SHERMAN IN SOUTH CAROLINA. =

War Department, Washington, Feb. l6.-T0
Mdjor- General Die: The announcement of the
occupation of Columbia, S. c., by General Sher-
man, and probable evacuation of Charleston, has
been communicated to this Department in the
following kilograms ust received from Lieuten-
ant-General Grant. E. M. SANTON,
Secretary of War.
City Point, Va, Feb. lS.-HG1a. Z. NJ StGn-
tOIb War Department: The following is taken
from to- days Richmond Dispatch:
FALL OF CoLUMBIA.-Columbia has fallen.-
Sherman marched into and took possession of
the city yesterday morning The intelligence
was communicated yesterday by General Beau
regard in an official dispatch. Columbia is sit
uated on the north bank of the Congaree river,
Just below the confluence of the Saluda and
Broad rivers. From General Beauregards dis
patch ii appears that on Thursday evening the
enemy approached the South bank of the Con-
garee and threw number of shells into the city
During the night they moved up the river, and
yesterday morning forded Saluda and Broad
rivers Whilst they were crossing these rivers,
our troops, under Gen. Beauregard, evacuated
Columbia. The enemy soon after took pos
session.
Through private sources we learn that two
days ago, when it was decided not to attempt
the defense of Columbia, large quantity of
medical stores, which it was thought impossible
TO remove were destroyed
The female employees of the Treasury De-
partment had been previously sent off to Char
loueville, ten miles south of Columbia. We
presume the Treasury photographic establish
ment was also removed, although as to this we
have no information.
The fall of Columbia, we presume, necessitates
the evacuation of Charleston, which we think
likely is already in process of evacuation.
There was report yesterday that Augusta
had also been taken by the enemy This we
do not believe. We have reason to feel assured
that nearly the whole of Shermau's army is at
Columbia, and that the report that Schotield
was advancing on Augusta was untrue.
The Charleston Mercury of Saturday an
nouncesa brief suspension of that paper with
view to its temorary removal to another point
This rendered necessary by the progress of mil
itary events cutting it off from the mail facilities
for distributing papers to large portion of its
subscribers, while the lackof transportation
renders its supply of paper precarious.
Semmes has been made Rear Admiral, and
will take command of the James river squad

REREL nESERTERs.

The War Department has advices showing
that the desertions from the rebel army have
greatly increased within the last six weeks
From Hoods army there has been a regular
stampede TO our lines Gen. Lee has, on GER
tain portions of his lines around Petersburg,
doubled his picket force, with the view to pre-
vent desertions, yet the arrivals within General
Grants lines during the fortnight ending with
last Saturday were nearly double those of the
last two weeks of December. Considerable num-
bers of deserters are also arriving within our
lines in the Shenandoah Valley and they report
that several hundred men are in the mountains,
endeavoriDg TO get beyond rebel control.
One can hardly imagine the satisfaction Mr.
Lincoln must feel that Sumter, which first fell
into rebel hands, is, before the termination Of
his first Presidential term, again in Federal
hands.
Sumter surrendered to the rebels April 18th,
1861; Charleston was evacuated by the rebels
February 18th, 1865; lost and won during Blr.
Lincolns first -four years. though 1t would be
Just to set the loss OF Sumter down against the
preceding Administration.
We cannot bear TO think what would have
been the condition of things to-day, had Mr..
Lincoln been defeated. Since his last election
Ine uoSt teliuS VI diApui hAoNS nave been Sti uCk
More in the field has been done since N0vem-
Der election day, TO break the back bone of this
rebellion, than in double the same period of
time since the war burst out Had Mr.. Lincoln
failed at the election, the arm raised to strike
these blows would have been paralyzed. His
defeat would have been the condemnation OF
his administration, and now, instead of chroni-
cling the fall of Savannah, Fort Fisher, Column
bia and Charleston, we, at best, would have not
advanced one step from our position last fall;
more than probable we would have actually
retrograded.
Thank God, Lincoln was reelected, his meas
ures endorsed, and so vigorously the war pros
ecuted as to drive rebellion inupOn its own trait
orous heart, which now thrObs even to bursting.

For the Spectator.


Mr.. EDITOR 1t is be regretted that so much
the Merchants of this town, while it is in the
power of persons doing such business to do SO
much towards correcting the same.
Staunton is not, and should not .be a country
village, where one or two stores only can be sup
ported, and must therefore, keep on hand goods
of all classes but should be the Depot of sup
plies for the Western country. Let every one de-
signing to enter Mercantile life, first determine
what business he will adopt, and having so cho-
sen let him adhere to it. Not for the Dry Goods
man to da6ble in Groceries, the Grocer in Dry
Goods the Shoe man in Country Produce, and the
Hardware man in Shoes and Shoefndings; but the
Grocer to Groceries, the Dry Goods man to Dry
Goods &c. Each one giving his entire attention
to certain class of business will be better able
to keep himself correctly and constantly posted in
his particular line, and be enabled to supply his
customers upon most reasonable terms.
There should be in town like this q Board of
Trade, to regulate matters of business, which now
go on in q sort Of haphazard way. Trade would
in this manner, become more regular. Citizens
from the country, when in town, would know
where to go to dispose of their produce, and where
to make purchases of whatever they might need.
This would, in measure, stop the auction trade,
so detrimental to Mercantile interests, and give
stability to business. In conclusion, would sug-
gest that some Of the oldest and most influential
should, at early day, take steps to organize a
Board of Trade, and carry out the above ideas.
which have here been only hastily thrown out.
know, Mr.. Editor, you will lend the influence OF
your valuable paper to advance such an object.
Truly Yours,
MERCHANT.

Tournament.

On Friday, the 9th of October, at Bachelor
Hail. the residence of VIM. Armstrong, ESQ.,, neal
Craigsville was the scene of an animated and
brilliant Tournament. "A large number of spec
tators of all ages sexes and conditions, assembl ed
together from this and other counties and mani
tested during the day lively interest in the per-
formance. At r. O'Clock NJ, twenty Knights,
elegantly mounted were assembled by the mar
shal, Mr.. VIM. A. Burke, and after eecting Judges,
Herald, &C., commenced the contest for the va
rious honors. The riding was spirited and the
contest close. All the knights seemed to be per-
fectly at home in the saddle, land most of them
partially successful, but Mr. G.. D. Kinble, Knight
of the Golden Circle was adjudged worthy of
the highest honor and entitled to crown the Queen
of Love and Beauty This he did in a modest and
becoming manner selecting the beautiful and -sc-
complished Miss Hattie Be1l, of Gosnen,s as the
recipient of his justly earned trophy. The End
honor was awarded to Mr.. Armstrong, Knight Of
Bachelors Hail. who selected and crowned Miss
Maggie S. Bell, of Rockbridge, as 1st Maid of
Honor. The 3rd honor awarded to Mr.. r.
Y. Ramsey Knight of the Hills, who crowned
Miss Mollie HI. Thomas, Of Richmond End Maid
of honor. The next in order was Mr.. Garrett
Gooch Knight of fIngl leside,' who crowned Miss
Emma Hodge, of Augusta CO., as 3rd Maid of
Honor. The 5th honor was awarded to Mr. o. c.
Lipscomb Knight of Mountain Top who crowned
Miss Fannie Mitchell, of Clarke CO., 4th Maid Of
honor. After the ceremonies Of the coronation
were over, the Queen, Knights, Ladies, Atten
dants, &C., were invited by the Knight of Bach E.
lors Hall, to partake of sumptuous repast which
he had prepared for the occasion. May there be
many returns of such glorious holidays in our
midst, and may the gallant Knight of Bachelors
Hall, be rewarded for his gallantry by some fair
lady, making his, her home and thereby prevent
ing it from being any longer a Bachelors Hail.

Proclamation Of Gen. sharkey.

On the 29th ult, Gov. Sharkey issued

the Freedmon's Bureau Of Mississippi, trans
ferring the right of trying all cases in which
the rights of freedmen are involved, from the

coalition that the Provisional Government
of that State will take for their mode of pro-
cedure the law now in force, except so far as
these laws makesa distinction on account of
color.
The proclamation further declares that ne
groes shall be protected in their persons and
property, thereby establis hing the principle
emitting negroes to sue and be sued, and ma
