Columbia Phoenix

The road to Jordan, or rather to Charleston, seems to be a hard one for the traveler. We told our readers a few days ago, that though ingress to the city might be easy, and even egress, yet the route to it was exceedingly uneven to the sore-footed. We are now told that some score or two of the adventurous citizens of Columbia, on their way to the delights of Yankee and negro society in Charleston, have been arrested by our scouting parties and sent back to the regions which they had abandoned. We believe that no person will be allowed to leave Columbia for the tabooed region without a passport from the city authorities, countersigned by Col. Rudler, in charge of the military here.
