NIcKERsoH,s HOTEL.

An advertisement of this capital hotel announces
that persons arriviDgi in Columbia will be conveyed
to and from the Depots free Of charge, baggage and
all. 1t affords US pleasure to recommend Mr..
N1cKEnsoN and his hotel to the patronage Of the
public. Ever kind, accommodating and liberal,
he is by nature qualified to keep hotel, while his
clever and whole-souled assistant, Bob HAMILTON,
has no superior as an obliging and competent
clerk. Having recently observed the regulations
and conduct of this House, we are more than
pleased in recommending the same to our friends
who may visit Columbia during the coming fall and
winter

THE MURDER OF KELLY.

The Coroner's jury mentioned last week as in
ves:igating the murder of United States soldier
by the name of KELLY, came to the conclusion that
"the said CHARLES KELLY camo to his death du-
ring the night of Monday the 18th inst, and at q

Anderson to Abbeville, from tho effects of mortal
wound inflicted by means of razor in the hands

We learn that the accused BERRY is in the cus-

dered man we're intimate friends, and the deed was
evidently perpetrated to secure money which he
knew his friend possessed.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF SOLDIERS.

1t seems to have been agreed upon, during the
session of the late Philadelphia Convention, that
there will be o National Convention of soldiers,
North and South, held in Cincinnati sometime
next month. Tho leading officers of the Federal
and Confederate armies are said to be active in
this movement, which is intended to advance the
Union cause under the guidance of the present ad-
ministration. Doubtless the best interests of tho
country will be promoted by such an assemblage,
provided political heroes arc excluded. An excess
of this class during the war proved curse to
either section. If tho proposed Convention is
made up of soldiers n The true sense of the word,
we shall heartily endorse the movement. Otherwise
discord and dissonsion will follow.

We copy tho following gratifying information
from tho Abbeville Press of last Friday:
''It affords US much pleasure to announce that o
late despatch from Washington, received by the
Hon. a. Burt, ono of the counsel of Messrs. Stow
ers, Keys and Byrum, states that the recent re-
moval of these prisoners from Charleston was
made without tho knowledge or the sanction of the
President. Upon the matter being brought to his
attention, the President Immediately directed that
an order should be issued for their removal to
Fort Delaware. AS there will hero be no conflict
between tho civil and military Jurisdictions we
may anticipate speedy discharge Of the prisoners
on hc5cas corpus. We are glad to see that the
facts of the case thus entirely viudicae the char
acler of the President and relieve him from any
imputaton of bad faith in the matter, and VIC con-
graulato tho prisoners counsel upon the prospect
of soon realizing in their behalf the success to
which hoir eminent services fully entile thOm."

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

The telegraphic synopsis of the proceedings of
this body will be found upon our first page this
morning. The session was an harmonious one,
and has resulted most satisfactorily to the friends
of President JouNsoNs administration. The op-
ponents of his policy are astonished and abashed
ut the singular unanimity which prevailed, and
certainly tremblc for their unholy cause of crush
ing out the South from participation in the rule
and government of this country. Beyond doubt,
the appeal which will be made to the people carries
with it conviction and conversion to tho policy of
ro-cstablshing the Government upon the basis Of
The Constitution, and the overthrow of the reckless
majority which would pervcrt that instrument to
the bnscst ends of selfish and sectional party.
While rejoicing at the success of this Conven-
tion and heartily wishing prosperity to attend the
efforts of the party organized to defeat the Radl
Gals of the North, there is declaration contained
in the platform laid down by this body to which
we can never subscribe. We mean the resolution
Offering thanks to the Union army for their bravery
and endurance in crushing out the so-called Gre
bellon." 1t may be that we arc unreconstrHcted
as yet, but nevertheless, as an humble soldier OF
tno Wte COHtcueTacy VIZ Ciiuiot iHs'<is s"0 P'''A'
dead and stultify our own voluntary action by re-
turning thanks to the men who assisted in defeat
ing the cause for which we endured and sacrificed
SO much. Others may forget and ignore their
pledges in the past but 10 the extent of the ability
God has given shall we decry any effort to force
an endorsement of this declaration upon the South
ern people Frustrated, humilated, down-trod-
den, and impoverished, let us not be dishonorcd
The blood of our brothers cries out against it.

"Thc Milk i'm the Cocoa-nut.-

Among the bitter denunciators OF the
President, none were more bitter than
the Chicago Republican, whose chief
editor Is Chas. A. Dana. The Republl-
can at FIRST declined to join with its
neighbor, the Chicago Tribune, in call
ing President johnson traitor, but at
length its tone was changed, The milk
in this cocoa-nut is explained by the
following letter, which recently appear
ed in the Washington Republican:
"CmCAao, Jan. 20, 1866.
DEAR SR;-Some of my friends in
the New York Delegation in Congress
want me 10 be Collector of New York,
l shall be glad to have that office, and
accordingly address myself directly to
you. | have been resident of n. Y.
city for nearly twenty years, till few
months since, when came here, on leav-
ing the War Department. / know New
York, it's merchants and its politicians,
but by reason of my connection with
the War Department have been absent
so as to be free from all Identification
controversies by which the Union party
there has been much divided. | believe
that there is no person of any proml-
nence in the party whose appointment
would give greater general satisfaction
than mine, Should you be disposed so
far to entertain the idea as to wish for
information concerning my capacity to
administer the office, there is no one
who can judge better as to that than
Mr.. Stanton. Let me add that | am
myself confident of performing the du-
ties, should they be entrusted to me, to
the advantage Of the public service, and
TO your entire satisfaction.
/ am, with profound respect,
Your faithful servant
CHARLES A. DANA.
To His Excellency, the President"
The Washington Republican says that
this is specimen of large number of
other letters on file, which will hereafter
appear, and which will explain the op-
position to the President on the part of
other politicians.

Local and state Items.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT Is DUE
The Woodstock Standard has recently
copied one Of our editorials and Bran
don communication to our paper, which
its worthy editor very kindly credited to
the Burlington Free Press. We presume
the Editor of the Standard is not at
fault, as he exchanges with our Weekly
only, while it exchanges with the Free
Press Daily, and probably honestly
enough thought that when he saw the
articles in the last named paper as edi-
torial, they originated there.
1t is common practice to take brief
items Of news, &c, without credit; but,
the habit of taking bodily large items
like those to which we refer, is usually
confined to a different class of papers
from the respectable contemporaries
named. There must have been, there
fore, "a mistake somewhere"

CONGRESS AND ITS ADJOURNMENT
The House has fixed by resolution some
Thursday in May for adjournment. The
first of June is thought to be as late as
it will be safe to remain at Washington,
on account of the anticipated arrival of
the cholera. But Congress has much
yet to do before the people will be salts
fed with a final adjournment. Not a
single measure, from the Ways and
Means and Banking committees has yet
been passed, and besides the loan bill,
the internal revenue, tariff and reciproc-
ity, there are the banking laws, several
contested election cases and the various
reconstructive measures, that must be
disposed Of.
