A TRECIOUS DOCUMENT.
From the Columbus (Ga.) Sun and Times.
The following letter was found in
the streets of Columbia immediately
aft'dr thfi &fmy of Gen. ‘Sherman had
left. The org’nal is still preserved
and can be shown and substantiated,
if anybody desires. We are indebted
to a distinguished lady of this city for
a copy, sent with a request for publica
tion. We can add nothing in the way
of comment on such a document. It
speaks for itself:
Camp Neau Camden, S. C , )
February 26, 1865. j
My Dear Wise —I have no time for
particulars. We have had a glorious
time in this State. Unrestricted li
cense to burn and plunder was the
order of the day. The chivalry have
been stript of most of their valuables.
—Gold watches, silver pitchers, cups,
spoons, forks, etc., etc., are as common
in camp as blackberries. The terms of
plunder are as fdlows : The valuables
procured are estimated by companies.
Each company is required to exhibit
the results of its operations at any
given place —ore.fifth and first choice
falls to the share cf the commander
in-chief and staff, one-fifth to the corps
command and staff, oneififth to field
officers of regiments, and two fifths to
the company.
Officers are not allowed to join these
expeditions without disguising them
selves us privates. One of our corps
commanders borrowed a suit of rough
clothes from one of my men, and was
successful in this place. —lie got a
. large quantity of silver, (among other
things an old-time silver milk pitch
er) and a fine gold watch, from a Mr
De Saussure at this place. Dc Saus*
sure is one of the F. F. V’s, of S. C.,
and was made to fork over liberally. -
Officers over Ihe rank of captain are
not made to put their plunder in the
estimate for general distribution This
is very unfair, and for that reason, in
order to protect themselves, subordi
nate officers and privates keep back
everything that they cun carry about
their persons, such as rings, earrings,
breast-pins, etc., of which, if I ever
live to get home, I have about a quart.
lam not joking —I have at least a
quart of jewelry for you and all the
girls —and some No. 1. diamond rings
and pins among them. Gen. Sherman
has silver and gold enough to start a
bank. II is share in gold watches |
and chains alone, at Columbia, was
two hundred and seventy-five (275.)
But I said I could not go into parti
culars. All the general officers and
many besides, have valuables of every
description down to embroidered la
dies* pocket handkerchiefs. (I have
my share of them too.) We took gold
and silver enough from the and and
rebels to have redeemed their infernal
currency twice over This (the cur
rency) whenever we come across it,
wc burned, as we considered it utterly
worthless.
I with all the jewelry this arrtiy has
could be carried to the ‘ Old I3ay
State/ , It would deck her out in
glorious style ; but alas ! it will be
scattered all over the North and Mid
dle States. The and and niggers,
as a general rule, prefer to stay at home
—particularly after they found out
that wc only wanted the able-bodied
men, (and, to tell you the truth, the
youngest and best looking women.)
Sometimes we took off whole families
and plantations of negroes, by way of
repaving the secessionists. But the
useless part of these we soon managed
to lose. —sometimes in crossing rivers
—sometimes by other ways.
I shall write to you again from Wil
mington, Goldsboro’, or some place in
North Carolina. The order to march
has arrived, and I must close hurried
ly. Love to grandmother and aunt
Charlotte. Take care of yourself and
the children. Don’t show this letter
out of the family.
Your affectionate husband,
TnoMAS J. Myers,

The Widow’s Stoliloqny
Here I am, with five children to
support; their father died in the army.
Have to w sh all day and sew half
the night to get a scanty living.
Oh 1 how my fingers ache and my
eyes pain me.
Congress establishes bureaus for the
dirty negroes, but no bureau is talked
of for my poor m thcrle*s children
My husband was a white nmn, and
they tell me his place at the election
will bo filled by a negro.
I wish I had a vote,
I would cast it for the Government
my husband died to maintain.
I don't know how it is, but they tell
me the rebellion was put down snd the
Union preserved.! and then the Con
gressmen at Washington say the Union
is divided, and can only be restored by
making negroes equal with white peo
ple.
They set the negroes free, and now
tax the White people to supped them.
I can’t understand why I am com
pelled to work for a living, and negroes
aie kept at the. public expeuse.
How my eyes do hurt.
The tariff bill will make mo pay fifty
cen's more for a pair of shoes for Tom,
a dollar more for a dress for Jane, ten
cents a pound more for coffee, and
make all the goods I have to buy
much higher.
I have hard times.
The tariff won’t increase the price of
flour, pork, potatoes, and such articles
as the farmers raise, which is one con
solation to me.
If there wasn’t so many officers, and
they didn’t get such high salaries,
these high tariffs would not be needed.
I must wash to-morrow for the in
come tax assessor. It will be a hard
day’s work.
He will pay me fifty cents for it.
lie gets four dollars a day for tax
assessing.
I work harder than he does.
What will I do with the fifty cents ?
Susan needs a dress, but I can’t buy
it.
We have no butter.
No coffee.
No meat.
Poor Willie is sick. I must spend
the half dollar for medicine for him ;
but drugs arc taxc and so high, it will buy
but little.
I don’t know what to do.
Winter is coming, and we have
nothing ahead to prepare for it.
The Postmaster says we can go to
the poor-house.
A poor-house for the wives aud fam
ilies of soldiers.
A bureau for negroes.
If we were negroes the Government
would care for us.
Tilings arc not fixed right.
Wc have a white population and a
black Congress. ,
The population ought to be made
black, and Congress white.
But my candle has burnt out, and I
mu 4 retire to my hard bed for a little
rest,
My God proteet us, since we are for
saken by those who took away my hus
band and the lather ot my helpless
children.
Forsaken by those who induced him
to volunteer.
Forsaken by those who promised to
care for us i:i his absence. —Holmes

The Sentiment of the Regular Ar
my.—A Washington correspondent
states that the President has received
from Gen. Sherman a very important
letter, not yet published, in which the !
General gives in his adhesion without
reserve to the President’s policy of re
construction. General Sherman was
prompted to this course, as is stated
and believed, by a feeling of resent
ment ol Beast Butler’s threats to wipe
out the regular army if it should sup- 1
port the President or obey his orders
when Congress shall unconstitutionally
and arbitrarily arrest, suspend and
deprive him of his office. It is confii
dently asserted that the whole army,
embracing all its prominent, general
officers, resent Bethel Butler’s mena
ces. Gen. Grant, it is likewise said, is
even more indignant than Sherman at
the conduct of Butler.
Chemistry of a Cup of Tea —The
cup of tea we drink, according to chem
ical analysis, contains volatile oil, chlo
rophyl, wax, rosin, gum, tannin, thoine,
cxtractine, apotheme, albumen, sul
phur, phosphorous, chloride of potas
sium, oxide of iron, carbonate of mag
nesia, manganese and silica —twenty
articles. The peculiar flavor
.lufe ,
lemon yellow color, and the smell of
tea. Liebig is of tbe opinion that tea
is not only an astringent and dilutant,
but possesses nutritive properties of
no mean kind. A great deal of pro
found chemistry is connected with the
i subject of theine as it exists in tea, and
caffeine in coffee; both of the same
property or substance, contained in
dissimilar vegetable productions —the
leaves of one tree and tbe berries of
the other. Tea and coffee act upon
i the nerves and upon the brain, and
have a quickening and refreshing in
fluence ; but taken in excess, result in
excitement prejudicial to sleep and
rest. Green tea is considered more
injurious to persons of a highly ner
vous temperament than the black. —

The following is a copy of the most
memorable judicial sentence which
has ever been pronounced in the.an
nals of the world—namely, that of
death against the Savior—with'the.
remarks which the journal. L< l)mt
, has collected, and the knowledge pf
which must be highly interesting to
| every Christian. Until now we are.
not aware that it has ever been pub
-1 lished. It is word for word as fol
lows : • •
Sentence pronounced by’ Pontius
Pilate, Intendant of the Lower Pro
vince of Galilee, that Jesus of Naz
areth shall suffer death by the cross. •
In the seventeenth year of the reign
of the Emperor Tiberius, and on the
24th day of the month of March, in
the most holy city of Jerusalem, dur
ing the pontificate of Annas and Ca
iaphas. ‘ ‘
Pontius Pilate, Intendant of the
Province of Lower Galilee, sitting to
judgment in the presidential scat.of
the Praator, sentences Jesus of Naza
reth to death on a cross, between rob.
bers, as the numerous and notorious
testimonies of the people prove:
1. Jesus is a misleader.
2. He has excited the people to scf
dition.
8. lie is an enemy to the laws.
4; He calls himself the Son of God
5. lie calls himself falsely the King
of Israel.
6. He went into the temple followed
by a multitude carrying palms in tbeir
hands.
Orders from the first centurion,
Quirrillis Cornelius, to bring him to
the place of execution.
Forbids all persons, rich or poor, to
prevent the execution of Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed the
execution of Jesus are,
1. Daniel Uobani, Pharisee.
2. John Zorababcl.
3. liaphael ltobani.
4. Capet
Jesus to be taken out of Jerusalem
through the gate of Tournes
This sentence is engraved on a plate
of brass, in the Hebrew language, aud
on its sides are the following words:
“A similar plate has been sent to
each tribe.’’
It was discovered in the year 1280
in the kingdom of Naples, by a search
made for Roman antiquities, and ic
mained there until it was found by the
Commission of Arts in the French
army in Italy Up to the time of the
campaign in Southern Italy it was pre.
seived in the sacristy of the Carthusi
ans, near Naples, where it was kept in
a box of ebony. Bince then the relic
has been in the Chapel of Caseria.
The Carthusians obtained, by their pe
titions, permission to keep the plate,
which was an acknowledgment of the
sacrifices which they made for the
French army. The French translation
was made literally by the members of
Commission of Arts. Denon had a
sac simile of the plate engraved, which
was bought by Lord Howard on the
sale of his cabinet for 2.800f. There
seems to be no historical doubts as to
the authenticity of this. The reasons
of the sentence correspond exactly
with those in the Gospel. — [Transla

Methodism in the United Statds.--
The Methodist Church in this country
is just one hundred years of age. It
commenced bu iness over an obscure 1
grocery store, in 1766, in the city of
New York. The official ccdsus now
places it, -numerically, far in advance
of any other religious body ; and the ;
general religious statistics of the coun- i
try show that it comprises nearly one--
half of all our Protestant communi
cants. The different bodies of the
Methodist Church comprise about
2,000,000 communicants ; 15,000. lo- ’
cal and 14,000 traveling preachers,
200 colleges and academies, with 32,- |
006 students, publishing; institutions, |
with an aggregate capital of about 81,.
000,000 —the one in New York .citv
having on its catalogue more than 800
books, and 900 tracts, besides .2,200
Sunday scho r l volumes, and scattering
more than 1,000,000 copies of the lat.
ter annually, and 800,000 copies of
Sunday school periodicals monthly.

Columbus (O.) Statesman.
Prentice of the Louisville Journal ,
says that during the rebellion men fled
from the South for safety. Let the 1
Northern Radicals beware lest the |
time soon come when men will fly to {
the South for safety.
The new Germanic Confederation,
over which Prussia now enjoys military
and political supremacy, can raise an
effective military force of
men. Os these 650,000 belong to the
regular armies, and 466,Q00 to the

The jail was constructed'ia. 1838 of
twelve-inch pitch pine timber, covered
with shingles, so well seasoned that the
fire flew through it with frightful rap

the prisoner.
There is no doubt but that the pris

of having the doors opened, when ho
stood a very fair chance of making his
escape, as just opposite the jail is a
dense woods and thicket. The man
whose head was split open died this

T Vhat Newspapers do for Nothin"-.
—The following article should be read
and pondered well by every man who
takes a newspaper without paying for
| it :
My observation enables me to state,
as a fact, that publishers of newspapers
arc more poorly revvardcrod than any
other class of men in the United States
who invest an equal amount ot labor
capital and thought. They are ex
pected to do more service Tor less pay.
to stand more sponging and ‘‘dead
heading,” to puff and defend more peo
ple without feo or hope of reward, than
any other class.
They credit wider and longer, get
oftener cheated, suffer more pecuniary
loss, are oftener the victims of mis
placed confidence than any other call
ing in the community. People pay a
printer’s bill with much more reluc
tance than any other. It goes harder
with them to expend u dollar on a
valuable newspaper than ten on a need
less gewgaw; -yet everybody'avail
himself of the use of the editor’s pen
and the [rioter's ink. . .•
llow many prole.-:-’ mail and political
reputations and fortunes have ‘been •
; made and ‘<'>-! dried by the •tViend.ly
though unfcequi.t id pen of the editor?
