PRICES STILL COMING DowN-In the
Dispatch of Thursday we called attention
to the fact that some of our merchants were
selling goods at prices very near those pre-,
vailing before the war We are glad 20
add others to the number this morning -
Mr.. W. r. Polk, corner of Broad and Sixth
streets, advertises bleached cotton at twelve
and a half cents; unbleached cotton, made
at the Manchester Mill, at fifteen cents,
which the mill was selling few days ago
by the bale at twenty cents caicoes at
twelve and half cents, and nearly all his
new stock of dry goods, just received, at a.
bout the same falling off from the high
prices which prevailed short time ago
So, also, it will be seen that Messrs. West
& Andrews, at foot of Church Hill, on
Broad street, are selling brown sugar at ten
cents; coffee at twenty-five cents, and but.
ter at twenty cents. We chronicle these

BELLA, wife oi CALvIS WmISOsAsr. The subject OF
the above notice suffered severely for than three
weeks before her departure. Although she received the
aSsiduOus attention OF Physicians yet medical skill could
control her disease During her illness she had frequent
Interviews with her pastor. She talked with camncss aud
cOmpO5urc concerning DEATH She said she not afraid
die, and expressed desire that God would take her
away from suffering During her sickness she called her
family around hc aud gave solemn charges especially 10
the younger members, who arriving at years of dsce
tion, when they must coosc for themselves whom they will
serve. She called upon them 10 witness her present cOndi
tion reminding them that she had protcsscd the christian
religion early in life and never had regretted her course;
but on her death bed her dying advice, would rcccm
mend them follow her example and choose that good
part which can never be taken away from them.
Ii was saying with McChenc ''lve that you will be
missed when deadr We think il can be- truly said Of Mrs.
WSoSASr that she l. missed. She Is missedby her hus
band not only agreeable companion and promoter of
his temporal interest; but spiritual adviser stimulating
him in the discharge Of duty. She is mssed-greay
mssed-by Children especially by her little chdren
She is missed by the Church, by the poor by the commu

Last week we published a para
graph to the effect that all cotton and 9th
er produce which had been subscribed tc
the "Confederate Loan" had been ordered
to be seized as United States property
We observe by paragraph in the Philadel'
phia Ledger, that this is an error. Coufed
crate cotton that has been paid for by the
Confederate Government, and never re
moved from the point at which it was pur
chased, is claimed as belonging to the Uni
ted States Government, but cotton engaged
by the Confederate authorities and neveI
paid for, is still the Legitimate property o.

From the Chester Standard.
To the Public.

While | feel reluctant to thrust before
the public anything Of private nature,
justice seems to demand that l should, in
some public manner, deny the false charges
which have been industriously circulated
by upprincipled persons, in reference to my
connexion with the trial Of Mr. Biggers
Mobley.
At the solicitation of some of the friends
of Mr.. Mobley, repeatedly called on Maj.
Coates, who was in command of the Mill
tary Post at Chester, and gave positive as,
euraace thst Lotia, the woman whom Mr.
Mobley had shot, would recover, and that
without permanent injury | at that time
eudeavored to procure compromise of the
case. After failing in this, I wrote letters
to and prevailed on some of my friends to
call on Gen. Ames to intercede in Mr.
Mobley's behalf I Also, when in Colum.
bia, called upon him for the same purpose.
Notwithstanding all this, it has been clan.
destiuely circulated that have been wri-
ting letters to the authorities in Columbia,
and otherwise attempting to prejudice the
case of Mr.. Mobley As my friends at a
distance do not understand the falsity and
naotives of such reports, as we'll as the more
intelligent of this neighborhood, deem it
proper to publish the following in refuta-
ton of the SANDER:

he clear himself of the guilt of burning
private dwellings outside of the city lin.
its? Early in the afternoon of the day be
entered Columbia, my house, which was
two miles from the city, was fired; soon
after the houses of Mr.. Trenholm, General
Lowell, Mrs. Stark, DR.. Wallace, Mr. Ar
thur, Mr.. Latta and Mrs. English all in
the same vicinity shared the same fate
General Sherman cannot deny that these
houses were burned by his men, nor can
be deny that be destroyed, in part, or 10
whole, the villages of Barnwell, Blackville,
Graham, Bamberg, Buford's Bridge, Or.
aDgeburg, Lexington, Alstou, Pomaria,
Wiuusboro', Blackstocks, Society Hill,
Camden and Cheraw Does not the fate of
these unoffending towns give the lie to bis
disclaimer CT any agepcy in burning this
city?
Along the line of march followed by him
there is scarcely one house left standing,
from the Savannah River to the Pee Dee,
and yet be dared to declare solemnly that
he did not burn Columbia J.! do not Won
der that he should strive to escape the in.
fanny which, like the leprosy of Gehazi,
shall cleave unto him and unto his seed
forever, for the commission Of this dark
deed. Nor am surprised that be should
naturally seek to escape by taking refuge
behind falsehood But he shall not with
iupunity make me the scspegost for his
sius. Wherever be has taken his army in
this State, women have been insulted or
outraged, old men have been hung to ex-
tort from them hidden treasure. The fruits
of the earth have been destroyed, leaving
starvation where plenty once reigned, and
the dwellings of rich and poor alike have
been laid in ashes. For these deeds his
tory will brand him as robber and incen.
diary, and will deservedly "damu him to
everlasting fame"

to be borne out on mattress into the open
air to escape the fire. 1t was in vain that her
situation was described to the incendiares,
as they applied the torch within and with.
out the house.-Thoy bsbeld the situation
of the sufferer and laughed to scorn the
prayer for her safety. Another lady was
but recently confined. Her life hung upon
o hair. The demons were apprised of the
facts in the case. They burst into her
chamber-took rings from the lady's finger,
plucked the watch from beneath her pill
low, shrieked offensive language in her ears,
and so overwhelmed her with terror that
she sunk under the treatment, surviving
but day or two" "The churches
we're at first sought by many streams of
population. Thither the hellish persever-
auce of tho iends followed them, and the
Churches of God we're set on fame. Again
driven forth, numbers made their way into
the recesses of Sydney Park, and here
fancied to find security. But the ingenuity
of hate and malice was not to be baffied,
and frebraDds thrown from the height into
the deepest hollows of the Park taught the
wretched fugitives to despair of any escape
from enemies of such unWearied and unre-
mitting rage"
But enough of this atrocity, the bare re-
cital of which makes humanity shudder,
the heart grow sick. Surely enough has
been quoted FROM the narrative of these
horrors, to prove that General Sherman
alone is responsible for the destruction of
Columbia, and for many other atrocities
committed by his army, He declares that
the fires set by my orders consumed the
city. 1 have shown how false is that state
ment; but even if it we're true, how does
Baltimore daily commercial. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1865-1867, 1866-01-29
