I [From tlie Hamilton’ [Ohio] Telegraph ] | 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. 7 ■ 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 ture, On brass panels-, between ..the ■ 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 TlT tai teas done hjj Northern Demo ■ crats. ’ 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 date on the Democratic .State .ticket in j 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- ■ er jn that city.” . * : ♦<*- >- 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.

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.
