Btiir Wc have not room to publish all the failures, suspensions, &c., that have been reported the past week front England, Canada, France nnd the North and West of the United States. There is so much sickness throughout Mississippi Valley that it is feared a large portion of the Cotton crop of that region will be lost for the want of labor to save it. The last number of the Laurensville Herald contains a very appropriate announcement of the death of Col. Henry C. Young, one of the oldest lawyers, as well as one of the purest men in the State, lie had attained the advanced age of 83 years. ? nujU i lie f isli season lias conic, and we cxpcct to revel in brain food?we want something of that kind, badly. Our friend II. J. Thompson is receiving supplies of fish nnd oysters, fresh from the sea-shore twice a week,?Tuesday and Friday?and they go like hot cakes. ? . _ .? a. The beautiful Terra C'otto Caps over the windows of Messrs. Spears & Oolton and Mr. Grant's new Stores give thoso buildings a vejy handsome city-like appearance. Wo doubt much if there are handsomer stores in any part of the South. They will soon bo fiuished and occupied. ?. Skiy A gentleman who lias traveled through the South for some years past told us last week that the Union Hotel was the handsomest furnished and best kept Hotel above Charleston.? ^11 n,sn h'8 *c~ "Some UuT^L, .?nl U, t?. .f t>" Uo. we .vet ???'

We sec by tlic Charleston papers that a similar to the Epizootic has made its np_arance among the horses iu that City. Out farmers and all others who own horses should adopt every means to keep it away. We have seen it stated that Carbolic Acivl, Assafuelida, &c., tied around the bits and placed in the manger are preventives. ?ST Mun Fant knows what's what, as well as other folks, Last week he made us country folks think we lived in a ' city by the sea," by exhibiting a huge live sea Turtle before his store. ' He sent us a good steak and a flipper from it, which was truly fine. He keeps all kind^of good things and serves them up in style. Just try a plate of his oysters, F. 11. S. - -? ??. The cotton crop is turning out very unsatisfactorily. From all quarters we learu that its yield from the gin is less than tver known before. One farmer informed us that it look l.GOO lbs. of seed cotton to make a 420 lb. bale. It usually turns out a third, but this year it yields only from one-fifth to one-quartet. this, with the low price, makes a deep hole in the planter's profits. >. fifcfir We regret to learn that our old and es- i teemed friend, 11 r. George Brrington Klford, died at his residence in OreenviUe on Monday 1 night lost, in the 51st year of his age. 1 Tl..

We regret that we j could not attend. Gov. Chamberlain m?<u ?? excellent Hpeecli, iu which he inafcaaated that he waa a Granger?in principle. We hope he waa t initiale.l before he left the Mountain City ; but j fear the outside political preaaure waa too great, f We are pleased to hear of hie mingling among ( the people. In that way only will lge be able to j, appreciate their apirit and condition. 4 I ? " 0 ?**> The Sun, ia the nante of a new paper ^ jnet started at Anderson by Mr. R. K.

Duncan, of the .Spartanburg cj and Asherillo Railroad, has been appointed by the Gorernor as one of the delegates to attend the railroad conrention at St. Louis, ou the 23rd of November next.?Spartan. tn If ' The County FairW? enclose iu this issue a copy of tlie Premium List for the Fair to be held here next week We send it as a Supplement to the Time*first because we have not room for it in our regular issue, and next, bee use we think it will be more likely to attract attention in tliut form. It will bo seen that some additions and chauges have been mado in it since it was last published. Premiums for thorough-bred horses, which were inadvertently overlooked before, are added; additions havo been made to some of the Committees, aud changes made in others. That it is not even now perfect, there is no doubt, but we do know that the Committee tried very hard to please everybody, and if they have not succeeded it was not from any want of inclination to do so on their part. We have had considerable experience in such matters, and we have always found that the harder wo strove to please all the more sure were we to displease a very large number of persons. But the Fair is uot gotten up so much to please any one a* to incite a spirit of emulation among the people to improve tlicir stock, to increase and improve the products of their tangs, to re. duco their expense* aodto make Iheubetiereo quaintcd with thehebt of the many laKor-edvin^ implements that are now so n3vantageqtttM|M|lk in other sections. ?.-v i It is not merely Mflttipurpoio of giving a man a premium for lijMRtorso, cow Qia-hog that these exhibitt*M|^Hwt?o up. If there was no other motM^m^raat, none but those who have fine stock would take any interest in them ; hut they are intended to show what improvements arc annually made and how they are made, so that all may, if thoy choose to do so, take advantages of the economies adopted and produce the best at the least cost. Every individual in the County is interested in improving and increasing its productions upon the most economical basis, therefore it is the interest of every one to help gather together annually the best products and learn from their owners or producers how they are produced, so as to profit from them. Every man, wotnau and child who has anything in which they feel a pride?even to a fine baby, notwithstanding there is no premium offered this year for such productions?should bring it to the exhibition, and if there is nothing of the kind better on exhibition, they will take home a premium ; if any one excels it the others may be able to learn how it was done nnd be successful next year. Let everybody contribute something, it will he new and interesting to others and will do much towards making the Fair a success. Remember, although the exhibition is under the auspices of the Granges, none outside of that order arc excluded but all are invited to participate aud compete. We are pleased to learn that many persons from a distance will exhibit improved plows, Harrows, and other agricultural implements. Union can, if the people will, make as fine an exhibition as any County in the State, and we hope her citizens will tnake an effort to secure one of the Premiums offered by the State Society for the largest and best exhibition of articles of nU kinds exhibited by any County in the State. I think our people could want nothing moffc said to induce them to do everything in their power to msko the Fair a success. Greenville, Abbeville, Anderson, Darlington and some other Counties are now boastfully rejoicing over the great success of the Fairs lately held, and we hope Unien will not be behind them. We can beat them all, if we will. We have ns good Farmers and Mechanics, as good housewives, and as pretty women as they.? Let us show them off next Wednesday. . The Confederate Dead. We presume it is only necessary for us to call attention to tho announcement made by the La lies in our columns this week, that a Grand Tromennde Concert will be given on next Wednesday night, for the benefit of the Ladies Monument Association of South Carolina, (o insure a full attendance. WhAt true Southern heart will not gladly respond to the call made by our Ladies? Who is there in our section that will refuse to contribute something to so noble a cause? The Confederate dead have no public treasury, no plethoric purses of a few ineu made rich by the shedding of Southern blood and the ruin of the Southern section, to apply to for aid to erect monuments to their memory, as the soldiers of the Northern armies have. For the erection of such memorials to our gallant dead, wa have to depend upon tha promptings of every 8onth?rin heart to contribute from bis or her poverty a mat] but voluntary contributions. We feel confident the people of Union wlM answer the call made npon them with wtfHnf* nau iim! llhmlltv vi?- > *--- " ? -..-j . iudt iiiivcir neen TDUlKI among lb* fomwt la aaeh commendable undertakings, and we sennit think they will be found wanting in this. 7 * ??? Vffb. Ileretofora our merchants have depended upon Ska Atlanta, Augusta and other mills located in other States, for their best Brands of Flour, and our citizens hare begun to believe that our Wb milts oould not turn out Flour, either ia quality or quantity to suit the wants of the people. That idea ean easily be exploded by calling on our friends Humphries A Hill and j taking for Fleer pado at Teach A Da whins' ( MR. Ton will flatf it there In any quantity tnd we assure all that it is eqh# to any Flsifr re ever used. We have tested It in all way*,}* Vow a loaf of light bread t* a bailer cake, ttafl re pronounce it capital. This Is not Intended is a mere puff, but to call the attention of our x>ople to the /hot that we can raise us good vheat and make as good Flour as any one else. Maj. Tench informs us that he raised 600 uishels of wheat last year, from which he made 00 bbls. of Flour, with shorts, bran, Ac. The 'lour is worth $1,000, and we venture to aay hat it coat less to produce that omt thoHtund doltrs' worth of Flour than it has any man in Jnion to raise $300 worth of Cotton. As a roof that there is more money in wheat than , lotion, Maj. Tench informs us that he inlands to ow for 1,000 bushels next year. This ia re jrw in m? ugnt direction, sure. Keep in that ? rack, Major, aod you are aure to win. _ * "The expenseg of the ahow were eery hoary w i Spartanburg?$186 town license, $200 oounr license, bill boards and advertisements $200, " 8 $10, to say neAiing of blacksmlthing/lirery ables aAd hotel bills. They paid the Air Line a vilroad $1,000 for the nse of three engines. It B irtainly takes some money to run a first class ^ Tbbt's all right, but if they didn't take away out as much as they expended, we are greatly tl istaken. ' b\ A ' . ) ?? Peddlers. We arc decidedly opposed to Peddlers. Aa a general thing they are utterly unreliable, and their wares uro either of fraudulent character or they arc not honestly obtained. In this we do not include Agents and Peddlers of specific articles, but we only allude to those who traverse the country either with packs on their backs or in wngons, vending miscellaneous articles such as are kept for sale by our merchant*. They do great injury to the County, particularly to the merchants who settlo utn^ug us, invest tlioir money in permanent business, become our fellow oitisens, neighbors and 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 the* tell an ariicio and it proves inferior to what it is represented they are not only willing to cx-^ change it but can be made responsible for any^ damage. Not so with the Peddler. He is not n 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. Hs sells you his goods, and will cheat you if he can, but if he docs, you can obtain no redress? he takes your money and is gone out of rcaA. do the merchants Wo are led to these remarks hy being intorised that a so-called merchant, residing in a County some distance front this, has five or six wagons traversing Union County selling all kinds of Dry Goods, Jewelry, &c. They stop ot the plantations,?particularly just after some ootton has been sold?open out their glittering wares and allure the credulous to make purchasos.? 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 wore benefitted we might not object so much, but we know they arc not?on the contrary, we know that in nine out of ten purchases they are injured. Prom what we have heard, those Peddlers in wagons take thousands of dollars out of the County every month. The man who sends them out does not do a legitimate mercantile business. He is nothing more nor less tlisn a boss Peddler with a depot for storing his goods in a neighboring village, among ineKlnnits who would not stoop to such unfair means to obtain trade. It is not the town incrchantA alone who arc injured by these Peddlers, but they affect the business of our country merchants more, in proportion, than they do those in town. w A Correspondent of Ihiruwell County, to the Columbia Iirguler gives a striking illustration of the reform they are enjoying there.? He says a Committee of the Tax Union hate made every effort to bring the corrupt, inefficient and drunken County officers, with which Barnwell is cursed, to justice, but (he Solicitor?one Wiggin?refused to seud bills to the Grand Jury against them. The Chairman of the prosecutiug 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 Probate Judge; but the State's Solicitor, instead of lending.liis ft>-operation to vindicate t^ejaws of the Erery day brings us accounts of HictjfoH fhanicful practices among County offio'.f?TJC wkH* those whose official duty it is to bring iliem ta justice, in almost every instance shield the rascals. Governor Chamberlain said he felt more interest in the present and future than the past, but while he carefully avoids any action looking to the punishing of official thieves of the past, he is equally careful not to put himself to any" trouble to im ilifti ?-?* * u< >v iTtscrii are brought to justice. ' We don't hxpect him to run about the State hunting up corrupt, inefficient, thieving officials, but we do expect him to notice and condemn their nets when they are made public. He, no doubt, sticks to the letter of the law governing his of$cial powers, but entirely ignores the spirit. ? . -J We are often sorely puzzled to distinguish the political difference between the Columbia Union-Herald and the Charleston tCe-ee and Courier. If the Union-JienUd Lt+gcjti"Republican paper the Xetea and Courier is ho too, and if the Ne*o? and Courier is a good Conservative paper the Union-Herald is about as good. Particularly is this the case when any Conservative Editor treads on the toes of our Republican flotWHf and Treasurer. In snch an event we don't know which balloon the quickest and loudest their Charleston or Columbia champions. As (htrdos^l owns an interest in the UnioUr Herald and is one ?f the bossee of tknft oonalrn, wo flfttsn-ally esfftit to hear It squeal wb|i he is "Mrt, but utify It should hurt the NeUt and Courier folks so bad as to cause tbem to jomp np so quick end shout -'get off them toes." is a nivaterv tn - - ? ?

Our worthy Town Council ore doing good serrice for tho town. Having* heard complaints among the farmers against the old "graas-hoppor" machine formerly used in this market foi weighing Cotton, they have very properly purchased a pair of Fairbanks' 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 Cotton, 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 honestly, all round. They do not propose to pull wool over your eyes while they sell you artielei at lrigh prices aud then remove it so that you may see how awful cheap (T) they sell others. We have known men to go to other markets and savo 50 cents on two sacks of salt while they paid from $3 to $5 more for a bill of other articles than they could have bought them in this town. That's what wo call "comical nwinnmn " Mr. Fant, the weigher, is an honest man and wishes to satisfy all parties. He, therefore, proposes to any one dissatisfied with his weighing that ihey shall call in a responsible friend tc examine the scales, and hare the Cotton weighad again, for which second weighiuuMlriMkMpUl be made. hUm any man,. Wll^ Ing no buyer or s4{cr of <M We shrttWirio see the following test made: When a bale of Cotton does not hold out upon our scales with tho weight at the gin, let tlx same bale be taken back, the steelyards at tlx gin properly adjusted, and then weigh tho Cotton again. If there is a difference then, thcr< must be something wrong somewhere and should bo found out; but we must not condemn om weigher without being sure that the other it right. We hare seen a bale of Cotton gain ten pounds, even on the old "grasshopper'' used bj Mr. Fant, and errors arc as likely to occur or one side as the other. A Cheap Fertiliser Offered. A few days ago wc accidentally met on oui streets Maj. Thos. II. Uomar, who is now work ing tho lime quarries at Limestone Springs, and in course of conversation he mentioned that h< had discovered in tlint region some large depos its of valuable materials for forming a Fertili zer equally as good as any uow manufactured and Bold at exorbitant prices. With these ma terials he now proposes that the Farmers them selves shall form a Joint Stock Company for tlx manufacture of their own Fertiliser. He think; ?and if he has the ingredients he says he lias which we have no reason to doubt?he can pro duce a Fertilizer as good as the best in the mar kct, at less than one-half the cost of the latter Wo suggest that some of our enterprising Plan ters look into this matter at once. If Maj. Bo mnr can save to the farmers one-half the monej tlicy now pay for Fertilisers, it will l?e a perfect God-send to tlicii). At our request the Maj. lint written us the following, to which we rcfor out readers : Mk. 11. M. Stokk*.?In accordance with youi request 1 give you tny views i i relation to a For tilizing Compound that I propose to ninuufnc lure. 1 received from the Georgia Slate Chemist i formula for a Compound which contains all ? at $80 00 a ton?as I hffve nearly all of the in Sredients at my Lime Works nt Limestone prings. A movement is on foot in Spartanburg Countj to orgnuize a Joint Stock Company, principallj among the Grangers, to buy an interest and assist me to develop? these resources, that havi thus I een providentially opened just as out country is becoming exhausted and impover ished. If the Union County Grangers, either ai Granges or individuals, wish to co-operate with us we will extend to theia a liberty welcome. Yours. &c., Tuoe. II. Bomak. For the Times. The County Voir. Mji. Kiutoii :?The "bill of flare" presented by the Executive Committee under the auspicet of the Pomona Grange is sufficiently tempting, it would seeing to draw out everybody in th< town and country who feels a spark of interest in developing the resoaroee of the County.? But for fear that some peoj le may not be alivt to tbe importance of feeling an interest, we bej leave to offer a few suggestions : Meny people will be deterred from bringing an auirnnl, a field produot, a garden vegetable, s jolly or jnra, a pot ofrbutter or jar of lard, oi an artlclo of needle work, patchwork or embroidery, from a belief or feeling that somebody will have something nicer on exhibition. - Now, this is jiot the proper spirit, and nc Chunty wilt ever get up a decent exhibition where the people are influenced by sueh aetiops. n? nave nau a good deal to do with Pairs and have often heard visitors ex claim, "if we had known what we know now we oould have heat % good many things here on exhibition." W? remember once an "Id gentleman took ne Mt to show us his herd of cattle. They were fht end good looking. "Do you think that thejr will take a Premium ?" he asked. We replied, don't know; but there's nothing like trying. Ho eat them and earns home with bis peeket ftill of Premiums. The great object of a Fair li improvement.? If "Mr. Nobody" never went from borne, he would never know but he had the beet of everything. But if he goes ont and Cade that other people have better things, his judgment is Improved, his eyes opened to oonvietion and be seie to work to improve his condition. Then the interest of a Fair much depends upon the variety?overy little thing helps and everybody who has anything on exhibition naturally feels more interest in the exhibition than if he had nothing. The resotiroes of a Country are mainly brought to notice by means of those Rural Exhibitions, and in the Western, North-western and middle States, all the great Agricultural Sutes, immense crowds turn out at their County Fairs, everything that is rare, useful or interest ing is on exhibition, and a social influence is Jis8emminated which compacts the Agricultural class into a brotherhood which is now manifestng itself in the Oranges as one of the most l>owerful in the government. We entreat every one to turn out?not for the Mtltry premium, but the people's good. FARMER. , Wl* ?~?

SPECIAL NOTICES. Aboat Jonesville Mb. Editor :?Some of us regularly read your paper, and I suppose that we will have to encroach on your columns a line or two for this privilege. There is no news of much importance in and about the surroundings. The latest agony is that the Depot at Jonesville is to be moved about three-quarters of a mile West above the residence of Daniel Gallmnn. The Depot has been standing where it now is about 14 years, during which lime lots have been bouslit und imnrovnl Four good public roads, well located, centre on tUis point, atid all the surroundings designate the present locality as the one tnost suitable for a Depot. We know that the celebrated eurveyor banks high on the grade at this point, but we have nerer seen any great inconvenience in the stop* pages and starts of the trains, and if they ean> pass by on the main track a side track can be put in which would answer every purpose. The' Depot was once looated at the place where it is now proposed paoijng it. to; but the incon* venience of the location caused the petrous to ? *"'""" t We aff^formed {hat the parties proposing the move offer 8 iorftr"of land, and propose to build an addition to fie old depot when moved. We, the citizens of Joneaville, 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 arrf ready, if required, to enlarge it: and if a side track is needed we are ready to "break dirt" and have one put in at onoe. We want it understood that we are not opposed to progress, but that in the election for the $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 be compelled to think ourselves aggrieved if the old Depot is picked up and carried off to a new location to suit the few to the discomfiture of the many; and we are persuaded better things of our active, energetic and gentlemanly Superintendent than this; and if he needs assistance to enlarge his Depot or put tn a side track we aYeon hand..
