It is an I excellent one, affording a great variety of useful information. Persons going down to the State Fair should avail themselves of the opportunity to renew their subscript tioiia. Speaking of the approaching Statu Fair, ihe present number gixs-t the followtrig information : As ui^ry inquiries have been made of ur, concerning the preparations in this Cltv, for tho accommodation of visitors to the Fair, to bo hold on the 13th, 14th, Id, and Itith of this month, wo would statu that our citizens have made every arrangement neceaanry, and n<?no r.eed fear thai tlisy will not 1 find comfortable quarters. IxVt all our people turn out *u the great State-Festival, and we will show them that South Carolina alone liss within her bor. dels Ihe energy, genius, entsrprise and in. lelligeiice, Hirlliuient to make her?ili/sp? independent of tiny other people or aecljon ?f the world. From what we can learn, the next Fair will bs entitled to ihe high distinction of The True Issue before the South. Vheco has been no Presidential contest since the formation of our Government, that hxs excited the high degree of (uteresl iu every quarter of the country and among al' classes of people, that the election which we are in the midst of elicits,; and there lias been none before this which has threatened in its bare results the existence of the Union. We should not, however, in the excitement of the present struggle, amidst the very natural Sympathy which we fee) for the success of the candidate of our choice, suffer ourselves to lose sight of the true issue before the country. The question before the people of Uie tSonth is not whether Breckinridge or Lincoln, or Hell or Douglas, will be elected President of these United Stutes; but whether the institution of slavery, upon which is based all our hopes of prosperous independence, shall be perpetuated or nboh is bed. This is the grand issue before the South, absorbing in its magnitude every, thing else, and we should not sutler out minds to be diverted from it by matters ol infinitely less consequence. The election of Breckinridge, however desi ruble it may be to the people of the South cannot cure the evils by which they arc threatened; it can oyly serve to protract for r few years nn evcited and dangerous existence The Federal Government cannot uiuch long' er nfford us protection against the encroachments of our cueiuics. A few years ngo there was some evidence of a healthy cliauge of sentiment at the North in respect to slavery. Many of their first citizens took the ground tlial slavery, iu it exists iti the Southern States, is a blessing to the whole country and to ti e world, and that the interest of all, as wet! aa the cause of human ity and religion, required the perpetuity of the institution. The hope was held out that these sentiments, so just in themselves, holding up the mutual advantage of the institution to the two sections, would ultimately produce un entire change of Northern sentiment, the rights of the South would be respected and the vexed question Jinully sutiered to remain at rest. Some of our best statenien entertained hopes like these, and among thctu Senator Hammond of this Statu ; but it is proven to.havu been a delusion. The voice that was faintly raised for the South at the North has been stilled by the overwhelming sentiment against us and the mass boldly proclaim that they intend nothing short of the total uboliliou of slavery. No intelligent mind, who is willing to scrutinize the condition of things, can tan iv comprencnu wi:U me tssuo ui slavery or no slavery must bo met, and the question may well be asked, whether we are not as well prepared to meet it now as we will be four years, or eight years hence ? lu our judgment the South can gain no advantage worth contending for by the election of Breckinridge. Kntertaining thesu sentiments?believing that the dissolution of the Union is the only hope tor the South, we are ready to apply tliet remedy irrespective of the nr?i ill ennli^l Priwident. If the South can be united in the purpose to dissolve the Uniou, it is immaterial how this unity is effected, ami if the election of ? lit.,..!, W......t.t: ...:i? 1 ? viMVft Avvpuuiiviiii & iraiucill v% 111 JHUUUtU the desired result, we do not hesitate to ay that the election of Lincoln, instead of being a subject of dread, is a mutter to be desired. It Lincoln is elected the whole question will be solved at once ; the South will resist then, if ever, and after a strug. gle, w hether it be long or short, peaceful or bloody, a Southern Confederacy will bo formed and the quietude, prosperity and independence of the South secured. The whole question, we insist, will be solved in the election of Lincoln ; for should the South quietly submit to his administration, then she never will resist, and there are many who will read this article and live to see the day wheu the cotton States of this Uinon, with all the wealth which they now posaea* and ail the Influence which they now, in their might and vigor, are capable of exerting, reduced to a condition of desolation and ruin, at w hich even our enemies who will have preeipilu'ed it upon us, will look with horor and the civ ilized would stand aghast. It requires uo extraordinary gift of prophesy to foreseo that we are drifting to this extieiuity unlesu w v, through a resolute and united spirit of resistance, avert the impending danger whilst there is yet lime. Tho necessity for action addresses itself particularly to the eolton Status ol the Mouth ; it is here that the horrors of submission will be felt in their full intensity, and it behooves them to take the initiative in the proposed measures of resistance. If they but act in ppneprt the result cannot be doubtful ' Mr. Doubles and the Doctrine of Co prcion."

His bouse had been L shut for a day or two. 'ibis excited curiosity and finally suspicion so strong that ' the door was forcibly entered. He was i found lyiuz on a bed by the side of the i dead body of his wile. Upon examination it was found to be most horribly mutilated from head to bet The head was severely cut in several places and the bo. dy had been punched and disfigured with a piece of iron, which the fiend must have heated for the purpose. He had heeu on a drunken frolic, and was still in that condition when he committed the horrible deed. A Coroner's inquest was held yesterday, and a verdict returned in ' accordance with the facts.
