Nearly every house all over the country was fed on the flames of Yankee vengeance. When their houses were burnt, the proud chivalry were obliged to seek refuge in negro shanties an awful condescension, but scores of them ha ye had their pride thus broken. To some, it may have seemed relentless barbarism to burn and devastate a country in the manner in which Carolina was served, but when they remember she was the main actor in the rebellion, fired the first gun, and led her sister States into a ...fratricidal war, and, moreover, prided herself in such acts of inhu manity, who then can pity her, or sympathize with her ? She dared not ask sympathy, for multitudes of slain patriots answered, No sympathy for the veno mous Carolina ! There was no time in the day when looking around you there might not be seen liquid flames of fire lifting themselves in mad waves above the beautiful mansion, gin or fences ; and even the hills and valleys for miles around were blue with smoke. These were truly the smoky days of Carolina!
