FOR PRESIDENT: v> HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. tftiR VIOE-PRESIDElSfT: :; B. GRATZ BROWN, v OF MISSOURI. *[Mii3ii'-r>'.'j_.?- - -.'. - fix. Auditor, Fdwin F. Gary is out in a second letter under date of October 2"d, . iu which the" following statements occur that ho held on to his oliicc until .' v was ejected by the Governor; with a view "to nth* one fcioife*pWmf to the ftfet that this people have no right to indiscriminately link the word thcif with the name of him whom they are pleased to term carpet bagger;" and "as to the men who made me what the Unit n terms liberal oilers. I will eay that feelings of a personal na ture make mc reluctant to point out the men." We understood, from the tenor of Mr. Gary's first letter,' that his stand was taken in behalf of South Carolina and not carpet baggery to establish, the ho&-' eety of which tribe it would take a'lifo long sacrifice of many Garys howsoever honest thoy might be. But, for whatever purpose this honest stand may have been taken Against villany, are we to under stand that loss <rf office has aroused- per sonal feelings in the Ex Auditor which prevent him from carrying out the war, to the exposure of villains individually to theiustsensurcof honest men ? Can Mr Gary claim at the hands of South Caro lina the credit of honesty, while stating that he knows one or more rascals, from exposing whom he refrains through "feel Jngsofa personal nature?" Arc those', feelings ferroW- feelings ? Or, if ndT/what others should make him so wondrous kind ? This seen** to ns a most natwrnl inquiry. Wc were pfert'scff rft Mr Gary's first move and hope sincerely that he w ill car ry out Ids good work for the benefit of tho rotate; while he will in that way (by winch he can alone do it ) establish his own charatcr as nn honest man. We would like to have all dishonest workers spotted, so please let t'ts lrave their names Mr. Gary. - - mm ? *?W\ We were very much pleasad at the pleasant ball which came oil'qt the close of our Countv Pair. Tho music was pleasant and there was a very full attend ance of pic stint and pretty young ladies. The ball passed oil well and every body who attended seemed to have gotten the 'pleasure which they wore in pursuit of. . The great success of this effort lends us to express the hope 'hat j- Pair Ball will be an annual Institution. We never could understand the oppo sition which some people have to dancing as u harmless amusement. We look upon it as the healthiest and most agreeable of all parlor amusements. We always thought that the popular parlor amuse ment of riddle making developed a spuri ous and demoralizing egotism in the par ty propounding, and the Sphynx to our mind was anything hut an agreeable de formity, and her suicide was a sample of most ungovernable pride and temper. Wc ' _ -? * >:>Y~-i+~-'tr ? t lady friends turning up their hcsls irr tflQ : air to see which ono drittle- FortUhc favor with our choice. Cards encourage; and foster a dangerous taste for gambling as do every other parlor game wo ever saw,-unless it' be conversational cards, Which are simply nbstirri.' Now we are willing to' gVtnt that Conversation- add' reading arc the w?\*.t [ improving of nil cum-titht domestic' C-lYi ploy incuts: hut even it it. we're uni flit1* case that nature rccpiires ociuisional rusj pile in \Sivicty, yet .-molj.. variety shouhl bo resorted to for the sake of health, Vnu.-cu lar exercise, ami exhllir-atiou. Nur is ij^^^nrulizing as some say, a' d as at first sight ifcmfcy ?ppewr, wl?e? wer sec a handsome lino dnsh'mg man, tako through the 1ua7.es of a* bewildering wait/, sonic beautiful and graceful woman. Wo say that the proximity is dangerous; but it is in reality no', as nearly so,; as .when after teh dunce the parties retire to the piazza in the moonlight or in the dnrkl There is more food for a pliilo.mpher in! a nance than is generally known. "Wo know of nothing that has so itnuK-d-inte ?;tl; ? ?'. #.: o'j ri, an effect upon one s inner nature as music, ami under its influence one shovs more of himself than at any Other time: I We will take tho man of auy profession: i the orator's tong?o is most clocpicnt j under the inspiration of inufic the sol dier's heroism is carried tD self sacrificing* patriotism by tho martial strahl-, and the purest fukk of the Christian monies to Ilen'verV iii the soft strain of David's Harp. To desend to the practical, if any oncl desires he can estimate t|ib true calibre of every man in it, and ho goes to a ball i'of that purpose It matters not whether, they be dancing or not, he can tell the morosCj the gentle, the rough, the polish ed, the hbnest/the false, tho indifferent the lover. ' -*9p ? . As for the diicct demoralizing tenden cy of dancing per se, there ^$0-110. Hut that it can be abused we'ttfr" hot deny j'only if We wished* to demoralize any ac quaintance, which Gotr~ forbid, sevora! otlier common practices among men and women, suggest themselves as mure, available methods. We hope to see a dance every year. "W11?T f Know ahout" THE F AI R. vving borrowed one dollar, United' States currency, commonly called "green backs," from a rashly confiding lriend, 1 invested tho same in the purchase of a green ticket, Which i^ft** told would take me 'ri and out fhe fair for "the four sea sons," The yellow tickcts-'being cheap sort of concern, only good for about a week or *o. Proud of rffy we*-*? purchase, at precisely fttlf-past >0 a. m.y \ walked np to the ftMe^ s?rc that the pt^-jos.-ion of this ticket mtfrt be known from my walk, without any necessity ofehowing it. To my surprise I was halted at the Sate a ruffian with ft led ribbon in his but tun hole, and two pistols in his belt and a luuskct over hrs .?-hotihler. He hade me halt! I looked up at him mildly and recognized J?yncr. I was surprised; I ! but he seem , d proud of his military air and trappings. So I only wunk one re-.j prnuchfui wink at him, and showed hint my green ticket. He sai l "all right," and itdo the inclosure I marched. Fear ing lest- iny nerves might become tin .-tiling by unheard of, uuib unexpected 1 sights, /lushing on me suddenly, i deter-' mined to prepare myself by degrees,1 "drawing it mihi" on but-djor things of no great importanee first, and so going on up by degrees, 111. til I could stand tin-' d.stnnyed, comparatively, in the very . presence of the. magnificent specimens of huintin ingenuity and skill which, 1 was' told, were stored in the building before nie, Well, then, carrying nut Ih'w theory, 1 sauntered towards certain pens or .-stalls' where the prize animals were kept. The first stall eontaihen three "Kith amend ment" sheep, Clcar'y not genuine, be- ' cause they had no wool, So that was fraud No. 1. They looked rather iikc a cro>s between a buck rabbit ami a long , tailed goat, They were kept apart from 1 the woolly kind, ami appeared hurt there- . at, and looked reproachful.

I did sc*-?:/ iuu'd to climb, for T.didn't see any one g<t up ?high enough to show 'more than the A il ,ity with which he eotiM slidedowi. aguiu. Next I went into tho stables' * The sight or the horses' did not astmish melnto anything even bordering on convulsions. 1 saw one brood marc with a little a.ttle coif; was informed the mare \\;i.< pmt there as n spcinicn of fcr.uI cues'* and docility' ?a^ one gentleman in raptures ai>->nt the close coupling (so be called it) of the colt. This seemed to be a sign of ft good colt'. 1 didn't know about that; gentle man put his hand on colt to examine .the "coupling;" I heard n sharp gnashing to gctlter'fji'Welb/mni sn"? the niafe'i two bind feet uy'if/close proximity to get: tic inanV head; saw gentleman retreat v'tth nearly his afril bit oil' and his head all but caved in. Ho seems satisfied 9V to the "coupling." Thotlght there nuts'. ?.hyo beert some mistake made about the ''do cility" part. Having seen all of these wondcm.on tho outside, I felt justified in sunpiir-nig my nerves prepared to undergo any {tifen amount of shocks from the sight.- oijthe inside. Yet i had my hiisgjyihgs, Itav ing heard such lit'couuts at the splehlo'r and grandeur "f the interior of the tjm ple. I went up the steps and enVefcd the first room. This was the mostet und turkey and duck and pigeon room, sud very lull it was of these articles ot; In tnestic economy. 'I hey were all in ihw cages, and over each cage was hour a bed quilt, County made, of brilliant, uul gorgeous pattern, which added to fie effect incxpre.^ibly, and kept the ttnjrYo roosters crowing in a most idiotic side. 1 sighed as I admired these heauinul birth, und wondered how they'll lnlik w itiiout feathers and roiisteil. 1 wanL'd one ov \r\<> of the fittU-st: b?t i\l]otlk:r i uliian stood near with a knife and "istfd, aiidPsnid : "Hands oll'."

He didn't ask nujir*; but fr?, w ned at in*, whereat I wond?red, but walked on. lly-the-by, the commit tee table ill that room was coveret? with a bed ?p'filt. I suw that innen anyliow*. ; The first tnhlc L < nmu to bad a lot of vug etables und fiuiis?, all up'jiarently lit "for food; and whnt ndded? nwtcji"tr> -their tempting appearance, was a canopy bung ing grdeefully overt the table/ itrn&r of eighteen bod quilts, si) arranged as to hang on pi'thcr side hi ilust bewitching festoons. Kach quilt was inlaid with patch work of red and blue mid 'green, most curiously worked in; and each quilt was made in this County. The next table was covered with Indian corn, upland rice, Chinese ochra and quinces; nnd-Au stralian cucuhibcrs aiid KtKiopin?vflin ders; all raised in this- Comity,- besides ' about one-half peck of legal potatoes i (gptca? what tho.?c nrc). At each of the j four corners of this table stood twelve I tall sticks of sugar cane, each stick proutl ' ly supporting a patch bed quilt'of ck i (piisjtc and gay design and pattern. The tliird tnble groaned under the weight of an infinite number of bottles of domestic wine and preserves and ciYxe*. Near it stood four rtiei7, detailed as a special guard; each with a bed quilt wrnpjtyl I around him, and a new musljot in his ! band. I made a dash franticallv at this table, and1 came near being run through with a bayonet for my pains. Nothing but my presence of mind saved inc. I slipped behind a bed qfiilt (there *vcro a nOmhfcr around this table ) which received tho bayonet instead of myself. I got Sired and hungry; walked back to the committee room; with faint hopes. This ?was about 1 o'clock p. in.; peeped through the glass door again; saw the same com mittee man eating and drinking still; lie frowned at me again (thin time he had a bed quilt wrapped tvrbffrnr hiiuyl sifJ ' stalled for the bthVr side; soon got mixed I up in machinery, and ploughs, and llv catchers, and false teeth, and harrow, nndTioes, and buggies, and bed quills: AVV tkesb"articles were overhung w't'n itummerahie Ipatcli worte *h -i ?rVrVfcj ?>r I livelymml grotesque pattens, w/.Vc-h ; wav.cd to hud Fro in the gentle breeze, Vila: that glorious emblem ot' liberty1 (?> fa *t'aV?5 wnd stripe.', <-n Ml? of rlrily.

I didn't sec any music. Went up to the oral of tho room; I was informed that here I would behold specimens of the nf/c aits, which woi/m actually stun me. I saw ''the Father of his Country" pinned up against a lonely bed quilt, and surrounded on every side .by these cmhfcnns of domestic comfort, in place of the old humbug flag which lie h?tUuid around hin'i so* huig. rikI of which lie bus been tired, no doubt, long since. \ have no doubt the old gentleman found the quilts far more comfortable these chilly nights, and there U no nonsense, or chip trap about them. Four o'clock p. m.; wandered back, faint and weak from hunger to thecl'lllfnittec room, peeped ilif ho chflngejreoinmittec man *till outing and drinking and fiowning at'me. Met a friend; asked him if that was always the wu - at lairs? He said : 'Oh, yes! that committee man was the general tas ter.

Diving under a noble curtain o.p bed quilts, 1 was about lostart forborne, when the same friend suggested : ' (>ne dozen on the shell." 1 woke to life instantly, and didn't refuse, He guided tne, with, some difficulty, through a lane of bed quilts w hich led us after a while into a perfect labyrinth of the same, in which,jn*t as I was making up my mind to sleep, lost for the nigh', ho lifted up a glorious speci men, covered with irysterious n^nrcsjcim libigly embroidered in all the colors of the rainbow, and several others too; and behold we found ourselves face to face ?vvrtU u & 2J??sf the. inimitable mmmm-_-? ? . - . ?-?,i 11 inTMl MB in l ~^MBhM recover from my surprise, or wink three times, had me on fhe outside of a dozen luwousi? bivalves..
