SAVANNAH TO FAYETTEVILLE.
Dbab Witnkss : An octivo'and vigorous cam
paiga into tho heart of Soutii Carolina, the insti
gtr of Ue present rebellion, has been marked
with to id uoh of interest thtt I ftcarccly know
what to write, among the numorons thrilling in
cidents that have marked onr course. The mag-
"nitudo and results of the' recent campaign entitle.
it to do ranked with the greatest achievements nl
the war.' The invasion of South Carolina by
Sherman' victorious arnijr, and tho occupation
of her capital, almost unopposed, after a march
of one hundred and twonty-five miles into tho
interior, has demonstrated anew tho internal
weakness of the Confederacy, anij'the hopeless
ness of a cause powerless to resist oar efforts to
sever its most important lines of communication.
The inaagaration of the campaign was delayed
sobu days by heavy rains in'January, causing a
long detour of the left wing of the army", in ,its
ai van oe from Savannah. Failing to make its
way along the line of the Charleson and Savan
Ma railroad, the .. eolumn moved up the west,

In our advance from this point we met iiieehle

We reached the r iilread en ihe 7lh, at Ba'm
lTg, so'cntyix miles from !hrl'st'iti, and as
far from Augusta. The work of destruction
was at once commenced, i'io whole army being
employed for four days. At the end of that
time, more than fif'v miles of tho road was
thoroughly destroyed, the ties being burp'--1
the rails twisted by a new and ingenious method.
All the cotton aloiiif our route was burned, an l
nueji private property uestroyed, besides the
collection of vast quantities of subsistence for
the army. J"hc people wure amply .supplied
with provisions, bflt tho'eonsumptiqekof a larfjo.
army left ihciu scarcely too means of supplying
Uitir necessities, and niucli salloring no doubt
ensued. Added to foraging, many of our sol
diefn pillaged tho. houses of all.classes, not ex
cepting the negroes. This was doao in violation
of strict, orders, and deserves the severest con
demnation, and afterwards resulted in tip mur
der ef numbers of our foragers, captureslVy the
enemy and shot in retaliation for the lawless acts,
of our soldiers during the campaign.
On the 11th wo resumed the advance, crossing
the South Edisto river, also the North Edisto
after a slight skirmish on the 13th. At Sandy
Run wo also met tho enemy's skirmtihers, and
on the 15th drove them.acros-s tho Congareo
Creek, after a brisk skirmish iu which wo hist
several killed and wounded. We camped within
two miles of Columbia, in full view of the city,
advancing our lines on tho morning of the Kith
to find the bridge destroyed, and no enomy visi-.
ble, xxcept a sinele battery and a few skirmishers
on the north bank of the Cougarce. The l5lh
corps crossed tho Saluda, above its confluence
with the Broad river, aud then skirmished across
th latter stream, above the city, during the
night. Under covor of a deqse fo, on the
morning of the 17tlveur liaet advanced, driving
tho enemy's ekirmishers from their position, and.
socuring the erossing. At 10 a. n., Mayor
Goodwin, with a flag of truee, came out and tur
rendered the city, our troops taking immediate
possession. Tho army continued crossing tho
rivor duriug the afternoon, the 1st Division
marching through tho city with music and ban
ners, proud of an almost bloodless triumph.
But the beautiful capitoj of the Palmetto State
was nearly deatroyeej by fir during tho ensuing
eight. ...The soldiers Qr.diug large quantifies of
whisky, many became intoxicated and tho city
wae fired early ra the '.evening. I'ue 'wind was
blowing strongly, from tho uth-westF, and the
flames spread rapidly in spite of every effort to
stay their orogrcss. ' Tho firs engines soon failed,
and the city was abandoned to its fate. Guards
were posted in all parts of the town to prevt-nt
further acts of incendiarism, and all possible vi- ;
ilance was exercised, but in vain. More ihaai
half the city was consumed, including uh the
busiuess portion, with two ehurches, the nunne
ry, and a largo number of costly residences.
Such a scene I hope never to witness again,,
FaroiUeed ia disirijiylrgni their mansion?, wit h
such articles of value as they ooul 1 procure,, leav
ing all their cOstly furniture to be destroyed.
Hnndreds of families, upon whom the sun set iu
affluence beheld the dawn in helpless poverty and
ruin. I could hot erpress -my sympathy for tho
sad gnups I mot in the out, skirts of the city the
following tnorniug, forgettiug that liiey werehc
enemies of my country, in pity for thoir condi
tion. Probably not less than $20,000,000 of
property was destroyed in a few brief hours.
During the progress of the Conflagration I mot
Dr? Breaker, the pastor of the Baptist church iu
tho city, who felt deeply anxious for the safety
of his new house of worship,' which Escaped do-,
structiou, though all around it was consumed.
Many of tho members were rendered homeless,
and his support, already precai ious, was rendered
utterly hopeless. Although receiving a salary
of $5000, ho expended $3000 for house rent,
tho parsonage boiug such a house as "would com mand
$300 annual rout in lndiauupolis. Tho
remaining portion of his "salary would be equiva

railroads leading toward Richmond und'hinles

cans requires the assistance of sueh men to se
cure its col, it must indeed be rapidly verging
toward ruin.
But I must pause, and leave tho desolated
capita of S mth Carolina to follow tho course of
the army mi its return to the coast. My regi
ment was last to leave the city. On Monday,
February 20th, we moved north-west toward
W'hnisboro, and after three days rapid marching,
crossed the Wateroe river, when we changed our
course, moving to the east of Caaiden, and
crossing Lynch creek, a branch, of the Great
I'edee, on tho 3d of M'areh, after four days de
lay by the high water. While here, news of the
evacuation of Charleston and Wilmington was
received, through prisoners from the latter plaee,
proving, the. wisdom ef Sherman's plans aud
operations . (
Wo moved forward upon Cheraw, oa the Great
I'edee, which place was occupied by tho 17th
corps on the '.id of March. A l$rge amount of
ammunition and seventeen pieces of artillery fell
into our hands. A fearful explosion occurred
here on the morning of the -5th of March, whie'3
resulted in the killing and wounding of a nm
ber of soldiers and citixens. While tho army
was t fJeethg a crossing of the Great Pedee, a
force w.'S sent to l'lcrenou, to destroy communi
cations and stores, unJer command of Col.
Williams, of the l-th Indiana. I aee j jiauied
tho parly, which returaed on the (ith, baring
destroyed considerable public property, and
brought off thirty prisoners after a severe skir
mish witlra superior force of rebels.
The army moved from Cheraw u . tui
FayStteville on the Cape Fear i .vor, encounter
ing almost insuperable difficulties on the .vote,
the roads beeomiug nearl ; impassable- from U
raius. The march oceupicd fiye days, our ad
