TM? Slate Agricultura : ima Mechanical
Sooicy.
The period is approaching for the Fair
of oar State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society. Wo hope that oar friends
throughout the State, from the moan
tains to the sea-board, are preparing for
this important enterprise. Judging from
tho indications, we have every reason to
believe thai the Fair will be well attend?
ed, &nd. although we shall labor nader
many disadvantages for the first year,
yet no doubt the ann nal - Fairs in this
State will bo resumed nuder good aus?
pices. Ia other States, the subject is re?
ceiving the- attention it deserves. The
New York Herald ?aya:
"THE SEASON OP FAIRS.-September
and October are the chosen months of
the year in whioh the different State and
County Fairs are held all over the United
State?. It ia especially the season -when
the staple products of the republic are
in their full, perfection, and in no coun?
try in the world, eau a more extensivo
variety of the products of the earth be
produced than iii this favored land of
ours. The New England Agricultural
Society has jost completed at Fortland,
Maine, its round of the six States in
eluded within its limits, being a little
premature ia the time for holding the
fairs in the Eastern States, for the rea?
son that the season is comparatively
muoh later there than in the Middle and
Western States; bat tho finale was never?
theless successful. The Fair of the Ame?
rican Institute, whioh is especially de?
voted to the exhibition of the results of
the inventive genius of our citizens, is
now in operation in this city. The State
Fairs of New York, New Jersey, Illinois,
Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, Cali?
fornia, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Missouri are held in the
latter part of the present month and in
the beginning oz October. The New
York State Fair will commence in Elmi?
ra September 14, and continue three
days. The ninth fair of the St. Louis
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
will commence on the 4th of October
and continue six days. We learn that
preparations are being made to render
the latter one of the most superb and
successful displays of agricultural pro?
ductions and mechanical skill ever held
in the Western oonntry, making it, in
fact, more of a national exhibition than
one purely local. The schedule of pre?
miums amounts to over 330,000. Uni?
versal activity pervades the County Agri
oaltaral Associations, and although they
may not be conducted upon so large a
scale as the State fairs, yet there is every
assurance that they will be managed with
a degree of liberality that will mako them
popular with all contributors. The pre?
sent season has been so prolific in all
agricultural productions, in the cereals
as well as in fruits, vegetables, flowers-in
short, everything that a bounteous soil
and a varied climate can bring forth,
that we feel confident in predicting a
series of unparalleled successes in all the
undertakings this fall of onr agricultu?
ral societies, tending as they do to the
promotion of the interests of so impor?
tant a class of our industrial population."
The Winnsboro News thinks tho pro?
position of the meeting in Union County
to repudiate the radical State debt comes
too late. With regard to Gov. Scott's
pet scheme, it says: "Now tho State
would not, perhaps, approve of tho Blue
Bidge Railroad job, if it were a question
ab inilio, but threo or four millions
having been invested in the job al?
ready, the sentiment of the State is, that
less will be lost by finishing it than by
stopping short with it half way."
At a public meeting, held in Wal?
halla, on the 11th instant, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, in tho judgment of
this meeting, the County of Oconee
should subscribe the sum of $200,000, if
the Air Line Railroad shall bo built and
a depot located within or near the court
house town of said County; and, if else?
where in tho County, then a reasonable
amount in proportion to the benefit to
be derived from it by the County.
DEADLY OIL AGAIN.-Tho Chemical
News, for August, has tho following:
"Four children were bnrncd to death
at Corydon, Indiana, on the night of
Joly 3d. Tho fire is attributed to the
explosion of a lamp while the children
were all asleep. Jnly 13, Nora Wolf, of
New York, aged fourteen, was fatally
barned by au explosion of kerosene,
used for kindling u fire. July 14, John
Stein, of Yonkers, was shockingly burn?
ed by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
July 13, a korosene lamp exploded at 71
Bayard street, New York. Mrs. Ami
Festlonel was burned to death in Balti?
more by the explosion of a can of kero?
sene oil: Mr. Wellington, of Boston,
was fearfully burned by the explosion of
a lamp containing 'lucine oil.' The
lamp was shattered into more than 100
pieces. 'Lucine oil' is a light aud dan?
gerous naphtha, ono of tho most explo?
sive products of petrolenni. The East
Hampton Rubber Thread Works and tho
Valley Pump Company's Works were de?
stroyed by fire July 12, caused by an
oxplosiou of naphtha; loss, $140,000.
We shall continue to record these shock?
ing casualties caused by dangerous kero
soue oil, till, by pnssago of suitable laws,
we are satisfied that the public has bcon
properly educated on tho subject."

Boinest, President Newberry Immigra
tion Society:
WALHALLA, August 16, 1869.
Major ? W. Pa>r, Alston, S. C.
DE AU SIR: I am here endeavoring to re?
cruit my health ; nnd yours of TToly 58,
moiled 81st Joly, ic 'now before me. I
drop yon a Une in reply.
I am glad to learn that your District
Society is turning thoir attention to the
subject of immigration, as I regard it the
only salvation of our country; and will
be pleased to give you any information
in our power.
We novo already brought in nearly
300 immigrants, from sixty to seventy
five per cent, of whom nave proved
themselves good laborers. I haye now
on my place nine who aro giving far
greater satisfaction than the free negro;
and who are employed for wages, whioh
negroes show an unwillingness to do,
and whom the Union Leagues have in?
structed to demand half of what they
make next year, which the planter can?
not possibly give.
In view of tho probable scarcity of
labor noxt year, we will doubtless have
more orders for immigrants this winter
than wo will be able to fill, so thoso who
wish to secure laborers through tho so?
ciety should file their orders as soon ns
possible, for they will be filled in the
order in which they are given.
Our agent will go on to Castle Garden
early in November, and remain there
until near tho end of December, and se?
cure all the laborers who can be induced
to como South; and these will bo given
to parties who have ordered, according
to their names on the order book. "First
como, first served."
Wo will endeavor to mako arrange?
ments with all the railroad companies in
the State to deliver immigrants at lowest
possible rates, and, of course, where
most convonient for parties, wa will do
liver them at stations on the Charlotte
Road.
Your people shoald endeavor to be in
time with their orders, as some laborers
will be sont on as carly ns 15th November,
and theso can bo of service in getting out
the oottou orop.
We will in a short time issue a circular
setting forth our plan of operations and
terms, and will send you some to distri?
bute among thoso interested in tho work.
Very respectfully,
T. S. BOINEST,
President Newberry Immigration So?
ciety.
M. ROCHEFOKT ON THE IMPERIAL AM?
NESTY.-M. Rochefort, the leader of the
"Irreconciliables," as he is now styled,
writes as follows with regard to the late
amnesty of the Emperor Napoleon:
"To-day, my friends inform mo, that a
sponge has been passed over my past ca?
reer, and that an august olemency (Cle?
mence, du reste, is the name of my cook)
has remitted the various penalties I have
incurred during the last year, by dint of
economy and good conduot. Who-what
is it-what do they want with me? To
what penalties do they allude? Have I
been amnestied? I know nothing of it.
What law Courts and Government de?
cide upon has nothing to do with mc,
and I have determined to remain quito
unconnected with oither tho ono or tho
other. The only sentence and tho only
amnesty I can accept, aro those awarded
by the pooplo. It forma tho only tribu?
nal aud the only power beforo which it
is my good pleasure to bow. I shall only
return to France when the people recall
mo by its vote. I shall ouly ro-ontor my
country in obedience to the imperativo
mandato which I shall presently solicit
from tho electors of tho First Circum?
scription. I receive willingly from tho
peoplo, which I know and love, but it
does not suit me to bo under au obliga?
tion to low persons {gens) whom I bavo
never seen, and who have never been
presented to mc."
Fall bonnets aro decidedly larger than
thoso of last season. They aro high,
towering structures, in the Houri Quatre
and Louis Quinze stylos, and once more
begin to roscmblo a bona ?de bonnet.
Tho frame fits tho head like a closo oap,
and worn very far forward. A standing
revers of velvet or Bilk is turned up at
tho front and at the back. The space
between those is filled by a high Watteau
puff, on which is looped a mass of trim?
ming, which seems to be held in plaoo
by the upright revers. Narrow ribbons
tied under tho chin hold tho bonnet se?
curely. Another style, of Quakerish
simplicity, resombling an infant's bonnet
in shape, has a close-fitting band in front,
and a doep, flat back, or orown, falling
in two or throe ourves below to fit ovor
tho coiffure of chatolain braids, with re?
ference to which it was evidontly de?
signed. Tho front frames the face plainly,
without ornament; the back is adorned
with trailing feathers and vines that bang
among tho low braids.
MURDEH.--A colored mau, named
Frank Burnet, was killed on Tuesday
night, about 10 o'clock, in tho roar of
tho brick blacksmith Bbop, on Main
street. The shot which oansed bis death
was distinctly heard by a largo numbor
of our citizens. Those who first reached
him fonnd him living, but unconscious
and unablo to speak. He died in a fow
minutes. Nothing positive has yet boon
developed as to tho murderer. All the
circumstances indicate a premeditated,
cold-blooded murder, and we trust tho
guilty parties will soon be brought to
justice. Tho murderod man is a brother
to tho unfortunate man who was wound?
ed on the night provious.

DEATH OF COL. Wll. P. BmgOIiMt.
The mournful intelligence of the death
of Gol. Wm. Pinckney Shingler, of
Charleston, was received yesterday. Col.

A white man and his wife, with two chil?
dren, reaohed this city from San Fran?

noon, having made the trip on foot,
and been many mouths on the journey.
They are on their way "to hum," down

ers.-Petersburg Express.
SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.-We are
informed, says the Charleston Courier,
by a gentleman of high position and re?
spectability in Columbia, one qualified to
know, that tho statement concerning cer?
tain changes [in this institution is mere
rumor, and at least unauthorized by the
Board.
A Wiscousin paper says: "The corn
crop is a pigmy; it is a nonentity; it is a
factotum, a bankrupt. Everybody seems
to have planted the small, yellow kind,
and as emblomatio of its goue-upneas, it
is wearing tho weeds of uttor discouso
lateness. It no more appears in silks
and tassels. Joseph of old would make
a poor stagger buying corn the coming
harvest."
HORRIBLE DEATH.-We are pained to
learn that a little boy, about five or seven
years old, by tho namo of Wm. Thomas,
tho son of Mrs. Fortune, residing on
Noo's Court, died on Saturday morning,
with hydrophobia, having been bitten
some seven weeks since. The poor little
fellow suffored excruciating agony daring
the night preceding his death.

A man named Daniel Bryant, who
"took to" tho swamps in '62 to avoid the

near Newberne, a few days ago, and in?

ing a civilized life, but soon discovered
that he was not in a oivilized part of the

A STRANGE HOMICIDE THROCOH JEA?
LOUSY.-Dr. Lott, of Oakland, Misaissip- j
pi, killed Capt. F. D. Barnes, a young1
lawyer of that place, on the 9th instant.
As wo get tho statement from tho Grena?
da Sentinel, it appears that Dr. Lott was
addressing a young lady of thut placo,
and ho had made n confident of his love
affair to his room-mate, Capt. Barnes.
Capt. Barnes remarked that he intended
soon to seek her acquaintance, and oall
upon hor, which ho did. Tho next ovon
iug after his visit to her, Dr. Lott called
upon her, and was discarded. This in?
censed him to a very great extent, and ho
seemed to labor under tho impression
that Capt. Barnes bad prejudiced hor
against him in somo manner. Tho next
day, arming himself with a six shooter,
ho said to Capt. Barnos, "Have yon not
betrayed my confidence? Answer mo
truly, for your life dopends upon it."
Capt. Barnes attempted to explain, but
beforo ho could do so Lott fired, tho ball
passing through the heart of his victim,
causing instant death. Notwithstanding
this, ho stood over tho lifeless and pros?
trate man and fired the remaining Ave
charges into him; and then mounted his
horse and rodo away.

i ANOTHjm STOBT ABOUT TUE SIB JOHN
FBA?TJCMN ABOT{<?. EXPIIOBEBS.-A party,
'W?X089 reliability is said to bo ' vouohed
for, writes to tho Bulletin from Stn Bu ola
Ventura, that a document was found on
Uki? beach at that place, August 80, mubh
mutilated. In it the flrider*was requested
to forward it to tho Secrotary of the Ad?
miralty, Lioudou, or the British Consul
at'the nearest port. Tho. request was
printed in six commercial languages.
The margin and every vacant portion
was filled with writing relating tc Sir'
John Franklin and party, the lost Arctio
explorers. The document was evidently
coat into the water in latitude 60 deg. 37
rain. 40 sec., longitude 98 deg. 4 min, 5
sec. It gives an account of the desertion
of tbe ships Erebus and Terror. The
party numbered 105 at the time of the
desertion, under command of F. B. M.
Crossier. They succeeded in reaching
the above latitude and longitude,? where
they found a relic of the late Sir John
Boss. It states the party wintered at
Beechy Island, in 1846-'47, and Sir
John Franklin died Juno ll, 1847. It
contains many interesting incidents con?
nected with the expedition.
Gen. Beauregard, it seems, dyes. A
letter from the White Sulphur Springs,
in sketching tho notabilities at a recent
ball there, says:
"But what young man is that whose
raven moustache may be seen wherever
beauty and grace reign most decidedly?
Some one whispers that it is Gen. Beau?
regard, the great engineer and gallant
soldier; but surely that cannot bo, for
the last time I saw that great chieftain
his hair was as white as driven snow, and
his bronzed features were not those of
the ball-room gallant. But another look
convinces me that my friend is right;
especially when I remember tho ready
reply mado by tho bravo chieftain to ono
of the belles who twitted him on this
change. *When I was in command of an
army,' said he, 'I used to dye my hair
whito to impress my soldiers with a pro
por respect for my ago and position; but
after the war closed, and tho necessity
passed away, I allowed it to return to its
natural color.' May his locks never tnru
grey, and may ho live long to enjoy tho
society of which he is so bright an orna?
ment."
JOURNALISM. --The New York Times
lins an article on journalistic amenities,
whioh contains soma excellent sugges?
tions. Wo extract the following para?
graph:
"There is a method of advocating a
oanso by denouncing its enemies, which
may be, and often is, carried to excess,
especially by youthful partisans. It is
not by harsh names nor by persistent
detraction that men aro persuaded to
abandan their opinions, and those who
ply that sort of warfare are usually less
intent on gaining proselytes than in
making a publia or partisan merit of
their zeal. No one is fit to be a guide
to public opinion who has not learned
that the bad men are not generally qaite
so bad, nor the good men quite so good
as the intemperate partisan is disposed
to believe thom, and soft words often
dissolve prejudices and errors in our ad?
versarios which violence and detraction
render solid and imperishable."

making photographic pictures. He has
called into requisition tho assistance of
ordinary dook machinery, whioh, while
recording tho time of day accurately., at
tho samo timo is the motive power in t ho
production of a complete photography.
This invention, recently ,patented, hus
tho advantage of imparting a softer tint,
a more accurate delineation, and in all
respects a botter picture than eau be ob?
tained by the old method; and being
labor-saviug and solf-aoting, the price of
the photograph can be greatly reduced.
The largo experience of tho inventor, and
the successful tests he has applied to this
combination, guarantees a faithful and
true likeness in the highest style of the
j art, and at reduced prices. This im
I provement will, doubtless, be brought
1 into general use, and the inventor there
I by reap tho reward to which he is so
justly entitled.
