General slocum double-quicked the sd-
vance Of his column into the village of
Winnsboro to save the town from the torch
Of his foragers. Gen. Pardee's brigade. Of
Geary's division, was in the advance, and
every effort was made to beat the strau.
glers from the grand army into town..
They were not successful. The town was
pt,laged and set on fire before any ORGANIC
ed body Of troops got in. All the officers
turned their attention to the dire, and ar
rested the progress Of the flames. Generals
Slocum, Williams, Geary, Pardee, Barnum
and all worked with their hands, burned
their whiskers and scorched their clothes,
to prevent tho repetition Of Columbia
scenes. Nine or ten buildings were burn
Cd on the main street before the fire was
stopped-at the house of Mrs. Prope, said
to be the property Of q man Ia New York
city. Guards were posted ct every house
Ia town, and other fires were quenched -
they burst out. Unfortunately, the church
