products Of our busy spindles; the ponderou.s
castings of the sons Of Tubal Cau the life-throb-
bing engine, will all find room for fair comparison,
test and trial.
We look with much interestfo the Ladies of the
State and hope they will fill up the extensive Hall
and Galleries, which will be in readiness to re-
ceive the tasty products of their skill and handi-
work. Let all enter the lists with the proper kind
of rivalry, and we will venture prediction TINT
the first Fair of ''The State Agricultural Society
will be success, and the precursor OF many, sue
cessively brilliant and improving to all the inter-
ests of the South-South Carolina Agricultural.

WASHINGTON July %.
This is the hottest spell of weather we have had
this summer; and the drought intolerable and un-
precedented, except in regard to the summer OF
1864. The Capitol, and particularly the basement
of the edifce is the coolest place to be found but
the streets are like overheated ovens. Legislation
is tiresome work for such weather. yet the Senate,
to-day, with the spirit and resignation Of martyrs,
resumed its chronic discussion the internal i'm
provement question. A few Of the Southern dem
ocrats, faithful among the fathless, stood by the
old fashioned construction of the constitution in
regard to the power of the general government to
appropriate money from the treasury for the i'm
provement of rivers and hsrbors.
The House refused to suspend the rules for the
purpose of permitting Mr.. Denver, Of CAL, to re-
port the triple Pacific Rail Road project from the
select committee of thirteen. But it was gener-
ally understood that the bill would be reported
and entertained next Monday. 1t is very likely to
be passed, even at this session. it is politically
acceptable to majority of each Of the three
parties.
The House proceeded in the discussion of the
army appropriation bill and it is yet to be deter
mined whether the Republicans will insist upon
their amendment declaring null and void the laws
of the territorial Legislature of Kansas.
They have the majority for it, but, when they
come to the crisis, they will finch from the e1er-
else of the power. They will, however, first en-
deavor to drive the Senate into compliance with
their terms but, failing in this, they will proba-
bly, recede from their position. A. disorganizing
and revolutionary movement of this sort would
not do them any service among the people Of the
North.
The publication in the Intelligencer of this morn
ing, by Mr.. Burlingame and Mr.. Campbell, of
Ohio, will attract notice. 1t is evident that Mr.
Campbell, in taking charge of the preliminary ar
rangements, was determined that there should be
no fighting. He almost admits that this was his
object in fixing upon the Niagara Falls, on the
Canada side, for the meeting. Mr.. Brooks had
right to consider it, as every one did, as an eva
sion. The Boston papers SO consider and treat
it.
1t is not supposed that anything further will fol-
low. Mr.. Brooks and Mr.. Keitt are expected to
take their seats in the HoussssBfs week, and in
time to give their votes, which may be much need
ed, on questions connected with Kansas affairs.
