Columbia, S. 0, April 5. —“ Would
you like to attend this?” said Gov.
Scott the other day, as he handed me
an elaborately gotten up envelope,
bearing a huge monogram. I took it
•aloci read as follows:
; Company 8., ;
: Second Regiment, S. C. N. G.,;

“Yv’ii this boa recherche affair?” I
inquired, as I folded the envelope.
“Oh, yes,” said tne Governor, “ the
creme c/e la creme of our colored society
will be lb ore, and if you go you’ll have
a pleasant time.
“Shall you and Mrs. Scott attend ?”
“Wall, hardly. You see,” said the
Governor, and here his eye twinkled.
I haven’t been very well of late, and
anything like violent exercise, such as
dancing, for instance, throws me off’
my feet. Mrs. Scott and I have rent
regrets.”
“ Will there be any white people
there?” “Oil, yes, I have heard several
signify their intention to be present.”
I pocketed the invitation and re-,
s lived to attend.
scene around the Hall.
At an early hour Janney’s Hull,
which, by the wav, was elaborately
decorated for the occasion, presented
a lively scene. Members of the com
pany and officers of the regiment in
full uniform assembled in large num
bers in and around the hall, and
hundreds of less favored colored
persons thronged the street below,
and gazed with envious eyes upon the
gorgeous trappings of their brethren.
A, band of colored musicians dis
coursed sweet music on a balcony
above, to the strains of which the
guests marched into the baU-room.
Captain Jacob Thompson* the gen
tlemanly commander of Company B,
is a coal black negro of huge pro
portions. His manly form was clad in
a dark blue military suit, somewhat
resembling in cut the dress of an
------- 0 • f
Alpine hunter. The coat'was trimmed
with red slashing, and on the Captain’s
shoulders gleamed a pair of the
shiniest < paillettes. He was unbiquii
< us. He gallantly aided ebony belles
to surmount th'6 steep staircase, and
aldo flitted about the refreshment table
and superintended the proper arrange
ment of the choice viands. The captain
is a very fine looking officer. He is
not so graceful in his movements us
your Colbnel Fisk, but lie is quite as
gallant among tile ladies.
He is very popular, aud many a
coal-black eye brightened in intensity,
and many a dusky countenance blush
ed a‘s thd ponderous Captain smiled
and escorted the ladies up the steep
staircase. He was assisted in this
delicate duty by the lieutenants of his
command.
lieutenhints are not so hand
some as their Captain. They have not
been so long*m society, neitnfe'r iiavh
they traveled so extensively as he.
They did;.wel], however. Like the
.faired iq the
ph - of military fashion, and an ere
great favorites with the colored ladies*
on the floor. ‘
«
By 10 o'clock the ball-room was
crowded with the youth and beauty of
Columbia’s'colored society. There was
also a fair sprinkling of whites, but
not enough to mar the pleasure of the
company. Several unpleasant little
incidents occurred, resulting from the
persistent efforts of certain of the
whites to monopolize the society of the
young colored ladies, but, I am pleased
to say everything passed off a> quietly
as at any Seventh Regiment bail I
ever attended.
Several white ladies ivere present,
arid evinced by their actions, a fuli
determination to break down the
| social barriers which have so long
Tfrfweeii tlnf two races. The
I colored ladies present did not in any
instance respond as cheerfully and
| cordially to these well meant efforts as
they might have done, but this might,
perhaps, be attributed to the fact that
the white ladies were comparative
i strangers, aud they may have had
some hesitancy about associating with
| them until proofs of their high social
| standing at home were furnished. The
music was fine, the dancing was kept
up continuously, and all enjoyed
themselves hugely.
WHO WEPE THERE.
Os course where so many were
present it was impossible to get
! the name of pH. The more prominent
of the guests, however, I knew', and
hence I was not at a loss for in form a
! tiou. The highest civil functionary
present was his honor the Mayor of
Columbia. Next to him were the
Board of Aldermen of the city and the
honorable Win., J. Liter, the City
; Clerk. M.yor Smythe is a white
j gentleman, and danced very frequently
He was not accompanied by ladies,but
; found no scarcity of partners on the
as the young colored ladies
esteemed it an especial honor to dance
with his Honor the Mayor. The
Mayor s erned partial to the waltz,
and the delicacy with which ho clasped
his partner in that enchanting dance
was the admiration of all present. The
Mayo, is a graceful dancer. Having
long leg*, ho is peculiarly fitted by
nature tor a votary of Terpsichore.
Wearied at last of looking at the
dancers, of which there were so man}
on the floor, I took a seat in the
corner and watched those who came
in at a late hour. Ail were dressed
with neatness, but with few exceptions,
no diamonds were worn.
UNCLE JOSEPH.
Toward miduignt, as I was sitting
looking at the brilliant array, an un
usual buzz and sensation in the room
attracted my attention. I looked in
the direction indicated by the stir, and
soon found the object of it. Anew
comer bad just entered the room, and
all eyes were upon him. He was
dressed in light pants, a little too short
for his legs, a steel pen coat of blue
cloth, resplendent with brass buttons,
a buff’ colored vest,and dancing pumps.
His hair avus abundantly oiled, and
bis countenance wore a smile.
This was the Hon. Joseph Crews,
the. great poker player, and the exiled
representative from Laurens county.
Uncle Joseph, as he is familiarly
called, had arrived at the ball a little
too late, but he explained ic aloud by
saying that it took him a longer time
to in <ke his toilet than he supposed it
would. Some white men were so un
charitable as to assert that he had
been indulging in a little game of
draw, aud that there were a couple of
niggers that had given him some
trouble before he could clean them out.
Uncle Joseph at once joined in the
festivities. Seizing a remark able and
hand-o me colored lady by the hand
be claimed her for the next dance,
which happened to boa Varsovienue.
Uncle Joseph is a superb dancer. He
sways aud rocks in his gyrations like a
cotton ball in an autumn wind. He is
very fond of the Varsovienue. Uncle
Joseph is a very graceful man himself,
aud he can do the Varsovienue to
perfection.
The Senator was decidedly the most
graceful dancer on the floor, and won
unbounded admiration by the skill
with which lie executed some of the
most difficult pas wuls. The Misses
Ruffin of course attracted more atten
tion than any other ladies in the room.
Being ;th<j leaders of the colored ton ,
and the moulders of fashion among
the elite of the city, this is not at all
singular. They were drissed most
elegautly. Miss Lottie Rolliu presented
a beautiful appearance. She danced
frequently with her betrothed, and
excited the highest admiration as she
flouted about clasped in the arm of
Senator Mclntyre. Miss Louisa was
the most admired of . either of the
young ladies, aud received many at
tentions from the colored officers* who
vied with each other for the honor of
her h nd in the different seta
Miss Kate Boffin was attired in a
heavy corded black silk, with sweaping
traiu. She is a beautiful dancer and
was on the floor almost constantly.
A OAIiiET-BAGGER AT THE BALL.
Uncle Joseph had hardly glided off
before a thin* cadaverous-looking man,
with very -red hair and scraggy red
whiskers ou his chiu, made his ap
pearance in the ball-room. Ho was
dressed shubbyily aud looked hungry.
Thhj was the Honorable Lewis Cass
Carpenter, editor of the Daily Thieves’
Own, of Columbia. I noticed that he
asked several of the young colored
ladies to dauce with him, but refused.
None of the colored ladies cared to
i dauce with him, and he finally drifted
into the refreshment room.
He is a white man, but is received
in colored society upon terms, of per
fect equality. He danced frequently
wuh t: ’ ,
THE BEAUTIFUL MIS ES ROLLIN',
avho were present, and who were, of
course, the belles of tho evening. The
Misses Rolliu were accompanied by
the white Senator, Mclntyre, of Colle
ton, who is the fiance of Miss Charlotte
Gordav Uol in.. The Senator, who is
a very small man,, was attired in a full
evening dress of Blhek, and in his but
ton-hole bloomed a rose-bud, which
was plucked by Miss Lottie.
THE SUPPER ROOM
avus well filled throughout the entire
evening. The entertainment was very
fine indeed, Champagne cider flowed
like water, toward the close of the
ball,.an unpleasant scene occurred in
the supper-room, which did much to
mar the enjoyment of the young
colored ladies present.
It seems that at about 12 o’clock,
Major Samuel Dickson, of the Sjutk
Carolina National Guard, who, as I
should have mentioned before,,'was at
the ball in bis georgeqns uniform, went
into the supper room for the purpose
of getting something to eat. The Ma
jor had danced nearly all the evening,
and felt quite hungry. He looked over
the table and saw nothing. The table
had been stripped quite bare. The
Major was about turning away, when
he saw a napkin lying on the cloth.—
The Major lifted the napkin, aud was
rejoiced to find that it covered a pi ite
upon Avbich lay
a pig’s pickled foot.
The Major's eye glistened as it fell
upon the prize, and he at once appro
priated it an retired to a corner to. eat
it. The Major had taken but two or
three bites when Senator Mclntyre en
tered the room, having upon his arm
the young and beautiful miss Lottie
Ro.lin, to whom he is engaged to be
married. They advanced to the table.
The Senator looked around somewhat
puzzled. He raised nearly every nap
kin on the table, and seemed much
chagrined He finally returned to
Miss Rolliu, and whispered in a low
tone:
“My dear, I had it and saved it for
yon. I had put it on a plate, and cov
ered it up with a napkin. I wonder
Avho could have taken it?”
Just then the Seuatof Spotted the
Major in the corner, eating a pickled
pig's foot. He looked at the Major
very hard. The Major showed no con
cern whatever. He quietly munched
away on
The Pigs Pickle" Foot.
Tbo Senator approached and said:
“Major, did you get that from uuder
a napkin on the table ?”
The Major—l did, sail, (bowing
very profoundly )
The Senator—Well, I had placed it
there for a young lady.
The Major (with a startled look) —I
am sorry, sab; but I have only eaten
the toes, and you may have the rest.
But stop. Perhaps we can get anoth
er. Ido not believe but what we can.
The Senator—l do not believe we
can get another, and besides, I think
it a devlish ungentlemanly trick. You
might have known that it wai intend
ed for someone.
The M’ljor— What’s that, sah ?
The Stiiiaboiv-rAu ungentlemanly
trick—that’s what is was.-
The Major—l will see you to-mor
row, sah.
And with this the military chieftain
drew himself up with grand dignity
and stalked out of the room, his long
sabra dangling and clanking at Lis
heels.
The conversation between the Senator
and the Major was carried on in a very
excited manner and it created a great
sensation. The friends of the Senator
were apprehensive at firstdhat the Ma
jor might send him a challenge, but
their fears have not yet been realized.
THE END OF THE BALL.
The festivities were kept up until a late
hour in the morning, when, with a tired
and weary look, the guests departed
for their home. Company B’s ball
was considered a very great succ ss.
Key. Dr. mell.
The spirit of the following letter
from President Mell is worthy of all
commendation. It is a fresh proof
that he knows how to speak to the
heart of his brethren. Even his emi
nent qualifications for the position
which he has adorned through a series
of years, scarcely become him so well
as the willingness to retire from it in
the interests of harmony and union.
Harmony and Union among Georgia

' fr ‘ t* -
A noticible feature of the Conven
tion just adjourned was the magnani
mous, forbearing and fraternal spirit
that generally prevailed. A question
of threatening character, relating to
the educational interests of the denom
ination- —oue involving division of sen
timent, deep feeling, and personal in
terest, was settled to the mutual satis
faction of those directly at issue.,
Two Conventions in succession have
unmistakably decided in favor of re
moval; and we may therefore suppose
that the majority of our people, who
care anything about the subject, are
of the same opinion. The question,
then, qf the removal of the University
from Penfield, seems to be definitely
and finally Settled. If this be so.
should not those of us in the minority
imitate the magnanimity of the people
of Peqfield, and submit and acquiesce ?
True, there are some important and
deficate questions connected with the
location of the University yet to be
passed upon by the Board of Trustees;
but may we not hope that the wisdom
and piety of those brethren will be
ajequ ate to the occasion ?
The sacrifices I recommend to oth
ers—and more —l am willing to submit
to myself. Some, lam informed, think
the position I occupy in the denomina
tion in the State, is a hindenmee to
harmony and uuion among our people.
Very well: I am prepared to abandon
it, bower much I prize it. Whatever
of power I have had as President of
the Convention, I have endeavored to
wield for harmouy and union. I now
give notice that I lay it down for the
accomplish meat of the same ends.

Poisonous Medicines.
The theory that the virus of disease can he
safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false
and dangerolts. Wltalu the last twentv-five
years, not less than a score of virulent poisons
have been added to the repository of the medi
cal profession. They are given in small doses,
otherwise they would dest/ov life immediately;
but even in minute quantities, they produce,
ultimately, very disastrous effects. *lt is un
wise ami vnpliitisophical to employ*, as reme
dies, powertul and insidious drugs', which, in
snbiugating one disease, sow the seeds of an
other still more unmanageable. None of these
terrible medicaments operates with as much
directness and certainty upon the causes of dis
ease as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a touic and
corrective, without a single deleterious :ngre
dient in its composition. Let invalids, for their
