Th city was gnyly decorated through oi -?and the citizens of Columbia did tlie utmost to tnake the occasion, one woi thy of the venerated heroes of the lo: cause and nobly did they succeed. Tli meetings were held in the big new thei tre and great were the crowds at ever meeting. The city, the visitors an the truests all seemed to catch the ii spiral ion of the gatherihg. Too much cannot be said in praise? the lavish hospitality of Columbian Sufllcient is it to say, that this ocea ion has endeared our capital city i the hearts of a countless number < Carolina's citizens.
