A SUGGEsTIoS.-Thc attention OF our
readers is called to tho subjoined commit
nication. The matter suggested is we'll
worthy OF conSl;!r. l,lon. and appeals to
the bcnevolcnce OF all:
MEssRs. EDIToES: The destruction OF
300 houses in onr city, BY General Sher-
mans army. is known throughout the
State. 1t may be also known to all, that
this great calamity has left many houseless
and destitute OF the actual necessaries of
life. 1t is truc, that tho devastations of
war arc felt Ill all parts OF the State, but
IN some portions not to the same extent as
Columbia that the foot-marks of the de-
stroyer are seen in all their horrors and
desolation. Winter is on us. There is no
poor house ready for the reception OF the
poor.
1t is not to be expected that the people
OF Columbia, in their presont condition,
can do much in support of their more
needy feilow-citizens, but there are many
! IN different portions Of the State that
would aid us, il an organization could be
formed here and snperintended by men of
known character and integrity. If our
people will meet and take counsel together,
such an organization can be effected.
We respectfully suggest, therefore, that
our citizens meet at the store of the Hon.
Mayor, j. G. Gihbes, on Thursday next,
the 14th inst, TT IL O'Clock ~, to take
into consideration such course of action
