This does not look like n want of confidence ( in the business future of the town, or a want of .. money among soine of our citizens. 0 The fact is. with all the opposition we encoun" ter now, the town of Union is bound to do her full share of the best business of the county.?

The chnriots ihd 3ptenditKTS9?Iumes, with all i je paraphernalia of a circus, were of tlie most elaborate uid costly description ; but the success of the ilfair is as much owing to the artistic taste of he proprietor as the lavish expense which he lus entered into.

Kimtok Timks.?The month of October?lovelicst month of ull?has opened upon us beautifully, and suggests the importance of now chalking out work for tho coming year. If you want to economize, to lire at homo, upon your own resources, don't put it off until new year, when most of your money will bo gone, and you will be looking arouud for credit. Lay your plans now, with a resolution to carry them out. Prepare your ground for wheat and sow during this month, if pottible. After tho first or second picking of cotton, you can, with three scooter furrows to the row, sow your wheat; the treading in the after picking, will make it tiller well, aud you may almost be sure of a good yield, if the land is good and adapted to wheat. Wheat should never be covered deep. He sure to soak it well, in a strong solution of HlueStone, or salt, uud roll it in lime. He sure that you dissolve me limestone. uon t nave u it no Joe Bedenbaugh's, so strong that you could ace theBlucstone all over Ibc ground. If you cau't spare the time?which is all nonsense, for the same time will be required, do it when you will ?to sow more wheal than you need, bo sure to sow enough for your own use; you will know what you are eating. If you have not sowed red oats, do it now. They can be sown in tho cotton field in the same way, aAd no crop pays better. If you have not provided yourself with borley lots about the Stable do it at once?you cannot make a bettor iuvestuienl of your time. It will keep you out of the corn crib and save money. Keports from nil the cotton belt have been received, and it is pretty well settled what the yield will be. The market has opened low and dull. The necessities of the Planter have forced him to part with his crop, or part of it, at least, at very low figures. It is uow in the hauds of your good friends (?), tho ^Cotton Brokers and speculators, who have been sorrowing over the country, talking about hard times, the stringency of the money market, the big crop in the West, and the supply of India, Egypt, Brazil and all tho world. Simple minded people can't understand where all the money has so suddenly gone to. A few months ago the Banks and Bankers complained of a plethora of Giccubncks. Money could not be loaned out. Some of tho Batiks even reduced their capital. All this talk about the scarcity of money is a humbug. It is unfortunately in th* "km tiuemt iu Crop and make money out of it. The failures of the crop West or South will make very little difference to the average planter. He is under a lien, and his hauds tied hard and fast?he is obliged to sell. Even should he hold, storage, insurance, freight, stealage, patching and sumniftier will rntliit'M liiq nnitilH In mimw The Banks, by extcndiug or contracting their discounts, can make money plenty or soiree, nt pleasure. Speculators, brokers, capitalists and spinners, arc all in the same ring vs. the Planter. And with all that the Planter has the game in his own haud, if he will play it right. Keep out of debt, raise your own supplies, and you will soon have it iu your power to fix the price of your owu labor. (Jet rid of middle tneu, bankers, brokers, factors and speculators, and let the great principle of demand and supply settle the tpicstion. We have secured Home Rule once more and it will not be long before our Bench will be tilled with upright Judges, the jury boxes filled with intelligent Jurors, the Legislatures with honest patriotic citizens. Labor will become more reliable nud reuuinerutive, and honesty more a rule than exception. Under this regime we may hope for the farmer to get back to his old independent position and not hi afraid to moot his merchuut or Factor at Christmas. EXPERIENCE. Fort lie Tiniest. John Loland Kennedy. Not long ag i we read the announcement ol the death of litis distinguished Teacher. When such a man drops out of the circle which he lias tilled so long and so usefully to the rising generation, it is u serious loss to society?a loss very difficult to supply. Mr. Kennedy was an instructor facile princeps. The lessons we received from him in youth were indelibly stamped upon our mind. He was an admirable liinoplinar^afi?a brin believer in the virtue cf Solomon's rod?and when a boy crossed the threshold of his school room he was under a despotism which acknowledged no superior and brooked no outside interference. He was "master of the situation," and bis eagle eye was ns ijuick to olfer the reward of merit to the good boy as to inflict putiishtn ml upon the ttJe or vicious one. Mr. Kennedy was the son of the Rov. SSlni Kennedy. 1a Prcsbvleriun Minister of the bid type) of Lnurcns, nnd u branch of the Kennedy family of this County, of whom .Mr. Bkmjamin Kennedy, of Brown's Creek, Mr. Thouios Kennedy?who lived where the l'oor Mouse now stands?and Mrs. Ci.ow.nky, mother of the llou. Win. Konnedy Clowny, who represented this County in the Legislature and in Congress for many years, are honorable representatives. Mr. Kennedy graduated at Franklin Univor8 ty, Athens, Geo. ; but not satisfied with the curriculum, he ufterwurds entered the South Caroliua College, and graduated in 1825. lie began his career 11s an instructor of youth in the Irish settlement of this County, In one Of those conventional log sclioylhousaa 'with g puncheon chiinuey almost as wide us tne end ol the house; a log cut out of the other end, foi a window, - a puncheon writing desk below it. and under that a rude shelf for foolscap, ink bottles, cak balls and other contraband articles, with last, not least, that Slave of my thoughts, obedient to iny will, Nature's noblest gift, my gray goose quill.

For Oio Time*. SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, &C., IN UNION. Will you permit a Spartanburg man to soy a few words to your readers, provided lie liaa uotliiug to say about Hail roads and railroad speeches ? la riding thiougb Draytouvillo township a few days ago, it gave me pleasure to observe that one of the poorest sections of your Couuty bad built a tirst rate Church. 1 doubt whether there be a couutry Church iu the couuty superior to it. 1 allude to Corinth, situated near the old uiusler ground at Allen's. The congregations deserves much credit for the house erected. In Uoudcysville Township it was my privilege to attend the Exhibition of Mr. Flemuiiiig ltrown's School, held at Elbethel Church. In declamation and recitations his pupils acquitted themselves with much credit. The patrons of . the school report that his everyday work is fully equal to what they might expect from an ^truest, active young man. The people of that neighborhood are able to keep up a good school. It is their pluin duty to do it. If they can secure the services of such men ns Mr. lirowu for v the next ten years, they will have no cause to be ashamed of the mental attainments of their children. Hood Country Academies, uuitcd with a liberal system of free schools, will prove a saving element in the history of our country. About three hundred people attended this exhibition, showing the interest they felt la schools. Such meetings do good. They excite tho | cople to thought und action. Let every school in Union imitate tho example of Mr. Brown, and get the patrons and pupils together and have a good time.
