OF ruin in its track Desolaon as complete as ever
clad the sombre ruins of Ninevah or Babylon,
marks the pathway of the destroyer through many
portions OF this District In many places, the
houses are all burnt for several miles along the
highways, and not vestge OF fence nor the SEM
blance of living being is left 1t is as desolate
as If some poisonous blast had spent its furious
contents, blackening and charring everything IN
its fight. The heaviest sufferers by the enemy
were In the Southeastern portion of the District,
through which portion of the enemy's infantry
passed
Kilpatricks cavalry entered this village on the
morning OF the 2Sth February, and left onthe 4th
inst, and venture to say, that better organized
gang of thieves never existed Every house was
searched from cellar to garret, and all portable
valuables stolen What could not be carried away,
was in many instances taken to their camps and
destroyed. Nota horse, mule or colt was left on
their line of march. Those not fit for cavalry or
artillery, were shot. About $50 of the oarcasscs
OF such animals were left in the streets and about
the suburbs of this village Kipatricks head
quarters were here, which fact probably spared us
from the torch, that would have interfered with
his comfort. 1t afforded but little protection in
other respects for officers and men seem to regard

After the main column had left, party of about
one hundred returned on Sunday with the ayowed
object of burning the village, but the timely ar
rival of part of Wheeiers cavalry put the Williams
to their heels.
Many citizens in the country were abused in
their persons Whipping and hanging by the
neck to extort confessions OF hidden valuables was
the common practice. All who were suspected Of
having coin concealed were made to suffer One
gentleman, MIR = Adams was shot on his own
premises, and while struggling in the agoncs of
death, the demons stood over him, and violently
prevented his agorized family from administering
to his last wants. A Mr. Belk was also murdered.
The lifeless body of c. B. Northrop, Esq, well
known member of the Charleston bar, who had
taken refuge here, was found after the enemy left,
concealed in a ravine, some distance from this
place Singular to say his wife and family are
reported to have gone off with his murderers,-
Mrs. Mary Barnes when asked to receive and en-
tertain party of the Williams, nobly replied .You
may burn aad destroy what you find here, but
will not permit you to enter my house" The
torch did its work to completion, and the defence

that the vilest ingenuity could suggest.

How SHERMAN TREATS UNION MEN.-We
have the authority of ono of the most respectable
gentlemen in the State, who captured in Rich
moEd county, for the assertion. that Sherman and
his bandits make no distinction between loyal
Coufederates, aud those who are deserving their
country, and endeavoring to csjole the enemy, by
assurances that dicy have never done anything for
secession This gentleman says that wheDerer
one Of these uaioasts found him or herself in the
presence Of the Yankees, they asserted that thoy
had never been for the war-had never counselled
secession-had "Dever said or done anything ~
encourage the war" And the Yankees answered
by telling them, "this is all stuff; il you have not
stood by your country here, il is time you should
stand by the country you now profess: fork over
yocr pocket-book;" and these poor cringing span
iels had to yield up what they had 50 basely and
cowardy tried 20 preserve. The best mode for
trun patriots is, to defy the bandits If we fall
before them at last, lot US fall like men who favc
been blessed by Providence with something of
patriotic pride and courage. Together, uuani-
mousy, we went out Of the Union-together
unanimously we made our lot with the Confedera-
cy; let stand or fall together, and show tho
world the picture of an indoniitablc people, unaW,

The following is q IS ketch of the two last days pro
March 17-In the Senate report was present
ed from the Committee to whom the President's
message was referred. The report was adopted
without call for the yeas and nays.
The report says all the measures recommended
by the President to promote the efficiency of the
army have been adopted except the entire repeal
Of class exemptions. Some measures recommend
ed by bim, such as the creation of the office Of
GeReral-in-Chief, were originally passed by Con-
gress with view to the restoration Of public con-
fdence and the energetic administration of militia
ry affairs. The classes now exempted, east of the
Mississippi river, embrace about 5000 men,
while $4,000 men have been detailed by executive
authority. 1n consequence of this abuse of the
power OF detail, Congress at the present session
passed act revoking all details and limiting the
power.

them to obtain details to preach the GOSPEL Would
shock the reig glous sentiments of the people, and

scrptiop Of editors and the printers necessary to
publish newspapers would destroy the indepen-
dence Of the PRESS and subject it to the control of
the Executive department Physicians and apoth
ecaries essential to the health Of the people.
No complaint has reached Congress of abuse in
this class exemption.
Congress does not concur in the opinion Of the
President that the suspension of the privilege of
the writ Of habeas corpus is indispensable to the
successful conduct Of the war. The writ has not
been suspended since August last and it is not
perceived that the military reverses to the country
since that period caused by the absence Of
the Legislation asked for
The report in the closing paragraph, says if loss

March l9.-The House met to day at o'clock.
Mr. Watson, from the joint committee appointed
to wait on the President and inform him of the
readiness Of Congress to adjourn, reported that
the committee bad discharged the DUTY assigned
to it. The President stated that be had no fur

message he had fully explained his views as to the
legislation needed by the country, and SO far
Congress had not eoncurred in his opinion he hop

to the full extent of his power, and the
placed at his disposal all might feel assured of his
purpose faithfully to protect and defend the coun
