house, somewhere about that morning: "ln

to be ended5' He replied: "You will the
bugles at sunrise, when guard will enter the
town and withdraw these troops. 1t will then
cease, and not bcfores Sure enough, with the
bugle's sound and the entrance Of fresh bodies
Of troops, there wae an instantaneous arrest of
incendariem. Youceuld see the rioters carried
off In groups and squads from .he several pre-
c'ncts they Mad ravaged, and thoss which they
still meditated to destroy. The tap of the
drun.s the sound of the signal cannon, could not
have been more decisive Ill Its effect, more
prompt and complete. No farther fires were
set, among private dwellings, after sunrise; and
the flames only wert up from few Alaccs
where Inc fire had been last applied; and these
were rapidly expiring. The best and most
beautiful portion of Columbia lav in ruins
rose with wen countenancRs peering dimiy
through the dense vnpors whidaS seemed wholly
to overspread tho. frn,ament Very miserable
was the spectacle. On every side ruins, and
smoking masses Of blackep>l Walls and towers
OF grim, ghastlY ebnneys, and between, III
deso!ate groups Hcciiiing mattress, or bed,
or earth, We're wrctcheG women and children,
gazing eacantiy on tie site Of once blessed
abode of hoye and innocence. Rowing detach

them. There werc those who looked and
fingered nigh, with tannt and SARCASM. Othe,s
there were, in whom Humanity did not sasm
wholly extineuished: and others aesia, TO their
credit be ii said, as won drcus exceptions from

wers truly sorrowful and symrathitine, who

of men, from an unlocked for explosion. 1t is |
reported n one case that no less than forty men,
with their ofcers-one entire company-were !
| blown to pieces in one precinct, and hslf as
many in another. But the facts cap never be |

Yankee orderlies. The magnificent steam |

with the house assigned to their engravers. and
another house, stored with stationery and book
stock-perhaps the most complete establish |

Something should be saio in respect to tie

the influences employed bv which to beguile or
