LIEUTENd VT GENERAL H1RDEE.

A correspondent of the Columbia South CaEo-
Haiai,, writing from Atlanta, August 20, says
1t has been known for some time past, to some Of
lis at least, that Lieutenant-Generl William j,
lIardee had rendered his resignation in consequence
of the ungenerous attacks upon General Johnston
and his campaign by the friends OF the Administra-
tion General Hardee having endorsed the conduct
of General Johnston Throughout the long and te-
dlous campaign, looked upon these unnecessary as
saults as an indirect attack upon him officer
and, feeling that they alike unjust to himself
and his former commander, felt constrained to re-
tire from a field where his services and worth was
not recognized. The country, and especially the
Army of Tennessee, will rejoice III the report that
appeal TO his patriotism by his countless friends
and admirers has caused him to withdraw the
is still in command Of his veteran corps,
and, as ever, holds the post OF honor Amid
all the unfortunate chickering's among our generals
here, taint of suspicion toul-mcuthed slander
has been breathed against HIM and to-day, iii all
the various organizations with which he has been
connected. none are more beloved than this gray
haired veteran Ever occupying the post OF honor
and of danger, and calm and fearless III the know
ledge of his own Intrinsic worth, he has stood, not
only the of BATTLE but also the brois OF petty
ard malignant warfare, waged for and against the
leaders Of the Army of the West, calmly looking
forward to his countrys interest, without thought
OF personal advancement; and when twice offered a
position that would give greater scope his powers
and ambition, he modestly declined the promotion,
preferring to remain with the gallant men whom he
had led so long and well and, following closely
upon the removal of General Johnston, who, what
ever may be said Of his ability and policy, certainly
was dolized by the army, tremde 10 think Of what
the result would have been.

FRIeHrFuL ScgSE-Tne Atlanta correspondent
of the Columbus Times gives the following deserip-
ton Of the scene that followed the losion Of one
Vi the enemys shells III the basement Of the Presby
terrain Church ON Marietta street:
On Wednesday night large 42-pound shell
entered the Presbyterian Church, Marietta street,
and, after passing through the pulpit, exploded in
the basement, OF Sunday school room. Several
families living in the vicinity having taken refuge
there were more less stunned and injured by the
explosion and one man had his right arm taken off
The scene in the room was frightful; it Was after
midnight, and all the inmates were sleeping peace
fully, perfectly confident of security. Mothers
caught up their children hurriedly and rushed
franticaly into the Streets screaming, though With
out any definite purpose i'll view save that of es.
Gaping for the time from the which had struck
such terror into their seuls and there out upon the
Streets they stood erouehng with their little fan-
lies clinging around them, and knowing not where
to fy for safety. Shell after shell, in rapid success
siol came screaming through the air, and the
light Of each terrific explosisn--iike. lightning
fiashes-quiyered over them the figure Of one paie-
faced mother could be described, with bare, out
stretched arms, yainly hoping TO shield her little
ones from the falling fragments. Oh, the heartless
cruelty Of the foe | Oh, the mighty depths of q
mother love!
Assistance came at last, however, and the panic.
stricken women and children were huddled Oh int
the bomb- proofs Of kind neighbors in more securs
localities, and the wounded properly cared for.

1ANhEE DClNSS In Lille
BY a private letter, dated August 25th, received
by gentleman i'll this city from Charlestown, we
learn that the Yankees under Sheridan, have spread
Clesolation throughout jefferson county Says the
writer: sour wealthiest farmers are stripped OF
everything. Mr.. Richard Washington, for instance,
had everything he had taken from him; even the
ladies' clothes were torn to pieces MIR. robert W.
Baylor has been served tiO same way also, MesSia
Bushrod W. Herbert, Frank Iiooii, John Hammond
and number Of other gentlemen. They had conf
menced their work of destruction at Mr.. Lawrence
ooff's when, hearing the firing Of our guns, they
were frightened off. They staid long enough, how
ever to take five horses and 10 break up the furi
ture In the town, they had not commenced their
work Of destruction when they were chased out -
Many think that the burning of Chambersburg was
the salvation of this place sheridan has sent North

Mr. John s. Robertson, of Martinsburg, who CAME

other grew worse while they We're burying her sister
The father was at her grave; and after the funeral
ceremonies were over, he FASTENED home to witness
the sufierngs of the other, when he Was met few
wards from his house by band Of armed Yankees,
who placed before him the alternative of taking the
Yankee oath and remaining with his family, or ili-
prisonmept upon his refusal to do SO. He spulned
their conditions, and dragged away without even
being permitted to bid his only surviving and dying
