A now counterfeit of tho latest issue of the fifty cent currency has made its ap? pearance., whiob, although tho engraving is of a coarser character, and tho fino lathe work wanting, though imitated coarsely; yet it is well calculated to de? ceive. The red and blue fibres in tho paper of the gannino are imitated by printing in the counterfeit, tho long beard of Secretary Stanton is darker, and the figures "50" on the right hand are surrounded by solid black, instead of fine lines, os in the genuine. On the re? verse the counterfeit may bo distinguish? ed by tho "s" in customs failing to touch the line encircling tho largo oval to thc next, and also by the abscuco of the shading and the fine lines around the *'50" in tho corners. - fleeting of the State Agricultural ami Mechanical Society. 'COLUMDIA, S. C., November 9, 1870. The Sooioty was called to order at 1% .o'clock. The President delivered an in? teresting address, which was ordered to be published. The Secretary and Trea? surer's report of receipts and expendi? tures was read, received as information, and laid upon the table. The Executive Committee, through Colonel Palmer, submitted a report, sug? gesting how the Society might be placed upon a more secure financial basis. Thc report was adopted. The ohair then called for reports of standiug committees. Dr. J. H. Fin man, chairman, read a report on "Ma? nures, Domestic and Foreign," which was ordered to be published. Upon motion, the remaining reports were called for, and ordered to be pub? lished without reading. Col. Aiken spoke of the importance of placing tho finances of tho Society upon a more certain basis, and urged upon members the duty of sustaining tho in? stitution.

" - Mrs. So journer Troth, a venerable colored wo? man, who has been heard before, ga ve her testimony the other day, in Provi? dence, against the flummery and folly of "feminine vestments," nnd specially did she rebnko "tho women on the stago at the Women's Suffrage Convention." Hark to her: "When I saw them women on the stage nt the Women's Suffrage Convention, the other day, I thought what kind of re? formers be you, with goose-wings on your heads, as if you were going to fly, and dressed in such ridiculous fashion, talking about reform and women's rights? 'Pears to me you had better reform your? selves first." ?Just beforo this Mrs. Sojourner had freed her mind respecting "paniers and Grecian bend-backs, high-heeled shoes, and humps on thc head."
