SHERMAN ON THE RACK.

Gen. Sherman was put through course
Of questioning in Washington on the 18th
inst. touching the burning of Columbia,
which appears to have irritated him very
considerably and TO have elected facts which
are highly discreditable him as the com
mander Of the army which made the raid
through Georgia and South Carolina. The
Washington correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-JouldI furnishes the following
syncpis Of the facts drawn out by the ex-
animation:
"Gen. Sherman was examined before
the American and British Commission to-
day in regard To the burning of Columbia.
He denied that he had issued orders to
burn Columbia, but admitted that the
army was greatly exasperated against
South Carolina, and said this exaspera-
ton was increased by Gen. Hampton's
rear guard firing into his camp night or
two before entering Columbia, which exas-
peration he aud his officers participated in,
and this was known to the men. A cores
pondance was then shown to Gen. Sherman,
puEp0Tting TO have taken place between
him and Gen. Halleck, while on his march
70 Columbia. The communication from
Halleck desired him TO destroy Charleston
and SOW itwith salt, so that there might
no more nulliiers or secessionists grow
up there. To this Sherman in reply wrote
that Charleston and Columbia would soon
be in his hands, and Halleck would have
no cause to complain Of his treatment
Of them; that he had the Fifteenth corps
with him, and that corps did their work
well, and further that he (Sherman) would
not spare the public buildings in Columbia,
as he did at Miledgeville. Gen. Sher-
man admitted. on bis examination, that
this correspondence was authentic. Gen.
Sherman stated that be occupied Columbia
with the Fifteenth corps. Ia reply TO the
question whether he kept the men in the
works after taking possession of the city,
be said DO; he could not have done so TO
have prevented the burning of every town
in the State of South Carolina. These res
ponses were drawn out by the representa-
lions of British claimant, who allege that
their property at Columbia was destroyed
wautouly and in violation of the Usages Of
war Gen. Sherman manifested a good
deal of excitement during the investiga-
ton"
1t has heretofore been charged that Sher-
mans "march to the sea" was simply a
raid of pillage and waaton destruction, in
which an unusual license was given the SOL
diers under his command. His confessions
before the commission, as reported By the
Courier Journals correspondent, certainly
90 very far toward confirming this grave ac-
cusaaon. Whas viii history say Of the
man who, in a civilized and Christian coun-
Try, permitted bis soldiers to pillsge and de-
stroy the property Of the men he claimed
as fellOw-citizens Of the same government,
in p manner that would have been dis
graceful TO an army of semi-barbarians?

The Chattanooga Times of Dec. 18th
says: 1--WE receive daily reports from pas
sengers on connecting roads of accidents on
the South and North Alabama Railroad i.
One occurred last week in which five per
sons are said to have been killed, and
twenty wounded. Another occurred night
before last in which the sleeping car and two
coaches were ditched. No person was
killed, but several were wounded. Weun-
derstand the reason of these accidents to
be the effort to make As miles an hour over
new track. If these statements are true,
and we have them on reliable authority, it
seems to us the management are very dere-
Ict In not checking their speed, instead of
hushing up reports Of accidents"

WHAT ACHANCERY SALE
40.
opinion Of ChaneeIIOr Cooper.


Ia this community, and doubtless
throughout the State, there has always ex-
is.od much uuceTt ainty as to the rights Of
. purchaser at CbanceTy sale. Some think
be can claim his purchase if the sale has
been fairly conducted, whilst others are of
the opinion that he has to give way TO any
one who ofIoIs higher bid. We under
stand that no uniform practice has been
confirmed to in cases arising at this place,
and that our Supreme Court has never
given any clear opinion upon the question.
The first case of the kind during our new
CbSncelior'5 administration came up few
days ago in tie cause Of Atkinson
VS.. Murfree, trustee, wherein at q sale
by the clerk and master at Nashville of the
estate of the late Judge Nancy the lot on
the corner Of Broad aud McLemOre streets
was sold to MIR. Thos. Caldwell for S.,
200 90; Il appearing from the report Of the
CLERK and master that he was the last,
highest and best bidder. Before confr-
ma,ion some Of the parties interested in the
cause petitioned the chancellor TO be allow
ed 20 advance the bid TO Sl0,500O0, and
that the biddings be opened for that pur-
pose. This proposition was resisted by
the purchaser, who insisted upon a c0nfr-
NATION of the sale TO ham as the highest
bidder, Ul,sss the petitioner could
show some unfaisness in the sale.
+. f. Muloy, Esq, appeared for tbs pc
titi0uers, and AUdrew Allison, Esq, for the
purchaser. After full argument, Judge
Cooper having considered the matter for
several days, delivered very able written
opinion, reviewing all the authorities upon
the subject, he concludes that there is DO
sale until The report Of the Clerk an. Mas
ter has been confirmed, and that before con
iirmaliOn, no iueqpilGble circumstance need
concur with the offer Of an adyance-bid to
authorize the Chancellor 10 sst aside the
sale aud open the bidding; but that the
c7Urt could open the bidding upon the Of
Ter Of larger price alone, if it be so con-
siderable as to furnish sufficient induce
IaoHt. He was OF opinion that the bid
ding. should be opened at the advance Of
( ret, aud otdeged The Clerk and master
&c receive biddings S. his office for the space
Of lhTty days, commencing 81 $4,000.
