ments have been made between Generals
Grant and Lee for exchanging deserters.
Many are intimidsted from coming over
because of this statement.

Substantial evidence of the design of the
rebels to evaeuste Richmond is found in the
fact of Sheridan's raid. The files of the
Richmond Wing and all OF the surplus

FROM REBEL PAPERS.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 23d copies
the following from the Augusta papers,
relative to Shermsn's army at Columbia.
The reason why the State House was not
destroyed, was because Sherman could not
spare powder. The State records were re-
moved to a place of safety. Nearly all
the plate sent from Charleston to Colum-
bissfor safety, and much of the valuable
plate of the citizens of Columbia, which
was stored in the Columbia bank vaults,
all fell prIze to the enemy. All of the
assets of the various banking institutions of
Columbis were removed, except large
amount of silverwsre that had been placed
in their vaults for ssfe-keeping. The eff
fects of the State Bank were afterwards
captured by the enemy.
The entire printing interest of the Char
lesion Mercury was destroyed at Char
lotte Junction, during sherman's march
through that place.
Some Yankee officers, who escaped from
Jail in Columbis, made their appearance in
public when Sherman made his appear
ance in that place. They had been So
creted in the city by Northern sympsthi-
zers. The whites which left Columbia
with Sherman number about 200, and the
negroes 1900.
The Sentinel says: It is stated that
Sheridan travelled down the river in grand
style; his equipsge is said to have been a
splendid carriage drawn by four splendid
grsys, all of course stolen from citizens of
the county.
The Canton CNliss.) Citizen gives glowing
accounts of enthusiastic public meetings
and the wonderful unanimity among the
people, and declares this sentiment pre-
vsils through the entire South.
The Fayetteville Observer mentions
mneh dependency in North Carolina, and
thinks that it extends through the entire
South.
The Raleigh Progress gives the follow
ing account of the battle on the 18th;
A severe fight commenced at noon of the
18th and continued briskly until night
Considerable skirmishing was carried on
sll night, and on Thursday morning the
battle oomnnsnnad fnrinnsly and ragged the
whole day. General Hsrdee, with about
half q corps, was entrenched between tht
Black creek and Cape Fear river, at NJ
great distance from the confluence Of thest
streams, but at point higher up than ths
at which the enemy crossed the forme
stream. Here he was attacked by a corp
of Sherman's veterans, and our works ver
charged three separate times and eael
charge was repulsed with immense slaugh
ter. We do not understand the position O
Bragg but are informed his troops wer
driven back, which made it necessary 70
Hardee to fall back to prevent beinl
fanked.
