WALHALLA, S. C.: Friday Morning, Oct. 31, 1870. VOLUME. The Fifth Voluuio of tho COURIER closed with the termination of the exciting politico I campaign iu this State. In our understand ing of thom, wo havo endeavored to advocate the trae interests of tho people with eandorj and ^fairness, avoiding, as far as possible, all personal bitterness. Tho people are sovorcign in a Republic, and it should bo the aim of the journalist to instruct their minds and elevate their moral tono by the forco of reason and truth, without appealing to the passions and prejudices of tho ignorant. Wo can soy, wc have tried to do this, whether successfully or not. Tho die is now oost, though tho result ia unknown. Whether or not thc decision bc favorable to the party wo have advocated, the COURIER will continuo its weekly visitations to our patrons, speaking, through its columns, tho nows of tho World in matters of Religion.

The War in Europe Presents no new or interesting features. The 8eigc of Puris and Metz continues, with on occasional sortie by the French. In one of these, under General DUCROT, the Pms sians were defeated and compelled to abandon^ their position on tho hills on the west side ofl Paris. There aro frcquont skirmishes in thog omntry around Puris between tho Home Guard* and Prussian cavulry. These, how ever, aniouut to but little, except as showing! the disposition of the French to resist the wasting of their country. The Late Elections. In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and] Nebraska, says tho Now York Herald, estab lish the faots,-that tho majority of tho poo plo of tho United States acocpt, endorso and approve tho administration of Gen. Grant; that tho Republican party aro suro of a ma jority in tho house of Representativos of the uoxt Congress ; and that General Grant is good for another term against any opposing candidato. Neither party seoras to have se cured any great accessions since 1808. Wo must romombor that tho Republican party of the North ts vory different from tho Radical party in South Carolina. 8@P* The Alexandria Gazette says that it 18 the opinion of many persons that tho lato unprecedented freshet in tho James and ?Shenandoah rivers was not caused by a con tinued rain, but by som o thing Uko the burst lng of a waterspout on or about their bead waiora, and their sources are not a vory great distance apart.

Proceedings of the Ooonoe Agricultural and Mechanical Society. \ WAMIAT.LA, S. C., ) I October 3, 1870. J \ Tho Oconco Agricultural and Mechanical Society was called to order by tho President. Minutes of lust meeting wcro road and adop ted. Tho President, in a very able and itu Iprossivo manner, appealed to tho mombors [and farmers gencrully in behalf of tho claims of thc Society. The letter of Ucn. Ilatnptou, in reply to an invitation to address tho Socie ty, on tho subject of establishing an Agricul tural College, was read, in which ho declined, for tho want of timo, caused by a dctcnt'on of tho invitation until a few days previous to tho meeting. Tho lotter expresses a hearty approval of tho object in view ; ascribes praisoj mid honor to tho Society for inaugur?t i ug' such a movo, aud tho willingness of ibo writer^ to contributo at any lime all tho assistance in' his power to promote our undertaking. Tho! Committee appointed to consider tho "practi cability of establishing an Agricultural Col lego in Walhalla," made through their Chuir mun, Maj. 13. Sloan, tho following report : Mu. PRESIDENT t-Your Committeo being fully impressed with tho importance of tho' subject submitted to them for report, desire1 to express their conviction, in tho Qi st place, of tho necessity of such an institution, not only to tho County, but to tho State, and in fact to tho entire South In technical knowledge, tho Southern peo ple uro sadly deficient. How many fanners have any knowlcdgo of the character of tiiej soils of their fields, or of the constituent ele ments of thc crops they grow ? In this region of streams, how many of the land owners can uivo you any approximate estimate of the work tho struutU8 flowine through their prem ises can perform? Who on tell anything of the minerals or metals nbounding in thin mountainous region t How ninny hnvo thc faintest, conception of thc wealth which drain agc and irrigation can produce? How tnanv h ive the requisite knowledge of tho laws ol mechanics to save them from tugging, Sysy phus like, at some everlasting stone ? Should not these deficiencies iu education bc sup plied, and nt once, to our people now strug tiling against so many adverse circumstances i ! To those men who shall take tho first stops towards clearing nway these obstacles will bi duo everlasting honor. And should thc Col lege once bc rightly established its stabilitj ?will bo secured. The roll call of its student! Swill be auswered from every State in the South gntid au era of prosperity will at once begin tt ?dawn upon thc country. In proof of thu behold tlio wonderful and astounding succ?s! of tho P russians in tho war which they ari now waging, which success can be attribute? to nothing under Heaven but the universality in that country of just such technical knowl edge ns it is thc object of this school to dis seminole. Many difficulties arc nt first to ba encoun tored in thc establishment of thc College, i is to be expected, but thc greatest will be ti drstroy old ideas-to get thc people- out o thc old educational grooves, lt has boen th custom to consider that thc Agricultures stood in no great need of ah education, when as there is no culling which stands so obst lutcly in need of thc most varied and extet sive knowledge of thc laws nnrt ????r??t? r us turo. ! In spite of thc difficulties to bc encounte; ! ed, however, it is believed by your committc that there can bc no more propitious iiiomcti for thc inauguration of this movement tba the present. On nil sides the people ar eagerly seeking for thc moans to ret nov their fortunes They wish imniigrutiui whorons they hnvo immigration. Can it nt bc made clear to them that un enlightcnc and scientific cultivation of thc soil will muk their barren old fields teem with vegetab1 productions? That our forests may bc mac to yield up their hidden treasures? An that it is not improbable that there may I discovered to them beneath their very fcc ?mines of untold mineral wealth; and tin then, with educational advantages on all side no power on earth can turn back thc *esis less tide of immigration which will surely s I in upon them. In this important work, then, os a fir step, your Committeo is of opinion that i [Executive Committee, composed of five ge tlcmcn, taken from different sections of tl State, and known to be thoroughly imbin with tho spirit of this enterprise, should once bc appointed, and nil details of finan and of organization bc entrusted to it. As a second step, lot thc County bc ca vusscd, and the peoplo bc persistently urg to give according to their moans. Whatev can bc done in this way, should bc done once, nnd thc result declared by the 1st November, and, if favorable, then thc li; should be opened throughout the entire Sta md in fact th rou tr h out thc South. At t same time no efforts should bc spared to i euro the State share of thc land appropri?t by Congress for the establishment of su colleges. Nor should an effort bo spored secure a share of tho "Peabody fund." should be remembered however, that tho si cess of all these applications depend eulin upon tho amount raised in tho County. A whether all of theso projects nrc successful not, it is recommended that ns soon as a s ficicnt sum of money has been subscril and collected for tho poymcot of a few P fc83ors in tho most important branohes, (i Chemistry una its application to Ayricultu Mineralogy and Q oology, llotany, Math om ios and tho mechanics of solids and fluid tho College bc opened, thus forming a nm us for futuro work. It is especially urged that tho Collogo not crippled at tho outset by the cxpendit of groat sums of money, or worse still, contracting a heavy bonded debt, for hi piles of md staring brick, or vast rcotanj of pine boards called college buildings, ll 1er let thc funds bo applied, first, ns bel recommended, to securing tho very best ] fcssional talent, and, second, to procur complote sots of philosophical and other ar ra tus for the prac tic il exemplification of subjects to bo taught, i y Tho students at (irst might obtain bo among tho citizens of tho town, and some i nomionl provision bo mada for class, lecti or recitation rooms, leaving tho orect?oi tho main college building? tosueh time w tho institution shall bo self supporting, ito financial lifo secured, j An experimental farm should also bo tablishcd in connection with thc Collogo, win short, no moans be spared to illustrate ^theoretical by prnctioni Instruction; for ^mottet how highly tho intellect may bo ci "vated,, thc edacation which fuite to co tho inim. to apply this oulturo to tim com thou ; und practical purposes of lifo L deficient, jg Your Committee is, turthor, of opinion thu td tho College feos should be so moderated as tog muster ut first a largo number of students;* from various scot ions of tho Stuto in order that its character and o?lloioncy may bcoome wide ly known ut tho earliost possihlo momont-' cspeoial oaro being taken to hnvo it under" stood at onco that tho institution is not for. thc county alone, but for tito entire State, and in fact for tho South. In closing their report, your Committee cannot refrain from again dedaring that tho ontire sucoess of tho enterprise depends upon tho nmouut of money raised in tho county, and upon a happy selection of tho Executive Committee, tho members of w'doh being ta ken from different parts of tho State, 00uld| do much in getting material uid, and perhaps^ would bo of infinite sorvioo tn divesting tho enterpriso of any iippearanco of narrow scc-? tional selfishness. 3?.

QUEENSTOWN, TKELAND, Oct. 13-Thc1 details of a dreadful storm around our coast^ last night are coining io rapidly. At Limer j ?ck thc storm was a little short of u tornado.! One man was blown into a floating dock ?nd; was drowned. Another had his skull crushed] hy a falling chimney. Houses wore unroofed] iud vessels driven ashore. The storm wtis] very severo around tho southern coast. It^ will bc impossible to get details for several lays, lt is supposed that tnuny shipwrecks have occurred. An Arkansas paper tolls of n genius' who conceived that monkeys would, on account if their nimble fingers, make splendid cotton pickers with a Httlo training, and further inlouluted that one good band could manage ibout ten monkeys, and tho expense of cot ton picking be reduced toa minimum. When! tho experiment was tried, however, it was] found that instead of ono good hand being iblo to manage ten monkeys, it required about i eu good hands to ono monkoy. aOy In tho battlo of Metz sotoo of thc1 |Gcrman soldiers, os a protection against tho' continual showers of bullet.* that tho enemy poured upon them, fastened their knapsacks across their oliests.
