Brooks and the cheers of tlie excited populace, to getber with the occasional music from n fine oraw 1 and, to give you a slight description oft lie complirocutary Ball of the past evening. According to Announcement the Bail came off, and it proved a most successful and brilliant affair. T/10 large and amnio L.ll .L I _ _ >.1 I i>mi rwni, inrungwo wnn a gay assent mage of bn|>by faees from (ho most choice society of the Palmetto Slate, presented a spectacle of exceeding beauty. The large hall of the new Court House, 90 by 50 feet, was used fortbe occasion, and beautifully decorated with taste and labor, had been converted in- { to a palace of enchantment. As you entered the hall, the eye was nr-1 tested by a huge painting of the Palmetto' T'ree, with the inscription, *'iVW? me Tun , 'f/ete" on the lop, together with the date of. the attack of Sumner, 22d May, 1850, ( Thb walls were hung with festoons, suppoit-! ed in the ceutro with a shield with one star ;, wreaths were formed on the fides, with tiju initials of tho guest's name; the floor hand - j eomely painted for quadrilles ; the oryhestiai Was beautifully arranged, and the whole doc- j oration would do credit to a city hall room, j Mr. Brooks wrs escorted to the ball room J t at 9 o'clock by the Committee amid the i waving of handkerchiefs, cheers and music, i llnl after a short time occupied in promeua- j ding and introductions, he selected a partner, and the festivities of the evening commenced, j and our guest gave us demonstration that I he could use his feet as well as his hind*. , Beauty was there seen in its brightest, moods, with its most superb decoration*.! We have never seen a finer display of rich and magnificent toilets or fairy forms on any j previous occasion. The inspiring tutt-ic; the flashing of jewels, the rising and falling of heads made up a g rgeous and bewilder- j ed spectacle, making thetn resentl?lo ' Fresh blown roses bathed in dew," dancing like fairies in sotrto spirit land !? J All is gay colors and universal animation.?: We doubt if any city iir the Union could display a greater v.-uietv of beauty and in-! tolKgence than wa> gathered together to do j homage to the champion of the South.? j There were many ladies front abroad, in i fact tiro surroundim? Districts wore -.v,11 un.l beautifully rep. i-scuted, and were il pos?il>l<in n notice like this, to l>c personal in our! description, we would name the two M S 's from Columbia, who, at home, high on the roll of beauty and fashion, shone a* i brilliantly among our own matchless belles, i as when achieving their triumphs on their i own native ground. Pendleton was richly represented by the accomplished Miss L s. Charleston j came in for its share of laurels. Anderson. Edgefield, Newberry, ?fec., all had more or less of their beautions fair, which helped to make up a boquet of excellence so rare ilint it would be inadmissable to isolate out a solitary flower. Our own town and district seemed to outdo all former efforts. She was rich indeed in the charms of her delegation. J In what terms can I describe the surpassing | loveliness of Greenville's fair daughters ?? j First on the roll of beauty stands Mi.?s W -s; side by side with Miss T n it ; requires close judgment to ascertain which; should bear the palm. Mrs. S r, from Mobile, was there to contend for the piit'.ei of beauty ; and although a young and dash- j ing widow, secured the attentions of manv j of the sterner s-ex. The Mioses \V .! from near Wiliinmshm, were there, looking) the very chjldreii of nature, upon whom the1 fabled deities of the poetic nations secin to j have lavished ilieii most precious gifts. The Misses L.'*and Miss J., from Fairview,. were there. 1 he former sisters were the a< I -1 miration of tho room?the concentration <>f all that is cx-jui>iie in grace, most poetical! in the poetry of motion ; the latter, fair and i beautiful luminary, what can we say of thee,! if thy early dawn is so redolent of sunshine,! liow brightly dazzling will be thy noon da) J splendour. The Misses I>.\ cousins of our \ guest, were much admired. The younger: one danced with a footfall as light as a honey bird's wing, as he brushes the morning dew from the (lowers. She, together with the charming .Miss j Jennie O.,' favored the company with a beautiful fancy dance, Miss J s excelled ; even herself; her contiimtuhug form was an i embodiment of the poet's dream, the sculp-j tor's glory. Miss l)'G y elicited much admiration ; her sparkling eye appeared like j the orbs of a sea-born goddess just risen in the vivid delight from anow-dlivcn couch of! spray.

' t We must not omit the married ladies. r who contributed so much to th? gaiety of | the see no ; they were numerous and Inaiuti , fully raprescnted, disputing the palm of ** ,, cellenco and beauty with the leigning belles t of the evening. i Among the incited guests we noticed , Hon.

The nnmrrrtiu alien. dance was a fit acknowledgement of this pains taking gallantry. fully five hundred persons haxing enjoyed the festivo scene.? Some most reserved families, who rarely go out of their own immediate circles, were delighted and delighting guests. Tor thedecotatioii of tho hall, management of the floor, ?ke., tho Committee are under obliga- i tions to Professor J. S. Nichols, of Savau nah, Gn., who acquitted himself with his usual skill and taste in such uattcis, andwitli infinite satisfaction to all. This morning the ladies of the town visited Mr. ami Mrs. I hooks, in the diawing room of the Mansion House, in throng*-offering their Congratulations, accompanied t with ehoice boqiiets, ?ke.

A call was then made f<?r Col Orr, hut he did not respond, owing. J suppose, to his having addressed them on Wednesday evening. Mt.
