| therefore directed the left wing to
march for Sneedsboro', about 10 miles
above Cheraw, to cross the Pedee there,
while ! in person proposed to cross over
and join the right wing in Cheraw.
Early in the morning of the Sd of
March / rode out of Chesterfield along
with the Twentieth Corps, which filled
the road, forded Thompson's Creek, and,
at the top of the hill beyond, found a
road branching off TO the right, which
corresponded with the one on my map
leading to Cheraw. Seeing a negro
standing by the roadside, looking at the
troops passing, | inquired of him what
road that was.

it a good road, and how far?" "a

my horse down the road, and the rest of

the questions about the road, and asked
the negro what he was doing there.
He answered, Dey say Massa Sherman
will be along soon!" Why" said
Gen. Barry, that was Gen. Sherman

The poor negro, almost in the atti-
tude of prayer, exclaimed: De great
God f! just look at his horse !" He
ran up and trotted by my side for a
mile or SO, and gave me all the informa-
ton be possessed, but he seemed to adj

n of Richard Bacot, of Charleston,

son of Richard Bacot of Charleston,
whom | had known as a cadet at West
Point. They were just from Charleston,
and had been sent away by Gen. Har-
dee in advance, because he was, they
said, evacuating Charleston. Rumors
to the same effect had reached me
through the negroes, and it was, more
over, reported that Wilmington, n. c.,
was in possession of the Yankee troops /;
so that | had every reason to be satisfied
that our march was fully reaping all
the fruits we could possibly ask for.
Charleston was, in fact, evacuated by
Gen. Hardee on the 18th of February,
and was taken possession of by a brigade
of Gen. Fosters troops, commanded by
Gen. Schimmelpfennig, the same day.
Hardee had availed himself of his only
remaining railroad, by Florence to Che
raw; had sent there much of his am
munition and stores, and reached it with
the effective partof the garrison in time to
escape across the Pedee River before our
arrival. Wilmington was captured by
Gen Terry on the 22d of February !;
but of this important event we only
knew by the vague rumors which reached
us through rebel scsrces.
FORWARD TO CHERAw.
Gen. jeff C. Davis cot across the
Catawba during the 9th, and the gen.
eral march was resumed on Cheraw.
Fitzpatrick remained near Lancaster,
skirmishing with Wheeler's and Hamp-
tons cavalry, keeping up the delusion
that we proposed to move on Charlotte
and Salisbury, but with orders to watch
the progress of the Fourteenth Corps,
and to act in concert with it on its left
rear. On the LIST of March | was at
Finlay's Bridge across Lynch's Creek,
the roads so bad that We had to corduroy
nearly every foot Of the way; but | was
in communication with all parts of the
army, which had met no serious opposi-
ton from the enemy. On the I'd of
March we entered the village of Ches-
terfeld, skirmishing with Buffers cav
airy, which gave ground rapidly. There
] received message from Gen. Howard,
who reported that he was already in
Cheraw with the Seventeenth Corps, and
that the Fifteenth was near at hand.
Gen. Hardee had retreated eastward
across the Pedee, burning the bridge.

with shot, she'll, and ammunition.
These were hauled in wagons to the
Ealuda River, under the supervision of
Col. Baylor, Chief Of Ordnance, and
emptled into deep water, causing a very
serious accident By the bursting of a
percussion-shell, as it struck another on
the margin of tie water The fame fol-
lowed back a train OF powder which
had sifted out, reached the wagons, still
partially loaded, and exploded them,
killing is men and destroying several
wagons and teams of mules. We also
destroyed several valuable foundries
and the factory of Confederate money.
The dies had been carried away, but
about 60 hand-presses remained. There
was also found an immense quantity OF
money, in various stages Of manufacture,
which our men spent and gambled with
in the most lavish manner
on THE MARCH AGAIN.
Having utterly ruined Columbia, the
right wing began its march northward,
toward Winnsboro, on the goth, which
We reached on the Dist, and found Gen.
Slocum, with the left wing, who had
come by the way of Aston. Thence
the right wing was turned eastward,
toward Cheraw, and Fayetteville, North
Carolina, TO cross the CataWba River at
Peay's Ferry. The cavalry was ordered
TO follow the railroad north as far as
Chester, and then to turn east to Rocky
Mount, the point indicated for the pas
sage Of the left wing. In person
reached Rocky Mount on the 22d, with
the Twentieth Corps, which laid its
pontoon-bridge and crossed during the
23d.
Fitzpatrick arrived the next day, in
the midst Of heavy rain, and was in
structed TO cross the Catawba at once,
by night, and to move up to Lancaster,
TO make believe we were bound for
Charlotte, to which point | heard that
Beauregard had directed all his detach-
ments, including corps of Hoods old
army, which had been marching paral-
lei with US, but had failed to make
junction with the forces Immediately
opposing US.
Of course, / had no purpose of going
to Charlotte, for the right wing was
already moving rapidly toward Fayette-
vile, \ {. The rain was so heavy and
persistent that the Catawba River rose
fast, and soon after | had crossed the
pontoon-bridge at Rocky Mount it was
carried away, leaving Gen. Davis, with
the Fourteenth Corps, on the west bank.
The roads were infamous, so | halted
the Twentieth Corps at Hanging Rock
for some days, TO alow time for the
Fourteenth to get over.
Gen. Davis had infinite difficulty in
reconstructing his bridge, and was com
PEELED to use the fifth chains of his
wagons for anchor-chains, so that we
were delayed TO- nearly a week in that
neighborhood. While in camp at Hang
ing Rock two prisoners were brought to

SUBJECT OF INVESTIGATION,
This whole subject has since been
thoroughly and judicially investigated,
in some cotton cases, by the Mixed Com
mission on American and British claims,
under the Treaty of Washington, which
commission failed to award verdict in
favor of the English claimants, and
thereby settled the fact that the destluc-
ton of property in Columbia during
that night did not result from the acts
OF the General Government OF the

packed in oil-skn bags, SO as to be con-
venient to carry and not be injured by get

the Dyea. This stream springs from two
great glaciers, which spread down from
either side Of the Chilcoot Pass. The first
portion of the valley is rather wide, then it
gradually closes into what is termed the
canyon. The present trail is an entirely new
one, and as it was designed for pack horses,
it is far easier than the old one, which was
traversed by Archbishop Seghers and his
party. This trail leads across the stream
six OF seven times, and these tords consti-

Plenty of Business to Keep the Court
Engaged.
Many minor cases were before the SUI
perior court yesterday and Judge Falli-
CANT was kept busy all day measuring out
justice.
Two or three juries were kept alternat-
ing, and the cases were tried in rapid
succession.
Ned Wade was found guilty of burglary
and was sentenced to pay fine of 500, or
go to the chan-gang for twelve months.
julius Black, held on a charge of assault
with intent to murder, was found guilty
and sentenced to serve three years in the
penitentiary.
e. NJ. Anderson ct. al, filed a petition to
transfer certain stock belonging to a GER
tain estate, one of the heirs having at
tanned majority.
Thomas L. Hill, attorney for Charles
hellar, filed a. motion for a new trial KEEL
lar was recently convicted of perjury, hav-
ing been charged with swearing falsely
in the case of the state against Pat Kear-
ney, charged with murder. Kellar swore
that he was on the corner where the MUIR
der was committed, when other witnesses
swore that he was indoors in a neighbor-
ing house. Kellar was found guilty by
the jury in the trial, and Judge Falligant
sentenced him to serve ten years in the
penitentiary. The motion for a new trial
is based on what are termed in law gem
eral grounds, namely, that the verdict of
guilty was contrary to evidence.

ASKS TO CHANGE ITS ROUTE.
SUBURBAN AND WEST END RAIL
WAYS PETITION.

Wants to Remove It's Tracks From
Railroad Street and Enter the
City Through West Boundary,
New, Farm, ZubIy, West Broad and
st. Julian StreetS-Thc City COun-
ell to Act Upon the Matter To-day.
A special meeting of council will be
held to-day at noon to consider a petition
from the Savannah and West End railway
to be allowed to remove it's track from
Railroad street and enter the city by
new route.
A conference was held yesterday at the
city exchange between the representatives
of the railway company and the street and
lane committee. The work of paving Rail
road street having begun, it was neces-
sary for the railway company to alter the
position Of its track to accord with the
new plan OF the street, and in addition the
company would be liable to an assessment
for the cost of paving its right-of-way.
The representatives of the company pro-
posed at the conference that instead of
being required to change the position of
the track and pay the paving assessment,
biidt ~ DS dllONeu u remove It's track TO
other streets. AS the track is considered
an obstruction on Railroad street, this
proposition was regarded with favor by
the committee. and Chairman Davis was
authorized to confer with the representa-
tives of the railway company as tog the
new route desired by them, and to report
at special meeting of council at noon
to-day.
The company's petition will ask that It
be allowed to remove its track from Rail-
road street. between West Broad street
and the Ogeechee canal. and to pursue the
following route from that point: North
on West Boundary street to New street,
east on New street to Lumber or Farm
street, thence north on Lumber OF Farm
to Zubly, east on zubly to West Broad,
north on West Broad to st. Julian, and
east on st. Julian to the city market.

Shipments of vegetables from Savannah

tomatoes. Nearly every other vegetable
has had its run, and its season is over, but
tomatoes, large. red and juicy, are Begin

Very good prices are being obtained for
tomatoes in the north and east, and the
truckers say that such, on the whole, has
been the case with all their products.
Potatoes are about played out, only
small and steadily decreasing shipments
now being made.
Some few peaches from South Georgia
have been received at Savannah, but they
have all been of an inferior quality. There
is no prospect of any good peaches, with
the exception of Elbertas, which will make
their appearance later. Even the Elbertas,
the pride of the Georgia fruit growers, are
away off this season, both in quality and
in quantity. When their shipping starts

then sent $40 by telegraph, but, In the
meantime, she, with her mother, had sail
ed, and the money was returned to ODay.
II Is said there are a number OF sensa-
