Office yesterday:

Columbia, June Goth, 1868.
This morning we find inside our window
the following important order. Last night
there was large body of men in towu, in

it was their intention to leave the order SO
that it would appear in to-day's Herald
The Herald, however, was made up last
night, and so we issue an Extra, for the
benefit of our readers. 1t speaks for itself:
