ANNIVERSARY OF TILE BURNING OF COLUMBIA
Yesterday was the anniversary of the burning of
Columbia by order OF Gen. SHERMAN. That beau
tiful city was in one day deprived Of its fairest
ornaments, and the streets converted into q
blackened and ruined waste. The condagration
was so extensive, and the resui;s SO disastrous
that Columbia acqr;-ed the soubriquet Of the
chimney city fron. the number Of these monu-
ments OF an invaders triumph that were left
standing. The Columbia Phanzr and the Caro-
Ahiqn both notice the return Of this melancholy
OCCASION the former paper being draped in
mourning, while the Cdroliaian has simply q
tablet Inscribed with the name Of the hero Of the
burning.
TIE Cry RAuRoAD.-Three new cars, intended
for this road, arrived the last trip Of the Sode
and will be Immediately put in USE The travel
on this road has increased wonderfully and the
Rutledge street route, which at first was thought
would require but cne-horse cars has agreeably
disappointed these expectations. notwithstanding
the recent addition OF another car the travel stu
increased, and the receipts were even larger than
when only four cars were employed. In order to
accommodate the public, who have shown such
preference for this style Of travel, the Company
have determined to make change, and on Wed
nesday the larger will be put on the Rutledge
street hne and their places be supplied by those
formerly on that route. AS the season advances.
the amount of travel done on this road will be
much larger, and it Will be found that further ad-
ditions will be necessary to accommodate the pas-
:sengers. BY the proposed arrangement, the cars
Will leave every ten minutes, and when the new
turnouts completed, there will be no danger, Of
collision, but they will pass each other with the
regularity Of clock work. -rii
MAYORS COURT, February 16.-A female with a

tongues.
A Bacchanalian veteran, who was I'D for the one
and twentieth time, and who begged very hard f;r
pardon, saying that he never drank until he en-
listed in the army, and it was that that was his
ruin, meaning thereby that he never got shot till
he went into the fel1 and making great promises
Of amendment, was fined only So as an experiment

ST. MIcHAn's CEuRs.-The safe arrival OF the
Gladstone in the of6ng was announced some days
since, and the community now anxiously ex-
pecing the receipt Of the bells. The vessel, we
learn, is anchored off the wharves. The past
history Of st. Michseps bells is well
known; they old travellers. having crossed the
Atlantic five times, and it is proper that their re-
appearance among us should be received with
proper ovation. Nd
Their second birth demands christening, and
there are none more able to act the part Of spon-
sors than our gallant fremen. It has been propos-
ed that the bells be met on the wharf and escorted
20 the Church by the Fire Department, the date Of
theI reception be made gala day, and that the
citizens should unite in giving the chimes recep-
tion worthy OF their past and valuable SER
vices. AS the Vestry and the fremen are the par
ties most interested in the restoration Of the
bells, they should that they are treated with be-
coming reverence, and the. ceremony Of raising
them to TIER old resting place be performed with
becoming pomp and display.
The bells have been sent out with all the appa-
ratus necessary for their adj 1stment In the stee-
pie, the pieces are each marked, and there will be
no difficulty in arranging their proper positions
Their glad notes will now soon be heard, aud the
time is not far distant when the old clock will re-
cover its voice and again tell the world the time Of
