OUR DISTRICT FAIR.
Tlin necessity of going to press at aa early
Lour on Thursday will prevent us from doing
more than giving a very brief account of the
Fair, which has been in progres* during the*
past two days. The Exhibition has been a
dctsided success, nnd has fur surpassed the
most sanguine anticipations of the friends of
the Society, both with regard to tho number of
persons present on the occasion, and the number
nnd variety of the articles upon exhibition.
The number present, wo have heard vorionsly
estimated at from two ttf three thousand per
fon?; and iu the variety and extent of the articles
exhibited, this Fair has been far ahead of
the usual District Fairs, and in many respects j
vrowld compare favorably with the Annual |
Stalo Fair in Columbia. In the dianlavuf finn I
. ' ~J I
horses," tliis exhibition, in tomo respects, even
surpassed that; whilst the samples of field 1
crops, and specimens of tasteful handi work
were every way worthy of comparison. The
Fair hns reflected the highest crcdit upon all
t-oncerned, and is truly matter of pride and
congratulation to all who are interested in the
general prosperity of the IMstrict. The success
>f the enterprise lias been in n great measure
?wlng to the real and energy of the President,
L'ol. J. F. M.\usn w.L, who has devoted himself
with untiring effort during tlio past few weeks,
to effect all the necessary arrangement*, and
impart It is own enthusiasm to others, lie has
[H'rsoniilly superintended the arrangement of the
jrvtind*, the erection of the buildings, and the
reception and distribution of the various nrtipies
sent, and the success of the Fair is a wellleserved
recompense for his labors.
The Fair Grounds, as is well-known to most j
^f our readers, arc situated about a half-mile |
from the Village, in ft South-easterly direction,
forming port of the premises of John II. Wil
'on, who has made a liberal donation of the
i.'c of the land to the Society. Approaching
>n the West, }ou enter an ample enclosure
ikirted around with the Stalls provided for the
rarious stock, whilst in the rear is the spacious
tud substantial building which has been crccrd
for the exhibition. It is capable of holdng
fifteen hundred persons, and during the
. 'air wns crowded to its utmost capacity. At
>nc end is the Speaker's stand, ?ml at the other
xtremity a gallery, which affords a view of
.lie interior, whilst the spacious bnlcony in
ront commands a fine prospect of the adjacent
jrounde. Here, within and without the buildug,

THE FATE 01* RTO loww vtiiwti*
The mystery which 1ms so long surrounded
he fata of Sir John Franklin's third and last
xpedition to the Arctic regions has been clearid
up by the return ot the screw-steamer Fox
o England. This vessel, which was sent out
hrough the perseveranoe and energy of Lady
Ynnkha, found at Point William, on the
rorth-west coast of King William's island, a
ecord of the abandonment, in April, 1848, of
lie famous Erebus and Terror, by their officers
nJ crew, and the departure of tli&stfr.vivorsof
he party, 105 in number, to Great Fish'River
)ue of these vessels wag crushed in the ice, and
he other driven on shore ; Sir John.Franklin
laving died about two month* previous to the
IWaster.
Franklin sailed with his party of 138 picked
vei? on the 12th of May, 1845 ; the last dispatch
roiri him was dated Whale fish Isl'aui in July
ullowiug, nnd he w?? last seen about the same
ime by a whaler. The ships wera desepled, it
iow appears, in 1848, and if the story related
ly the Esquimaux to Dr. Kae can be considered
'elinble, some of tlio survivors of tho nnrtv

THE WAB IN CHINA.
The correspondent of tlic Loddon Timet sayi
that, in 1'uria, it is pretty confidently aflhraei
that war, in China. is not so inevitable as at hai
been leaught to be. It is said that the expedi
tion will be sent out, but not for the immediat<
and unconditional commencement of hostilities
that it will hnvo the Ambassadors with it, ant
that, should these be received, and proper anc
amble satisfaction given for the Peiho affair
a conflict may be avoided. M. do Bourboulon'i
recall is said to be beyond a ?kJubf, and it ii
reported tliat ho will i.: mt.?inr
by A-nrililnry uian. In EupUad, the war fotei
does not appear to be so strong as it was on
the first rccept of llio disaster to British arms.
.Some of the English papers aro free io thcii
censure of the conduct of the British minister,
as provoking hostilities unnecessarily. The
English suspicion that Russia had a hand in the
recent trouble, appears to be entirely ground'
less. Russian journal* speak of the renowal
of hostilities with regret, and express a hope
that the four powers "unite their forces and
give a decisive anomaly nnd an obstacle to the
peogresa of civilisation."

?The foreign papers by the City of WnnhingIon
are received. They arc but one day later
I linn those by the Indian. We take the following
items of interest, from them :
Hie King of Naples has published a new decree,
extending to the 30th of June, I860, the
period fort lie fr?e admission into his dominions
of wheat, flour, nnd oilier articles of food. It
appears from this this fact that the harvest in
kingdom of the Two Sicilies is not so good as was
expected. Tho prieo of flour is dearer in some
parts of Spain than in Paris. It is quoted in
Barcelona 4Of. the kilogrammes and iu I'aris
at 34 f.
The Saeivd College of Rome lias met and oppointed
17 liisliopa. In the minimi allocution
of the Pope; Ilis Holiness alluded to the Naliounl
Assembly of ISulogna, and referred t?i
the censure expressed by that Assembly against
the Papal Government. In conclusion, he expressed
a hope that the Koinagnese will return
to their allegiance to the Iloly See.
The Titm-a and Daily News have eaeli a leader
on the capture of Schamyl, which they regard
is calculated to extend the influence ol
litissia in l'ersia and the East.
The Impcriul French Guards are' to be increased
from 40,000 to (>0,000 inen.
The Princess Clotildo wus expected to visit
Turin shorly.
Important from Wasiiixgtoh.?The New
York Herald's special dispatch from Washing
ten has the following, under the date of the
11 in mat:
"It is understood tlint the British minister,
Lord Lyons, has received a peremptory and
important di>*ptttcli from his government., demanding
explanations from our government ol
the Course of General Ilariiey in the Sun Juan
affair, to which the Secretary of State is now
preparing a reply, which will vindicate fully
our rights, and <lo htled* cover the whole
ground of the controversy to the satisfactiou ol
the American people. The whole matter will
be laid before the President on bis return tomorrow.
"A communication has been received from
the British government, through Lord Lyons,
requesting that their acknowledgment may
be conveyed to Mr. Ward, our Minister to Chi'
na, Commodore Tatnall. for their friendly conduct
at the affair of Peiho."
The E-ectioss.?The result o? the late elections
indicates generally a triumph for tb?
Black Republicans. The New York Day Book
says that the Democrat leaders talked "squatter
sovereignty" hence the result. That paper
aays:

Arkansas Cotton Crop.?The Ilerald, printed
at Camden<iu the Southern part of Arkansas,
pponkine of the crop in that part of the State
eays: "The present nrop, it is said~by those who

A 1 otter in the New York Journal of Commerce,
dated Little Rock, ArkqttAs, Sept 20th,
ays: "It may interest New Yorker* to know
(hat the yield of eotton in Arkansas Valley Its*
never exceeded the promise of the preoent Mason.
Heavy pickings ara now made, and the

To her the voyage of lift* hstd scarcely begun,

yeuf of Ilia age. It it indeed with pain,
1 that wo record the death of one so young, who
was stricken down just at the threshold of manhood,
and too, at a season of life wheu the prosj
pecta and anxieties attendant upon the young,
are recognized with most interest, uud when the
p duties and responsibilities that wait upou inaturer
years, were just beginning to be truly felt.
The subject of this notice was a young roan,
> than whom none bud more warm and congenial
, friends, and by the finer impulses of human na
lure, he was ever actuated towards his fellowI
mun.
In character, he was upright ami obliging,
possersod naturally of a generous heart, and
strictly adhered to no principle but thut which
characterized the true gentleman, llis death
waa truly a triumphant death. Heaven was
a theme upon which he loved to dtyell, and his
eternal future waa the chief concern of his soul;
that his spirit is at rest with th? angels of God,
there is none can doubt. Friends who had gathered
round his dyiug pillow,'aud watched his
| calm unruffled t>row, his placid look, and heard
his voice in prayer, his song in praise, doubt not
but he had experienced that peace which passeth
| all understanding. But from our midst he is
gone, leaving behind him many frteuds, a fond
wife, aud an infant son, and while w* moyrn we

EXTRACT FROM PRESENTMENTS OF
GRAND JURY AT OCT. TERM,
1858, TO WIT;
" Tho Grand Jury of Abbeville District beg
leave to report that they have examined the roporisof
the Commissioners of Honda and Bridges,
of the Commissioners of the I'oor and tho Commissioners
of Public Building', and would report
in reference thereto that the Commissions of
the Treasurers of suid Hoards are too great, and
enormously disproportional to the services
rendered. In tho first place they would take up
the report of the Commissioners of Roads anil
Uridjjes, and here we find the (;?iiimi?sinin nf
llio General Treasurer amounting to over Four
Hundred Dollars, ami litis amount added to tlio
Commissions of the Sub-Treasurers, makes I lie
amount which the District pays for receiving
and disbursing the Public Money in that department
alone, near Five Hundred Dollar* and
that fur service* which any good uccodutaui
could discharge iu a few hours."
"Neither is the Commissions t'leir only income,
bo liberally have (hey assessed the District,
that it seems they frequently have largo amount*
of cash on hand, soinetimes so Ioiijj as twelve
months, without accounting for uny interest, for
I instance the General and Sub-Treasurers of the
Commissioners of Ilouds and Uridgrs, hnve 011
hand at this time cash to the amount of $3,500,
the Commissioners of the l'our ijl.bUii.yO cts.,
and the Commissioners uf I'uldic Buildings
$528.10 cts., none of which rectus at this time
to Ue needed, and may not be needed for months
to come."
j " In view therefore, of the largely increased,
and increasing expenses of the District, we would
: suggest that the Commissions of the said Treas
urem no reaucea io a per cent... one per cent. for
I receiving and I percent, for dishuiniivg."
" We would also report ^hnt neither the General
Treasurer and Sub-Treasurer of the Commissioners
of liouris und Bridges bnve given
Bond for the anfo keeping und dinbursmi'ut of
the money committed to their charge, mid in
| view of the fact that the Didtricl has in past
nine sunereu loss lroni spell neglect, we submit
tliat they be required lo return to former uauges,
and give Bond for (lie safe keeping and disbursment
of the public money, al#o thut they return
Again lo former usages and have thrir reports
published in the Banner and Prets, for the it?Bpectimi
of the publio."
" We would ngaiii revert to tho report of the
I Treasurer of the Commissioners of Roads and
Bridges, and report thai the Hoard ol Commissioners
have limited the Commissions of the
General Treasurer to $10, and yet notwithstanding
such an order, he has received Commissions
to the amount of $433, and would uIbo
report thut their whole business teems lo be
managed carelessly and extravagantly."
" Also, that Little River liridge at Lea vols'
Mill has been reported to us as in an unsafe condition."
(Sigued,)
"WM. BARR, Foreman."
These are therefore, to command and require
you, the aforenamed Commissiouers, " to comply
with the recommendutions of the Grund

that you ahew cause at the next term" of the

We, tho Commissioners of Roads and Bridges'
for Abbeville District, beg leave to make the
following Report to tho Court of General Sessions
for Abbeville District* to be holden at Abboville,
C. If., First Monduy of (October, i860:
As much of the Report of the Grand Jury/ for
the October Term, 1868, ?3 relatru to the Commissioners
of Roads nml Bridges, in reference to
the management of our General Treasurer, we
bejj leave to say, whtn the General Treasurer
was elected to office, it was expected that he
Would give bond) Atid would have done so, if
he had been asked to do so 011 the day ol his
election. Not giving bond, he was solicited to
do so tho March following. He said it was a reflection
011 his integrity. The General Treasurers
that hud preceded In ill hnd not given bond, ut
least t wo of them?he took precedent from them
and former boards, and refused to give bond ufter
the Report of tho Grand Jury, Oct. Term,
1858. March Term 185'.), he threw up the office,
and was elected hy a majority of tho hoard to continue
in office, the remainder of the Term
without bond, and wo believe, nnd report, that
there is uo danger of the public suffering loss;
bu'. would rccominend when there is anew board
formed, that they go back to foimer u?nges lor
I tho sufe keeniiiir of ilia miMi? mim?n
? I?o ? I ? "J*
j As much of liie Report as relaU-s to Commissions
taken by otlr General Treasurer, was not
j in accordance with tho wishes of thfc General
i Board. Their order was in as iilach as the for|
m?r General Treasurer had taken five per cent,
we would go hack lt> Former customs and give
$10 a year U? our General Treasurer, which
would Buve the District near ?>40o. IIo clioso
to take the five per cent, in as much n? the former
General Treasurer had taken it, and it Imd
been allowed him by one of our Judge's of the
Court of Common Plea?. And we, the Commissioners
of Roads and Bridges, do think it out of
place to Report, an in (his notice, if after hut.
tling with it for years, the General Treasurer can
go into Court?and on application to the presiding
Judge, be allowed live per cent, iu opposition
to the wishes of tiie board.
We must say in counectiou here, that when
our General Treasuier was re-elected January j
13.VJ, he was allowed by the Hoard or a urn- :
jority of them, to take five per cent of tltc pub- j
lie money for Roads and Bridges, for receiving
and paying out. The understanding with those
wlio voted foril, was that one General Treasurer |
coulil go into Court and he allowed il, no mullt-r |
I what the views of the Board might be, nnd it
j was as well to allow bv order of the Hoard n_s i
to have it allowed by tho Court. Hut we lire
natUfied that u majority of the Hoard arc only
in favor of rcsotinblu compensation?*?;/ one per
tent. And the reasons why it has nut been done,
nre those above stute<l. Now what we want, is
for the Court to nay, whether it will allow live
per eeui. 10 one tumoral Treasurer, or ulllow llie
board lo say wliut will be reasonable coinpens.v
lion.
As mucli of tbe Grand Jurys* Report, Oef.
1858, ns relates to tlie extravagance of Commissions
in ruiwiiitr from the public, more money
than is necessary to pay current expenses. This
i in not so rtnlltj?it may appear so to thcril. there
being Aa,5(i0 in the General Treasurer^ hand,
Oct., 1858. Hut tliey must recollect the Commissioners
year will nut be out till June, 1850, and
this Surplus that appears will all bo absorbed |
before that time, and iu place of Urge sums he
iug held over from year to year, we have always
been iis debt whan the end of the year come*,
| and when we mako over assessments iu January,
we have always lo inukc tlu-ni iu reference lo
that lact. As far art tho iutere.il on these nmountrt
is concerned, it never has been ilie practice lo
require our General Treasurer to pay interest |
on the amouut of Surplus in his hands; neither !
would it be right. They ore generally men living
in the country, and if they were lo fend out the j
l'nblic Funds, could not have iliem at command 1
when needed. A banker could use tbe Funds iu ]
ibis way, and a safe hanker in the village has :
proposed to tuke tho Funds of the Hoard, give \
bond and security for the sul'o keeping of the j
money ; receive and pay out, make a yearly re- ]
r |>uii. ?/i mo Buiiiu n?r me use ul tlio Jf'nndx, with- j
| out making n:iy additional charge. Il't iciih the j
Court to tai/ whether tliiM would be lawful or 1
not. I
We beg leave to Report, iu answer to ilie Grand j
Jury's Report, Murcli Term, 1H50, in reference I
to the building of Bridges with Light Timbers,
find of a kind tlml will uolhu duriuble ; and with
reference to timber, its size, that we have not put
a sleeper on a Bridge less than 0 by 10 nnd 6 by
18, and every one that knows anything about
the strength of timbers, know tlift a pieeo of
limber of the uliove diflmcusions is much more
stronger and duriuble ttiau a Silt l'i by inches
?lr-ss liable to rot, and much steadier. With regard
to thekiittl of timber used, we have always
UKed the best that could be found. If the Grund
Jury will put themselves to tlio trouble to attend
to the letting of abridge, they will find there
alqrpys a bill of specifications, a bond to comply
with Hie same. Such a thing as letting in uuy
i other way is never done. 'We can report as
I good a set of Bridges as over was in Abbeville
District, and we would sfly the hesl, the greater
I part of them bring built on improved plans and
uaw. <4
The 6rand Ji?ry Report, March Terra, 1859, j
that relates 10 the condition of tlio roncb, mid
the time that .should bj taken up in work, we
beg to make the following Report: Tho condition
of the Rond could not be (lettered hy work

late, it was generally impincticnble to work the
Roads. The roaiU generally since have been
worked well and are iu good condition. Ae to

according to the amount of labor, giving some
roads 15 huutlu to the mile, and others 8.
Wc have iu the District, uecoadiug to the Report
of the several Commissioners an aggregate of
6 hands to the mile. If these hands are properly
attended to it will not be found nfvessjmiy
to work over 3 daya in the year to keep as
good a set of Road* as ean be kept under oar.

the Law requires 12 days in each year expended
on the roads,, but 12 daya if necessary. So that
a man would uot be required to work tnoro than
12 days under any circumstances.
All of whieh ia respectfully nuhmitted.
