The Fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society is expected to be one of unusual interest, and to make ita per fect success, :-.d one worthy of the State, every section should be actively engaged in furthering the objects contemplated. Last year's Fair, the first exhibition since the war, not.vithstaniiing the great diffi cultics in the way of the Secretary and the committees, was happily more of a success than might have been anticipated, and evidenced what zeal and patience cou!daccomplish. Thelargeinterestmani fested in the great number of visitors present, and the numerous articles on exhibition, showed that there was life in the land vet, and that agriculture and mechanics occupied much of public at tention. That the resources of the State and the energics of -he people will be more largely brought out on the coming ocen.sin, we do not douht, and that the present Fair will he one which will com pare with any of the past, as far as cir cinostaees will admit. We allhde to th; irpre:t;ling Fair at thik time more 'rtYienrly to remind the (itizetns of our nn : :,t to prepare aind make a cred - h'' for Ncn h'errV, one of the first -;:i r:'di i ll i t he St:1t...

No more diabolical or hellish plan was ever hatched. Read it, and let us rea son over the matter, fellow citizens CONFIDENT1 AL CIRCULAR. COMRA DES: The R tdicaI cause is in lat+ger. The J-ormn party is gaining rapidly, Our party is being divided in dilerent sectiuois. N.thing but a tre men!ous effrt, vi thc the vrhule R"dical party u-ited as one moan, can save the party fr m defeat. We mu.-t g:rtn the elections thi, fall or ir party is irrevo cably anniii!atcd. We n ':.st save our cause, although we may be called upon to sacrifice the lives of .ome of our best men to carry the point. Remember Randolph, the martyr of his own party. It was his foul murder being charged to the Democrats that saved the State for General Scott two years ago. We must win again, if we have to sacrifice the lives of a score of our prominent leaders. The gnestion naturally presents itself how we shall determine who to offer up. i know of no better plan than this: Let all the Leagues in each county appoint five delegates from each League, to meet at some central point in the county, and let it be the duty of these delegates to select one prominent colored man of the party in the county for a SPECIAL AND INPORT.NT PURPOSE, to he made known to him by the Governor at the proper time. Let the name of each man thus selected be reported to the Gov ernor, whD*s duty it shall be to take the necessary steps, through the constabula rv force, to have them put to death in some secret place, and let the crime be charged to the Reform party. This plan will unite the nrgroes for the Radicals, and the day will be ours. Ti. plan will he made known to our prominent white mem bers of the Union League party in eac. county, and it iv expected that the great est caution and secrecy will he observed, and that the plan vv ill be carried nut about the ::1th of September.

The Lancaster Ledger says: "Gavernor Scott told one of the ele tion comnmiinners in this county just hefere the recenl Con'grei.sional election, th-sr if a Riepublican was not elected the mran?ger< we-re to bla,me. Said he : 'I have appo'inted the commissioners. The cornmilrioners have the appointment of the ma:nagers. If the managers DON'T c3UNT Ttlt: VOTES RiGHitT, I'm not to blame.'" An honest confes.sion is good for the soul. And this is one of the grounds upon which this inigmrtous party builds its hope of sujccess, the tide may indeed turn in fascor of the Reform movement, but they feel secure in being able to marniprulate. We shall see, what we shall see. Ini the meantime, it is well to let the people know how barefaccd the ring is. One of the policy plans again is the non enforcerment of the paymen. of taxes until the election is over. The good governor would nut distress his dear col ored friends arid hoped for Voters with tihe payment of taxes now, because it might alien3te their affections, he would rnot bie just the "Saviour" -as he was recently called by a colored citizen of Newberry-if hre m;ade them ante up now. Oh, no. after the election, .hen hre will have nio more use for them, then he w ill send1 out Ihis t1x-g,therers ; he will rieed motney about that tie for in. cider.tal expenses. .Mis Rollins will need a few hundre-ds, and his lieutenants thle sawe; Jo)seph, of LaLurens, no doubt will have a small bill for services render<d, and we night go on, but it is unnreces. s.ry. It is plain arid notorious that the taxes tmust arid will come. The colored peopl' wil nItot be hood-winked in this mantter. T he. Camden correspondent of the News, says: "Thre chairman of thre hoard of county corniisioniers carried to Coluamia a colred mian to place him ins thre Asylum. When be was carried to tihe Asylum, he was refused permission to enter, because the county could riot pay $86, the semi annmiual puymuent required by the Asylurm laws. The unfortunate man was brought to this place, handcuffed, anid thrown in. to the jaril, as we were unformed by the sail chairmnan. But the q1ue.stion arises, why is niot the county rable to pay in ad vance the sum required fur a pauper lu natic ? Because Governor Scott has for. bidden the c:ollection of taxes until after the election ; arid so this unfortunate lunatic, wit h no crime upon him, and for rio fault of his own, is thus dlenied the bnefits of an institution, begun amid rearedI for just such cases as this.

Thie loss of life A Plain Statement of the Late Insurrection ary Movement of the Negroea. "Coming events cast their shadows be" fore," and we may well be prepared for what seems inevitably to come. Sunday afternoon a report reached town that a large armed band of colored men were in the neighbor- 1 hood of Belmont, swearing to burn out and kill Mr. James Chappell, who had a difficulty some days before with a negro who he was desirou' of driving off the plantation of Mr. Moses Anderson, at the latter's request. The difficulty we learn, had been settled however, aflerward<. Mr. 'aysinger. sheriff, proceed ed to the spot, an,] there learned that a party of sixty colored men had gone to the house I of Mr. Anderson, where Chappell was, and Mr. Wim. Satterwhite went out and asked what was wanted. lie was told they wanted Mr. Chappell, that they were going to hang him. Mr. S. said it could not be. They then I threatened to kill him. The party in the -house then came out, five in number, armed, when the negroes went off and were joined by others, altogether amounting to a large force. The citizens in the meantime tnrned out, and both parties, as night had come on, re mained in position about two milesapart till morning, Mr. Paysinger with the company of citizens. Next morning, having business in town, Mr. P. started back, taking Mr. Chappell along under arrest to carry out the law in his case, Mr. Jack Henderson in com pany. On the road near Long-hore's Store they were stopped by a company of armed negroes formed In line. Thi+ party threat ened to kill the Sheriff. but flnalty con4ente to let him and the two others p&44. On be ing ordered to dl-per-e. and, if not peaceably, they shou'd be forced, hey replied there were not mvn Gnongh in Newberry to disperse them. Returning to the t'ene of action near Bel mont, in company wih two young men, Mr. P. overtook a f,rce of constabulary and col ored men from town going in the same di rection. These he directed to go on and meet the hostile negroes and tell them that peace had to be preserved, that he would meet them and see what was to be done or what wanted. He wanted them to disperse, bu-: if they wanted war and would have it they should be gratified. Arriving on the ground he found a large force, perhaps six or eight hundred in number, of white men mounted and armed, who had gathered in his absence, having heard beside that Crews with a force from Lanrens were on the way to reinforce the Belmont outlaws. Mr. P. then with three or four leading men of the neighborhood, advanced to the hostile party and demanded to know what they wanted. The answer was justice. They were told they should have it, but they must disperse and also give up the sixty who had threat encd Mr. C's life, and to burn his premises. After considerable demur the demand was wisely agreed to, but only twenty-three of the offenders could be found; these were giv en up and placed under arrest. The armed party of white mounted men,who had thus far been kept in the background, were now or dered up, and filed past in review, when the negrocs quietly dispersed, promising to go to their homes. The town party then started on their return home with the prisoners. In the meantime, a negro camo into town shot in the arm, and reported the wound in flicted by Mr. Geo. Johnstone, who was with MTr. aysinger. -A howl was at once raised; and a party of infuriated colored boys and men started to take Mr. J. These self ap pointed judges, and would be executioners, met the returning Sheriffs party, and were very violent In demonstration against Mr. J., in fact fired one shot at him. The Insulting language and threats were hard to bear, but they were borne patiently. It was ascertained fnally, that the party suspected was not the one" and- the company of peace-makers' reabed, town safely. Here the scene baffles description, the town was in an uproar, that i, the colored portion, and nothing but the quiet determination of tbe white citizens, and their great forbearance, kept off a coflis ioi The prisoners were placed under guard andinally gave bond for appearance at Cotrt, which is now sitting. At night a force was put on guard, as a necessary pre caution saanst the threats and violence of the afternoon. Nothing transpired during the night to disturb the quiet, and in the morning no sign of the disturbance could be seen. It may be mentioned that the mounted citizens instead of coming towards town, moved in the direction of Edgefield, as it was reported that a large force of negroes were near the Salnda river, and about to cross to join issue with the B3elmonters, but the result of this we have not ascertained. This is a plain, unvarnished account of the whole aiffair. so far as we can learn. The negroes were wholly in the wrong. If Mr. Chappell committed an offense against the law, in striking a man who grapp led with him, to the law recourse should have been had. lIut this seems not the advice of party rdical leaders, the purpose evidently is to bring on a collision, and the colored people ae foolish enough to be led into the trap We don't wan't this fight, we deprecate it, antd will go to all reasonable lengths to pre vent it, b)ut patience will soon cease to be a virtue, and if these blinded colored people arc determined to precipitate it, they will t it we fear before long. We do not wish to make a great sensation artile of this, or stir up any more feeling han has been shown, on the contrary, our desire is, as is the purpose and wish of eve ry honest citizen, and among this ntn.mher not aL few co'ored men, to maintain the peace at all hazards, but we would perhaps be do ing wrong did we not mention that one of the whitc Constabulary force, and the chief or them alt, after promising the Sheriff to aid hint in quelling the riot, was teen to take hold ofa negro, and heard to tell him, "to go in atnd defend his rights." We have this on unqutestionedl authority. It is well that the people know how the Constahtnhary force stand. We still ask our citizens to bear as much as can be borne in reason.

When it is thoroughly hot, cut and squeeze it into a cup upon three ounces of sugar, finely powdered. Take a spoonful whenever your cough troubles you. It is as good as it is agreeable to the taste.

Tir DASTARDLT OUTRAGE, of which the Republican's correspondent makes such a big Item against the citizens of Jalapa, in this District, in which 3fr. H. C. Corwin is said to have been so violently maltreated that his life was endangered, turns out to be a very small affair indeed, only amounting to a slap in the face. After which some gen tleman present had Corwin put up for the night and communicated with one of his friends advising him to take care of C. This person, a violent leaguer, after putting his friend to bed sent off a horseman to town with the message that the other was in dan ger. A posse immediately after the word was given started for the scene and found the mimw, supposed to be dead, fast asleep and in no danger. It is needless to add that both were under the influence of liquor. ,ASUGGESTroN -Only a week or two sgo 2 party of ladies and children, perhaps twen ty in,alI, at the Pomaria l>epot, found it very difficult'to get on the up train to News berry in consequence first of the exceedingly limit ed time allowed, and, secondly, because the passenger coach was stopped along side of another train which had come down with a company of militia and other colored people on a pic n ic excursion, these people blocking up the very narro1i passage, only about two feet wide, and also crowding the platform in front .and rear. A t the signal all aboard, im mediately on which the train started, more than one half the ladies and children were still on the ground, the platform still crowded with those who had no business there, and only by extra and hazardous efforts w(-re the whole party got on without accident. One little boy would have been seriously ir'jurcd, perhaps killed, had we not caught him in time. The last person to get on board was ourself, and this was accomplished only by running several yards, all the whtile holding on to the rail guard of the platform steps, until the last of the colored visitors had jumped off. Of course we do not wish to interfere with the time table of the passenger conductor, albhough we do think that in this instance a minute or two longer might have been allowed, yet we think thtat where there is room the passenger coach might he run further on the track, and not stopped near another train, to the discomfort and danger of the passenger, who has to force hitn or herself through a narrow passage crowded with people who are there for curiosity only. If this was a solitary instance we would say nothing about it, but the common custom at the News berry Decpot is to hem the passenger train in between the freights or whatever other ears may be there, and always is the narrow passage obstructed by a crowd of men andl hnys, whti!c ladies and chilren have to pick their waly through the mud, and1 arc jostled this way and that, in their efforts to get on the train in time. We think a little more consideration for the comfort of the trveling ptublic mIght he shtown, and we feel certain that having called attention to it. scmne effort will be rmade to obviate a very disngreah!e nuisance, in not 'only giving moure room but in enforcing a rule that the platforms he kept clear.

CHARLES PRATT, Sin: We have a short story to tell yoc eboit "Astral Oil." In the rear of our store, shout three years since, we had a shed built, with gravel roof, for Storing Paints, Oils, Glass. Adids. Kerosene ( il, &e., &c., unfor innately for s, it was set n tire early Saatur day Morning and entirely consumed. The 100 cases of Astral (it bought from you. a few day, since were in the shed, and strange to sv'cCame ott of the fire almost unharmed; they were piled itp two and three tiers high: the woo.1 cases, or course, were burned off antdseveral of the top cans unsoldered on top; but there was no explosion. and the Oil in the open cans did not burn. The rear of onr store was terv badly damaaed. The "Astral Oil" was within six oreightfeetfrom the store, and of course in a hot place. Had the exp:otion taken place nothing could havc saved the store. We had several Bhls of Kerosene in the shed, which burned lively. Some think if we had had "Astral Oil" td throw on the f1limes, they would have been subdued with but little loss. To say the least the 1 has stood a very severe test, and we think it is all you claim it to be. Yours respectfully, (Signed) STODD.,RD & BURTON. S.p.14, 37-2c. COMMERCIAL. N war.aaT. S.
