LOCAL ITEMS.
Goss& Wrrn OUR FRIENDS.--I am just from
an eating house dinner ; and if my style is stronger
thin common, put it down' to the batter. It is
snowing and storming fearfully. I saw a line of
ifreet care, as far as my eye could reach, blocked
.aptly the scow. A Doctor's horse has a - poor
• chance in the country, but in the city Heaven help
the car and omnibus horses! It is three o'clock,
"pod at the window I can just manage to see, and
:no more. Business is at a stand-still, waiting for
*peace or war, (no matter which-1. e. so far as
New York is concerned.) Reminding one of Betsy
and the Bear. If no one, of the REPOSITORY
readers has ever heard thie story, I will tell it in
'etzi next. If is bard on business to Mice no fixed
value, making legitimate business too much of a
speenlation. . Dear me, heti it storms; suppose
we go outside and see what is going on. Neil
seeming ; Well I did go out With a vengeance,
and am only too glad that I am in. Started up
Broadway, and plashed along with sogey feet to
the St. Nicholas, where I learned the interesting
fact that gold was 213; then on I went to the
Metropolitan, where I loafed for an hour; after
that, sauntered into the Broadway to see John
Owens as Phill Pry. Got the worth of my mo
ney,and left, but Jerusalem what,weathert
There was an alarm of fire, two steam engines
were racing past, abLeeu omnibuses were
choked on both sid*f the way, a lot of carriages
were mixed up apparently extricably, firemen
and drivers cursing and shouting, "Hi, Hi, get
up, go long, and clear the way there," made a
Babel, while the snow, and rain, and wind made
the view absolutely frightful. The slush was
about four inches deep on the side-walk, while
the street was half knee deep in places. Almost
on the instant.. of my exit from the bright room,
my umbrella wad turned inside out, and with a
fiendish dash the needle-pointed sleet dashed into
mrimprotected face. I seized a moment to glance
around to see whether there were any as unfor
tunate-as myself, and saw three ladies just like
my umbrella. This was some . comfort, enough at
least to enable me to wade to my Hotel,ms wet
as 'later could make one, chilled' to the very
heart. "God help the sailors on our coast!" I
could not help ejaculating as I entered' the Hotel.
Hurried to bed, hung up my steaming clothes, to
find them just as wet next morning as when ta
ken off; and now have the "sniffles" most aboiii
suably. Today I hare scarcely ventured out of
the house, the walking is so abominable. Met a
gentlemen just from the Pennsylvania oil regions,
who reports the Mud so deep that it is quite com
mon to see a hat moving along on the surface,
representing a man on horseback beneath. Had
the good fortune to encounter at my hotel an itin
erant poet who, for twenty-five cents currency,
sold me the following:

He was an Improvisatore, and wrote it for me,
giving rue the right to suggest the subject. I wish
I bad requestakim to write about oil.
The oil fever is gaining ground here ; and it is
*workable that at The same time the cases of
small-pox are decreasing. A friend has just drop
ped in to see me; saying that he had paid a visit
this morning to the stock exchange, having been
introduced - (as is necessary) by a member of the
bo * ard. He gave a very indistinct account of his
• visit,..but if it is half as bad there as . ho describes,
with regard to the, noise, confusion and excite
ment, it mast be a perfect Bedlam. All shouting
together, yelling in concert, with open mouths
and outstretched arms. Truly, the Bulls and
pears are a sweet set! Every one is talking of
- the enlistment frauds; a very interesting item of
gossip, taking into consideration that New York
will ks's to raise -some 20,000 more men than
she has calculated upon.
Paid a visit this day to the establishment of
Mr. W. H. Dudley, No. 168 and 17;1 Water St.,
where preserved meats and fruits are canned and
bottled for market. It was a curiosity to see the
wholesale manner in which they disposed of thou
sands of pounds of meat and poultry, and hundreds
of barrels of apples and other fruits. While
there, I saw them unload a large wagon load of
mutton, which by next morning will all be can
ned—all but the bones. The cans are made in
the !tune building: Each workman able, on a
pinch, to turn out 500 cans a day. The cans of
meats are boiled, for about four hours, and are
calculated to stand a pressure of 300 pounds of
steam' ` After being taken out of the boiling vat
each one isipmichired, to leave out the air, and
then soldered up tight. Fruits • and berries are
emensed in the boiling water but a half an hour.
About one Imadreiland fifty hands are kept em

smell saved me that expense. Somv time akain

DESERTER RECORD.—The Provost Marshal
intend issuing hi a few days, a pamphlet contain
ing a list of deserters and non-reporting drafted
men of this District from the several drafts of
1863 and 1864. There are doubtless contained
in ‘ this the names of persons whO are in honorable
service but who having taken no pains to show
the fact to the Board of Enrollment, were re
tained ttion the lists, drafted and marked as de.
setters. Such persons or their friends ought to
submit the proper evidence and thereby get pla
ced right on the records of the Provost Marshal.
The genuine, bOnafide deserters, who go west
to do the work whilst the farmer's sons there go
to war, the . skulkers who live upon trees or hr
cwes; should each apply for a copy to, preserve
and hand down to their Children (if the latter
ever consent to own them) as a memento of an
cestral treason and poltroonery. •
• ON FITRLOIIGH.—We received a call last week
from John D. Foster, a graduate, of this office,
now a member of Company Cl, 19th Regiment
Veteran Reserve Corps, who is on a 'visit to his
home in this place. John entered the service in.
the 140th New York, and while in that organiza
tion participated in the battles of Fredericksburg
and Cifancelloraville. On the march to Gettys
burg, being in ill-health, he gave out, and shortly
after was truateerred' to the I;fteran Reserve
corps. Being stationed at Washington in July
last, when that city was besieged by Gen. Early,
he took part in its defence. Re is now doing duty
at Elmira, kuarding rebel prisoners. Al
though John entered the army single, he now re
turns with a mess-mate, having taken unto him
self a rl7O from among the lair daughters of our
National Capital.
DESERTER SHOT.—We learn from the Som
erset Herald that on the night of the 7th inst., an
attempt was made to arrest Henry Pletcher, of
Middle Creek township. Somerset county, who
is a deseiter from the draft The house was sur
rounded by a squad of cavalry, - and admission de
manded. This being refused the door was forced,
when Pletcher leaped from a rear window, and,
attempted to gain a piece' of woods near by. -, He
was repeatedly ordered to halt by one-of theaol
diers, who saw him jump from the window; and
upon persisting in his attempt to escape, was
fired upon, and fell. Upon being carried into the
house it was found he was badly wounded, being
shot through the body. As he was too severely
hurt to be removed a surgeon was sent for, and
he was left with his friend.
WASTIESGXON.—We will again call the atten
tion of our readers to the Lecture by the Rev. Dr.
Conrad, to be delivered this evening, in the Meth
odist church, at 6i o'clock. This lecture was
delivered in Harrisburg two weeks'ago i and the
Telegraph thus closes if long article in review of
it :
"Ire most abstain from any further attempt at sketch
ing this matchless review of the Christian attributes and
career of Washington. With perhaps the exception of
Lce's oration on the oeztasion of the death of Washington,
we regard this lecture (and we are confident that all who
beard it will bear us out in the assertion) as one of the best
expositions of the real character of the Father of his Coun
try, ever written in the same condensed tone by any
American citizen. Nor must Dr. Conrad he permitted to
rest with a single delivery of his lecture. It should here
pealed before as many audiences as possible, as well on
account of the influence it will have on the morality of the
pesiple, as for the patriotism it will encourage in this the
hour of the country's straggles and perils."
ACCtIIENT TOCOL. SPEAR.—WhiIe Col. Spear,
of the lith Cavalry, was riding, with a member
of his statr, near Varena, Va., on Saturday week,'
his horse's feet entered a post hole, causing his
fall, together with that of his rider, upon whom
the animal fell with crushing weight, inflicting it
is feared, intemal injuries of a serious nature. Col.
Spear, in obedience to orders, was about to 're
sume the saddle for stirring operations, and it is
to be,regretted that his services are to be lost
even for a few weeks in that branch of our army,
to which be has aided in giving such enviable ce
lebrity.
THE DRAFT.—The Board of l Enrollment of
this Listrict received last Saturday an _order to
commence the draft on the 2lst inst., Which was
done. We believe only Fulton county was drawn
yesterday, to the number of one hundred and fif
ty, which is the quota of that county with one hun
dred per cent. added. The drawing will be at
onto resumed for such counties and townships as
are making no effort to fill their quotas.,

removed from a blockade-runner to lighten her.
This was brought off, together with some negroes.
The North Carolina planters, and all the men he

The capture of CoMmbia and evactuititui of

CrrY POINT, Va., F,eb. 20.—Hon E M. Stan
ton:—The following paragraphs are extracted
from the Richmond papers of to-day. We now
now that Charleston was evacuated on Tuesday,
and that on Friday the. enemy took posession of
Columbia. It is reported that our forces under
Ctn. Beauregard are moving in the direction of
Charlotte. Official intelligence was received at
the War official last night that Sherman was on
yesterday morning advancing towards and was
near a point Sip the Rail Road leading to Char
lotte and 30 miles north of Columbia. Charlotte
is thronged with refugees Kim Columbia,. who
report that some of Wheeler's cavalry plundered
the city before the evacuation.
Up to Tuesday last lit was uncertain whether
Columbia would come,within the immediate line
of , Shermau's operatiOns, and consequently the
public mind was not prepared for such an early
solution of the question. The government had,
however, just two v.teks ago taken the precau
tion to remoi.u its specie deposited there, amount
' inn to several millions' of dollars, and within the
past few days all of the dies and plates belonging
to the Treasury Department, together with the
supplies of treasury notes on, hand, were safely
conveyed away. The enemy being in possession
of Branchville, Orangeburg and Kingsville, pre
cluded movements on the roads leading to Charles
ton, and an unfortunate accident upon the Char
lotte road, cutting off nearly all the rolling stock
of the road front Columbia, prevented the autho
rities from making use of that avenue to save
other valuable materials in the city.
Large quantities of medical stores belonging to
the government were there, one-half of which
were saved and the rest for want of time and
• transportation were destroyed. The presses vd
fixtures for printing 'Treasury notes of the esfab
lishinent of Evans and Cogswell, and Keating and
Ball, were necessarily abandoned, together' with
the other extensive machinery of these well
known firms. The first named establishment had
202 printing presses and was inquestionably the
largest and best equipped publishing housein the
South.
The enemy's force operating west of Columbia
reached the banks of the Congaree, opposite the
city, on Thursday evening, and threw in a num
ber of shells, to which our batteries responded.
A portion of this column moved up the ever du
ring the night and crossed the Saluda and Broad
rivers, the main tributaries of the Congaree.
which meet near Columbia, a few miles above the
city. During the movement Gen. Beauregard
evacuated the city, and on Friday morning the
enemy entered and took possession without oppo
sition. Our troops were withdrawn to a position
some miles from Colombia, where they remained
yesterday. The enemy's force entering Columbia
consisted of Sherman's main army, a large por
tion of which immediately moved up the Char
lotte road, while auether portion has moved down
in the direction of Charleston. The latter city
has doubtless ere this been evacuated.

last. , G. WerrzeL, Maj. Gen.
NEW FORS , Feb. '2l
Steamer Fulton frions Port Royal and Charles
ton bar of 18th, arrived here this morning. The
purser furnishes UR with the following news:—
Charleston was. evacuated by the enemy on the
night of the 17th, leaving the several fortifications
uninjured—besides 200 guns, which they spiked.
The evactiation was first discovered at Fort Moul
trie on the morning of the 16th, at 10 A. NI. Part
of the troops stationed at James Island crossed
overin boats and took possession of the city with
out opposition. The upper part of the city being
on fire previous to the evacuation, by wlueh 600
bales of cotton were burned, and it is supposed
that before they could subdue it two-thirds of the
city would be destrOyed.
A fearful explosion occurred in the Wilming
ton Railroad dept. , The cause of which was un
known. Several hundred citizens lost their lives.
The building was used by the company, and was
situated in the upper part of the city. Admiral
Dahigren was thei first to run up to the city,
where he arrived. about 2P. 31. Gen. Q. A. Gil
more soon after followed in the steamer W. W.
Colt and had an interview with Gen. Scheminel
fennig. He was the first General officer in the
city. It is supposed that Beauregard evacuated
Charlotte in order to concentrate and give Gen.
Sherman - battle. The remains of two iron clads
were found which the enemy destroyed by blow
ing up previous to the evacuation. Several block
ade runners were expected to run in.
The first flag over Sumpter was raised by Capt.
Bragg, A. D. C. on Gen. Gilmore's staff; having
for a staff an oar and boat hook, lashed together.
The houses in the lower part of the city, were
completely riddled by our shot and shell. The
wealthier part of the population have deserted-the
city, and now all that remain are 'the poorer
classes,. who are suffering for want of food. It
was reported at Hilton Head that the left wing
of Sherman's army had reached Midway, on the
Charleston and Augusta Railroad, and that the
rebels in consequence had evacuated Timneh
vine and fallen back on Orangeburg. A move
ment had been made by - the forces under Gen.
Hatch, which resulted in the capture of six guns,
which the rebels had abandoned. The carriages
had been destroyed..
(Capture of 9etos. Kelly and Crook
A part) of rebels dashed into Cumberland, Md.,
before daylight this morning, and eatried off Gene.
Kelly and Crook. A detaehmelit of cavalry has
beendient in pursuit of the retreating rebels,
