ing we were informed that Gen. Jones, and his
amiable wife, accompanied by some twenty
Young men, who have been battling for the South
and ihe rights Of her sons in Kansas, passed
through this city by Railroad on their return to

Several gentleman, who were present on their
arrival in Columbia, speak of the party as war

In conversation with some of them they spoke
freely of the motherly care, un,iring attention
and incessan, toll of MIS-. Jones, who watched
as with mothers eye those who had received
wounds or were aboring under bodily af1liciion.
Long may she live as an example for The daugh.
ters Of Carolina, and enjoy that repose which
she for time voluntarily resigned in order to
be near to her brave and patriot husband.
We regret that Gen. Jones and his noble band
passed through Columbia SO rapidly as TO pre-
clude arrangements for 4 suitable reception.
which would have afforded great plasurc to the

FIVE INDICTMENTS FOR MURDER AGAINST

formation that the late Grand Jury, in ses-

who is now in Jail in that county; one for
the murder Of Isaac Il. Wall, one for the
murder of Thomas Williamson, one for the
murder of Charles de la Tore, one for the
murder of Charles Dayton, and the fifth for
the murder of an Indian; there is also an
indictment against him for the murder Of

SNAGGING.-The steamer Gazele, which
was dispatched by the Steam Navigation
Company, on the 9TH Of November last, to
explore Feather river and remove snags,
with the view Of opening that stream
to the navigation of steamers to Orovlle,
returned ON Tuesday evening. She proceed
ell to a point within about fifteen miles Of
Orovlle where an attempt was made to
proceed further, but the water being but
about one foot in depth, and the stream be-
ing mnch more shallow beyond, rendering
the success of their efforts impractcable at
the present stage of water, they were COM
PEELED to return The least water found
previously, was thirteen inches. We are in
formed that the boat could have been pushed
further by building wing dam, but not
without entailing an expense that would
have been unwarrantnble at present. They
found the navigation, all through, very
much obsiructed by snags, which were sue
cessfully removed - URi0n.
