This Societ3*, says the Couxcrralitt, hold its annual meeting in this place on the 14Lh and 151li of this monlli. The first day was taken up in exhibition of Stock ?uid the reading of some few reports from Committees previously appointed. The show of Stock was considerably larger than last year. The premiums offered on horses were well contested. The second day was taken up with the annual Address before the Society, pronounced by Ja?. 1L Baxter, Esq., and t.lie reading of other reports. Mr. Baxter's address was entirely suitable to the occasion, a brief and forcible appeal to our plautcrs not to abandon their nativo soil in search of richer lands?that the fioii, not.yet exhausted, needed only their reeu perutive skill to render ifc, for a long time to come, a fruitful field of Agricultural labor. As this address was ordered to be printed, we shall make no further allusion to it. Among the premiums awarded at this Fair, we see that a silver cup of (1O.00, was AKsigued to Col. J. F.

To the well directed efforts and steady perst yerance of several of.our citizens at this poinl it was in a great measure owing, that tho fur ilier progress of th-e fire was here checked. IIn< it extended to the Corner Store ofthe Messrs White, it would have swept the lower portio p of the Village, inflicting immense loss. A1 r effort however, would have been unavailin but for the absence of winal. As it was, th I'rogrcss <u me name was very rapid ; nnd ii less than two hours, after the discovery of th lire, the long woo len range, comprising tli hotels nnd stores above named, (and with tli adjacent outbuildings) was a mass of Miiokin ruins. The progress of the fire at the upper end o the wooilen range whs stayed by the thic brick wall and the tin roof of the Ciranit ' Range, ntid by the active efforts ?>f several pul lie spirited men, who manfully stood upon th roof, and braved .aging flame.

In the excitement of the inomeii there was of course much mis-directed efforl and unnecessary damage done to furniture, nn goods, yet in ashorttime the most valuable ? the movables were deposited safely ujvon th opposite side of the public square. The removal of goods and merchandize xrn not confined to the burning range, but the o< cupnnts of the Granite llnnge adjoining to wi Messrs Branch ?fc Allen ; II.S. Kerr ; Israel ?

Ifolt 111K I.VI'KI'KMIKNT I'ltlJSS J A Reply to ' 'Old Fossil." Mr. Hill tor : Your last issue cuutuins nn intains nil interesting article from our oM friend ?who lins thought proper to assume the name of "I )hl Fossil." ? i.. it. - rr> i i? n ?<:ni. linn me inrsritjtr community the article to whjeh he refer#, hut not. exactly for that sort of "special notice," which he hns been pleased to bestow on it. We sent the same number el" the 'J'lrscnpr to some ten or twelve of llic Geological ikivait*, ami if they shonhl all lake the same "special notice" of us. ami of our effort, wu won 1<1 bccoim: n little too conspicuous. We have no objection, however, to on r friend's notice, but we have no iilea of "breaking a lance" with hint on the geological field. ?lie is a veteran knight and has been over the whole ground practically,?has seen the rocks and shells of which he speaks, or might exhibit in a passage at arms, whereas we have only noticed a part <>f the "speculations" of his broth or geologists,?we cannot speak from actual observation.? Alluding to "speculat ions," our worthy friend seems to v iew itx us dealing in thnt sort of commodity, because, |ici'li:i|)!<, our article was worded "Ueological speculations.*' 15ut we are to be understood an opposing tlie "speculations" of geologists whilst our own thought* arc to he viewed an founded on fact, or are deduced fairly from Scripture and common sense : me essay which -wnj sent to "UM Fossil," was the last of a scries. Wc were leil to write on the subject of Goology, l?y giving a favorable notice of an article in the Southern l'resliyterinii Review on "Geological speculation ifcc." One word brought on another, anil befoic we luid finisneil our lucubrations, we were found writing on our own account, leaving the Jtcuiew out of sight.?In our last article, the one sent to our esteemed frienil. we un#l?>rtook tn nrnrn llmt the fdsdiliferous strata, might have been formed fr??in tlie creation of man till the Dq. luge. The non-fossiliferous soil and rocks, (and the whole earth wnsof his character when created.) were created j?6t as we find thein, except that they may have been changed in pluces by "earth quakes, floods, nnd volcanic, or internal fires." The soil nnd rocks, Mr. Editor, over which you and I nnd our mutual friend, 1 "Old Fossil," walk ever}- day, isjust ns it was created, except that the surface lias been alter- ' ed by rains and other ngeneies. Tlic aame is 1 true of nil the upper District* of tliia State. We ( live in a "primary region." The sea lias never ' been over our suction of country since the com" ' tnand wns given, "let the dry land appear," { except the during the Deluge. If the world lias been in existence millions of age?, and ifa 8 section here and another there has been submerged time and again and fossiliferous strata 4 formed during every long submergence, it is 1 strange that our section always manugeJ to v > 1 i j .v. . 1 113 ucnu nui>ve >vaicr. I$M that it did, is evident from the surveys 1 r>f Messrs. Tuotnej and Lieber who fonnd no ' fossil remains in our upper Districts ; sueli remains, however, wbuhl have been fouud, if these Districts had ever been under water for an age during the "untold nge?." ? But the ocean hns been over many portions of our country, and many parte of tho world. Postiliforoua strain have been formed under the ocean in many placet, (not in overy pluce) of great thicknett. The question is, did it require millions of years t^forin the thick strata, or could they not ha*d been formed from the creation of man to the Delnge ? To prove this was the object 1 of the article sent to our friend. Dr. McCul- ' loch said thnt the fornatioc of strata, "at the I bottom of the ocean, i3 a work infinitely *lou>." 1 Other Geologists agree with the Doctor on this ' point, and we would too if strata were formed ' merely from the sediment of the rivers and oth- ' er-em-rents rnnuiug into the oceans from tho j continents. Geologists admit, as we showed in our arli- ' cle that millions on millions of tons of soil are ' carried into the oceans yearly hy rivers and ' other agents. It is hard to tell ho* thick the strata formed by tboso agents wonid become in 1 a thousand years. We contended however, e that the ocean itself it the great agent in the for- 1 nation of ttrata.?As far us wa have- noticed, ' the work of this great agent lias beep almost entirely overlooked by Geoldjjlsts. Every one * must admit that very thick strata must necessarily'bo formed by tbe ocean itselfin a thousand c ?r fifteen hundred y^ara(; if?o, th^n where is 1 the Bsc of risorting to tbe "speculation" ofmillions of ages to aecodnt for the thichieu of the ttrata 1 Our ifaa is a "new^dea" among Cfe- < vp??;> oVertlwow their "speculations" about the * w?14? great antiquity $?-,As many of jour r?a- , Ifff .*;?? lm*y.

These run < together, as they do on tint land, and form mighty rivcn?, which help to tear up the soil, and thus furnish sediment to be deposited in coinporatively quiet vales, and in this way inerenec tlie (liinkiiuti of the strata in certain flections, for the strain, be it remembered, ig riot equally tliick everywhere. Lastly, the vast nmotiut of shells, anil other fossil remains, vegetnhlc and anitnul, help greatly to increase the strata. Now add all these together?the millions on millions of tons of rocks and soils that are conveyed to the ocean yearly or daiiy, not, by the nances alone, lint l>v all the mighty rivers of the earth, aided l>y nil the small streams, and hy the torrents of rain that fall on the hills and mountains round the shore and sweep their B?il down within reach of the tides which hear it to the ocean bed,?then add the materials that are conveyed to the ocean hv the whelming billows that rush upon the beach and enrry a way capes, coast, and islands,?then add in<: materials, the vnst materials, thatnrc fur j n>shcd by the ocean itself rolling and rushing forever over its hills and mountain'*, aided I?y I t he Onlf Stream ami other currents?then add tlie shells and other fossil remains, and when all these nre united in the formation of strain, who will say with Dr. McCulloch that "the accumulation of materials in the liottom of the oeenn, is a work infini(rh/ slot" i" To douht the fossiliferous strata which wo find in this country and in Europe could have heen formed hy the above agciieics, anil others of which we are ignorant, in sixteen or seventeen centuries, or from the creation of Adam to the Delude, and if so, there is no call lor imagining that each division o f the strata required aires for its formation. We have now accounted for the tltirknr** of the strata, and that point, being Bet-tied many diflicultics connected with (icology must vanish. We have neither timt* nor inclination at pros ent (o discuss "(Joological speculations," and if we hail, we are not. verdant enough to attack our good friend, "Old Fossil," in his strong hold. ' 11.

Were it not for the singularity of its caption, I would not infer from llic article that it required any special notice from me. But I ain at a Kiss to perceive why I have been singled out by the caption, and attention directed to myself, in two papers of the District, because "persons living at a distance liuve censured the action of the Committee;* tore especially as I plead " not guilty" to any complaint or cause of action between the worthy Committee and myself. To prevent incorrect in. erences in this particular is the purpose of this iominunicntion. The Chairman's eommnniontinn?in il?* ?>,j? tance of wliich I tnkc no exception?and u few tutcinents from myself, will make the mutter insily understood. I " readily " accepted the uvitatiou to bpenk, which was extended to me vitliout restriction ns to subject. In fact, I went o Now IMnrket for the express purpose of renlering a reason for my vole for relieving the 3anks from the penalty incurred by suspension if specie payments. Soon after this iuvittttion vas given, I learned it would not be acceptable 0 all present that I should address the assembly in this question, as the Chairman stdtos "on tuch an occasion ; " that is, a discussion of such 1 question was not proper for the day. I could lot for a moment think of converting a civility o myself into an occasion of disrespect to others' md whilst such objections existed, felt it would ' x> an impropriety to spentc. As the hour of eleren approached, it occurrcd to mo as uwkward md embarrassing to state from the Aland my fnfeons Tor not complying with the invitation I tad Accepted. Kespect for the Committee augmented the course of .not appearing on the stand it all. This required iui application to the Commttee.
