The committee congratulate the Order on the ;rfcl benefit resulting from the establishment if tlio State board of Agriculture ami urge the uiportauce of placing a deputy in the field to melting the principles of the Order. The committee also urge the continuance and xtension of the Si tc board of ngriculture of ital importance to the agricultural interests of lie State. They also recommend that tlio executive comlittce in connection with the Stato agent be istructed to ascertain and report as soon as racticablc the best possible terms of obtaining applies, or money for the purchase of supplies, jr the use of Patrons for the year 1881. The committee ou finance made a favorable sport on t e annual reports of the seeietury ml treasurer, which was adapted. Mr. Quirk o lie red tho following resolution, hicit was adopted : llexolved, That the State Orange of South Carina, through its W. M., do hereby lucmoriatc the National Grange to so change Article VI ' the Constitution as to allow an application liich has been rejected in a subordinate Qraniro bo renewed at the option of the applicint. Mr. Parrott. from the committee to whom that irt of the Worthy Master's address relating to ic establishment and support of a first-class jrlcultural paper had been referred, submitted report recomniettding that the Master nnd icretary of the State Grnngo be authorized to i-opiratc with the State Agricural Society and c Agricultural llurcau iu such a manner as ey may deem best. The report was adopted. Mr. Parrott submitted the report of the continue ou fertilizers proposing a plan for the trchasc of fertilizers which provides that tlio bordinatc Granges report to tho financial ;cut through their secretaries, or through tho crclaries of the Pomona Granges, ou or before e summer meeting of the Grange, tho kind, inlity nnd quautity of fertilizers which they sh to purchase for cash for their use during e year next succeeding ; that the said reports ving been received and consolidated, the inncial agent enter into negotiations for the irehnse of fertilizers. Tito oommittoe submit a formula for tho mnnncturo of fertilizers. The proposition of C. Morgan M inroc to fursh a formula for making a fertilizer was reeled by the committee, whose report was opted. Mr. A. S. Folder, the commercial agent of the ange, made his report. During the past year handled nearly 2,f>00 bales of cotton for the mibers of the Order, nod furnished a large iautity of supplies. His roport was referred the committee on the Good of the Order. The Grange then took a recess until half-past ?' clock. Aitkunoon Skssion. At the afternoon session Mr. II.

Tlic Slate Grange met at 10 o'clock yesterday, timing. Mr. Sojourner for the committee on the good the Order, reported that many, if not all, the difficulties which embarrass the orgnnition arise from not having given sufficient ntiition to the subject of education, temperance id economy. The subject of education has ien too long ignored by the Grange, and if not operly considered and acted upon, the chances e that the members of this Order will continue be hewers of wood nnd drawers of water for ic rest of mankind. The committee also Hay that "Intemperance the crying evil of the times, filling, as it docs, ir prisons, lunatic and orphan asylums, nccestoting enormous taxes for their support, and indering once happy homes desolate and drapg the land in mourning, and filling tho air ith the curses of the inebriate, tho waitings of idows and orphans ; and when we reflect that ost of this trouble is caused by the use of nr* unt spirits, we fell that there is no more impor>nt lesson that our organization can inculcate ion that of intemperanoo." In tho practice of true ecor^my iW tho so?ct of success, antVil is fliereTofc one of the lost important l^sons to be taught by tho range. ' f kThc report, etjlie committee was adopted as hole. Mr. Lovo offered tho following resolution, ihich was ndorded 1 / r~ ^bat hereafter tbo summer meeting of this Gauge shall attend to any business that may come Inrfore it, iurl that it shall be legal, provided that there is a quorum present, anil that t/ie executive committee he charged to uiaku tho leccssary arraugcmoots for said meeting.

Givk tta tub Stock Law.?No plainer evidence could bo afforded that the farmers mrouglioul the State generally arc thoroughly waking up to the situation than the tact that prejudice against the law to ft nee in the stock is rapidly dying out. Saluda Township has sent to the Legislature a petition with 18-3signatures for the extension of the stock law to the North Carolina Hue, and Highland Township follows suit in a numerously signed petition to the same eircct. The house of refuge on the top of Mount St. Gothard, founded in the fourteenth century, will hp pormnnotitly closed two years hence. T ie opening of the tunnei will render it useless, ns not oven beggars will then cross the mountain on foot.

A small negro boy, who was with them, says ho was awakened by a noise, and saw a negro man run away, and heard others talking, but was afraid to give an alarm. IIiuii-Pricf.1) Advertising.?It is sometimes questioned by merchants whether advertising pays. The question will hardly bear discussion in Ihc light of the following facts, rates for transient advertisements being figured : The Chicago Tribune, it i< said, for a column | u jv?i icwKco ^tu,uw;; mo new iorK Herald receives for its lowest prieod column $39,723, and for the highest $348,000; Ihe New York Tribune for lis lowest $29,704, for its highest $85,048; and these papers are never at a loss for advertisements to fill their columns. Their patronage comes not from any desire to assist the respective papers, but from business men who find ii profitable to advertise.?Exchange. . . Till? Troubikin Store.?Though no notices of contests have as yet been filed by Republican candidates for Congress, from Southern States during the last campaign, it is understood that within the time specified by law notice of contest will be tiled by the Republican candidate in Delaware, on the ground of illegal election laws. In West Virginia the seat of Mr. Wilson will be contested by the Republican candidate in Ihe First District. Mr. Wilson's majority as claimed was about 120. In Virginia a readjustee enndidato talks of contesting Cabell's Fifth District. In North Carolina's First District, Grondy, Republican, will contests Lnihnm's seal, in South Carolina, under instructions, it is understood, from the Naliinal Republican Committee, tbo five Democratic Representatives will have contests. In Georgia's First District, Collins, Republican, will contest lMack's scat. In Florida Bist-ce will again bo a contestant for the seat fiom the Second District. In Alabama Lowe, Qreeuback Democrat, and member of present Congress, will contest the sent given to his Democratic opponent, in the Mightli District, and in tho Fourth the Republican will contest Shelley's seat. In Mississippi, Chalmers, representing the Sixth or Shoe String District, will have his right to the certificate contested by Lynch, colored. In Louisiana the contest will be for the seats of Messrs.

Editor : Now that the general elections are over, and the verdict of the oatiou has been rendered through the bal lot box, the public mind, especially ill the South, uiay calmly take hold of material interests, and thus seek to wrest from pol itical defeat gcuorai prosperity, in a material point ef view. Wo will remark, howov or, that we have no sympathy whatever with the advice of some Southern newspapers in a spirit of gloomy despair, that all is lost, and we of the South have nothing that we can do. politically, but to offer ourselves to the highest bidder, witiiout rcgird to principles. The principles which have over distinguished the two great political parties ut the country since the formation of the iTawiiiiinuil?<ru itill ? ? when the passions engendered by tho war have subsided, the American people, true to the memory of a noble ancestry, will, us the ncedlo to the pole, gravitate to the great constitutional landmarks of n national government, confined strictly within const it u ttonal limits, supreme in its orbit, and perfectly harmonious and consistent with the sovereignty of the State government in | all local h(fairs, and a complete subordination of the military to tho civil power of the government. There is too much good sense among the American people ever t* allow any third teruier to scat himself in the Presidential ehuir at Wnshingtou. On this point tho Wcstorc Republicans aro as conservative as tho Deaiociuts. Hence, we should not despair, but calmly and resolutely bide our time, when tho. time-honored principles of tho National Democratic parly, though it may be under a different party name, will pervade and control all tho departments of the government. in mo meantime let us exert ourselves, especially in the South, to develop and improve the couutry iu all her uatioual interests. As agriculture is the basis of all uatioual prosperity, in ouy couutry, we should cudcavor to iuslill into all cluscs of our community a profound respect aud interest in the great business of agriculture.? Hence, the last Anderson Agriultural Fair, in souio respects, developed an interest in this matter never before sarpassed, if, indeed, ever equalled. NVhilo there was a falling off in the exhibits in some departments, yet tho spirit manifested by the people geucrally was highly commendable.? The newly elected Prcsidout, Mr. Provost, set out with the deteruiiuutioii to popularize the Fair Association, and one of the first steps was to reduce the admission fee to twenty five cents. The attendance on the lust day of the Fair showed a due appreciation ou tho part of the public.? There was, uo horse-rucim/. jm uranililiiui and toe whole management and all the exhibits showed that it was intended be in faet wh it it purported to be?an association of farmers and mechanics, for the mutual benefit of all tho iudustriu! interests of our County. Tho merchants took special interest in the Fair?some by offering speoial premiums, and all by making the last day of the Fair a gcueral holiday for Bociul recreation and enjoyment. Tho ladies were there in great numbers to cheer aud encourage in the good work, and tocontribute their mite to make tho Fair a complete sueill it 1 " " ccoo. n.u me proiessicns, especially the legal and uiedical, wcro represented in this gathering of the sous and daughters of Anderson. The social features of these annual fairs aro not the least rccouunenda tions to general patronage. Old citizens, and youngor too, separated almost <mtiroly for the balance of the year, except as business may bring them in passing contact on salesdays and court weeks, may, at least on these festivo occasions, enjoy a pleasant reunion, which is of incalculable vnluo to us all. The old aud popular President, Mr. Crayton, was present, and scented to be in one of his happiest moods, opening his heart and house to the reception of friends, and ready to cucourago nil in the great work of recuperation, now the one groat duty of the hour. Put what has all this to do with the unique heading of this article '( Much every way, as you will presently sec. Ouo of our old friouds, a citizen of the town of Audorson, and largely engaged in farming, at least since the war, said to me, that thirty acres was enough for one man to cultivate, aud, as evidence, cited an instance coming directly under his own knowledge. A poor but industrious man desired to purchase a home, aud found ono of thirty three acres, which ho thought he could buy for thrco hundred dollars, but did not have the money, and sought aid from this public spirited man. lie said, "yes, go aud buy your home, and I will let you have the money to pay for it." The crop cn that small tract of land this year will be about eight bales of cotton and one hundrnrl nml filVv bushels of corn, besides small grain. The injunction which this liberal minded man lays I upon all his tenants is, fertilize well and work well. The first step to bo taken to ausuro the permanent prosperity of tbo country is, divide up tbo farms into small tracts and sell to good citizens. Tbo greater tho diffusion of tho real estate of any country, the greater tho assuranco of tbo perpetuity of its institutions. Another gentleman, an excellent practical farmer, living on Hencoop, below Anderson, said to mo that he derived greater benefit, in his profession as a farmer, from these annual fairs than he could in any other way for tho same money. So it goes. Keep up tho interest in your annual fairs, stir up the granges, organize your Anderson County farmers' altianco, and thus in many ways help on the good cause.?T. II.

A New York Sensation.?Among | the arrivals at Now York Saturday, on tho steamer City of Brussels, from Liverpool was Ksoofally Uiptula, a Bombay mcrchanf prince of iuiuieuso wealth, who brings witlv hiui his four native wives. Those laltcf arc in charge of another wotnanjiyl' ^ - number of otbor male servants. All the attendants wore either n turban or rod fetf, and were dressed iu half European costume; but their master was attired, with the exception of his nether garuicuts, in true Oriental stylo of splendor. Under a looso I ov rcont, which was carelessly thrown open,could be seen a long garment of pnlo silk descending to tho kuocs, on which was worked a muss of gold cuibroidory in a bewilderment of fantastic shapes. Tho names of the four wives areVagcorbui, Allah Bundi, Thahajan and Omdabai. Their apartments in the vessel hud been spociully and luxuriously fitted up. Their door wmr guarded by tho eunuch. Their faces sm round and swarthy, with features well marked. Ouidabai, the prettiest, is only twelve years of ago They aro thinly clad, and had an abundance of jewelry. Through their noses aro pierced holos, from which hang rings of diamonds, pearls and other' precious stones to fur below tho mouth swinging to and fro. Their cars are alsor almost hidden by hugo orunuicuts, and alV of them wear around their shoeless feet one' or two bands of silver and gold inlaid with1 rare stones. All aro small in stature.?

And yet theso very >5 sanio men whenever their interests arc V threatened or attacked by injurious IcgisltMpSv^ ; > lion, arc foremost in soliciting tho aid ot tho press, and imploring its influence in do* % fcating the obnoxious measures.
