We have omitted hertofore to notice the preparations b.eing made at the grounds of the South Carolina Agricultural Society, in view of the exhibition and J^air to be held on the 11 of November and three following days. lJut otir otitis jdon proceeded neither from neglect of those preparations, tin mindfulness of the importance of the matter, or a failure to recognize the great advantages which yvould result to our city and people from - the successful execution cf lb# plaits of the Agricultural Society of Sunlit Carolina.? We preferred tp wait until the buildings and grounds submitted to the talents of Mr. 4'cbiteut Walker, ni.h ) ?? <i.? cient and energetic Secretary, Col. A.(?. Summer, should assume the condition of one entire whole, whose proportions and arrangements we could admire and commend. On monday we visited the ground? to take an observation The situation is perhaps the best adapted tor the purpose of any other in our neighborhood,being loea ted pn Upper street, and bounded on the east by the farm ol Mr. Charles ^i'Cub lough, and on the west by the Elm wood Cemetery. A view ot the main central building is had before arriving at the entrance, whicli impress us as being the very perfection of rural architecture. The drive from Main street to the grounds is a very level and excellent one; but we proltld respectfully suggest to the City Council that their attention to the lack of fopt-bridges in the neighborhood, on Up per street more especially, will secure for theui the gratitude of those who may chance to pedestranize thitherwards. At the entrance to the grounds is the general business and ticket oltiee, neat in appearance, and interiorly arranged with especial relerrence to th?{ purposes for vyliich it is adapted. On the east side ol the office is the entrance for carriages, and on the west that for visitors on foot. Tho first building we enter, within the enclosere, is intended for the exhibition of cereal crops, farm and orchard products, and indeed to all manner of agricultural productions. The building is seventy five by forty feet, and is sufficiently ample to admit of the advantageous exhibition of all articles sent tor that purpose. T? i lie mam or central building is of real lv magnificent appearance. Its dimensions are one hundred bv fifty four feet, with spacious entrances on evc\y side- It t fronts to the South, and is ornamented in I that direction bv the addition of a neat portico, from which wo were informed a 1 band of music would discourse fof the I gratification of visitors. Articles of domes- ' tic and honselipld use and manufacture i will here be displaced, broad tables being i properly disposed upon which they will t be arranged for exhibition. Spacious i winding stairs in the South end of the > building lead us to the galleries, wheic t further arrangements are found. There < are two neat rooms at either end, on the ' gallery range, one ol which is to be neat- > ly fitted and furnished us a saloon for the ladies; the other is for the exhibition ot whatever paintings and pictures may bo deposited. The thii'vj l^uilding is of the same di mansions as the pi\p fir.-i noticed, and < identical in appearance. Jl w to be devo- | ted to the exhibition of machinery and ag- j ( ricultural implements. A fine fifteen 1 liorso power engine, manufactured by | ' Messrs. Glaze Boatwrighl, will furnish t sufficient force to drive all the machinery i ' erected in the hnilding. c The arrangements for tho Stock exhibi- ; I tion are on a very large syale. For the | 1 exhibition of cattle there are one hundred l stalls, and accommodations to the same ' yxtent for horses, sheep and .hogs. We ' arc assured by the Secretary of the Socie- c tv that this part of tho exhibition will ex j > cecd any thing of the kind which has ever ; 1 taken place in the South. 1 11 The display of Agricultural implements c wo ar? also informed, will bo to an extent 1 which will astonish most who witness it, < every implement used on a fartn, in an iin- J proved and perfected stale, having been j entered for exhibition. j 1 We trust that our merchants will wake | 1 up to the necessity of their being represented at the exhibition. A case of goods front eac.li of our mercantile houses would ? add greatly to the extent and interest of n the Fair, and serve, too, as aujidvertiso [ luent of their stock- Much depends upon < the success of this ftr.-it Fair ; to make it w an annual occurrence o^r merchants can n do much. 3 Our country friends too, should epine tl forward. The Uailroad* have advertised h to taka stock for exhibition freo of charge, a aid pjraon:} visitjng tho Fair are to he e charged only half price going and return:ng. Kverv body cm send something, c and everything sent will add interest to \ the result. a For the general arrangement of the fcground, Ac., much praise is duo to, the h active elForu of Col. Hummer, who has p.itured into tho work with a deterrnination to make the exhibition a completo tri- c pmph in every respect. 55 Recruit* for Walker. M New Oki.kams.

Our extemporary, the l'icnyune, hnsd.evoted i.ts attention lor some days past to j tho object of Southern literature. W,c . :?rc glad to gain even n tardy recruit in j behalf of a cause to which the Delta has | levoted its energies for many vents, and I i\e congratulate the l'icnyune on tho dis I overv that Southerners arc perfectly al?le ( owiite their own books and publish them i i\ believer it t^ay appear to suit their eon- ; renienee. In due time it may find out that they can inak.0 their own laws ak.o, if necessary. The following paragraph in one of the | articles of our coteinporary arrested our at- i tcntion for a nr.onieiit: " Measures are on foot, wo are gratified i to learn, to establish a new Monthly Mag ; nzine, of the fiiit class, to he published at Clierleston, and designed to call into re- i ouisition the pens ofSouthern writeis, ami to enlist tlie support of Southern readers. . \Y? shall hail its appearance with the liveliest satisfaction." J We, too, w ill hail the appearance of i such a puhlieation with "the liveliest sat- j ' isfaction," but, at the same time, we are a compelled to not'ee a decided sin of onjis- J t siou of which tho writer has been guilty. ; j> He appears to target that Columbia (S. ? C.) ean already boast of a poiiodical wi?ieh v has no equal on the score of ability in the ; United States, the Southern Quarterly lie- ^ view to wit, of which Mr. W. Gilpiupe Sipiins was at one time editor. This join - j 0 ual is highly creditable to the literary genius of the South, and possesses a politi- ! * eal value betides, wlpcli i'.Qjulcrs it one of j o the most useful as wejl as the most jjgrep* j " able publications of the day. Mr. Sinims 1 is a writer of remarkable powers?a ej'oa- j tor as well as a critic?gifted with tiiefiu- ; ^ est analytic capacity, at)d second to none of his colemnoraries hs a sagacious and j1 conscientious editor: we believe his sue r cesser in the editorship, the Rer. Dr. j" Thornwell, is equally capable, Of what a practical value are the stolen stories of JIar c pel 's Magazine, its reprints of English nov- i c ..I* ..r lie ?..! " ' 'I v,..-, >v> umner iiiii oi stale jokes,over I which that numbskull, Guy lord Clark, I presides, compared with the original and J searching articles of l)r. Thoruwell, and i s the gifted contiihntnis associated with j ' hint in his unc}tMi;)kiiig? A"d yet we must confess, with regtet and shame, that Harper sells twenty of his badly illnstr i- ,j ted ami trashy Magazine for every single copy of the Southern lleview. We do f not pretecd to account for this fact, hut " ft mdor compels us to teeord it. Even the '' Abolitionism of 1'utnatn, appears to at- h tract more patronage than Sinnes. And tl yet there ought to be loom enough in ti South Carolina for another periodical, and j n both should secure the most liberal sup | port. The literature of a nation is its most vital element. Ill (liebooks < f England alone we find the secret of her sue- 11 cess; and once a people contents itself 1 with accepting the hocks of other races as ^ t their teachers and their guides, they must ; v prepare themselves to submit to the ferrule of their masters ? ?- ? ??
