The Hon. "Alfred Hucrer has addressed . tho
following letter to a "war" paper in this city:
( Ciiaklestox, S. C, August 22.
Sir: ii most unwillinsrlv leave tho fibxr-nrifi?
and retirement which old age and circum
stances have provided; but a remark in your
paper of the 1:5th seems to demand it. A wri
ter signed "S.," replying to an article in Kar-
per s 4Uagazme lor August, introduces my
name in these words: "This must refer to Al
fred linger, for many years postmaster at
v.jituiescon, &c., ci.c. turn to the ilagazme,
arid to; my snrprisc find a contributor whose
purposes and motives it is not my business to
define, making capital out of so barren a sub
ject as myself. Beginning with the "Burning
of Columbia," and the abuse of General Hamil
ton, he says: "Amohe; others to whom I was
sent to give' assistance was "Mr. Hr.er. n. well
known citizen of South; Gvrolina," and then
recounts an elaborate conversation about a
band of thieves, calling themselves "Wheeler's
cavairy, &c; and m another part of his nar
rative writes: "Wicn the citizens of Columbia
begin their investigations of the burning of
that city, and the pillaging bf houses and the
robbing of citizens, let them not forget to take
the evidence of IIr Huger!" I am thus put
on the stand without being consulted, and shall
commence by saying that if this'individualor
any other was. ever "sent" to-my 'assistance,"
Ih o mission has been strangely, disrecpirded.
I never savvi any such person as he claims to
be, though I was an eye'-witness to the burn
ing of Columbia. I never had ahv siudi intor-
tf'rars with any human being in General Shcr
man's army, or out of it; and if investigations
i are mane anci tne evidence of Mr. linger is
j called for, I shall, with a deep consciousness
ol wliat is due to truth, sav ttiat. bf-fovn Al
mighty God, all that I saw; all that I heard.
an iiiau sunereel, au tnatl believe, is in di
rect opjibsition to what is affirmed by the wri
ter for Hnrper's Magazine, and for wl;Jch he
o notes Mr. linger as a nortion of his autliori-
-- . j r-
ty; and I ask leave to add; after maturely re-
nf.'cimg upon tne events ot tli.at'tearlul nigbt,
when; every feeling of humanity seemed in lu
, v t '
oliliterated, if my well-being here and here
after depended upon the accuracy of my state
ment, I would say that the precision, method,
order and discipline which prevailed from the
entrance of the .Federal army to its d-r:-vtnrn
could only emanate from military authority.
lidwicould I come to any other' conclusion,
with the fact, regarded as indisputable, that
the city was doomed before it vvsm t.sik(n?:iml
tjiat as the, tragedy progressed, everybody s.iw
the programme earned out an they" h id' pre
viously expected? or am I to believe my own
senses when an individual pretending to be an
qlricer talks of burning the city, pillaging
houses, robbing citizens, .vc., as if these -were
unfou-ided charges? AMiy, sir,1 I never sup
posed that I was dealt with more hardly than
others, because I know that the "plunder" was
Universal. Yet Mr. Kuger, who is to bear wit
ness for one who was sent .to assist him, now
deehiresthat he was ruthlessly nibbed; that his
person "tfas ruthlessly violated ;' that food was
taken from his children, and that his family
were brut ally insulted-by well-mnunted and
well-armed' men in tho uniform of tho United
States! . For nught' I know it nwy be usual or
oven necessary to grant this license, while the
denial is equally almird and v:ivLc!, and the
attempt to implicate others is a consummation
of both! But this is the end that such things
come to, and tho natural consequence of cull
ing witnesses to prove what; the witnesses
themselves know to be false. I s7iw those who
were ivpuarcntlv idvinir their viwations i"bin-
cTim:nistiiio iLs-; 4 canning wiui t!um
foolish attempt to hold Hampton responsible,
is beyond the tether! of his last calumniator,
and is hardly worthy of a serious 'refutation.
These few questions, when they are asked, will
be found difficult to answer. YHiere was
Hampton when thoj conflagration began to

Johnson Meeting in Boston. An enthusi

cvemng, of the supporters of President John
son and his policy, for the purpose of ratify
ing the proceedings of the Philadelphia Con
vention. Col. Isaac H. Wright presided, as
sisted by four vice presidents, witri Robert
Cj Wmthrop at their head, including John
Quincy Adams, and many of the leadin" pol
iticians of the National Union party. i
The principal speech of the evening was
made by John Quincy AdarnsV SIr. Adams
was welcomed with ringing and repeated
cheers. After a few words of introduction he
proceeded to give the reasons why ho ave
his cordial support to tho proceedings of the
recent convention held in Philadelphia. Ho
said that he had waited months hopin" that
this trouble would not lead to a sprit in the
Republican party. He thought now that
this troubio would not have arisen in the
ranks of the Republican party if there had
been less of passion, less of bickering and
of sucn actions as those of the Radicals in
the recent Congress.; He then proceeded, at
considerable length, to advocate and defend
ine poncy oi resident Johnson.

Havc you a family at home?" Ku answered
"Yes.' I said to him, "1113- family are ill in

and uselessly sacked and burned, without re

fiencral Sherman's army; but who gave the or
der to apply the torch, "is hot for the victims

I Mr. Editor, I crave your patience a little

tence in the article of which I complain. .It
reads thus: "If Mr. Vvade Hamilton is nmlniK

honest inan between the mountains and the
sacos't, -and between. thG Savannah, and tho
Pedec, when I say, "If this opinion and this
epithet are not equally revolting and insult
ing, then the common sensibilities of nature
are made extinct by the 'sufferings wc have
endured."- If -"Hampton," is 7 a "dishonored
name," then there is none within the limits
of this down-trodden and persecuted State can
be considered as unsullied. Here in South
Carolina, and throughout the South, every hu
man being feels that where the name oi Hamp
ton is well known it is most revered, and lie
who bears it the most beloved. Beforo the
present incumbent saw the light that name
was identified with all that is brave and hon
