An Address from Col. Taylor, Presi? dent of the Slate Agricultural So? ciety. To the People of South Carolina: As President of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, the undersigned makes an appeal to his fellow-citizens in behalf of the approaching State Fair, which can be made a brilliant success by the co-operative efforts of the farmer?, mechanics and manufacturers who are interested in developing the material in? terests of the State. The occasion is op? portune for a grand rally in support of a Society whose work in promoting the ob? jects of practical agriculture, horticulture, fruit growing, stock breeding, the me? chanical and manufacturing employ? ments, domestic, economy, g&s.-,>deserves the recognition and active ""co-operation of "every "friend to civrtizatiew"Miid~-tbe~| welfare of the State. Amid the evils be? getting the advancement of all these in? dustrial interests, wbile^'the incubus of a hostile government was upon our people, the Society has steadily pursued its noble purposes, and sought to instill hope and rourage?Tnfo^.tM brjfe^ts of the desponds ing by annually presenting an exhibit of the resource?,which taugbtjlhe lesson of I c ur true greatness wlienrelieved from the. grinding oppressions of an alien horde. Now, that the achievement and restora? tion of good gorefnment has mftigafed our condition in this respect, the werVoT the Society must be directed with re? doubled energy to the prime objects of ito existence; and with unabated confidence in the destiny of South Carolina as one of the most prosperous and desirable common wealths in the American Union, i his appeal is made to the men and wo? men who constitute its basis of future greatness for the energetic devotion to the unselfish purposes of the Society. With a single exception there are -salaried officer>v-wd-~all.fJw int the Society is devoted to the advance? ment c^Ygricultttrmndrkhidred indo*^ | ^?eSt" rtlFfcWT'ltii of fttip -community lajfjif jgjp cjB||i^Bb&js^i confidence and support, and none should neglect to contribute theinmite to its ad? vancement in the future. The strength of the organization is embodied in the life and annual membership, which ought to include men and women from every county in the State. A small number of j persons have constituted this member-. *hip in the past, and Uit^mie5 irf propi? tious to increase the force which will direct its affairs hereafter. We need to be brought together for a brief recreation from the labors of a year, where the op? portunity is given to gain, information and renew acquaintance with each other ?where the products of tire farm, girder and household, the cunning skill of the artisan, and trie improved breeds of ani? mals are exhibited for the inspection and study of all who are intent upon profiting by the good examples of their neighbors. Such an exposition ja?, is. worthy of,the State cannot fail to give pleasure and' satisfaction to every one who feels a just pride in the material advancement of the j country. Life membership can be made to sus? tain and permanently establish this So? ciety. The people in every county sbonld organize a club of life members, and thus bring to bear an jnfiuence which will be felt and diffused, throughout the State. From one to two hundred mem? bers in every county would- furnish an adequate endowment to place the Society upon an enduring basis, which- would | afford, an income sufficient to double the annual premium list and largely increase the means for promotion of the general good. Such"?:concer}t^tiotf^ffort^aTid. interest would be the most practical1 method for the assured permanency of the organization, and would prove" alike beugfichri' to tbe-pubfic auiipamifc " Jftld gjxe^a voi?f-??i ' mnagement ofJraBgaf$ii? ai?%$34(??;y| and ^ftpbver^jrfc&rj^on ductive to the general welfare would find expression, supplemented by a power to control and direct the operations of the would be perfected which is necessary to stimulate and advance theobj<jcteinrvteV, for the elevation of agriculture"ami 'the mechanic arts?the chief occupations of our people.

A cordial wel sion. Petrified ^r^itr California. The site of the petrified forest is about one thousand feet above sea level, and.I lies in the same trend with the-geysers.' Mount St Helena and the thermal springs of Calistoga. Geologically, it is one vast tufa bed, in which the trees I lie' as'toey" were thrown, probably thou? sands of years ago, by some vast convul? sion of nature. This tufa, I will say, for the benefit of the unitiated in scientific lore, is a volcanic ash pr cinder; it is a lava thrown upwaid iff a fiery: mass: ana descending with rain. It is gray in color and granular in structure. Sometimes it 13 fOffttd^imbedded' in the " form of little globes or bombs.

Tbfcy are in fragments, many of which have been converted into] charcoal, .others; into lignite, mode others. into beautiful specimens of jet Where the heart of the tree had decayed, the cavity is filled with opal, a form of lus? trous, uncrystalized silica, containing: water.

One of the first named is eleven feet in diameter, and the part of the trunk still preserved is sixty-eight feet in length. Another shows marks of having been hacked with an ax, probably made of obsidian, as ail the pre-bistoric implements from this locality were .made of this same sub? stance, a volcanic rock, which appears in abundance all about There is no mis? taking the fact that the cutting; was done before petrifaction began, all the cuts occur at different angles to the.grain.of j the wood. The deduction is inevitable that man was in California before .the birth of Mount St; Helena, even, and also J that he was of a type superior, to-the peo? ple who inhabited it at the adientof' the European, for he knew how to fashion cutting tools.?Cbrrespondeiice iSan Fran cisco Post.

The following detailed account of the surrender, of Chief Joseph was received in this city to-day: Fort Benton, M. T., October 6, via Helena, October 7.?A courier frbm General Miles' battlefield arrived one hour ago, bringing intelligence that Chief Joseph with Iiis entire band had surren? dered. The*capitulation took place at 2 p. m. on the 5th instant. The savage* gave up their guns and ammunition, passing in solemn review before Genend Miles, and yielding an unconditional surrender. The troops at once took possession of the Indian entrenchments, and the first vic? tory over the red skins during the past two years was signalized. In the charge -on the Indian-camp on-the-last day of the fight sixty-four officers and men were killed and.iWopnjded. ,j j .- i After the camp had been surrounded and the soldiers had secured defensive positions only four casualties occurred. The soldiers closed in upon the savages slowly but surely".; Itivasihe purpose of ^n.'MileV toMose no more'men in the attack. On the,last day of the fight the Jtfcoops Sncceeded in securing a position which commanded the stream that flowed, in front of the rifle pits occupied by the >n?niy, gtyd hijfl the battle laaje&iinother ? ^aylne^r^Sflliply oPwaler w'ould have been exhausted, and a surrender would bare become imperative. On *!m? fohrth day of the fight; tfbseph raised the white flag for the third ^tiine, and through an interpreter ?who ad? vanced towards his camp, he offered to surrender provided,; his band were al lowed to keep their guns. General Miles sent word that they niu?t surrender with? out any reserve; and the battle was taken up again. The white flag was Joseph appeared in front of his line and advanced meet General? Mile**.to wh?lh ,'he lenT^un li^guX She" ffJ? fol? lowed-by sixty-warriors, who also turned over their guns, and" shook nands with General Miles as they passed. When the troops entered the rifle pits forty warriors disabled by wounds were discovered. These were removed to/the camp hospital, and received all the atten? tion that was given to the wounded troops. The number of Indians killed is snWri^ as they had already buried their dead. It is supposed they lost an equal number with the troops. General Miles left yesterday for Tongue River, taking his dead and wounded and the surrendered band. General Sturgis did not arrive in time to take part in the light, t>pA-the- glory of the magnificent attack.arid result belongs to Gen. Miles. General Howard, with an escort of seventeen men, arrived on the morning of the surrender. He made no attempt to assume command; he had left his small force of infantry at Missouri river, and, with^this small escort of cavalry, proceeded to tbe scene of battle; the en? trenchments occupied by the Indians were admirably constructed, for, defence. They occupied in all over 1,600 rifle pits, which communicated with-each other so that assistance could be rendered if nec? essary. The squaws fought by the side of the - warriors, and took cafe of the wounded and buried the dead. When the history of the unparalleled march of the Nez Pecces is written, they will be credited with wonderful valor and gr^eat^humanity. Their defence could* not; oe excelled by any body of men. Of their generosity,, the wounded soldiers lying under their entrenchments live to bear testimony. They took away, the guns and ammunition from the disa? bled troops bat did not molest them. -an"Soits orParjfgraphB. ? } H^eady otte-?lahm^q^plefdted ^s^irvaibD^i fnjhg Jt^^lvCl6 ?

July 5,1877 51_ 6m A'yer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. A dressing which is at once agree-, able, health}-, and effectual for preserv? ing the hair. iFadedcrgfay \Iuxir is soon restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re? store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decaj'ed.'; But suck as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the . hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. "Its occasional use will prevent, the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub? stances which make some prepara? tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can onjy benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir? able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white' cam? bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.
