COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, November 16, 1869. Strikte V/iilUt tit? Iron I? Hot-The Wor? ?ter ttl? Fulnre-Tht St?ta Agricultu? ral ?md BIcctinnlcnl Society. . The success of ibo industrial move? ment for 1869, which culminated in tbe Ute Fair, WM far beyond tho expects tiooa of its moat sanguine friends. Tbe exhibition of ortiolea nod of stock, was moat respectable, and, under nil the cir? cumstances of the oase, considering that tho premium list came out Vdt two or three months ago, the result Was most oroditablo to the State. But there was ample room for improvement.' -Lot hil oonoerned now r?solve that the improve? ment shall be illustrated in tho next Fair. The management of the next Fair, and the exhibition of articles, will be based upon the experience of this year. Let the farmers, the manufacturers, the me? chanics of the State-let our patriotic women, in tho country, in the villages, in tho towna, in the cities-oven now begin to prepare.for the Fair of 1870. We oro aware that some who competed this year, and failed to get premiums, in a spirit of chagrin and disappointment, are dis? posed to drop, away 'and compete no longer. Bat let this feeling dio away. Doubtless, some who got premiums do not deserve them. Doubtless some who deserve premiums failed to obtain them. This will always occur, whero numerous sub-committees havo to make the exami? nations. . Of ooaree, by unreasonable persons, the Executive Committee are held responsible for all the mistakes and errors made.. But reasonable persons will see at o nco that all awards have to bo made npon tho report of the difierent committees; and sensible people will farther feel that, after all, the matter of a premium is a Bmall ono. The great object in view is the development of thc resources of our common mother State, and potty, in this connection, is the matter of a premiam. Of course, it is the duty of the mauagers of the Fair tc appoint such committees as will fairly and correctly decide upon the merits ol artioles in their respective departments. This they have done, and, no doubt, wil hereafter do, as far as they can. Thii done, their shoulders will be foun 1 broat enough to bear all the responsibility tba may be cast upon them. We have now to add a few words t< this artiole upon another point. By do mestio foes, and by some of the politics adventurers who live by politics in om midst, this Fair movement is discourage?: and sneered at. According to their view or pretended view, there is an indefinit) sort of danger iu tho thing. It is no loyal. Some treason lurks in it. It i "aristocratical." It is everything bu what it- really is. These parties feel to wards it as some one did with regard t< Dr. Fell: "I db not like yon, Dr. Koli, The reason why I cannot tell; But this I know, and know full woll. I do not like you, Dr. Foll " Now we will tell these parties this: Tb South Carolina Agricultural and Me ohanical Society has for its object th development of the general resources o the State. It seeks to make South Caro Hun, prosperous, and to carry its beneficen influence to the humblest Lome. It seeks once every year, to bring together at th Capital, the meo and the women of Soutl Carolina. It brings them into no part; arena; but upon the broad field of peace ful industry, it assembles the representa tives of the snbstauco and the intolli genoe of the State. And wo will sn; further, that the Society intends to mov etoadily on. It asks no favor of tbn regime which nqw rules in South Care lino,to tho detriment of thc best interest alike of the whito and colored popul.i tion. At the same time, it makes n war, as a society, npon that regime. ] simply demands to be let alone. An further, it is now a fixed institution growing, self-reliant power, based upo money and mind. We urged that th Sooiety should be firmly established. I its spirit and in its notion, the Societ responded to our suggestion, which wt doubtless its own feeling. At tho lui F*ir, after paying all expenses, o vc $2,0QJ remained ia tho treasury. Th Executive Committee havo boon antin rized to issue a premium list to the e: tent of $10,000; und at the last meetin of the Society, ?u a few minutes, amid generous excitement, a guarantee fun of over $8,000 was subscribed by tl solid farmers and mechanics und otho: who happened to bo present. This sui of $3,000 could readily bo increased 1 $50,000. Bat this is not necessary. Tl Executive Committee, with suoh backti as they now have, will go on and mal the effort to havo, iu 1870, a grand F a i worthy of the cause. With these r marks, we commit tho matter to tl people of South Carolina-those wi called this Fair into existence; let the now go on with it year aftor year, un a prosperous Stato attests the glory ai tho power of this industrial movement. . . ? ;. 1 I The death ?f Apos^KendaB. ono cf Gebsral Jaelr^ou*. ? 0?rjinet mto?staxa, ? theweak?Dg^|>f anjojfhex \\ol? t&at bound the present to the past.

A COM IIINATION BAIL.-A rail of this character, the invention of General .Su? perintendent H. T. Peake, of tho South Carolina Railroad, and on exhibition at the Fair, in Columbia, is thus spoken of in the Charleston Newt : "Tho new rail invented by Mr. H. T. Peake, the General Superintendont of tho South Carolina Railroad, which takes the gold medal, combines all the advan tsges of the steel and tho iron rail. As is well k nov ii, a steel rail is too brittle to bear the pounding of heavy trains mo? oing ut high speed. The iron rail is not hard enough and wears out rapidly. And the steel-faced rail, on account of the un? equal expansion and contraction of face und body, coon becomos unserviceable, the face peeling off. The Peake rail has nil the softness and toughness of the iron and nil the hardness of the steel. It is mado in two parts. Tho lower part, or the bed, is mado of iron and is spiked to the bed in the usnal way. Into this bed fits a oap of steel, which is secured by bolts passing through the bed. This cup or head is hurd onough to bear tho hea? viest travel, while the elasticity of the bed makes breakage virtually impossible. Nor is tbero any loss of spikes in chang? ing tho head of tho rail. The bed will scarcely wear at nil, and, when tho ties are good, the bolts are unscrewed, a new I head is slipped in tho bod, tho bolts are mado fast, and spikes, bod and ties are not in any way disturbed. Mr. Peako has already applied for n patent for I what promises to be a very useful in? vention." - A PEOPLE'S MONUMENT TO MR. PEA HOD V.-A gentleman of Now York pro I poses to ono of tho papers of that city j that a monument be built in Centrul Park to the memory of Georgo Peabody, and suggests that no contribution greater than one dollar shall bo accepted from a siugle source, in order that all may have an opportunity to contribute, and that the proposed monument may bo a truly popular aud national offering. Thc iden is an eminently proper one, and the plau seems feasible, but the fate of tho Wash? ington national monument enterprise is not calculated to iuspiro auy very grout amount of hopefulness. FIRE IN SUMTER COUNTY.-Last Friday, tho gin house of Dr. E. M. Gregg, iu Upper Salem, seven miles from Maya ville, was burnt, with seven bales of seed cotton aud 400 pounds of cotton seed. The cotton belonged to Capt. H. D Cor bitt, Mr. Johnson and somo freedmeu, and was uninsured. The fire was caused by a match or gun cap riu tho cotton, thon beiug ginnod. Tho freedmen worked nobly, saving all the surround? ing buildings, which, from tho intense bent and tho violence of tho wind, were for some time iu imminent danger." [Chm lestun New*. The Allentown (Pa.)

PANAMA, November 8 -Your readers will remember tho Story e?noerniog $10, 000,000 in silver buried on tho Cocos Island, which waa started io Sen F#**n oisoo ten years ago, and has been proba? bly publish ed in every country newspa? per in the United States. The tale was, that a doctor in San Francisco waa one night called to the bed-side of a sick and poverty-stricken sailor. The doctor watched over him carefully, and made and paid for all his own prescriptions. In spite of all his precautious, tho sailor grew worse, and at last the doctor told him ho must die. The mau wus deeply affected, and wept bitterly. Death carno over him slowly but surely. Ou his dying bed, with tears in his eyes, bo thanked tho doctor for all his kindness, and suid that ho could and would repay him for ail his trouble. In a few short breaths, he told him that in his younger days bo had been a pirate. With twenty companions, he hud shipped at Callao, on a Spanish treasuro ship, bound to Cadiz. When five days ont, they roso and butchered tho officers and passengers, after which, the course of tho ship was changed duo West. Three weeks afterwards, during a drnnkuu ca? rousal, tho ship rau upon a reef of rocks, fringing nu island in the Pacific, and be? fore morning, eight of tho buccaneers were drowned. At tho break of day, they reached Jho shore in bouts, and found tho island fes tilo und pleasaut. After three days' hurd work, they brought the kegs of silver dollars to tho shore and buried them. The treasure nruouuted to over$10,000.000. As water waa scarce and the provisions on the wreck wert totally damaged, the twelve pirates took to their boats and steered for tho coast of South America. No? thing was ever heard from one of thc bouts, and it was probably swamped in a great storm which occurred three days after they had left the island. Tho pro? visions in tho other boat soon gave out, lind tho men gradually became delirious for want of sustenance. Two jumped overboard and wei o drowned. One of their companions died in tho boat, and a fourth was killed by his comrudes, who drank his blood. After drifting under a burning sun for two weeks, the survivors were picked up by a passing vessel. Oue of them died on the following day, and tho other lived to tel! the story tc hundreds of incredulous listeners, and tc seek in vuiu for the means to return to tho island. Ile was now about to end a lifo of disappointment in death. At the conclusion of hiss ory the dyiug sailot drew from under his bolster a roll of pa? pers giving the latitude and longitude ol the island us nour us possible, and handed thom to the doctor; but before tho phy? sician could examino them tho old sailoi died. The mutiny occurred just during tho Peruvian revolution against Spain, and the sailor died in San Francisco semi, thirtceu years ago. A careful study ol tho chart located the island in the vi? cinity of Cocos. The doctor embarked in the scheme with ull his wealth, rigged out a schooner and sailed from San Fran cisco in search of the El Dorado. Ht returned a ruined mau, unable to disco ver tho island. Other expeditious wen titted out, but none wore successful. In July, 18(58, several gentlemen it this city bought a schooner and fitted out au expedition. There wero twenty six persons in the party. Tho most ol tho pat ty were old Californians, aud wen used to a life of adventure. Among tin party was ono George Cummins, a mai of large experience, who iiad accompa nied one of tho previous expeditions They reached tho isluud after fifty-si: days' navigation, thoroughly worn on aud disgusted. They spent uiueteei days there vainly looking for tho hiddei riches, aud then gave up the hunt as en tirely Utopian. Setting sail nguiu fo Panama, they finally brought up in L Uniou, whence Cummins carno to thi city with uews of their blasted hopes. It wuB thought the failure of this expe? dition would put an end to all attempt to rocover tho specie. This was not th case. Lust winter, some of the stipci stitious aud wealthy citizens of Cost [tica begun to agitate tho subject anew A company was organized, composed r some of tho prominent Government ol flcials. Tho matter was brought befor the Costa Rican Congress, and after ii investigation, they authorized tho pui chase of several shares of tho stock o Government accouut. A large majorit of the members of tho new expeditio were soldiers, probably sent to look af tt tho interest of the Government. A priei was sent ulong to look after their spiriti al welfare. They left Costa Rica in Jun lust. Nothing has been heard of then until yesterday, when a letter was receii ed from ono of tho party by a frieud i this city, containing intelligence of tb discovery of tho treasuro. Tho lette states that all thc treasure has not as yt been obtuincd, and therefore no estimai of its value can bo givon. Tho greati part of that which has already been du ont, is in silver, tho most of it in Sp. nish dollars. Tho burning of the sugar crop in Cub as proposed by C?spedes, in order l keep the Spaniards from usiug it, wi cost tho United States, neenrding to Ci ban estimates, from $50,000,000 I 800,000,000 in customs revenue and ii como from commercial transactions.

THB ?ouTH CAHO?JNA CLUB. -From an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that a number of young men from the several portions of tba State, have organized a social club, to bo colled "the South Carolina Club." They pro poso having an annual ball, to be given during Fair week. They have elected a President, Vice-president, a Secretary aud a Treasurer, and have duly orga? nized. It thus appears that Fair week is to have this social attraction, aud that devotion is to bo rendered, during that week, to Terpsichore, as well as to Ceres. This institution will doubtless attract visitors to our city during the Fair. As tho young wilt have and must have their amusements, wo do not know thut such a purpose could be botter subserved than by BUCh a meeting as tho club pro? pose to bring about. It will bring to? gether from all parts of tho Stato a por? tion of the jouMi of both sexes, and this must result iu social influences of a pleasant and reliuing character. It lins been said, play after work. After a year of hard work, a young man is well en? titled to the pleasant emotions and the agreeable associations that uro within the sphere of the proposed club. lu a bu? siness point of view, we regard tho club as o good adjunct, to tho Fair. At the Fair, wo observed with pleasure tho handsome exhibitions made by many of our citizens. Air. Edward Hope con? tributed some beautiful engravings. Messrs. Hopson .t Sutphen, a beautiful display of articles in their line, contained in a fino show case. Capt. W. W. Stanley made a cotribu tiou of solid silver aud of works of art, which added much to tho beauty of thi exhibition. A series of Prof. Reynolds' Pictoria Headers was exhibited. They are muon; tho publications of Messrs. Duffie <5 Chapman, of this city. They attracted much interest, and deservedly so, fo: they ore home productions and represen nativo literature and native enterprise We trust that these readers may b< adopted exteusively. They stand upoi their solid merits. Mr. Isaac Sulzbacher, jeweler, of thi. city, was public spirited enough to offer at the late Fair, for distribution by tin Executive Committer, a handsome silve: cup. We are glad to note this evidenci of Mr. Sulzbachcr's identification witl the interests of our city and our State The cup was awarded as requested. Mr. E. R. Stokes, of this city, has ai excellent bindery here. At the late Fair he showed specimens of his work, whicl wero excellent in character and deserviu, of public recognition.
