The most interesting incident in the proceed
ings of the Senate, on Tuesday last, was the
reading, by MIR. Reverdy johnson, of a letter
from General Wade Hampton, in regard to the
burning of Columbia, South Carolina, on the
18th OF February, 1865. In this letter. which

statement, made by General Sherman, that the
destruction of the beautiful capital of South
Carolina resulted from the burning of large
quantities of cotton il the streets, by General
Hampton's order, and invites an investigation of
the matter. The letter having provoked some
bitter expressions from Messrs. Conness, Sher-

written has been accomplished. The solemn de-

himself, are now first published in a form that
