C OLUMftR S. C. Tueslay horning;, November 7.1871. Electing ot the Slate Agricultural and mechanical Society. This body will meet thia evening, at half ?past 7 o'clock, at Irwin's Hall, oppo? site the Colombia Hotel. As we have before said, we hope that the meeting will be large add earnest, as business of great imp?rtanos will oome up. The President of the sooiety, Con. Hsgood, will deliver his annual address. As our readers are aware, we have ever, in sea? son and* ont of season, magnified this enterprise of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society.- After the late war, it beoame evident that the grand rolo of South Carolina was- industrial develop? ment. The State was ber ft of much of her wealth; her bapkiog capital was gone; her credit was at a low ebb; her labor was' disorganized. The State was left, after the storm of war and fire, w;eak and poor. But she was not en? tirely shorn cf strength. There were left tons a brave, hopeful, energetic po? pulation, a genial climate, a productive soil, and vast resources of fields and forests, of wood and iron and water power. Material development, the ap? plication of soience to agriculture and mechanical pursuits, therefore, became the great desideratum. Thoughtful, sa? gacious and undaunted men saw this, and, to give point to this great idea, wo banded together and formed the present State Agricultural and Mechanical Sooie? ty. It has been doing its work for three years. It has labored under great disad? vantages. It has done muoh good. It may, however, be made to do a larger and better work, yet. We meet to-night to oompare notes and see how the old State can be further benefited. Our politics to-night will be the honor and prosperity of South Carolina. We must consider what shall be done to. botter the work upon which we have started. It is thought by many members of the sooiety, that the joint stock feature is the ono thing needful. If this shall be the judgment of tho society, let it be done. Another matter of importance relates to the various County Agricultu? ral Booie tica that have grown np and are in successful operation-as in Anderson, Abbeville, Barnwell, Darlington, Orango barg and Charleston. These shuni-.; be brought in accord with the Central or State Sooiety, and a nicely adjusted and harmonious system devised. We can make the State Agricultural and Mecha? nical Sooiety a great, solid, substantial power in Sooth Carolina-pleasant in its ro-unions and strong in its admirable re? sults. Thorough industrial organization is what we want in South Carolina. We want it to. the end that all our great re? sources, from the mountains to the sea? board, may be fully developed. We want it to help us to become again a wealthy community. We want it, that we may again extend to our ohildron the priceless blessings of education and churches. We want ic, thai we may again grasp that power and feel that dignity which come from material acqui? sitions. We waut it, that our people, rising through the thick clouds of disas? ter, may again stand before tho country ereot and undaunted in, conscious strength. In this spirit, let the society meet this evening, and whatever their bands find to do, let it bo done with all their might. -<-??-? A Word Kn l'allant. Those of our readers who hnvo been reading the Union will observe tho miser? able way in which it shirks and evades the questions put to it by us. Wc leave it for the present to the contempt which its conduct excites and to tho .ignominy wbioh its course and its principles merit. We ore gratified to think that our partial exposure of its animus, its history and its designs will at least prevent its capa? city for evil from being equal to its dis? position to do mischief. We have shown that the coin is spurious and have nailed it down. We leave it for the present to its bitter reflections. Better themes will engage our thoughts for the week, but aa it behaves, so shall wo regulate our oon dnot towards it. Let it take care. We shall watoh it pro bono publico. A gentleman from York, one of its best citizens, gives no very cheering ac? count of tho condition of things there. Grant's military rule bears heavily upon the' spirits and business of the people. So in Sp/artanburg and elsewhere in tho . up-country, peaceful communities feel tho blow that the Government, acting upon base and malicious information, has inflicted upon our peoplo. We re? peat what we have before said-to bo first plundered by Soott & Co., and then punished by Grant & Co., is hard to bear. A FATAL KEROSENE EXPLOSION.-On Thursday night, Lizzie Smith, a colored girl, was fatally burned by the explosion of a can of kerosene oil, whilo endeavor? ing to kindle a fire at her house on Con? gress street, in Savannah. Proceedings of Meeting or Excontlre Committee of Agricultural ?ad Me? chanical Society. At a meeting of the Exeoutive Com mitt?o of the Agricultural and M?Cu?ni oal Society, held last' evening, Dr. John Fisher, of Columbia, was appointed su? perintendent of the household depart? ment, as a substituto for Mr. W. R. Ro? bertson; and Mr. G. T. Berg, of Colum? bia, as a substituto for Gov. M. L. Bon? ham. Tho principals above were and will bo absent. The Committee on Horses were ap? pointed and consists of Col. A. H. War? ing, Chairman, and Messrs. R. Joyner, J. M. Williams, W. G. Rioe, and W. R. Flud. Tho Committee on Cattle will consist of Dr. J. W. Parker, Chairman, and Messrs. N. C. Robertson, T. O. Sanders, G. J. Freister, and Ed. Caa tey. Maj. Thos. Taylor was assigned ex? plosive control of the speed department. The Committee on Ploughing consists of Captain H. Gibbes, Chairman, und Messrs. N. Huffman and J. G. Rabb. The remaining committees will appear in to-morrow's PHOENIX. The Executive Committee have also opened a combination ring-premium $20-to be competed for on Friday, at 2 o'clock P. M.; $5 entrance, and no ani? mal qualified unless it has previously competed for some other premium at this fair. It was further decided that superin? tendents be requested to familiarize themselves at onoe with the entries in their respective departments, and Bee to the proper arrangements of articles. On each day they will report at 9 A. M., at tho Secretary's office, to obtain the pro? gramme of the day for their department, and soe that it is properly oarriod oat. D. WYATT AIKEN, Seoretary. Where la tbe State GoTernmentt A Northern exchange says: While United States soldiers are hunting thc farmers of South Carolina, the Governor, Comptroller, Treasurer and Attorney-General of that Slate are in New York. The State bonds have latterly declined seriously in that mar? ket, buying iu little moro than a year j fallen from eighty to forty. The last de? cline has beou generally attributed to the political mid, but the Now York World \ heurs a startling rumor that there has 1 been an over-issue of $16,000.000 State , bonds. Apropos of this subject, a cor? respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says: "After the Ku Klux are disposed of, there is ono more thiug to bo doue to bring peuco to the State. The thieves must be rooted ont of the State Govt rn ment. There are men in office hero who are Bucking the blood of the State, who are swindling the people out of tens of thousands of dollars every year. They are as bad as the Tammany ring, and the only thing that keeps them from stealing as much is tbe faot that there is not so much to steal. They tako ali they can got, however. There are men here ia Columbia, occupying positions in the State Government, who have grown sud? denly rich by stealing. They publish tho faot to the world by sporting gay equipages upon tbe streets and living like princes. This aggravating and or? ganized robbery of an impoverished peo? ple is ono of tho maia causes of the ex? istence of the Ku Klux Klan." Tho New York World says: Them reaches us an astounding rumor that there has been an over-iBBue of $16,000,000 ia South Carolina bonds. Can it be that the martial law business in that State is connected with this con? dition of affairs? To oust the present State Government by tho bayonet, and to tako unto itself the manipulation of the fiaaaocH certain under snob develop? ments to offer a rich margin of specula? tion, would be a lucrative operation for the White House "military ring." Mar? tial law carries with it, of course, the administration of tbe finances as well us any other power of state. Can the Union, tho organ, throw any light upon this subject? The DAILY WAFFLES of tho Charlton Charitable Association tako placo every morn? ing, at 10 o'clock, at their office, on Main etrcet, opposite tho eito of Janney's lintel. Nov 7_ Special Notice.

It is with pleasure that we call attention to tho statement of this sterling old com? pany. Incorporated sixty-one years ago, it scorned, by its age, to command om veneration and respect. But added tc age, it has had trial after trial, out -ol each of wuioh it hiir, come triu-r-phiiat Recently a terrible calamity bas befaller it, as well as others. It was like tho mai walking the street, struck by lightning. But wu aro glad to say, that althougt stuuncd by this stroke of lightning, tnt good old Hartford stands yet a beaoot light for safety to all desiring reliabli insurance and perfect security. Thi Hartford is ono of the oldest oompaniei in America, and its stock commands i higher prico than many others. Wi gladly commend it to our friends. Wi need only udd that it is represented ii Columbia by Messrs. Black Sc Waring ai local agents. Its business hero has beet large, and wo congratulate our friend: tint their interests have been in so sufi hands. Our community is too well ac quaint cd with Messrs. Black ?fc Wuriuf to require any recommendation from ns They have been triod, and fouud ii every respect worthy acd well qualified CHICAGO INSURANCE.-The Cincinuat Gazelle, referring to the Andes Inanranci Company, of which Messrs. Black ?5 Waring aro agents in thia city, says: Tbo lossos of the Cincinnati insurauci companies-tho home companies, wi moan-by tho Chicago fire, aggregate 81,500.000, including tho Andes, whiol lost $850,000. This is a largo sum, bu it is gratifying to bo able to say thai every dollar of tho loss will be paie promptly, and without grumbling. Thii is a creditable result for our etty, ant fairly illustrates tho stability of Gmein uati enterprises. Of no other city ir the Uuitod States, the insurance comps nies of which had risks at Chicago, cac this bo said. It is estimated that onlj fifty per cent, of the aggregate losses will be paid. In this general wreck Cin otQuati looms up nobly. It is also to bc remarked, thatwhilo our companies fool their heavy losses, the oapital, exoept it two or three oases, will not be impaired, and ia these oases stockholders step for ward and make up the deficiency, tte that there will be no suspensions, one nothing to do in the way of liquidation For this un exampled reputation f high ptioe has been paid, but it will givi Cincinnati underwriters a standing tba will prove valuable in the future. Al ready their business from outside placei bas largely increased, and a single com paoy received in premiums from Puila delphia yesterday 85,000. The Andes, winch startod out with ? paid up capital of $1,000,000, Stlfierot most, of course, losing more than all tin other home companies together; but tin stockholders, instead of proposing t compromiso, subscribo 8500,000, and re solve to maintain the reputation of tb? company by paying in full. The gout will of such au lustitution, with an ouor mons boniness already established, is to< valuable to throw awuy, aud the stock holders, in deciding to hold on to it toted wisely. With prudent management, and thi ?ploodid reputation that hus boen fairlj won, our home companies will econ be able tb make good 'their losses. 'They Will undoubtedly he cautions hereafter with reference to Chicngo risks, but Ghi' cago Bufferers will grutefolly bear testi? mony to the stability aud honor of Cin? cinnati in saran co companies, aa they will also to the Cincinnati Arc-proof safes, which proved so superior and so vaiaa ble in that great conflagration.
