, jnst like tbo girls
In the novols. Won't it be splendid? Jnst think
wbat a sensation it will make! The Chicago
papers will be foil of it. “Elopement in high
life. Tho lovely daughter of tbo rioh and ele
gant Mrs. E h eloped with her teaober.”
Poor Those wonld do high tragedy, wring her
hands, and talk of the disgrace to thoir noble
honse of Ellsworth. I should think her delicate
ahonlders wonld ache from carrying onr noblo
honso so long. Now, don’t yon breathe a word
abont it, and I will stand by you if yon ran
away with a shoeblack.
Married at fonrteen! Jnst think! I shall
boat Those ont and out. Then, too, aomething
might happen to Monsionr Fontaine. Of coarse
I wouldn't hnvo anything happen to him for tho
world ; but then something might, you know—
tho railroads are always smashing np; and if
there should, why then 1 wonld be a yonng and
intereating widow; and black crape with my
fair oomplexion wonld bo so nweot, and O, Al
ii®, do yon think that I am too young to wear a
widow's cap ? What a blow that cap wonld bo
to Arctbnaa! Sbo wonld rather receive a whole
paper of neodles in her aide—that is, gold-
beaded ones, not yonr common steel things.
Now, AUie Wyndham, If yon tell yon'll be jnst
os moan as yon can be.
Celia Elllswosth (for a little while.)
Faov Russia to India.—1L de Lo seeps, the
builder of tbo Snez Canal, is to construct a rail-
road from Orenburg to Poahawar, a frontier
city of Afghanistan, and thus connect Boasts
with India. The length of the. road will be
3,740 kilometres (abont 2,324 miles,) and tho
lino will probably inn not between tho Black
and Caspian seas through the Caucasus, but
caatwsrdly from the Caspian either along its
coast or farther east nlong tho thither aide of
tho sos of Aral, np the Sir Daria, and thence by
the great monntain rage of Middlo Asia in a
wide bend past Bokhara, Herat, and Kabul.
England may object to having Bnsaia have snch
ready aocess to India, which might place Anglo-
Indian land traffia nnder Hussion control, bnt
U. de Lessepa is of the opinion that the con
struction of such a road in Central Asia wonld
pnt an end to tho antagonism between England
and Kussia.
Don't Swexb.—The President, if he drinks,
don’t swear. The Washington Star has the fol
lowing; “On Friday afternoon, before leav
ing for Long Branch, ths President took a stroll
along H afreet, and dropped in to see a friend,
who is a well-known citizen of Washington.
During hia stay the daughter of the gentleman
referred to romarked that ahe had heard a
pleasant thing abont him. The President In
quired to what she referred. *1 have been told
by an officer who served with you in the army,’
said she, ‘that he ha' been with yon nnder
many trying circumstances and that in no siDgle
instance, no matter what ths provocation, had
ho ever known yon to mako nso of profane
language. I was delighted to hear this, espe
cially in view of the fact that profanity is said
to be the rule and not the exception among
army efffaerr. Will yon exonse me, Mr. Presi
dent, if I inquire if what I beard is trne?' Tt
is, I believe,' modestly replied the President.
‘I have always regarded profane language as
unnecessary, tossy the least, and aa I am a man
of few words, I have never been able to under
stand the neoeesity for useless expressions of the
charaoter referred to."

Silveu Mini ix Eist TcofEjara.—The Knox
ville Press and Herald says:
“A report reaches us from Sevier county of
tho probable discovery of silver at a place in
that county known as tho ‘grape yard.’ An old
mine has been opened to some extent, and uten
sils consisting of picks, spades and crucibles,
used by some unknown race of tbs past have
been fonnd. The oldest inhabitants are unable
to give any aoeonnt of the mystie ‘money dig
gers.’ The vein of ore has not yet been reached,
bnt fragments of nearly pare silver, one of the
pieces about the size of a walnut, have been
taken or.:. The mine is in a cave, which opens
in a cornfield on the land of 'Squire H. B. Ba
ker. A hand-spike was fonnd which, beiDg
picked np, crumbled into dust, showing that the
length of time which has elapsed since the
former wotl.ing cf the mine has been very great
The disoovrry was made by Mr. Lord, liTing
south of th6 river in this county. Oar inform
ant waa present at an exploration of the cave,
and saw a nnmber of the fragments of silver
ore which have been fonnd. Considerable ex-
citement is said to prevail over the discovery.'
Fcom a report of Gen. D. H. Hill’s recent
address at Furman University, 8. 0.: “The ad
dress was weli delivered, and full, aa you wonld

tive. It ovefiowed with anecdote and history.
Sonth Carolina was Poland, and the North .-a

He is the first reconstructed man I have bear 1
