Conasgration of Columbia.

ConAagration of Columbia.
The reader will have seen that We have
brought TO close our narrative of tn. most
conspicuous events, in the rapture, sack, and
hurn ing Of the city OF Columbia" We have
been at great pains to make the statements
ample, and to justify them by reference to the
best authorities and witnesses to be found. We
believe That the facts are substantially COM
piete. and SO, true in MI respects. There are
no DOUBT many emissions 6f interesting incl
dents, which, as they are reported to us, we
may supply hereafter in. supplement-. The
incidents given ore selected as typical of large
eroul's of iacts representative anecdotes, uni
form in their variety, and quite too numerous
Tor separate consideration. But the very uni
fotmity, amidst eucE s nunaef1ss collection, is
in confirmation of the general authenticity Of
the whole;t and We repeat the conviction that
the narrative is wholly true withal, and to be
relied on rs history
We have seen, with some surprise, some
attempts. in sundry quarters, to account for
the destruction Of Columbia, by ascribing It to
accident, to the druskenness of Struggling
parties, to our negroes and, indeed, to any but
the proper cause. 1t is evidently the design of
/ these writers, without inquirihg into the mo:
tives by which they were governed, to relieve
the Yankee General and his army from the
isnpueation. Il it could be shown that ons-
half ofshe'mane army were not actually en-.
gagged in firing the houses in twenty places at
once, while the other half were not ouist spec
ratorsindifserently looking on, there might be
some shrewdnees in this suggestion. If it could
be shown that the .whiskey found its way out
of stores and cellars, grappled with the inno-
cent Yankees and poured itself down their
tbroata. then the Yankees are relieved Of the
responsibility. If it can be proved that the
negroes were not terrified the presence of
these infuriate enemies, in such large num-
bers, and did not, (as they almost invariably
did, on the night of the fire, skulk away into
heircabins, lying quite lows and keeping as
dark as possible; we might listen to this sug
gestion, and perhaps admit its plausbY,ity
But why did the Yankees. prevent the firen,en
from extinguishing the FIRE in lis first outbreak,
