ANNIVERSARY OF THE BURNING OF CoLUHB1A.-
Yesterday was the anniversary Of the burning Of
Columbia by order Of Gen. SHERMAN. That beau
tful city was in one day deprived Of its fairest
ornaments, and the streets converted into q
blackened and RUNE waste. The confagraion
was 80 extensive, and the results 80 disastrous,
that Columbia acquired the soubriquet of the
chimney city from the number Of these monu-
ments of an invaders triumph that were left
standing. The Columbia Phaaar and the Caro-
linian both notice the return Of this melancholy
occasion, the former paper being draped in
mourning, while the CaroIinian has simply q
tablet, inscribed with the name Of the hero of the
burning.
The CITY RArRoAD.-Three new cars, intended
for this road arrived on the last trip Of the Soude
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 still;
increased, and the receipts we're even larger than
when only four cars were employed. In order to
accommodate the public who have shown such a
preference for this style of travel, the Company
have determined to make change, and on We'd
nesday the larger cars will be put on the Rutledge
street line, and Their places be supplied by those
formerly or that route. As the season advances,
the amount Of travel done on this road will be
much larger, and it WI be found that iarther ad-
dtions Will be necessary to accommodate the pas
sengers. By the proposed arrangement, the cars
will leave every ten minutes, and when the new
turnouts are completed there will be no danger of
collision, but they will pass each other with the
regularity Of clock work.
MAYtR's CouRT, February 16.--A female with a
large head and particularly small sun-dovna, who
got tight and jumped into .: carriage which the
driver could not get her out Of without stopping |
at the Guard Rouse and obtaining the assistance
of the s'force," Was fined 50.
Another female from s1a belle France" who
denied that she had been drinking anything, bu:
did not deny that she was using language in the
street that shocking to many Of the neighbors,
though they didn't understand French, was made
to pay So for her proficiency in the different
tongues.
Bacchanalian veteran, who was up for the one
and twentieth time, and who begged very hard fr
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 fell, and making great promises
of amendment, was fined only 50 as an experiment.
Two other men, who had gone to bed in the
street, so as to have clear view of the moonlight,
were fined IS each for tripping up several star
gazers.
The "Henry Thomas" black boy, mentioned
in our report on Saturday last, We hope will not bo
mistaken for Henry G. Thomas, young man of
light complexion, and Of most excellent character.
ST. M1oHAEL's CHmEs-The safe arrival OF the
Gladstone in the of6ng was announced. some days
since, and the community are now an1iously e1-
pecting the receipt Of the bells. The vessel, we
learn, is anchored off the wharves. The past
history Of st. Michael's bells is well
known; they are old travellers, having crossed the
Atlantic FIVE times, and it is proper that their re-
appearance among us should be received with
proper ovation. o
Their second birth demands christening, and
th4re are none more able to act the part Of spon-
sors than our gallant firemen. It has been propos-
ed that the bells be met on the wharf and escorted
to the Church by the Fire Department. the date of
their reception be made . gala day, and that the
citizens should unite in giving the chimes recep-
ton worthy Of their past career and valuable SER
vices. As the Yestry and the fremen are the par
ties most interested in the restoration Of the
bells, they should see that they treated with be-
coming reverence, and the ceremony of raising
them to their old resting place be performed with
Eecoming pomp and display.
The bells have been sent out with all the appa-
ratus necessary for their jcstment in the stee-
pie, the pieces are each marked, and there will be
no difficulty in arranging the. proper positions.
Their glad notes Will now soon be heard, and the
time is not far distant when the old clock viii re-;
cover it's voice and again tell the world the time of
