--This distinguished veteran received his friends on Friday at the parlor of
Cook's hotel, in
Columbia, and the character of the affair must have been flattering to his feelings.
In society he is emphatically a gentleman.
He made but one discrimination in the reception of his guests.
Civilians he met with just about as much civility for one as he did for another; but whenever a soldier was presented to him be invariably met him with a warmer cordiality, whether he happened to be an officer or a private.
This was an example well deserving emulation.--
