nois of speaking from the Hon. P. S. 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. Miss C , Miss It r, Missj
F r, the Misses L s. Miss S??, i
Miss T n, Misses P s, Miss H e

ing beauty of the scene.
Miss D~?t, from Alabama,enured inanv f
to e*ebiiui? ' !
"A thing of beauty is joy forever."
Miss S a,from the same State claimed ,
the attention of a host of admirers. ,
Kentucky ?a? represented by the bentiti- /
ful Miss McC II. ' 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. Waddy Thompson, lion. J. L. Orr, ,
Hon. It. F. iVrry, Col. (?l?dden, from Ism- *
isuma, and many none of Carolina's noble t
sows, nil enjoying tite festive scene. j,

scenes of another day,* made pleasant "by

To the admirable management of , the
Committee who superintended the getting
up ami conducting the whole affair, the
complete sUCtfhje jf^ETcli attended it was du?s
I heir names were n sufficient gnat anive that
nothing would be left undone which could
give effect to the scene, or comfort to their
guest and visitors. 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. In tho evening
the Greenville Brass- Bfu-d. seielCailcih Col /

call of the cili/ona, he appeared and*, nd- !

of respect to others then ill the ItyugMh
who were, as he said, more worthy from
their service than himself to such n demon
stratum of feeling, meaning Hon. J. L. On.

After Col. Brooks concluded, a call
was made fur Col. Gladden, when he appeared
and addressed the citizen*. A call was
then made f<?r Col Orr, hut he did not respond,

Do Tuts with Yoru Guns.?Wash j
your gun barrels in spirits of turpcu
tine, by dipping a rag or sponge, fastened
on your ramrod, into the liquid, 1
and swabbing them out two or tlnec
times, when they will be cleaned from j'
all impurities, and can be used almost
instantly, as the turpentine will evaporate
and leave the barrls dry even
if they are a little moist, it will not .
prevent their going off. After being 5
washed thus, there is no danger of rust, i
as when water is used. This is the c*- 11
perience of an old gunner, and our'
sportsmen would do well to adopt it.
