Mqsonic.-We understand that the
Grand Master of Freemasous of South
Carolina, has just granted dispensalion
10 some Of The officers OF the Palmetto
Regiment of Volunteers, to hold a trav
elling lodge in lha, regiment, during its
time of service in Mexico, the great mum
ber Of Freen1asons in the, regiment ma.
king such measure highly convenient to
these patriotic brethren of the mystic tye.'
Lodges of this kind are, we are informed
by no means unusual in the Masonic fam
lily. Many regiments in the British and
other European armies are supplied with
them aud such was also the case during
tie revolutionary war,among The Ameri-
can troops. III has also been slated to US
upon The good authority and it may in;e-
rest our Masonic readers to know, that one
of The lodges working in this city derives
its existence from a. travelling warrant
erau'ed to a regiment in the army Of the
Duke of Marlborough in Flanders, a cen
Jury aud half ago. Some Of the officers
holding the warrant come over to This
counlry and permanently located the
lodge in this city. where il has ever since
remained. -Erening Nears.
