Suudry mistakes and mis.states

Suudry mistakes and mis-. statements having
been made in respect to the destruction of
'tWoodlands," the plantation and country seat
of W. Gilmore Simms. a brief account Of the
real facts may be proper The particulars We
gather from a letter written to the author, by
Mrs.. II. Pinckney, e lady who; with her family,
a friend and two children, occupied the dwell
ing during his absence; and partly from circum-
stantial details furnished subsequently from
other and trustworthy sources. When the
enemy seaehed the neighborhoed, Mrs. P. sd-
dressed letter te Sen. Blair, requesting pro
lection for the dwelling and library and sug-
gestins the enormity Of the crime which could
destroy books especially such collection
come ten thousand volumes-1nade with great
care, during period of forty years, and con
etituting, perhaps, the most valuable library, to-
literary man, to be found in the Confederacy
Before an answer could be received to this ap
plication, bands of atragglers had penetI ated
the house aud begun the work of robbery. The
trunks and bureaus were at once broken open.
In the midst Of this scene the guard sent by
Gen. Blair made it's appearance, and relieved
the house of the plunderers. The General
himself, with Gen. Howard and other officers,
visited the estate, and spent some time in the
- examination of the library. They took away
collection of maps, including Mills Atlas of
South Carolina, and perhaps few other vo-
lanes. They also cauied- off couple Of
double barrelled guns and rife; but nothing
besides of any, Importance, and their deport-
ment was courteous and becoming. They left
sufficient guard behind them, and the build
ing was saved while this guard remained osths
premises. But with their departure, frequent
attempts TO burn the house at night were made.
ard the ladies became so much alarmed and
VT carried with night watching, that they fed,
ard sought refuge for themselves and family at
the neighborin hamlet Of Midway. With
t1eir departur ne .felons succeeded in their
design. The house, very extensive, newly
built one. and only partially finished, but with
six habifable rooma besides the library, was

Successive bands of these came BY hourly, for

These miserable misoreants have thus, for few

and ench a collection of literature as has rarely
been made in our esnntry, and such as is not
likely TO be made again. The larger and better
portions of the furniture had been previously

were left full, and sixteen large boxes of choice

dwelling, the incendiaries destroyed the kitchen,

twenty.eigh. or thilty negroes. These .particu.
lars may be all relied on. Mr.. simms has no
reason to doubt that the work of incendiarism
was wholly done by struggling squads of the
enemy. He has no reason to suppose that the
negroes were criminal. and the investigation
