| What I saw and hea rd at Columbia
| on the 1 6th, 17 th f IS?7t and 19f4
of February, 1805. •
I. On the 10th of Fedruary the array,
j of General Sherman met on the right
j bank of the Cocgarce river, opposite
[ Columbia. . In uniting, the right came
into position on the left. The bridge
j over the Congaree and those over the
Saluda and broad rivers, which unite 1
and form the former about one mile j
above Columbia, had been burned.
(The latter streams are about as large, 1
and the former perhaps twice as large, 1
jas the Miami at this point.) To facil-
I itate the crossing and to get into proper j
positon, the army of the Cumberland j
marched, by the left flank, to a position j
‘about five miles, and the 15th array!
• corps (army of Tennessee) up the !
i. Saluda about one mile from its junc
j ion with the broad. -j
] Wishing for'a lc Good Excuse.’’
Next morning in company with this
same officer, I started to visit .the ruins, j
On our way we met crowds of soldiers, i
who were yelling, singing, waving gold j
watches, handsful of gold, jewelry, {
and rolls ot rebel shinplasters in the
air, and boasting of having burned.the j
town. One was staggering- Under, .the 1
weight of ahuge basket filled with silver ‘
plate. ■’ ■ ■ |
The 17th Army Corps, Army of
Tennessee, went into camp on the [
hanks of the Congaree within less than i
one mile from the centre of the town.
From our camp the whole city was- in
plain view. No troops, save a few j
skirmishers along the river, or citizens, |
could be seen on the streets ol* about !
the town. I had never seen eo much
carelessness in exposing camps and
troops, in plain view of a place, occn- !
pied by rebels, and remarked to aj
captain of artillery that they could ‘
make us scatter by opening a battery
on our camp, and the column of troops
marching on the road within musket
shot of the town. u So they could, and
I hope they will fire at us. We wish
for a good excuse to blow tlio town to
the devil, and will do so on the first
provocation. They know better, how
ever, and will not disturb our sleep to
night.” A few shots were exchanged !
between the pickets of the two armies I
across the Congaree and Saluda,—
Near our camp, and close by the road •
on which the 15th Army Corps was
marching, were the remains of Camp
Sorghum, where Federal officers had
been kept as prisoners of war.

■ Columbia Foredoomed. t
The feeling of the Army of Tenncs-1
see is so well illustrated by a profane j
and ferocious doggerel, which was J
sung by hundreds of the 15th Army!
Corps :
“Hail Columbia, harpy land,
’ If I don't burn you I’ll 6e d-—T-li."'.
This effusion was said to have been .
Uttered by a IMajor General as he was ‘
crossing the Saluda. . (it was not
Sherman.) The doom of Columbia
was decided at Camp Sorghum, and !
neither Gen. Sherman nor any other j
man could have saved it from severe
treatment. The 15th Army Corps
crossed the Saluda with hut little
opposition, and encamped on the
tongue of land between it and the
13road Nest morning (IT) about 8
a. m., loud aud repeated explosions
in the city were heard. At 9a. m.,
an extensive fire was seen in the,
neighborhood of the Charlotte railroad j
depot, From this to 11 a. m., cotton
wa# seen burning in streets-. About j
this time brisk skirmishing was beard
to the north of the city. Immediately j
a squad of soldiers froin the 13th lowa 1
sprang into two small boats and pad- I
died across the Congaree. On landing !
they started for the State House, in
order to have the honor of raising the
flag of their regiment on the building
in advance of the 15th Army Corps. 1
White flags were now seen on most I
of the houses and in the hands of citi- i
zens on the streets.
The Fire to be seen when Sherman's j
Army Entered.
Just then the bugles of our division !
sounded strike tents, and we were in
a few minutes cn the route taken by !
the 15th Army Corps. As the route
was encumbered with the’ trains of
these troops, and some five miles in
length, we did not reach Columbia
until about 8 p. m. As we marched
through the town there was no sign or
appearance of fire any where. Crowds
of intoxicated soldiers were on the
streets crying “Here’s your whisky;
here’s your tobacco/’
The Carnaval of Destruction Begins.
At 9 p. m. we reached our camp on
the plantation of ex-Governor Adams,
of slave trade notoriety. Scarcely had
we gone to camp, when almost every
other man came in with a box of
Madeira wine on his shoulder, and a
•high old time” was inaugurated.
It was reported that there were
10,000 bottles of the article in the ex
-1 Governor's house, aDd a still larger
quantity in that of Secretary Trenholm.
As to the amount I cannot say, but
there was wine enough rhtained from
Thomasville, Georgia, Wednesday, August 1, 1866.
their houses to make more men in- our
division drunk than I ever saw. in two
years before. About’ 10 p. m.. fire
j began to spread over the city, and. a.
noise from the grand reyel could be
heard.’
’ ‘Xihr Entire City ill Earner.’ . .
About midnight an intimate friend,
w:ht> had been in the plaee-from three
. o’clock in the afternoon, returned to
the regiment and reported as. follows :
( *The whole city, is in flames, and the
whole, army is drunk.” The place is
swimming with liquor, brought from
Savannah, Charleston and Wilming,
ton by the blockade runers, and aban
doned. The citizens, in their desire
to please the soldiers, deluged them
with it, and then women and children
were on the streets, handing liquors
! to . every blue-coat that came along,
i The guards have been changed three
times already. .As fast as they are
changed they get drunk. :
[ . Plunder Without'Restraint. ‘■ ■
I As we passed by'the’ Lunatic’ A-sy
[ lum we were surrounded by hundreds
of men, women and children, bogging
for protection. On the grounds, at
tached to this building were thousands
whom the fire-had rendered houseless
and homeless, congregated at the Only
place of .refuge left-iu that efuartef of
the city.’ Near by a crowd of soldiers,
accompanied by a pet’lornjcr seated by’
a piano, were singing “Brown.”
On Main street, .for near one . mile,
there was not a single house standing,
and on a space as large’ as’ this city
there were not twenty. ‘
Terrible. Evidences of Thel'r “Rage
’ and HaUP.
The streets throughout ibis district’
were covered with broken and burned
remains of furniture ot every variety’..
Near tho new State House- a large
bonfire of tobacco,, near 200 feet’ long
50 feet wide and five feet high, was
burning, and wasting its fragrance on
the air. A number- Os Jews ,weie
standing by, weeping and exclaiming.:
“M© poor, me starbj starb, .starb.—
Your mens conic in mine house, kicks
me out, sets fire to mine house. Me
carry mine topaccy out on the streets.
Your mens put wood on him and
punrs all mine topaccy.” Around,
the new State House, however, were
stronger evidences of the rage and
bato of the kjoldiors toward everything
belonging to, or connected with the
State of South Carolina, than even the
general appearance cf the town. This
building was unfinished. Most of the
ornamental portion had not been re
moved from the boxes in whicli it had.
been brought there. There were the
remains of fluted columns, capitals,
entablatures, friezes and cornices, of
the finest Italian marble, that had been
destroyed by fire, defaced by blows
from muskets, and mashed by . axes
and hammers- •
Monument of the Gallant Dead Dese
crated. ■
Even the monument.erected by the
State to the gallant’dead of the Pal
metto Eegiment (Ist South. Carolina) ■
in the 31exiean war, had not been
spared. It consisted of four ■ iron
columns, resting on. a foundation of I
stone, and supporting an iron platform i
surmounted by a Palmetto tree of the.l
same material, twenty feet high and
painted green, a true copy, from na

iron columns below, were inscribed
the names, residency cause and date
of death of all the dead of the regi
ment. One of the panels- has been
battered to pieces

At noon I returned to my regiment, I
engaged in destroying the railroad 1
near the city. Close at hand was a
vacant building containing a fine li
brary belonging to the Rhett, Barn- [
well, Ilcywood and )liddleton families.
It was fired and burned in the pres-.
encc, and without a word of rc-mo-n- |
strance, of an officer ■ commanding a’
brigade, who has since been a candi

a Western State. .•• . ■ j
Columbia in- Ruins.
On the -19th, hundreds .of m'cn
were engaged in destroying the last
vestige of everything that had been
or could be used for military purposes:
Houses that had been us-ed for that
purpose were burned and battered
down under the superintendence of
(fen. Sherman. Fires repeatedly oc
! curred where houses were found to •
contain cotton, tar or turpentine,—
The guards declared they were, cases ‘
cf “spontaneous combustion,’’ the
1 “heart of King Cotton, becoming fired
j at the sight of the stars and stripes.”
j At 5 p. m. the large arsenal was blown
1 up. The standing order on the march
: to the sea, to destroy government
j property “in a manner more devilish
i than can be dreamed of,” was fully
I carried oat. Next morning our brig
ade, the last of Sherman’s army, left
the ruins of what had been a city of
30,000 inhabitants.
Hhe Author.
A lady asked Gen Sherman : “Why
did you burn our town, or allow your
army to do so?” “I did not burn
1 your town nor did my army. Tour
brothers, sons, husbands and fathers
set fire to every city, town and villiagc
in the land when they fired on Fort
| Sumter That fire, kindled then and
there by them,, has been burning, ever
since, .and reached your hou-e. last
night.!’ “Well, were you not in com
mand of the array last night ?” “T i
did not command my army last night, !
and cannot command my men when i
they arc drunk.” “Will yo.u allow, us
to go. to Charleston ?” “You have my .
full consent to go wherever you wish,
.but do not go'there. If my army
should go there, . and it may do so.,
they’ will not leave one stone on anoth- ■

AEEDEIUL GENERAL’S ESTf.
MATE OF TIIE CHARACTER
AND COURAGE OF THE SOUTH.
Gen. F. P. Blair, in a conservative
.Union speech at St. Louis, a few days
ago,- paid.the following compliment to.
j the Southern States:
They have evinced courage and cn
uarence. By their gallantry and by
their long-suffering in this cause,’ so
mistaken, arid so. erroneous, and so
criminal, they have shown themselves
to be the equals of an equal number
of any limn upon God Almighty's
globe. [Applause.] Those who have
contended against them are those who
are readiest to admit that they have
shown themselves to be- tlie equals of
any other people in the world, [Ap
plauso,] Not only . have’ they shown •
themselves., ready to admit that these
men a.ro their’ equals, but they have.’
shown themselves the readiest to over
look the past, and forget what there, is
weed of forgetting; and to receive
those men back into the Government,
with all their rights and dignity ©f.
tlieir . respective States unimpaired,’
simply.requiring from them upofo the
pledge which they will give, that they
’ will renew their allegiance to the Gov-. ,
‘.eminent of the .United States. [Ap
nlausc.] Cannot we trust ■ that, pledge
•if these men will give it to us 2 Have 1
WO not reason to believe that they arc’
men of sincerity? Can we npt con
fide in these brave men ? . I say that
we earn [Applause.] • I say that this
is the only way-in which they can be •
brought back ■ into- th.e Government
and bound to it by links of ‘ gratitude,
stronger than any links* of steel'.that
can be wrought. [Applause] •■ • •
And now I will ask, what, foreign
nation is there on earth that would not
be proud and happy to receive these
people and give them all the. rights of
citlzetiHlup e-njojred luj anj ul‘ tliuli
citizens ? ‘ [Applause] ‘.-Would’ not
France bo eager to do it? Would not
Great Britain bo too proud to extend
her dominion over that-proud country,
sharing her- Government-with those
gallant, noble men who have vindica
ted their right to manhood .in this
contest .unparalleled in the history of
war? Would not any f'oregn nation
upon the face of the earth be willing
to receive this people? Not receive
them on degrading terms, but- receive
them in open arms upon an equality
with her other citizens. • .

Coming E-vents. —A literary curi- j
osity has just appeared in London, ;
under the title of “Louis Napoleon the
destined Monarch of the World,”-etc., <•
by the Itev. M. Baxter, author of “The :
Coming Battle.” It is said that twelve
thousand copies have been sold, the
book finding readers, notwithstanding ;
its absurdity, on account of the note
worthy names used by the author as
authorities. We are indebted to Mr.
; Baxter for the cheerful news that the
| world is to end in 1873, so that the
i people may set about their prepara
tions for that event as soon as they
like ; but during the brief interval of
’ six or seven years the Emperor of the
1 French is to become sole monarch of
, the world, personally representing the
Anti christ of the latter day. He is
to become supreme over England and
most Os America, the rest of Christen
dom submitting to his sway. He is
to make a covenant with the Jews,
who by-his-aid are to return to Pales-"I
tine, resume.their rank.as .a nation, j
and rebuild Jerusalem.- Napoleon is
I then’ to begin .and carry on -the perse- |
[ cuti.on of'Christians which answers to !
, the pouring out of the vials. ‘ “Two 1
! years and six weeks” after the date j
| of the covenant'with the Jews, “the !
asccntion of the one hundred and
forty-four thousand wise virgin's"’ is ;
expected to occur. The . Jews arc to
be favored only for seven .years , and
two and- a half months, .and then the •
great battle of Armageddon is to take 1

A Squad of Plunderers. —Thad.
Stevens owns iron-mills in Gettysburg
and wants to plunder the pcople'of the
United States to make * them more
profitable. Justin A. Morrell owns !
marble-quarries in 3 ermont, and wants
to plunder the people of the .whole
Union, so as to get a higher price for
his blocks. 31 r. Griswold, of Troy,
is a manafacturcr of railroad iron, and
I desires to prevent his fellow-citizens
from buying cheaper railroad iron
1 abroad, whereby every man who rides
on railroads in the United States must
suffer for 3lr. Griswold’s benefit. 3lr.

.ten percent, lidded to the” duly on
wire iron, which ton per cent, is plun
dered from tho pockets of the people,
to .“represent” whom he paid several
thousand dollars in election bribery

from the 3lonroe district.in this. State,
is largely interested in the salt works
of Saginaw, Michigan, and probably
also iii the Syracuse, salt monopoly,
and joins the ring. of. plunderers that

The-proportions of the human figure

the rule holds good ; any deviation
’from - it is ado part tire from the highest
beauty of .proportion. The’ Greeks
made all their statues according to this
rule. The face, 1 from the highest point
.oh. the forehead, where the hair begins
to the'chin, is one tenth .of the whole
stature. The hand, from the wrist to
the-middle finger is the same. : From

The North Carolina member of Con
grcfjs, of Gen. Jackson’s time, who
told his audience at Washington that
he was speaking, not to them, but to
“ Cun comb,”. was. the representa
tive of a very large class, who flourish
to this day. One. of the counties
adjoining liuncorab is Rutherford, and
indeed we think they were formerly .
comprised in one county. It appears
from a debate in. the North Carolina
Convention on Monday, last, that one
of the delegates from Rutherford, and
another from Wayne, addressed them
selves as assiduously to ‘dJuncomb’’ as
did the member of Congress above
mentioned. ‘ We copy firrm the Con
vention reports of the Raleigh Pro
gress i’ .
Mr. Person, of Wayne, said The ’
delegate from Rutherford had said lie
was prepared to let the State* have all
ol the per diem and .mileage due him,
besides what was necessary to pay
actual expenses, and wait on the State
to pay the remainder. .Mr. Person
was prepared to go further, although
lie was'as poor as.a church-mouse, and
if ‘steamboats’ were- selling at three
cents apiece, he would not” be able to
buy a gangway plank, - yet h e was
•willing, not only to let the State, have
the per uiem and mileage duo him,
but. he was willing, if it would relieve
the. people, to walk home aud lead a
