Our FREMEN GUEsTs.-Early yesterday morn
ing the disastrous tidngs were received OF the
burning Of the Andalusia, and the loss Of both
boat and cargo. Aside from the mournful intclli-
gence Of the loss of valued lives, the object of the
mission was frustrated by the destruction OF the
hose reel intended as present to the Independent
FIRE Company of Columbia Although this nishap
is irreparabc for the present, it was not suffered
to interfere with the proposed programme and the
guests were treated with the same courtesy and
attention that would have been offered them under
more fortunate circumstances:
| At III A. M. the Committee met at the corner OF
| Wentworth an Meeting streets, and arranged the
disposition of the day. At 12 NJ the carriages we're
driven in fron. of The Charleston Hotel, and tho
Committee, with their guests, we're taken to the
City Hall, where they were severally introduced to
the Mayor. Several of the Presidents Of the differ
cnt Fire Companies were present, and united with
the Committee in rendering welcome 10 their
| visitors. 1'ls reception took place in the Mayors
Office and as tho guests entered the room they
were each introduced to the Mayor BY Mr., Ny
THAN. When this ceremony was performed and
the guests had seated themselves, the Mayor vel
conled tueln in short but cordial speech, express
ing his sympathy with their calling and mission
and regret that tho result was frustrated He
said:
Gentlemen: welcome you with pleasure to- tho
city OF Charlest0n; and although regret tho sad
occurrence ,Lav has proyentod YOU from making
the present which you intended, am glad that 1t
has not been OF such nature as to interrupt tic
hospitable festivities in which it is our pleasure to
indulge on this rare occasion;
Mi. WILSON, the President of the New York Fire
Association, in response said:
In behalf Of the New York Volunteer Fremen's
Association, I thank you very much for the cordial
reception, so much beyond our expectations, which
.remen, on mission to our brother fremen Of
Columbia, to show them ittlo attention in testi-
mony If our admiration and brothery love. We
had however, higher and nobler object than the
mere presentation Of testimonial. LII was to e1-
tend to them and to you tue right hand OF fellow
ship and fraterna regard lhope that in the future
We shall be able to give them evan iofs s1bstall-
tial evidence Of our love $rom olT brother tremen
and fellow!countrymen than if our present inteIl-
ton had been carried out. Allow me. again, to
the grateful welcome which we have received.
Tho company then adjourned to tho Council
Chalnber and examined the different paintings and
decorations, but . tray With gohlets socn drew
their attention to spiritual subjects, and the pop
-;"s Of champagne cQrks almost drowned the
sound of conversation. The opening toast was
given by the Mayor, who offered as his aeats'
ment-=
"Firemen- whether from North or South-still
Firemen."
AIr. UPPER, President of the Vigilnnt, in re-
sponse said that as one OF the oldest fremcn pres
ent, he could with propriety answer and reiterate
the Mayor toast with the additional words-::sand
always gentlemen"

tion-Wrlght by narne and occupation"
Mr.. WRIGHT thanked the Charleston fremen for
the grateful manner of their reception and the
kind treatment they had met wibh and assured
them Of good report at their Northern homes.
Mr.. HILTON called on the representative of the
New York press, MIR. EVERETT, who thanked him
for the compliment, and hoped that the bonds now
uniting New York, Charleston and Columbia,
would never be severed.
Mr. DURYEA proposed, rs a closing sentiment
The u7,itu of the .fren,en of Asnerica-A new
feature in o new country, which has established q
bond of brotherhood never to be again broken.
On leaving the Council Chamber the visitors
proceeded to the residence Of Mr.. NJ. H. NATHAN,
tho Chief Of the Charleston Fire Department,
where O. generous collation. had been prepared, and
the morning hours passed quickly away IN the
pleasing occupation known among tho ancients as
ssthe feast of reason and the flow Of SOUL"
As daylight gan to wane, and the evening
shades appeared, the gallant fremen and their
friends gathered in ono of the parlors Of tho
Charleston Hotel, where pleasant social converse
beguilod the hours till dinner was announced.
when the assembled company marched to the OLE
CANT dining hall on the first floor, 10 the music of
Mr.. Mu1IER's powerful band, which discorsed
vigorously during the entire evening.
We had heard that the extras destined for this
dinner had been purchased at New York, and gone
down in the unfortunate AasdaILsia, and wo wero
prepared therefore to see On ordinary banquet
such as Messrs WHITE & MIXER are in the daily
habit of setting before their guests-(not so very
ordinary either, as those of US know who have cul-
tivated the acquaintance oftho -harloston cuisine
but we were disappointed; the dinner was by no
means of an ordinary character.
The bill OF fare was in every respect all that
could have been wished, in substantials and deli
cacies, in fish, flesh and fowl i'm boiled, roast,
entrees and game,-in ice cream and all the other
etceteras in the useful and the ornamental The
pyramids were grand, and the engines, hose car
riage and fremen, all made Of confectionery, did
credit to the cunning artifcer who devised them
