over them, during which process she

over by woman. The box offices of
the theatres are tended by women-not
only those of the evening, but those
open during the day for the sale of re-
served places. The box-opercrs and
auaience.seekers are women. And not
only do women act as sellers in such
establishments as are naturally fitted for
them, but even in groceries, hardware
shops, wood.yards; fruit shops, butche-
ries, etc. In these places the book keeper
is woman, fenced in and separated from
the rest by a framework Of glass. The
ticket>seIcrs at the railway stations are
principally women.
Women even guard the stations and
some of the less unfrcquented crossings.
Women cry the rate Of exchange every

more numbers of the newspapers are

the porters' lodges in the city, there are
as many porteresscs as porters, and a
landlord would prefer to take for this
service woman without husband than
a man without wife. In small houses,
where only one person is required, that
person is a woman. Omnibus conduc~
tors submit their waybills at the trans
fer offices to women for inspection and
ratification. Women let donkeys for
rides at Montmorency, and saddle them

Wa have received New York dates
Of the 18th instant.
LATEST YANKEE ACCOUNTS FROM SHEER
MAN-llIs DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
IN THE SOUTH.
The New York Herald has two pages
filled with its army correspondence
from Sherman, dated at Fayetteville on
the 18th instant. The letters represent
that Sherman has found plenty OF pro
visions in the country along The route,
and had left thousands Of bushels Of
corn on the road for want Of transporter
tom All the farm-houses from Savan
nah to Columbia from which the in
habitants had fled were burned. This
seems to have been peculiarly joyous to
the correspondent, who, in gush Of de-
light, says:
Think of this black swath extending
from Barnwcll to the coast, and figure
,pon the value of Southeastern South
Carolina at the present day. Even the nc
groes were wcary-afraid, in some in
stances, to trust themselves among the
men who made this fearful work on the
country. White tablc-cioths were sus-
pended from windows, with Have
mercy on me-" for legend; and the
fiery spirit Of South Carolina was tanned
efectuahy.
The entrance to Columbia is described
as grand ovation to the sold flag"
which was handsomely repaid by the
burning ofthe town. The fate of Winns-
boro', South Carolina, the next town en-
tered, is thus described:
General Slocum double-quicked the
advance of his column into the village
of Winnsboro' to save the town from the
torch of bis foragers. General Pardee's
brigade, of Geary's division, was in ad-
vance, and every effort was made to beat
the strsgglers from the grand army into
town. They were not successful The
topn soas pillageA md set or fire before
any organized body Of troops got in
All officers turned their attention to the
fire, and arrested the progress Of the
flames. Generals Slocum, Williams,
Geary, Pardee, Barnum, and all, worked
with their hands, burned their whiskers
and scorched their clothes, to prevent
the repetition Of Columbia scenes.

An Acf o.: vAxDxrnx. we doubt
whether any. other. nation than the
United States has, or would hsvc, per-
petrated such vandalism Is the rob-
berry OF lunatic asylum Of the provi-
sions stored there for its helpless in
mates. Some of the Directors Of the
Central Lunatic Asylum, at Staunton,
have communicated to the Governor an
official report of the outrage perpetrated
at that institution. They state. that
"On Saturday morning, the 4th in
slant, a detachment from General Sheri-
dams army arrived at Staunton, having
under guard Confederate soldiers, said
to have been captured near Waynes-
boro'. That, unable to learn who was
in command, he addressed note as soon
as they arrived to the provost~marshal,
or other officer in command, informing
him that the institution was State
charity, appropriated exclusively to the
care Of the insane, containing over three
hundred of that class of patients, and
respectfully asking that it might be pro-
tected from unnecessary intrusion; but
before he could ascertain where head
quarters were located, a party of cavalry,
numbering about three hundred, rode
into the back yard of the asylum, COM
manded by one who was introduced as
Colonel Seely. That he availed himself
of the brief time allowed to announce 10
the Colonel the character Of the institu-
ton, and the number of the insane un-
der our care, and his response was, l
will do nothing except upon orders which
have come regularly through That,
thereupon, a large quantity Of the sup
plies of the asylum was taken or
wantonly destroyed, to wit: about enc
hundred and eighty barrels of flour, ten
thousand, six hundred pounds Of bacon,
- pounds of beef, large quantity of
corn, oats and rye, three mules, set OF
carriage harness, three sets of wagon
harness, fifty pairs of shoes, quantity
of hay, and some wearing apparel, be-
longing to the patients. Comment upon
tkis act Of vandalism, unprecedented in
the history of civilized warfare, is unne-

Fayetteville is a town of some four
