We of course had to leave here for a time, and, as there are more raids expected, I have concluded to remove a little way into the pine woods until I see whether I can harvest my crop or not. The town was destroyed by a negro regiment officered by white men. They left a book, which I found, and in which the following entry was made, and which I presume is a list of the regimental officers. The writing is in a large, coarse hand, and in pencil. Stewart W.

A National account. St. Simon's Island, Ga., Tuesday, June 16, 1863. When I last wrote we were just leaving Beau. fort, on the eve of an expedition into Secessia. That expedition has been made, was eminently successful and bloodless, but how.far creditable to us, and fruitful in results, I leave you iformly so. We have had nothing here yet hotter than our July's best at home. Thus far I have experienced no great inconvenience from the heat, and am in good health and good spirits day in and day out. * A rebel account. Savannah, June 16, 1863.

hat the city of Darien, one of the oldest towns in the State, the New-Inverness of Oglethorpe's time, has been totally destroyed by Yankee negro forces. We have been kindly permitted to make some extracts from private letters received by one of our citizens, which contain some facts in relation to this crowning act of wanton vandalism on Georgia soil which have not before been published. A citizen of Darien, writing from Dunwoody's Plantation, near where Darien once stood, under date of June twelfth, says: What has been so long threatened has at length come to pass. Darien is now one plain of ashes and blackened chimneys. The accursed Yankee negro vandals came up yesterday with three gunboats and two transports, and laid the city in ruins. There are but three small houses left in the place. The Methodist church was set on fire, but it did not burn. All the other churches, the market-house, court-house, jail and clerk's office are all gone. The villains broke open all the

almy days had some three thousand inhabitants. Now it has not one. The north end of the island forms Pierce Butler's plantation — Fanny Kemble's husband, and the man who had that immense auction sale of negroes several years ago. It is deserted now, save by some dozen or two darkies, once Butler's slaves. Ole massa run away, de darkies stay at home. Truly the Kingdom is coming to these poor blacks. The weather here is warm, and uniformly so. We have had nothing here yet hotter than our July's best at home.
