I We cnll attention to the advertisement of Mr. f Klford, who offers for sale sonic valuable lots in ^ the growing town of Spartanburg.

The Northern ElectionsFront the partial returns received up to tl?e i time of going to press, we find that all the ! Northern Slatesin which elections wcrcheld went 1 ^ Republican last Tuesday, llohinson, the Dent- j ocrntic candidate for Governor of New York, was 1 ^ defeated hy Kelly, the Tammany candidate, who j divided the Democratic vole and allowed Cornell, ' Republican, to tun in. Good t>ye Tilden ? good bye Tammany?good l?yc Kelly. Tammany has beat Tilden, and Kelly has killed Tantmany. The Election. j v Tuesday was the quietest election day we ever ; heard of. IVc saw one man drunk, and he paid i for the whiskey lie swallowed. It was only go- . ing through the form of an election, and didn't ( have a bit of fun in it. W ith only one otlicc to j 0 be filled and only one candidate in (lie field, of .. course "the election passed ofT quietly." We | j, have not received the official return of the voles 1 ; cast, but there is no doubt that Maj. I!. II.

I.anford is now in tho County can- ^ va siii}? for subscribers to a very henutifiil illus- ^ trated History of the United Stale, also one of the ,v handsomest editions of the Bible we have ever seen. p It is not usual for us to recommend our cit"- } rens to suhscribe for such works, particularly ^ when presented l?y men of whom we knew noth- j (l ing ; but in this case it is different. Mr. I.nn- ' 0, ford is known to us as a citizen of Spartanburg | o( and a puro gentleman, and the books he offeis are ! je gotton up in the very haii'lsoinest style of print ing and bound in the most substatial manner. The ,| illustrations are also of (ho finest engraving.? From a cursory examination we should say the History is very complete, from the arrival of the Mayflower to the close of our late "liftla nn- d< pleasantness," and would be a valuable ncqni- j si eitlon to the library of every family. J tii 10 Late Fair. It wus grutifying to us to wittier a the disin" 1 rested liberality exhibited by a number of the ^ shorn and oxhil iters at our late County Fair, tic numbers upon the grounds were not as large , i at former Fairs, nor was tko exhibition, in t lose departments of the men's productions, as ' rge, but it was a very creditable exhibition, td#we are not ashamed of it. Those who par , oipated, as simple visitors or as exhibitors, t ere o? the right sort to form a nucleus around < Inch all the enterprising, liberal and progres- ' vc people of the County will bo bound to gath- ( * and make the Fairs hereafter decided sue | ^sses. The absentees were noted and the causes < " their absence commented on ntid universally renounced seltish and narrow minded. A , oup of fivo or six good, liberal minded Farm" 1 s present, united in the assertion made by one ' thorn, that "the grumblers and dissatisfied tuttlJ not break down the County Association id Fail*, just because they could not have i ling, a* they wanted and take premiums upon | . crything they exhibited. They forgot or ig- , orcd the object of the Association and looked ( 3 farther than the paltry premiums they did or id not rcc< ivc." Such men have not the general goad of the ounty at heart and, 110 doubt, chuckled over ic idea that if all men of their selfish notions ould stay away from the Fairs, as they did 1st week, they would break the County Associa011 up. Gentlemen, dou't Hatter yourselves till such tin exalted idea of the nutiiberof your dlowcrs; for they arc lew in Union County.-Slie great majority of our citizens are liberal, > liolc-soulcd and progressive people, and wii' ii no way unite with or countenance any perons so lost to County pride and the general ;ond of the County as to attempt to ruin u.i orutiizntiou established for the special benefit nil progressive spirit of every industry in the "ounty. That is the aim of the Society, and Is olliecrs have done their very best to make it iotli attractive and useful to all. If they have ailed in any way it is because tliey have not teen sustained as they deserved, and selfishness ,nd illiberality allowed to usurp the places of ulriotisin and magnanimity in the hearts of hose who ccubl and should extend to theui inntrial assistance. If the people in the country want to control lie Association?and wc wish they would?let hem come forward and take hold of it. They an control it if they will ; but they cannot if hey stand aloof from it and only grumble and ;rowl at imaginary evils in its management. . o ? BfHX.

Carson, who, under orders Yoiii Gen. Gilinorc, U. S. A., is preparing to nakc a survey of Hroad lliver, with a view to nuking it navigable for light draft steamboats. I bis is a work in which the people of this secion should feci a deep interest, and vvc ask hem to extend to .Mr. Carson that generous open landed hospitality to which lie as a gentleman ind the eroat work he is now cturuire I in is on. , led lo. lie is now seeking i iforinatiun 1 ion tlie agricultural, mineral and all oil.er resources ot" all this region of Country. We nust gite him all the information and assistance hat will aid and encourage him in making the Hva>.RYA> y y.V,r^rt V?te. i f t would give to the people of this section of rountry. It is safe to say that in freight alone t would save at least one cent a pound upon ivcry hale of cotton we raise, and on other ur* irticlcs in proportion. Mr. Carson is the grandson of the late J.

The fifth Fair of the Union Conny Agricultural and Mechanical Society, in spite f the many croaking predictions to (lie coutruy, exhibited a measure of success that must are been highly gratifying to the public spirited ndividnals to whom the County is indebted for his most enjoyable festival ; and this success .us all the inure gratifying from the fact that it .'as not owing in any degree to any adventitious id whatever.

Destructive Fire at GawTnky City.?We ^c: regret to hear that Oaffuey CitJ^SutTercd a heavy loss by fire last Sunday afternoon. The cotton burned was worth fully $12,09). There was no t insurance on it. We suppose the losers did not all hold receipts from the railroad, consequently it is a clear loss.
