Tan First Annual Fair of the above Society,
came off on Tueaday loot, and wa much
better attended and awakened more interest
y Its wow sanguine iliends had antidpa^
The Stock exhibition was highly creditable
as a beginning, while in the agricultural
and industrial departments there was much
to encourage persevering effort upon the
part of the organization.
Hie Fair of the Ladies' Department was
held in the Palmetto Hall at night, and
rarely have we seen within its walls a larger
collection of the beauty and worth of
our District. Through the liberality of the
Indies of the villago a handsome supper was
enjoyed at 8} o'clock, and ample justice was
done to the banquet.
About 10 o'clock tho committee on Fan
cy Work made their report, awarding a
number of premium*, when the company
separated, ?eil pleased with the enjoyments

It will be remembered that the dispoei
<ion of tlio Washington Light Infantry
Walking Cane was deferred (without good
reason, as we believe) to this'occasion. The
ladies who contributed to the purchase of the
Cowpeu's Battle Ground deposited their bid
lota, and the votes were counted by n committoo
composed of A. T. Cavia and David B
Duncan. Twenty-one vote* were given in
of which Mr. T. Jarinnn Elford had eleven
The cane was then presented to him, in presence
of the whole company, by Simpson Bobo,
Esq. in a neat speech, and was received in
an expression of gratitude tremulous with
honorable emotion
We have no time this week to particularize.
The official report and premium lisl
will be published next week, when all oui
friends will learn what was shown, what
done, aud who got the .prizes.

A New Act at the Circus.?Dnn Bice,
the Clown, is one of the funniest fellows we
ever met- His jokes in the ring always
convulse the audience with roars of laughter,
and his tricks are truly sidetracking.?
In a social circle he in a complete bon vivant
and a good boon companion, full of wit, sto
ncs, <xc.?out a talo he tolls ,ot himselt, anil
his manner of telling it, is the persouifica
tion of the ludicrous. He tells it in tint
way : One night as I was exhibiting my
celebrated horse Kxcelsior, I asked the horse
If* was no. his best friend. "Not by a
d d sight," said the horse, shaking his
head. Around I looked, thinking that
some of my follow showmen had answered
?hat ?o one wjv? neur. 1 looked hard at
the horse, and told liiin lie should have half
bushel of oats for I.is supper. "Where will
you get them from,'* said the horse. I was
awfully scared, gave his horseship a cut, an<l
off [ rau, the home after me, tail ntul main
a flying, mouth open shouting, "Stop Dan
JticK or I'll bite you." I was sure 'twas
the devil after me?and devil sure enough
it was ?for who should I see but Wyman
Ike Ventitoquist, who had been up to one
of his trick*. The mystery was explained
and I returned to the ring quite crest fallen,
to think how I, l)ttn Jiice, the Joker, had
been sold.
The Descendants or Franklin.?There
are no tualo descendants of the family of
Franklin to perpetuate his name. The celebrated
Professor Ihiclic, who has been spo1

Franklin living," is one of many groat
graud-children. Two of his grand daughters,

children of tho Doctor's daughter Sarah,
Mrs. Dache. Mrs. liache was the mother
of four sons and three daughters, ail of
whom had children, and the descendants in
the lliiid and fourth degrees arc numerous.
The oldest male descendant now living is
Dr. Franklin ilnchc, of Philadelphia, eldest
son of Dr. Franklin's eldest grandson, P. F.

"Politics are at a fearful height, women
and children partaking of the
general enthusiasm; but I am glad to
aay ine union leenng 13 uppermost 1:1

is sure to prevail. There is a
hirge foreign vote in the State, more

on.the national side and op}?osed to all

hero that Gov. Geary is rapidly establishing
peace in Kansas, and all parties
unit? in ascribing to him just and honorable
sontimcnts. .Peace in Kansas is
sure to insure peace to tho Union.?

wife on Wednesday last was in

Intending to be absent for twq weeks
trust that our natrons will excuse anv and

I forget it. Our kind neighbor of the 'Patrii

we would ask the loan of his " dagger." (f)

in order to supply the demand Messrs.

will end with the publication in today's

Wo spent a large portion of the day on
Saturday last, at the pleasant little village
! of Cokesbury, situated about a mile and a
half from Hodge's Depot in Abbeville. Tire
1 object of our visit was to organize tlw See
; lion of Cadet* of Temperance at that place,

books for the government of the same. A

! A friend who is now, snbbfill) after sabbath
preaching the everlasting gospel in our
midst, tells us that a littlo society of Cadets
at Cokesluiry was the first to which he
ever attached himself, and to it he dates his
first effort in the cause of Temperance. Who
knows but tbnt many others will come out
' from the ranks of those now there, to fill our
pulpits ami many important places, and each

The process docket was quite small, and no
cases of importance appearing upon the isdocket,
but few persons were in attendance.
We made the acquaintance of the
gentlemanly editors of the /frmnernnd Prrst,

CoLCMiiia, S. CM Oct. Otli, 1858.
Mr. Editor?Hnsine** of importance
pressing heavily on ns, has prevented n?
from writing to you for several weeks.?
Hereafter we will endeavor to be more attentive
and punctual, and furnish you with
an epistle every other week, if not oftener.
The announcement last week, of the sud
den death of Mr. Taber, fell sadly on many
hearts. Whatever opinion our citizen*
might have entertained in regard to his political
opinions, still all honored and esteemed
him?all viewed him as one of the most
talented and promising young men iu the
whole Stale. His death, too, at n period
when his services were mostly needed, occasioned
much gloom, and created a warm
sympathy for his family, "ficqtticse in
jtacc, nobillissitne fratcr /**
The health of our city is quite good at
present, although the sudden changes in the
weather, which have recently occurred, have
caused sonic cases of sick/icsa. Still in proportion
to its population, Columbia is the
! healthiest city iu the Union,
j The candidates for the House of llcprej
tentative* from Richland District have acted
nobly in the campaign soon to l?e ended.?
No instances of corruption or bribery have
occurred, and the stain upon our noble District,
is about to be removed. There has
always been much exaggeration in regard
to the Richland elections, hut there is no
doubt but that unjust means have sometimes
been resorted to, in order to aid can
didntes.
To-day's "Timt** contains a full account
of the brook's demonstration at Ninety Six
on Friday. From all accounts, it was a
' grand affair. A correspondent ot tlic New
Vork Herald was present to report the
speeches delivered. A number of our citi
zans went up to tho celebration and returned
the sAine evening, well pleased wiih the
j trip?as well as with the speeches, barbncue,
and company.
Wo hear it rumored thai an effort will be
made at the next session of the Legislature,
to remove the Citndil Academy from
Charleston to Columbia. We hojte that
such a plan will bo adopted, as will unite
the Arsenal and Citadel?placing the two
tinder one organization. Tho Cadets hare
a "dress parade" at tho Arsenal every Fri
da)' afternoon which is witnessed by numerous
visitors. The gentlemanly deportment
of the Cadets and tbeir strict inilitnrv
- ,? ^
bearing have rendered tiiem quite popular
with our citizens.
The exercises of the South Carolina Col1
lego were resumed on Monday. All the
students have not yet returned, but will be
present in n day or two. The standard of
scholaiship, already to high, is to be retrod
by hereafter attaching values to competition
and declamation, just as to recitations in the
several departments. Candidly speaking,
we think that the "average'1 now required
to snake one "rneritei ions" should not be
raised any higher.
The Court of Common Pleas for Richland
District is now in Scaaion?having
commenced this morning. Judge Glover is
presiding. The docket is full, but few criminal
case* nro to be tried?moat of them for
assault and battery.
The weather is very pleasant; warm day*
and cool nights abound, and the recent cold
spell which visited us, has entirely vanished.
Yours truly.

Much injury hat been effected by hetny 4
appropriations o?-lhe public money to objects j
of internal improvement in which the few
are benefitted, to the prejudice of the beat j
interest of the many. This is all wrong.
No important investment of tho public
funds should be made without first obtaining
the sense of those who are taxed to pay it,
as to the expediency of the object for
which it is to be applied ; and whether it is r
to benefit equally all who Lave contributed
to its accomplishment.
i know an instance in Greenville District.
| where a j>ortion of our fellow-citiaens were in- (
; fiucnced to subscribe to the Greenvillo and j
! Columbia Railroad, with the distinct understanding
11 nit it whs to run vin of LanI
reus C. II., and along the ridgo by Col.
J William McNeeleyV, to Greenville C. II.?
j liut instead of that it whs located on anoth|
cr route, distant from these subscriber*, to i
! the total low of their money ; the almost i
total destruction of their trade and heavy
bills of costs, hence the great necessity that
the people should know first what is to become
of their money, and how tlicy aro to
be benefitted by it, before they let it slip out 1
of their own fingers.
No innovation should bo made in any t
matter by the Legislative authority without
I first taking the sense of tho people nt the
ballot box upon its expediency or inexpedi- .
crev ; and it is also tho duty of every oue
entrusted with matters in which the lights
and interests of tho people arc concerned, to
regularly give nn account of their stewardship,
and then- if it should be fouud thai .
their course has not been approved by the
people they should nt once resign tho trust, I
j and no longer desiro it. There aro many ^
, matters in Law that rcquiro amendment
which will coino up at the ensuing
session that will demand nil tho ability
and nerve of tho delegation of the upper di- j
vision of the State to correct. If sent there 1 (
