| Sherman's March through South Carolina |
| Our Southern exchanges, which have gotten
through the mail blockade, give us some intelligence of the scenes of
barbarism which have attended Sherman's march. Dr. Glover, of
Orangeburg, South Carolina, who was captured by Sherman's troops
between Orangeburg Courthouse and Columbia, and held as a prisoner
until the Yankee army passed Lancaster Courthouse, was with the enemy
in their march through Columbia and Winnsboro', and gives the
Charlotte (North Carolina) Democrat an interesting account of their
conduct in those places and on the line of march: |
| ***** The Charlotte & South Carolina
railroad was destroyed from Columbia to Blackstock's (a station
between Chester and Winnsboro'), a distance of about fifty miles. The
cross-ties were burnt and the rails
twisted. ***** |
