about the harness or wagon and the
horses began to run. Mr.. Fitch refined
them out by the fence but could not stop
them. They turned and passed over the
road and just then the pole dropped down
breaking into three pieces. The stoppage
of the wagon was so sudden that Mr..
Fitch was thrown out, and the wagon
went partly over him, one wheel resting
upon him. The horses became free from
the wrecked wagon, went on until one OF
them broke a leg aud fell, part way down
the hill. Assistance was rendered and
Mr. Fitch carried home, much bruised
but not otherwise seriously hurt, it is
thought. The horse whose leg was bro.
ken had to be killed. The other was not
much injured. The injuries to the wa.
gou, aside from the broken pole, were
comparatively slight.

WHO BURNED coLuMRIA4
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED
STATES,

STATES,
WASHINGTON, Sept. -, 1873.
Editor Of Tie Ci.onicle.
When you applied to me some time
ago for material bearing on the contro-
versy of "who burnt Columbia ?"
gave you two printed pamphlets which
| had obtained from Judge Holt con-
tanning all the testimony taken in the
cotton cases growing out of that event
and submitted to the mixed commission
appointed to adiudicate these cases I'M
der the treaty with Great Britain.
Judge Holt could have obtained the
testimony of all the eight or ten thou
sand officers and soldiers who were at
or near Columbia when the confagra-
ton occurred, but he thought he had
enough without putting the government
to the expense of bringing more witness
ses from distance. l suppose he did
not summon Colonel Store, who COM
manded the leading brigade of the
Fifteenth Corps, because he did not
know where to find him. 1 surely did
not know his whereabouts till he volun-
tarily published his statement
In my official report of the affair,
published before the close of the war,
when Wade Hampton was fighting us,
and not when, as he alleges, he was q
prisoner of war, L referred incidentally
to fact of which had knowledge that
a small detachment of the Seventeenth
Corps had passed over the Congaree,
had entered Columbia, and hoisted a
flag on the new State House in advance
of the regular entry of the Fifteenth
Corps, which had made n circuit to
cross the two branches, Solinda and
Broad, which make the Congaree. /
treated the performance of this detach-
ment as somewhat irregular, but the
men who composed it now become i'm
portant witnesses, and herewith en-
close copies of their written statements,
together with official reports which ex-
plain the whole affair.
These witnesses go back to a time
three. quarters of an hour before the
entry of the head of Stones brigade,
and about two hours ahead of the time
1 personally reached the piles of burn
ing cotton, of which there were many,
and I invite your careful perusal of
their statements, for they are positive
that they saw rebel cavalry soldiers rip
ping open the bales of Gotten and apply
ing fire. They also saw rebel soldiers
plundering the stores on Main street,
which Gen. Hampton attributes to our
men and they further positively assert
that Hampton had already gone out of
Columbia, so that he could not and did
l..
