AID FOR A COLUMBIA CHURCH.-The Rev.
VIM. Martin, Of Columbia, will be in town to-day
and for several days to come endeavoring to pro-
cure assistance for his congregation, in rebuild
ing their church. His congregation, before the war,
one Of the weathiest in Columbia, and they had
fine church building, the largest in the city. be
sides two parsonages, one for the minister of the
congregation, and one for the presiding elder The
church and boththe parsonages were destroyed by
Rreon the 18th Of February 1855, at the time Of the
burning of Columbia by shermans army, and the
members Of the congregation lost 30 much property
by the fire, that from of the wealbest they sud-
denly became Of the poorest in the State. With
much effort there has been erected small chapel
in which the members Of this church now convene
for worship; but this building is totally Inadequate
to the wants Of even the present congregation, and
would prove utterly subversve to the good hope of
gathering in a larger-the place being already too
Strengthened for the present usua assembly Of
shippers. Under these circumstances the congre-
cation feel justified in calling such Of their 70 low
Christians who have been more fortunate, to aid
them in building larger churcb-and we have NO
doubt that Mr. Martin will be met in q liberal man
ner by the people of Charleston.
