The time is near at hand when tlio varioas agricultural exhibitions t?ke place throughout tlic country, and from the signs of preparation, ami the notices of tbe newspaper press, it seems that these orgB?ir.atio>v? ure regarded with a constontly increasing interest. The formation of the first agricultural society in the United States, is of recent date, and now besides tbe national society, it appears that there are no h"8s than 22 State Societies, and 800 eonnty associations in the Union. Of these State Societies, 16 bold their exhibitions du ring the present month. The United Stated Agricultural Society holds its Fair for the present year in Chicago, opening on the I2th in?t. niul closing on the 17th. The preparations are being inrwTe on a grand scale. The expenses of the Fair are estimated at $17,000, of which $10,000 was required to fit up tho grounds.? $15,000 have been offered in premiums by the Society, and besides, there are special premiums offered by private citizeus and association?. Whilst the number of these associations have been rnpidly on the increase, various sug* gestions have been made to i^reafe their practical utility. Tiic design is not simply to nttrac-t a crowd and to gratify personal vonity, but to benefit tho tiller of the soil; and llnllcA tl\A lU'iwIllAiSnn ??.* ft ~ \ A product*. and njtrieulUrral implements, (or pub lie competition must be primary objects, and every confidence must be felt in the competency and impartiality of the awarding committees. Every industrial interest should be represented, ami always with reference to the development of productive power. With os production has not kept pace with consumption, and owing to tlio deterioration of lands in the older States, and the diversion of capitnl to other employments, the ratio of increase of the agricultural products of the United States is below .that of tlie increase of population, territorj*, commerce, manufacturers, internal improvements, <fcc. Theje things demand the att ..ni A 1 c? " UUVlCHCr. Iii our last isrite, wc published tlie rules prepared by the Executive Committee for the regulation of our District Fnir on tlie 13th and 14th of Octolter, herewith we append the rules for exhibitors at the 41li Annual Fair of the State Society? to be held on the 8th, 9th, 10th and lltli of November next. The Secretary's Office will be opened At Colunhia on the 1st November, for the purpose of receiving entries. Persons intending to become exhibitors at the next Fair, arc desired to forward th'.'r entries to the Secretory, It. J. Gagk, Columbia S. C-, alter the 1st of November, which will greatly facilitate business, and prevent confusion in the llalls, and on the Grounds of the Society, anil disappointment to exhibitors, which is chiefly the rrsult of delay. All exhibitors at the Fair must have their animals or an.icies cnrcrod nt me .-secretary# omce before taking tlicm into the enclosure. All who intend to ccmpetc for the premiums of the Society, must liave their articles on the ground and entered at the Secretary's office at or before fire oclwk on Monday evening, the 7th of November, without fail ; so that they:may hf arranged in their renpcctive departments, and in readiness for examination by the Judges on Tuenday morning, the 8th of November, at nine o'clock. Animal* miiy be entered at any time previous to nine o clock on Tuesday morning. Ladies are particularly requested to attach cards to their articles naming the department in which they wish them to be classed and if not embraced by any of the departments in tlio Premium tyst, class them as Miscellaneous Fancy. 4: . * A The regulations of the Society miMfc be strictly observed by exhibitors otherwise the Society will not be responsible for the omission of any article or animal not properly entered under its regulation*. No article or animal entered for a premium enn he rt?nu?vpd or trilcen nwav tiafor* fhnptnaA of the Exhibition. No premium will be paid on nnimals or articles removed in violation of this rule. All articles and animals entered fur exhibition inust have cards attached, with the number as entered at the Secretary's office : and exhibitors, in all cases, shall obtain their cards previous to plncing their artisles or animals on the Fair Grounds. All persons who intend to offer animnU for sale during the Fair shall notify the Secretary of min intention At the time of entry.

Our exchanges as far South an New Orleans, give an account of the briUiantcelestial phenomenon, which was presented to thesight of a number of our citizens, on the morning of last Friday, between 1 oc'clock and 4, A. M. Like many others, we were fast asleep at the time, and missed a sight of the brilliaut spectacle, and our first intimation of it, was a dispute the ucxb uny, ub uie true ounracier 01 ine pneuomenoD. The brilliancy and steadiness of the light and it being seen bo far Soutb, led some to doubt whether, it was the Aurora Borealu. Oar exchange* 89 agree in calling i% and *e supposa that they are correct. The light was so brilliant as to enable one to read prdinary print, and it so nearly resembled day-light aa to deceive many of ocr citizens. The Servants were up in many places attending to the ordinary datitt of the day. One of the most singular effects of the phenomenon, is its influence upon the telegraphic wires as detailed in lite following paragraph, and which may settle the mooted question of its.true nuture: Wabbin&to*, September 2.?This morning, one 6f the roost startling aa well m singular electrical phenomena occurred on the telegraph lines throughout the'United States that haa ever taken place io this' country. A series of currents of electricity, entirely independent of the battery, teem to have taken possession of the wires, and to anoh. an extent tfeai the National Telegraph line were a&Lnallv enabled to send messages from New York to ftiltsburg, Pennsylvania, correctly, without the use of a particle of tho galvanic battery?using this independent electricity as an ordinary battery. This is a phenomenon, we are assured, which haa never before taken place, ever among the many freaW on the telegraph wires. Thia extraordinary freak, wee doubtless owing to the Aurora Uorcalis, aa the wires were paralyzed during ita pre taleuoe on Seoday night tKete same lights wore shining brilliantly gner one o'clock tnia mormog, it la fair to pre* time that*the phert6meb* of to-day maay be Attributed to the Mtoe etuw.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE OE0QN06Y OF ABBEVILLE DISTRICT. mi HKH 1L CampOIU>l. Skkvet So. C/.? ? August, J HoU. > | Mr. Editor: Having cursorily noticed the various rocks of the Savannah half of Atibeville, we may ) now aevote a few words to the minerals of economic importance. Gold ia so satisfactorily represented by 1 Dorn's mine, that dthough there are a number of other occurrence of that metal, itia scarce ly necessary just ntt^ to nllude to them, for | miB article nu already outgrown ita intended ' j dimensions. A dentfiption of tliis tuine was ( given some time since in the Farmer and , Planter, and I believe you liave furnished < your readers with extract*. The only matter in connection with gold to which I should additionally desire to call your attention, is the , fact that immediately south and south-east of i Lowudesville there occurs a body of precisely the same slate as at Dorn's mine, striking somewhat north of east. Of course uiy time is too | limited to have been able to institute any underground explorations sufficient to settle the 1 economic question suggested beyond dispute.? ] To enter into any miniog operations for the purpose of actually determining the facts as to < the quantity of gold present must t?e left to | those whose interests are more immediately | concerned. My services iu such cases must re- , main indicative; or the duties, labors and expenses would be incalculable. I mention this 1 on account of those misconceptions which occur now nnd then. In the case here referred to there are siliceous beds or veius resembling those of Dorn's and similar mines. They abound too in the cubiform remains of ironpyrites, and are thus of promising appearance, although I do not know that any attention hag heen nniil to them ?t ?I. -- r ? ...... , VMV^.g.l II! the same rock formation gold lias been worked to a small extent north west, or rather west of Lowndesville. Lead is found in a rein near Parson's Moantain on the land of Mr. Isaac Kennedy. This vein belongs "to a class which invariably in depth leadsto copper. Copper will I expect also be found in a vein of Mr. Wm. Hall's in the extreme northern part of your district, not far fron^locky ltiver. This vein also belongs to the Carolina Type, (see Report III.) and as far as it was possible to judge from the mere outcrop is of a very promising nature. Mr. Hall has commenced underground explorations. ( While on tlie subject of copper, I would beg | you to permit me through the columns of your paper to correct an Erroneous impression?to me, I admit, difficult to understand?which I observed in a recent notice of my lust Report in another journal By some very unnccount- ] able mistake it was suffused that I had assert- | ed our State to be separated from the cuprifer- ( ous region by the Blue Ridge, while I hajtp embraced every single occasion, which was afford- , ed me to express my conviction that good cop- < per veins on our aide of the Blue Ridge are far 1 more reliable'than those wljich are worked on its western side. The 8J|e Ridge is the dividing line between two grand types of cuprefirous veins, which I described as the Ducktown (Tenne?see) and the Carolina types? nuinn co|>ev;iaiiy uiuerent-, oitnoiigd uoilt con- < taining the some metal. The Ducktowu veins i n? fir as it ia possible to judge, of local forma- j thin (>n<l limited downward extent, while the ( Carolina veins belong to the class of persistent f or permanent veins. Tlie latter closely resent- I bles the most of the European copper vein*, ' wliich hare been worked for centuries. As ' yet the real ore which has been exported from ] Ducktowu in large quantities is merely deri- < ved from that portion of the veins, where the action of the atmosphere and of water has concentrated with a comparatively small space j the entire quantity of copper, which was orig- i nally diffused through a much greater space. It is what may be called a secondary ore. Be- ( low the action of corroding influences the unaltered copper ore is ao intimately mixed with i iron pyrites, that they liave not been able to ' moke it available. Nor is it at all likely that 1 even this poor ore will continue onward for f anj' great depth. The Third Report refers to "] lireenville sod Pickens Districts, and it was J stated only with regard to them, that cop- ' per had not yet been found in quantity.

This of 1 in virttw of a law pawed by the bet 1 egiaktore THE SLAVE TRADE. Tlie Mobile Register, whose editor, Mr. Forsyth, was recently eloetcd to tlie lower lioi;sc of tlie State Legislature, i9 one of the few papers of onv influence which advocated Lite reopening of tlie slave trade; but iipnn tliis work it has entered with remarkable zeal. The arguments employed are briefly compre hemled in the following-paragraph : "Slavery is intrinsically the cheapest form of labor ; but emmped a* it is at present and cnt nil' from the extei nal supply which every oilier remunerative labor attracts, it w now becoming (if dearctt. Nothing but our almost per? fret monopoly in the production of the most important staple of the world's commercc lias euabled us to pay such intolerable prices for labor. The average value of slaves is a little over one thousand dollars, say a capital representing an interest of eighty four dollars a year or seven dollars a month. The cost- of slave labor then is equivalent to a hire providing for food, clothing, little necessary luxuries, medical attendance, ?te., and still leaving a clear saving of seven dollars nor month. I? tln?r? i?ny country of tho world where unskilled white labor is so ln^lily paid!?Wherever, therefore, the laws of clinmtc permit tli? poor while ninn to till the soil, slave laltor at. its present cost comes in competition, with a labor infinitely less expensive, and is crushed l?y the mere effect of eeonomieal causes which no linmnn effort can control. But for the present anomalous condition of slave labor, removed from the operation of the laws of supply and demand, it would in its Inrti drive out unskilled free Inbor wherever the iici?ro could live healthily, and his geographical range extends much farther Northward than is generally Accepted. In the present condition of slaves labor, the laws of elimatc mean : where n staple will grow of such exceptional lucrative, ness ns admits of the payment of nn exceptionable price for labor; in the natural conditions of slave labor the laws of climate would mean : lohrrcurr the nnjro can live. THE CENSuToF 1860, In a little more thaiiaycnr the eighth census of the United States will have been tnkon. The first, ccnsus was had in 17'J0,and it showed a population little exceeding three millions. There is little or no doHhl that that of n?-xt. year will foot up a total of more than thirty millions! In less than a life?time the population ofthe Unite.! States has increased tenfold! The United State, can now, by virtue of population alone, tnkp rank willi ?!><> ..t powers.of Europe. The comparison is litis: Kiiscin, 70 millions. Austria, S3 millions. France. 30 millions. Oreat Britain, 30 millions. lMiijfn,' - - - - 17 millions. United States, SI million?. Our population is greater than tlx* British Isles, and is nearly equnl to that of France or Austria. It is nearly <lonl>lc that of Prussia. The men who nwide our'Constitution, wise as they were, little thought that in seventy years the population of thiscountry would l>e equal to that of the Empire from which it. separated I In less than forty years the United" States will liave one hundred millions of people.
