Mr. Gibson, of Richmond, and passed
unanimously :
\\ herons, the Into attempt at Harper's

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. Wise
and President Buchanan, meets with our
unqualified approbation, we deem it in
cuiuhent upon the members of the Legis

most authoritative expression of theii
sentiments, 'l'heitfoie,
Resoleid, 'l'liat we regard the effort tc

insurrection with the most intense indig
nation, aY.d trust that the parties to '.his
insane ami treasonable plot may meel

their crime, it will exert a wholesome in

Hon- W W Boyce.
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

with Hih explanation of our Kepreson

hi? own lips, we are free to express our
approbation and satisfaction at his posi

Cannot Pardon Him.
The Richmond Enquirer of Monday
has the following paragraph :
Shall John Brown be jxtrdoned ? The
law of Virginia, chap. 17, section 18,
provides?
"The Governor shall not grant a pardon
in any case before conviction, nor tc
e.ny person convicted of treison against
the Common wealth, except with the con
sent of the General Assembly, declared
7 v joint lie-solution. Neither shall lie
gr.mt a reprieve to any person convicted
of treason for a longer period than until
the end of the sou on of the General At
sembly, during which it may be granted,
or, than until the end of the succeeding
.session, when it is granted during the re
.cess/'*
Here, then, is an end to pardon by the
Executive. He has not the power to
pardon John Brown, convicted of trea
son.

that :i very distressing epidemic is prevail- 1
! ing on the plantation of Col. Dixon llarnes
i j about four miles west of this place. Ten j
' I of his most valuable negroes have died

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

this was in many particulars the most sue!

, now be considered an institution essential !
! to the prosperity and industrial progress of '
! the Slate. 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 ;

' with our lister Districts in exhibition* at I

where we tire now behind them. We
could point to *evera! instance* of stock in
this District, that would have compared
very favorably with the Inrge collection in
Columbia and stood a fair chance for pre,

The Hon. Joseph A. Woodward, it was
> expected, would deliver an address on
1 Wednesday, he having been appointed an!
niversary Orator at the meeting of last |
year ; hut from indisposition he was una- !
ble to attend. 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. Wilson of V'ork.
i ; About the only drawback to the pleasant
| success of the occasion, was the attendance
of a number of the light-tinged gentry, and
j we heard of severnl instances o^ their suc>

I instance, the purse stolen contained #1000.

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

Mb. Kditok:?The time is fast nnnroach
ing that the election for Clerk of the Court
of thin District must take place. 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

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. I)r Cureton. Cnpt

Joseph Foster, Robert S'.inson, Reuben
Hamilton and Dr. Hush. It may he
others were there, whoso names are not
now remembered. I have already referred
to y oursel t and yo u will no doubt report
fully through the ledger.
Your lady renders will lind upon inquiry
ihnt th?*ir mi* if - aIiIihiiotIi (Kit niitiion>iio!u
win* well represented. 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*

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

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 |
! State. A number of the Executive Com- !
1 in it tec remarked to mo. that he merited a j
| high position in the Society. This is right, j
persons who hold ottiee and positions of i
I omitianu A..-..I -? u I
!?.?..ivnvv iignvuiouHii nuviuill'8, Hliumu
merit the distinction by their energy, zeal
i and knowledge in the science of Agrieul!
tore. Elevate and make prominent politi- j
ciaris and the Society will soon become )
j sickly nnd finally decay. Of course cncour- j
j age all to become members, Inn keep the j
| politician in the ranks.
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 device on the pitj
cher represented two negroes hoeing in the j
! field with the farm house in the distance.?
? i '
Dr. Illiiiid, ef r.dgefield,exhibited two boys ,
[ .!!19'verifier the description . Isaac, probabl y j
; I'd or 18 years old and Napoleon It or 15
I years. Uoth appeared intelligent and seemI
ed to understand our language and spoke
it with ease. 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. It created 1
quite a sensation?crowds flocked around j
to see the wild Afrieans so recently from

Africa compared with their appearance to.

prolmhly make advocates for the reopening t
of the Slave Tiude, at leant m> tar an bene,

II M. Rhodes with his superphospate had ,
a conspicuous stand upon the grounds? j
lie terms it the "standard manure" for cot- ,
ton, corn, and w heat culture, besides all
root crops. Kxbausted soil with the application
of this manure, ,1 U s.,iJ, can be
made to produce e<|ual to fresh land, it is ^
bones dissolved in sulphuric arid. Messrs.
Rluct and Robinson, of I.'hnrleston, are

Since the l??t fair, an Amphitheatre has |
been erected on the ground, capable of seat- i
ing, it ia said, five thousand persona The
animals are brought in and led around the
ring- It ia a beautiful and imposing sight

were arrested after having taken their seats 1
in the cars, no doubt feeling secure in their 1
appropriations.
Tlio American Sampson is here. On | ^

stentorian voice, rapidly announcing his \
performance ; the Hill of particulars was | r
his immense strength. A strap wua fasten- j '
ed around hitu to which two stout horses J
were attached, lie lav on a ladder fasten- s

The new Capitol is looming up, begin- |
ning to present n State House iippenrnnee. |
The materials are of the beat kind and the |
work appears to be executed most faithfully
and substantially. When completed I i
have no doubt it will be one of the best I
State Capitols ill the Union. In the neve- \
ral States i have visit*d I have aeon no
State House that will compare with it.
The Fair for the benefit of the I'ulmctto
Fire Company has been going on in tiio
evening's of this week. It has been Well !
and numerously attended, many visitors or
rather strangers have shown their counten- |
anees ami contributed their mite. "Take a i
chance" "take a grab" are fam'lliar words |
to many, and probably expensive to others.
Yankee Kobinson'a Circus is also here, and |
that is about as much as I can tell you how j
he stood "down the Hull."
On Thursday afternoon a Ilalloon ascen- i
sion was made with a man in it, or rather
sitting just under it on planks attached with j
cords. He ascended probably a quarter of '
a inile and went enstwardly probably one
mile. It is said he came down with bis |
boots of, ami I believe it, for I saw him pull j
them off. before leaving the earth and just J
as lie was about making the ascent.
This is the fourth annual Fair I have '
attended three and I perceive an increase |
and improvement every tear. Every per- j
son and particularly every farmer and plan
t* r who can possibly attend should make it
a matter of duty to show Ids countenance
even if he does not exhibit any article?no
person need fear the want of aecommoda- .
ticn*?the public spirited citizens ofCo'um- !
ilia will see to it that every body it provi- .
ded for. Many prominent gentlemen of llie .
olate have been in attendance, too numerous
to mention. Many, very many hand
some and accomplished ladies have contributed
their presence and fashions to enliven |,
and decorate the exhibition and scenery? o
The good Old North State has had a place o
in the "plctuje," many ?>f her practical and "

arks of asthma, which deprived him of boddy

.-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
