.^OKAYUA TI ) -A K Jl cl T - " ?.HM) .! .'.I. 1 TOLTJjVtBIAv S. C. Friday Morning, November 12.1869. --rr. , .> ?. .. - ' z Carnage* l?Pra^tc ?n? America. The London Telegraph th in ko that if | there bad beor* a Fron?h Bip Van Winkle, who bad falleM asleep jnBt ten years ago, hali tue iimo(!of our old friend of the Catskill monnUi0B, he would have stared ?with astonish m en t at the extraordinary j political revolution which had passed sr tho capital of the second empire. iii? he would find the sanie sovereign, . same laws' ostensibly in force, tho lo.red? trousered warriors nuder arms, ho would bo quite bewildered by tho Wholesale chango in the circumstances of tho Parisian press. Ten years ago tho journals o? France were gagged and handcuffed; to-day they are not so much onjoyiog liberty aa rioting in a saturnalia of dissolute license.. Mnoh as has been truly said of the want of dignity and) decorum of our own party press in times of high political excitement, it mast be confessed, to its credit, that it bas never, asa general thing, made such use of its freedom oath o minor journals of France, the tone of which is justly characterized by the Telegraph as tending "more to? wards libel than, towards treason, and is | rather scurrilous Utan revolutionary. Gross, spiteful, mendacious personal abase of the chief of the State, his family and bis friends, forms the daily pabulum of la petite presse, and Bee m s most agreeable to the readers of each prints. The filthiness of Rabelais, with? out his humor; the oynocism of Voltaire without his wit; the vehemence of Rous? seau, without his clear and logical com? mon sense; the petty particularity of Mercier, without his shrewdness-these seem to be the most prominent charac? teristics of the papers which lately gloated over the details of tho Empe? ror's illness? and whioh rarely omit in their diurnal issue, some on trage, overt J or oovert, upon the Empress or the Prince Imperial.1' Such personalities are a disgrace to any press or people who tolerate them. They are attempted from time to time in this country, but it is | creditable to the people that they do not generally find favor here. Although this kind of assault was in full blast in France np to the eve of the 2Cth of Oc? tober, on which a revolutionary demon? stration was anticipated, the Government exhibited the most entire indifference to what was said by the journalists, and the dreaded 2Gth passed off os quietly as a May morning. The equanimity with which the Emperor bears these attacks wonld seem to continue, for the cable telegram of November 5th, mentioned that Rochefort, editor of tho Lanterne, the most indecently vituperative of all journals, having been arrested on his re? turn from Brussels to Paris, was subse? quently released by order of thc Emperor. Tho mention by tho Telegraph of what a French Rip Van Winkle would think, if he could awaken in Paris after a ten year.,' sleep, to observe the progress of free discussion, suggests what our Ame? rican Rip Van Winkle might think, if he could awukon after a ten years' sleep, and behold the extraordinary revolution which, in matters political, has passed over this country. We need not, says the Baltimore Sun, particularize tho changes between now and then, for they will occur to every mind. Suffico it to say that they are not only many, but fundatncutul, and afford moro room for wonder, if not for hope, than any which are occurring iu France, or than even the Rip Van Wiukle of Washington Ir? ving beheld when he carno down from his twenty years' slumber in the Catskill Mouutain8. The ancient Rip bad at least the satisfaction of beholding political progross; the modern one would see a retrogrado movement to ideas and prac? tices, like taxation without representa? tion, whioh Great Britain wits righting to enforce and the colonists fighting to re? sist, whilst Rip Van Winkle was playing nine-pins with the ghost of Hendrick Hudson and his companions. A botter play might be written on this basis, and embraeing more striking points of con? trast than that which Jefferson's acting has made so popular. We are afraid that' if an American Rip Van Winkle, who had gone to sleep when the Constitution of the United States was sacred in all eyes, when civil and political rights of all were secured, when fraternal concord and universal prosperity blessed the land, and national tax-gatherers were unknown, could bo roused to behold the chango in all these respects, and many more, ho would exclaim with the shade of Samuel, when summoned from his reposo by the witch of Endor, "Why hast thou dis? quieted me to call me up Y and ask to be permitted to go to sleep again, and not to be awakened till the sky was bright and brightening. The trial of cotton gins, at tho fair, will take place this morning, nt 10 o'clock. 0 v. M. All the books in the hands of the diffe? rent committees, with. ? their reports, must be handed in bj S A. M., at the Secretary's office At 10 A. M.,'the trotting and pacing match aa ?rill ?oma off, for whioh tba citi? zens offer tho. following, in conjunction with tho Society's premiums, for same class of horses-to be competed for over the Association Course, betw?on the hours of 10 and ll A. M.: $15 to the fastest South Carolina raised trotter; $15 to the fastest trotting stallion, open to the world; $15 to the fastest trotting horse, opeu to the world. At ll A. M., the horses, by classes, will be exhibited in the Amphith??tre, and the badges affixed to tho fortunate competitors. After tho exhibition of horses, an auc? tioneer will be ou tho ground for the purpose of selling stock aud other arti? cles entered for sale. At 1 P. M., tho premiums will be awarded, from the Judges' Stand, in the Amphitheatre; after which exhibitors will be expected to remove their articles from the Exhibition Hall as expeditious? ly as possible. D. WYATT AIKEN, Sec'y. P. S. Messrs. W. B. Stanley, T. C. Gower and B. F. Evans, are appointed a Committee on Sculpture and Painting, the former appointees having declined to serve, being exhibitors in that Depart? ment. The above committee will meet at 9 o'clock, at thc Secretary's office. Messrs. W. G. Hinson and J. T. Dill, of Charleston, and J. M. Blakely, of Co? lumbia, are requested to report at the Secretary's office, at 9 o'clock, to decide the contest between tho competitors for the premium offered by the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. The Society meets to-night, at 7 o'clock. Fran.-A Browns discovered, about ll o'clock last night, in the grocery store of Messrs. H. Klatte & Co., corner Lodge Alloy and East Bay. There hav? ing been some delny in the arrival of the engines, the store was soon wrapt in flames, and before any impression could bo made upon the ?re the entire building bad fallen a prey to the devouring ele? ment. The flames soon spread to the i wholesale grocery store adjoining, occu? pied by Mr. J. N. M. Wohltmann, who was niau burned out. The building next North, owned and occupiod as a whole? sale grocery store by Mr. Bernard O'Neill, had been pretty well emptied of its contents, before the fire did much damage to it. The entire loss cannot have been much short of $50,000 ; and the insurance, wo believe, will fall far below this amount. - Charleston Courin', 11th.

Among the plantera of thia State, there ii, perhaps, no better known, or more widely nsed fertilizer than tho Soluble Pacific Guauo. The agent of the com? pany, Mr. J. N. Robson, who is iu tho city, has ou exhibition at tho Stato Fair a specimen of fertilizer which, doubtless, will in time come into very general use. We allude to the compound acid of phos? phate of lime, which tho Pacific Guauo Company havo made, and which is to be composted with cotton seed before being used. Upon an analysis, its ingredients aro found to be the samo as those of the Solublo Pacific Guano, savo the ammonia -the place of which is supplied with cotton seed. The advantages tlingit offers over other fertilizers is, that while it hus as effective qualities, it can be purchased at $10.00 less per ton. Every planter hus at the end of the season a large quantity of cotton seed, which can be made valuable to him, while ho saves $10.00 per ton upon his guano. SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE CAPITAL.-It is a cheoring sight to seo Columbia at this time. At this moment, Colombia is filled with a crowd of visitors, who have come to attend the Fair. Wo have the men and tho women of South Carolina -the sons and tho daughters of tho soil. Wo havo the intelligent, solid and sub? stantial men of tho farms, thu factories and the workshops. And we ore glad to note the indications of a bold, earnest, hopeful, working spirit. Tho works of peaceful industry are exercising their be? neficent influence. Tho energies of our people have been brought into play and are bearing their frnit, and in spite of a hostile Executive and a sympathetic le? gislativo majority, that olass oalled "thc rebel class" in South Carolina, have taken up with faith, hope and energy, tho industrial role, and intend to press il steadily and persistently. As Gen. Ha good, in his eloquent address, suggests "While with reverent loyalty we bury th? dead past, we now accept the inevitable present, and stand ready to grapple witt its difficulties." THE STATE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHA NICAL SOCIETY-SECOND NIGHT.-Th? Society met pursuant to adjournment j Various reports wero made. For th? '? year 1870, the Executive Committee wen j authorized to expend $10,000. A pro I position to change the place of meetinj j of the next Fair, was laid on thc table j Tho generous and public-spirited conrsi I of tho city wa3 appreciated, mid it wn doubtless tho general opiuion that tin was tho proper place for tho second u well as tho first of our revived Fairs The following officers were electrtl fo tho ensuing year: Johuson Hagood, Pro aident; Dr. A.

Tho day waa pleasant, additional articles appeared,' and the crowd wno about twioo aa large. The receipt? at the gate was over 81,200. Tho Committees were at work makiug their examinations, and the Fair, os before, closed in order. Wo aro pleased to learn from the hard-work? ing nnd efficient Secretary tba*,-in a pe? cuniary point of view, the Fair is a suc? cess, as the Treasury, after paying all expenses, will have a cash balance. The opinion was everywhere expressed, that the Fair had far exceeded public expec? tation, and that next year the Fair would be, in overy respect, fifty per cent, bet? ter-good as this has been. To-day is the last day, and it will perhaps be the most attractive of the three. A trotting race, a tournament, the awarding of the prizes, are among the features of to-day's exhibition. Let the attendance be large. On yesterday Mr. Tozer had bis beauti? ful portable engine in motion. Mr. Palmer showed again the oobking quali? ties of bis "Cotton Plant" cooky ig stove. Tho plows were teated, and mady Co? lumbians were found represented in ar? ticles on exhibition. Among the cotton Sresses, we noticed these represented by lessrs. Goldsmith & Kind. Messrs. Shields & Glaze, Mr. Simpson, bf Chea? ter, and Mr. Davis, of Fairfield. We were struck with the extreme simplicity, economy and seeming durability of the Davis Press, invented and recently pa? tented by Mr. J. K. Davis, of Monti? cello, S. C. Mr. Davis is a practical nnd very successful farmer himself, and know? ing many of the inconveniences and dis? advantages attending the packing of cotton on the old-fashioned and cum? bersome wooden screw, has, in the con? struction of his press, brought together a combination of advantages which we think highly commendable, and must prove acceptable to the farming interest. His press is designed to be worked in the lint-room, or adjacent thereto, conse? quently saving the labor of carrying the lint out, and guarding against any loss of tho same from the wind, occidental dropping on the ground, Ac. Its pe? culiar construction, two-thirds of the whole structure being let down through the liut-rooih floor, thereby bringing the mouth of the aottau-box within three feet of the uume, makes it certainly a great economizer of time and labor in getting the lint in the box, besides being entirely within doors, can be success? fully worked in any kind of weather. The motive power of his press consists in two vertical screws 2?? inches in di? ameter, with tho addition of anti-friction balls, and is worked with 2}.J feet levors, formiug tho bale at the top ot the box, and on a level with the lint-room floor. Mr. Davis made an apology to us for Homo imperfections in the workmanship, .vc. of the press on exhibition, it being the first and only ono over made on the plan, and jocularly remarked, he neither lind a 2.40 nor a 3 mi nu te nag, but would tuko a ten mile race with any press on thc hill. WEDDING CARDS AND ENVELO PBS,-A lot of wedding cards and envelopes, of latest styles, hus just been received ; which will bo printed in imitation of en? graving, and nt lesa than one-tenth the cost. Call und see specimens at PHONTX office. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.-Attention ia called to the following advertisements, published the first time this morning: Hinkloy's Fdmily Knitting Machine. E. E.

Many persons believe that there is no value in anything that does not come from "the North." How humiliating? However, this impression is being gra? dually corrected. It is now admitted that no remedial agents has ever been discovered, North or South, that pos? sesses, in so eminent a degree, the power of eradicating from the system ali foul distemper, as DR. TUTT'S SARSAPARILLA AND QOEEN'S DEiiiarrr. Tho secret ia, it assists nature to do this through its own channels.
