COLUMBIA, s. c., April %, 1S69.-To-day
Will mark another great event for Columbia.
It is estimat ed that over two thousand visitors
are at the State capital. The streets are
throngod with lively crowds, and the city b ID q
o metropolitan appearance. All the hotels are
put to their eeverest tost for accommodations.
Both Nickerson's and the new hotel look this
evening as if illuminated. Over four hundred
sat down at the tables to-day at Nickerson's.
Il has also been somewhat OF reunion OF the
substantial and venerable men Of the State
men of historical reputation. Among them
are e1-Governors Bonham, Perry and Orr,
General James Chestnut, formerly United
States senator, aud many others whose fami-
liar features remind us Of glorious old South
Carolina. Their presence brings up recollec-
tions, that can never be forgotten, OF men who
for wears, as representatives OF once happier
people, adorned our legislative halls and were
the recognized leaders of the people. The
movement that brought them together has
been a most auspicious one, and successful
beyond the most sanguine expectations.
