Count Of their dtSagTe5aient assstt1 who

by our readers that General Sherman at
tempted TO avoid the odium and con-
tempt which enlightened public opinion
has cast upon him for his cruel and bru-
tai conduct in Columbia by saying that
the Confederate soldiers burnt Columbia
before retfeating. Governor Hampton
promptly refuted the slander Of Gen.
Sherman, and not only proved to tho
country that 1t was done by Sherman's
orders, but also that his denial of it was
false. OF course Sherman would dislike
TO see Hampton Governor, and he may
be using his influence to prevent the re-
moval Of troops, but 1t will all amount to
the same thing In the end, for Hampton
was elected and inaugurated: The
Courts and the people sustain him. He
is and will be Governor of South Carolina
for the next two years, at least, despite
Sherman. Hayes or any other fraud.
