justice OF tile quota assigned thatState. The
report that they bad am Interview with the
President who told them, after stating their
case, that so many complaints had reached
him from various quarters Of the assignment
of quotas, that he had personally taken the
pains to examine the formula adopted by the
Provost Marshall &c neral for the calculation
and dstribution Of the quotas fol. the several
States, had arrived at the conclusion that no
candid mind could doubt its fairness and
equity. The President also gave them copy
of the following letter on the same subject,
which he had written to Gov. SMITH of Yer
mont. H. - ~. ie -
EXECUTIVE MANsroNl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 1865
,Ha .Ereelleacy, Cor. Smith, Vermont /.
Complaint is made to me by Vermont that
the assignment of her quota for the draft on
the pending call is intrinsically unjust, and
also in bad faith of the Governments prom.
Use to fairly allow credits for men previously
furnished. To illustrate, a supposed case is
stated as follows: .rf,...rq,
Vermont and New Hampshire must between
them furnish 5000 men on the pending call,
and being equals each must furnish as many
as the other in the long run. But the Gov.
6sads +h~s 70. mel calls vermont
furnished a surplus of 500, and New Hamp-
shire surplus of 1900, these two SURPRISES
making 1000; and, added to the 6, 1000, max
ing 5000 to be furnished by the two States,
or 4 900 each, less by fair credits. Then sub
tract VermUnt's surplus of. 500 from her a0D0
leaves $500 as her quota on the pending call !;
and likewise subtract New Hampshire's sur
Plus of of / 500 from her 1000, leaves $500
"a her quOra on the pending call The sc
$500 and, $500 make precisely the 5000
which the supposed case requires from the
two sates and IL is just equal for Vermont
to furnish 900 more nom than New Hamp
shire, because New Hampshire has heret1tDre
furnished 900 more than Vermont, which
eqaalizes the burdens of the two in the long
run.
: Aud this result, so far from being bad faith
to Vermont, is Indispensable to keeping good
faith with New Hampshire. By no other re-
suit en- the 6 QUO men be obtained from the
two States, aud at the same time deal justly
and keep faith with both; and we do but con-
fuSe ourselves IN questioning the process Dy
which the right result is reached. The sup
posed case is perfect as an Illustration.
This pending call is not for 800 900 men
subject to iair credits, but is for 800 600 re-
naming after all fair credits have been de-
Quoted; and il is impossible to concede what
Vermont asks, without coming out short OF
S0O,O 900 men, or making other localities pay
for the Partially shown her.
This uDOn the case stated. If there be
different reasons for making an allowance 20
Vermont. let them be presented and consid-
cred. Yours truly, a. LINCOLN.

HThe Fall of Columbian

Gen GRANT transmits to Secretary STAN
TON the following account of the flllof the
Capital Of South Carolina, and Of the situation
in that State, from the Richmond Dispatch
of the 18th: sttt't
Columbia has fallen. Sherman marched
in and took possession of the city yesterday
morning. The Intelligence was communica-
ted yesterday by Gen. Beauregard, in an Off
cial dispatch. or
Columbia is situated on the north bank of
the COngaree river, just below the contlu-
ence of the Saluda and Broad rivers. From
Gen. Beauregard's dispatch, it appears that
on Thursday evening the enemy approached
the south bank of the Congaree, and threw
mum Der of shells into the city during the
night. They moved up the river, aud yester,
day morning forded- the Saluda and Broad
Rivers. Whilst they were crossing these
rivers, our troops, under GeC. Beauregard,
evacuated Columbia. The, enemy soon after
took Possession. .i|JtltB1 '5sf ts
Through private sources we learn that two
days ago, when il was decided not to attempt
the defense of Columbia, large quantity of
medical stores, which it was ghtimpos-
sible To remove, were destroyed. The female
employees of the Treasury Department had
been previously sent eff 60 aCharlottevilIe,
one HUNDRED miles north of Columbia. We
presume the treasury lithograPhic establish
ment was also removed, although as to this
We have no positive iniormationy orr,
The fall of Columbia neeessitates, We pre-
sumo, the evacuation of Charleston, which,
We think likely, is already IN process of evac
uation. ~ e t4t ~ q - "a
1t is impossible to say where Sherman will
next direct his steps Tie general.opini is
that he will 90 to Charleston and establisha
base there; but We confess we don'tsee what
need he has of base. 1t is to be presumed
he is subsisting ON the country, and he has
had no battle to exhaust his ammunition.
Before leaving Savannah he declared his in
tentiOn to march to Columbia, thence to Au
gusta, and thence to Charleston. This was
uttered as BOAST to hide his designs We
are disposed to bslieve that he will next
strike at Charlotte, which is 100 miles north
of Columbia, on the Charlotte and Columbia
Railroad, or at Florence, S. O., the Junction
Of the Columbia and Wilmington and the
Charleston and Wilmington Railroads. alo
There was a report yeste day that Augusta
had also been taken by the enemy. THIS we
do not believe.-We have reason to feel as
sured that nearly the whole of Sherman's
army is at Columbia, and that the report that
Schofeld was advancing on Augusta was un
true. at .tas4.s f.s.s i.,,...i .,r

Amusements.

3 NEW METRoPoLIrAN.-fhs was a
large and highly intelligent audience at
the Theatre last night to witness Mr..
Couldock's impersonatiougof Richelieu,
and no audience in Evansville was ever
better entertained. The entire charac-
ter was magnifcently performed; but in
the first act, in the language of one of
the finest critics in the city, he rose to
the very acme of sublime impersonatioD.
In the characters he plays, Mr.. Coul-
dock has, perhaps, no equal, and the cit-
Eens of Evansville who neglect this OPP
portunity of witnessing "perfeet mimic
ry" of the highest intellectual character,
may never have another. For the credit
of our city, he should have a crowded
house each uight during his stay. isa5
The play last night was vastly marred
by stupid supernnmery, who rushed
on the stage with dozen important
words to repeat, and was unable to
utter one Of them.
y Tonight Mr.. Couldock takes a bene-
fit, when he will appear in his great
character Of Peter Probity, in the play
of the " Chimney Corner "a character
in which he has no rival He will also
appear in the afterpiece, entitled "Dne
Touch of Nature" Miss Couldeck will
also appear in both pieces. Those who
desire choice seats should secure them
early, as every seat should be taken.

L,ooK orr FOR THRMl-It is strar

LOOK Our FOR THRMl-It is strange
but nevertheless true that whenever
needle peddlers and organ-grinders, and
such like predatory vermin, are in the
city, burglaries and robberies occur,
We have frequently warned our citizens
against the jackalls (for they are moth
ing else), and we now again advise them
not to permit them to enter or prowl
around their houses, but, if possible,
turn them over to the police. Their
plan is to stop and leave paper of
needles with the lady of the house to
examine, promising TO call the next
day, hoping thus to be aole to take q
survey of the premises, and see what
probability there is Of finding booty By a
burglary. They are never known to
call when there is q probability of find
ing the man Of the house at home;
they know it would not be healthy.
They are in the city now, and we adj
wise our citizens, as well as the police
and city authorities. to look ont for
them. ss.s y -.s- ~ s. AZ nseFl

FIRE.-An old dilapidated binding

caught fire yesterday afternoon from
stove pipe run through the wall. The
alarm was sounded and the steam FIRE
engine was quickly on the ground and
arrested the flames before any material
damage was done. There was rumor
that negro child was burned up, but
we could trace it to no reliable source !.
There should be Fire Inspectors ap-
pointed in each ward of the city, to in-
spect chimneys and fues, and regulate
such matters. Such an arrangement
would prevent many fres. Moreover,
families should be careful in the man
ner in which they deposit ashes. Many
fires occur from negligence in this re-
spect. 9EgAu (
