THE SOUTH CAROLINA TRRAsURR-It ap-
pears from the statement of an ex officer of the
2uth corps, published in a Western paper that
the collected treasure, jewelry, etc recently
examined and invoiced at the Treasur, De-
partment. and which attracted q good deal Of
notice at the time, was formerly the property
of citizens Of Camden, South Carolina, and
that the gold and silver, as well as the erinci-
pal portion Of the Confederate notes and bonds,
belonged to the old Camden Bank.
When Sherman's army approac he'd Camden,
the citizens OF the village collected their Jew
elry, silver and plated ware and deposited the
same in the safes OF the Bank OF Camden. The
safes were loaded in wagons, and the owners
tnereof sought safety for their treasure in fight
but the foragers-enterprising fellows, who
were always about days march in adj vance
OF the army-came upon them not far from
the Catawba river and compelled a surrender
The captoIs were composed Of two detach.
ments, one from the Third Brigade, First
Division, Twentieth Army Corps. and the
other from the Fourteenth Army Corps
1t was the usual custom Of the foragers TO cor. &.
hscate and divide captured property, but as
some disagreement sprung up as to the proper
division, neither party feeling disposed to sur
rerder their acquired banking privileges, it
was decided to deliver the safe unopened to
the Provost Marshal Of the army of Georgia
The safes were opened by that officer, and
found to contain gold, silver, Confederate
bonds and notes. and the diamonds, silverware,
and Jewelry Of the citizens. BY order OF Gen.
eral Sherman the mules and wagons were ap.
propriated tor the use Of the army, and the
other property was boxed up and forwarded
to the War Depart ment at Washington, upon
the arrival OF the army at Goldsborough, North
Carolina.
1t is proper to add, in this connection, that
the value CT the jewelry and silver ware has
been largely over.estimated by correspondents
writing on the subject 1t is doubtful whether
the whele lot would bring more than five thou
sand dollars under the hammer
