There is so much sickness throughout 1 Mississippi Vnlley that it is feared a large por- 1 tion of the Cotton crop of that region will be lost for the want of labor to save it. - .c B&- The Inst number of the T.aurcnsvillc n Herald contains a very appropriate announcement of the death of Col.

One farmer informed us that it took 1 ,GOO lbs. of toed cotton to make a 4*20 lb. bale. It usually turns out a third, but this year it yields only from one-fifth to one-quartef. #liia, with the low price, makes a deep hole in the planter's profits. We regret to learn that our old and esteemed friend, Mr. George Krrington Klford, died at his residence in Greenville on Monday night last, in the ftlst year of his age. The Greenville JVVzrs announces his death in a very appropriate and, to our individual knowledge, truthful tribute. A good man has been taken from us, and wesincerely sympathize with his deeply bereaved wife in her irreparable loss^ Poor Columbia. Judge Carpenter has issued a peremptory mandamus commanding the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Columbia to call and hold a meeting on the second Tuesday in January next and levy a tax upon all property liable to taxatiou in that city, sufficient to pay judgments obtained against (he city by three parties, amounting to $26,008, with in terest and costs of suit. - ? . i taif" Tlie Greenville Agricultural Fair last week was a great success. Wo regrot that wo could not attend. Gov. Chamberlain made an excellent speech, in which lie insinuated that lie was a Granger?iu principle. We hope he was initiated before he left the Mountain City; but fear the outside political pressure was too great. We are pleased to henr of his mingling among the people. In that way only will lie he able to appreciate their spiritand condition. * * 4 S*i> The Sun, is the name of a new paper just started at Anderson by Mr. It. K. Itelcher. It is quite small in size, but spirited to a fault. It had only issued two numbers when it "got its back up" and threatened to sue somebody for saying it was controlled by llapublicans. It must havo taken a lesson from a "big brother" who is famous for threatening other people \ when they don't sjoak of him just to pleaso his | self esteem. j , President D. It.

Th? County FairW? enclose in this i*sue a copy of tlie Prciui- I tim List for ilie Fair to be held here next week j We send it as a Supplement to the Tune* first be- ! cause we have not room for it in our regular is?ue, and next, bee use we think it will be more likely to attract attention in that form. It will be seen that some additions and changes have been made in it since it was last published. Premiums for I borough-bred horses, which were inadvertently overlooked before, are added; additions have been made to some of the Committees, and changes made in others. That it is not sveii now perfect, there is no doubt, hut we do know that the Committee tried very hard to [dense everybody, ami if they luive not succeeded it was not from any want of inclination to do to on their part. We have had considerable experience in such natters, and we have always found that the larder we strove to please all the more sure vere we to displease a very large number of lersons. llut the Fair is not gottcu up so much to plen.se my one as to incite a spirit of emulation among ho people to improve their stock, to increase ind improve the product* of their furuis, to re. luce their expenses and to make them better acliiaintcd with the beet of the many labor-saving mpleinents that are now so advantageously used 11 other sections. _ It is not merely fof-tftcipurpose of giving a nan a premium for Ik flrib horse, cow or hog hat these exhibitjoqytiCgBUeu up. If there vas 110 other motlv^Tnan that, none but those vho have fine stock would take any interest in hem ; hut they are intended to show what imirovcmcnts arc annually inadc and how they ire made, so that all may, if they choose to do in, take advantages of (lie economies adopted ind produce the best at the least cost. Every individual in the Comity is interested n improving and increasing its productions ipon the most economical basis, therefore it is he interest of every one to help gather together Ltinually the best products ami learn from their uvners or producers how they arc produced, so >s to profit from tliein. Every man, woman and child who has any* iiing in which they feel a pride?even to a fine iiiby, notwithstanding there is no premium itfered this year fur such productions?should uing it to the exhibition, and if there is nulling of the kind belter on. exhibition, they will ake home a premium ; if any one excels it the tliers may he able to learn how it was done and ic successful next year. I.et everybody contribute something, it will ic new and interesting to others and will do inch towards makinr the Fair n mireeuj Remember, although (he exhibition is under lie auspices of the Oranges, none outside of lint order nre excluded hut nil are invited to mrticipnte and compete. IVc are pleased to learn that many persons rom a distance will exhibit improved plows, (arrows, and other agricultural implements. Union can, if the people will, make as fine an xhihition us any County in the State, and we ope her citizens will make an effort to secure lie of the Premiums offered by the State Society ir the largest and best exhibition of articles of 11 kinds exhibited by any County in the State. t^Qur "_Farnier"., ?vvvcra ..tjxs ^noiejjroun^^^namifTO^^^W^^W^M think our people could want nothing more en to induce them to do everything in their pow to make the Fair a success. ^ Greenville, Abbeville, Anderson, Darlingt j ami some other Counties arc now boastfully i juicing over the great success of the Fairs late held, and we hope Union will not be liehii i them. We can beat them all, if we will. \ have as good Farmers and Mechanics, as go ' housewives, and as pretty women as they. 1 Let us show them off next Wednesday. , . . The Confederate Dead. We presume it is only necessary for us call attention to the announcement made by t l.a lies In our columns this week, that a Oral Promenade Concert will be given on next We nesdny night, for the benefit of the Ladies Mon ment Association of South Carolina, to insure full attendance. What true Southern heart w not gladly respond to the call made by our I dies? Who is there in our section that will i fuse to contribute something to so noble a cnus The Confederate dead hnve no public trensur no plethoric purges of ft few men nuulc rich I the shedding of Southern blootl And the ruin the Southern section, to apply to for aid to ere monuments to their memory, as the soldiers the Northern armies have. For the erection such memorials to our gallant dead, we have depend upon the promptings of every Southei heart to contribute from his or her poverty urn but voluntary contributions. We feel confident the people of Union wi answer the call made upon them with wi!1in| ness and liberality. They have ever been four among the foremost in such commendable unde takings, and we cannot think they will be four wanting iu this. - - ? Heretofore our merchants have depent ed upon the Atlanta, Augusta and other ntil located in other States, for their best Brands ? Flour, and our citizens have bogun to neliev that our own mills could not turn out Flout either in quality or quantity to suit the want of the people. That idea can easily he explode by calling on our friends Humphries & Hill an aaking for Flour made at Tench & Hawkins Mill. V on will find it there in any quantit, and we assure all that it is equal to any Flou wo ever used. Wc have tested it in all way* from a loaf of light broad to a batter cake, am we pronounce it capital. This is not iutendei as a mere puff, but to call the attention of ou people to the fact that we can raise us goo? wheai and make as good Flour as any one else Maj. Tench informs us thnt ho raised 60< bushels of wheat last year, from which he umdi 100 bbls. of Flour, with shorts, bran, &c. Thi Flour is worth SI,000, and we venture to saj that it cost less to produce that one thounmd dol lars' worth of Flour than it has any inan ir Union to raise $300 worth of Cotton. As i proof that there is more money iu wheat than Cotton. Maj. Tench informs us that he intends tc sow for 1,000 bushels next year. This is reform in the right direction, sure. Keep in that ll-Ofllf M-i"- ' ' auu juu nr? .Hire 10 will. "Tlio exjiensej of the show were very heavy in Spartanburg?$186 town license, $2<H> county license, bill boards and advertisements $200, lot $10, to say noting of blacksmithing, livery stables and hotel bills. They paid the Air Line railroad $1,000 for the use of three engines. It sertainly takes some money to run a first class jircus." Thbt's all right, but if they didn't take a?*ny ibout as much as they expended, we are greatly nistaken. Peddler*. We are decidedly opposed to Peddlers. As a general tiling they arc utterly unreliable, iui<l their wares uro cither of fraudulent character or they are not honestly obtained. In this wc do not include Agents and Peddlers of specific articles, but we only nllude to those who traverse the country either with packs on their backs or in wagon ?, vending miscellaneous articles such as are kept for sale by our merchants. They do great injury to the County, particularly to the merchants who settle among us, invest their money in permanent business, become our fellow citizens, neighbors nud friends, help pay our taxes, build up our public enterprises and develope all the industries of the country.? They can be found when wanted, and when they sell an article and it proves inferior to what it is represented tliey are not only willing to cxchange it hut can be made responsible for any damage. Not so witii the Peddler. He is not a citizen of the County; he pays no County taxes, he aids none of our enterprises and feels no interest in the prosperity of the people. He sells you his goods, and will cheat you if lie can, but if he docs, you can obtain no redress? he takes your money and is gone out of reach. Our citizens in the country do the merch uits great injustice by patronizing these itinemnt cheats and impostors, and our country merchants and their friends should use tlicil UlltlUfce. to stop su4trfifoflic. Wc are led to these remarks by being informed that a so-called merchant, residing in a County some distance from this, bus five or six wagons traversing Union County selling all kinds of Dry floods, Jewelry, &c. They stop at the plantations,?particularly just after some jotton lias been sold?open out their glittering wares and allure the credulous to make purchases.? All this trade is thrown into the hands of strangers who care not a fig for us ; and is like taking so much money out of the County. If buyers were benefitted we might not object so much, but we know thoy are not?on the contrary, we know that in nine out of ten purchases they arc injured. From what we have heard, these Peddlers in wagons take thousands of dollars out of the County every month. The man who scndis them out does not do a legitimate mercantile business, lie is nothing more nor less than a boss Peddler with a depot for storing his goods in a neighboring village, among iiiefvliants who would not stoop to sucli unfair means to obtain trade. It is not the town merchants alone who are in- | jurca ny tliesc I'edtllcrs, but they n fleet the business of our country merchants more, in proportion, than they <lo those in town. Correspondent of Barnwell County, to the Columbia />'rgi?ter gives a striking illustration of the reform tliey arc enjoying there.? lie says a Committee of the Tax Union have made every effort to bring the corrupt, inefficient and drunken County otticers, with which Barnwell is cursed, to justice, but the Solicitor?one Wiggin?refused to send bills to the Grand Jury against them. The Chairman of the prosecuting Committee of the Tax Union, in an address to the County Union, said : "Your Committee has done its whole duty in the matter of the Clerk of Court and I'robate Judge; but the State's Solicitor, instead of lendingihis ^-operation to vindicate t^e_b>wa of the M Me fail to see the^^^^W cr Every day brings us accounts of rhe tiios ?*hnn ful practices among County officials? while the 0,1 whose official duty it is to bring them to justu re" in almost every instance shield the rascals. ^7 Governor Chamberlain said he felt more i "'I tcrest in the present and future than the pai I* but while he carefully avoids any action lookii od to the punishing of official thieves of the pas ? he is equally careful not to put himself to at trouble to sec that those of the present a brought to justice. ' We don't expect him to rt ,0 about the State hunting up corrupt, incfficieti l1(J thieving officials, but we do expect hiin to noti and condemn their nets when they arc mm j. public. He, no doubt, sticks to the letter u. the law governing his official powers, but ei a tircly ignores the spirit. r -v. 111 We arc often sorely puzzled to distil *" guish the political difference between the Colon >c" bia Union-llerald and the Charleston Xe re or IC* Courier. If the Union-lie:<?<V i.>~* gvod Kepttl y. lican paper the Xeum and Conner is so too, an by if the .V Vtrs and Courier is a good Conservatit ?f paper the Union-Herald is about as good. I'n !Ct ticulnrly is this the case when any Conservatit of Editor treads on the toes of our ltepublicn of Governor and Treasurer. In such an event w 1? don't know which halloes the quickest an pt* loudest?their Charleston or Columbia chan *'l pious. As Cnrdoz^l owns an interest in th c.mom~/leraitT, and is one of (lie bosses of thi oonoCrn, we qaturally expect to hour it squei K* when lie is Hftrt, but why it should hurt th Xncs and Courier folks so bod as to cause tbei r" to jump up so quick and shout 'got off tliei toes," is a mystery to eokservatives. Somt times it appears as if the r'nion-Ifertild depend j ed upon its Charleston fr:? nds to give the signx I for the shout, and then t! <? contest is, which cn r shout the loudest. It iooks strange? anu# to some people vor, 0 suspicious?to see the k*^3pg (?) conservativ r* paper of this State, so i* be con H sidered the champion of tId) lenders of tho Re *' publican party. To us?nn l v.e are not alone by a long shot?it is a mysteriously inconsistcti 1 affair?that's all. j r *0u The Union-Herald fid.tor declines t< ! acknowledge Mr. Bmlyn, the lo? ?1 Editor of th< | Columbia Register, as hlr mother-in-law. Thi j Greenville AW* says they've had a fuss in rhi r family, and that's tho reason for not owning tin 1 relationship; but the Herald man gives the bes reason in the world?"he's got one mother-in ) law"?and in the mildest manner possible says hi B has "no tut for more." lie was allowed It s sleep at home that night. No use for more, eh r Didn't say "and ttiat's more than wo can wel . stand." i Characteristic.?"For such charges and ink simiatious there is no foundation in fact. They are, in general ami in particular, utterly false. This we have said again and again; so that per' sons who now assail The )r- * und Courier Jftpotv what they are doing, am! ought to know what to expect." That is pretty cool, and will, no doubt, "fright the souls of fearful adversaries;" but when human nature is so changed that men guilty of "corrupt conduct" will not deny that they are corrupt, we might be ready to bolievc any man to be a saint upon his cwn i/>se dixit, notwithstanding circumstances may be strong aguinst that belief. ? lt#l) _ 1'rival0 telesrnnh rle<mai?i.?? ?!? ?i.-? j the eater poyifji of Austin!

Having heard complaints among the farmers against the old 'grass-hopper" machine formerly used iu this market for weighing Cotton, they have very properly purchased a pair of Kairbanks' Platform Standard Scales for that purpose, so that there can be no good cause for dispute or complaint hereafter about the weight or weigher of Cotton. So bring on your ('otton, gentlemen. Our Cotton Buyers pay full prices, are anxious to buy, and will sell you goods but little above bankrupt aud failing prices. They propose to deal lionCSt 1V. fill rmiiiti Thou ~ * - ?11 ? , \?w i v/%< IV |JUII wool over your eyes while they soli you articles lit high prices and tlieu remove it so that you may see how nwful cheap (?) they sell others. We have known men to go to other markets and save ">0 cents on two sacks of salt while they paid from $8 to $5 more for a bill of other articles than they could have bought them in this town. That's what we call "comical economy." Mr. Funt. the weigher, is an honest man and wishes to satisfy all parties. He, therefore, proposes to any one dissatisfied with his weighing thut they shall call in a responsible friend to examine the scales, and have the Cotton weighed again, for which second weighiui^n*eh%tge will be made. Nothing be nifcljl fin mi any man. With tru# 4N ?>; flTfirri ing no harm tan paftslbq^Ptb'e^ftief the We should like to see the following test made: When a bale of Cotton does not hold out upon our scales with the weight at the gin, let the same bale be taken back, the steelyards at the gin properly adjusted, and then weigh the Cotton again. If there is a difference then, there must be something wrong somewhere anil should bo found out; but we must not condemn one weigher without being sure that the other is right. tVe have seen a bale of Cotton gain ten pounds, even on the oltl "grasshopper" used by Mr. Funt, and errors arc as likely to occur on one side us the other. A Cheap Fertiliser Offered. A few days ago we accidentally met on our streets Maj. Tlios. II. lloniar, who is now working the lime quarries at Limestone Springs, and in course of conversation lie mentioned that lie had discovered in that, region some large deposits of valuable materials for forming a Fertilizer equally as good as any now manufactured and sold nt exorbitant prices. With these materials he now proposes that the Farmers themselves shall form a Joint Stock Company for the manufacture of their own Fertilizer. lie thinks ?and if he has the ingredients lie say? he has, which we have no reason to doubt?he can produce a Fertilizer as good as the best in the market. at less than onc-lialf the cost of the latter. We suggest that some of our enterprising Planters look into this matter at once. If Maj. lloniar can save to the farmers one-half the money they now pay for Fertilizers, it will be a perfect God-send to them. At our request the Mnj. lias written us the following, to which we refer our readers: Mu. 11. M.

Kditoii :?The "bill of fare'' present 0f by the Executive Committee under the auspii ri. of the Pomona Grange is sufficiently temptir it would seem, to draw out everyliody in t town and country who feels a spark of interi in developing the resources of the County. " But for fear that some peo; lc may not be ali to the importance of feeling an interest, we b '' leave to otfer a few suggestions : Many people will be deterred from bringi ,e an animal, a Held product, a garden vegetable P" jelly or jam, a pot of butter or jar of lard, e an article of needle work, patchwork or embroi cry, from a belief or feeling that somebody w e have something nicer on exhibition. Now, this is not the proper spirit, and i County will ever get up a decent exhibiti< 16 where the people are influenced by such notion *" We have had a good deal to do with Fairs ai have often heard visitors exclaim, "if we hi knowu what we know now we could have be 11 a good many things here on exhibition." V n remember once an "Id gentleman took us out show us his herd of cattle. They were fat ar good looking. "l)o you think that they wl take a Premium ?" he asked. We replied, don n knew ; but there's nothing like trying. I! sent them and came home with his pocket fu ^ of Premiums. c Tho great object of a Fair is improvement.If "Mr. Nobody" never went from home, 1 would never know but lie had the best of evert ' thing, llut if he goes out and finds that otht L people have better things, his judgment is in proved, his eyes opened to conviction and h > sc:s to work to improve his condition. The s tho iutercst of a Fair much depends upon tli e variety?every little thing helps and everybod b who has uuything on exhibition naturally feel e more interest in the exhibition than if ho ha t nothing. The resources of a Country arc mail ly brought to notice by means of those Hurt s Kx.iibilions, and in the Western, North-wester , an 1 middle States, all the great Agriculturx , Stiles, immense crowds turn out at their Count Fnirs, everything that is rare, useful or interest ' ing is on exhibition, and a social influence i disscmininateil which compacts the Agriculturs class into n brotherhood which is now manifest tug itself in (lie Orange!) as one of the nios powerful in (lie government.

There is no news of much importance in and about the surroundings. The latest agony is that the Depot at Jonesville is to he moved about three-quarters of a mile West above the residence of Daniel Uallmnti. The Depot has been standing where it now is about Id years, during which time lots have been bought and improved. Four good public roads, well located, centre on this point, and all the surroundings designate the present locality ns the one most suitable for a Depot. We know that the celebrated eurve.tfor honks high on the grade nt this point, but we have never seen any great inconvenience in the stoppages nnd starts of the trains, and if they eon1 |>uoo \fj vii niv iiiuiu unvn o'wv *a?vix Villi iJC put in which would answer every purpose. The L>cpot was once located nt the place where ii is now proposed moving it to; but the incon* venience of the location caused the patrons to clauior aud petition was got up, and it was moved back to its-present locality* . .. ?>' We are informed that the parties proposing the move offer 3 acres of land, and propose to build un addition to t ie old depot when moved. We, the citizens of Joncsville, offer equally as much to let it stay where it best suits the whole country, and if the Depot is too small for the trade carried on at this place we are ready, if required, to enlarge it: and if a side track is needed we arc ready to "break dirt" and have one put m at once. We want it understood that we are not opposed to progress, but that in the election for the i? 150,000 subscription to the Western extension of this road only one or two dissenting votes appeared; and one man who owns property here rode in the cold to distribute the ballotboxes, and no doubt through his influence, with that of many others, the project was carried, besides he privately subscribed $500.00 himself, and got two others to subscribe like amounts. In view of all this we would bo compelled to think ourselves aggrieved if the old Depot is picked up aud carried off to a new location to suit the few to the discomfiture of the many; and we arc persuaded better things of our active, energetic and gentlemanly Superintendent than this; and if he needs assistance to enlarge his Depot or put tu a side track we are on hand..
