FALL AND WINTER CLOTHING.

From personal examination We can pronounce
the assortment of Ready-made Clothing, which
Messrs. SIMR1L g. WILLIAMS have now on hands,
super6ne. Everything comfortable, convenient
or elegant in their line of business, and in the la
test styles, they now offer to the public. Partic-
ularly woull we recommend the Over Raglan to
all who wish safe shield against the inclemencies
of winter-which from present indications is not
far distant. See their advertisement in another

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

By reference to the advertisement in another
column, it will be seen that the State Agricultural
Society of South Carolina will hold an Annual
Fair in Columbia on the 10th, llth, 18th and
18th of November next. The object Of these ex-
hibitions are clearly understood, but we fear not
duly appreciated. 1t has long been evident to
every observing mind, that farming conducted on
an approved plan, or with some regard to scentif-
ic principles was the great desideratum which our
State needed to give an impetus to her prosperity;
to restrain the spirit of emigration, and build up
towns and cities in our midst not less splendid nor
less afiuent, than thoee which have sprung up
on the barren shores of the Northeastern States.
There can be no object more commendable to the
patriot or philanthropist than the development of
the physical resources of his country, for with this
will 60 hand in hand her mental progress. 1t will
enable q thriving yeomanry to receive the bless
ngs of education to appreciate moral purity and
substantial worth to live in temperance and COM
fort, without the degeneracy of luxury, the curse
of curses-ignorancc, and the temptation and hu.
initiation Of penury aud want And it is OIL this
class that the greatness of a country depends:
''Princcs and Lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as breath has made;
But bold pessantry. their countrys pride
When once destroyed. can never be supplied"
1t is then for this purpose-thc diffusion of,ag-
ricultural knowledge and love of agricultural
pursuits-that the Society was organized and the
Fair instituted. To meet together and compare
the results of months of toll and solicitude; to
have new energy created in the bosom, tc rival
the excellence of others, to feel vivid interest in
something more remunerative, congeuial and pa
ci6c than the noisy arena of politics, and more
honorable and ennobling than the chicanery Of
speculation: to enjoy-for there is to the farme
no keener pleasure-the exhibition of ingenious
and useful implements, mechanical and agricultu-
raj, of articles indicative of domestic economy,
elegance aud industry, of blooded animals from
the trim couser in his pride to the priceless mich
COW with extended udders, in a word to acquire
and give zest and relish for agricultural pursuits
these are some of the desirable objects and ef-
fects of the agricultural reunions, which should
commend them to oil, who wish or expect perma-
nent Improvement
York we think will contribute her mite towards
making the expected Fair attractive and useful
We hope so at least. Especially might she send
specimens of her copper ore, her iron manufactu-
res and other valuable minerals. All these will
be objects of interest. Remember, the 1lth Of
November.

How Kansas IS to bs made a Slave
State.

Tho pro.slqvory Constitutional Con-
vontiou Of Kansas has finally adjourned,
hut the reports OF It's proceedings, which
we have received are vague and conflict
ing, leaving us in uncertainty as to the
result. Enough however Is gathered to
warrant Che conclusion that a most des.
pcrate gamo has been played, in order to
roo the people or Kansas OF their rights
and force slavery upon them, even against
their VIII, 1t is the darkest piece Of vii
lainy in tho whole catalogue of crimes
against Kansas aud is enough to sink It's
perpetrators to the lowest depths Of deg
relation, in the eyes Of tho civilized
world.
II appears that the Schedule Commit
toe, to which was referred tho slavery
question, made two reports, n majority
and minority report Tho former pro
vides that a clause, legalizing slavery,
shall DO submitted to the people in the
folio wing form: "Constitulion with SlAv-
cry" aud Constitution without Slavery;"
thus giving the people no chance to vote
down the whole ovastitution. but only
the slavery clause attached. A minority
report was also submitted to the effect
that the Constitution with slavery should
be scat up to Congress, as it is. without
bainy submitted to a vote Of tho people
and tal. this shall be the organic law Of
ihe State.
Now. whioh Of these reports prevailed,
We are not positively informed, nor do We
care, for, as far as the interests Of Free
dom ara concerned; it makes no differ
euoe. Either Of them viii make Kansas
a Slave State. If the majority report is
adopted. il gives the people ostensibly the
right to vote upon the slavery clause on-
ly; but then there arc suoh provisions

mont, as viii virtually establish slavery
10 the new State. There is IN Il strong
endorsement Of the Fugitive Slave Law
and the Drei Scott decision, with the ox.
press declaration "thst the right Of prop.
erty ia slaves, now in the Territory, shall
ia no manner be inlerfered with" This,
coupled with the declaration Of James
Buchanan. that slavery already exists IN
Kansas ''under the Constitution Of the
United slates.' makes the thing douby
sure. Nor is lhis all. The new Cous,i-
tuition provides that no amendment can

then. nothing that viii effect the right

qen. Flnlbuster Walker.

This notorious land pirate, Il appears,
is fatty out to sea again and bearing
down upon tho Costa Rioans, with a sec
ond expedition, consisting Of about 9, 500
soldiers anil large amount Of treasure
and munitions Of war. IIo has slipped
through the hands Of the government Of
fcials like n troaoherous oel AZ New
Orleans ho was arrested, held to bail in
the sum Of $4,000 and then allowed to
"go on his way rejoicing" The whole
thing however is looked upon as a grand
farce, Indeed Il is alleged that Walker
has a private understanding with "the
powers that be" at Washington and that
his arrest was a nero sham to cover up
their dark yillainy. At any rate, Il is
evident that Buchanan and his cabinet
deeply sympalhizo with Gen. Walker, IN
his fllibustering operations in Central
America What a burning shame, what
a stigma is II upon our government, that
this h'ghwayman and his bandit crew
should be allowed TO fit out an oxpedil6n
and sail upmoles,ed, from oua,0f our most
pop6lous seaport towns, without any in
tor eronoo on the part Of the Government
whatever. We hope that when The Cos.
tn Rioons got him in their power again,
they will make an example Of him to the
world, Of the fate Of Gllibus'ering.
