The inaugural address of Governor
Hampton, delivered at Columbia,
South Carolina, on the 14th inst, was
calm and digniied, yet firm and pa
triotic. He scathingly reviews the
gross usurpations of the Republican
party in that State, and with the
consciousness of a man who is just in
the cause he espouses, he asserts that
he and his people know their rights,
and knowing, dare maintain them
In this position he will be supported
by all the good people Of the land.
His address will be found in to-day's
paper, and We commend it to all GU.
readers.

My DEAR FRIEND:-I am in receipt of
your letter, which met me on my return
home. | am deeply obliged to you for
your kind expression.
Strangely enough, l did not learn any
thing of the fire until read it In the news
papers which reached me at Des MoiDes.
My family, knowing my engagements,
and naturally self-possessed, went to work
to make the best of it until | returned.
The fire was the result of furious wind
in defective fue, and was beyond control
in q few moments. The house was on the
ground 80 by 40 feet.
1t was frame, OF strong oak on the out
side, lined with inch oak, and weather
boarded with pine. On the inside it was
lined with one-inch plank, and laid on top
OF that with inch lumber, making a solid
wooden wall OF four inches, aside from the
four inch studding. All of the floors were
double, OF oak, covered with pine, but the
very solldity OF the house proved the i'm
possibility of saving it 10 the fire.
