"Driyen OF by Ellinor,". Belle said.

her sisters much amusement, for, no

and the doctor says she is the fairest he

society waste burn Oolumbia.
Colonel D. J. Palmer, commanding
aud to whom had entrueted the charge
of the most dangerous part OF the city,
Viz: that on the river and in "Cotton
Town." confirmed my opinion that there
was plot to burn the city, by telling
me several fires had started in his dis
trict; that he had succeeded in putting
them out so far, but could not hold out
much longer; and that, in his opinion,
the next ono would fire the city.
The wind after sunset bad increased in
violence. aud, about O'Clock, was blow
iog almost hurricane from Colonel
Paimer's district right towards the heart
Of the oity. All at once, fifteen or TWEEN
ty flames, from as many different places
nlong the river, shot up, and in ten mi
nutes the fate OF Columbia was settled
Most OF the ofli:ers, anu many of the
men, worked like heroes all night il.
saving property. Gen. Sherman set the
example. and often during the night I
noticed him as hard at work as any pri.
vate soldier or firoman. BY the mex,
morning, it was discovered the guard had
been too small; aud, although n square
mile OF the heart Of the city had beon
eaten out, and the mems appetite for re-
venge satiated, yet it was then considered
that division Of troops was necessary
Cor provost duty. My command was re.
l;eved to go into camp to rest and re-
crnit, as the entire command was ex,
hausted and worn cut.
On our march from Columbia, ore OF
the released Union officers noted above
called on me, and stated, as he had
heard rumors that~I had fred the city,
he wanted NE to take his nanc aud All
dress. and, if necessary, use him, as hia
testimony would entirely exoEcrate mo
from such charges.
Prisoners were always treated we'll by
their .captors. "Johnny" and ''Yank''

piece Of corn dotlger or ration OF coffee
1t was only when our men got into the
hands Of home guards that they were
maltreated. While it is true that few
noble Southern women visited The pri
sons in CUlu mbia, and clan destinely gave
onr sick soldiers such little delicacies as
a cup OF tea, toast, eto get it is not Ieas
true that some Of the prisoners suffered
more than one can write.
One soldier told me that, when in one
OF the prisone OF that city, he had asked
woman for something to eat, as lie was
starving. For al answer she .spat in his
face.
And now, "to return to the American
Indian, the true auswcr to the oonun.
drum is: Columbia was fred by an or.
ganization of Union officers released
from the prisons the day of the capture
OF that city, Union soldiers, and negroes.

Monday morning, about o'clock Mr..
Nathan had been sufferer from asthma
for some time, and that, together with
his weight of years, and recent family af-
hlctions, had all helped to contine him
in doors for several months, but, though
suffering at times dreadfully. his imme-
date death was not looked for. On
Monday morning, he walked across his
bedroom, supported by his son, and
seemed in usual health and spirits, but
shortly after getting upon his bed, and
while conversng with his son and the
doctor standing near, change was
noticed, he seemed TO be in fainting
condition, and in o moment, without
sign or word, the good old man, worn
out with life's tolls and troubles, yielded
up his spirit to his Maker. His death
was painless, sudden, aud like the snf.

The Anderson correspondent OF tie
Charleston Ne,os writes as follows about
e1-Minister Orr's remains:
A largo number of citizens met the
train at tho various depots along the
road to pay their respects TO the honored
dead. AL along the route there were
groups of ladies and gentlnmen. white
and colored people, gathered to obtain q
glimpae of the train, and as the truin
drew nearer to its destination. and oon-
seqIentiy nearer to the home of the de.
censed, the manifestations OF grief and
sympathy on the part of the people were
quite touching. Old gray. haired veto
rams, who had known and loved Judge
Orr from boyhcod, were moved to tears
OF passionate grief as the body was car
ried swiftly by.
The train. in consequence OF accident
did not reach Anderson until an hour
and half after it was duo. There was.
however, large concourse OF citizens at
the depot, and the remains werc re-.
ceived with becoming honor. At the
request Of tue family, there was no pub
lie demonstrations upon the arrival of
the body. The coffin was placed in q
hearse, aud, attended Ivy few members
OF the Anderson delegation md Mr.. ".

borne 10 the family mansion. = fsw in

PAY STEAL "A Washington despatch
says: There has been great deal Of in
diguation privately expressed by persons
interested at tho manner in which the
volumes of the 'Medical and Surgical
History Of the War" have been disposed

were from nine to elevcn sets printed for

would have at least that small number
OF physiciars in his district to whom he
ouid esteem it privilege to send the

OF sets found their way into the hands Of
dealers ia secondhand books and docu-
ment brokers, and at one time they were
selling for nine to ten dollars o set. The
price has since increased somewhat, but
there are still sets TO be had at very
moderate price compared with the cost

that several members sold their sets out.

The Future OF France,


A French soldier makes but q sorry
republican President. Like the Bona
parties, MaoMahon is guided by his mill
'tary instincts in governing France. It
is the iron hand that carries the sceptre,
and the ruler is really dictator and
despot. President Mac Mahon signalizes
the beginning of his reign by suppress
ing the newspapers. lie Coisaire is pro-
hibited in Paris. end street sales OF news
papers are summarily stopped in the De-
partment Of the Rhone. Those who are
expecting the display Of spirit OF abne-
cation in, the President, in that he will
quietly pave the way for q Bourbon or Q
Bonaparte to re-mount the throne, are
likely to be mistaken. Power is sweet,
and when soldier obtains it he is 10th
to abandon it to other men. MacMahon
will, doubtless, cling to the helm as long
as he can, and II his administration is
successful and he, finds that the people
are satisfied With him, it is probable
that the exampleiof certain predecessors
OF his will not be without their influence
upon him. The hrst Napoleon was d
Republican Consul before lie became an
Emperor. The third of the name made
the Presidency stepping stone to the
imperial crown. France may yet have a
third empire with new family at the
Tuileries.
,The next turning point in French his.
sery is the fish of September. Oa that
day, the last German soldier will retire
across the Rhine, and France will be free.
Popular demonstrations OF an extraordi-
nary character Will take place, If the
MaoMahon Government passe. that crisis
in safety. IFS soldfer-leader may grasp at
the crown. Bat: ii he should succeed.
Ibis reign could Is bat short. France is
becoming more Republican at heart
every day: She may be forced. by her
army, to submit to succession of mo-
narohs: MscMshon the First, Napo.
leon the Fourth, Louis Philippe the
Second and Henry the Fifth may follow
each other in. rapid succession. but in
every interregnam the republic will re.
tusa stronger than befo- Q. and some day
France will fnd her Washington who will
use power for: the people and not for
himself. and will establish free govern
ment on permanent basis.
