VRUg*AY MO We a'.indOted.j -a: 1AiUO3R, of the 25th 0. V. V. I., ap 'tain commanding post, for t'copy of the Columibia Plunix of the 13th inst. Arrival of . & torba. Yesterday, two covopaiaies, number ing 122 men, of the 25th Regiment, Ohio Veteran Volunteer Tifantry,-un der command of Capt. B. McCoN, NAUGeY, reached our town for the pur pose of garrisoning, carrying out order &c. In reference to the troops 'who are amoogst us, a friend, writing from Co lumbia, says of the6m: "The men. you are to have in. your midst are of the right stamp-kird, cour teous and dbliging. They dio every - thing'in their power to see that the citi zen gets his rights. The Columbians ate very much attached to them, owing - to their faithfklness" The Towvn Hall has been turned over to the command on garrison at this post. The office will-be opened and ready for bsittess this morning at 8 o'clock, 'and we doubt not that 'in all transactions Capt. MOCONNAUOUY will be found po. lite and obliging, at least, we are war ranted in saying this inuch from our con versation with the gentleman. The other officets of the command, with whom we have cohversed, seem to 'be perfect gentlemen, and we take the liberty of saying to our citisens that in all their dealings with the Provost Guard, they need feel no- apprehension of uncivility being shown them. Rumors. It is rmaored upon our streets, said rmors brought down from above as -rumor, .that the Hon. W. W. BoYCE has been appointed by President JOHN soN a& Pfovisional Governor for South OliWa. Whether this is so or not wye caant say. Time alone wiftell. . Another report is to the effect that Janaspn Dvis dead"-4hat he died from the effects of rheumatism. this also lacks co'nfitoiation. We learn fron Capt. MCQONNAUGNY that two companies of the 25th 0, V. V. I. left Columbia yesterday, bound fh Camden, for the purpose of garrison. ing that place. The Captain tells us that there are yet remaining in Colum. bin six companies of his regiment. Another Now Store. Messrs. Eraaorr & Co. haVe oppned, as our advertising columns gave notice day before yesterday, at No. 4, Bank Range, with a choice selected stock of dry goods, groceries, &c. The advertisement to-day gities an idea of some of the articles-bn hand. It will be seen that the ilies, as well aas the gentlemen, can .be supplied with things use ful as vaell amornamental.

The Washington correspondent of, the Ne* York Herald says that an or dter has been issued by President JoHN sON 4isoliarging all rebel prisoners of war below the rank of Major, upon their taking the oath of allegiance-to khe Uni. ted States Government. - The New York Herald says, under date of Fortress Monroe, Jino 4, that the steamer -Starlight had arrived from Hilton Head with A. G.'MAORATaH, ex Governor of South Carolina, en route to Washington, under arrest. ' The Washington correspondent of the Herald, writing under date of June 5, says that a threatening letter was seub to the. President a day or two since from an insane Frenchman, *ho labors'under the delusion, among oth'ers, that the Government oives him one hundred-and fifty thousand dollars and that if he. is not paid by the 16th inst., he proposes to take the matter in his owti hands and obtain revenge. Although.not directly stating his intentions to assassinate ' the President, such 'Is the inference- from the tenor of his communication. Ite has, been properly disposed of. The Alabama delegation has had an interview with Presideit JOHNSoN. Signifleant... We copy form the New York Herald of the 6th inst., the' following very sig. nificant paragraph : TExa A ' Ap Maxxr-o..-Having learn. ed that a considerable force: of Union soldiers-twenty or thirty thousand men -is to be detailed for' the pacification and reorganization of the great Sitate of Texas, the French Minister at Washinp ton, the Count Monthqlone it is.said, -will. demand an explanation of-Mr. Seward. Mexico is so. very covenient to Texas that some of, these. Union. troops rMay,. perhape, get on the wrong side of the river,'and give some trouble' to Maxi milian. Hence Mr. Seward will, per. hape, be required to make, au explana. ton. Very well., He will explain-he is always ready to explain; but still we apprehend that the climate of Mexico is getting unhealthy to Austrians and Frenchmen.
