Rebel Account of the Capture of COlussbta.
New YORK, March 10.
The Augusta, Ga. Constitutionalst of the
9th ult., says the 18th and 18th corps, with
Shermans command, has baggage train three
miles long. The 18th corps became drunk and
plllaged Columbia, burning the entire length
oil Main street. Sherman ordered the pillagers
and burners to be shot. Two or three hun
bred citizens left with the Yankees. Most of
the people remaining are obliged to live in
huis. Their condition is dreadful. Sherman
left 200 head of beef cattle for their sick and
wounded, and arms to the citizens to protect
themselves from the negroes. Every article
of subsistence was carried of, cellars, out
buildings, &C., being searched The city was
shelied furionsly before taking possession
The same paper says there are 3000(?) loco
motives and cars penned up at Charlotte, n.
@. IL says Sherman will OF course destroy
this stock. They were heavily laden with
stores. The Southern Express Co. saved all
its valuables, but the mails have been lost
everywhere. .rsssals.s .sssa
A Charlotte correspondent of the Richmond
Wing says Sherman's advance on Columbia
was unexpected, sudden and surprising. II
found all unprepared and not cool enough to do
anything. When his guns were heard in the
city the public officers, for the first time,
began to think OF removing government
stores.
The little army gave way step by step until
Aanked out of their positions on the opposite
side of the Congaree River, when they fell back
again. The city was then opened upon; the
work of getting off stores being pushed forward
with energy. Butlhe task was too great and
much was lest. The worst feature of the scene
was the plunderiug done by Wheeer's cavalry.
This was done most systematically as If they
were trained to stealing.
