WASHINGTON, April 2.-When Gov.
Hampton was informed in advance of
the official notification, that an order
would be issued for the removal OF the
troops from the State House, he ex-
pressed himself as much gratifed but
said that it was no more than he expect
ed, from the principles announced in the
inaugural address. He was somewhat
interested to know whether the order
was to take immediate effect, as he wishes
to be present in Columbia when it is
executed. However, as a precautionary
measure, he would at once telegraph to
friends in Columbia his earnest
wish that there should be no outward
demonstrations such as might disturb the
public peace, and he was satisfied that
his advice would be respected, and on the
withdrawal of the troops from the State
Heuse, he would direct that guard Of
two, (unarmed,) be sent there TO guard 1t
from improper interruption, and he
thought such force would be sufficient
for the purpose. He felt satisfied that
there would be no disturbance whatever,
and that the people throughout the State
would take courage in the effort to repair
their shattered industries. He called this
afternoon to take leave of the President
and to thank him for the withdrawal
of the troups, repeating the assurance
given in his recent letter that all should
share alike in the protection of law and
not doubling his ability to preserve
peace. He dee, not apprehend that Gov.
chamberlain will take any action with
regard to the custody OF the State House.
Governor Hampton will leave Wash
ington to night on his return to Colum-
bis. He has been congratulated by his
friends on the success OF his visit.
At the Cabinet meeting this morning
the Secretary of War was directed TO
prepare an order transferring the troops
from the STATE House IN Columbia, South
Carolina, to their camp.
Gcv. Chamberlain in response to the
question, what he thought of the
determination to remove troops from the
State House in South Carolina, said:
at ends the struggle and makes Gen.
Hampton practically governor" Being
asked when he proposed returning u
South Carolina, he said he would start
for Columbia tomorrow evening. he
dimes with the President this evening.
The formal order to Gen. Augur to
remove the troops from South Carolina
to their camp is being prepared by
the Secretary of War, but will
not be sent 10 Gen. Rugur, or made pub
lie till tomorrow. General Sherman
was closeted with Secretary McCrary for
some time for this purpose. The prepsr-
alton of the order was commenced, which
WILDE in the nature of dispatch to
General .Rugur, and not a general order
through the accustomed military chan
nels. 1t is generally believed that the
order will not be sent till after it has
been submitted to the Cabinet tomorrow.
