Both steamers are of the same das? and from the same manu? facturers. The excitement was intense when the Atlan? ta moved up for the first trial, and, with a strong wind in ber lavar, threw two- hundred and se ven: y-eight feet and ten-tenths of an inch. Later %in the day the Palmetto j played, and; without the advantage of the I br?ete, made a distance of two hundred and \ stTxrny-ntnc feet, thereby winning the prise.

[FROM O?B OWN OOBBESP 'NDE.1T ] Ct>L?MBi\, May 8.-Tbe Agricultural Con? vention ii felt to have been i decided success to have done quite aa mach as it waa reasona? ble to expect of a body comprising so many, and in some instances, rival if not directly con? flicting, interests. Twenty-four counties were represented by delegates, and these represent? ed every branch of industry and every sec? tion of th a t tate. There were a hundred and fifty-two delegates present. A perusal of tho proceedings will show that the who e matter iaytt inceptive, and that all the results aro only to grow out of these beginnings. It is, however, saf ; to predict that the moat vitally important advantages will oome to South Car? olina, nit jough there lie ahead m my causes to interfere with these high bo, es. THE PA,T WEES. The jam and discomforts of overcrowd in cr made the greater portion cf the past week anything but delightful On Tuesday there was a larger crowd than - Colombia has known since the war, and on Wednesday the railroad men estimate that at least a thousaud more were added. The general estimate is that there were here Thursday three thousand vis? itors. The destitution of room that Columbia bas felt e\ er since Sherman's visit, was made utter by the demand for tbreo thousand addi? tional berths. The hotels all had crammed into them titty per cent, beyond their utmost capacity of comfort; and by day all through the city might be seen extemporizad picnics enfam tte, with rural abandon, upon the sward, under the trees, and everywhere. By night these same picnickers slept wherever fortune found lodgings for them, aud fortune' was kept busy try them. Private bouses were opened liberally, and, after many turnings and many questions, the great many were dormi toned somewhere. On Friday morning a deluge left, and on Saturday, the rest. IRE COUNT! ELECTIONS. rho "tnrormality" already related in TEX' MEWS, of trying to push through the elections of township officers on the 27th ult. without fair notice, was arrested in the Columbia Township. There are four townships in Btob land Coan ty, Columbia being Mo. 1. The trick o? posting obscure notices (only one in the oity, ind that torn down by au intentional accident immediately,) and one notice in the Phoenix on the morning of the election, has been exposed. The election was stopped by snob protest as the managers could u t withstand. In the three other townships, however, elections were bald; at least the official results aro publish? ed in Sunday morning's Pheonix. The not,ces seem to have been regular in the country townships; at least many of the parties elected are our beet ?tisane, and this indicates fair? ness in their selection. i The chairman of the Boara oTEicctora fur tatar t Columbia Township has thus far published nj ] explanation of the unseemly haste with wbioh , our citizens were about being hurried into au i Biection, the whites bavin* practically only a J few hours' notice, and the blacks regularly or- , nnized and instructed how to vote in their < inion leagues days before. The community 1 axpecte-and bas a right to expeot-some ex- \ plana lion from this officer. If the facts have noe been fairly stated, he owes it to him se. t to < state them fairly; aud ir they bave been fairly ' stated, be owes it to the community to explain ? his part in them, and thus como ou from among those union league negroes, provided ? he wants to come out from among them. LECTURES. While tout le monde was busy with railroads and agriculture and where to sleep, a select lew, numbering less than a hundred, were hearing the lectures of Colonel W. P. Starke, prementiened in my last. The lecturer made the m e take of leo turing too long at a session two hours and a half each night. The second evening was exceedingly interesting. The lecturer gave life-like sketches of present-day life in the Land of tbs Lotos and big tomb atones. His readings of Hieroglyphics ( r Holographies, rather) were intensely inter esfttagand suggestive. His accounts of Arab Ufa abd of tho Jerusalem of to-day were as spicy as a chapter of St Fureidi* or of Jan ored. His talk about the Plain of Troy, the Simoia, and tbt> Scamander, brushed the dust ot three thousand years from the magnificent dream of Homer. A Columbia audience bas rarely listened ts discourses of such vaned and caiious information. Then th? Spiritualists have had a represen? tative here all tue week, who gives lectures to email audiences from time to time-bas given 'two. I behove, the psst week. She cairns to be ot New Orleans, and ia the first regular clairvoyant medium that has ever exhibited in Columbia. Several have called upon Madame Stewart, of whom some report that they were solo, others say very little about it. Her suc? cess is very moderate. COBS ALS.

MANIFESTO OF THE SEIT MAYOR. The End of tho Contest-Condition of the City-Pamper Labor-t'ompaliory Kduoat lon-Programme of the Admin? istration. Tho following is thc address delivered yes? terday by ila vor Pillsbury o ooo the occasion of bra installation as Mayor of Charleston. We do cot propose to eater now into any long dis? cussion of the principles whioh Mayor Pill-bury lays down for his guidance and oars; bat it is somewhat singular that ia the first flush of sncoeBs he should take a gloomy view of the situation of the city. The aspect of affaira generally is not discourage nf,, although it may be made so. lr?de this year has been-botter tl an in any other year since the beginning of the war. Thors are hundreds of idlers in the city, it ii trae, bat t bis ie because they prefer to lire here in idleness to working in the country. No city, who to vor its giza, can undertake to support, every able-bodied wanderer who ohooses to squat within tho corporate limits, and the ?cheme of finding employment for every coloied mau who prefers Charleston to. the oorn-field, w ,uld, if carried ont, double the debt of the city, md make progress and im? provement impossible. Mayor Pillsbury ad mite that he is ignorant of the wanta and gene? ral condition of tho city, and when he under? stands better tho trae position of affairs he he will, perhaps, find good causo for chang? ing bis opinions in regard to those measures which he not assumes to be necessary. tienUemen of the Vounoil - We have con? vened under cucumstances somewhat peculiar. Our election took place nearly six months si i'co, yet events beyond our control have transpired to detain us from our seats till the present time. A resort to law, to the courts, to the Legislature, and tben back again to the coarte, bas st last placed us in the unenviable positions wbich we now assume. Wu boat reviewing the influences whioh tuve operated against os to debar us. ne can exult in toe con? sciousness that we are not here as usurpers. We entered the Municipal straggle presum? ing that all parties would consent to be gov? erned by the great democratic principle lying j at tbe foundation of every free government- j that the minority must defer to the majority, j luis principle bas been recognized at every t stage ot the tedious and annoying contest , tbrongn which we have been dragged. To have advanced a Bingle ateo without it would ( have boen revolution, and each a revolution as , could not have passed tnumpbantly through ? ali the VJr.ed searching or 'eats to which oar j case bas been subjected. We have, therefore, , been constituted the ofhci? board of this cit \ : . not only siter the usual manner of an oleo- ; taon, but also by the iudgmo-t of the . courts, both inferior and superior, and by the high sanction of the State Legisla ture. j Io the discharge of oar official duties, wo , shall doubtless encounter difficulties, which, j to some, might appear almost insormouuta- ( ble; and yet, if we move ot urageously onward. ? sacredly observing the oath wo' nave tauen, acting wi i bout ie*r, favor or discrimination, thea J d.faculties will, one by one, vanish from before us. Prom tiie singular position in which I have besa placed since the election in Novembet last ; uncertain when the duties of Mayor t ah .old devolve upon me, and from the un- , trnjnurj rsmnoga hwwwe ??n..<?, ? , l predecessors in office, I bj va not felt at liberty to resort to Ibo inuai sourced ot information 1 LS to the past workings ot tho City Uovorn- v neut, or as 'o tho present wants and general r condition of tho city itself. I shall now, how- ? nar, cntei- at onco_jipon that duty with what- c 3ver of zaai and earnestness I shatl oe abie t . 1 <->cnmaud ; and ebal!, from timo to timo, give 1 Mich information and submit tor \ our coneid- 1 aranon sue J suggestions as the exigencies ot j the time shall seem to indicate. } Without entering into details, we may see at j i glance that the condition of the city presents i a somewhat discouraging aspect. War ha? ' itamp-d its roleutlceo footpr.n's in every di- ( rection. Tho devouring flimo has swepi over < largo sections, and the city has but partially I recovered from these desolations. Our chan- 1 table institutions are unusually crowded with 1 dependent inmates, while the general eta.nti- ' tion < f business curtails the means necessary ' tor then: generous support. Every street and 1 corner is thronged with needy applicants for 1 labor and broad. The limited variety ot em- 1 ploymentB in the city and State, together with < tbe vast number ur unskilled workers, randers 1 thia our task of supplying tb esc nooda of the .1 laborer embarrassing. A varied agriculture < and the mechanic arts are sources of promi- I neut prosperity to cities. With these elements < in the background, with fie plavful but md >- f lent currents of oar mers chained to water- ' wheels and belts; with furnaces, foundries and < forges in foll operation; with the products of l spindles and looms constantly flowing in upon ' as, our "City by tbe Sea" would soon become ' tje coronet of heaney to the State. ' Bat at present it is far other * ?BJ. The lathes ' turns sluggishly in the workshop; the hammer ' falls irresolutely upon the anvil, and every 1 branch of business seems &s if stricken wita ' paralysis. Tbe city groans under a debt : amounting to nearly or quite one-fourth of its 1 entire valuation ; the interest, at least, of which 1 must be kept down, or it will accumulate with j the ratio of the swift revolving mouths, till ; ?nanci il rain may become complete. Such, gentlemen ot the Council, is the inheri? tance transtmtted to us by virtue of oar acc?s- : sion io tffioe. And, though tbe present?is-' 1 couraring aspect of affaira cannot properly be l charged to oar account, wo might not be held blameless for its continuance. Let us, theo, ' endeavor to discharge our high tra >ts with a 1 d?termination and honesty of puipose to achieve anything but impossibilities. The first requisite for administering the gov? ernment is money. Tins must be ramed mainly from taxation. Ia determining upon thc amount to be raised, reference should ba hud 1 flt UL tO OUT actual necessities, and tbeu to i he ' sbilitv of taxrayor* to project improvement*, which, though desirable, may not be ?eiraided as indispensable. lu our present condition we shall, no doubt, be-juatinod in applying the rnle of retrenchment, wnerewr lt caa bo done wittiont jeopardizing our most vital in terests. First in imp >rtance to any communi? ty are meaHurea pertaining to its health snd ( morals. Soundness of body is requisite , to the fall ano proper enjoyment of all other blessings, and heneo our sanitary regulations should not OD ly bo rigid, but t.iey Should be Btrictly enforced. Moral. ti, also, and virtue are as essential to ( general prosperity as are pure air and whole? some diet lo health. Therefore wo should throw around them all the safeguards which it is wubin our province to supply. Our charmes shouid.not boourtailed too pi r 8imQniou8iy, notwitbhtandi g the financial pressure upon us. 'lhe aged, the infirm, the orphan have demands upon us wnich no peo? ple, claiming to roragmzi common humanity, can disregard- Sickness, accident, and other varied misfortunes throw many helpless at our i teet. And while we chouid lend no sanction to idleness or vagrancy, we mast not turu a deaf , cor to utter distress nnd hejplo-soesa. To Hie ablo bodied employment should bo fur.vsned, so far as it is needed and oau receive proper re? muneration. If toe dei?Hod for lahor in tho , cry should not be sufficient to un o; tho wauts of ?ill those dependent unou it, they should bo j encouraged au 1. it need bs. assistoJ. io go out and culuvato the broud unoccupied acres ot tho couuirv. , In this connection I doom it not improper to m.iko briof uLusioa (o labor as the powerful engine wbich propels the machin?ry ot hts. So long as lt waa by law ooustrained, and in great measure unrequited, it was almost, from neie-auy, subject io degradation. 1 Bat upw that it has become tree and remu?e raiiv.-, the laborer possesses tho rigiittocom- ' maud respect, proportionate to the linpor ance sud r.-sponsib lilies of his calling, dp.tai. t-o ' far from h-ing independent ofi .b r io com. 1 paratively fruitless without it. I. is indeed ouiy its offspring, toddling by its side, ready to stumble un i tall tho moment the strong 1 uand ol its creator ?a witblie.d. Our million* 1 of Kilver and gold would bo left to canker in the vaults were there no urawny bauds or sii.ewy arms to a aol} it. The lab ter miy b.* ooor, he . nm be ignorant ; but iu nine cases out ot teu it is his misfortuue. r-tiier ihau hu built. In i elligeocu is au ix^e.lenco ; if. ii a power, ; acknowledged everywhere and justly so ; but it is due to no one class. It answers its high purpose tin- more effectually as ibis thu mora gvuentUy diftasod. Icisnotincomoariblo with toit but, on ibo contrary, it swoeteus and en? nobles it. C'ncimtus alternated between tho plough and ''affina of State," sud U Waa this j esper lil adap ation that has rendered bis name immortal. It would be well if moro of this Roman virtue should be transplanted into our nine eec th cootury. I will alindo to one other subject of vital im? portance to the city, and tuat ia its schools. There are several beautiful and commodious Behool edifices belonging to the city, be,mes otbe a built by private munificence. These all appear to bj well patronized, and yet it is painful to witness the crowds of va? grant, idle children, of all atreus, racPB and con? ditions, that constantly saunter through the streets, haug about the markets, wharves, rail? roads, and other publie reaorta, with no fixed occupation ot wtibi? means of support, com? ing in consta J t contact with whatever is vici? ous and demoralizing, till many of them be como adapts in every species of crime. With proper effort, thia ovil can bo checked, if it emu ot be entirely removed. For tho seourily of life and property, and for the promotion of peace and good order in tho community, to say nothing of its moral woii-beiog, I would rather have m each ward school accommodation j for all of suitable age, with compulsory power to enforce attendance at school, than cordoas of police, or even garrisons of armed soldiery. The State Constitution wisely enjoins upon us thia identical duty. Article 10 section 4, declares: ' It shall be the duty of the General A aernbtv to pr?vido for the compu.1 si ry attend? ance at either public or privait, schioia. of all children . between the agea of aix and sixteen years, not pbysioi?y or mentally disa? bled, for a term equivalent to twenty-tour month?, at least." Aud although the Letnala ture, al its last session, unfortunately tailed to complete au act for carrying out this piovi sion, still we as a corporation, with certain vest ed rights and pri lieges, need not, nor eau we afford to await the slow process of 8 ate leg? islation, but should address ourselves at once to tho grout werk, with euch resources as may bo at our own disposal. A true and noble SJU timent was recently uttered at our State Agri? cultural Convention by air. Clemson, son-in law ot Jobu C. Calhoun, that ?. there could bo DO prosperity, no advance, no civilization, with? out td.ical ion." In carrying put this object it m&v require ad? ditional provisions ; bot it were better policy to expend mcney in this direction than to be torced to invest it enlarging our almshouses, ? LI a and houses of correction. Unless a thor-' JUL'h reformation shall be speedily commenced, KO shsll be driven to the last ni med resort, in de rc nco of the public safety and prosperity. Of other important branches of municipal I interest and support, such aa the police, the Fire Department, the markets, hospitals, ?cc, ? I shall not speak on thia occasion, oalv pre- , Hising that they should bo made as beneficial ind effective as publio necessity, united with 1 jonnietont economy, shall demand. Q*nilemen of the Board oj Aldermen-lu i 3 ur direction of the city government I rust we "hull be controlled by principles of stern int cc - ? ity aud genuine patriotism. Io my own eff uta ' [ shall rely largely upon your wisdom, counsel 1 md friendly co-operation. I also invoke tho renerous aid of all good citizens p!ed?mg, in 1 eturo. my utmost eff jrte to secure for them jrospon ty and peace. So far as it sh ill bo my . jroviuoc to administer justice, I shall strive to .etain the acales in popper aijustmeiit-dis- 1 lensing to all without partiality. With this leteimination I enter upon tho responsibilities >f office, only asking impartial judgment from i caudid public. THE RESOURCES Of BARUWELL COUNTY.
