Hoard of Froo Schools in relation to tho distri- \ but ion of the free school funil: Touchers arc not to bo paid for an}* specified nuaiber of scholars, but aro required to report j tlio whole number of days poor scholars have [ attended. When tho roports aro sent in, the j Hoard aggregates the number of days, and pays tho teacher all, if thcro arc funds, or a certain per cent, thereon, if tho funds run sh?rt. Tlio j ontire amount of tho appropriation will bo expended each yoar, under the present regulation, at two, three and four cents per day. The teacher that reports tho largest number of poor scholars will, of course, receive most of the public money. Tho lijard moots tlio fourth Monday in Xjvombor, at which time all reports must be handed in. The Fair, Of the Pickens District Agricultural Society, held at this place, on Friday last, was not as well attended as the importance <>f the occasion demanded: nevertheless, the attendance was jUir, both of articles for exhibition, members ami visitors. Wx. Hunter, esq., was the presiding officer, and takes groat ploasnro in th furthcratico of so noble a cause as agriculture.

The claims pf this great enterprise never require! more at the hands of it* friends than at tho present time. The recent State election has shown that tho people have endorsed it, anil defire to see it hastened to completion. Tho House of Representatives will vote, the required aid? it is for the Senate to stillo it, or give hope to a liberal spirit of enterprise in tho State. We are aware that the present political excitement may engross almost everything olso, but there is no reason i'> throwing aside all im |ni?vcuion> m consoquunco mereoi. 1'olitics is u trado, and will never die ; enterprise 13 not, and inunt bo fostered and encouraged.

Wo must be permitted, however, to call attention to Mr. Smith's letter on the first pnge, relative t+> the almost inoxhaustablc mineral wealth of Macon, Franklin and Jackson counties, in North Carolina.
