| COLUMBIA, S. c., April 9.-Such 6
peace.ul, quiet Sabbath as yesterday
was n striking contrast with the preced
ing Sunday. II was a day Of rest anc
the people all went to church; the Sun
da7 before was a day of excitement and
anticipation, no ore knowing what nigh
happen within the hour; day tull O
stirring events which made men forge
the church BELLS call, when they were
gathered around the bulletin boards.
Yesterday morning a representative
of The State called upon the Governor
with the purpose of ascertlining Wha
was to be done about the militia. The
Governor went over the whole roll o
tie militia forces Of the State ant
marked with a blue pencil the following
companies as those which had responded
to his call:

Elloree.
The Governor stated that out Of this
regiment the Edlsto Rifles OF Johnston
and the Capers Light Infantry of Edge
field were ready and awaiting bis Or
ders. The only other company, the
Gordon Volunteers, he did not order
out.

ber exactly what they all cid. He says,
however, be did not order out the Bon
ham Ligh Infantry Of Bradley's, one
of these FIVE, but that be did order out

fcom them. He intends to have this in.
vesiigated by court OF inquiry,

ington Guards, Bishopvllle Guards.
There are seven other companies in this
regiment. The Governor says: s'I did
not order out the Florance Rifles, but
they 1unked just the same. The Sum
ter Light Infantry obeyed my order at
the frst, but after the action Of the Co.
lumbia com panies, they went to places,
too. Ia regard to the Bishopvllle Guards
| ordered them out, gave them special
train and they went to Darlington, but
they went home without any or 1ers tcom
any one. They have sent me partial
explanation here, which don't amount
to much, and intend to order court
of inquiry in their case. I do not re.
memper what transpired in regard to
the other compenies. l do remember
that I did not order out the CheraW and
Chesterfield companies.
