y VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 2111. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 21. 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEARV; THE FAIRS OF THE SEASON. THE HARVEST HOME OATHEBINGS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. An Attractive List of Announcements Preparations for the State and County Exhibition?. The season for fairs bas again returned? and In most of tne counties of the old Palmetto btate are heard the notes of busy preparation for the recurrence of those social, pleasant and profitable reunions, which from time imme? morial have marked the "harvest home" ot whole commnnliles together, and aptly cele? brated that gracious mood of old Mother Earth when she smilingly outpours her wealth ot burled treasure to gladden the hearts of men. In snob a State SB South Carolina, whoso agricultural resources are her largest wealth and main d?pendance, lt ls not only eminently natara! but most desirable that these a annal reunions of her planters should not only be continued, but zeal? ously SUB tain ed and generously loitered by all who el aim an Interest in her prosperity. The county, neighborhood and State exhibi? tions ol art, mechanics, Industry and house? wifery are among the most practically useful of our ram aluin g custom?, because they afford the readiest means for that interchange of opinions and experience, and that acquire? ment of new ideas and methods needed to make industry the most remunerative. They are also worthy of liberal encouragement^ viewed wholly irom a social standpoint Nothing ls more natural and few things more fortunate for humanity than the fact that, at the close of the harvest, when the fruits of the season's Industry are returned for our en? joyment, the gregarious instinct ls strong upon us, and we long to get together, clasp the hands of old friends, and, looking Into their faces, ask them the simple, but hearty and comprehensive formula, "How do yon do ?" This opportunity fdr the greet? ing of old frlendB and forming of new ac? quaintances ls a pleasant annual mile-stone In the tourney ol life, and It alone is worth the trouble and expense attending th? annual ex? hibition. Then there are the pleasant con? gratulations of successful friends, the helping hand extended to less thriving neighbors, and the' frank comparison of the results of the year, with ita accompaniments ot Innocent mutual admiration and general felicity. For another large and excellent class of lalr-goers there are the multiform attractions of the race course, and In no State Is there to be found more thorough gentlemen of the turf, more gallant sportsmen, or more genuine haters el the blackguard tricks which elsewhere are killing out the old gentlemanly sporting spirit than in the State of South Carolina, the home of Alston, McPherson, Hampton, (sire and son,) Fen wlcke, Can tey, Sumter, t Ingleton, Hink? ler and the Smiths, the Taylors and the Rich? ardsons- ! It Is no excuse to say that In these later days, through the mutations that the gallant old State has been called on to endure, the racing park has fallen into disuse and the Jockey club has passed away. It ls .the duty ot this generation to revive the spirit and the sport, and to gratify the hope expressed lo years gone by, by a well remembered writer (?JMnself a gallant sportsman of South Caroli? na,) that the race week would "ever continue to be an agreeable time-a carnival, a bright landmark of the year-a loadstone that will j draw together friends and acquaintances, and kindred spirits from a distance-youth ! gladdened and maturer age rejuvenated by I its recurrence-all its days fair and cloudless (no matter whether lt rains heavily or not,) cheered by the light and warmth of the kean's sunshine-the sunshine that ls with? in." Tb? State F .lr. 'The first ol the fairs In size and importance, although not In the order of occurrence, ls the fourth annual fair of the State agricultural and Mechanical Society, which will be held on the spacious Fair Grounds of the society at Columbia, beginning on the 4th and ending on the evening of the 8th of November. The moat thorough preparations are now In pro? gress for this event, under the general control et General Hagood and Colonel Aiken, and lt ls confidently promised that the fair this year will exceed in size and attraction any similar exhibition that has been made In South Caro? lina since the war. Extensive additions and Improvements have been made to the fair buildings, and both exhibitors and visitors will find th? buildings, booths, Btoek quarters, music pavilion, race park, grand ataud, Ac., tnt in the moat perfect repair, and ail arranged with a carelul view for the convenience of all concerned. The premium lists in all the de? partments are larger and better arranged than ever before, and the racing programme 1B un? usually attractive and Important. The names of the several departments and of the gentle? men appointed as superintendents are as follows: Field crop department-W. M. Shannon. Stock department-Cattle, J. E. Yance; bones, J. M. Williams. Household department-J. M. Baxter. Fruit, garden and tree department-A. D. Frederick. Manufacturing department-J. B. Palmer. Needle and fancy work department-W. G. Whllden. Mechanical department-James McCutchen. Fine art and literary department-J. H. Boo. The programme for the fair will be published In a few days. The Abbeville Fair vies i ?j importance and attractiveness with that of the State society just mentioned. It ls under the auspices of the Abbeville Agri? cultural Society, of which Colonel D. Wyatt Alleen is president, and lt ls to be held at Ab? beville Courthouse, October 30th and 31st, and November 1st. The society owns a flue fair ground, and have always given exceed? ing pleasant and credMble exhibitions. The arrangements this y ear are an ample guarantee ot success, the premium list ls large and well selected, and the prospect is that the Abbe? ville lair will be one of the largest and finest ot the season. The Peedee Fair ls a comparatively new enterprise, which has been established by the gentlemen of Chester? field and Marlboro' Counties o? this State, and Anson County, North Carolina, and ls Intend? ed as a central exhibition for the wholo upper Peedee section. It ls to be held In Cheraw, beginning to-morrow, the 23d instant, and . continuing three days, and lt promises to be a greater success than Its most sanguine friends et first anticipated. Ample grounds have been purchased in the western suburbs of the to wc from the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad Company, and a substantial and Imposing edi? fice erected. The grounds have been cleared ?p, enclosed and beautified, and will afford ample accommodation to all who wish to enter articles for exhibition or visit the grounds for pleasure. The people of three counties are competing In generous ri? valry with each other to swell the list of arti? cles OD exhibition; large numbers of blooded horses, fine mules, cattle, ?c., and agricultu? ral products, are expected. The ladies also are preparing to enter large numbers of arti? cles in every department ot household Indus? try, and lt ls supposed that the display in ma? chinery, agricultural implements, buggies, wagons, dec, will be full and satisfactory. The services of Mullera celebrated brass band of this elly have been secured, and in addition to playing on the fair grounds they will give a concert In ite town hall some evening during the lair. The Anderson Fair ls to be opened at Anderson Courthouse on the 30th Instant. The Intelligencer Bays: The preparations for the approaching coun? ty lair are being vigorously pushed. The con tractor. Colonel F. a. Hoke, 1B now erecting the main building, which will be a structure creditable alike to the town and county. It ls eighty feet long by lorty wide, and ls admi? rably arranged for the purpose ot an exhibi? tion. The entire building will be completed early next week. The enclosure will be made in the course of a week, and the trowing track graded in ample time. Everything will be In readiness for the opening of the lair on the 30th instant, and we trust that our far? mers are preparing to lend interest to the oc? casion by the exhibition of field crops; that the ladles are preparing an abundant variety for the household, domestic and fancy depart? ments, and that every one who tblnks there ls any chance for a premium In any ol the de? partments will contribute to swell the list of exhibitors far beyond any previous year. Tbe Barnwell Fair. . Later on In the season, on the 25th, 26th and 27th of November, ls to be held the fourth an? nual lair of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society of Barnwell. Arrangements have been made which promise to make lt a complete success, and a large and pleasant gathering of the people of the county ls expected during the gala week. The thirteenth race meeting of the Sherwood Jockey Club ls also to take place at Barnwell on the 28th and 29th of No? vember, with a well arranged list of purses amounting to several hundred dollars, and some fine running ls expected. This is by no means a complete list of the fair announcements for the season In this State, but lt inoludes tbe most important and those that are nearest at band,. and the rest will be announced from time to Hmo In ad? vance of their occurrence. Tbe Cotton States Fair. On Tuesday next, at Augusta, Ga., the third annual fair of the Colton states Mechanics' and Agricultural Fair Association will com? mence. Every preparation has been made to render this one of the most successful of all the expositions. The discouraging circum? stances that have attended the previous ex? hibitions have been met and done away with by the benevolence of the city; the premium list is large; experienced men have charge of ail the arrangements, and the hotels and ( boarding houses having bad an eye to baal- i nees,ample accommodations will be furnished , J to all strangers. The South Carolina Railroad | Company announce that tickets for the round i trip to Augusta and retnrn will be sold at 1 their various stations from now until the 26th J Instant. t The Fair of the Carolinas. CHARLOTTE, N. C., October 21. J The fair of the Carolinas opens here to- { morrow. Sixteen last race-horses have been t entered, and the fair promises to be a grand j success-the best ever held in North. Carolina. 8 If OT SO XC CH OF A DUEL. An Appeal to the Code In Savannah, J and What Came of it. The Savannah Advertiser contains along g account of an affair In that city last Saturday, a which at rim appeared to portend a hostile t meeting between two prominent gentlemen. * It appears that there had been a long, highly t interesting and unwontedly spicy correspond- t euee between Colonel William B. Gauideo, of i Liberty County, and William A. Way, Esq., of ? Tbomasvllle, published In the Advertiser dur- c lng last month. From the publicly expressed e opinion wbloh each seemed to entertain of the -other, man; Imagined that the matter in dlB- i pute between the parties would not be allow- c ed to rest upon the uncertain Issue of g the newspaper correspondence, and the L public momentarily expected the an- c nouncement of a rencontre between j them, or tbe more deliberate, if not c more decisive, appeal to the arbitra- t ment of the code. The time wore on, c however, without any new developments g until last Saturday morning, when on the ar- c rival of the Gulf train at Savannah Colonel t William B. Gaulden alighted therefrom. His n manner appeared to Indicate considerable ex- i alternent of some kind, while the formidable c double-barreled shot-gun, which waa the most r conspicuous Item ol his baggage, strikingly D suggested something more serious than a a strictly professional visit to the Forest City. ? After breakfasting and securing the ser- i, vices of a lrlend, Le repaired to t Screven's Ferry for the purpose of t a little meeting with Mr. Way, but that a gentleman did not put In an appearance, aud r the colonel returned home In the afternoon, f From what could be learned of the Immediate c causes mat led to the visit, lt appears that c Colonel Gaulden sent Mr. Way a challenge to t mortal combat, and came to Savannah with the i Intention and expectation ol meeting him at c Screven's Ferry, but Mr. Way having received t the challenge Informally had paid no attention c to it, and the gallant [colonel was compelled t therefore to return without an opportunity t tor his coveted target practice. BU GREAT CHARLESTON-HEW ENG- \ LAND COTTON ROUTE, < [From the Augusta caron tee and Sentinel, j 1 Messes.

Their latest demonstration ls i to avoid the dangers around Cape Cod to New i England, and so they "go for" Providence, i which is a sale and sheltered harbor twenty ] boure' nearer than Boston to the cotton States, i Ot course lt ain't as large an Idea as "Darwin's" | about the origin of the species, but cotton men are struck (about tbe pockets) with the ad- i vantages whiob come from putting a bale of : co ton through from Charleston to that ? way-off-youder cotton mill up on a branch ol - tbe Penobscot or Mattawanlkeag river, In .

A meeting of business men of Philadelphia ; was held at the Commercial Exchange to-day . to discuss the proposed Mssuanoe of forty four millions In legal tenders. The only busi? ness done was the submission ot resolutions by George Fox to the effect tbat business men of this city would endorse the continuance of Secretary Boutwell's former policy, viz : the purchase ot bonds from time to time to relieve the money market. The resolutions were re? ferred to a committee, to report at the next meeting lo be held at the call of the chairman of tho committee on resolutions. THE TRADE OF THE YEAR. A CHEERING REVIEW OF THE COM MERCIAI, SEASON. The Southern Trade In a Moat Prosp?r? ons Condition-A. Fair Promise of Bet? ter Times to Come. * [brom tbe Kew York Tribune.] Although considerable trade ls done by wholesale dealers o? this oity with the South throughout the entire year, the Southern mer? chants generally buy moat largely in the fall, when they come North In large numbers. Be? gining about the last of July, the busy term continues through the two months following, reaching KB height during September, though many goods are sold for some time afterward. The bulk of the purchases for this season have now been made, however, and a review o? this fall's,trade furnishes some interesting facts concerning the condition ol business af? fairs in the Southern States. Accounts from leading houses In various branches ot trade show that, notwithstanding the distraction from business attendant upon a Presidential canvass, the sales to Southern merchants have been, in most lines of goods, heavier than dur? ing any year since the war, the Southward going steamers carrying full cargoes every trip. Furthermore, there ls a marked change In tbe character of the goods purchased, there beings greater demand than heretofore for a superior quality in all staple wares, aa well as for articles of a belter class. Thus the dealers In dry goods state that they are selling this fall the higher grades ot muslins, prints, dress goods, &c, much more extensively than In previous years, while their customers are in? vesting ld expensive goods with considerable more freedom. Southern merchants report that lhere is a waking up among their people ia buBlBess matters, and that me people are paying more attention to the proper sup,-ly of their wants. In the past, persons would simply send their orders to a store without questioning as to the quality or price of the things desired, whereas now ibey carefully consider these points, and the service, re? quired, and endeavor to obtain the goods which will best fulfil their wants. Among the colored people a noticeable change In thia respect Is taking place. They are beginning to eviHce less taste for showy, flimsy goods, tod are learning to seek what will prove most substantial. In the Yankee notions trade the lealers report the same state of things. Wi tn increased sales bas come a better de? mand for various goods which have heretofore 'onod a light market In the Southern States, while a falling off ls noticed in trifling wares. In regard to hardware, a Bindiar change ls >erceptlble, especially In the purchase ot arti? lles tor builders' and farmers' use. These lave been bought more extensively and of a ouch, filgber quality than heretofore, and som prise .a full stock of improved tools and uraishlngs. The demand for a bettrr class ot sarpentera' tools and builders' hardware vould ae ?m to betoken great progress td tbe Banner of building, In which considerable ictlvlty ls Bald to prevail. The trade in this Ine la confined principally lo builders' and armers' hardware and cutlery, though a general assortment ot other things is required .0 complete sr dealer's stock. In making their mrobases of these goods, many Southern merchants have begun to avoid middlemen, and now buy directly from the manufacturers >r their agents In many cases, so that tbey nay Bave all commissions. The Southern .rade In agricultural Implements ls always somewhat dull at this lime of the year; mt lt ls evidently falling away from this narket, though the use ot the . Imple nenta ls increasing ench year. This 1B ?used largely by the tact that agricultural nachlnery ls generally bulky and expensive o transport, and a number ot factories have >een started in various cities ot the South lor he manufacture of cotton elna and presses, ?loughs, it c. In the qualliy of-Imp icm en ts ised by the Southern larmer8 and planters here does not seem to be, as far as can be earned from tbe dealers, much improvement, bough belter articles are making their way lowly. For Instance, the plough commonly lougbt for the South ls small and rough, turn ng a very shallow furrow, and sells at a rifling price compared with that of the im uYmt-nis Intended for Northern and Western narkeia. In seeds, however, there appears to ie an advance both lo the quantity and quality old. This trade is at its nelght later in the eason, but leading seedsmen report that the endency ls to raise a greater range ot crops, 'specially of productions for home consump lon, and that a desire ls*evldent among many o obtain the best varieties. Along the ooa?t he sale of garden seeds has been especially arge during the past year, the growth of pro luce for the New York market having be orne a considerable industry lo places within lasy transportation distance of this city. In the wholesale drug business the tali trade ias just closed. A prominent house ot the itv reports an Increase ot forty per ct-nt in louthern sales over those ot last year, and his despite a tailing off of twenty-five per ent on South Carolina sales, largely due to ?u-Klux legislation and the like. A member if this house states that the fall in cotton and he Ananda! difficulties In the South tn 1867 feared away a large class ot adventurous aeronauts, and left business In the hands of nen of a more substantial order, who seem his season to have oleared off both the Habit? ues left by the war and those which accumu ated during the 1867 crisis. They also seem to ie at present on an unusually healthful basis, laying a larger proportion of cash, and giving letter paper for the remainder. Having trav? eled considerably In the South, he ls of opln on that this improved aspect ot affairs ls argely due to the agricultural prosperity of be past three years, as contrasted with dull imes Immediately preceding. In the whole ale grocery business, Southern sales are re? torted by a prominent house to have Increased rom thirty-three to fifty per cent over those if last year. About the same proportion of ash payments seemed to prevail as heretofore, tut a good deal of stir and enterprise was man fested. A large boot and shoe nous? which teals almost exclusively with the South states bat Its trade bas improved much. In the Bale >t hides, leather and findings, a prominent louse reports that business with lt ls much he Bama as for some lime past. Customers ire kept on rather snort time, but pay pretty iromptly. A large Broadway bat, cap and fur iBtabllBhment, which confines Itself almost sxcluslvely to the Southern market, reports in increase of twenty per cent, or more in Its tales. A gentleman travelling for tbe house, jf large acquaintance with the South, declares .hat, with the exception of South Carolina md Louisiana, there is a wonderful exhibition }f business industry and enterprise there The States In whloh this la especially manifest ire Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi; 3eorgla being most prominent In this dlrec Clon, Texas next, and so on. In some ot the States-as Texas-a large Increase of immigra don (in part from the States where martial law ls most active) has added to the popula? tion, which, in part, explains the enlarged ouslness. But aside from this, there Is a great waking up of the whites to a sense of the fact that they can only prosper by the most vigo? rous personal effort. Accordingly there is a greater economy, and greater personal super? vision of business. The last crop is said to be the cheapest produced of any yet raised at the ?outh. By these means there has been a great jlearlng off of individual debts, with most healthful resuus. Better personal habits are siso growing. The negroes wear shoes lo nimmer rather than ge barefoot, and neat? ness and quality In dress are cultivated. The failure ot untrustworthy houses, the return of business to substantial firms, and the recent resumption of business by old merchants who vere previously occupied in settling up their war and other obligations, have also helped the change. In conclusion, lt may be said that the South? ern trade is in a most prosperous condition. While their purchases are large the Southern dealers, as a general thing, ask for short cred? its and meet their obligations with prompt? ness. One leading house In Its line stated that the longest time given to any of Its customers was sixty days, and that many bought on only thirty. The causes operating to produce such a flourishing state of business affairs In the Southern States, notwithstanding the burdens which their corrupt and profligate govern? ments have placed upon them, are unusually large crops of all kinds, making money plen? tiful, and |an ^exuberant feeling ot life pro? duced by the expectation of better times to come. Then, too, though extravagant run? ning expenses entail heavy taxes upon them, the full weight of their debts ls not yet felt In many of the States, since they are mainly In the shape of bonds, of which only the inter- ) est ls to be met at present. In South Caro I lina, however, where the effect or maladmin? istration has come home most quickly, the condition ot business ls far different. The wretched slate ol affairs, geoerally, has unset? tled her trade to a considerable extent, and her dealers are inclined to bay cautiously, or? dering in small lots and usually mr cash. Ii is the opinion of persons conversant with mat? ters in the South that were the State gov? ernments reorganized, and honest, faithful officials substituted for the present ones, the Southern States would make steady progress In every direction. It IB alBO affirmed that the probability of a change of ad ministration, with the prospect of the pursuit of a different poli? cy toward the South, has already done much to awaken the people to greater activity.

Jimmy O'Brien Scook Up-Congression? al Nominations-I'rnndt's Second Ap? pearance-Thc English Lecturers tn Boston-A Controversy Among the Baptists-Lacea Ina New Character. [FROM ODB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, October 19. Tbe local politicians are all at sea again In consequence of tbe unexpected withdrawal of ex-Mayor Havemeyer trom the mayoralty coDtest. Tbe commit iee of seventy and the German Democrats bad resolved to tender him the nomination, w;ien they were met by the letter ot declinados. It in said tbat Mr. Havetnpypr realized at last what was patent to almost everybody elie, that bis nomination by the Republicans wai only a blind; that ihe Customhouse managem meant really io assist O'Brien, and that they wanted to nee a respec? table name In a straight nomination to keep decent Republicans fiom straying away to Lawrence. The O'Brien men are betting heavily, giving odds, that their chief will be elected mayor ol New York. If the Reform elements do not combine on Mr. Lawrence, who Is the regular Democratic and Liberal Republican candidate, the prospects are that the roughs will have their wish. The past week bas bi en devoted by the fac? tions in New York and Brooklyn to tbe nomi? nation ot candidates foe Congress. Fernando Wood, James Brooks aid the Fenian Colonel Roberts, bave all secured renominations in the city districts. lu the Ninth District Michael Connolly, popularly known as "the Sig Judge." has recehed the Tammany and Liberal Republican nominations. He ls a veteran politician, an ex-pollce Justice, and a great favorite in Irish quarters. It weis he who ran against O'Brle J tor sheriff four years ago, and alter receiving a majority of the votes was counted out. Physically hu la one of the largest men lu the city.

He ls In a close district, aud If the Democrats do not nominate a strong man, has a good chance to surceed. You know of this general lu Charleston. He helped to reconstruct you aftei the war. He ls the name plausible, glib anil nicely dressed young person, and the darling of the ladles. Mr. Froud?, last evening, delivered the second or his course of lectures on the history of Ireland, the subject belog ''Ireland under the Tudors and Stuarts." Toe audience was large, and he was ireqtiently applauded. Sev? eral of the mo rn Inc papers report ?UM lecture In full. Its view of the controversies be? tween the two Kingdoms ls so decidedly Eng? lish in blas that lt car. hardly be read by ar? dent Irishmen without raising their choler. Tbe apprehension mentioned by Mr. Fronde as having been entertained by some of hi* per? sonal friends that he wou'd be mobbed by the Celtic population ot New York may not ne realised, but tbe lectores cannot fall to oall out a host of defenders for Ireland, some of whom will mi soruple to handle the 8uxon champion without gloves. Already the Rev. Tom Burke, the eloquent prient from aero? the water, who Is sii. mplng the country for lome charitable purpose, has given Mr. Froude a slap, and promises ta take him up and d?s? onos him. Protestor Tyndall has gone to Boston to begin his solentiflo lectures, and will not re? turn to New York uni 1 atier the Presidential elect'on.

The Biptlst theologians in this city and neighborhood are plunged agnin Into their old controversy about- '.'open communion." The Rev. Mr. Pentaoost, of the Hanson Square Baptist Church In Brooklyn, has been keeping i he Lord's Table open to all comers, and han been summoned by church organization In Brooklyn to answer for the violai loo of what the ClO?e commun onlsta contend ls the settled principle ol the church. Mr. Pen Caco?t weQt before the ecclesiastical court on Thursday and made a bold and defiant speech. A debate of great vigor followed, but when a vote was reached the resolution of oensure was lost by a decided majority. Mr. Pentacost's practices have attracted the notice of brethren outside of the oily, and have drawn upon bim the anathemas of M?\ Fulton, the B-ipi 1st Pope In Boston. Tue Rev. Way? lan! Hoyt, ot tbe Strong Piace Baptist Churcn. of Brooklyn, one of tn? moi-t aisilfigul*hed men of the d?nommai lon, though a clop? com munlonlBt, bas written a sharp letter of r?-piy to Mr. Fulton, ohldlog him fur bis uncharita? bleness to "one ot the loveliest Chrisiian brethren In the world," and snggesiing that an apology from him is In order. It ls not probable that the controversy will eod here, for Mr. Fulton believes In the church militant and manages to keep himself In bot wal or continuously. He was one of the bit? terest of the war preachers during our late unpleasantness. Lucca will next appear In Don Giovanni, that opera which Is tne duty ot all and the pleasure ot few to hear.

The London Civilian thus laments: No lady Is ever punctual, no lady ever yet had the re? motest idea ot the duration of five minutes, or an hour, or any other longer or shorter (?pace of time. Indeed, the Bupreme indifference of women lo a matter whion men are taught to regard as of vital Importance, at once stamps the superior sex as above and oeyond the control of mere conventional rules. Men's actions are governed by time; lt ls the most Important element whloh enters Into business calculations. The wild rush ot the locomotive ls governed and Its safety assured bj atten? tion to time. Time for the male animal de? notes the position of a ship upon the ocean, or lt tells the traveller bis patu In tbe track? less desert. But a woman ls always above the vulgar aids which are lound Indispensable by the mere animal man. Time never enters Into her calculations, or occupies a Bingle mo? ment of her thoughts. She is always late when she keeps an appointment. She devotee precious hours to dressing, and will any day lose a train for the sake of putting on ber gloves. The odd thing ls that ene never thinks ot tne Irritation wnlon she causes by her disre? gard for the rules ot punoin-d ty. A gentle? man who grumoles because he has bad to walt an hour wnlle the lair object ot his affections ls putting on her bonnet la "a brute." Time Indeed passes with wonderful quickness while the fair one Is displaying her ribbons before the glass, or trying the effects of color or the grace of fold ot some new addition to her wardrobe. We are quite willing to allow that the lault of non-punctuality, If it be indeed a fault, ls one of a very venial character. The aberrations of the feminine mind, like the movement ol the spheres, admit of some ap? proach to calcu at iou; and although the most experienced observer may somet? mes fall to tell what portion of her orbit a lady may oc? cupy at any given hour of the day, he may make a pretty accurate guess sometimes by the aid of the useiul rule of contraries. i THE FRAUDULENT BOND QUESTION. Rumors of an Important Test Cate to ba Brought into the Court*. [8PJ50LAL TELEGRAM TO TBS NEWS.] COLUMBIA, October 21. Io pursuance of an act, of the last General Assembly abolishing tbe office of State audi? tor "en and after tbe general election of 1872," Governor Scott this morning Issued an order to State Auditor Gary, directing him to turn over the boobs and papers of bis office ta the comptroller-general, by whom the duties ol both offices are to be performed here? after. ? It ls rumored that Compl roller-General Neagle, whose duty it ls now made to levy all taxes ordered by the General Assembly, ls about to levy a special tax (as directed by the "validating bill" of last winter) to pay the In? terest on the public debt, and that this action ls to be taken at the desire of the Governor elect. Hoses, who will then proceed to sue out an Injunction restraining the collection of ihe tax for interest upon the six millions of con? version bonds now supposed to be out, so as to bring the whole question of their legality to a pqnare irene before the courts. This removal and these rumors cause great excitement in both political and financial circles. Some say that tbe Bing have not even waited for the eleotion returns to be re? ceived before they show the cloven foot, and that the whole scheme Is simply meant to bull the bonds, by which the Bing will realize handsomely. There are no additional election returns of any Interest The heavy Bidlcal vote in Edgefield bas destroyed Hr. Barnwell's chances for election as solicitor ot this cir? cuit, and Bunkle, the Regular Radical candi? date, Is now tbonght to be elected by six or seven hundred majority. SALUDA. CROPS IS ANDERSON. [FBOM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] PENDLETON, October 17. Our crop of wheat waa more than an average for the land sown; oats almost a failure; corn and cotton a full average, probably un per cent, on the last year's production; some nut lo our cotton, whioh seemed to i>e rather a benefit than injury, by checking the rapid growth of weeds and causing an early opening of the bolls. In rusted fields tbere will be but little yellow cotton, but the late frost will sialn a portion of crops not so fully matured. The fall bas been very favorable for gathering in crops. The first light frost was on Wednes? day, the 2d, thermometer at 44; rain on the 7th;aool nights to 14tb; another light frost, thermometer 44; but on the 16ih a sere, and Ice in all standing 'small bodies ot water, thermometer 32.
