THE New STATE HOUSE AND GES. JONES'
The Editor of the Winnsboro Register, who has
recently been on visit to Columbia, says:
"While in Columbia We visited the State
House, now in the course of construction. The
work progresses slowly, as might reasonably be
expected in an undertaking of such stupendous
masuitude but this much must be saa tast SO So
a manner that would make it u monument for
eternity to gaze at A friend of ours, who was
contemplating its probable durability, remarked
that, if the last day, when the heavens should
come together as scroll and every thing be
lost in the wreck of worlds, happened in his day,
this would be the place where he would take
refuge, for he thoug if any one thing resisted
the general destruction it would be this State
House. Gen. Jones is indefatigable. in his at
tention. and is always to be seen ut his post Su-
ner;ntendinp the work. We do not think the
Legislature could have selected a more suitable
person for this position"
