South Carolina Reaps the Fruit of her Crime.

The Richmond Examiner OF the 10th, says:
Officers from South Carolina report that the
enemy have completely devastated the country
through which they have passed. They have
not spared single house. They have wreaked
vengeance on that State, with most savage
spirit. People have NO conception of the con-
duct of Sherman army and the wide spread
destruction and Infamous excesses they have
committed"
The above IS no doubt highly overdrawn, il
not entirely devoid of truth. The same thing
was reported of Sherman when he passed thro'
Georgia, which afterwards turned out TO be
entirely false. If he has pursued different
course in South Carolina it is in retaliation for
the cold-blooded murder OF his men after being
taken prisoners, or because the Chivalry of that
State adopted the guerrilla system of warefare.
