religion of the Redeemer that lightens the

influence, do the storms rage aud the winds

considerations respecting the expansion of mer

a still more precarious suppositcn, namely,
the greatest cold observed in Iceand which
was probably assumed to be tn, lowest natural

at 32xlS0=2l2. It. must be admitted that

uaIIness of the divisions, is not well adapted

The Old and New State Houses.

The work of removing tile old State Capi

perfect safety, il approaches its destined loca
ton. Not q beam. or plank has been started

The new Capitol is beginning to make some
show. The work of construction progresses
satisfactorily. The building of so vast pile
must necessarily require long time. There
is an immense amount of work, too, to be done.

feeling of just pride in tine bosom ofevery man
in South Carolina, and will reflect enduring
fame upon MIR. HammerskoId, the accomplish
ed architect
1t is thousand times to be regretted that
the Legislature did not order its location in
front Of the old Capitol, across Richardson
street and facing North. If it had been thus
located, it would have commanded splendid
view of the surrounding country, and been
"the observed of all observers" from every
point. And then by enclosing under one fence
the square on which it now stands and the
square East Of it, thus making an area of eight
square acres, and adorning the whole with
suitable trees and shrubbery, the Capitol
grounds could have been converted into one of
the most magnificent public squares in the Uni.
ted States. Itis, however, too late to remedy
the bunder, and to spend unavailing regrets
over the matter were altogether bootless. Sit
uated as it is, the Capitol and the surrounding
grounds may be made very attractive. The
completion of the superstructure will be an
era in the history of Columbia and the State,
