Among the goods sent there were valuable carpets, tons of old Madeira, silverware, and furniture.
I am afraid much of these goods fell into the hands of our troops.
There was found at Columbia a large amount of powder, some artillery, small-arms and fixed ammunition.

These, of course were among the articles destroyed.

While here, Sherman also learned of Johnston's restoration to command.

The latter was given, as already stated, all troops in North and South Carolina.

After the completion of the destruction of public property about Columbia, Sherman proceeded on his march and reached Cheraw without any special opposition and without incident to relate.
