SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

Many petitions have been presented in
Congress during this session for REIN
bursement of damages done by the
Union army in marching through South
Carolina. Most of them were from
Columbia, and the parties claim to have
always been Union men, and generally
assume that the city was burned by
General Sherman's order. One of these
was presented in the Senate oh Monday.
The petitioner says he is ninety-threc
years old; that his home and all its con-
tents were burned on the night after the
federal occupation of Columbia; that
the loss was at least ten thousad dollars /;
that he is reduced to beggary, and that
he siiving on the charity of the Ma
sonic order. He further says that he
was five years postmaster and twenty
eight years magistrate of Columbia !;
has been under oath since 1923 to pre-
serve, protect and defend the Constitu-
ton, and has never broken that oath !:
that he suffered pecuniary loss in nulli-
tication times, because he was a Union
man, and was removed from the post
office for the same cause. This person
has laid his case before General Sher-
man, and the following letter i'm reply
passed through here to-day, on its way
to him:

money, To conduct thither a vast army.

force the State could obtain. Your own
citizens resisted our approach, not ONLY
with arms, but by burning the BRIDGES

IT seems to me to be apparent that TINS
amount. whichI supposed to be availa-
bje in the Treasury on the oath of Feb
ruary. is far short of the reality, and ex-
ceeds what you declared 1t to be in your
last monthly statement by more than
S54 900, 600. .,... as
will add that can show to the salts
faction of any one that neither of your
monthly reports for the last few months
has shown within $50, DOC, 900 the amount
of m oney in the Treasury or ON deposit
in national repositories.
An accurate statement of the condi-
ton of the Treasury is not merely amat-
ter of interest to the public. 1t is ofgrave
consequence that Congress should he
correctly informed as TO the actual re-
SOURCES of the Government, that II may
legislate intelligently and appropriate
wisely.
Twill call your attention To another
matter. In your annual report you state
that you will probably require Sll ,OOO,-
600 more than yOpr current receipts to
carry You through the remainder of the
present fiscal year. / regret to ditiei
with you so widely as do in regard tC
this estimate. am of the opinion that
with an economical administration OF
your resources, you will have a surplus
on hand at the close of the fiscal year
ending June 90, 1866, of nearly or fully
! S2OO, 600 900, instead of being short Sll2,
OO0. 900. The difference between my es-
innate and yours is more than enough
for the legitimate requirements OF the
Government for the entire next fisca
year, commencing the first day of July
next.
1t is only from sense Of duty that
have gone into this discussion to which
you have invited me; and as there are
various and contradictory statements IL
regard to the differences between us
views and estimates, feel that no harm
will be done, and, indeed, that it is pro
per to make public this letter. If l have
erred in any of my statements or esti
mates, L shall be glad to be corrected
and to have the public advised of thu
correction.
Very respectfully, yours,
