The Agricultural Fair.
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

Southcru Literature.
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

which that numbskull, Guy lord Clark, I
presides, compared with the original and J

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

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

Mkssrs, Editors;?Dear Sirs:?1 give ,
you a statement cf the Cotton crop in our j n
section, which at this stage will give some j b
definite idea to your readers. tl
The crop of the Cotton irrowini? reoion e
along Savannah liiver, from Augusta (<> c
Puirysburg, will, I am confident. fail be
low half an average. I have fecontlv
been along tlio whole route. The frost j H
lias done considerable damage to nil the ' n
flat lands. \\ ith some few exceptions ?.f | ?
average crops, the planters along Kavan- l ?
nah liiver will fall very short. Some of j |:I
inj' immediate neighbors have already j
their whole crops out, packed, ginned,
seat to market and sold, t have l?een al j "
10 recently through middle (icorgin, where j "
the cotton crop will he in no case more [ ?
[ban one third average, and in the large

amount of fencing on the fa 1 Ills to tho
North ami East of Springfield. In some
