MASONIC FAIR.-There has been no enter? tainment in Charleston since the war that has proved such a draw as the Fair of the Masonic fraternity. Last night the crowd was fearful. Promenading was out of the question, and only a slew motion around the hail could be observed. This rendered the visitors completely at the mercy of the enterprising merchants. Retreat was Im? possible, and greenback was the response to every demand. The victims were literally fleeced, but theytook the infliction good-naturedly, and only regretted that their pile was limited. One rural ander, whose pockets were plethoric, was heard to say that "if he hadas many bills as could burn np a wet aale" be would spend them all on the Bair. The tables show but little signs or the havoc made on them during the three day's engage? ments, and the fair venders of unmentionable nick-nacks state that their ammunition is not yet expended, nor their harvest gathered.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEWS. I was pained to seo my name used, by one of the speakers at a late meeting of the workingmen of Charleston, as the champion of a class. While I have ever been the friend of the workingman and mechanic, it ls evidently in bad taste for any par? ticular class in a community to array Itself against all others; and while I fully appreciate the compliment tendered me by my comrades of the arts, I must feel that I am equally Indebted to many warm friends in almost every class of our commnntty for the high honor conferred upon me, in being selected to represent them In so hon? orable a body as our Senate of i860; and I would further say that ii is my opinion that any one who would consider the interest of bat one class of his community in such a place, is unworthy of the position to which they had elevated him. So far as the organization of onr industrial classes into societies, for their mutual protection, benefit and elevation, is concerned, this ls but right and proper, and eminently a move in the right direction; but when they do this at the ex? pense of all other classes, and with a view to compel a larger support than competition will warrant, then have they lost sight of the high aim for which they set out, and no movement can succeed which expects to build up one Interest at thc expense of pulling down another equally en? titled to support In my bumble judgment this ls not a time for exciting discord between em? ployers and employees, and If our sensible work? ing men will look thc matter rightly in thc face, they will find that lt ls not the disposition of those who are now affording them a place for earning a support to oppress aud grind them; but that the want of a better support in to bc laid at the door of our common misfortunes. The Ruler of our destinies has tried us in a scathing furnace, and those who are worthy will come out brighter for the trial; but let no man think he has done a worthy act, when, combining to help his fellow? man, he forces another to pay the costs of his be? nevolence. Aglance at the condition of our community ls sufficient to show that the present suffering of our working classes ls not thc result of a disposition on the part of employers to oppress their em? ployees; for if this was the case then the first class would be enjoying thc luxuries of wealth, while the latter would be enduring even severer trials than what is now their lot Can you who look back to days of plenty without taxation now expect to enjoy those halcyon days In the midst of repeated loss af crops, which have always re? warded yon In past years with employment, com? petence and comfort* Can yon expect thc same resalta with fields stripped by caterpillar and drought? I hear you answer, no I Then do not blame your fellow-man, nor an AH-wlse Provi? dence; neither set yourselves np against either, but, accepting thc situation like men, let us all determine to nphold one another, till God's bless? ing shall at last reward our endurance, and give ns once more plenteous harvests, and overruling the present tyranny, relieve us from these taxa? tions which are grinding our city and State to the dust. It may be asked why some are now crying out under these difficulties ? I answer, it is because the lessons of the war have been forgotten, and that close economy which wonld make both ends meet ls lost sight of In the effort to bc like some of oar neighbors who aro moro thrifty and pros? perous than ourselves. Let us go back to these lessons, though they arc bard to study, and we will find that there are very few who have patient? ly tolled on that arc not better off to-day than they were five years ago. Accept the lessons, then, and, instead of banding together to force others who are not able to do more for you, unite in a common brotherhood, determined that by greater Individual exertion and strict economy you will be more useful to your community and to each other. As an evidence of tbe correctness of the last piece of advice, and also as a proof that employers are not enriching themselves at the expense of the employees, I will state, In con? clusion, that the economy forced on three of my employees, by the condition of business in thc past two years, requiring me to hold back a part of their pay, was thc means, when the improve? ment In business enabled mo to meet these en? gagements, of enabling them to undertake the purchase of moderate-priced domlcils for their families, while your humble servant still pines for his own vine and fig tree. Very respectfully, yours, WILLIAM S. HENBKEY.
