d with General Sherman. Testimony of Dr. Goodwyn before the Investigation Committee. At 11 o'clock A. M. Columbia was in the possession of the Federal forces. The first detachment that entered it formed part of the command of the officer (Colonel Stone) to whom the surrender was made, and belonged to the 15th Corps, of whose work General Sherman had exultingly spoken in his despatch to General Halleck, already given. No sooner had the Federals entered the city than universal pillage began. Stores and private buildings were indiscriminately sacked, and neither check nor restraint was put upon the soldiery by their officers. At about 2 P. M. General Sherman rode in. He also promised protection to the city, as Colonel Stone had previously done. Meanwhile, and, in fact, hours before General Sherman's appearance, open and undisguised warnings were given the inhabitants of the fate awaiting them. Some were cautioned to leave immediately, as, before the next morning, everything
not sufficient means for transportation, it was left in Richardson Street. The Mayor, with a flag of truce, met the leading column of the Federal army, composed of Stone's brigade, and surrendered the city. General Hampton had moved out by the Asylum road, with one of Butler's brigades, and stationed himself at the upper boundary th the main army about two hours later? Answer. Yes, sir. Q. I would like for you to be particular; please try and remember how long it was afterwards? A. Stone's brigade could not have been in town more than an hour and a half before I came in; we came in very quickly; the pontoon-bridge was nearly done when I got this message from Stone, and sent back and told him to go right into town. * * * Q. Wouldn't this be about correct if you were to say that the main army entered Columbia about 12 o'clock? A. Near 11; I suppose nearer 11 than 12 o'clock. Somewhere between 11 and 12. Q. You were riding at the head of the column? A. Yes, sir.
