Yano campaign of the distinguished strategist who in the hollow of his hand the destinies of one of two great Union armies have his ripe wisdom, Superior strategy, sound Judgment and remarkable @mergy stood out in boldex relief than in the campaign terminating with the occupation of this city. ‘With the forces of Johnston, Bragg, Hardee, Hampton, Cheatham, 8. D. Lee, Wheeler and Butler, numbering forty thousand men ail told, scattered over South ‘North: Carolina, from Auguetato Charleston and on, with an abundance of railways to ehable Shem to concentrate and deliver battle, it is indeed mar- yas how Sherman could have avoided a pitched and safely conducted his forces to this point after campaign of fifty days, marked by the worst roads I ever seen, and nearly twonty days of constant rein, Ghat flooded the rivers and streams in his front, ‘Yet the fact is now patent that he has accomplished he work marked out, and the public look on in wonder astonishment, and are forced to the eoncluaion that rebel forces in the Carolinas are so demoralized that leaders dare not trist them in a pitched battle. J his present campaign we find Sherman: penetrating ‘the coast into South Carolina, evidently leading the y to believe that his Orst blow would be at Charles- fea. The enemy tmmeuravcyy endeavored to concentrate gbout Branchville and Charloston, when Slocum was push- @éup towards Augusta, and the enemy now believed that @Rerman’s feint was with the right wing, and tho blow come from the left, Cheatham's and Hill's corps, wn from the front of the right wing, posted off to Agusta, and commenced digging. Whilo Slocam de- (onstrated. on Augusta, Howard easily seized the Charles- fom and Branchville and Branchville and Columbia Rail- peads, severing communications, and then Slocum sud- @erly turned to the right, and, leaving the main rebel force digging dirt at Augusta, hurried forward upon Columbia, cutting all the railways, burning all the brkiges, tearing up the Virginia and South Carolina Rail- way, and leaving a starved and smoking wildernces be- hind him for the enemy’s inheritance, should he turn to ‘Wilmington and Charleston consequently tumbled before Ghermen’s strategy, and the wily enemy, now strength- ened by the garrison from those cities, threw himself in ur pach st Charlotte, exfecting to hurl herman back ‘end compel! him to make a basty exit to the sea, @locum again struck to the left, and the enemy felt @enfidert that for once they had gueseed Sherman's ta, tentions aright—that Charlotte, with ite factorics, ma- @hine shops, and railway rolling” stock, was a morsel too @weet for the mouse Sherman to throw over bis shoul- Ger, Bot how wofully were they deceived! Uncovering Vayettevilie and Goldsboro by this movement, Sherman feon improved the rebel blunder by wheoling bie columns fto line and pushing for this point before the enemy @euld countermaretérom Charlotie, ‘We now see the wisdom of the great chieftain in all its beauty. By his mysterious movements he has wrested the whole const from {Newbern to Savannah frem the pebels’ grasp, utterly destroyed she railways of South Garolina, overrun and laid waste one-third of the great formed a junction with Schofield, and oompelicd entire rebel force of Georgia and the Carolinas to @encontrate about Raleigh, where, with his immenso @emy, in « few days, he will, no doubt, by a decisive @troke, put the finishing coat of polish upom General Joo Gobneton, if he does not also compel Lee to evacuate Bichmond entirely to Grant.

This has materially mystified the enemy, who flee before therm, and never where the'main army is, or whore to direct their ins to strike it, While passing through South @erolins the foragers formed = complete and e@cient line of fankers, who, encamping ten, Qwenty and forty giles im front, and on tho 9, throw out their pickots and built their fires tn the pe won deceiving the enemy into the bellof that camp fires wore the blvousos of the main army, When, perhaps, the occupants of the forest wore @ party @f only ten or twenty, When the history of tho war gomes to be written the foragers—or “bummers,”’ as they are vulgarly tormed—will form an tnterosting @hapter, In this cxmpaign thoy havo demonstrated that hey ere of moro service thon cavalry in cloaring tho Front and fianks of the enemy, Hvery town oocupind war pap'ured ty the “bummers—an tadisputable evidence of ‘Boo domoralization and wookness of the enemy, INCIDENTS OF THM Manca, Tho march from the Savannah to the Cape Fear yes replete with many ineitents of importance, which fa my etter of yoeterday I was comp lod to drop low I will give you a fow of thom, as voll as ekethes fome polnis that bear a Roroluvionary interest, with wd) hare cssociated the paint of Marion, Sumter and a Dest 0. otaer Revolutionary ap'rita now slocping Leuca: She grien sod of the valloy, At Chora wa faved tho marble etones that immortals ize Francis Marion and Sumter, and many a loyal soldier Carried off some memento {rom the spot. 4 ONION WOMAN IX SOUVH CAROLINA, At Brighton, Barnwe!! district, the only white residenta we found werea Mrs, Rellly, sister aud two children, all the others having disappeared before our evlumn arrived up. Mrs. Reilly had in her possession letters establish- ing the fact that her father ts a Union soldier, serving in the Eleventh New York, and her brother a member of the Ferty-ffth New York, Some time in 1869 she emi- grated to the Bouth as a governess, and for many months filted that capnetty in the famtly of Mr. Bostwick, In 1860 she married her present husband, Reilly, who is a conscript and native ef South Carolina.

One of Kilpatrick's scouts was with Wheelcr’s men at Bluckstock, in dis- guise, and saw them call out one ata time a party of eighteen, all of whom were shot. The thirst for revenge Was not oven then frasifed, and they horribly mutilated the bod ith knives and pinned upon the bodies of a Party of eight, ‘‘Death to all foragers.” Kilpatrick held 4 TRUCE WITH WHEELER, when he strongly protested against such a barbarous mode of warfare and threatened retaliation. General Wheeler most emphatically denied all knowledge of the murder, and assured Kilpatrick that all persons detected in the murder of prisoners should receive the punishment. due the offence, Iam inclined to think that Wheeler is nota party to these outrages; but if his men raise the dlack tlag, of course he must be held responsible for their acts and retaliation be meeted out to them, REFEL RELICS EXHUMED, On arriving at Little River, Carlin found the brid burned, and ordered the flooring of Ebenezar chure near by, torn up 0 repair it. ‘When the flooring hi been removed, hidden under the brick walls were found three costly gold and silver mounted canes, three ancient swords and a fine riffe, ovidently placed there by some rebel for sale keeping. Ono of the canes was marked “R. Lewis,” LEXINGTON is a very pretty little town of about five hundred inhabi- tants, situated on high, rolling Jand, through which a fine stream of water runs, furnishing considerable moti! power. The Court House and jail are neat and substan- tial stone struotures, and the other buildings are chiefly wooden ones, of more or less pretensions to elegance, Many of the residences are handsomely ornamented, and superbly furnished in thelr interior arrangements. The Citizens we found orderly and affuble, conversing freely and feolingly upon the war and ite horrors. There are several Union families residing in the town, who had barbored and fed our prisoners escaped from tho Colum- bia pen, and to-day their kindness was rewarded by their property Leing well protected. COLONEL BOCZRR, THE BOLD. CAROLINIAN. Among the old rosideuts of the place isa ere fome note, and a prominent public man, named > with whose family I passed a couple of hours very pleas- antly to-day. TI understand from his neighbors that he was one of the convention passed =the secession ordinance, and the only one who had the bold- ‘ness to stand up and speak and vote against it, and frown upon and defy the infernal plotters when they endca- vored to hiss him into silence. Lconversed with him freeley; but, while I found bim @ well-read lawyer and an accomplished gentleman, I failed to discover whether his eympathies are now with us or our enemics. THE REBELS ADMIT THE MURDER OF OUR PRISONERS. At Barnwoll I had the good fortune to capture a mail carrier, with many letters written by Wheeler's cavalry to their friends. These letters are Soft pho importance, inazmauch ag they admit what General Kilpatsick has long suspected, tHiat our priconers are murdered after capture, I will not copy entire. The first is dated “Camp of Third Georgia cay: Savannah river, December 15, 1864,” addressed to “Lieutenant Madden, Company E, Twentieth Georgia regiment, Benning’s Prlaade, Field's division, Richmond, Va.,’’ and ia signed by “Your brother, Joli.

Alter speaking of the baitle of Waynesboro, he says:— We didn't show any quarter nor askany, Therewes a great many captured and then killed on both elses, which I was very anuch opposed to. eutonle member CAPTAIN EDMUNDS CUT OFF, When near Lexington, Carlin’s division was attacked in front by Wheelers. Among those wio were cat off when the attack was made was Captain Fdmunde, Assistant Adjutant General to General Carlin, who, pur: sued by the rebels, rom his horse {nto a swamp, and hid until the enemy had been driveh back. J , orderly to Colonel Milea, on the retreat fell from his horse, which came in riderless, Two hours aftor hecame up from the rear, carrying his eabre and ro- voiver, having broke into the woods and made a detour of six’ miles About thirty of our wagons were cut oif an , and captured.
