Yours truly,

ST.. rsmors, Mn. juno goth. 1881.

Sr IStgoEs' Mn, June goth, 1881.
Messrs. Editors That We have all within US
desire to palliate our wrong actions will adj
mi. neither Of controversy nor denial. And that
this desire IS mors deeply ingrafted in some in
diyiduals than mothers must be equally certain.
earehl perusd Of Gen. W 7. Sherman's
speech at Hartford, on sth inst fully veri6es tho
above assertion. The General continues to aE-
sert that Gen. Hamptons troops set fire to CO.
lumbia sc. Now, l was prisoner during
a part Of Shermans march through South
Carolina, aud although kept with Gryiere garde,
could see enough Of the actions Of the Feder-
ais. particularly after they crossed the Gongaree
river. TO .convnce me that Gen. Hampton's
troops did not commit the Ncro-ke action,
When We arrived at Columbia, the smoke OF the
burning buildings had not cetsed to ascend, and
both officers and privates seemed to enjoy the dis
tressing scene In fact, srs, 1t isso evident that
The Federas were the originators of the fire in
question that proof itself Is an insult on so clear
a point Alas II appears bad men sometimes
arrive at pre-emnence CT by shorter road than
those Of 4 contrary description. Justice, though
slow. Is sure, and the damnable actions OF Sher-
man will rise up in judgment against him, at the
tribunal Of sovereign justice.
Feelingly, &co

TWILIGHT.
For the INTELLIGENCRR.
Ilove thee, twilight dear, to sec,
What charms in thought thou hast for me;
Precepts that each should learn to know,
Thou dost in all good truth bestow.
To me thou dost, in image bold,
Depict that which doth worlds unfold;
As thou art heir to day and night,
Adore we thee with wond'ring sight.
A child thou art of parents two,
But one alone thou canst pursue:
Behold. thou vast this evening born.
OF mother fair, in grace unshorn.
Yet, as gaze upon thy life,
pine to see that thou art rife
With ways secluded both and vain
Paternal darkness hast thee slain.
But scarcely hast thy dirge been sung,
Ere By a thousand crickcts' tongues,
The birth OF sister fair is told,
Her. too, in ways and end behold.
Now she, like truth, with light for guide.
Hath none of carth's dark sins to hide;
But open wide are all her ways,
While joy and splcndor crown her days.
SO thus 10 us a lie Is given.
A goal OF wrath or crown of heaven;
The one by dark unseen deeds gained,
With open life the others obtained.
OGod, while we this path do tread.
Reveal to us the joys DER head
For those who in thy love do spend
A happy, useful life till end.
And in oar hope OF bliss to come,
May We be 10th to reach that home
without some sheavcs for garner worth,
Which lie to reap, hath sent Us forth.
