Press Dispatch.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The Augusta
Constitutionalist OF the 18th ult., says
the 18th and 18th corps, with Sherman s
command, has a baggage train three
miles long The 18th corps became drunk
and pillaged Columbia, burning the en-
tire length of Main street. Sherman Or
dered the pillagers and burners to be
shot. Two or three hundred citizens left
with the Yankees Most of the people
remaining are obliged to live in huts.--
Their condition is dreadful
Sherman left 200 head of beef cattle for
the sick and wounded, and gave arms to
the citizens to protect themselves from
negroes. Every article of subsistence
was carried off, the cellars, outbuildings,
&c, being searched. The city was she'll
ed furiously before taking possession.
The same paper says there are 3.OOO To-
comotives and cars penned up at Char
lotte. 1t says Sherman will, of course,
DESTROY this stock They were heavily
laden with stores.
The Southern Express company saved
all its valuables. but the mails have been
lost everywhere.
The Charlotte correspondent OF the
Richmond Whig says Sherman's advance
on Columbia was unexpected, sudden
and surprising. 1t found all unprepared.
and he cool enough to do anything
When his guns we're heard in this city,
public officers for the first began to think
of removing the Government stores until
f1anked out of their position on the op-
posite side of the Congaree. When they
fell back again, the city then began upon
the work of getting off the stores, but
the time was too short and much was
left. The worst feature of the whole
scene was the plundering done by Wheel
er's cavalry This was done most sys-
tematically, as if they were trained to
stealing.

The Commercial says letter from an
officer on the Niagara, dated Ferrai,
Spain, Feb. 18th, states that the rebel
ram Stonewall was lying close by that
place. The spaniards allowed her to
make limited repairs, and the command
ell had asked permission to leave her IN
port, while he went to Paris to annul the
contract of sale, and throw her upon the
hands of the former, unless the Nj
agara was eager to engage her, notwlth-
standing the odds of iron against wood.

The Object of the Retieence Of Rebel
Newspapers.
Press Dispatch. /


WASHINGTON, March lO.-The Char.
lotte, n. c., Bulletin of the lst, in an ar
ticle Oh the situation, says: If the army
of Lee has defeated that of Grant at
Spottsylvania and around the Virginia
capital, where the Yankee commander
counted his 225 900 men and we had less
thon 10000. why may we not severely
punish the two combined Federal armies
whose aggregate will be less than l5O,-
0002 The resources of Virginia have
been held in reserve. Notwithstanding
more than month has elapsed since the
granaries of Georgia and a portion OF
Sonth Carolina have been cut off. Lees
men still live on full rations, and there
is no reason to apprehend shat they will
fail to enjoy plenty to the end. Under
the guidance of heaven they are more
than match for the willy Sherman, and
we have never felt more confident than
at the present hour that he is destined to
come to grief
Let our people then be patient, until
our arrangements be completed and our
plans contaminated. Day will break
at last through the darkest gloom. The
mighty reaction that must follow victory
will compensate us for all the present
reverses, and although bleeding onr
country will still be found in the arena,
with spirit unquenced, with the sword
with which she has so long defended the
principles of truth, justice and indepen-
dence
The Fayetteville Telegraph assures its
readers that it is not the wish of its pro
prietor to conceal anything from them, but
to prevent, if possible, the Yankee forces
in Wilmington and South Carolina from
learning anything of the movements OF
each other Their means of communica-
cation are very limited and uncertain.
1t Is our policy not to make improve
ment for them. We hope the condition
of affairs will be so materially changed
in few days as to enable us to dispense
with this restriction All our informa-
ton thus far is of an encouraging char
acter.

PLANS OF THE REBHu. CAMPAIGN

An intelligent staff officer, who enjoys
the best opportunities for observation
near the headquarters Of the armies ope-
rating against Richmond, gives the fol-
lowing views in a letter:
He believes Richmond will not be
evacuated until after a decisive battle
The defenSeS Of the rebels north OF the
Appomattox are being strengthened
Seventeen heavy gQns have been mount
ed there already
Petersburg doubtless he evacuated

From the Washington Star, Tuesday
There j. reason to believe that the reb-
els ar positively contemplating the
evacuation of Petersburg This move
ment has been rendered necessary by the
extent of their lines and the unparalleled
thinning OF their ranks by desertion.-
The position occupied by the euemy's ex
treme right was valuable only so long as
his supplies were forwarded by the
Southside road; and the capture of Will
mington having made that unavailable
for transportation, the sacrifice necessa-
~ to the protection of that line is no
longer an object During the last few
weeks formidable defense5 have been
