We hop? to find the State represented from the mou li? t?is: tc'the sc&b?ard. Th* movement is'One that commonda itself to the warm support of every friend and advocate of home interests. Before the war, our Fairs were successful and achieved much good.. Now, moro than ever, we must ?euro oat-wyon thia line. The State of South Carolina uaw oxpeota every truo sou to do Ilia part in the work of material regeneration. The ravages of war must ho repaired with the victories of peaco. What, tho sword has prostrated, the plow, the loom and the anvil must upraise. This Fair, to-morrow, representa South Carolina organising her forces anew for the industrial arena. Let our pcoplo work on in faith and hope, and ere long, despite political obstructions, wo shall again enjoy prosp?rons days. -Li: % 4 ? ? The Richmond Dispatch says of Gen? eral Preston's address: "Last evening, at 8 o'clock a very largo select aa di ance assembled at the Brond streotj-Methodist Church to hear the address of General John S. Freston, of Colombia. B. C. The orator, who is a gentleman of very commanding appear? ance, was listened to with great atten? tion, and, delivered an address full of classic eloquence, and which waa made doubly interesting by the earnest and beautiful delivery of the speaker. He reviewed, ita-the'liveliest manner, the noble-efforts oE our ancestors in the es? tablishment of the right of self-go ve m meat and the suppression of tyranny, and pointed to tho duty of the present generation in the accomplishment of the glorious future promised to Virginia. He spoke for about an hour and a half, and kept bis audience very much inte? rested. At thc conclusion of his address Mr. Lyons moved that a vote of thanks bo tendered tho speaker, and that he be requested to furnish the Society with a copy foi publication. Tho motion was carried unanimously." A WnoNo IMPRESSION COKUEOTED. Many persons believe that there is no value 'io nhythlng that does not come froth "the North."

Nov 0 RICHARD O'NEALE A SON. PROCLAMATION ! Hy hi* Excellency HO Ii SH TE. SCOTT, Go? vernor of the State of South, Carolina. WHEREAS, information has been received at this Department, that portions of the Couuty of Sumter, in said State, sue in- i fested by bands of lawless aud unprincipled | men, who, under pretext of suppressing illicit j traffic in cotton, have wilfully and maliciously set tiro to and consumed the storehouses of | citizens, and openly avow their determination | of perpetrating similar outrages upon the pro- j porty of others, unless the threatening notices served upon them by theso wrong-docra aro promptly obeyed; and whoreas, these unlaw? ful parties are regularly organized, armed and mounted, and, disguised in fantastic cos? tumes, prowl about at night, in bodies too slroug to bo confronted or arrested by the peace officers of the Countv, and this, in dero? gation of the laws, in violation of the peaoo and good ordor of the community, and tho jeo? pardizing of the lives and property of the citi? zens. Now, therefore. 1, BOBEBT K. SCOTT, Go? vernor of tho Stato of South Carolina, do hore bv issue this, my proclamation, enjoining and i I directing all Magistrates, Sheriffs, and other j j officers of tho peaco, in said County of Sumter, to bo faithful, vigilant and active iu the up? holding of tho laws and in tho discharge of their duties, and especially in ferreting ont, and bringing to punishment, the perpetrators of these nefearious outrages; and I would I earnestly invoke tho aid of tho law-abiding j citizens of tho County, of those who have an interest in its reputation and prosperity, tln.t I they all discountenance ana discourage all measures and proceedings tending to violence | and insubordination, and especially those which would substitute for the peaceable pro? cess of tho law the torch of the incendiary. i Incendiarism, at all times and places, is a erimo of tho gravest magnitude, but it? terri? ble teachings make it doubly dangerous in a community liko our?. If thoso who pie tend to possess the property, tho intelligence and tho morality nf the community resort to it, under tho pretence of enforcing law, or punishing dishonesty, they moat not bo surprised if others, not so favored, smarting undera senso of injustice and wrong, by which, perhaps, they nave lieen defrauded of the hard-earned proecods of their labor, ?nd their families de? prived of food, clothing and shelter, (and BUch cases aro not nnlroquent. ) should resort to tho same summary process for redress. Tho pro? tection of law being withdrawn from property, sud a self-constituted and irresponsible body of individuals assuming to ihemselves the power of pronouncing upon the guilt or inno? cence of individuals, alleged to bo dishonest, but too frequently because they aro personally or politically obnoxious to their accusers, the dood-gates of anarchy and crimo aro at once opened; antagonistic associations will be or? ganized, and tho community becomo the prey of hostile factions, (primarily excitod hy re? venge, but which will eventually be character? ized by plnnder and license, and tho exhibi? tion ot tho worst passions of human nature. Tho lurid glare of tho mid-night torch will light np many a peaceful neighborhood to scenes of desolation and plunder, and to at? rocities, at tho mero allusion to which hu? manity shudders, and which every good citi? zen, every lover of his kind, all who valuo and honor tho reputation and prosperity of the Stato, should ardently deprecate and devote their most strenuous exertions to prevent and punish. {(Sit is my duty and determination to uso all ' Ibo measures at my disposal to put a stop to j proceedings that may lead to such deplorable 1 results; and with thia purpose 1 have sum ! monod to tho aid of tho peace offiers of said County the armed polico of thc Stato. Should I this bo insufficient in arroeting and anppress I ing theso ?Mogal proceedings, howovor much I may regret tho necessity, I shall placo the County of Sumter under martial law, and in voko tho entiro povrer of the Stale in re-estab? lishing tho supremacy of tho laws. In testimony whereof, I havo hereunto set my hand, and caused the groat seal of tho ' Stato to bo aii'u 'ul, at Columbia, this 8th day of Novomber, A. D. 1869, and in the j, ninety-fourth year of tho independence of the United States of America. BO RE RT K. SCOTT, Oovomor. F. L. CAn no ZO, Secrotary of Stato. NovD SST Sumter Ken* copy once. Agency.

TIVE COMMITTEE.-Quito an interesting incidont occurred yesterday afternoon, at tho Fair Grouuds. This was tho formal turning over of the grounds and buildings by the City Council of Columbia, to the Executivo Committee ol" the Stato Agri-1 cultural and Mechanical Society. The Mayor and Aldermen were present, and of the Executive Committee, were, General Hagood, Secretary Aiken, and Messrs. Wallace, Palmer aud Thomas. 1 The Mayor made tho following remarks: Mr. Presiilcnt, and Members of the State Executive Committee. Allow me, gentlemen, on behalf of the city of Columbia, to transfer to your keeping the buildings and grounds for the use of tho Stato Agricultural and, Mechanical Fair. They aro not what tho city would desire; you must take the will for the deed; such as they are, the Socie? ty is made most welcome I need not dwell on the poverty of our city; that you may bo conversant with, for every South Carolinian knows full well how our city suffered. Property-private, as well as public-was destroyed ; the finances at a low ebb; the citizens, for over three months, fed at ration houses, contribut? ed by tho State, and our neighbors of Georgia; in fact, we were reduced to pauperism; but thanks to Him who rules the destiny of men ns well as nations, for planting in tho hearts of those of our citizens who survived tho tried ordeal through which they had to pass, a deter? mined spirit, joined with manly energy, resolving in their minds to rebuild and recuperate this our fuir city; and, Mr. President, considering tho disadvantages under which they labored, tboy have per? formed wonders; our streets have put on something of a business aspect; and time nnd opportunity is nil that is required to placo our Capitol where was her wont, as ? fuir and beautiful as any in the land. Our I citizens' cnorgy has been exemplified in erecting this building and laying out these grounds. Tho Fair was folked of at a late day, and tho citizens called upon thc City Council to take tho matter in hand, and they did. Tho only excuse, gentleme.n, we have to offer for tho uu linished state of tho building, is a want of means-time and means-two very important levers to work with. Such as they aro, you aro welcome, thrice wel? come; and may tho undertaking in which you are engaged be crowned with that succoss to which you are justly entitled, and may it provo tho harbinger o?a glo? rious future. General Hagood, President of the So? ciety, replied as follow?: Mn. MAYOR: It is with great saUsfution and something of surprise, that I receive at your hands the very handsomo con? tribution which Columbia has made to onr great Stato enterprise. I say sur? prise, for, sir, I have been familiar with effort in the last four years, and T know tho difficulty with wbioh anything is now accomplished, with our crippled re? sources. The grounds you present us with are ample for our purposes, and more, thnn wo expected. Something has been said before this of making tho State Fairs movable from plnco to place; but Columbia has nailed tho fact to tho counter, and nothing will be heard in tho futuro of South Carolina State Fairs anywhere but where this is held. I hope, sir, that you and I will both see tho day when our State Fairs will rival their pre? decessors in completeness, and Columbia will be tho Columbia of former days. We feel it but right to add, that much credit is duo to the City Council for their efficient and liborul course in this matter. In a short time, and with limited means, they have erected a handsomo and com? modious building; have put up the stalls needed, and placed the grouuds in an ex? cellent condition. We doubt not that tho investment will provo an ndmianble one to the city. .1 el STATE MONUMENTAL ASSOCIATION.-A meeting will be held this (Tuesday) oven - ing*. at. JHickeraon.

The window strips and sashes uro of walnut; blinds aud panel work over windows, ash; the seats, arms ?ind back mouldings nre of walnut; each cushion hus a number of springs, which makes it particularly comfortable.
