Executive Committee of tue Aqr

oolumn we publish iilist of the names
of the Executive ComijniU-ee of the
Abbevillo Agricultural Society appointed
l?y the President iu pursuance
of a uroviaion of
s . vvuOVlbUHUII. '
The list should have been published
in our last issue, as also a notice of a
meeting called for last salc-da}', but
they were overlooked. A meeting, it
will be seen, has been appointed for
23d instant, at which time a general
attendance is earnestly . requested.
The President -writes encouragingly
of the prospecW in his section, and
with a littio effort On the part of the
Executive Comnittee,. we may obtain
all tbo best names in the District. It
i.4 a matter in which we are al interested,
whether farmers or not, Agriculture
is the mother of arts, and the
nurse of every other avocation in life.
xno larger tho membership, the
larger will bo the premium list, and
tbo more imposing the annual fairs.
Let us all put our shoulders to the
wheel. Lists may be found in the
office of the Secretary .at Abbeville
Court House, and he will be pleased
to receive the names of members.
Minutes of the S6uth Carolina
Conference.?We are indebted to the
Bev. Manning Brown, for the'Minutes
of the South Carolina Conference of
the Methodist EpiBCOpul Church, held
at this pTa.ee during tho past Fall. ' It
is a very interesting pamphlet of
forty-three' pages, and derives addi
tional interest from being tho record
of xmo of the most attractive meetings
which it was ever our nleannrn
to attend, anil which1 will long live in
the memory of the people of Abbeville.
It contains those lobching
biographies of Eoglish, and Spain, and
Foster, and Stacy,1 and Mo,tria, of
."the sacramental host of God'y
jsjcct" who died with their armor, on ;
a^d the simple recital of whoso faith

hours about-flflty negroes were onvoll- '

repuest that the order for the enlist*

or at least suspended. This was

Abbeville three days ago.
Abbeville at that time that the enlistment

in the contested Congressional Election
that thd "Great Caltimnialor"
was unable or unwilling! >to tell the
truth where whito men were in question
