The Constitution oj the Provisional G'occrinnriitThe constitution of the Provisional Government contains forty-eight niticlcx, and would be laughable if it were not *o dull. It of course abolishes slavery, unci says ilint, eveivhodv of (nature ngeslinll vole fur u President and Vice f'resident. The Congress was not to contain more than ten members, and their term of oHice was to be thr*e years. All persons who voluntarily delivered up their slaves were lo he registered in u book, and have protection. All per sous are allowed the privilege, of carrying arms openly. TI12 ottering of violence lo females taken prisoners was to be punished l?y death.? This singular constitution closes as follows: The foregoing articles shall not he ons'rued so ni in any way to encourago theoverthrow of uny State Government, or of the General Governmentof the United Stales ; and iook to no dissolution of the Union, hut simply to uineml :i.-ni and repeal.

To day I renew uiy protest; to day I tiller yours. The code of honor is a delusion and a snare; it. paltorn with the hope of u true couragu and binds it at the feet of crafty and cruel t-kill. It stirrouuds its victim with the pomp and grace of the procassion, but leaver hitu bleeding on the altar. It substitutes cold and dclicate preparation for courageous and tnanly impulse, and arms the ane to disarm the other. It may prevent fraud between practiced duelists who should he forever without its pale, but it makes the mere " trick of the weapon" superior to the noblest cause and the truest courage. Its pretence of equality-is a lie?it is equal iu all the fcrm, it is unjust in all the aubstanoo^tbe habitude of arms, the early training, tbe frontier life, the border wnr, the Mrtkmal custom, the life of leisnrc, all these Are a.lvautsqres which no negotiation can ueautral iff, enjJ which no courage can overcome. i ABBEVILLE BANKER-, W.

I Whatever diss iti.-factioii there may he with (lie award* of the Committee*, wo feel as-ured that I no one will eliurge the Executive Coiniiiittc with I h failure to come fully ii|> to their published programme. They gave Premiums for every | tiliiiitl far iieyond what they had pioiiiisrd | in the Premium List. The award of Premiums j l>v th* various Committees exceeded very fir tliii?e presciihed by tlio Premium Lint, nml it is ; po*->il>le that teiiiio to whom premiums wero ! awarded failed to receive them. This liou-dej livery of Premiums, according to the award of I the Cotiiuiiltve?, iimy In? attr.billed la a deficiency in the supply of premium* on hand, mid not to any desire of the Kxecutivc t'ommittpe to withhold from any th.it eouvenir of merit which had been awarded to them. Tin1 Executive Com mittee went even Iieyond the means of the Society in giving out Premiums. Tneir account on this score will reach Seven Hundred and Eighteen Dollars, which is equal to the cash receipts of the Society from all sourccs up to this dale. The Address of Hon.

It is soon to he published entire, and we shall not therefore attempt further noticc of it. We are not blind to the fact that tliero has been lome murniitrings at the awards of prizes. It were an impossibility to conduct nny scheme involving as much complicated mtiehiuniy uu 'liit of an Agricultural I'nir, without evolving from (lie minds of some the idea of partiality nnd fdvorilia n. lint may it not be said that lie \\lio i is too strongly wedded to In* own opinion is but loo opt to bold nny judgement warped and biused (but stands opposed to bis own. In n Society like ibie we must learn lo humbly submit lo the judgement of our equals. This idea of pailiuliiy and favoritism when once it takes root in the Society will certainly make ila baneful influences fell in every pure of its frame. We have no kind of idea that any btich tiling us this litis or ever will exist in tliis Society. It ill ila existence or nou existence is not the question. To manage it in such way hb lo keep down the impression or idea of its existence should I e a vital luestion with those who have charge of it, because its ideal or imaginary existence will be a6 fatal to the Society as its actual ami real presence. We will venture a single suggest ion to our Agii$\jllural friends. We think that a t'reiuium fho^ld be glVeu for the best managed farm in every Beat Company in the District. We would therefore suggest that -each I5cat Company form an Agricultural Club, offer a prize for the best managed farm, and appoint a j | uommiueo ?i itsown to decide the awards and I have ii published ou the day of our next Annual Fair, . ^ m Trade with China.?In view of the prulmhlo rntiKcttiion of our new tieuiy with the Chinese Kinnlre, h summary of the trade of Shtn^rhiii for Lho yeaV 1858 Ims been made at the Stale Department. From this, it appears thut the iig. gregate imports amount to nearly $34,006,000 ; und the aggregate exports to $:i9,600,000. The total value of opium imported wus upwards of $-23,300,000.
