SAMPSON AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
Nov. so, 1859.

Mr. EDITOR: Your correspondent has just return
ed from Clinton, where he has been in attendance
upon the Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Sampson
County Agricultural Society, held on Thursday, Fri
day, and Saturday of last week.
am not advised of the precise number of articles
on exhibition, although learn that in every depart
ment, the number was larger than at any Fair held
since the formation of the Society.
In the Live Stock department the exhibition was
as fine as any | have ever seen anywhere. l be-
lieve there was more stock exhibited at this Fair
than there was at the exhibition of the NorthC Caro-
lima State Agricultural Society," recently held in your
City.
Floral fall reflected credit upon the fair sex of
Sampson. Almost every thing you could imagine,
from the simplest household fabric to the finest ar
ticle Of embroidery, was TO be found there in the
greatest abundance. am quite sure 1t was as well
filled as the Floral Hall of any Agricultural Fair
ever held in North Carolina.
The Farmers and Mechanics acted well their part
in stocking their department noticed in the COL
lection of articles of the handSomest and most
useful specimens OF mechanism | have ever seen
anywhere. There was specimen of every article
in the agricultural art produced in North Carolina
>upon exhibition-a fact, | think, almost without q
parallel in this State.
On Thursday and Friday nights those who were
disposed so to do, had an opportunity of skipping
about on the light fantastic toe The balls were well
attended, and It was pleasing to observe how much
every one present seemed to enjoy himself
On Friday afternoon, after an appropriate intro
duction by A. A. McKoy, ESQ., Col. T. D. Meares, of
Brunswick county. delivered the Annual Address.
A portion of the address contained wise suggestions
with reference to the policy which should be pur-
sued to advantage, the subject Of agriculture and
the mechanic arts in North Carolina Other por-
tons Of it regarded as advocating schemes which,
in the event of their adoption would be entirely in
adequate to to the benefit of the agricultural
interests of our own State Upon these, however,
there might be diversity of opinion, although af
ter examining closely the subjects, it strikes me
nearly every one would be irresistibly forced to
| think as do. @.

LET Us ARN.-On Monday next the Legislature
of Soulful arolina 1t is true that in pro
portion to the size and to the white population of
the State she has the largest military organization
and supply Of arms, of any State in the Union. 1t
will be remembered that in 1S5C-'51 in view of Sc.
cession, she expended about three hundred thou
sand dollars in cannon and small arms, and added
considerably to the stock of arms previously OBJ
tanned through the regular quotas from the Federal
Government But is this ordnance and are these
arms in condition for prompt use? Are they
equipped and their proper munitions ready? Do
they embrace the latest Improvements, and thus the
highest efficiency? No. The Legislature should
look after these matters We know not what the
next twelve months may bring forth, either in po
litical revolution or local movements. New and
better arms will, also, be desirable. The riled mus
ket now used by the army, and which is an improve
ment on the Minnie rifle, and the rifed cannon late
y tested in the Italian war; may, to certain extent
be obtained. So, also, supply of Colts navy re-
volvers, anG Of carbines of the army for cavalry
The musket and the carbne cost each only thirteen
dollars. The revolver costs twenty-fou dollars
A hundred thousand dollars could be promptly and
advantageously expended. Charleston Is. g. Nesos
