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, Lieutenart, etc. P. S.—l will send this by the first flag of truce to be mailed, unless I have an opportunity of sending it to Hilton Head. Tell Ballie lam saving a peail bracelet and ear rings for her. But Lambeit got the necklace and breastpin ot the same set. lam try ing to trade him out of them. These were taken from the Misses Jamisons, daughters of the President of the South Secession Convention. “ T trio through Georgia. This lett- r was Thos. J. Myers, Boston, ilnwooai! The Coming Meteorio choicer. — J There is a slight difference of state- j ment as to the time of the promised display of celestial pyrotechnics. Some of the learned professors announce it for the 12th proximo—others lor the i 14th. As it is to be a free exhibition, and for one night only, the public will , do well to keep a lookout for the first j date. ___ -• • •- ► — Marriage of Senator Charles Snm ner.—Hon. Charles Sumner was mar ried in this city on Wednesday to Mrs. Alice Hooper, daughter of Jonathan Massey, Esq., of Boston. The nuptial ceremonies were performed by Bishop 1 Eastlurn. The honeymoon is to be parsed in Newport. —Boston Post, ; 11M. 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 County (0.) Farmer. 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. — I Chemical Aletcs. A roBAKCT TKtNNt'UIPT OF f Tin: ni vivmi: oi dkatii FHOMIUIM ED AGA INST JISMS/S (Hit IST. 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 ted from the Kotidsche Zeitunj. 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. -—— * ♦ • u js this a Dagger that 1 see be \fore me ? y —Gen.

There was no chance of saving the prisoner. There is no doubt but that the pris oner set tire to the jail for the purpose 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.

O . r- —■ ■■*■ 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.
