In assuming that Columbia will become the Confederate C.ty, we may be wide of the mark; but tljere is reason and justice in the assumption, and we h ^>po it will be realized. It is a sickly objection, that we I are to become corrupted as a State by the establishment of the Confederate Capital amongst lis. It insults the moral firmness and enlightened advancement of d?ir pno ple-^mvay with il. Let Columbia put in her claims to litis high distinction, and mnor.g these claims she may well point to tho mugnifi ent granite structure which e uld so soon bo prepared for occupancy. I Couid the Congressmen of the Confederacy see it for themselves, thy would say at once that there was force in the claim, backed ns it is by so many Arguments of convenience nod propriety. And then there are ?uch vast granite facilities for all other rcquisito Government buildings, and the arrangements are all 111 workini? order to reach these facilties; what nn opportunity for the new Confederacy.
