COLUMBIA. S. C. Thursday Morning:, October 24,1872. For President of the United States. HORACE GHEKLKY. of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, or missouri. Th? State Fair. The fourth anneal fair of the Agricul? tural and Mechanical Society of Sooth Carolina will soon be held in our city. It is a great levor of progress ia the ma? terial and industrial develop mont of our Stato; affords an opportunity for the happy, social commingling of oar active, worthy citizens from all seotions; is a sonrce of large revenue to the merchants and business men of our city, and as such, deserving of the hearty support of the press, whose only legitimate sphere of duty is to guard and advauoe the public interests. The indications aro that the approaching fair will surpass any of its predecessors, in the number of attendants and tho variety, value and attraction of the articles exhibited. The premium list has been largely entended und more correotly systematized, and every necessary step taken to make tho fair a success. As we havo before remarked, the fair is, aside from its general importance to the State, of immonso advautago to the oity of Columbia. By means of it, thousands upon thousands of dollars are brought into our city every year, and makes a marked impression for good upon every brauoh of businoes. It is the duty, as it is the iuterest, of the citi? zens of Columbia and our city authori? ties to do overtiring in their power to make tho fair a permanent and flourish? ing institution. We are sorry to seo from reoent resolutions adopted by the Oity Council, that it is proposed to insti? tute, or to push forward legal proceed? ings already instituted against the Agri? cultural and Mechanical Society, to test the titles to the Fair Grounds, now claimed and held by the society or by trustees to their use. Into the merits of tho case we have not fully inquired; nor would it be proper for us. peahaps, to oomment npon it, even if we were more fully posted. We do hope, however, that the matter will be arranged in some way, so os not to jeopardize the large interests which the people of Columbia, especially, have at stake in keeping our annual Stato Fair held here. A VKBT. G UH AT DIFFERENCE.-The Oo tober elections in 1868 were fairly indi? cative of the then forthcoming election of Gen. Grant. But there was a very different state of affairs then from that which now exists. In three States then -Missouri, Tenuesaee and West Vir? ginia-the white population was largely disfranchised. The negroes and carpet? baggers were almost the only voters, and Missouri was made to give Grant 25,000 majority, Tennessee 30,000 majority, and West Virginia nearly 9,000 majority. All of these States, whoso aggregate electoral vote is thirty-two, are now cer? tain for Greeley by immense majorities. Missouri will give him 50,000, Tennessee 60,000, and Weat Virginia 15,000. Again, there were three Southern States in 1868 which were not permitted to vote at all Virginia, Texas and Mississippi. Gree? ley will sweep the first two like wild-fire, and bas an equal ohanoe with Grant in the third. This is an additional differ? ence of twenty-seven electoral votes in favor of Greeley. Then, again, the fol? lowing States, which voted for Grant in 1868, aro now more likely to vote for Greeley: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecti? cut, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Florida. Score up forty-one more, or a total electoral vote of 100, which Seymour did not got ia 1868, and which Greeley is likely to get in 18T2. Tho re? sult of the October elections this year is, therefore, no absolute test of the result in November. Tho circumstances are different, and the consequences will bc different. Some of the Administration jonrnah say that the Liberals and Democrats have nothing to boast of in electing Hendricks in Indiana, inasmuch as the} failed to elect a majority of the Legisla? ture. They did not look upon their sue cess in eleotiug Caldwell in North Caro? lina in the same light, but claimed e great victory, although they lost thc Legislature by a large majority. SOUTHERN SECURITIES.-The Souther: State bonds were considerably mon aotive and generally strong and higher The adoption in South Carolina at th? election on Wednesday, of the oonstita tional amendment prohibiting the in orease of the State debt without a direo vote of the people, oansod a rise of tw< or tbreo per oent. in South Carolinas The Virginia consols advanced ou tbi prospect that the Court of Appeals wil decide that the coupons aro receivabli in payment of State taxes. The stir ii Southern securities was general ant reached pretty nearly all the list. [Neto Fork Herald, 2Ut. A Pollab. Lady Knoatcd, At a gathering of Poles in the little village of Kernst, on the Soot-hern Nie? men, on the 29th of July last, when all thought themselves seoure from the in? trusion of any of the numerous spies who keep the BuBsian officialB informed of the malcontents among them, Alex? andrina Kossowitz, a young lady, wnoBe father, the younger son of a formerly noble Polish family, was killed in the recorjt troubles in Warsaw, expressed her sympathy with the unfortunates whom Russian severity had murdered or sent into exile. The meeting was a purely social one, and none dreamed that anything said there would reach the ears of spies, for all present were known to be Poles, and firm haters of the harsh rule under which they then lived. Still, aa the young girl, in her passionate remem? brance of a father's love, deplored his death, expressed her sympathy with re? bellion and ber detestation of her op? pressors, she was cautioned lest her loud tone should enable people at the window to hear her. With a hasty glance, as though to read in the faces of those about her who should betray her, the young lady ceased her execrations and relapsed into silenee. When 10 o'clock arrived, the latest boor of Polish gather? ings, the company separated, and Alex? andrina Kossowitz, accompanied by her affianced, Julian Temeusky, went to ber home. If, in passing from the house of the gathering, she had been a mero observ? ?t, Alexandrina would have seen the maliciously triumphant glances cast after ber by Catherina MerdofT, a woman about thirty-five years, a Pole by birth, and a sympathizer with her own un? happy countrywomen whenever her own passion was not concerned, and from subs?quent proceedings it Booms that in .bis caso she had been superseded in the iffections of the young Dr. Temeusky Jy the more beautiful and younger Alex? andrina Kossowitz. On the following day, shortly after rising, Alexandrina was Beizcd in her own lome, a short distance from Kernst, by ?wo Cossacks of the guard at tho garri? son, and taken before the petty judge. The young lady of nineteen, hand lomeand trembling, produoed no feeling af pity. Having at first denied the ac? cusation, she was confronted with Cathe? rine Merdoff, and then acknowledged her jffenoo. In passing sentence, the potty udge said her seditious utterances might lave warranted him in sending her be? fore a higher tribunal, where the penalty ifould be death; but in view of her routh and contrition, he would merely jrder her to receive thirty-five lashes of -ho knout. Almost benumbed with ibame and terror, the girl was led away ;o be prepared for punishment, for in Russia all eenteuces, save that of death, ire oarried out immediately after they lave been pronounced. Word having been sent to the officer commanding the troops, a guard of 200 men were ordered into the garrison square, and the executioner of the troop was called upon to be read; to surry ont the duties of his office. lu half an hour after the sentence had been given, the troops had been formed in a hollow square, in the centre of which had been placed a scaffold, standing on four legs, the top of which waa an in? clined plane. Beside this stood tho exe? cutioner, having in his muscular baud the knout. This weapon oonsists of a stick or handle two feet long, with a lash four feet long of sole leather, to the end af which is attaohed, by a loop, a piece ot flat raw hide two inches wide and two feet long. In the hands of an experi? enced man, tho piece of raw-hide eau be made to cut like a knife. As tho executioner stood facing tho Boafibld, Alexandrina Kossowitz was brought to him by her guard, and in a few moments her clothing was removed to her waist, despite ber almost mute appeals to be spared tho shame. As she pleaded she was bent on tho plane, her hands strapped to the two upper cor? ners, and her ankles scoured nt the foot of the structure. One of the execu? tioner's assistants held ber head, and the petty judge gave the order for the whip? ping to commence. Twirling the long lash in the air, the executiouer stepped suddenly backward, and with a sharp crack the thong fell on the baok of the sobbing girl, cutting a livid streak from ber right shoulder to her waist. A ter? rible tremor passed over ber, and a quiok, low ory escaped her lips; but it was tho only sound she utterod, aud were it not for the blood, which soon com to eneed to flow, it might have seemed that tho whipping was being done on the naked back of a corpse. When the last lash had beon given, the young lady was unfastened, and with her clothing rudely thrown over her, she was taken to prison, after thanking the judge for his meroy, according to the necessary formula, she was delivered over to her friends. Five days afterward the Gazette, of Wilna, contained this announcement: "The Polish criminal, Alexandrina Kos? sowitz, daughter of tho rebel Peter Kos Bowitz, who waa knouted for seditious utterances on the 24th of July at Kernst, while submitting her lacerations to medical treatment, in the boase of the physician Temen sky, stole a vial of prussic acid, with which she ended ber days." A correspondent of the Savannah News, writing from Monticello, Florida, states that a growing disposition ie ex? pressed in that section of tho State to annex West Florida to Alabama, tack Middle Florida on to Georgia, and to allow East Florida to constitute the State. This indicates tho restiveness and dissatisfaction of the people in a strong and foroible light. SEEKING TO AVBNOB HIS FATHER'S DEATH.-Tbe California papers say that a Bon of Crittenden, whom Mra. Fair killed, and for whose murder she has just been acquitted, is dogging her foot steps md threatening to kill ber. TUB FAIU OF THE CAROLINAS-OPEN? ING DAT.-The fair opened Tuesday, with very favorable auspices. The day, though cloudy, was pleasant. Quite a number of persons were in attendance for the first day. The exhibition of arti? cles, both uf home and foreign manufac? ture, waa quito lurge. The art gallery occupies the seoond story. Thia department deserves a muoh more elaborate dosoription than we can mako at this time; however, we will call especial attention to the very handsome portraits of "Our Beloved Chieftain," Oen. lt. E. Lee, painted by Mr. Albert Querry, of South Carolina. The pic? tures aro full-length oil paintings, repre? senting the "grand old hero," both iu citizen's and military dress. The pic? tures are pronounced by his son, (Gen. W. H. F. Leo,) and by others who knew him well during and ufter the war, to be admirable likenesses. As also "A Tri? bute" to "Stonewull" Jackson, a shell mouument of exquisite design and work? manship, (it ie the work of Mrs. E. T. Atwood, of St. Louis,) ouclosed in a largo glass stand, whioh also contains the scarf worn by Gen. Jackson, made from Bilk and cotton grown at the South; also H pipe made by "u Confederate in pri ? jn." The entrios in tho live stock lino uro not as full as they might or should have been. Quito a number of horses uro on exhibition, both as racers and draft horseB, some of them very lino. In this department South Carolina decidedly takes the lead, so far. TUB RACES.-Judges-Capt. J. Kirk? land, J. L. Gibson and C. H. Pettingiii. At half past 2 the judges took their stations on the stand, audthecrowd con? gregated in tho grand ??tami and around the course. The horses entered for to? day's races, best three in Qve, were bay gelding Top, by Harvey, Danville, Vu., roan golding Charlie Logan, Graham, Columbia, S. O. The choice of position being drawn for by the jadges, Top had the pole. FIRST HEAT.-After considerable soor ing the hornea had a good send off, Charlie Logan ahead. At tho half mile pole Logan waB two lengths ahead-time 1.27-keeping this position until within 100 yards of the stand, when Top closed up on him and passed the stand two lengths ahead; time 2.58. SECOND HEAT.-Top took and kept the lead, passing the half mile pole two lengths ahead-time 1.31-and won the heat in 3.02>?. THIRD HEAT.-Logan in the lead bnt Top closing up passed him at the half mile pole one length, and kept iu the lead, winning the race in 3.05. The first prize of $150 was awarded to Top, the second of $50 to Logan. m - The New York Herald, after giving an acconnt of the climes of twenty-two men, who are now in the Tombs, await? ing their trial for murder, Hayn: Tho two principal figures, however, among this crowd of men charged with murder, are Foster and Stokes. Foster's last hope now lies in the Unart of Ap? peals, before which tribunal he will pro? bably be taken in November next. Ho is hopeful for his life, and shows no signs of fear that ho will be adjudged a real murderer. Stokes bears his posi? tion much less fretfully now than ho used to bear it. His great confidence in an acquittal by a jury having been de? stroyed, he bogan to recognize with bet? ter sens? tho perilous position in which bu was placed, and he has now become tolerably reconciled to the tortures and privations of prison existence. His health is not failing, and he, too, is hope? ful. In fact, the reporter was informed that there was not a poor wretch in tho Tombs from whose sinful breast Heaven has yet taken the poor consolation of a little hope for the future. TnrjTH ABOUT HORACE GREELEY.-Mr. Groeley's personal participation in the campaign has been to his signal credit. During 200 speeohes, short and long, and, for tho most part, sudden and impromptu, he uttered no UUW?BO word. On tho other hand, these railway and balcony utterances demonstrated to the American people their author's uncom? mon nobility of mind and heart. Mr. Greeley, by his brief candidacy, has made a great intellectual and moral im? pression. Thia exhibition of magnifi? cent common sense in tho candidate shows what a rare and admirable be? havior we would get from him in the Presidential chair. "Whatever happens in November," said Mr. Greeley to a few friends the other day, "I hope it will bo enid of me that I have acted my part and done my duty well." We behove that this tribute will be universal and sponta? neous throughout the ranks of the Liberal Republican and Democratic parties. From the beginning of the canvass until now, nigh its close, Mr. Greeley has grown steadily in the re? spect of his opponents and the esteem of his friends.-Ooldea Age. THE FAT HOO.-One of the greatest curiosities on exhibition at the Fair Grounds is the fat hog, whioh is exhibit? ed near the industrial hall. It is over nine feet long and weighs more than 1,200 pounds. It was raised in Abbe? ville, South Garolina, and is well worth seeing.-Augusta Chronicle. The Montgomery Advertiser learns that the military academy in Wetumpka was destroyed by fire on tho 14th instant. The IOSB will bo probably $1,500, and no insurance. The general impression is that it is the work of au inoendiary. A riot ooourred in Fairburn, Ga., on Saturday last, in which pistols and knives were freely used by the drunken mob. Several persons wero wounded, and one killed. Captain Murray, an ex-Confederate officer, was found dead in his bed at Gainesville, Florida, on the 17th of Oc? tober. Simon Cameron has bought out the Philadelphia Press. "What will he do with it?" A BRESTS UNDER THE KU KLUX LAW. Enraged at the roso.lt of the recent elec? tion in this State, Grunt aoems to have put Georgia nnder the ban, and bas in? structed his myrmidons to commence the work of hounding down and incarcerat? ing her citizens. This warfaro was in? augurated night before last, by a raid upon the people of Wilkinson County. From a gentleman who carno ia yester? day on the Central Railroad, we obtained the particulars of the affair. Oa Friday night, tho train from Macon brought down a strong detachment of soldiers, detailed for duty from the At? lanta garrison. The party was accompa? nied by a number of colored guides. At Station No. 1(5, which is near Irwiatoo, the County site of Wilkinson, a squad of the soldiers and three of the nogro guides left tho cars and sallied into tho country. At Station No. 15, the remain? der of tho soldiers and two negro guides disembarked. At tho dead of night, these troops marched from house to house, arresting citizens, dragging them from their beds and carrying them away from their families. During tho night, they arrested ton citizoos-Dr. T. A. Simmons, H. E. Hyman, R. G. Hyman, W. C. D. Carwilo, George Gilbert, Eli Peacock, Wm. Dickson, Jethro Vallan diugham, Charles Peacock and Milton Liudsny. The prisoners wero placed on tho train yesterday, and taken to Savan? nah under guard. Tho charges against the parties are not definitely known. It is supposed that three of tho gentlemen aro accused of hoing implicated in tho killing of Deason, tho Sheriff of the County, which occurred more than a year ago. Tho others, it is believed, are charged with hiving mutilated some colored men.-Augusta Chronicle. THE ATLANTA DUEL.-Lute last oven iug Mr. J. H. Townsend was in a very uncertain condition. His attendants are scarcely justified in saying that he is im? proving. He expectorated blood yester? day, and this fact was considered by s imo as significant that his lungs had been uffeotod by tho gun-shots. There were, however, no very serious appre? hensions that ho would not recover. His arm, which was fearfully mutilated by tho gnu-shot, is also in an uncortnin con? dition. His physicians and surgeons, however, still entertain hope that they may save it. Mr. Force has not yet made his ap? pearance, though it is generally conceded that he is in tho city, as it is reported that he was seen in the city on Sunday night.-Atlanta Sun. FIRE.-The flouring, grist and saw mills und carding machine, belonging to Leroy Me Arthur, situated at the "Trough Shoals," on Pacolot River, were entirely destroyed by tire, on Monday night, tho 11th instant. The fire originated, it is supposed, from fire dropped while saw? ing at night. The loss is about 80.000. Mr. McArthur, the owner of tho proper? ty, had erected these milla and otherwise improved the property, at a considerable 'expense, and we regret exceedingly that ho has met with such a misfortune. [Spartanburg Spartan. PERSONAL.-George C. Perrin, son of our esteemed townsman, the Hon. T. C. Perrin, left tills place on Monday, to take the position of Civil Engineer on the Southern Pacific Railroad, at Mar? shall, Texas. Mr. Perrin is fully quali? fied for tho position he is to occupy, having perfected himself ia his profes? sion by two years of study ia the Wash? ington and Line University. [Abbeville Medium. THE COTTON STATES FAIR.-Tuesday nan tho day appointed for the opening of the third annual exhibition of tho Cotton States Mechanics' and Agricultu? ral Fair Association, at Augusta. The gates of the grounds opened at half-past 8 o'clook, but owing to the weather, and the fact that it was generally regarded as "opening day," tho crowd during the morning was not very large, and tho visi? tors confined their attention principally to the floral and industrial hull. JUSTICE DOUOHERTT DEAD.-A private despatch received in Atlanta announces tho death, in New York, of Mr. Wm. Dougherty, one of the most distinguish? ed lawyers iu Georgia. He had long been sinking, and his death created little surprise, though universal regret, among his numerous friends and ac? quaintances. The Macon Telegraph reports that on Friday two negro men had an alterca? tion at a shanty near Mrs. McCall's, three miles out on the Macon and Au? gusta Railroad, in which one of them was killed. The difficulty was over a stick of wood, whioh both were trying to get possession of, when one of thom drew bis pistol and shot the other dead. MASES AND FACES.-LadieB who mask their faces and necks with enamels, en? danger theirjhoalth to no purpose. The plaster work deceives nobody. Thore is but one article known which will restore a blemished complexion or or?ate exter? nal brilliancy and bloom where they have never heretofore existed, and that article is HAOAN'B MAGNOLIA BALM. It performs this toilet mirado by infusing vitality into the skin. The floral and herbal juices of whioh it is composed greatly stimulate the circulation in the minute blood vrsaels, and brace tho net? work of nerves throogh which they pass. Thus quickened and strengthened, the external oovering soon acquires a fresh and healthful huo, and every traoo of sallowness disappears. The palest cheeks derive from the beautifying baptism of this delightful cosmetio a warmer hue, aud the arms, bands aud neck a blonde lustre, whioh the charlatans, who pro? fess to make ladies "beautiful forever" with their poisonous comeut, can never hope to imitate. $1,000 Reward will be paid hythe proprietor of Dr. Pierco's Golden Medi? cal Diaoovery, for a medicine that will equal it in curing severe aud lingering Coughs, Bronchitis and all diseases of the lungs. Boo et 1 It em m . Cm MATTIERS.-Tho price of single copies of tho PHOJNIX is five cents. A goodly number of our citizens have gone to tho Charlotte and Augusta fairs, includiug representatives of the PUONIX. A mine of sulphate of baryta has been discovered at King's Mountain, a few miles from the Air-Line Raihoad, and is being worked by T. E. Colbnrn, E-<q., of Boston, Mass. The mineral is shipped to Bath, Mo. J. H. Williams, Attorney-General of the United States, and James A. Hall, of Maine, aro advertised to address a Re? publican mooting in Charleston, on Fri? day next, in tho interest of U.S. G. Mr. Walter Monteith made a very nar? row escape from serious injury last night. Ho was riding np Main street, in a gallop, when his horse stumbled and foll to the gronnd, throwing Mr. Mon? teith into .tho mud. Neither rider or horse was hurt. I Wo call tho attention of thu-public to the advertisement, iu another column, of tho Howe sewing machino. Wo have soon some of the work done on this ma? chine, and have no hesitancy in saying that it equals, if it does not surpass, the prettiest we have ever seen. A difficulty occurred Tuesday night be? tween two colored men, near Cbappell's Depot, Newberry County, resulting in the killing of Bluford Nelson by Ander? son Williams. Some disagreement as to the division of the orop is assigned as the cu use. The Cherokee County triplets-Corde? lia, Ophelia and Aurelia-will be on ex? hibition at the Georgia Cotton States Fair. The rain whioh commenced falling on Tuesday afternoon bas continued inces? santly up to the hour of going to press this morning. Wo aro indebted to' M. Gray, music publisher, San Francisco, Cal., for copies of two children's songs, entitled "God Bless Papa,"aud "Loving Hearts Around You, Mother." The words are by Sam? uel Booth and tho music by G. T. Evans. Prico thirty cents each. One of the parties alleged to have been connected with tho killing of Jacob Brown, colored, at Dom's Mine, Abbe? ville County, on the night of the 16th instant, has been arrested and lodged in Abbeville jail. Tho Governor has appointed Joseph M. Brown, of Anderson, a Notary Pub? lic; James MoCaslan and Joseph Cross? land, Trial Justices for Abbeville; A. J, Chaplain, Trial J as tico for Col loton; J. W.

The correct answer to the gentleman who wroto tho song, "Why did I marry?" would be, "Because you met a woman who was a first class fool." JOUN ROBINSON'S GREATEST ENTER? PRISE.-Some of my friends have feared that I have expended such a fabulous sum of money in fitting out my great traveling show that I will never get it back again; well, if I don't, perhaps I can stand it. I have learned that the moro extravagant a manager is in pro? viding for the publia gratification, the more liberally will he be patronized. Indeed this is one of the great secrets In my lino of business. Of course a mana? ger must not muddle his brain with liquor, but must keep it clear and cool so that he don't squander foolishly. Lay out every dollar judiciously where it will gratify your patrons, then go ahead with your show; tho public will do the rest. Will exhibit at Columbia, Monday, No? vember ll. ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.-The Novembor number of tbe Eclectic is at hand, and presents a timoly portrait, handsomely engraved on steel, of James Anthony Froudo. Another timely feature of this number is the excellent biographical sketch of tho late William Henry Se? ward, reproduced from the New York Tribune. The tablo of contents em? braces seventeen articles, amongst the most attractive of whioh are the leader on "Japan;" "A Voyage to the Binged Planet;" "Novels and their Times;" "A Pilgrioiage to Port Royal;" "Georg* Eliot;" "Secret Police of Paris;" "Prose and Yerse;" "Domestic Lifo and Econo? my in France;" "The Mother of Jacques," a most charming and pathetic story; "Development in Dress;" "Me? teors and Shooting Star?;" a sketch of "James Anthony Fronde;" with several poems, and additional chapters of "The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton." Published by E. R. Pelton, 108 Fulton street, New York. Terms, 85 a year. ARTISTIC.-We had tho pleasure, on yesterday afternoon, of examining a pen oil drawing, the production of Miss Belle Arther's fucilo hand, representing the buBt of a child whose hands are olasping branches of luscious fruit. We were surprised at the artistic nkill which this finished picture displayed. Our surprise and admiration were exchanged for amazement when informed that its beau? tiful delineations were the handiwork of one jost in her teens, who had been under the gui Janeo of a tutor but six weeks. Wo cannot too highly eulogize this graceful sketch of the child artist, whose talent recalls the rare skill of her distinguished father, the Hon. E. 3. Arthur-the man without a superior in toacbing with tho liveliest vitality every object ' that attraoted his fancy. This work is the perfection af pencil drawing; its outlines are as graceful as the nature of Ibo sketch would permit; and we be speak for the young miss triumphs that will carve her name high in the niche of fame. The drawing can be seen for a few days at the store of R. L. Bryan, Esq. LIST OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. E. W. Soreven-Sewing Machines. Judge J. J. Wright-Lost. Baxter Sc Seibels-Law Firm.
