.. -.,Tr 9M9}*m Vmi?k. ' : All through, the 'country, from the lakes t? tbs gal f, a ?d frot? the Atlas tio fco the Pacific, Agrioaltaral and Meebani oal Fairs are the order Of the day. They are institutions in ibis laud. A few ge? neral observations on thia subject VT i ll, Uio?eipre, be. deemed appropriate. In the r?ftt placer,' we' take ii that these State Fair*sjgring iron? the laudable desire to dsrrAbl* the material resource* bl a State. Disconnected from party politics, they arasdottbUess tbe offspring of that com lltaBdabtS spirit which leads mon to im? prove their own snbstanoe and thus aug? ment the BUDStanoo of th? State. In the second ?pisos,' as to tho mode of operating these Fairs, wa ?re satisfied that the ma? nagement should be in the hands of effi? cient business men-mostly practical agriculturists and mechanics, with A mix? ture ot other employments. And we further holdt that the Fairs should bo made not only self-sustaining, but a source of profit-which profit should go to the improvement of the grounds and the development of the scheme of the sf an. '? tn the third place, as to the effect of these Fairs, all will concedo at ence that they are highly useful. They oxoite a spirit of generous rivalry. They lead to improved agricultural implomen ts; to improved stock; to better farming; to broader views; to scientific researches; .to new fertilizers, and to a better agri? cultural and mechanical system in gene? ral. \ Nor are the moral results unimpor? tant. These annual gatherings bring our people together, and tend to bring about that community of thoughf, feelings and actions, which 'goes to make np State pride and State strength and popular mo- ; montura. Such are the considerations which invest with interest and impor? tance the Fair now in oar midst. Let ns hope that it will bo fully sustaiued, and made to fulfill its high mission. This mission is to carry South Cnroliuu for . ward to un era of solid prosperity. This mission is to develop all our resources of fertile soil nnd running streams aud wooden and mineral wealth. Let the good work go on. Let it enlist the ef? forts and the sympathies of our mea and women, and when tho next Fair shall come round, let it bo shown prominently to the world that South Carolina has . taken np the industrial banner and in? tends to carry it steadily forward. Thc np-rooted palmetto of the State must be planted ogaio, and the efforts of our peo? ple must start it into n new and vigorous growth. Tb? Censas of Nine Coanttci. "Corsair," tho ccrrespoudeut of the Charleston News, shows some facts of interest in connectiou with the census returns in this Stato. It appears that Anderson has 14,286 whites uud 8,587 colored; Chesterfield, 8,352 whites, 4,480 colored;Darlington, 8,432 whites, 11,929 colored; Horry, 5,561 whites, 2,398 colored; Lancaster, 6,054 whites, 5,743 colored; Marlboro, 5,373 whites, 7,061 colored; Sonater, 6,857 whites, 16,992 colored; Spsrtanbnrg, 18,537 whiles, 8,882 &>ft>Ted;W?lliamsbnvg 5,187 whites, 10,802 colored. Ia Aaderson, Darling . tou, Horry and Williamsburg, there has beeu an increase, since I860, of tho aggregate population. In the others thoto has been a decrease. So that in the nine Counties above named there has been, since 1860, '? deoreaso of 1,941 .colored, and an iuciea.se of twenty-two whites. When the full rot urns come in, it will bo interesitjog to note the indica? tions. Tnfc VmoiNiA STATE FAIR.-We are glad to learn that the Virginia Agricultu? ral Fuir was a groat success. The. old Virgioia spirit reappeared ou the field, und the "Old Dominion" showed that she intends to bc as great iu peace us she was good in war. We aro gratified to find that our sister State has entered so au? spiciously upon tho present field of effi? cient operations. Let every Southern State go bravely to work to develop ?ts resources. Let eaoh Stato acquire wealth, and political power will bo found tho lo? gical result of material strcugth. --.-??-?-. Goon USE ron OLD CASTLES.-The ?aerease of crime ia Prussia is such that there is no moro room ia the prisons, and the government bas been obliged to secare some old castles in which to ac? commodate the surplus prisoners. Al? though tho fact does not provo much iu favor of the homo policy of Count Bis? marck, still it is turning tho old estab? lishments to good account. Tho spirits of the old barons of the middle ages will /doubtless be indignant at tho idea of being thrown into tho company of cnl '-.prits who have passed the ordeal of a modern police court. -- - - Near Masou City, Illinois, ono day last week, Biluad Bichmond was waifing np u well, whoa a briok fell from a bucket that was being let down to him, and struck him on tho head, nod ho, falling to the bottom of tho well, forty-fivo feet, was instantly killed.

Mosers. Blnok Sc Osagbman, at Leesville, on th? Columbia, and Augusta Railroad. Oh the night of the 8th instant, at half-past II o'clock, the members of the firm ol J. S. Derrick Sc Go. and the family of Mr.. D. C. Bhenlj were aroused from their sleep by the distressing cry of fire. All parties repaired to the scene of the conflagration. Finding that the depot was in danger by the fulling sparks, Mr. John T. Dent- had a ladder placed against it, whon somo colored men as? cended to the roof, thereby saving it from destraotion. We cannot conjecture, the origin of the fire. Mr. Block's state? ment is as follow? : I occupy a small house- in the yard as my kitchen and sleeping apartment. About half-post ll o'clock, I was aroused from my sleep by a noise in the front part of the store, as the fulling of articles from the shelves, Thinking that some one was trying to force an entrance, I got up immediately, and TTitli my gun Vf aiken to th? ntr?ro which was 'bot a few steps, when I dis? covered smoke issuing irom every cre? vice. I immediately gavo the alarm. In a few minutes, an explosion took place, lifting the roof of the store, when every? thing was wrapped in fiamos. Tho loss is estimated at $8,000-unin? sured. It in a sad casualty, and a heavy loss, both to the owners and to Leesville, which is considered by the traveling public to be tho prettiest station on the road. JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY.

Bryan & Mc Carter. These two volumes close the labors of tho old court of Sooth Caro? lina. For the half of a century, the de? cisions of this court have ranked high in the estimation of (he beat lawyers of the country. The names of DeSausaure and Nott, Johnston and Harper, the Ward? laws and O'Neal, Dunkin and others, have ranked with the Kents and Story, the Spencers and other Northern jurists. Tho decisions embodied in the volumes of the South Carolina Reports are of high anthority everywhere, and are sought for in the North and West, as well as io the South, and of late orders have been received by the publishers evoo from England and California. It is a matter of great moment to the bar of South Carolina that many hundred volumes of these valuable Reports (from the year 1788) were saved from the flames on tho night of the memorable 17th of February, when BO many valuable libra? ries, both public aud private, were de? stroyed. Theao two last volumes will complete the reporting labors of J. S. G. Richardson, Esq., who for fifteen years baa filled the office of reporter with rare fidelity and ability. Let us hope that the mantle, both of judges and re? porter, will fall upon their successors. Messrs. Duffie <fc Chapman have fur? nished us a pamphlet copy of "The His? tory of Pendennis-his Fortunes aud Misfortunes, his Friends and his great? est Enemy." by Wm. Makepeace Thack? eray. Tho work is profns?ly illustrated. Price 75 cents. Harper ii Bro., New York, are tho publishers. Messrs. Bryan & McCaTtor and Duffie k Chapman have each supplied us with copies of "A Beggar on Horseback," by the author of "Found Dead." New York: Harper Ar Brothers. It is an over? strained and nutiatnral picture of a county family in England severnl years ago, and consists chiefly of a string of heterogeneous and improbable incidents jumbled together in most inharmonious confusion. In spite of tho long list of the author's books quoted on tho title page, wo cannot but think that he lins decidedly mistaken his vocation. Of course, opinions differ, nnd some readers1 may be gratified with the plot of tho Btory. A new series of school-books has just been issued by Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Co., of New York. They consist of Davies' Practical Arithmetic; Tho Na? tional Second Reader ; and Monteith's Physical and Intermed?ate Geography. Many valuable improvements have been introduced. Tho character of 'these books is too well established to require . extended eulogy or explanation. 1 Suffice ! it to say, that they have been so tho? roughly tested, and so carefully revised and improved from time to time ; their illustrations aro so appropriate, their system of gradation is so perfect, that the unanimous voico of thousands of teachers, directors, and city, County and State Boards of Education, have bceu enst in their favor; while their wonder? ful salo during less than eight years oi average circulation-amounting to seve? ral million volumes-sufficiently attest that the American people know how tc appreciate good school-books.
