The Committee on Market reported the report of the Clerk of the Mar? ket for the month of February as being correct. Concurred in. The following report of a special committee was presented: To 7iis lin,,',,'the "Mayor and Aldermen of flo- Cit./ ,f Columbia. GENTLEMEN: The special commit? tee who was appointed by your ho? norable body to act in connection with ;i committee of firemen, for the purpose of extending the hospitalities of the city to the committee of fire? men from Now York, would respect? fully report: That they have dis? charged the linty assigned them, and have carried ont, tts near as circum? stances would permit, the programme as given yon at a former meeting. Your committee are proud to say that their efforts have met not only with the approbation of the firemen of the city, but al&o that of our guests. We trust that these acts of kindness and hospitality .narks the new era in the history of our common country, und l will be the means of subduing the k elements ol strife and disorder which $ at present distract the two sections. lt is ?i matter of regret that our cha? ritable neighbors from New York were not permitted the pleasure of presenting those substantial proofs ol their kindness and sympathy, yet we feel proud cd' the sentiments which prompted them to leave their com? fortable homes to mingle their sym? pathies with ours, in the midst of our ashes of desolation; and we look for? ward to a day, not far distant, when they will be permitted again to min? gle with us, and furnish those evi? dences of their regard which were denied thom on this occasion. Your c<fcmitt?H have done every? thing in ^ir power to be as eco nomica? .-.s possible, commensurate with the important charge committed to them, "mil notwithstanding their efforts, thej have been nimble to keep within the appropriation made by you for this purpose. By reference to the annexed state? ment, you will perceive that the ex? penses ol' the committee have excell? ed the appropriation of ?300 made by your body, to the amount of $74.75, and as your committee have endeavored to carry out your ideas in extending the hospitalities id' thc city to these friends, and the amount being small, your committee would respectfully ask a further appropria? tion of 87-1.75, to enable them to dis? charge the habilitier; of the commit tee. Respectfully submitted. D. r. MCDONALD, JNO. ALEXANDER, AV. T. WALTER, Committee. The above report of the specia committee was received and adopted The following resolutions were of fered and adopted: Ry Alderman Walter: Resolved, That the Committee oi Streets be authorized to inquire upoi what terms they can settle with Pal mette Rodge No. 5, for damage: done the property of thc Loilgi whilst in possession ol' the, city. By Alderman McDonald: Resolved, That Alderman Td.-KIMI zie be requested to correspond witl Messrs. Craig A.- Tuomey, ot' Charles ton, in reference to live hun drei feet of hose which they, recent!; had, and that he be authorized b; the City Council ol' Columbia to pm chase the said hose t'?-. un them. On motion. Council adjourned. J. S. McMAUON, City Clerk. -< ^ ? ? The Lynchburg (Va.) Rep?blica says that "a Federal officer belong ing to the garrison of this plac< was met, a few days ago, while ridin about the suburbs, by a rusty lool ing specimen, who came forwar and offered to 'surrender.' Th officer asked it' he had killed nut body, or done any mischief of an kind. The specimen said he ha deserted the Confederate army i 18G1, but had heard of Gen. Lee amnesty proclamation while hidin about in the mountains, and ha come forward to give himself nj and be returned to service, (ire: surprise and consternation seize upon the specimen when he learnt that there was now no Souther army, no Si mt horn cause, and th; all the battle-flags had been foldc and put aside. The specimen Wi treated to a dose of amnesty oa1 and a pair of blue breeches, at went on his way rejoicing, to Nor! Carolina, in which 'district' was h home when he left it six years ago THE SOUTHERN STATES.-The Ne York Herald says: "Our letters from the South rela almost entirely to the political situ tion under thc reconstruction law Virginia, South Carolina and Loni? ana. In Virginia, th? military ru has already been declared suprem but the fact of civil law being ab lished is hardly apparent. Tn Charle ton, thc revolution is accepted wi apathy, no one except the tire-eatii politicians seeming to take thc matt much to heart, lu Louisiana, Oe Sheridan's order, postponing the Ni Orleans municipal election, was ; ceded to without disturbance. T impeachment resolutions relative Governor Wells were referred to special committee of nine." DEATH OF AN ANCIENT NEGRESS. "Aunt Winnie," lately tin' propel of Col. J. W.

LIFE IN OHIO.-Things seem to be improving in Ohio. The following appears in the papers from that di? rection : In "Mansfield, Ohio, on tho evening of the 6th instant, a public meeting was held, and a vigilance committee organized, for the purpose of ridding the place ol' a swarm of lior.se thieves, : pickpockets and plunderers of every j grade, who have hoon preying upon tho community, and who have; suc? ceeded in evading punishment at the I hands of the courts. A number of arrests were promptly made, and on ? the 7th, at another meeting, the j scoundrels were brought and exhibit ] ed to the citizens, after having their j photographs taken in the rogues' j gallery. Afterwards, seven of them were escorted to tho depot, and com? pelled to depart on the train, with the assurance of hanging if they should return. The citizens resolved , to sustain tho regulators, and notice ? has been given to all oilier disreputa ! ble characters lo leave at once. A j proclamation has been issued, warn ! ing persons against harboring or I abetting this class of people, as thc committee will not hesitate to deed 1 with them as they deserve, LET THE SOUTH BEWARE.-One- of , the iirst objects hoped to be accoin ' pl ?shed by the recent military recon ! structiou bill, is a division of the peo? ple of the .South into parties in \ relation to il. The New York Even? ing Post thus states the case: '.Thc movements for r?construc \ tion under thc Act of Congress will I produce ono very much needed re? sult-they will divide tho Southern \ people into parties once moro. There \ mast henceforth be two political . parlies tin rc, as there arc and always have been in tho Northern States: and by means of the negro vote. 1 these two parties will bc in every ; State so nearly balanced in strength , that each will have to respect thc i other's rights, and each \vi~j be able to insist upon its own rights. Tins ; once done, the Southern States must j inevitably and quickly advance in j liberal sentiments and in love of ? country-for it needs only free dis i cussion-thorough discussion-to en? able the people everywhere to soc tho right, to recognize their best inte? rests, and to lead thom to evist away thc false leaders whose stupid blun? ders and criminal ambition brought such ruin upon the Southern States." Generals Fullerton and Hairline ("Miles O'Reilly) were before thc Ju? diciary Committee on Saturday, in obedience to subpoenas. The former was examined as to the restoration of property to the Southern rebels and his official action in connection with the Freedmen's Bureau. He will be further interrogated on "Monday. Private Miles O'Reilly was overhauled about his "talk with the President" and his account of Presidential views on repudiation. Thc "boy," says the Herald, had his back up, and gave answers not required nor relished by thc Committee. This Testimony was altogether in favor of the President, aud repudiated the soft impeachment of repudiation. If he had caused thc impression that Mr. Johnson favored repudiation, all he could say i was that he had been unfortunate in j the use of language, and Unit nothing j was farther from his intention. I WATEK MARKS.-Nearly every bujsi i ness place in town has now upon or I in it a mark showing the height to j which the waters came during the recent Hood. Wc give a few of them. In the post office, corner Market and ! Fifth streets, the water was live feet eight inches above the door. In the lower story of the American Union office, between Seventh and Eighth I streets, there was seven feet eight ! inches water. In thc Union Piis ! sengor Depot, the water was ten feet I six inches deep. It was eleven feet i?cep in 'ne Southern Express Office and in thc dining room of the Crutch field House if was eleven feet seven linches. Mr. Elijah Thurman made a j water mark showing the height of the flood of 1.S-A7, and another of the late Hood, and says the last was fifteen feet six inches higher than in 18-17. \Cliailanooga Union, ll.'//. RELIEF. -The Savannah Republican has the following paragraph: j This equinoctial North-easter now i blowing, will bring to our port, in a ; few days, the United States steamship Memphis, with 0,500 bushels of corn, a peace offering from the Southern Belief Association of the North to : the destitute of thc State of Georgia. If we know thc feeling of Georgia, a dove with an olive branch, telling of I storm passed, would not bc more : welcome. A few may sneer-many I bc inclined to thrust this messenger j of charity away-but the great heart i of the people will beat with feelings j too big for utterance in words of i gratitude.

Dec ll ly j SPREAD THE TRUTH- Some niedi 1 cai men insist that it is undignified to ad-1 ; vcrtise a rem? dy, however valuable it maj' i j ho. Queer reasoning this. It is like sa.. - : . ing that an article which the world needs should be hid in a corner-that benefits and blessings may be too widely diffused- ! i that the means of protecting and restoring ? health should be a close monopoly, and i not accessible to all. The argument is j bad. It is worse than that-it is inhuman. Suppose HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT?

Tia re is thc highest authority for saying that light should not bc hid under a bushel; that whatever is excellent should be placed as a city on hill, where all men can take cognizance of it. i: is upon tins principle that the BIT?
