OCCUPATION OF COLUMBIA BY
SHERMAN.

The Montreal Ocean Company's steamship St.
David, from Portland on the evening of the 18th
February, arrived at Greencastle at 10 p.m. yes-
terday.

(VA Grelocastia.)
NEW YORK, Fa. 18, Eviame.

Philadelphia papers announce that the Richmond
papers of Thursday state that Sherman's main
columns had reached Kingsville Junction, 25 miles
north-east of Columbia. The communication south
of the Florence Railroad and on the Charleston
Railroad is interrupted.
A Confederate flag of truce boat has blown up on
the James River. All on board were lost.
The House of Representatives has passed the
Tariff Bill and rejected the proposition to tax
sales of merchandise.

Mr. Stevens' proposed tax of 10 per cent. upon
gold sales has been defeated.

NEW YOBS., Yu. 18, 11.30 P.M.

General Grant reports to Mr. Stanton this even-
ing, that to-day's Richmond Ilevatch says Sherman
entered and took possession of Columbia yesterday
morning.

Generat Beauregard communicated this intelli-
gence officially yesterday.
From his deepatcb, it appears the Federals
shelled Columbia on Thursday, from the south
bank of the Congaree. During the night they
moved up the river, and on the following
morning forded the Soluda and Broad Rivers.
During the Federal passage of these rivers
Beauregard evacuated Columbia. The Federals
soon after took possession. Two days previously,
when it was decided not to attempt the defence of
Columbia, a large quantity of medicinal stores were
destroyed. The despatch presumes that the fall of
Columbia will necessitate the evacuation of Charles-
ton, which the despatch thinks has already com-
menced.

The general impression is that Sherman will now
proceed to Charleston to establish his base, but the
Despatch does not see what need he has of
• base, he subsists on the country, and Lie
army has snot been exhausted by any battle.
Since he left Savannah Sherman declared his
intention to march to Columbia, thence to
Augusta and thence to Charleston. This Beau-
regard oonsiders was made as • boast to bide
his designs. The despatch thinks that he will
next strike at Charlotte or at Florence. It was re-
ported yesterday that the Federals bad captured
Augusta, but the despatch discredits the report.
The Charleston Mercury announced • temporary
suspension on Saturday, with the view to its re-
moval to another point, this being rendered neces-
sar► by the progress of military events.
Captain Semmes has been made a rear admiral,
with the command of the James River squadron.
