ALErrER from Columbia, South Carolina
says: SIN Edgefeld and the adjacent dis
triets, two United States soldiers have been
killed and several have been wounded lately,
by persons who rule these districts by force Of
their ruffianism. The rebel Gen. Geary, who
left Lees army with q few followers before
the surrender, and who says he has never
surrendered was arrested last week for
completely in the atrocities against our
troops. He demanded to be treated as
risoner Of war. His friends arrived in
this city soon after he did, and soldiers In dis
ruise ascertained that these friends not only
intended to Hberate their General, but that
they were to assassinate Gen. Ames. The
latter, however, had his house guarded, and
took proper precautions, 80 that no violence
has occurred in this connection, although fir
ing on blue uniforms is almost q nightly oc-
currence."
