The Abbeville Fair.
The Sixth Annual Fair of ihc Abbeville
Agricultural Society came of!" on
"Wednesday of the past week, continu- ,
jng until Friday afternoon, and was, a> ;
we. had every reason to anticipate, a .
-anost brilliant and successful exhibition. |
The attendance was somewnat suiaiier i
than at the iast Fair, and the receipts, ,
JUenee, were spmewhat less, but the ex- |
ibibition, in some respects, was infinitely t
superior, and was, altogether, a mattei i
of just pride and encouragement, and re- c
fleeted the highest credit upon all concerned.
The exhibition of horses was ^
superb, and was i?r superior in thenum- (
hpr And oualitv of the animals on exhi- ,
""" ?* 7 "
hition, to those of any former occasion. ]
Over eighty fine animals formed the j
imposing array, which might liave ri- t
vailed any similar display at the Slate .
Fair. In the household department, too, I
tber-e was a large and varied display, of i
.the.choicests products of culinary skill ]
And domestic handicraft, and the boun- r
(teou3 exhibition of good.things combined j
to banish all thoughts of hard times, f
small crops and empty larders. And so ;i
\we may remark of the various depart- t
xnents devoted to the products .of the 1
Joom, the needle and the pencil, within t
the .building, and to the fine buggies. H
and wagons and other specimcus of me- t
chanic art without and within. The i
crowd, too, on Thursday was scarcely f
smaller than last year; and a better i
looking, bettor dressed and better be- I
liaved company of ladies and gentlemen I
it would bo difficult to find anywhere, i
It well merited the compliment of a {
traveling salesman, who said that he [
had been throughout the Union, and 1
had seen none to surpass it, and perhaps 1
none to equal it. Altogether, the Fair i
-was a success, and has once more vindi- I
cated the claims of our Agricultural So- t
ciety, as one of our most cherished and
popular institutions. But let us survey ]
a little more minutely the most striking i
features, and refer more particularly to <
the most attractive incidents of the ex- I
hibition. :
Thursday, as usual, was the great day .
r\f il-,? Ti'uir ami larirti nrmvHw I
from all sections of the County, whilst !
there was a fair representation from the
adjoining counties. The streets of oui :
town, at an early hour, were crowded <
-with vehicles, and the extra train from
jSTiucty Sis brought a full freight of pas- :
sengers. Entering the Western eutrance
to the Fair grounds, we are first greeted
with a sight of a large tent, with flaring
placards, where the Messrs. Pearson &
3>empsey, of Greenville, promise first
xate ferrotypes at low rates. Amid the
variety-of other attractions, their patron-,
age was still very encouraging. Just
beyond their tent a traveling vender of
pens and pencils, selling .one package
lor twenty-five cents, was driving a
brisk trade. Sundry changes and improvements
in the grounds now strike
the eye of the beholder who has been in
nf ftttpnilmrr thfcp Vnira A
new story has been added to the judges' :
stand for the accommodation of the mu- 1
tficiansand just inside the track a num,ber
of comfortable seats, and near the
main building, a iadics' reception room;
ull conducing to the convenience and
.comfort of the visitors.
Entering the building, we find in the
lower story a display of field crops,
which, though, from some cause do defective
in quantity, was very excellent
tin the Quality of the articles on exhibition.

the palm for the best bale of cotton, best

of "Sheep" Col. Aiken took tl?e

In the Department of "Cattle"
Major Griffin took a number of premiim?

hires and grades, and for the best milk
sow, which yielded nine gallons, when
nilked on the ground; Mr. T. C. Perrin

Tusten.
The premiums were awarded on Fri
day, and tbeir delivery constituted an
interesting feature of the exercises.
The meeting of the Society came of on
Wednesday night, and the old officers
were re-elected. We see that the active
and efficient Secretary, Win. H. Parker,
Esq., has been induced to retain his
office. To his zeal" and efficiency the
success of our Fairs is largely owing,
and it would be difficult to find one so
competent to supply his ]>luee.
Last, but not least, we niay allude to
the fine Autumn weather which prevailed
during the week, aud added
largely to the pleasures of the occasion.

<Coloxel Cothras's SrEEcir.--.Col.
Cothran made an earnest and effective
speech at the Fair grounds on Friday
last, in which he called upon the citizens
of the County to rally to the polls
on the 3rd November, &nd give General
McGowau a strong support. He alluded
to the prevuiling apathy among our
people resulting from defeat in past ejections,
and illustrated the necessity of
one.more earnest,eflbr.t, by the example^
of Robert Bruce, who l*nd drawn inspiration
from the success of the spider, 1
and crowncd a long scries of reverses by
the glorious triumph of BannocUbum.'j
He called upon every true Southerner
to make one more effort to redeem a
country which, in every sense of the
word, was ours, by electing, as its chosen
representative, a man who was born
in our midst; was "bono of our bone,"
uid who, in interest and feeling, and in
Lhe assoeiations of a lifetime, was emohaticallv
one of us. He called linnn !
Lbe women of the country to do -their ]
3uty in the premiss, to permit no Jag-,
Sard to remain at home: but, if need be,
x> drive them to the polls.

Republican Meeting on Monday.
A Republican meeting was held in
the Court House on Monday and ad- *
dressed by Judges Thos. J. Mackey and j
S. L. Hoge, and Lieut. Gov. Cleaves, in t
support of the regular nominees of. the 3
Convention. The speeches were com- c
paratively moderate in tone and were y
listened to by citizens of both parties.
Judge Mackey alluded to his visit here ^
many years ago, and paid a warm tribute *
to the memory of Marshall, Abney and ]
Bel leek, Who were his comrades in the
Mexican war; said that his position now 1
as a member of the Republican party j
involved 110 loss of self-respect, and in <
the course of an earnest defense of its t
principles,"claimed for it three impor- *
tant changes in the organic law of the <
Rfnfn The establishment of the house- 1
hold exemption; the abolition of impris- (
onraent for debt, and the extension of 1
the educational appropriation?made a
labored defence of Mr. Chamberlain's 1
connection with the Scott administra- ,
.tion?assorted the right of Northern men 1
to hold office here as a right which had ;
been won on a hundred battle fields; '
admitted the truth of the charges of maladministration
which had been made
against the Republican parly of the
State, and made In its behalf earnest
pledges of reform. The Judge is an
able, and, at times, an eloquent speaker,
but one dose of Republicanism, even in
a "mild form" is enough for us, and we
did not stay to hoar the speeches of
Judge Hoge and Lieutenant-Governor
G leaves.
South Carolina?A Hopeful View of its
Recuperation.
A correspondent of the %ew York
Herald expresses himself as agreeably
surprised at tho present condition of our
State; that .so far from being in ruin and
chaos, it is not even retrograding, that
it makes more cotton and 'wheat to the
acre, has more busy hands, more ships
in the docks, more acres under cultivation,
and more varieties of products than
ever before; and that though it has suffered
a more rapid and radical change
than any other community except
France at the revolution of 1789, yet that
its condition now is better settled, better
ordered, more durable, and nearer a
lajrge and long prosperity, than elsewhere
in tho Union, and in support of
thps view, l^itcs the testimony of Gen.
trshaw, who expresses the opinion
t the discovery of our natural phosites
furnishes a full recompense for
loss of our slaves: of T.Ir. Miles of '
\Bmrleston, that social equality, after
a'!, lias nothing in it; and many other
planters of the State, and members of
tlie State Conservative Convention, that
tli e planting interests of the State under '
tl e new system of labor, have suffered
m > detriment. As showing the natural <
jy-ogress of the State he says:
"The northern part of this State has
immensely developed, pushing the cotton
culture to the foot of the Blue liidge,
where wheat and cotton blossom constant!}',
and neither is king. That
part of the State has advanced in towns
and ready markets by the opening of the
Air Line railroad from Atlanta to
Charlotte, and the city of Greenville is ,
one of the most progressive in the South. '
Spartanburg is also growing. The tendency
of all freights is through. Herein
the Carolinians see the folly and nar
rowness ot ttieir old railroad system. Jt
was twisted to and fro between the
selfish localities without comprehensiveness.
The railroads should have been
localized at Charleston, not led to a
merely political vicinage, like Colum- .
bia. The rice cultivation has fallen ofF,
through the disinclination of the negroes
to get the pneumonia by working
in the trenches in the coid winter
months of January and February, but
the naval products of South Carolina, "
tar, pitch, turpentine and rosin.have
made up tho difference, whereas hofore ij
they were scarcely accounted staples at |
all in this State." <
And again:
"South Carolina needs only a self-re- 1
spectiug Legislature and Executive and .
Judiciary to bo what she should have :
been but for an exaggerated self-wor- 1
ship, founded on factious selfishness, (
which no amount of personal chivalry
could compensa^ for. Think of a port
only forty-two hours by steam from the
anchorage of Havana, closer than New
i oi k 10 v^nicago, nearest me vast cotton
fielils of the Mississippi, ami still with
out a line of rail to Knoxville! The
plunder of this State has been by natives
eveu more than by strangers. Even 1
some native women join the rout. The
petigrews and Mackeys and Meltons
and what not forget their late importance
and herd together upon no social
standard for tiie sake of the luxurious
husks of which the swine partake. The
I present standard of value in South Carolina
may well be compared with the .
following figures for 1S54, used by Helper
in his ''Impending Crisis:" Seventeen
and one-third trillions of acres of
land were then assessed as worth no
more than $23,000,000, or about $1.37$
per acre. One-third of this amount of
land in New Jersey was assessed at
$158,000,000, or nearly ?30 an acre. Senator
Robertson sells half-acre building
lots on the outskirts of Columbia for
$300 a half .acre to negroes. By an inexorable
law the plantations are being divided.
The time is not far distant when
every negro in the State will have a
piece of ground. In proportion as this
tinin ic luisffruirl will irmul irni-ni.iiti-.Ant
I ... ....~v~..wv. ..... gU.CIUIUVIU
! come to blacks and whites. Honesty
without property is not to be expected
in a legislative body. The schools and
freeholds which many of the whites
grudge the negroes are to be their own
safeguards. When the negro and the
white have more dignity they will seek
less ofiice.
South Carolina has in the Augusta
and Columbia and the Piedmontair line
railways a trifle advanced upon her old
[railroad facilities. At Chester I saw a
narrow-guage railroad and train bound
inland. But nufch remains to be done .
to give Charleston her importance; as,
for example, a railroad from Millen, Ga.,
.to Tennessee, to carry the cotton of Macon
and Montgomery ofT from Savannah.
The area' of the State is 29,3S5
square miles, or less than that of Maine
or Indiana. A dozen good navigable
rivers draiu the rich interior of its products.
Some new towns bave sprung
up as by magic, like Aiken, and I have
! observed that the three cities whioh were
i burned in the war have experienced the
ijnost rapid revival?Atlanta, Richmond
Laud Columbia. This naturally arose
i from the assemblage .of mechanics and '
! laborers, who finally required babita- '
tions for themselves." ]
This gradual development of tbema
teriai prosperity of the State, he attrib- '
utes to a number of causes?to
"The hopelessness of political am- |
bition among the whites, whereby they
are neglecting politics and attending to
industry. To the more perfect climate
ana son mey possess over any of the
slave States. To the discovery of vast
depfoslts of natural mineral manures
since the war, whereby one acre is equal
to five, and the disorganized labor equally
available in the ratio of its replacement
by chemistry. To the orthodoxy ,
and homogeneity of the blacks, who are 'J
without the Creole restlessness. To the'
chastened intentions of the whites, who,
having the most inevitibly inevitable
black government, ^re treating their
labor with most justice. To a reflex
wave of immigration, repe'.letl from
Texas and even from Georgia, by the
barren realization, of exaggerated hopes ,
there. ^ A^d the^ incre^^^^^^U^jj

The accounts of the campaign in the
Counties above us are highly cheering
to those who hope for a change in our
political affairs.
There is much for us to do between
this time and the day of election; the
third day of November next, being

We have within our grasp the means
of electing better men to office than we
have had heretofore.
Everything now aepencis up?>u um
own exertious and the faithful performance
of our duty.
Let every good man lay aside his ordinary
business for one day. Go to the
polls and see to it that his neighbors do
likewise and we will elect McUowan for
Congress, and other good men to State
and County ollicers.
