Harper's Kerry Abolition invasion, introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives l?y Mr. Gibson, of Richmond, and passed unanimously : \\ herons, the Into attempt at Harper's Ferry in the State of Virginia, to excite r portion of the slaves of the South to insurrection, lias produced the highest do gree of indignation to the minds of the So'flliern neonle a rains! the nernBtmtors of tl>ill outrage, their aiders and abettor.-, and affords just grou.nl to apprehend a renewal of their efforts in other places ;? And whereas tho action of Gov.

We had ihe pleasure of seeing onr es teeined and distinguished Representative in town on Tuesday, and hearing briefly his views in a short address at the Court House, upon some of the leading topics of the day. Mr. Boyce said that a misapprehension ofltis views has been tak?-n by some of the papers in the State. By "moderation" lie does not mean subinis sioti. Lie is unwilling to submit to the dominion of a Black Republican party, and upon the election of a President, as the exponent of such party, he is not only for a prompt dissolution of the Union, anil a Southern Confederacy, hut if need he for the separate Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. To remain where we are, he says, after such an event would he dishonor, degradation and ruin He only counsels modeiation now, as a means to the end preparatory to the great event which will he determined in the election of the next President, lie wants no new issues thrown as firebrands into the Southern ranks. We must know what the South lias to depend on among -ourselves in regard to the future and its M - 1 i I . xr ovviuu. i?i i. i)n? is upposeu 10 aiiom al nominating Conventions, believing them to be for the South wrong in pro cipie and false in policy. He does not desire the State to go intc the next scramble at Charleston, bill would have us support cordially any sound Constitutional man, nominated lor the Presidency hv that Convention, who will stand up squarely and unequivocally for Southern rights "as plainly deducihle from the l>red Scott case." He would not support Douglas, or any other candidate who did not stand up for the protection of Southern institutions in the common territories. With such a position on the part of the South, the issue ia the next Presidential election he a plain and unmistakah!" one. If a Black Republican is elected ovei such a man, for example, as Hen. Joe Lane, of Oregon, Mr. Boyce then is for immediate resistance, singly and alone il we mitst, with or without co operation. with Hih explanation of our Kepreson talive, full, explicit and emphatic, from hi? own lips, we are free to express our approbation and satisfaction at his posi lion.?

The State Fair. i | We had the pleasure of being in Colutn- ; L bia for a couple of days last week, during ; the progress* of our State Fair. This is ' ; the fourth annual exhibition, and at each J successive meeting flattering evidences, ne- i I cording to the various reports, have been abuudantly manifest of their Increased pop. j i ularity and usefulness among the people I throughout the State. We were told that i j .

Larger additions to the aeeotn! inodntions upon tlie Fair grounds have 1 been made since the Inst meeting and yet I it did not appear that there was too much room, either for the articles on exhibition ' or the erov\d in attendance. The spacious amphitheatre where the fine stock were j exhibited and which has been lately built, j ' is alone capable of seating several thou- j sand persons. We were told that the per- ] sons in attendance were equally as great in j point of number as the attendance last I year ; and what is commendable and ntibrds I a proof of the increased interest felt in the 1 success of the Fair, was that none of this | vast assemblage, so far as we could learn, lacked for proper accommodations. The Committee of Reception were kept busy for the first two or three day*, directing persons to the various private residences whose occupants had agreed to throw their j i doors open to their friends from the eoun- j i iry- I To give our renders a fair conception of ! the nrticlcs on exhibition, which embraced almost everything yet conceived .and j | brought to light through llu< genius and I j skill of man, together with the largo variety of live stock, would require a much longer | notice than we propose at thi? time to make. Such a collection must be seen in order to be properly appreciated ; and I ere we will add that none can see it without being instructed and benefited thereby.? I 1 ?et all who can, visit such places nud lliey 1 will, \vc are persuaded, agree with U" in this matter. We were pleased to meet with several ot our J-ancnster friends, but not so many as we had expected and desired to see. Our correspondent "Long Grabs" was among | them. It is gcnnerally understood that when he 'circulates' the renders of the Ledger will have the benefit of his observations and we hope that lliey will not in this instance be disappointed. In the exhibition, Lancaster was still more poorly represented. The principal , cause of tnis, is, that we have no convenient mode, of transportation This suggests ; t iimiuiri impoi bail v ii'ini/ll Wliy \\ * HllOUiU | build a railroad ; we could then compete ' with our lister Districts in exhibition* at I 1 the State Pair and in many other particulars where we tire now behind them.

The Society assembled at the Ifal! of the House of Representatives , on Wednesday evening and was addressed by Col. A. P. Calhoun, the President. He made a very excellent speech and was I istoned to attentively by a large audience.? After the address, an election was held for ! officers for the ensuing yenr, when Col. | Calhoun was re-elected President. II. W. j Rnvenei, of Aiken wns chosen Orator for I the annual meeting in 1860 ; alternate, Col. j V> . U.

In one I instance, the purse stolen contained #1000. | The Police were on the look out and sue. , ceeded in making some arrests. I-'kauds in Packing Cotton.?The New V'ork Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting last week, took for consideration the com- ' plaints of the British manufactures, with regard to frauds in the packing of cotton. I The specific charge was. that sand w is mix- i ?<l with the article so as to increase its ; weight.

And we deem this the proper time for candidates to enter the field of competition for this office. Our due regard and friendship, arid the well known ability and qualities of Mr. II. J. Hancock, prompts us to respectfully place his name in nomination for Clerk of the Court. lie has filled the office ol Deputy Sheriff with credit to himself and honor to the District. He was nominated for Sheriff for the ensuing term, out declines that nomination upon reasons, which have already appeared in your paper, and which proves satisfactory to every voter of the District, that he is no rampant office seeker?this we all admire ami should support such men for public office. We have not consulted Mr. Hancock in regard to the uso of his name and we do not know .iiat he will accept, but bope he will. If he accepts the nomination, we herewith, recommend hi tn to the voters ol Lancaster District. We have known hiin from infancy up to manhood, andean assert the fait, that he is the same to morrow as to day, VOTERS. * % For the Lancaster ledger. Columbia, Nov. II, 1859. The Slate Agricultural fair closed today. To do justice would require a half dozen correspondents and then probably the one-half would be loft untold. 1 shall not attempt to give inore than an idea or two. There are several reasons why only a short notice fro n the subscriber will suffice. He was behind time, the Fair having been opened near two days before he was upon the grounds. Then, probab'y at a guess over 2000 articles were on exhibition, aed had to be looked at hurriedly.? Again, you had to squeeze your way through a crowd, a compact concourse of both sexes, each and all intent upon seeing. The visitors being estimated from eight to ten thousand pi re ins. Again Lancaster was well and numerously represented, and each will be able to relate what he or she saw ; ant! then, the Kdilor in propria persona was there and circulated freely and will report accordingly. And then again, and lastly, the white crape, white Merino shawls, the red shawls and the hoops, contributed to divide the attention of the "subscriber," and to withdraw somewhat from his examination of the many articles on exhibition. Now Mr Kdilor for the umny nuiimtu irnnuui j uur rtTHUlTI will not expect much. In thin they will not be disappointed. I have said that Lancaster was well nod numerously represented and I would refer your home renders for the particulars and a detailed account of the Fair to Messrs. I)r '.'tinthen. ('apt Incraln.

Fur a full report ot the fashions, fiownces, needle work, knit work, wax and rosin work, head and shell hnir work, quilts, counterpanes, embroideries, netting work and kindred matters. I refer them to those ladies who were in attendance. They saw more than I did and can relafe it with more fluency and in more technical language. And lady readers after you have inquired about the fashions do r.ot forget to ask about the preserves, jams, jellies, butter, cheese, brandy peaches,starch vinegar, candles, soap. leaf lard, pickles and such like. Practical and valuable information may be obtained worth remembering. As a general rule, all Ipdies are observant and inquisitive about matters which pertain to their sex. This is right and highly commendable. I?et a lady see a new article of dress goods, made up in the latest style ; let the fashion change, or let thein see in the household department, an improvement, or something new, useful or valuable, the tongue becomes restless, speech is involun* fnrv nnd sit th<- ileitired information ia ,?t. twined. All this in proper, but I must stop the digression. The gentlemen alluded to, csn tell your readers about the fine Sleek Devon, Durham. Ayrshire, Brahmin grade and native cattle which were on exhibition. The ma. ny beautiful and handsome horses, mares, colts, geldings and fillies?the heavy and light draft horses, the Morgan's Canadian's, single and matched harness horses, the fast trotter, making 1&60 yards in 2 minutes and 10 seconds The swift and easy pacer and the pretty ponies.

Mr. Cunningham the President of our Society wa* on the Committee on Farming Implements, faithfully and with great credit to himself did he discharge the laborious $ ! duties as one of that committee ; his prnc- | 1 tieul good sense and thorough knowledge j of farming implement*, soon beeniip* nppru ' rent nnd wn* sppieeiated. lie created a I j decidedly favorable impression?for the fu- ! | turc he will he classed among the most i \ practical and intelligent planters of the | !

Should you Mr. Editor and myself fail | I to satisfy your leaders about ihe Fair, its I many attractions, curiosities, doings and fixings, I have herein given them a referj encejo whom they can go for "further pa'| ticulars." I mean the persons herein bej fore mentioned,?among all hands a pretty full account may he had. I wiil confine myself mostly to the performance on the | last two days. The largest yield of wheat t on one acre was 66 bushels, on two acres 1 i 90 bushels, this was raised by Major W. R. Robertson, of Winnsboro, who does every- j j thing lie undertakes right, and in a ' neat j and workmanlike manner." From the np j pearance of the soil on his premises, it is j incapable- of such a production, lie thureI fore deserves the greater credit for the energy, stimulants and science which he np. plied to the soil to cause so fine a yield ? Farmers and planters should profit by such examples. One, two, nnd not exceeding three acres, with such yields will abundantly furnish their families with "flour doings" nit* wnuie year. i ne largest yield ol corn on 5 acres improved upland was 51 bushels per acre, by Jacob Strowman, Esq , of Orangeburgh, one of the Vice Presidents.? (In two acres of lowland 127 bushels was raised by Mr. Price, of Richland. .Mr. Samiiel A. B. Shannon, of Kershaw, exhibited | and received a premium for the host heavy draft brood in.arc and the best mule colt. At a guess I would say over live hundred prctnius were awarded. Among the recipients whose names were called the oftenesl j and who had "arms full" of awards, were Col. John I). Williams and Dr. A. C. Puller of l.aurenu, Major R. A. (Jrillin. of Ab. beville. Dr. Parker, and Col. P. Hampton. of Columbia, Col. R Beaty, of Union, Mr. ; Hardy and Win. Sumner, Esq, of Newber| ry, nnd N. Borden & Son, of N. C. Mr. Elliott, of Winn.sboro, received a I premium for the best Cotton (Jin, South-1 I Carolina manufacture, nnd also tor the bent I | Ciin open to the world. Dr. Hunter, of; Laurens, exhibited the best bale of upland J cotton and received the premium therefor. I believe Dr. Hunter at the last Pair produced the best bale of upland cotton. Sometime s nee Col. A. M Hunt, of the 1 I United States Hotel, offered a premium on ! Win Own hook sort in hin iodii Mo.lt cnpncitr { i for tin* bent specimen of the native African | ' imported in 1858 or 59, to be exhibited at j I the Fair. The premium wan a silver pitch- i ' er, valued at JtfiO.

The cheeks of Isacc were I | Intoned, scarified, and the teeth of Napole- I j tin filed ? this was done in Africa. The ' Committee gave the premium to Isaac ; he I I was evidently delighted with the pitcher j arid held it up as a triumph. This was a ' | novel exhibition, an outside show, one in j which the Agricultural Society, as a body I I or society, had nothing to do.

IIollowat'h Pii.lm, an undoubted Remedy or Asthma. Mr. Ellis Wilson, of Brooklyn, S'ew York, had for five yearn very severe at. arks of asthma, which deprived him of boddy -est night and dav ; the cough at times almost .-linked hiin, and caused him continually to <pit blood, he was never sale either eating or Jringiug, and his family were distressed Im-jond measure to see him gradually reduced to ilmost a skeleton. Ilolloway'a Pills, in hia rase, were as usual efficacious. This gentleman u?ed them for eleven weeks, and they effected a perfect cure ; he feels himself stronger now than he has been for the last fifteen rears. 12 Even (bote who are in the enjoyment of perfect heulth frequently have need to have recourse to tonics as preventives of disease.? We arc never too well armored against the as. naulu of "the ills that fiesh is heir to." Such an invigorator they may find in IIOSTRTTKU'S BITTERS?a medicine that cannot be taken ir^u>?' ; " iMlllUt TlUllltJ I'lWUCIlJ to the system.
