Commencing on TueJ?ay the 24th ultimo, and ending on the follow log Thursday, it was one un tiring.round of enjoyment throughout. Mauy ; prophecies and predictions had gone out in relation to this, the First Annual Fair of Orangoburg County. A enia^l minority of our eltiaena, in their unenvlablo skepticism aud tad want of gate. I / rjfl ? energy,.,Iojg ago laid that we were too poor-. to support successfully any aueh J w undertak ing. The results of the enter pri?o stand but in eloquent array to pre claAh Uli such croakers as these we kave mentioned as false witnesses against cota 'fciii. vu i'1* meudablc and praiseworthy motives. Tho Fair is over, and it was a com pleto success. On : Tuesday morning the elouds as sumed- a gloomy aspeet, and many, who were* warmly sanguine of the aueeess of thegFair hitherto, for the first time wore an expression of countenance that boded doubts on their part. But soon the rapid and successive sounds of vehicles put to flight all such misgivings, and henceforward, despite the gloomy wenth -or, it was universally believed that the -occasion would be crowned with abun dant success. / Ths building used wae Whittemore's \ Soap Factory, which, uuder the maoage mept of the Committee, had been swept out and and improved to such an extent, as to present quite a comely interior. It is large and commodious, and afforded abundant opportunity to exhibitors to havo, whatever they had for exhibition, displayed to advantage. ^Underneath thor building a number of large and I "wcH-appointcd stalls were arranged, \ where horses, mules, &c., were kept.

Editor Oranyelmrj News : I have bceu prcssiugly iuv itcd to give an account of the "Rise aud progress," and "decline and fall," of THK F'lR?T Annual Agricultural Fair i.i Or ANtSEBUito. Hut it is not in my line. That the Fair is ended, I presume will be stated several limes in your edstori.il of to morrow, and in lour dozen other places in your paper. So it is unneces sary to mention th>it fact her?. You will | furthermore no doubt, dilate much on all that was exhibited at the Fair?aud dilute the relative merit* of every thing aud of everybody. And you will tell us who got premiums and who did not? who received medal*, who pocketed only "'highly commendable,'* and ''hon orable m^ution," (which, I take, it means "try it over old tellow, see if you can't do better unit timn".) :??"t ???'"? i lot us know whit "the distinguished fellow citizen" ?ail in his address This is in your line, and I have no doubt you will do it well. And you being editor and reporter combined, havo the bci>t apportuuity of enlightening the public. Serve out tho customary gruel which every body expects, and which has been served out since the days when Adam and Eve planted potatoes, and fruit, mid made an awful fuss about it in their little tri weekly, devoted to do mestic economy and dried apples. 1 have no words to say beyond this. 1 liked the Fair, it was a right fair Pair, and may b< fearlessly pronounced a suc cessful affair throughout. You go on for details?go on uud use up your paper. I haven't strength. 1 saw on exhibition, good apples, geod Ayrcshiro Hull, good antics, good bread, buiscuits, and butter (lookod good), baby clothing, bees, baskets, good corn, cake, ijookod so), coverings for single lolks of cold nights, good ploughs, gins, wines, (i heard about the wines), good teeth, and good other tilings, (can't go into details) ? -and a very intelligent jackass, &c, A.c. Rut the articles I noticed most worihy of premiums, were tho pretty woiuju. I may say ns to that "there was a perfect freshet of loveliness"? put tliut dowu as a quotation*. I think however the Managers and Committee men of the Fair committed a gravo error which will be appareut to all, as I go on to say what I huvo to tell you. Something near a week before the Fair opeued, a Pilgrim aud a stranger came prospecting around the 'Burgh., Pros pected to the Committee Fair. Said he was a Pilgrim and a stranger, with thirty six horses to euter for exhibition. Would they givo h;m a small bit of ihe Fair Crouud ou which to ride his hor ses 7 Committee were afraid his blood stock wouid take aji the prises. And there were act prises enough for those ia the County. So committee said no! You eau't bars this ground. Then the Pilgrim aod ?tratiger prospeeted across the street, sad he met a man who ap preciated blood stuck, and sympa thised with pilgrims aud strangers. Aud.he *'id ge awd lake my grouud aad ou it build up your ? itberuucle, aud your teuts, and your stables, aud any thiug ehe (an loeg as you dou't build * soap factory) aud there ride your.koreo* ui.ul their tails drop off. So the i'ii gri*u and stranger smiled uuto kiutaclf, und Mid unto himself: Truly am 1 lha?ikfnl to this umhi for thw thing which Ii? hu? doue. Aud I will buihi cp Miy Taberuacle, aud pitch my tent, aud build my wublc*. Aud 1 will build uu .-o..p factory either. * Aud they who oo?ue into my leut shall tee uo ?:?up? sud ll.ey invt'f did use ?>up. Aud thvj want nothing to do with snap fac tories. Then the pilgrim ai?d stranger erected a pole, aud over this pole he spread a broad doth?and this was his Tueeroacle. Aud within this i'aberua eic he h.*rr*ess<*d his six and thirty hor cce?wild they were ?leek. And hi* chariots were numerous ued gaudy. And hi* hems were fat aud blooodod, and were tvot by any meine of the old crow bait kind. Neither limped they any?nor hud they sore backs?not one. And th?a the Pilgiim took into his Ctittueils a mighty Captain who is minted Jam** K io,l all, (wht hi his intimate friend* call "Jim" for short), ami anoth er curiotts. worker ih Wood whom his frie?ii4e calls Bea,(also for .?h?rt he hav ing more biiik.-). Then the might) Ca| tain spake oat in a baud mice, and wanted ail who would, to eon.e in and rift* tee ?leek, and hat, and blooded hor.?t??and lo sit and ride within the gundy chariots?mid this h* did many lime*. And while the mighty Captain said this, he the euriows worker ia wo<id ?who is ceiled B\w fnr .-aWf. (hawing yet more name), )i;ttd up n i?rge ?e.-*ei ot tin, and from this vei?r?rl he poured certain h::e ?>i 1 (and two gallons w.i* the ijniotirr pnhrtd) into a l?r^c rhe.tt bound round with brawn ban-Is ar.d studded with brasen stnds. And when the fine oil was all poured ont into th<? chest, the curious worker in woi.<\. seixed with both his hands a handle or mnk which belonged to the chart, and h? turned the same with much rapidity. Arid behold ont of the chest there ramr forth the ?wertest of anisic. And the curious worker in wood continued to grind upon (ho crank or handle, ami us he ground the same sweet music came forth. And the crowd gathered together, while the mighty Captain spake. And the music was ground out, an 1 they gathered more und more uutil they numbered tens of thousands. And they were in much ecstaoy while thoy listened to the voice of the mighty Captain and the sweet niu-oc. And none?no not one of that crowd, ever used soap, uor patronised they any soap factory. Aud thereupon the crowd went into the Tabernacle of the Pilgrim and stran ger?oud he keeping the gates of the Taberuacle, received from eich one a small coin, or a bit of piper u ill ? 1 frac tional currency wherewith the Filgri m and stranger purchased provisions for his six and thirty horses, and also oil for his chest. k ...i . ? ? -. iv..;-! each one as he came in mounted upon ono of the six and thirty horses, until each horse bad its rider. Aud in each chariot were soatod the women and the children. And the riders (each wishing to show his skill) were reckless and dar ing. They knew uot the spirit of the steeds, nor whether the steeds were bro ken and gentle nnd familiar with the voice of the Pilgrim. And then when each horse had it* rider, and every cha riot filled with the women and children, the mighty Captain ceased speaking, and with both bauds soizod a crank which ho turned with much strength and violently. Aud then the sleek and fat horses and blooded in <ved around. And lo ! there gait was marvolous: yet their gait was uot repleto with variety. Aud the steeds with tho .riders thero of went around stalking serenely, and broke not the track once?nor changed they their gait, (which is in >ro than can bo said of the steeds at tho So ip Factory). Neither Were they frightened at any ' thing whatever, not even a bundle of fodder, (and this is also more than can be said of sonic of tho steeds at tho Soap Factory which sturtod at tho artielo of fodder as n curiosity, fur fetchod and unaccustomed to. - '.?.-j_ Aud the riders ceased their fears. And tho eploudidly mounted uiassos moved around?for the horses kuow the voice of tho Pilgrim and at ranger, and were brokon well and gen tin? aud while they rode and rejoiced, tho music came forth from the ehest in oue siaglc strain, and it varied not from that oce strain at any time, auy more than tho six and thirty horses broke from tho traox. Aud this cannot bo said of tho music at the Fair, which waa held at the Soap Factory ?which music kept not to one tune entirely; but continued to vary and change its tunes, and iew from one tune to another as tho horses on the track varied their gait thorefrotn. And behold at the voice of the Pilgrim, the horses stopped their mad career, and the riders dismouutod, aud the ekarioU were all. stopped. And thoso within left the chariots. Aud then others tuouuted the horses and rode gallantly. And others sat iu the chariots. Aud there were many thousands who rodo thus; but they used no soap aud laughed at the Soap Faotory. Aud many thousands bad ridden, then the pilgrim aud stranger counted out earefully all articles of a portable kind, and they wer? all right. And ibeu he e .noted out his small eoiiHi aud bits of paper eafled fractional currency?and these wore many. And then he dismissed the people from the l'aberiincle. And he emptied the oil froMi the chest?aud ouhurue.sH.'d the hor ses, mx and thirty i t number. And then the Pilgrim called around him those who had bee'i gallant and daring riders aud who had mastered the sleek and blooded steeds. Aud to each oue he give a premium, or made ''honoruble mention" of him, or aaid hit riding was "highly commendable." And to a gal lant and bold rider whom men call 'Greek,' he awarded the first and high est prom i urn Aud to others, whose names are not mentionud because of their own modesty nud desire to trust ''to virtue ns its own reward," and wlto wore beavers for helmets on their heads, he gave many premiums Aud to the chief musician who was called Hen, and worked in wood curiously, he was lavish with premiums. And to the mighty Captain he gave with a freo hand. Then the mighty Captain who is culled Jim by his friends, (having yet more name), arose and spoke thus to the peo ple <>tid an id "We are thank I nl to you lor heipirt'4 us to food for imr horses and lie for the chiat. Your rtdi>.g is good?in fact wonderful. We didn'r think there wrre so many pood rider.* lihi 'it. If wu hid known th<rra were many good riders about, more premiums Would have been provided. 'D\r. ahme m endedi Your* truly, J AM ?3 KIM HALL, Commonly called by his friends "Jim," tor short. Th.it ended the whole affair. And now Mr. Kditor, you ran appre ciate tho mistake the Committee of the Fair made. First. They should have given the PilgT m a showing oat the grounds, because he had berter and easier going horses than th^^ shown at the Fair. Second, lie had tfettdier music, and he took in n crowd which wottld have been desirable about any Soap Foctory. Then hero is what the Fair 'lpst.' These horses of the Pilgrim Iihv? i'.lmcst been taken way from hi in by the Ku Klux Klan, being the very .-tyle of horse* th? K. Ks ride at night. And he the Pilgrim has had many an offer of] gre.it price for thc3J hirsss wherein the K. Ks Khali ride nightly. And the price offered by tho K. Ks, was something like i'J.ODO a horse; but the Pilgrim greatly tVtared one Grunt, and said. ??! oanu it give you thess blooded animals at auy price to ride at night, becat se they may ritu uwnj with you and 1 not being there to conttol them, may hurt somebody. And I, eren I, will be put up iu soino storo building for h I ping the K. Ks, and verilr if Grant Knows that the K Ks have these blooded steeds, ho wdl dnclaro Martial Law iu Oraugcburg. And because the p.?? pie have b'-en good ridern, I like not ih it." So, I will uot soil my horses to any K. K Ks". The Committee of the Fair could have bought tho.-o horses for less aud 'eared uot. - Sco again. 'Iho renn Council thiuk of running street cats, and they made their offer, of purchase, and it is like ly tho Pilgrim will take up tho offer. And the offer is liberal. And tho prop osition of the Council is to straighten out the tr.tok of the Pilgrim, uud run the horses in street cars up und dawn the .Main slrejt and not in ? circle any more?and this the "Fair" could have bougnt up nnd made money out of? for there is money iu it without doubt. Hut the Committco economized too much. And that's all I kuow about "tho Fair/' Manupaotcrino Fnteiu'iusr in CHARLESTON;?CharlesUU 'a last bo coming a manufacturing ns well as a e.i,tiiiierei.il city.
