The Charleston correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune says:

l. LTtOUH6 eayS'
A conversation, which I could not help
hearing, at the Charleston Hotel last night,
convinces me that the disafection among
the slaves is more general even than had
imagined. A member of the Convention,
who comes from the District Of Prince
George, was relating to friend circumstan-
ces of plot which he had discovered, the
rami6cations of which extended for miles
around, and in which the servants of some
score of planters were concerned. The idea
which possessed the slaves seems to have
been that the moment the first gun was
fred in Charleston Harbor, they should
make stampede, taking with them all the
property they could lay their hands upon.
The most pleasing part Of the story-to
the relator-seemed to be the remembrance
of the unmerciful whipping which he Or
dered to be administered to the men and
women concerned in it. This is no singu-
lar case; information reaches me daily,
which l do not intend to reveal, which
proves beyond all doubt that the first gun
fred against the United States Govern
ment will explode powder magazine, the
vaults Of which extend beneath the feet of
the whole South.

Our County Agricultural sOcieiy---Its
E4nIe Fair

The following communication was handed in for
publication two weeks since, and was put in tyl e.
but was crowded out by a press of other matter.
The writer calls things by rather marsh pames, but
he evidently tells some plain truths. We do not
think he is altogether just in some OF his criticism
We think the Fair Grounds kept in their pres
emf position not so much for the benefit of dead
tavern" as for the funds and enterprise to move
item. Everybody will admit it would be great
advantage to the Society TO have the grounds To-
Gated at some convenient point on the railroad,
but il requires funds and some energetic persever-
ing man TO take hold and effect the removal We
hope it will be done before another fair is held:
MR. EDITOR: Please allow me little space in
your paper for a few remarks or our last Agrcul-
ural Fair No one who attended could
help being struck with the unprecedented poor
show of stock on the grounds, as well as the very
thin attendance of competitors in the other de-
partments-every one will readily see and con-
cede that much of this owing to the times, in
fact many doubted TIE propriety of holding fair
at al this year bat most of this neglect on the
part of homes. supporters Of previous fairs result

was being made q the Sncletys funds. in feeding

at 81 90 per bushel and close his doors against
people in a rain storm because, forsooth, he could
make nothing out of them.
Perhaps the Farmers and Mechanics and the
