The note-signers at Columbia.
--The Columbia (S. C) Carolinian has the following appeal in behalf of the helpless young women who have been sent there through the folly of the authorities:
From eighty to ninety of these fair gentlewomen have arrived in Columbia, and are temporarily quartered at the several hotels, the hospitable proprietors of which are, as we are informed, charging only nominal rates, and doing their utmost to render their guests comfortable.
The ladies, however, must have other places of residence.
It is true that Columbia is crowded, but we have never known a South Carolina home so full that it would not expand with the hearts of its generous tenants.
Hence, we hope, before the week expires, to see each one of these Richmond sisters happily ensconced among the private families of our city.--They are here not voluntarily; nay, many have shed tears in anticipation of a cold, unwelcome greeting; they are accomplished, and only by reason of the vicissitud
The Florida.
--The Columbia (S. C.) Carolinian is indebted to Mr. S. Vegel, one of the officers of the far-famed steamer Florida, who has just returned home on a brief furlough, for the following interesting particulars concerning the movements of our little navy on the ocean:
The Florida, three weeks ago, touched at the island of Bermuda, to land Lieut Averett, her executive officer, who was severely lit. Second Lt. Lingard Hoole was left at Martinique, for the same cause.
Just one year ago, the Florida, while at Bermuda, was received with a royal salute of twenty one guns, her officers in the evening being entertained at the house of the Colonel commanding the forces on the Island.
The only ship burned since leaving Brest is the Avon, 2,000 tons, bound to Cork from the Chincha Islands, leaded with guano.
The discipline on board is like that of a man-of-war.
Her complement is 120 men and 18 officers.
All live well, clothe well, and feed well.
Oysters, turkeys, and
A Graphic picture of a distinguished military group.
--The Columbia Carolinian has been favored with the following extract from a letter written by an officer in Johnston's army to his father in that city.
It has additional interest just now in the lamented death of one of the prominent figures of the picture — that of the Christian warrior, Lieut Gen. Polk:
While at Cassville I saw a picture worthy of the brush of Vandyse.
Gen. Johnston's quarters were in an open woods.
He formed the centre of a group of officers immediately recognized.
His hat was off, showing the magnificent proportions of his head and in his hand he held a map. Opposite to him, and holding one corner of the map, was that fine looking soldier and gentleman, Lieut Gen. Polk; and on Folk's left, also holding and examining the map, stood a General of renowned reputation.
His small gray eyes, sharp features, and earnest look, proclaimed Cleburne.
Bending over the map, and wearing a black fur hat, looped
From Georgia.
"Personnel," the correspondent of the Columbia.
Carolinian, writes an account on the 20th of the fight which took place on that day"the first of the series of attacks commenced by General Hood after taking command:
Riding along our lines last evening, I found the men busy in building entrenchments after their own notions, and preparing for the battle which appeared about to burst.
Some of the commands, more nice than others, had even erected bowers of leaves above the works as a shield from sun and rain.
Skirmishing was audible in the distance, while from the extreme left the heavy booms of artillery proclaimed a duel between two rival batteries.
The movements of this morning have been in a measure significant of the events about to follow.
At daylight, the enemy commenced pressing our cavalry on the light, now covering the Augusta and Atlanta Railroad, several miles of which they destroyed.
Heavy skirmishing ensued, during which the enemy planted a batt
The "Siege" of Atlanta.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Columbia Carolinian, "Personnel, " gives the following intelligible summary of the operations near there the ten days preceding the 5th instant:
I will pass over the raids of Stoneman and McCook, both of which have, fortunately, come to grief, with their commands broken up and scattered, and their principal leader safely housed within the hospitable gates of Camp Oglethorpe, where I saw him a few days since, looking the personation of object misery and despair.
He was formerly General Hood's captain in the Second United States cavalry, and afterwards served upon the staff of General Hood in California, and was quite a favorite with the officers of the old army.
The damage done to the Macon and Western road was insignificant, and was speedily repaired, and once more we are in communication with the outer world, from which we have been for a time cut off. That to the West Point and Montgomery road was far greater

Affairs in Georgia.
The correspondent of the Columbia Carolinian writes from Griffin thus:
I have been enabled to learn a great deal of information from Sherman's army around Atlanta, and the events that have occurred in the rear during the past two weeks. These men were captured in the unfortunate battle of Jonesboro', were taken to Atlanta, and as soon as transportation could be procured, were transferred to the Chattanooga barracks.
Remaining there eight or ten days, they were taken to Nashville, where they only remained a single night before being ordered back for exchange.
At Dalton they saw the first regiment of negro soldiers belonging to the army of General Sherman.
They were garrisoning a fort, and took special pains to crowd around the cars and tell our men "that they were the boys who whipped Wheeler" when he made his attack upon that place.
At Chattanooga are the whole, and a portion of a third brigade of these dusky warriors.
They patrol the streets,
Returned to duty.
--A correspondent of the Columbia Carolinian, writing from Asheville, North Carolina, relates an uncommon occurrence as follows:
"A certain captain of Kirk's tory command was a lieutenant in one of the South Carolina regiments, in 1862, but, being cashiered, raised a company and joined the enemy.
He came in a few days ago with one hundred men, reported to Colonel Palmer for duty, and is now said to be doing good service, slaying bushwhackers right and left."
From Wilmington.
The Raleigh State Journal contains numerous extracts from the Herald of the Union, a paper started since the occupation of Wilmington by the Federals, dated March 2d. It is printed with the material of the Carolinian, but no name appears.
Among the advertisements is a card from O. S. Baldwin, Broadway, New York, to his former patrons at Wilmington, etc., and an appeal from George Myers in behalf of the Union prisoners returning through Wilmington.
General Orders No. 1 announce that General J. M. Schofield assumes command of the District of North Carolina, headquarters in the field.
Other general orders announce the appointment of provost-marshals, post commanders, etc.
Special Orders No. 18 assign Brigadier-General Joseph R. Hawley to the command of the District of Wilmington, "which will embrace all the territory under military control in rear of the army operating from Cape Fear river as a base.
General Hawley will be responsible for the protection
Graphic picture of a Sacked city.
A correspondent of the Charlotte Carolinian, writing from Columbia, gives a graphic picture of the destruction of that city.
He says:
General Sherman entered about midday, accompanied by one Bergholtz (who formerly lived in Columbia, and was employed by Hon. G. A. Trenholm in laying out the grounds around his mansion.
Notwithstanding the many tokens of kindness he had received, the villain was afterwards instrumental in laying the house in ashes). Guards were placed around many of the dwellings, but without avail.
As if by preconcerted action, robbery immediately commenced, and was continued until the enemy left.--Words would fail to describe the frequent indignities and the brutality of the wretches who offered them.--No house was safe from their pollution, no hiding-place secure from their search.
The chamber of the sick and the sanctity of the church were nothing.
Rev. Dr. Shand was robbed of his communion service in the street.
