Governor Hampton's Spcooh at Blackvllle. At the conclusion of Gen. Connor's oration, nu.I as soon ns the npplnu.se which followed it | ha<l died away, n hundred voices called out "Hampton." The cry soon became general and the Governor, finding escape impossible, came to the front atuid a perfect tliuudcr of cheers and a shower of bouquets. After ussuring the audience that be came to Hiackville merely as a looker on, and not ns a speaker, the Governor said : "And 1 am sure th it i could say nothing belter than to repeal t iie remark made by a gentleman, who was once called upon to speak after liurko. He got up and said: 'i say ditto to all Mr. Burke has said.' Now I would say, to-day,-ditto'to every- | tiling that Gcu. Connor has said. 1 would sa^ to you that when I sat here and listened to lire ' advice of thai man, who made as great sacrifices to become a candidate as any man in the Slate, who cnuie in and devoted all his time and eunhiliti* in ll?o nniiKA nf frniitlntn n.'.l lloine rule ? who, when we were successful, " v, ^ g vc to our government (hut sound judguicnt | 1 an i ihat conservatism which have marked his | i course throughout ; when 1 heard him give to , the people to-day, and through them to the whole State, those pregnant words; when i heard hint tell thu young men that there was ' something more than otlicc; when I heard him , ted the people to scorn the olliee-soekers and to look for men who subordinated self to the fecii ; of patriotism for South Carolina; when 1 1. - .. i him appeal to you to semi the heal men to /' Legislature ; when I heard him tell you of tin' si niggles we had gone through, and the grave responsibilities that rested upon us as the v.. tors of this campaign, I felt that if there was y.ic man whose voico should be the exponent of toe sentiment of the best people of South Carol'n.i, it is the man who has just addressed you to-day.

[A voice: "Wc will never doit!"] You have it all in your own hands. Von claim to be the banner county of the Stato, and ? your claim is not without right. [Cheers.] Von carried your election by un overwhelming majority, because you curtic before the people, 1 white au'l black, recognizing the rights of every I citizen and saying, "You shall all be equal un- j dor the law." You went to the colored people and told tlictu that their rights would be protee'e I. You told theui thut wc had pledged ourselves that the Constitution and laws of South Carolina should give equal protection to all.? You appealed to thctn to come and help you work out the redemption of the State. They ! nine by hundreds and did help. And 'now i Would you turn back upon them, and, after trying lor leu years to convince the colored matt that his true interests lay with the Democratic party, would you say, "Sow wc have no use for - - _<uU/? . loiia9iQii not xum c?uu uk %?m- primary elections." If this he the policy of South Carolina then am I sadly mistaken in the people of South Carolina and the people are mistaken in inc. because / can carry nut no such policy us th it. / stand where you put mi in 1870. 1 have not deviated one iota, and despite the criticisms against me, I defy any man to place his linger upon one singlo act of mine that is not in strict accord with the policy of the Democratic party in convention assembled in 1ST<?. They gave me a chart and compass by which I was to con?iiict the campaign. Taking it as my guiile, 1 went before (lie people, black and white, and ia the name of tiie people 1 held up that platf.'rtn and i said to them: "Here is what the < puopte of South Carolina have said to the world: j * V\ c have aceeptcit i\iv ticuviur^hc platform, which recognizes the equality of every citizen before the law. We have adopted our own platform of 1?J, which endorses the national platform and guarantees equality to all men before the law.' " [Cheers.] From where the blue-capped mountains kiss the sky to where old ocean rolls upon the coast, front North to South, from Fast to West, I went before the people, white and black, and told theiu that if they elected us, they would put men in otlice who would recognize all the pledges and would carry them out in good faith, and 1 tell yuii the men you have placed in power? Ilagoud and his colleagues in the State otliccs? would cu. their riyht arms off before tbe>/ would their jdedjes.

One day last week, as Mr. Noland was examining some fish traps in Fair Forest he noticed something lodged against tin? willows or brush iu the stream, which, upon examination, proved to be an infant child, between four and six months old, that had, apparently, been in the water two or three days. A coroner's jury was empanelled, and suspicion was fastened upon a woman who had passed through this town sonic days before, with a child in her arms, inquiring the way to the Fair Forest bridge. She was arrested an 1 committed to jail. She insists that she is innocent of the crime, that the child she had belonged to a relative of hers; but as she cannot produce the child, circumstances arc strong against her.

The "sickly season" is now upon us, and although we claim that thelutt'u of Union is one of the heaihicst ' spots in this or any other State, the best way to keep it s^ is to be careful uot to induce sickness by permitting stagnant water, garbage or fi th of any kind to accumulate in, under, or anywhere noilr the house or yard.

Fifteen or twenty feet in front of this, again, a barrel and a man, tho man taking the glass halls out of th6 barrel and throwing tWKr nfUPfrnir, aud Dr. Carver breaking them with the bullets as fast as they appeared. Somebody was alwuys at work loading a title. The marksman could lire them faster than tho loaders c utd load. And they wore the most remarkable rifles?breech-load** , of course.

Carver broke each otic as it flew, the distance being not less than 100 yards. Several coins were shot, straight throtfgh the centre, as they whirled in the air. ? * One of thp astounding of Dr. Carver's feats was his liittinga hull-metal ball when il was almost out of sight, up in the air. The hall is so made that when the bullet strikes it, it rings liko asutall gong. The assistant threw this ball many I.

When the assistant threw two glass 1 hulls up at the same time the rifleman, with n double-barrel weapon, first broke one and then the other, without making a single failure. ' The two requisites for good shooting are of I .course an immovable rest for the gun-stock and a steady hand and arm for the bar1 rel. The secret of Dr. Carver's wonderful ' marksmanship may he in his immense and perfectly balanced body, which stands firm as ' rock. Willi a steady hnml also, such a n.an may do almost incomprehensible tilings with a 1 good rifle. His body seems able to wit list knd 1 any nttacks of nervousness ; yet when lie misa a shot lie is very likely to miss the two or three succeeding ones, a sure sign that the miss : flurries him.

SOtllC WCClO ago the beginning of operations at the Charleston l?agging Factory was formally announced. Since that time the work dotie has steadily ini creased in quautity and improved in quality, ' and what difficulties the Company had to con1 tend with are virtually overcome. The chief > obstacle was that the young women who are employed h-pl .no experience whatever in feeding 1 and directing the machines. This inconvenience the Company cheerfully bore, in prcfet' ence to hringing down operatives from the 5 North. It was the determination of the managers to give Charleston the full benefit of the1 new undertaking by employing Charleston peo; i,lcThe Company is now fully equipped. It is an accomplished fact. Yesterday the first sale 1 of Charleston-made bagging was ctfcctcd, hrelve hundred rolls being purchased by 0. W. Williams1 & Co. This is a concrete fact of the most cheering kind ; for, excepting the cost of jute and other materials, the whole proceeds of the salo of the hogging are earned and spent in Charleston. There is plenty of idle capital in this* State, and the success of the Lagging Company sluuld lead to the establishment of other factories of different kinds.
