GOVERNoR HAMPTON'S MARCH.--We received from Ludden & Bates' Southern Music House, Savavannah, Ga., a fine march by the popular com poser, E. Mack, which is named in honor of Carolina's noble son, Go v ernor Wade Hampton, and without doubt will have an. extended sale throughout the South. The pub. :fishers have given it an elegantly designed title page, with a life-like lithograph, which the Governor's countless admirers will be delighted to obtain.

JAMES A. HOYT, President, Merry Masqueradors. The joy of the people over the e ruro establishmentof law, order and rood government in South Carolii has found an endless variety of >xpressions. Old and young havo ilike given vent to long pant up mnthusiasnm in merry makings, and feneral jubilation, with all of which, Wade Hampton, Carolina's avorite son, is more or less directly onnoeted. It is therefore not a sause of surprise that the young folks of Winnsboro on Friday even ng last participitod in a "Hampton nasquerade." And by the young yolks we do not mean the belles and 1wQlls of the periol, Home of whom re already bufTting the billows of natrimony and others, with the ane vacillation which characterized lhe unfortunates mentioned in the )ld hymn, are still lingering "trem >ling on the brink, and fear to aunch away." Our muse indignant .y loaves behind that olass for the ionce, and plumes herself for a oftier flight, Her companois will )o fair creatures just within budding beens, who, with all the freshness of youth yet not without many of the arts they learned from elder sisters, Gold their court and exercise the 3:ne imperious sway over thoir Ldnirers as they will exercise in naturer moments, Nor will there be wanting companions of the stern r sex, youths just peering over .nto the as yet untrodden region of nauhood, and anxious for a fuller view, some of whom havediscarded ,he roundabout and are glorying n the possession of full length coat ails, and others who have not eached, but are eagerly awaiting hat momentous period, and some )f whom, we fear, will at any favora. )le time surreptitiously purloin their father's or big brothei's razors f they have not one of their own md go into a state of rapture if the 'board pulls" during the tonsorial )perations. With these our., muse pent a delightful evening on Fri lay last On entering the room in which he party were assembled, a strange Ipectacle met the eye. All ages, dl jiationalities, all individu alities were commingled in the most in. songruous assemblage. Any nums. ter of old women were present. ifrs. Partington was there, so was lirs, Wadkins, and so were several ther antiquated females with whom it was not our good fortune to be.. sone acquainted. A donkey was paying court to one of the seasons, rorcibly remembering us of Titania md Bottom, or Beauty and the Beast. The inevitable devil was there, as he issaid to be everywhere; ma among other infernal exploits signalized himself by chasing a "true-true" colored woman into a 3orner and frightening her -half bo death. Snow and winter were there, most appropriately attired mnd forming a strange contrast~ to Sambo, whose phon skin set off to idvantage the purity of their whito aess. A country cormin was amiua ngly awkward. A cook, was there ind a ketchin~ too, for that matter, m brigand with a rich suit, apparent ly just captured from some well fed Padtre. A cotton bale desported itself on two legs, aad from its spirits testifjed that cotton was ii ag in thq market. An animated shuck pile was also perambulating about mud a sheperdess too, who seemned mtirely regard less whether or not ber flock were devoured by a huge bepar and a tiger that were prowling wround lootse, Two flower girls and )ively competition but we are kot informed whether they sold muytldn~g, Spring tappropriately ollowed Winter, Mare and 'Venus have ever been neeparable, and on this festive op, ~aslon guite a sprinkling of the raili ary was observed One foreiens mdividial, armed to the teeth with >owie knife and other weapons, we al8took for an Edgefleld Sioux, but eateinformd tha* he ==m berlain's boy, as none othora wore allowed to carry arnm, On being told that Hayes had ordered the removal of the troops, he iimo diately declared for Hampton. In addition to the above there were any number of pillow slips who resembled spirits from the vasty deep, but had nothing of a funeral look about them. Any number of hideous nondescript maskii wore on the carpet, enjoying tlemselves as they should at a Hampton mas querade. . On the whole, it was one of the most pleasing'entertainments'wehave over attended. A number of older persons were present as lookers on, and hoartily entered into the spirit of tho occasion. If the gover nor of the State himself had lpoked in upon the bright faces there doing honor to hipn be would have been inclined to say "Hurrah for Hamp ton and the young folks of 'Winna borol" Hampton at Columbia. The reception of Governor Hamp. ton at Columbia was in all respects a good one. It was decidedly one of the grandoe ovations ever ton dored to a public man in this State. Upon the arrival of the train bring' ing the governor, the committee of reception and other citizenQ, there was an immense crowd at the depot. As soon as the car stopped Governor Hampton stepped out and was es~ corted to the coach provided for him by a detachment. of the Tornet's Nest Itiflemen, of Charlotte-o4q of the finest bodies of men we have ever seen. While the Governor was walk ing from the car to the coach, the crowd kept up a constant and enthu siastic cheering. The coach was beautifully decorated, and was drawn by four handsome bay horses. The carriages containing the governor aed other distinguished gentlemen were placed in line, the military or ganizations in front and the fire companies in rear. .. All along the line of march to C.rolina H.ll, the governor was greeted with loud cheers, beautiful bouquets and the waving of handkerchiefs, Arrived at the Hall, the governor ascended a stand on the same spot where he delivered his inaugural address. This stand was of course beautifully decorated. In the vicinity all the windows and housc- tops were filled with ladies and children. After some line music by the Post Band, Capt. WV. B. Stanley delivered a neat address of weleome to the governor, to which the latter responded, and spoke mn substance as folbows: GOVERNoRl HAMPTON's ADDREss. Mr. Chairman, my countrywomen aind my countrymen of South Caro lina ; Travel-worn and wveary, I have come back to my constituents Those constituents are the true people of South Carolina. Coming here, I find a welcome which has stirred my heart to its inmost depth. It in not a welcome that a conquered people would render to a conqueror. I bring no trophies from the -battle field, I come to say that the cause in which we foughmt-the cause in which you made me your standard bearer-t4he cause of. truth hats been victorious. Once more the banner of South Carolina, not carried through bloody fields, but through those more glorious ones of peace, floats over a State free, disonthiralled and redeemed-not redeemed by blood or by violence, but by the po teuitial agency of the ballot.' Fonest men of South Carolina, of all races and par ties, wer'e determinedto- wipe away the scandal which had so long diugraced her history, Our fight was for very existence. The civilization of two hundred years was beig blotted out. .Onr govern spent was passing into the hands of hostile aliens and strangers. Plac ing ou~r cause in the hands of God, we made one grand effort to re-. deem South Carolina. Determined to go downi with bannere floating, you fought a battle never equalled mn the annals of American history. I scarcely realize the crave issties that were dependent upon those 'days Qf peril and glooa. Idid not reahize until I went to Washington thaat a musket shot in . this town would have neapt civil war on this continept, And what stoped it ? 4Crles of "You. done .it I "You 1" Harpton I")J No, ray ecuptry, men, it was because the poob pie of South Carolina are .the most law-.abiding people :i4- this country; and because they had risen above thie . aidexskonsofj State. lut you have won this fight, i the men-or rather the womren, for ' it was the women of South Qarglina who won the victory. TLire was not a woman in the Stito who would look upon a atin who turned his back upon our cause. '[Pro., longed applause prevented the rex mainder of this remark from being hoard.] You won the victory at the ballot box. But there came the more ipsidious attacks upon us by fraud, 'he verdict of the people, from the 7th of Noyomber to this time, las ben stiflod, #o have appealed, ap peaofnl citioeg phould not to yio1onceo. You know that when that crowd was pfanding out there night after night, it re quired but a word to' have them sweep away n~s the storm drives the leaves before it, every vestige of opposition. I felt I was safe in relying upon your for. bearance and respect for the laws, and my apsslu'tnce that victory wou4ld surely result, if yon were patient. The courts recognized our government, but still a usurpation stood in the way. I knew it would not do to resort to force to remnovo it. I told you that in the fullness of time oqr yictory would be complete, I predicted that if you would only wait patiently and trust to Almighty God and the justice of your cause, you would be successful. You have been succossfil and you now have the practical recognition that could be given the government of your choice. And lere let me add, that I did not go to Washington to ask recognition, I did pot go there to offer or hear terms of compromise, or to submit my case to any tribun al. I told thorn, I hold ;ny title from the peoplo of South Carolina. I wanted no endorsepent of theirs. I went from motives of personal courtesy to the President. It is but justice to a political opponent for me to gay that Mr. Hayes, consult ing his own dignity and respect for the laws of the land, and I hope for South Carolina, asked me to make no concessions, and proposed no terms or conditions. And as long as he will follow, in good faith, the policy indicated in his inaugural, and carry out all the pledges which he has made, I shall support him. I beg you for four years to come to devote yourselves to the devoloj ment of the material interests of South Carolina, And prosperity, peace and happiness will dawn upon our entire people, without regard to race or condition.
