Late in the afternoon.it was announced that the infantry were entrenching, and this led ma fry to believe-that the town was not lost. The wish was. father to tiie thought. To those con versant with mil; tar v movements it bid icated an immediate retreat. . About sunset nearly five hundred prisoners, captured in the morn ing, were brought in and hurried to the Hont. As the shades of darkness began to cover the bid town, -the quartermaster and ordnance wagons nfoved towards the river and the in fant ry began to. pass to the ffont. Those cf us who intended leaving were assured tliat; we couiu nui remu.ni uh morning ; aim we retired to Our home and partook of our even ing repast with feeling3 that are not.easily described. Loved ones . separated ;.' fathers enibraex'd their children ; husbands and wives parted but I must stop. The.griefof such parting is too sacred for the public eye. On hurrying to the streets, I found them thronged with soldiers. It took me three hours to cross the bridge, just one mile from 'my residence. On crossing we repaired to the house of a friend, and sought a few hour's repose. ' Saturday morning ye returned to the river Soldiers and citizens were hurrying ' across. The enemy had entered the town, and been driven back' in' confusion. The cavalry on the outposts were drawn in and a line formed for the defence 6t the brhlge. .The troops crossed in a very orderly, quiet manner. Just before tlie last detaehmentbf cavalsy crossed, the steamers and Hats in the rivef we re 'fired. These w.ell known favorites floated from their moorings asJthe flames shot up towards the heavens. The enemy, in force .entered the town and commenced firing upon the rear of our retreating column. " i . The confusion amontr the citizens was, of course, imniftnso. In a fov moments the streets were clearedr-and the troops engaged ih a spirited fight &t long range. Justassooi as the last "detachment crossed the bridge it was fired.

Hardee on the 3d bast., our troops having crossed the Pee Dee, burning the bridge, behind them. 1 here was skirmishing for several miles be- fj-g rcaclii the town; and even in the streets, the enemy firing-down them shot and shell. Sherman, with the 15th, 17th, and 20th corps of his army, occupied the dawn, filling the dwellings of our wives and children with hisdnsolent minions, and even with the I degraded followers of his camp ; tearing1 down fences, searching every n'ookid corner over and over again for hidden treasures; robbing women, children and negroc of clothing and every other article, they fancied: destroying cattle, poultry, wagons, carriages, buggies, &c, &c, &c, desecrating churches and abus ing and maltreating aged and unarmed citi zens.

Twenty-six store-houses were burn ed m Cheraw and three or four destroyed by the explosion Of powder. Among the store houses,!! have included the railroad depot. Every office, or other place of business, was broken open a-.id rifled. The bank was con verted into a hospital, and the Presbyterian Church into a bill I -'room on .Sim Jay night. Several of our oldest and most respectable citizens had pistols presented at their breasts while the barbarians demanded their money and watcl-es" or their lives. Dilliaent search j Wflg mvn(c ih rough out the whole District, for Ueveral of our citizens wllb jad efl'ectea 1 their escape, and threats were made bgamst their lives if taken. Many other outrages we're perpetrated, says the '.South Carolinian, from which we extract the 'above. ; Affairs in Wilmington. A letter from Wilmington, dated, the 25th ult.,' "gives soine account of that city under Yankee rule. It says : The stores are not open as yet, however ; and for- the present considerable coh fusion prevails in private households,' owing tothe scarcity of supplies. But all this will be ar ranged iu a few days, when the markctmen, storekeepers and hucksters receive the requi site authority to resume buiess.

Not Correct The'Snpetintendentof Conscription, in a re port to Congress, intimates that the. concript law has not been fullv enforced in this S;t ate. This intimation or charge is not correct and does gross injustice to North 'Carolina, for we , venture to say that in no State ofthe Confed-! eracy has the conscript law been mora fttlly executed than in this, and no commander 'of conseriptsjias been more prompt in discharg ing his duties thaft-Gol. Mallctt, an-1 no Stafe authorities have cooperated more cordially in executing the law than ' have those of .North Carolina. President Davis- himself has given testimony on this point, for in his speech at the Depot in this place, last sum mer he declared that the law had been better enforced in North Carolina than in any other State. ' " Tlie fact , is, if other States had executed tlie law as well as Noith Carolina lias, our armies would be larger than they how are.

He says, "t'hereis, perhaps, no person in the'Confede raay to whose feelings and -interest such an event would be more repugnant than to mine. I have alivays thought that we ought to main tain the struggle for independence so long as there is a hope of success. .The General-in-Chief and the President of the Confederate States, as the highest military authorities, are best able to understand our resources and prospects. Whilst they have hone, in the contest it seems to me that we should do all in our power to strengthen their haads. But after. all, it is in the justice of our cause-that the hearts of our people shouldoe confirmed, and It is to the Chief Kuler of the Universe that thev should look for aid in the mighty struggle in which we are engaged."
