The guage changes there preventing them
from going further. Shcrman's move will

were heavily loaded with stores. For the

/. Authentic from Charleston.

The eyacuatio was successfully completed
on Thursdal. the 10th of February, between
the hours Of twelve and one o'clock. Our
troops left on tho cars of the'North Eastern
railway going in the direction Of Kingstree.
In addition to the fall of the city, ofitself
sorrowful in the extreme, we have torccord
one of the most horrible cslamites that ever
bafell any population. The Depot of the
South Carolina Railroad company between
Mary and Ann streets, was filled with. stores
of the Commissary, ouartcrmaster aud Ord,
nance Departments. Upon the departure OF
our forces, such supplies as could not be re-
moved were allowed to the INDECENT. citizens,
and the building was thrown open tor them
While crowded with women and Children
some fixed ammunition was exploded; de-
stroying the house and causing the death OF
three hundred persons. The sight was most
pitiable o1e, and beggars description. ;,
The flames Immediately spread With Tie
greatest rapidity, and it is feared that a large
portion ofotho city must have been destroyed
The fire was in progress when the federal
troops landed, and they Immediately rendered
assistance and protection to the tiremen en-
gagged in staying the confagration.
The explosion is supposed to have been
purely accidental, some b.ys having been seen
engaged in amusing themselves with shells
II was certainly not caused BY any military
order.
There is now no enemy between August
and Charleston, the line of the South Caroii
ma Railroad being occupied at no point.
We are indebted to Captain Disher of th'
+. South Carolina Railroad for the above inter
estiug items. He left Johnson's Tarn Ou
yesterday, where he converscd with one
General Youugs scouts who had just arrived
