Let the Hearts and Hands of alt Edge field Men Be Open! We had almost said a nasty, dirty, filthy dog. And so he is. And what is the use of gentility or logia in such a case as this? HU name is Emory Speer, a North Geor ! "gia renegade who tried to play the role of Mahone in onr sister State, but had not weight enough to carry through his traitor ous schemes." In lieu of playing Mahone in Georgia, he is now coming to South Carolina to work with Sara Melton-and . with drilled witnesses and packed juries in the effort to convict honest and honora ble South Carolina citizens. This man Speer-he is of Athens if we mistake not-has been tendered by Attor , hey-General Brewster the position of spe cial United States Attorney in the South Carolina election cases; and he has ac cepted. He is now in Washington study ing the cases-cs prepared by Butter worth, the special United States Attorney of last spring, and will arrive in Colombia .TTThe latter part of the present wetk The preparation of the cases on the part o the government is said to be complete and it now looks cs if the trials will be began on Monday next. - And now let the hearts and hands of all Edgefieid men-yea, and women-be open The stirring appeal of Coonty Chairman Bettis is before you. Hasten forward with your contributions, and teach Emory Speer and all other wretched renegades that the people of Edgefieid stand by their fellows through thick and thin, and scorn to trem ble before Melton, Speer, or any or all minions of the Radical Federal Adminis tration. . Proud and Emphatic Success of the State Fair. The State Fair in Columbia, which clos ed on Friday afternoon last, after continu ing four davB, verified all predictions, and showed the most splendid exhibition and tie vastest crowd any South Carolina Fair | h ut ever had. A simple statement wilj prove the latter assertion. On Thursday -the great day-the gate receipts were $3,800, demonstrating a pay attendance of j 7,000 adults. Making a just allowance for children at half price, there were 8,000 .tickets sold. The exhibitors, attendants and members of the Society added at least a thousand to the list. A crowd of 9,000 people is large. And notwithstanding the crowding thousands that came from every quarter, everybody was provided for, and no one had cause to complain. Columbia spread herself for once in the way of fur nishing hospitable and generous accommo dations, and we think all will concede her fall and satisfactory success in the main. The mechanical and machinery depart m?nt was very full, and attracted a large others. The process of ginning cotton by improved machinery 6eemed to excite gen eral interest. VThe stock exhib?s was more than fine; Jjt -?ww>ia.Uj magnificent- The Jersey cattle attracted much attention and were universally admired. The number of this 'kind of stock is increasing and its valne and superiority were fully exemplified at this Fair. The poultry department was particular ly fine and extensive. The number and quality of fowls placed it in advance of j anything of the kind that has preceded it. The variety seemed almost endless, and all were surprised and delighted at the mag nificent display. The varieties exhibited by CoL A. P. Butler, of Edgefieid, and Mr. Pelham-Clinton, of Richmond, Va., received their just meed of praise. But it is vain for us to essay a protract ed account of this great Fair. To do it justice would require the whole of a daily paper for one solid week. All of the amusements were eminently beautiful and successful-the Governor's Guard 3 Hop, the Promenade Concert, the State Ball, the Japanese Pyrotechnics, the Grand Fire Works, the German of the South Carolina Club. All South Carolinians may well feel proud of the State Fair just closed. Chi Carolina, Cumberland Gap and cago R. R. The annual meeting of the Board of | Directors of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad was held in Aiken on Tuesday of last week. The meeting of the Stockholders was held on the following day. In our next issue we hope to be able to state definitely what was done at these meetings and to add something hopeful as regards the prospect8 of the early completion of the road. We learn that there are new and promising schemes a?oo?. Berckmans at Our State Pair. Mr. P. J. Berckmans, of the Fruitland r Augusta, made a splendid fruit and ornamental trees, o showed 46 varieties of evergreens, 74 varieties of apples, 46 varieties of pears, 31 varieties of peaches, besides quantities of pl un?s,' apricots, cherries, almonds and nectarines and Japanese persimmons, with the fruit of this tree also.- He showed a tree of tho Japanese persimmons only one year old bearing fruit. This is something very remarkable. No one raises the ever greens so extensively as Mr. Berckmansi and His collection here could not be sur passed in the United States. He was awarded eight premiums-one for the b2st collection of fruit trees, and best collection of apples, of peaches, of Japan ese persimmons, of pears and of miscel laneous fruits ; one premium for the larges! collection of evergreens and one for the best fruit of Japanese persimmons. In fact, Mr. Berckmans, as usual, took about all the premiums he contended for. Osceola. " Osceola," the Jersey bull exhibited at the State Fair by our young friend, Mr W. T. Butler, of the Hamburg section, was awarded the first premium in bis class ; and some of the very finest stock in South Carolina was shown against him. He is a magnificent animal, and would win first premiums anywhere. The Philadelphia Times says : u The two parties art now facing each other for the great conflict, with near ly even chancee of success. They are both on. trial, the Republicans with theiPresident and the Senate, and the Democrats with the House, and the party that serves the couti try best wiU best serve itself in the election of the next President."

The writer having been solicited by some of the members of Co. B, 6th S. C. Caval ry, to write a brief history of said compa ny, rwdially committed himself to under take this, to him very .onerous task onerous because he feels entirely incom petent to do justice to this command that made for itself a name which it has just cause to be proud of. We hope we will be pardoned if we here give a brief account of ourselves du ring the months of the late war, prior to our becoming a member of Co. B. Early m May, 1 SGI, the writer proceed ed, with the Edgefield Hussars, Capt. M_ C. Butler, as ?st Lieut, to Columbia 8. C., to join and become a part of the Hamp ton Legion. Remained with this lamons command until the May following. Our term of enlistment having ended, and our presence being much needed at home, we returned. In the month of July follow, ing, found ourselves a member of Capt. J. B. Holmes' Co. of State troops. In No I ve m ber were ordered to Charleston, was offered and accepted the position of Or derly Sergeant of said Co., which was let ter C, of the 7th Regt S. C. Reserves, Col.'Thoa, G. Bacon. . ' This Regiment servedits* term of 90 days near Jacksonboro, in Colleton Co. The writer on the disbanding of this Reg iment, offered, and was accepted, as a mem ber of Co. B, 6th S. C. Cavalry, Capt, Lewis Jones. Capt. Jones is toa well known in Edgefield to require any com ment from ?B. In the service of bis country, as in his State and County, he exhibited that same firm, decisive charac ter, and to the writer was ever kind and courteous. James J. Gregg was 1st Lieut. Lieutenant Gregg held himself too much aloof from his men to be popular with them. He, however, spared no pains in providing everything possible in the way of equipments, clothing and provisions foflj both men and horses, and hie own pleth oric purse waa always accessible to the humblest of bis men, for which he certain ly deserved the gratitude of the entire com mand. And, like the^maternal branch of j his family, he had plenty of " pluck. John Ward was 2d Lieut, and was suspended from tbe Company at the time we joined it. John Bau gk et was junior 2d Lieut Lieutenant Bausket was a member of the Edgebeld Hussars when we^were connect ed with it, and we bad tested bis qualities as a soldier while he was a private in the Hussars. As an officer he was frank, im pulsive and gallant to a fault He was very kind to his men and freely shared all their hardships and privations. But we expect hereafter, in these papers, to have much more to say of him. Samuel G Cot h ran was Orderly Sergeant ; and a most excellent officer and gentleman be was. On tbe 27th February, 1863, we, in company with several others, reported to Co. B. for dnty, and was formally muster ed into service. At this time the Com pany was encamped about one mile south of Jacksonboro, a station on the Charles ton and Savannah Railroad, and a few ???a'r?d^?rcls^?s^nSo'^ remainder of the Regiment were stationed at or near Adams' Run. Company B. did picket duty at Ben nett's Point, at the jonction of Ashepoo River and Musquito Creek, the latter tx stream of Edisto River. "The Point' was 15 miles or more from camp. Six teen privates and two non-comeisaioned officers composed the picket, who remain ed on duty a week at the time. The re serve picket were quartered at the aban doned residence of a Mr. Mathews, called the White House, and the plantation was known as '. Bear Island." On the 4th of j March, in company with Capt Jones, Lt Bausket and three enlisted men, I made my first visit to the " While House." We went down the Edisto in a small boat to take rations to the pickets, found them without provisions; they were roasting and eating corn. The land on " Bear Island" not being is cultivation the year previous, bad grown up, unmolested, in the most loxo nent and extravagant manner, in weeds and grass. The marsh grass was fonr to six feet high. On our return to camp next day, we saw heavy clouds of smoke rising, and the greedy flames too mount ing high in the air, rushing madly on this exceedingly combustible matter, pushed, it appeared, willingly by a vigorous March wind. It was a grand sight and must have been a fair representation of a fire on a western prairie. On the 8th of March was my first trip to Bennett's Point on picket James Briggs andi were on post from 1 o'clock P. M. until 12 at night I quote from a letter of the 10th written at the "White House." "A strong wind prevailed, which caused the waters to be much agi tated, and during the long hours that we were on watch we heard no sound save the rushing wind and angry waves madly washing the banks. Al 12 o'clock we were relieved and tried to sleep, bnt our )ed (a plank) soon became very hard, and he wind began to slacken. Then we were ?esieged by a swarm of sand flies, so called tere. But they appear to be the same in ect that we call " black gnats," These nsects were annoying in the extreme. One night roll himself up in a blanket, or any hing else, as close ag possible, and they rould yet penetrate and find bis blood, s ot bing bnt smoke or a heavy wind would Irive them away. On light nights and londy days they were very numerous and onoying. IJ Beside these, there were countless num-1 ] jtrs of mjfquitoes, ticks, fleas and red tugs. No one could find time to be idle j { lany moments, day or night I can im gine now that I see W, H. M. "fleaing'' |1 is blanket, which he was certain to do | ach day. So if we did not meet with the ,'ankees often, we bad to combat all these ' isects, and also the miasma of the swamps. 3 0 this add our heavy picket duty, and ( ur pleasures were quite limited. 1 notice in one of my letters that I was a duty five nights out of nine. "On Son ay the boys killed an alligator 6} feet >ng ; they saved the hide for leather, leard to-day that there was some light 1 rirmishing in camp yesterday (the 9;b) * etween Lienta.

They were provided with a good ap of this State and ol this coast conn y, which most of us were mncb interest in studying. South-west of os, acroes sbepoo river, we learned was Hutcbin son's Island, and to the East, acrofs Mus quito Creek, was Forge'reon's. After in specting the captured ecoats, we returned to finish up tie bee tjee. The bees were very spiteful, but our rations were out, and we were not to be thwarted by trifles, BO we succeeded in getting pretty well sweetened. My sweet, however, was made bitter by getting a laige hole burned in my coat-quite a calamity ! Returned to camp on Sunday, 15th, feel ing quite "wolfish," as we had been with out meat for 48 hours." (To be Continued ) The Town of sumter tn Flames. [Special to the News andOourier,] SUMTER, November 15.-At 7:30 to-night the fire alarm struck in Ward No. 4, corner of Liberty and Main street. The wind was blowing from the northwest and the Ure rapidly spread. . The burnt district includes on Main street Barret's store, occu pied by M. F. Hewson ; Morris's clothing store; Pate, general mer chandise : Hoyt, jewelry ; Scaffe, hardware; Mason, jewelry ; Delorme, druggist ; Snares, furniture; Bogin, general merchandise ; and on Liberty street, Phceay, g?rerai merchandise, O'Connor, bakery and residence, and Maxwell, general merchandise. At this writing, 10 p. m., the fire is still raging. Already the loss will reach some $40,000. I cannot yet estimate the insurance or indicate how far the fire will extend, o. K. A Conflagration tn Laurens. [Special to the News and Courier.] LAURENSVILLE November 15 - The Continental Hotel, with its furniture and three stores of the Traynbam & Dial block, were burned down this morning, the alarm being given at 6, a. m. Br. Martin's stock, under the Continental Hotel, was con sumed. The stock of Reedy & Bleak ley, McGhee & Gilkerson and Trayn ham & Dial were partially saved. There was partial insurance divided &B?ween eight companies. The cauee of'the fire is unknown, but it began in Martin's store. Praise of the col ored men's work is on every tongue. Toe Georgia '< sapphira." Mr. Emory Speer, says the News & Courier, who is to assist Mr. Melton in the political prosecutions, is known in hie own State as Sapphira Speer, and the Macon Telegraph has this to eay about him : "Of course 'Sapphira' will go, and ' Sapphira' may return with hie pockets loaded, but with much of the conceit taken out of him. There are gentlemen at the South Carolina Bar capable of taking care of the impu dent ' Sapphira.' " When Congress meets some Caro lina member will inquire into this business of Set jy and ' Sapphira.' The question will be raided as to why an officer appointed to attend to pub lie business in Georgia, and paid tor the same, is sent to South Carolina, where there ie a District Attorney ot ability and experience. And it will be the doty of some Representative from Georgia to see that a clause ?B put in the Appropriation bill to keep Be nj y t/CBl'dMhUl.ng the public ?UuJa with free hands to bis particular pets. " To the Bar and gen* ral public of South Carolina we can commend 1 Sapphira* as being eminently un worthy of their respect and attention. Daring the last session of Congress a correspondent described the touch ing scene of the inebriated Benjy Brewster and the truculent 1 Sapphira' embracing on the floor of the ti ouse. This is the sequel." Arrival of tarp. Fish Commissioner Huske is in re ceipt cf 15,000 young carp from Washington, which he will distribute among those who have applications on file, at the rate of twenty fish to each applicant. Those fc!:"?e appli cations were first received ..ill be first Berved. There will remain about 300 applications which cannot be supplied out of the present shipment, but Mr. Huske hopes soon to obtain another supply sufficient to satisfy all demands. He requests the Register to state that it will be useless for any one to apply specially for carp from the present shipment, as be intends to distribute themas above indicated. -Register. Mie tendency of the human mind to underestimate the cotton crop is a curious discussion in commercial jour nals. Underrating the cotton crop has cost Southern speculators many millions of dollars, and the end is not yet Mr. Barnum reluctantly coufesaes that the profits of " the greatest show on earth" last year were $700,000. The circus businees is coming up, and will soon rival journalism as a pro fession.
