COLUMBIA AND IT'S ATTRACTIONS.

The annual excursion over the Greenville road
of stockholders and their families, together with
the Agricultural Convention, threw larger num-
ber Of strangers in Columbia last week than on
any other occasion since the war. The hotels
were filled to repletion, and private houses were
kindly opened for the accommodation of the i'm
mense crowd
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the city
seemed alive, and the merchants and business
men were made to rejoice at the prosperity of the
up-country. The visitors occupied themselves at
sightseeing among the ruins of the city, and
many for the first time beheld the work of vandal-
ism and looked upon the desolaton of that terri
BILE night in February, 1865.
The principal points of interest, however, seemed
to be the New State House, the Penitsntiary and
the Lunatic Asylum. Of course, numbers had WIS.,
tied the first and last named heretofore, but few
had ever looked upon that model institution kept
solely for the benefit of a7il-doers Permits were
granted, we believe to all desirous of visiting the
Penitentiary, and the officials in charge treated
every person with courtesy and kindness

SALEDAY.-Not many persons were present on
Monday last, and the day was unusually quiet
Only few cases of inebriation, and no fights that
we heard of. The proceedings of the Central DEM
ocratic Club and the Farmers Association occupied
couple of hours, and the sweet music dis
coursed by the Anderson Brass Band interested the
crowd and doubtless kept them out of mischief
The Sheriff sold some property, but in most in
stances we can hardly fix the valuation, as the
homestead law renders the bids merely nominal.
One tract containing 200 acres, brought $3.50, and
another tsact, containing 126 acres, was bid off at
$3.50. There was no homestead exemption on
either of these tracts. The County Treasurer sold
half-acrc lot in this village, under q tax execu-
ton, for S2s5OO. No improvements, fencing or
advantages beyond location. These prices indi-
cate that the value of property is yet unsettled.

DEMOCRATIC NoMrNArIoNs.-The meeting of the

respectable, considering the brief notice which was
given The Court House was we'll filled and the
people manifested decided interest in the proceed.
ings. This augurs victory for the standard-bearers
chosen to represent the party in this instance.
There will be no schism in the Democratic ranks,
so long az the masses are convinced ofthe necessity
for unity and harmony. When the time arrives, if
it ever should, that such necessity does not exist,
then will be time to talk about our individual
preferences or prejudces. We cannot afford to
divide strength and distract our energies in any
contest, while watchful foe is ready to take any
and every advantage of an apparent indifference
upon our part. The gentlemen nominated OH Mon
day are entirely competent to discharge the duties
of the Offices named, and we trust that on The 25th
of May every Democrat deserving the name will
cast their ballots for the regular nominees of the
party.
