COLUMBIA, 8, C. Wein?!*?y Morning. Ootober 28,1874 The State Pair. On the 10th of next month (next Tuesday week) the State Fair will open in Columbia. Are the farmers, farm ere' wives, mechanics and merchants preparing for this antioipated gala week? The proper authorities are taking time by the forelock, and uro putting their house in order for a grand success. The grounds are being prepared, the main building is under? going repairs, the stable and stock shedB have all been overhauled, the Secretary's offioe is receiving a aoat of paint, and the dilapidated fence on the Btreet is being replaced by a new one. Everything will soon be in redinoss for the reoeption of contributions. Is there * farmer or mechanic in the State who has no? something that he can ex? hibit, that will bo interesting either from merit or novelty? If so, let him bring or send it to Columbia for tbe fair. Then, again, is there a farmer, mechanic or citizen of the Stale who does not feel sufficient interest in the success of our fair to attend at least one or two days daring the week? Come one, then, come all to Columbia, on the 10th November, and let us have a magnificent auooess. The railroads will bring you here and oarry you .home for one fare; tho hotels will feed and lodgo you oonfortably and cheaply, and everybody will bo glad to sec you. So oome to the fair and en? joy yourself at least one week during the year. Bead what our correspond? ent, "A Visitor," says about tho reoent Abbeville Fair. If half tho Counties of the State would each do half as muoh for the State Fair as Abbeville did for herself, we would have tbo grandest display on the 10th Novem? ber that was ever seeu in the South. And why can this not bo done? It can be, if our people only half try. Then, we say again, oome and bring of your effects, and let the world know what aro the producta of the meohanioal and agricultural skill of South Carolinians. Wo have often bad oooasion to re? mark upon tbe advantages to farmers | of meeting eaoh other in a general con? ference onoe or twice a year. They not only Bhow and compare their pro? ductions, but they exchange ideas and experiences. These reasons for sop porting fairs derive additional foroe from the oiroamstanoes of the times. The agricultural interest is more af? fected by the sooial and political revo? lution through which wg are passing than any other. It has need to study and Learn the best policy, the most ef? fective means required to meet the try? ing exigencies in which it is plaoed. And not only will enlightenment oome from fraternal interoome, bat encou? ragement and stimulus. The policy of diminution of the area put in cotton, and increase of that in cereals, the im? portance of making on the farm every thing in the way of meat, bread and ether food, and of olothicg, of raising I stock, vegetables, fruit, of improving and adorning tbe homestead, of be-1 coming really and truly independent, is one of pressing interest to consider in the light of o6mparative experience. Nosoene is so fit to afford instrnotion upon these and kindred points ns the fair, where variety of products, the inventions of mechanical skill, the va? rying opinions and practice of exhibi? tors and visitors, all blend in happy harmony, and make a stndy of the highest interest. The sooial oharms o! snoh an oooasion, at the present de? lightful season of the year, are not the least attractive reasons for desiring that we shall have a fair worthy of the State and people, and which will bj an honor to tho noble pursuit of agricul? ture and its equally noble allies?tho meohanioal and the fine arts. The New York Times, of Saturday, has on interesting letter from its spe? cial correspondent, a strong Republi? can, in regard to the state of affairs in Alabama. According to the testimony of this Republican and competent ob? server, there is no "reign of terror" in Alabama, no "war of races," and no pretenso that reoent crimes in that State have been instigated by political motives. Tbe Republican correspond? ents of the Times and tho Tribune in the South are doing muoh by their plain, unvarnished statements of facts to disabuse the public mind of the do? tations of "outrages" manufactured lot political effect. At tho "cremation party" wbiob they had tho othor day, at Bresluu, for tbo benefit of a convocation of philoso? phers, tbo liver of tho gentleman who woo burned up carried off the honors. It outlasted all tho other soft parts by three-quarters of an hour. On Tuesday next, ooour tbe great November elections, when nearly all of tbe StateA ballot for either State or Congressional officials or both. On the result of these election* will de? pend the political oootro) of the coun? try perhaps for tho next bix years. For if New York and the other great States Toting with her show an overwhelming increase in the Democratic and reform representation in tho Houso of Repre? sentatives, tbe effect will be felt upon the Presidential contest of 1876. Grant's fate may have been decided by the Democratic victories of the pre? sent month. That of the Republican party may be decided on next Tues? day. Thus these elections are of transcendent interest to every friend of reform and good, pure, free govern? ment in the country?it matters littlo what his political affiliations in tbe past may have been. It is earnestly hoped by all such that the Democratic party in the East and the reform parly in tho extreme Wast may bo able on that day to choose tbo requisite n um? ber, thirty-seven, to change tbe politi? cal complexion of the next House of Representatives. Tho prospect is good, aud tbe loaders and rank aud file scum to bo determined to win. - CorrcapotKlcnce or the Plicculx. AnBBViiiTjK O. H , October 20. Mb. Fditob: A week ugo to-morrow I arrived in this village, aud soon learned everything was agog on the subjeot of tbe fair. I strolled towurds tbe Fair Grounds, aud found the "track" alive with haudsouiu stoeds, while the Secretary's office was ull rush and business. Tho worthy Secretary, W. H. Parker, Esq , the lawyer-farmer, (I've not yet hourd whether he is a Granger or not,) was as busy as a bee, assisted by three clerks. Courteous in tbe press of business, the Secretary informed me tbo stock eutry was lurger than it had ever been, und that the household department was super? fine. I rambled back to the village, and wherever I went, iu tho stroets, at I the hotel, amongst the merchants, me? chanics, and the rest of mankind here I abonts, the fair was tho topic of con? versation. Wednesday morning, quite early, tbe town was alive with country people, and during tho day probably 500 visited tho fair. On Thursday, the scene was graud. Everywhere, vehi? cles of every imaginable shape, size and oondition, were entering the town by 8 A. M., and before noon at least 2,000 peoplo bad entered tbo Fair Grounds. And I do uot hesitate to say, be or she that attended the fair and did not get doubly repaid fur their expenditure of time, labor and money do not appreciate the beauties and treasures of tbie mundano tabernacle. The Fair Grounds of this County are the most beautiful und romantio I have over Been, and when they beoome thronged with snob a population as live in this County, they will repay the visitor from the most remote section of the State. The display of horses was simply elegant. No State Fair ever surpassed some of tbe single aud doable teams exhibited there; and the stallions, mares, colts, yearlings and fillies were equal in' quality, if not in numbers, to any ever exhibited at tbe State Fair. Neither was there a deficiency in any of the departments. The oattle, sheep nnd hogs were not numerous, bat very fine; and as for the household department, it was excellent beyond description. Everything, from a quarter of beof, a drossed mutton or pig, all the way dowu throng!; the smoke-house, cellar, larder and pantry to the dining-room side-board, where the children get their luncheons from sponge cake and preserves, wus ex? hibited, and tho contributions were unexoeptionably fine. And as for tho display of ladies' handiwork, there was no end to it, aud it was till good, from the coarsest blanket to the tiniest tatting cuff aud collar. It is un? less to mention tho paintings, and roses and wax, and shell work, and leather, and -tin, and grain, und cotton, and hay, aud turnips, and poas, and ohiokens, and "taters"?ohl what Inters they had there?for everything that ono conld think of was tbero on exhibition, and all of tho first quality. Theso people say they are poor, and farmers are not making money. Well, if thoy arc not, they matlu a great many things more valuable than money, and, unices each exhibitor brought all he had along, and left no? thing at home, they must, at least, make eoongh to live on. On Friday, we had baggy trots, and contests in the saddle, and tbo distri? bution of the premiums, und a grand entry into the arena, at odo time, of j all the stock on exhibition. This was woll worth a visit from Columbia, for the like oannot be seen elscwhero in the State. I was told tho Directors were very liberal with their premiums, aud gave oat near $1,000 worth, an ex? cellent distribution for a County fair. On Thursday night, tbo young men and ladies of tho village gav<? a theatri? cal performance, for some cbnritable purpose, and their receipts must havo boon handsome, for tho large, new, Oourt House was litorally packed. "Toodles" was performed, and both Mr. and Mrs. Toodlce socmud as na? tural us life. It is to bo hoped that most of tbo premium articles at tbo Abbeville Fair will ho sent to the State Fair, and, if thoy are, tho bulk of the. premiums will fiud their way to tho homes of tho thrifty farmers of this County. A VISITOR. Capt. F. W. Bensamin, of Charles? ton, died a few days ago. The Cask of Count Vom Abnim? The Story of the Documents.?A cable despatch eta tee thai it la expect ed the trial of Count Harry Von Arnim, for retaining certain documents al? leged to bo official property, will com? mence at Berlin early in December. Princo Bismarck will be the principal witness. A Paris correspondent of tbe New York Times gives tbe following in relation to the case. Tho arrest of Count Harry Arnim did not surprise me in tbe least, for I was told some months ago that lie ex? pected it and had made bis prepara? tions for it. Ho has in bis possession a number of loiters from Prinoe Bis marck wbiob justify bis conrse witb respect to Home?that is to say, wbiob abow that what be did was at tbe pri? vate request of Prinoe Bismarck, and contrary to bis own viows or wishes. So far au I oau understand, tbe FonV ral Chancellor found it necessary to temporizo on certain poiuta, and bcuce wrote two sots of notos to Count Ar? nim?one, oflloial, telling him to do a certain thing; the other, private, tell? ing bim to do just tbo contrary. He was to go fLhiog, get bis lines cut of order, or find Borne excuse for keeping tbe Cardinal iu tow as long a9 possible. Meanwhile, a certain sort of treachery was going on iu Qermany, and guided by.tho diplomatic notes, wbicb wore sent from Koine, as soon ns read by Couut Arnim, tbo higher clergy wore wiuding themselves up iu a net. The private notes explained all this, aud made au appeal tu Arnim to stifle his own feelings for tbo good of bis couu try. All this went on very woll for somo years, and wben M. de Bismarck opoued tho battlo it was found that bo was prepared on every point. But iu some instances be bud to get out of certain ugly places by pleading that bia ambassador had exceeded bis in? structions, and did not follow tbo spirit of bis orders. Then followed tbo orders. Count Arnim cried out against this course, nud said bo was not willing to bo saoridced for tho houor and glory of his chief. At that time Couut Arnim was eugaged iu some? thing rotating to himself und bin property near ?Stettin, and Priuca Bismarck wrolo bim four notes, ac? knowledging tbat bo bad drawn tbo fury of tbe nltramoutaues down upon tbe Ambassador's bead, but it was duo to tbe exigencies of public policy, nud would soon be made right. 'Apropos, this family affair could be all arranged to bis mind, and then tbe Prinoe went into certain details. Now, C/Uut Ar? nim claims that these four letters were not official documents, but private let? ters, written to bim outside of public affairs, and treating mainly of bis per? sonal and family affairs. Hence, bo declines to give tbom op with tbe Stute documents in bis possession, and placed tbem in a safe spot, more than twelve months ago. My owo impres? sion is. that Cardinel Antouelli could lay bis band on tbem by a perquisition a great deal easier than Princo Bis? marck. Fifth and Last Gift Conoebt in Aid of the Public Library of Ken? tucky.?A Card to the Pubuig.?The management bave determined to have tbe drawing of the Fifth and Last Gift Concert of tbe Public Library of Kentucky, on the 30th day of Novem? ber next. We believe now tbat all the tickets will be sold, and tbat tbe draw? ing will be a full ono, but whether all are sold or nor, tbe drawing will never? theless certainly come off ou thu day appoiuted. Tbe special objeat of tbis card is to call a meeting of tbe ticket-holders at Public Library*Hall, on tbe 20th of November, to make arraugements iu connection witb tbo committee ap? pointed by tbe Trustees to superintend tbo counting of tbe tags representing tbe numbers of tickets sold. While there is no actual necessity for tbe presenoo of ticket-holders, as uuder our arrangements tho intercuts of all are equally cared for, yet at the same, timo I would greatly prefer that us many of those interested us can, would attend this moetiug uud see eaob for himself how porfoctly fair and impar? tial tbo distribution must bo. Every nrraugement has boon made for the drawing?but little moro than a month remains for tbe sale of the remainder of tbe tickets, and whatever is douo must bo done promptly. THOS. E.

The Caviured Monster.?The cap? ture of Nona Sahib, u leader of the Sepoy mutiny in 1857, recalls vividly ? o ttio mind the horrors of that terrible period when the British Euipire in the East seemed iu imminent danger of overthrow. At thut time there were only ?38,000 European troops scattered throughout India. The Sepoys were the native soldiers of the Euglish artuy iu Hindustan. In 1840, liiere were in tho three Presidencies of Bombay, Madras and Bengal, in the pay of ttie East India Company, 175 regiments of native troops. Iu 1857, nt the out? break of tho great rebellion, there were in the Bombay army about 30,000 Sepoys, iu the Madras army -..rout 50,000, uud iu the Bengal army about 120,000, besides several thousand troops employed out of Hindustan. The revolt of that year rendered it chnngo in tho organization of the urrny necessary; its unmbers were largely reduced, and it w ?s, idonjr with the Government of India, transferred to the crown, and the men were placed on the footiug of irregulars. Nona Sahib, the Hindoo chief lain who led the mutiny, was born in 1824, and was ndopted by the chief of tho Muhrettns in 1827. Ou tho death of this chief without heir of his body in 1851, au estate in the neighborhood which had been bestowed upon him during pleasure by the British, waa declared lapsed to the East India Com? pany, as they bad previously refused to recognize inheritance of lands by adoption, and a pension of 8450,000 a year grantod to him and his family in 1818 was also stopped. Neua Sahib sent an agent to Kugland to advocate bis claims, bnt without success, und this supposed wrong he never forgave. The mntiuy arose from a report which was spread amoug tho native troops that u new kind of cartridge, greased iu order to adapt it to the bore of the Entiold rifta, (with whioh the Govern? ment had resolved to arm the Sepoys,) was intended to make them give np their religion by earning them, as the cartridges in loading bad to be torn with tho toctb, to bite the feet of pigs und of cows, the former of which would be defilement; to a Mnsselman, and tho latter would bo sacrilege iu the eyes of a Hindoo. The cry of danger to caste and creed was also raised in some sections. Nena Sahib put himself at tbo bead of the rebels, and became iufamons by bis cruel massacres of prisoners and horrible outrages upon women and children. Tho heroic services of Havelock, O?trem, Lawrence and others finally overcame tho mutiny. Long after the other leaders bad submitted or been captured Neua Sahib continued to in? fest tho Northern parts of Central India. A roport that be bad diod of fevor in the latter part of 1859 was generally discredited, and until now it had been uncertain whether be was alivo or not. As the British Govern? ment is not aiHicted with sentimental ism, as to tho punishment of criminals, great or small, it is likely that Neua Sahib will receive his deserts. ? _ If UM_. .m^^*rmmt 1 Catawba Tribe, No. 1, Improved Order of Red Men.

System Run Down.?Persona often allow tbeir systems to "run down," or -atber run them down by overwork; aooompanied by a neglect of the proper means of invigoration. Tbe result is what is called "general debility;" in other words, a failure and partial col? lapse of tbe physical forces, accompa? nied usually by great depression of spirits. Tbe best remedy in such cases is Hostetter's Stomnob Bitters. Whether tbe state of exhaustion has beeu brought on by excessive physical labor, dissipation, anxiety of mind, exposure, or any other oause, tbe remedial effect of this great stomachic will be found equally prompt and certain. As a restorative after severe sickness bas prostrated the bodily and mental ener? gies, it is prouounced by competent | medical authority the best tonic in use. If mcu wore not foolishly careless ubout tbeir bealtb, and over coufideut in themselves, they would always, when engaged iu any work that re? quired! great exertion, use correspond? ing means of sustaining tbeir strength. For this purpose Hostetter's Bitters are invaluable. All toilers should use them us nu invigoruut. For those c instantly employed in iu do >r occupations, especially in crowded wo.-k-skop3, they may be reckoned as the very best safeguard of | bealtb. Where there is a pre-disposi tiou to constipation, or a tendency to biliousness, they muy be truly said to be a specific for which there is no sub stitute. If there i> n mau or woman who has ever tried it for iudigestiou without being benefited, tbe fuct has not transpired. Universal, uueoutraj dieted pruise avouches its wonderful tonic virtues. Oct 22 f^l Business Necessities.?In these days of progress, most euterprisiug firms use every means of putting tboir names before their customers. Iu no way can this be more conveniently and attractively done thou by using Printed Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They have come into such geueral use by Merchants, that one seems old fashioned who does not use them, and the diatom should be generally adopted by tbe Country Merchants. Walk eu, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, S. C, furnish Letter and Bill Heads of ull grades, und at tbe most reasonable price?. Send to them for samples and prices. By t!*e way, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Coos weil are getting up and I selling like hot cakes, some excellent book* for our Merchants. One, the Merchants' C'ottou Book, for keeping correct accounts of purchases and shipments of Cotton; tbe other, tbe Merchants' Bill Book, for readily knowing bow the payments on tbeir customers' notes and accounts stand.

Scbenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Scbenok's Sea Weed Touic, and Scbenck's Man? drake Pills, are tbe only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consump? tion. Frequently medicines tbat will stop a cough will occasion tbe death of | the patient; tbey lock up the liver, stop tbe circulation of tho blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in faot, tbey clog tbe action of tbe very organs tbat | caused tbe cougb. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are I tbo causes of two-thirds of tbe cases of Consumption. Many persous com? plain of a dull pain in the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain in tbe shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness und resiles mess, the food lying heavily on tbo stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of tbe stomach j or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if tbey take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases bo suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid und inactive, and al? most before they are aware, tbo lungs are a mass of sores ana ulcerated, tbe result of which is death. Scbeuck's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex? pectorant, which docs not contain opium or anything calculated to chock a cougb suddenly. Scbenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves tbo food, mixes with tbe gastric juices of tbe stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Scbenck's Maudraku Pills aro required. These medicines are prepared only by J. H. Schenck Sc Sou, N.
