Columbus.—We spent several days last week in Columbus, and though, owing to the fact that planters are usily engaged at this time putting in their crops, trade was a little dull, everything presented quite a lively appearance. The Factories an i Machine Shops were in full blast, and the merchants were opening large and splendidstocks of goods, in anticipation of a good busi-MM-season.■ ^ I ' -$2We witnessed with pleasure that several splendid church edifices are being erected. The new Methodist church lately finished, though small, is a very handsome structure, and speaks well for t he ‘p’r09fa*ri y and good taste of the denomi-TUtJjfcn for which it is intended. The Baptist Church which, is rlt;pidly approaching completion, will be a very handsome building, and an crnameut to the city. The Presbyterians, in ourhumble opinion, will have, when completed, by far the finest and most convenient church in the city, if not in the South. No expense has been j spared in making it, both in convenience and architectural display, everything a church edifice should he. The city and the denomination to which it belongs may well be proud of such a noble and elegant house of worshipWo cannot forbear mentioning*!he fine lletcllately opened in Columbus, by our friend HatchCook, formerly of the Chewalla Hotel of this place. We predicted when he went there that his enterprise would bo a success, and we found that our most sanguine expectations were realized. The house, though commodious is not large enough for the extensive and increasing patronage which Cook’s excellent cuisine, strict atten’ion to his guests, and superb management in every department, attracts. E/ery viand and luxury that can be procured may be found at his table, and every attention which the most exacting may require, is rendered b}- his corps of well trained servants and efficient and gentlemanly Major Domo—Mr. Huntley, formerly of theExchange Hotel, Baltimore.—Eufau a Ejprcs*.
