Tue second anniversary Of the Lancaster
Bible Society was celebrated on Sunday
last, the 10Th inst, by q meeting Of the
members at the Presbyterian Church, ind
an address from Mr.. s. B.. Massey, Mr.
Massey's remarks were interesting and to
the point, contrasting The more comprehen-
sivc ideas Of modern christianity, mainly
attributable to the dissemination of the
Holy Word, TO the false, but in many cases,
beautiful systems of ancient Mythology
His characterization of the Bible rs a
work of unbounded distinguishing found
within lis folds n cause for, and II preventive
Of the various evils which infest the human
heart, was truthful comprehensive and ap

A more extended notice Of the meeting
may be given by some member of the So

to meet with the parent society. which as

III FAIR.

The interest was much increased yester-
day says the Columbia Carolinian of 18th
inst. by additional contributions TO The en-
hiLition, and the immense crowds which
throngcd into the halls and grounds were de-
lighted with the variety and character Of the
objects exposed.
In every department were exhibited the
hveIicst interest and inquiry, and we are
sure that the personal qualification of visi-
tors was very general. 1t is impossible for
us to specify particularly the beautiful speci-
mems which take precedence in the several
departments. and We are disposed to shrink
from the invidious task, at least until the
responsibility belonging to the committees
is discharged. We hazard nothing, howcv
or, in saying that the first Fair of the State
Agricultural Society is successful in nm
eminent degree We give continuation Of
the entries from the books of the Society,
and regret that the several books being in the
possession of committees prevented our ad-
ding the contributions Of yeste rday.

AN APPEAL FOR KANSAS.

GENERAL ID. r. ATcHrsos, has ~receutiy nd,
dressed q circular TO the people Of the
South, appealing TO their patriotism in be-
half of the settlers in Kansas, and stating
the present needy condition of the people
Of that region. Settlers during the crop
ping season were prevented from raising
supplies for the approaching winter, by be-
ing forced to an active defence of their homes
and families, from the en~croachments of
lawless abolition Invaders. In many cases
their cabins have been burnt, their property,
stock, and sven clothes have been stolen by
these unprinciplcd marauders, and they are
now dependent for board and shelter on
their friends and neighbors, who may be
but little less poorley off than themselves.
This appeal should reach the hear, of every
true Southcrncr, who has m atom of sym
pathy for those who have risked their all
in the great cause, or who feels an interest
in pcrpetua,ing an institution, that these
have been made desolato in defending.

is not ended in Kansas. The rebellion is

the Emigrant Aid Societies may pour in
their pauper miscreants at pleasure and
even the Sharp's Rifle will not be needed to
ensure their complete triumph! All that
has already been done vii! be lost-the
blood that has been split and the money
that has been expended will have been in

appreciated, and the contributors Of the last,
are not only careless of their investment,
but careless of the great end for which il
was designed. If the South would keep
up the advantage she has gained; she must
continue TO exercise an unccasing regard
and concern for the affairs of that Terrific
