"T trust, sir, that the Cily Council, under

able to raise the sum of ?25,000, as proposed,
yet they have made r,o near an approximation
to it, in the'short time allowed,
that they cannot entertain a doubt that a
larger amount will bu raised during the ensuing
year. From the'-imperfect returns
which have as yet been made to them, it
is evident that an amount of funds at least
equivalent to $20,000 have been realized.
The citizens of Columbia,"at their recent
meeting, resolved, "That tbe City Council
fcf Columbia bo requested and authorized
to furnish suitable grounds and. buildings
for j,l\eus? of the State Agrioultura^Sotrity,
for the .purpose of holding their annual
meetings'^?and thus, by their zeal ami liberality
in the cause of agriculture, have
inefri tho just expectations of the Society,
and illustrated the propriety of their city
bojog selected aa the location of our State
Fain. Tho aid of the Council may be
fairly estimated at about Si 2,000. The
citizens of the-city a^jd-of the. district have
manifested a like commendable spirit and
raised the further sum of $2'500. Among

oecupies the inosJ,.;.j?rotnincnt position,
her ;citizi-ns having subscribed the large
amount of 64,600, which justly entitles hor
to be ranked as the banner district. From
other'distvicts, as far as returns have been
made, the further sum of ?2,500 -has been
received, which : make an ' aggregate of
available means amounting to $22,000.
Your Committee have mentioned these facts
for no purpose -of inyidbtis distinction.
Out with the hope that tliey may prove a
wholesomo stimulus to other districts, and
to excite inn. honorable ambition to see
which can do ;most' to advance the pros
porily of their State. Having said thus
much in relation to individual subscription,
we feel that wo should have.disehargod our
duties hut i in perfectly did we not advert
briefly to the subject of State aid. Your
Committee are fully satisfied that to give
that importance and extensive usefulness to
a State Agricultural Society, which our citzens
have a right to expect, our Legislature
will have to subscribe a permanent sum to
that institution, the annual interest of
which will amount to $3,000 ; jmd we feel
assured that this body, with its "^characterJcfl/i

additional members, and to enlist

Legislature in behalf of this important object.
All of which is respectfully submitted. |
