THE WAB IN CUBA. What General Jordan Saya About lt. Thc New York papers publish a letter from General Jordan, dated Gualmaro, October 19th, and addressed to Colonel Harrington, of Chicago. General Jordan acknowledges "thc effective re? sponse" made by the people of this country to his appeal, some months ago. for clothing, medicines, arms, Ac, for the Cubans. But more ls needed. General Jordan says: While we have no absolute need of foreign soldiers of any kind to carry this struggle to suc? cessful fruition, we do need supplies. As near as I am able to calculate, wc have 26,S00 men who have arms, and 1 stale In perfect sincerity that we could use immediately 75,000 stands or arms, and with that number in our hands could end this war-dn ninety days. We have not wasted our annies nor materials in attacking large cities -seaports, I mean; because, even though we took them, it would be at a sacrifice of life of our trained soldiers, with a perfect knowledge that we conld not hold them, for the reason that we have no artillery to defend them against the ^Spanish navy. Puerto Principe and all the in? terior towns we have so closely besieged that they are really of no avail to our enemy except the name or holding them. We occasionally are benelltted by it, ror in their attempts to send ?hem supplies we often capture their traius. Arter complimenting the ability or the Cuban leaders and the devotion or their roi lowers, Gene? ral Jordan says: I observe that there exists a donbt in the minds .fa few citizens of thc United Stats or the extrac? tion of slavery In this Island. Slavery was abol? ished when the standard of revolt was raised, and again by the twenty-fourth article of the consti? tution of this Republic There are 40,000 libera? ted slaves now following our camps. Thousands of them are armed with machetas, a half hatchet and hair tncat-ax. They have shown a willing? ness to meet the enemy in the open field with such weapons only as these But what I most desired to call your attention to ls our great need of clothing for our people. 1 feel assured that if this pressing want of these worthy people was well understood in the United States there would be such a tide of contributions tf materials and money poured upon us as would relieve all our wants ami secure for thc Cubans an early triumph over the truly barba? rous Spaniard. I wish this might be brought before the Ameri? can ladies. I wish that they might comprehend how 30,000 Cuban ladies are living an aboriginal ?life, half-naked and bnt poorly sheltered, as 'the forest and hRl-sides and spreading palm trees can shelter them. Such an army or self ; denying ladies was never before usseinbledon earth. TJjelr devotion knows no parallel except in the lives of our revolutionary mothers. I hope tba whole American people may realize the sit? uation of these people-their wants, sufferings, de?otiou and worthiness-and then aid them. THE STATE FAIR. SECOND DAY. THIRTY-FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS ON THE GROUND. Meeting of the Agricultural and Me? chanical Society. GENERAL HAGOOD'S ADDRESS. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, Thursday, November ll. The damp weather of yesterday gave place to? day to a glorious sunshine. Everybody was in the best spirits, and there were more than three thousand five hundred persons present on the FairGrounds. The gate fees alone for the first and second days have amounted to over $2000. A pressing invitation has been extended through President Magrath, of the South Carolina Railroad, to Governor Hoffman and party, who are expected to arrive in Charleston on Friday, to visit the Fair Messrs. George W. Williams A Co., of Charles? ton, to-day received the premium for the best shirting exhibited at the Fair. Thc display of stock ls very good. There is a number of blooded horses, and Durham, Devon and Brahmin cattle on exhibition; also, several different breeds of sheep and swine. The ladles who, according to time-honored be? lief, are always foremost in good works, have sent In innumerable specimens of housewifery, needle work, paintings and drawings, and, what is bet? ter, graced the exhibition with their sweet faces and encouraging smiles. Object? ot Special Interest. There are numerous articles on exhibition which are conspicuous for their beauty, novelty or utili? ty, and of these wc notice the following: An elegant phaeton, made at the manufactory of Messrs. Fowler, Foster A Co., at Spartanburg. Dotterer's rice planter and other agricultural Implements, manufactured by Mr. W. S. Hencrcy, of Charleston. A large silver vase, bearing a representation of the battle of New Orleans and the following in? scriptions: "Presented to Andrew Jackson by the Palmetto Society." "Presented by Andrew Jack? son to W. B. Stanley, (of Columbia.) President of Palmetto Society, In trust for last survivor." ? A case of blank books, manufactured by Mews. Walker, Evans A Cogswell, of Charleston. Fertilizers and specimens of phosphates, exhib? ited by Messrs. Geo. W. Williams A Co., Kinsman A nowell, J. N. Robson, Rhodes A Co., (H. S. Rhett A Son, agents.) and by the Wando Manufac? turing Company. Elegant workmanship as exhibited In a car? riage and bnggy, manufactured by Messrs. Car? roll A Co., of Richland County. Fine woollen goods manufactured at the Rock Island Mills, Charlotte, N. C. An examination of these fabrics will satisfy all that as fine and sub? stantial cloth as need be used can be manufac? tured at these mills. A quantity of neatly made earthenware, manu? factured by Mr. S. M. Lnndrutn, or Richland County. _V A miniature steam engine made by Master C. T. Mason, Jr., of Snmter, attracts considerable attention. It ls complete, and altogether is a most ingenious piece of mechanism. Master Mason ls evidently a chip of thc old block, as his father bas on exhibition several pieces of Ingenions and useful work. One is a burglar alarm. Thc renee, gates and windows are connected wita a bell by wires so charged with electricity that when any one touches either of the objects named the bell rings. The main wire can bc disconnected during the day. At night when connected, if all gates, doors and win? dows which are connected with the lesser wires be shut, the bell will be silent; but if one of them be open lt will ring violently. An attempt by any one to enter in not by the gate, bot by some other way, such as climbing over the fence, the bell will Immediately go ringing the alarm. That bell, un? der the skilful management of the inventor, ap? pears to be almost human. Certainly no one can effect a quiet entrance while it is on guard; if any of the wires be cut lt rings most viciously. List of Entries.

Thc Meeting of thc State Agricultura and Mechanical Society. Tliis society met on Wednesday evening, at Cai olina Hall. Thc president, General Hagood, calld thc society to order, and delivered the followini address, which was received with attention am applause: Gentlemen of thc Stat? Agricultural and Mt chemical Society-More than eight years hav elapsed since the last meeting or the societ; whose successors you arc. For rour or these titi voice or peaceful industry was hushed amid tb? clash of arms; the energies once devoted lo its ad vanccmcnt were directed to the preparation am wielding or the Implements or war, and the accu mulaliou or two Centuries of labor was freely dc voted to a cause In which all or it that was de structible perished. For other rour or these ycaii we have been recovering from this tierce paroxysn or civil strife, and have moved "as a sick mau it lils sleep." It was the teaching or our States Rights poll tlcians, apart from its being so nominated in tin bond, that with thc maintenance or their dugui i thc material prosperity or the Southern Statct Was Inseparably connected: or our theologians that our system or labor had Its sanction in Di vine decrees; and recent experience tu adjacent countries had shown, that without lt, in tropical climates at least, a race composing one-third ol our population could not be utilized, .and would relapse into fetishism. What wonder, then, that at the results or the war our people stood aghast: that the emigrant spirit of their ancestors par? tially revived; that for a time tho voice of hope herself grated harshly upon the ear-that it be? came fashionable to bc poor, and patriotic to be de? spondent. But, thanks to the reviving ener? gies of our blood, and the sunny skU-s and teeming soil with which a bountiful God has blessed us, to-day in productive capacity our glo? rious land nearly equals the value, ir not thc quantity, of thc days or her prosperity. Time, Which "makes all Illings even," has toned and mellowed the partisan exaggeration with which we held our peculiar views; and while with rever? ent loyalty we bury the dead past, wc now accept the inevitable present, and stand ready to grapple with its dilllcultics. lt ls in this spirit you are to? day assembled-that you arc herc marshulliug your forces for ouc more advance in the battle of material progress. Where are the gaps in our hue? What, means have wc left with which to bear worthily our part lu this renewed effort at pros? perity. The destruction or buildings, rences and stock, or capital invested iu banking, manufactures and trade, of liutaau lire, and the time devoted to the war, or lost in the prostration that followed, is so much clear loss. It is idle to go Into statistics to estimate it. Wc know and reel its magnitude, and time and labor can alone make lt good. The loss resulting irom thc enforced change in our system of labor is, however, thal which most prominently attracts attention-as involving both a loss ol capital invested and ol the means or re? cuperation. Let us endeavor to make some esti? mate or ila extent. The capitalist desiring, under our old system, to Invest $luu,00o in planting, found that about $40,0>0 was required for land and stock, and famishing the plantation; while the remaining $00,000 was required for purchasing the community or laborers for the place-all of which, were consumers, and something like hair oulv cf which were producers. With his bushiest well managed, at the end ot thc year he found that 33 per cent, of the gross product of his plan? tation had been consumed by, or been expended npon, this community-being in fact the wages of the labor of the producers among them-and his balance sheet probably showed a prout on his in? vestment of from 4 to 7 per cent, frwm current income, with an addition of 2 to 3 per cent, to his capital from natural increase of hts purchased labor. I feel assured that these figures nearly approximate accuracy, especially in thc item of the annual cost of slave labor. A strong proof of this is to bc found in thc uulvcrsal and simul? taneous determining throughout the South upou the third as the proper compensation for farm labor when emancipation made the payment Tluc to the worker himself, and threw upon him, and not upon the employee, the support of thc community of which he was a part. Farmers, generally, do not trouble themselves much with the details of .bookkeeping, but most pf them, hy a lumping process, have a shrewd Idea of how their business stands. They knew that they could hope for no reasonable profit and pay more for labor than they had paid before, how? ever the form or payment might be varied. Now, suppose for a moment that after emancipation this community of laborers had remained undis? turbed upon the plantation, and that their labor was as efficient as before. Thc income of thc planter would have remained the same, and he would not have realized a change in his affairs, unless he endeavored to sell out and abandon thc business. Then he would have found that he could no longer make a title to thc largest portion of thc investment In which be had placed his money. Individuals among us could and did often sellout to each other, and realize their slave capi? tal. Hut to whom could a community of slave? holders-the State-sell out ? And ir thc $6e,ooo was to remain an Investment permanently back? ed up In thc ownership of labor, it mattered not to thc State (thc labor remaining equally efficient) whether the employer owned the laborer, or thc laborer owned himself. Nor can I Ree, if as sup? posed, thc employer's Income from his planta? tion remains the same after emancipation as be? fore-If the percentage on iaud and slaves which tempted him into the business ls now realized from the land alone-what he lins lost by the change in the legal relation between himself and his laborers. He has lost the portion of his capi? tal Invested In slaves, but his land has appreciat? ed to exactly that extent. He is gettiug from lt ike customary rate of interest upou thc amount of his original investment, and continuing to do so, In a healthy and normal condition of public affairs, his land when sold would reimburse him. These, however, are unfortunately not the re? sults of emancipation In our case; and Ignoring thc potent influences of the political tinkering* to which we have been so mercilessly subjected-thc cause lies in thc rednccd ctllclency of labor. Thc extent of this, and not thc amount or thc original Investment in slaves, appears to me to bc the true measure or thc loss sustuiucd by thc change In our system. Thc novelty or rrccdom bas worn away, and the characteristics of the negro freedman as a laborer are now pretty well established. Released from the discipline of slavery, unappreciative of the value or money, and but little desirous or com? fort, his efforts are capricious; and while at Rome kinds or labor the old slave tasks may bc readily obtained, there arc others In which no amount of persuasion or pay can keep him steadily un to thc slave standard. He has, too, au aversion ror steady work for lils women and children, which nothing but the necessities of subsistence can overcome, and with thc first gleam or prosperity, he remits them to idleness or to casual day labor. These characteristics have reduced thc value of negro labor fully one-half, anti the instances are exceptional lu which plantations arc worked now with less than twice the numerical force required bcrorc emancipation. Tho cotton crop, which, in the almost exclusively agricultural nature or our pursuits, is thc best criterion of our Industrial efllclency, ts with difficulty pushed up to half Its aggregate lu thc years before the war, notwith? standing thc amount of white labor now diverted in that direction. V It ls true that when a full force of negroes ls at? tainable plantations arc worked Rticccssfully, und with a larger interest upon tho investment than formerly-the heavy bonus required In thc pro? curing of labor by purchase being stricken from thc account. Hut, gentlemen, wc never had in thc South In her best days a tithe of thc labor necessary to develop even her agricultural wealth. Her rich mining ami manufacturing resources were almost entirely neglected. Now, more than ever, population is our need, and population we must have, ir wc are once more to place ourselves alongside or thc nations In the grand march of material progress. From thc shores of Europe our ancestral home-we must draw an accession to our numbers, which will fuse with and become part of us. No effort should be spared in thai di? rection. It ls our best and safest resource. Hut pending, or in default or their coming, from the teeming hive or Asia we must satisfy our vital need. Should the frugal and Industrious Asiatic, as his habit has heretofore been abroad, prove only a sojourner with us-among us, but not of us, except in his industrial relations-his pres? ence will have been a blessing to us both. And shoold he make this bis home, there ls no reason why we may not dwell together in thc same har? mony which has marked our intercourse with another race during ull the vicissitudes of the years that have gone by since thc first negro was landed from thc Hutch vessel in James River. We have not found their presence herc Intolerable. Alongside of the Southern white man the negro wielded thc axe of thc pioneer; under his direction, he advanced thc productions of our agriculture, until thc markets of the civil? ized world became tributary to lt; dtiringour des? perate struggle for political independence he sup? plied our commissariat; and in our efforts for re? cuperation lrom the ravages of war, where would we have been without lils presence, even with thc efficiency of his labor depreciated as lt ls by causes perfectly naturul to humanity. In press? ing Immigration, whether European or Asiatic, lt is Tn view of the work before us, and in no spirit or hostility to thc negro. I would exclude not one of them from this broad (Jeld of labor, nor withhold from him one particle or the Trulls or his honest exertions. We have thus glanced, gentlemen, at some of the losses sustained in tlic eventful period since the last meeting of an agricultural society In ibis State. Hut have we gained nothing t Will the habits engendered by reduced circumstances avail us nothing in thc struggle for ru mr rc wealthy Will the fortitude under disaster, thc patient energy in retrieving it, which misfortune has developed, be worthless to us? Napoleon, said that, In war, thc moral was to the physical as three to one; and if this be true when brute force most avails, how much more shall the severe discipline our people have undergone aid them in attaining those victories which peace may achieve. lt ls, therefore, with a hopeful and a confident spirit tina 1 look forward to our future, and greet thc organization of this society us thc first cheer lug glimpse or thc coming day. Representing, as you du, nil or thc capital and intelligence that wc have among us devoted to industrial pursuits, a grave responsibility rests upon each and every one or .von, to sec that, so fur as lu him lies, the good work goes bravely on. Weakened by the destruction of more than hair ol' our resources; saddened by the memories of the past; oppressed by agencies" of the present, over which we have but little control, thc struggle may have In it a tinge of bitterness, but it has in lt, too, something or the heroism that thrilled the veins while yet thc red-cross banner floated In the breeze. "Tell Governor l'lckcns," said Maxcy Gregg, as his life-blood ebbed slowly away upon a Virginia batllc-tlcld, "tell Governor lMckens that 1 cheer fully die for South Carolina." It ls our fortune now to owe as high u duty to thc dear old State. We must live for her. The president next called upon thc several per? manent committees ror their rcporis. Thc fol? lowing reports were made: On fertilizers-John S. Green, chairman. On Improved Implements John H. Moore, chalrmau. On best method of cultivating cotton-John P. Kilian!, chairman. Ou best method of cultivating coris-Dr. J. W. Harker, chairman. Ou Held culture-T. W. Wood? ward, chairman. On motion, Messrs. J. P. Thomas J. H. Palmer, J. S. Richardson, M. !.. Honliain ami v. w. Daw Mo, were appointed a committee to repnrt some scheme to place the Agricultural and Mechanical Society upon an Improved footing. On motion, a committee was appointed to nomi? nate officers i'or thc ensuing yeur, and Mr. J. s. Richardson was made chairman. Mr. William Lawton read an interesting paper on agricultural matters, from a gentleman plant? ing in Georgia.

A meeting of the friends of a railroad exten? sion from Spartanburg, S. C., to Asheville, N. C., will be held in the Courthouse at Spartanburg, on thc evening of Tuesday, November 16. at 7 P. M., for the purpose of devising a scheme for the con? struction of this Important railroad. North Caro? lina and Cincinnati are expected tosend delegates to the meeting, and the subject of the road will doubtless be thoroughly and ably canvassed. Thc Spartan, in publishing the call, remarks: We Sope there will be a large attendance, as it is a subject of vital importance to our district and country at large. Thc extension of our rail? road, so as to secure a Northwestern connection, ls, we think, absolutely essential to the proper de? velopment of the resources of our country. The business men of this State and Western North Carolina are becoming thoroughly convinced of thc immeasurable advantages which this line possesses over every other, and they are now working in earnest to secure its adoption through thc co-operation of Northwestern capitalists. Even some of the people of Charleston are be? ginning to wake up to thc suicidal policy they have so long been pursuing in spending millions or money to cuild thc Rabun's Oap Road. They arc now beginning to see that that road, be? sides being a much longer and more expensive route, will, when built, defeat the very object Charleston had In view In desiring its construc? tion. Instead of emptying its trade Into titi- lap of Charleston, thc friends of the Port Royal and Augusta Road have already determined, as soon as the Rabtin Gap Road has been completed, to tap the latter by an extension of thc former to Ninety-six-thus diverting trade and travel from Charleston, by offering a shorter and cheaper route to thc seaboard, and leaving the "Queen City" to repent, when lt ls too late, for having famished her rivals with an effectual weapon to accomplish her own overthrow. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. Thc Charleston Baptist Association. The one hundred and eighteenth session of this body convened at Sumter on Saturday last. The introductory sermon was preached with much feeling by Rev. J). W. Cuttino to a large and attentive congregation. Rev. Or. E. T. Wlnklcr was chosen moderator and Rev. W. E. Hughson, clerk. The forenoon of Saturday was consumed in receiving newly organized churches, and greeting messengers from other bodies, Ac, and thc afternoon In making new appointments, niling vacancies and appointing the subsidiary boards. Thc charity sermon was preached with mnch power and elo? quence at thc Iiaptist Church on Sabbath morning by Ur. Winklcr, alter which a collection for benevo? lent purposes was tak-m up. The pulpits of thc Presbyterian and Methodist Churches were ac? ceptably tilled, on Sabbath morning, by Rev. Thomas W. Melllchamp and Rev. I). W. Cuttino. In the afternoon, addresses were delivered to the children of the several Sabbath schools of thc town, assembled at the Iiaptist Church, by Colonel ?. W. Edwards, Ur. E. T. Wlnkler and Rev. W. Rice.

Shreds of State News. Jonas Brcwton, an old and respected citizen of Spartanburg, died on the 6th instant, of para? lysis. A negro horse thief was arrested at Kingstrce last week with thc stolen animal in his posses? sion, but made his escape thc first night of his Imprisonment. The horse ls still in possession of the town marshal awaiting an owner. Mr. P. C. Johnston, for several years principal of the Male High School at Reid ville, in Sparen? burg District, and one or the most esteemed edu? cators in our State, has gone West to assume thc presidency or the Sulphur Springs Female High School, Hopkins County, Texas. As thc up train on the Spartanburg and Union Railroad was passing near Mr. Cist's the other day, a colored woman In attempting to pull a child off thc track, was struck by thc eugine, amt so much injured that there was little hopi; of her recovery when the train left her. A PRIMITIVE PEOPLE. An Arcadiun Community in Tiuna sylvunlH. A correspondent of the London Times orites from Klausenburg, lu Transylvania : If you look at the map, Szek is not twenty miles from thc capital, but ir you want to go there you must reckon half a day in summer, wheu the direct road is passable, and in winter or spring, when you have to make a great round, you may deem yourself lucky if you get there without ac? cident towards evening. Where roads in general arc so good as they are in Transylvania this seems surprising, but it linds its explanation in tho natural features or thc district. The Interior of Transylvania forms one great basin, evidently once thc bcd of thc sea. lu the very centre ot the country, between the course or the rivers Maros and Sumos, there rises au undulating plateau or late tertiary sandstone and shale, soft and fria? ble To Judge from single old trees ami small patches of forest still remaining scattered, the greatest part of this district was wooded, but IIOW lt la a succession of nuked downs, harboring small lakes in every depression. The whole district, known under the name of thc "Pasture," is considered the most productive or Transylvania, lt was the great grazing dis? trict or the country before 184s, when most of the large herds of fine cattle and horses were dispers? ed. Every proprietor lu the surrounding districts considered il almost as a necessary portion of his farming to have some lund lu the district, lor lt ?ras, above all, through this part that he made his running pay. Since the great herds or cattle have been dispersed, much or the laud has been broken up. Il strikes you that il has been clone systematically, for while thc slopes facing south have been left Intact, the slopes facing north have been ploughed up and bear luxuriant crops of Wheat, rape and Indian corn. This is owing to a peculiarity which you have no trouble in dis covering, for while on 'the northern slopes you see fat black soil, on the southern slopes, through thc scanty grass, you see yellow sand mixed with marl. As in tile huge alluvial plains of Hungary, Inc material for roads is wanting on the "Pas* turo,"' tho stone which is Used decomposing so soon that lt ls dust almost before it is laid on the road. With thc exception, therefore, of the parts of the road lying close to the river, where gravel may be got, "they can, even with thc great labor bestowed upon" them, scarcely be kepi up, ami have to be relaid almost every spring. Although it boasts of a dial ler from King Mat? thias Co rv in us of the fifteenth century, which in? sures to il all those rights and privileges which lias been granted to linds, thc capital of hun? gary, the noble town of Szek, as it is called lu diplomatic language, is little different in appear? ance from a village. You see the same low, one storied houses, with their gable-ends turned to? wards thc street, and separated from each other by the court-yard, merging into th" garden be? hind. A wooden verandah runs along the side of Hie building turned towunls thc court-yard, and under tho thatched roofs you see the heads of yel? low indian corn ami tobacco leaves strung up in a row, forming a sort of festoon. To judge by Um similarity of thc houses you seem to have realized in your journey tho land of equality, nor are you, Indeed, far off here see? ing thc dream of the enthusiasts realized, for if thoo) is not much wealth there is no great [lov? erly either lu Szek; proletarians or beggars are unknown. Where no one ls in ansolnte want, and all arc more or less on tho same level, Hie greatest in? citement to crime is gone; and so it ls in this Transylvania!! Arcadia. Except now and then a mw on a Sunday evening, there ls but little for justice and police to do, and even these rows can only tie of rare occurrence when in a population of live lliuusand souls only halfadozen are known as di uikiwds. Theft ls uuheard of; not a house has a lock, agricultural Implements are kept in the fields, household property In thc open court? yards, where not even watch-dogs are kept. There is, indeed, a prison remaining, but ll has been used for years as a lumber-room. In thc midst of all thc political and religious agitatious through which Transylvania has gone in olden as well as iu moro recent times, thc place bas not been disturbed. There Hungarian and Rooiuan have beeu and arc living in thc best har mon", th^ best proof of which is that the Mayor ls a Koornoo, although by fa/ thc greater number of the inhabitants are Hungarian. As with poli? tics so ii ls with religion. The place might pass as a model of tolerance, for there Protestants, Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics, and orthodox Greek are living in the best possible understand? ing with each other, and what is, perhaps, even more, their clergy are on the be3t terms with each other. Yet from all this, or from the isolated, secluded position of the place, you must not imagine that the people arc sunk In apathy, and do not en? deavor to better themselves. They are not con teat with tilling their native soil, but have their commerce in cattle aud wood. They go away with their carts and oxen or horses to retch the wood, which they bring down and sell In the more prosperous towus. When one secs this simplicity and primitive? ness, one almost begins to doubt whether the railway which is projected in thc valley of the Szamos, a few miles on", will bc a boon or not, for it will necessarily modify all this, and gradually efface thc originality which is so Interesting. But this will be thc fate of many of those small com? munities In Transylvania, of which the Town of Szek is one, and perhaps tho most curious type.
