Woleam from tho Columbia eor? respondent of the Charleston AVw*, that the State. board- of canvassers met in that city on Friday last and disposed of all the reports submitted to them except those from Charleston and Chesterfield. The official returns allow that the total vote is as follows: yoa GOVERNOR. Scott, Radical.......... ,,.,,84,475 j Carpenter, Reform, 50,104 > 4 Scott's majority, ...34,371 ton LIKUTEN'ANT-GOVEttXOB. Hansier, Radical, 83,998 Bailer, Reform,,,,50,441 Ransicr's majority, ,.33,557 . This majority,* in the case of both Scott and Ransipr, will bo reduced aboat 400 by^the-actioa of the board! in t&e cape of Chesterfield ana Spartanburg, and about 2,000 by; their action in regard to Charleston County. The result in the Congressional district* Is M follows: ' *" '* mST DISTRICT. Pndley, Befbrra, 11,430 JKainey, Eadical, 20,200 ? 81C0HD DISTMOT.

A similar aelion of the StateC anvas6ers wiU* Reference to the report of the commissioners of Chesterfield County, gives thai county also to the Reformers by a small majority.

Well-marited Success of the Society. In another eolumn we publish lists of the premiums awarded at the late Fair, which so well sustained the re. putation of old Abbeville, the banner District, and furnished suoh hopeful auguries for the future of her industrial progross and material development. i In tho bustle, oonfusion and hurry of the past week, our notice of the Fair was necessarily brief and imperfect, and it is now almost too late in the day to do full justice to its many attractive features and praiseworthy characteristics?to which the energy and enterprise of tho Committees in charge, and the public spirit and liberality of the people generally, alike contributed. The Committees did their full duty !.? twnrib- r\f Tkrflnn.rAt.inn. and BU til VUV W? I#. ?? ? ?^ porintendance. Selecting one of the most romantic spots in the up-country, enclosing an area of six acres, erecting a large two-story building, patting up one hundred stalls, and making all other preparations in a style equally commensurate, they were ready to give a fitting reception to the influx of gay visitors, and imposing array of rich contributions, which camo in from this and the adjoining Districts. I Of those contribQtions wo shall not i attempt to speak; in dotail. Competent judges pronounco the exhibition of horses to have been magnificent? comprising the most beautiful specimens of donhlo and single draft, saddle horses, brood marcs, colts fillies, geldings and ponies; among which the distributors of the blue and red ribbons ' found it diffioalt to decide. The cattle display afforded a most creditable exKiKitmn nf 'Rrn.limins. Durhams. Aver shires, Aldeneys, and grades of every name and variety; whilst among tho sheep, pare bloods and grade Merinoes, afforded an attraotjve exhibition. A fat hog of four haodrod pounds headed the column of .his swinish brethren, where Essex and Berkshire, and other crossings competed for the prizus. In the field-crop department; the comparative excellence of the exhibition is seen in tho fact, that tho entries of the present year were 140 against 48 of the past year. Grasses of every variety, grain of every degree of exopllenoe, potatoes, turnips, cabbages, cotton of silky texture, made up a mo<rt Attractive exhibition. In the household department, tho whitest of bread, the nicest of butter, the most deliciona of jellies, jams, preserves and pickles?the best flavored of wines?appealed equally to tftije and sight. s Specimens of ladies' handiwork, paintings in oil, drawings in crayon, photographs, and other exhibitions of artistic skill, added the attractions of the beautiftil and ornamental, to the solid and soberrhued features of tho' scene. But the prowping attraction of a}!, mob kmv nf anpnbit.nrfl itself? ! WHO VUW Wt??y such aa array as few Districts can equal and none surpass?lovely ladies, decked in all the brilliant and varied tints of the autuiun costumcs, and supported by fathers and husbands, and brothors and lovers?tho solid men of Abbeville. And to j:dd to }hc beauty of the scene, were many fair flowers from tho mountain Districts. of the exhibition, we learo, the openly expressed admiratiaivof President Bash, of the G. & C.

It is now one of tho institutions of our District, and fs detttinod to do a good work, in the way of ro&toratioa and reenperation.

He cordially appaeciates, an<kheartily reciprocates tho kind congratulations of his friends, including those of his bhfthren of the press. 'gjfc " I III II Sale of Government Lands. Wo learn from Mr, Andrew Small Auctioneer, that on Monday of th( tost week, heisOld public out-cry aboqt, three thousand. acres of Gov ernment land, known as the Marshal tract, in this District, at prieei ganging from 1(10 00 to $30.0( per acre. The lands were divided in to homestead lots of from fifty to oni hundred acres cach. Terms, $10 cash for certificate, and the remainder oi a credit of from three to fonr yeare The purchasers were all freedmen Thoro wero some three hundred pres ent, and there was still a laefc of land 'l Am? mo t\\r IVi lUHkJJ t Tbo Greenville Coach and Wagoi Manufactory of Messrs. Gower, Co: & Markloy was well represented a our Fair last week, and took pre iniuina for their buggies and wagons They had on exhibition fbur buggie and two wagons: one very fin double seated buggy with fine pole am shafts, prico $229; one fine to] buggy, $260; one.fino open buggj $185; and one plain buggy to suit th timco, 8130. This catablishroen having been operation for thirty-fiv years, and having deservedly carnoi and sustained a high character fo their work and fair dealing, will ui doubt receive an increase to the ver liberal patronage heretofore extonde* to them. TUeir wagons are too wel and favorably.known to require com mont from us. We are glad to loarn that tbe^ have taken stock in oar Sooioty an< trust that tbey will contiuue theii contributions. The Hop.?Tho Hop at the Fcmali Academy on Wednesday of .Fail week, was quite a pleasant affairwas well attonded, and furnished mucl enjoyment to the young and pleasure seeking of both soxes. Many fuii visitors and gallaot gontlem<?n cam* from a distance to grace tlio occasior with their presence; and Abbevillo i as a matter of course, furnished hei full proportion of her youth, beauty and intolligenco. Thoro was indeec no crowned "quoen of beauty," t( fbrm tho solo ''cynosuro of neighbor log eyes," but many a fair one bj natural right assorted her powor te charm. Tho music was good, and tho dancing gave zest to tho gener al enjoyment In facb tho IIop wai quite tho thing?a decided success. A Good Word for the Freedom Wo are gratified to hear from on< of our merchan ts. that tho frecdmer of our District are pay'mg off theii liens like men, and aro thus beginning anew with fair records and improvec credit. Wo trust that there are bu; few exceptions to tho remark, anc commend the example to the imitatior of all, both white and colored. It ii a stern necessity which forces manj to go into debt, but nothing will ox cuso one, who knowingly contractsob ligations which ho has no means o discharging. He is littlo better thai a felon. A regard to plighted fait J is one of the first elements of tru< | manhood. Notice to our Patrons.
