We extract from the Charleston JTeiM a condensed statement of the population of ourStatc, obtained from . advanced 6bects of the United States census returns of 1870. The population now, is compared with that at three previous decennial periods, 1860, '5o and '40. That of Abbeville in these periods respectively, is 31,129, 32,385 32,318, 29,387?that of tho State, 705,606, 703,708, 668,507, 494,398. Of tho 705,606 souls forming the total population of South Carolina) - _ .1 o t\rA 697,532 are native corn, anu o,v<-? uic foreign bom. But 16,449 of our citizens have ono or both parents foreign. In addition to the whito and colored population, South Carolina boasts o" 124 Indians, an increase of 36 and has only 1 Heathen Chinee. From 1840 to 1850 the population ol th'o State increasad 74,109, or 12.46 per cent., and from 1850 to 1860 the increase was 35,201, or 5 26 per cent; but the ten years ending in 1870 ? covoring the period of the Confederate lyar?show an increaso of only 1,898 or 26 per cent. To account for this result, we have tbo abnormal' mortality caused by the war, the diminished number of births during the i war, and-tho emigration from the( State after the war. ; * * Taking tho population by conn ties, ts compared with I860, there is a a small increase - of population in ChoBtcr, Clarendon, Marion, Greenville and Laaeastcr, a fair increase in Anderson, Edgefield and York, and a largo increase in Barnwell,"Darlington 4nd Horry. Richland County, including the City of Columbia, gains 4.718, and Charleston County gains 18,763. Williamsburg is neither richer nor poorer, having precisely the same population 04 m I860. The counties of Abbeville, Chesterfield, Laurens, xsewbocry Spartanburg and Sumter have How a smaller population than they had iu 1850, but the. decrease in Sumtor is accounted for by the creation of Clarendon County out of her torritory botweon 1850 and ^1860?during the last decade Sumter has increased in ? - * - * *"> /? a population. 'JL'be counties 01 i>eatuurb, Colleton, Fairfield, Georgetown,. Ker?haw and Orangeburg have a smaller population than they had thirty years ago. ' As compared with 1840, Beaufort loses 5,694, Colleton 16,506,; Georgetown 5; 144, and Orangeburg 8,031. | Tho white population of Abbeville in the four periods respectively is 10,916,11.516 12,699, 13,880,?of tho State. 289,667, 291,300, 274,563/259,084. The white population of tho State, from 1840 to 1850 increased 15,479, cr percent., and from 1850 to 1860 increased 16,737, or 6.09 per cent., but from 1860 to 1870 decreased l,baa, or 0.56 per cent. The most striking change is in Orangeburg County, whose loss from 18G0 to 1870 was 29 por cent; Abbeville, Beaufort, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Laurens, Newberry, Orangeburg, Spartanburg and . Union have a smaller white population tkan in 1-840. In tho following Muffled counties the white population shows a steady#increase throughout the four decennial periods?Anderson, Barnwell, Greenville, Horry, Lancaster Marion, Bichland, Williamsburg and York. The colored population of Abbeville, ' ia tho three decennial periods is 20,213, 20,869, 19,619-oftho State,415,ou An>non Q<ti OVX, From 1860 to I860 the gain in colored population was 18,37G, or 4.66 per cent., bat from 1860 to IS70 tbo gain Was only 3,494. or 0 84 per cent. As compared with 1850 tho variation in most of tho counties'is very Small, Barnwell County, however, in the 20 years, has gained 7,827, or 54 per cent., Xt?e most remarkable changes have tafayn place during.the tea years from 1860 to 1870. Boadfort Las lost 4,889, or 12 per cent.; Colleton has lost 16,169, or 49 per cent.; "Georgetown 1>M lost 4,904, or .26 percent.-; and Orangeburg, has lost 5,632, or 34 per per-oent. This loss is easily accounted for. Charleston County, gains 19/fcM, or 48 per cent, on the colored population, of the connt^ in 1860 ; .Richlatad (including the Urty <>i uoJombia) gains 3,733, or 32 per ccait, *nd Darlington gains 4,217, or35 per -cent. The negroes naturally tvarm to the cities and towns; bctac? thfc normonsgain of population in Chartes-j '^n and Columbia. AVc do net sco r however, any indication that the colA ored peoplo are moving towards tno seaboard. As we have shown, the most populous counties show a large falling off, while nearly all the interior countics show a marked increase. ABBEVILLE FAIR. TTe would give notice to our friends that the Executive Committee of our Agricultural Society are making due preparation for the approaching Fair, on the 25th, 26th and 27th oF October next, and will spare no pains to make it a success, alike creditable and satisfactory to all. The track is being widened, leveled and otherwise improved; a neat Secretary's Office is going up; and other improvements are in progress* Our friends who have tine stock are invited to come and J J 1- - +]?/-*!i? AuTAnfno in try ine ^jjccu ui iuwiuvo, anticipation of the eventful day, and all?farmers, mechanics and ; housewives?are urged to enter the ;lists of competition. A large.aud varied premium list has been prepared, committees have been appointed and nothing will be wanting to stimulate competition and tc reward it. We expect our whole District to turn out, and, as usual, gjve interest and eclat to the occasion. The weather will be fine, the roads will be good, and Abbeville, apart from the Fair, will repay a visit. Our merchants will then have full winter stocks aud will be pleased to welcome their friends. Come one. come all, and let us have a rousing exhibition. The Greeuville and Columbia Railroad will repay freight charged upon all articles returned home after exhibition?winch is equiualent to free transportation. The Growing Cotton Crop. . The reports of tho Agricultural Bureau, fix the maximra yield of the growing crop-, at three aud one-third millions of hales, whilst a short and unfavorable growing season would reduce it to three millions. A Georgia Contemporary, the Columbus Sun, in view of the lato favorable seasms J fixes the estimate lower?at 2,500,000 bales, and urges upon both plan tors and Merchants to protect themselves against the "Cotton ring" of New York, who are growing rich upon Southern losses. The Sun asks: What is the duty of the planters? It is plain. Such as are in debt for supplies or advances should bring forward their cotton and make the best arrangement possible with their creditors, even to selling, if necessary In this emergency, the merchant has a duty to perform also, in extendiag all the leniency in his power when a cotton collateral has been placed in hi3 hands by tho planter debtor. These two classes are mutually dependent on each other. The merchant, if agriculture is cramped and flecccd, cannot prosper. If what we have stated as the probable yield of the crop be truo, and we believe we are correct, then every pound of cotton made is worth thirty cents. Less than twenty .five cents will not remunerate the planter for tho making of the present short crop. The proper UUU1L> III/ at'WUlMviuuuii vvi?ivv?. vuv indebted planter aud his merchant, with a disposition on the part of the unembarrassed planter to hold for twenty-five eents, will soon march prices in the interior markets up to that figure, aud savo millions of dollars to bo expended at home, which with a different polic}*, will go into the pockets of tho,manufacturers and speculators of Isew York and Liverpool. - : ^ . Returned.-'-Col. Cothran has returned and gives a glowing account of his pleasant trip to Richmond. Staunton, Washington and other uota> ble places. Virginia still gives prooi of that vitality which mado her "the mother of States' and of Statesmen," and which is fust hiding up the rav. ages of the- war. Sho has set a noble example to her sister Southern Statos ?in agriculture, in the mechanical arts?in education. Washington more than ever gives evidence of being the seat of official power and patronage?the head party of King Grant?The Republicans of Washington are confident (so they say,) of his reelection. -^-0 Fire.?We regret to learn that the residence of Capt. It. F. AlcCaslan. at t Ninety-six, took firo on Saturday last, and but.for tho most strenuous efforts would have been consumed. The fire is supposed to have beon accidental, and to have originated from a cooking ston>, which was in uso iu a portion of the dwelling. Mr. B. R.

Tho Courier-Journal thus sums tif the result,1 We consider, that Texu; will be added to our column; Indiam , wc also conclude will be ours- If w< retain Nevada and New Hampshire our vote figures up 146. Wc are *til * 13 votes short of an election oven will i those figures. If frc can add New Jersey and Connecticut we would ex actly elect.

Without Pcnnsvlvania w< have to carry ever}' other doubtfu , State but one, nnd retain those that ar< put down as sceui-e to elect our nomi nee. It then looks as if tho pivot o the next Presidential olection must b< Pennsylvania. Tho Keystone Stat< has exhibited remarkable sagacity during tho last forty years, having in variably cast her vote for the Prcsideni elect. Tho man tcho receives her vote ii 1872 will again be tho elected Prcsi dent. These are facts worthy of con sideration. i ^ l The United States Senate.? On March 4th, 1873, tweuty-foui seats in the United States Seunt* will become vacant by the expira> tion of the terms of office.

Morrill, of Vermont i Although the date when the scat of these Senators will become le gaily vacant may appear a lon? way off, yet this fall nine of the States represented by some o: them will elect Legislatures, b) whom the next Senators will be chosey. A year hence Legislatures will bo electpd to choose th( remainder of the Seuators. The Associate Reformei Churcii.?We are indebted to R i R.
