The Edgefield agricultural exhibitiun of Friday last passed olf with marked success. Much interest was v mainfestedl by the in-cowing of ladies and gentlemen from almost every part of the District; and many of c them contributed largely to the Sa show of the day. S-The Ladits Depar~tmnt, the Horticultural Depart. t mient, the flomacholid Depaartment, &e, were supplied a with articles of rare talrn;, and, all together, presen eda varied and !itLerting scene witina do.ors; while without, the display of horses, cattle, hugs, and poul.. trf, was reall-: of a kinda tom gratify the pride of our district. $or~ral gerdlemuen who had seen marny ex hibitions of the sor:. remarked that they hadl never attended one suiperior to this, especially in the stock department. To give ana idiea of the excellence of the cattle on exhibiuion, we may mention that the sum of three Ausmdred dollamrs was offercd on the ground for a Devon Bull. between one~ and two years old, belong. ing to Mr. 1-dn liil, ad that fif.-y dollars was re fused by thu .;une gentlenmn for a heif-er calf about seven month- old. Thoare were a half-dloson mother noble ?pec.imeans of thme Tasur-e Decvod nal Jirahmin, between wheibl it was somewhat dificumlt to make a oorrect decia:n. The eamue may be said of thme cows, - and also of the ctnllions, geldinags and colts on. thee ground. In 41hort, thme whole thir wais a triumpha, t and every one seteed dlelightedm that it was so. We I trust it is a guarr.ntee mof fuat-:re andl gre-.ter success. a Reference is aske-i to the list of ;twardts on anomther eolumn. A BlEA TIFUL BUGGY. One of the neatest end ca:mzpletest buggies out, was I exhibited on the Fair ground, last week, by Messrs Smith & Jones of this villauge. Besides the general excellence of its wearkmanship, it was remarkamblo for two new and decidoedly advantageous improvements. - One of there, the patent coucpling, is alreadiy knownr to many ; but the other is .pmite new, anal ta. our no-a tion as gotAl aq it is new.

While we write, a tremendotius indignation meeting being hold in our baruyard over the blood of a o-year-old calf, slaughtered this norning to help t the allowance o bacon among our f/lk. From 4o rampant and boisterous character of the assem lnge, we opine it will become necessary to order out he black militia to disperse the infuriated mob. The ld spotted cow, "1Pidey," is evidently cursing and wearing like a sailor over the event. "Miark Antony" the bull) is tearing up the dirt with his feet, accom anying that demonstration with his most savage gut. rals. All the rest catch up the torrible inspirntion f rage. And now they bellow, anl blate, and roar, a wildest frenzy. Even the gentle "-Rose" (our lack-eyed one's favorite) is lending her throat. to the ideots din; and the juvenile "Slialy-Ann'' essays a tartling falsetto scream at short intervals. Mercy a us, this will never do. Here, Nins! Lisbon! Cuff! aris! All of you! Hang out our banners! Up with our sticks and staves! Disperse the demous! But re must away, to lead the onslaught. After the engagemnerst. We came, we flourished our sts and sticks, we conquered. The cowbelogian up. >ar is quelled. But the joy of victory has been con miderably muddied by the sage assurance of the d milk-woman, that "do krooters will keep on doin' ) every day till de scent of do g-ts is gone." Such is one of the incidental results of the high rice of bacon. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. p&- Mr. W. M. Huxiva has issued a prospectus of new paper to be published at Barnwell C.

I am sorry to think that my very first letter from ie Metropolis must be the medium of bad news in ec financial woirll. For a week past there has been othing talked or thought of here but Suspended anks and depreciated Bank Bills--and such a con iotion has been stirred up as Old Charleston has nev r had the pain of witnessing since the memorable risis of 1837. The suspension exercises commenced n Saturday last, the Bank of the State leading the an, followed up on Monday and Tuesday by the outh Western Rail Rond, South Carolina and Peo le's Banks. The paisie which.ensued, chiefly among 3ose who, une.ceustomed to Bank operations, natu ally became suspicious of the availability of the bills f the Suspended Banks, was at once taken advan mge of by the knowing ones, and notes of the Bank f the State-the very best circulating medium ex ant,-were freely sacrificed to the rapacity of specu rttrs, to the tune of 10 and 15 per cent discount. u such a condition of affairs, all confidence seemed D be lost for the time being. Many were afraid eith r to receive or pay out their small bills. for fear ither of being unable to pass them or to obtain change n making purchases-and consequently. both buyers nd sellers were brought to a stand, and many good pportnnities of making sales lost. On Thursday the Planters & Mechanics" and the "Farmers & Ex. hange " Banks followed suit. By this time, the ex itemuent had subsided and a better understanding of he nature of the difficulties seemed to prevail. It ris shoiun satisfactorily to the inexperienced in kinking scieneo that the bills of the Bank of the it'te undnr the denomination of five dollars were not nly safe and available but indispensable, as the only urrency that could be immediately substituted for he want of specie. Our store keepers commenced igorously to bid for them, and those "selling off be Pw cost" offered to pay a premium. Meanwhile easures were set on foot to relieve the community 'y legislation. The Charleston Delegation hold a meeting on Wednesday to talk over the matter and if ossible devise some means of delivering their eon tituents out of this unfortunate dilemma, but came to be conclusion to suspend their opinions for the'pres at, and adjourned without taking any action on this ubject. . The impression appears to prevail that a general uspeusion will set all things right and place the anks and every body on an equal footing of mutual onfidence. Our gay season slowly appronebes; preparations are a progress for a brilliant winter campaign in the de artinent of public Exhibitions and Amusements. ,he Theatre is to be opened shortly under the man gement of Mr. G. F. Marchant, with a better Stock ompany than has heretofore graced the Stage in this ititude. The building has been completely repaired nd remnodelled,-and new furniture, scenery and dec rative allplianuces added. The following performers onstitute tIe Theatrical Corps; Mr.0.F.

To-morrow is the regular Anniversary of our time onored Institution, the Orphan House-the-exercises ave in consequene, been postponed to Thursday 2nd, an interesting programme for which is in lpre arntion. The Cumimissioners have appointed Wed. eday as the day for thme reception of visitors who uay desire to examine the arrangements and system 'f condneting this valuable institute. A register is opt, in which visittors enroal their names, with their ommnents and suggestions. Many ofthese leave fiat ering testimony to the admirable discipline and good rder prev'ailing in the establishment, and the intel igence and prficeiency of the pupils. Our Orphan louse is a favorite resort with our friends front the outry and in well worth the attention of those whoi usy now visit us. The view of the city and surroun ling country fromn the cupola is quite picturesque and epays the fatigue of the ascent. Although one c-pe ial day of the wreek is generally recognized as recep ion day, the House is never closed to strangers visi iug us at other times, during such hours as will net nterfere with schoul duties and domestic arrange nenits.

R. DEPARTED this life, in or near Greenville,.Geor ia, on the 1st -:day of October, 1857, GEORGE cDUIFFIE REARDEN, who had just entered ito his 22d year of his age and had just made imself ready to assume the responsibility of life. Actuated by patriotic impulses, the deceased ad left his-home, early in the contest in.Kansas, ad had made the destiny of the gallant pro-sla ?ry. party there, his own. The writer has been iformed, that his conduct and bearing there were qual to the very best which were enacted by outherners ifthat region so distant fron home ad early associations. But boy as he was, the me had come; .when the pressure of his own af tirs required his presence nearer his business con ections; and perhaps, he had also seen reason to espair of the pro-slavery movement in that Ter itory. And he returned home to die of Typhoid ver, before-he could ever behold the sorrowing ice of a Mother who doted on him, as the child f her old age, and before he could embrace the rothers and sisters, who in their hearts, bad ever lierished, the most devoted attachment for him, 'om infancy. -- A. DIED, in this District, on the 18th September, at te residence of BENJAXIN EDwAns, Esq., Mr. A)MES EDWARDS,. in the 42d year of his age. Having arrived at something beyond middle ige, e deceased had established for himself a charac !r for honesty, firmness and uprightness, in all his ealings with his fellow men; and, If he shared ymewhat in the failings and frailties common to ,e human family, none can say that he ever dis slr-bled, or desired to show off under false colours. lu the contrary, whatever principle he possessed, r sentiment he entertained, or whatever he was al >ether, ho wished not to conceal from the viewv f tihe world around him. Thus has passed from ur midst an honest man, "ithe noblest work of 'od."
