ABBEvILLE @. h., November 4.
The Abbeville Agricultural Fair opened yes
terday with most astonishing success. Many an
tacipattons Of q failure had been expressed, but
yesterdays sights gave an earnest that "there's
life in the ole land yet" The Executive Committee
have cause OF rejoicing, for they have succeeded
beyond hope.
The day was calm and lovely, and as balmy as
rs Indian summer. With the rising sun came
pouring In from every side fine stock that had
been previously entered and had to be or Inc
ground by O'Clock. Before that hour every srall
previously prepared for horses, mules, cattle,
aheep and hogs, was filed, and around the lots
were hitched mules, jacks, saddle and harness
horses, ana some cattle were driven for safe
keeping to private iots Amongst the swine were
Chester pigs one hundred and forty days DID,
weighing one hundred and forty pounds each;
Essex hogs year old, Weighing three hundred
pounds, and fine and beautifHl full-blood Berk
.snires. Merino, Southdowha and grade sheep
Tsee entered, while Durham, Devon and Ayre-
snire cattle ornamented the lots. The feet racer,
the nimble pony, the lubberly roadster, the noble
stallion, all eniivened the scene, which would
have been creditable to our dnteoelluna condi-
ton.

Jennie June, in her November budget of
fashion gossip for the ladies, says:
The vulgar desire which exists among women
OF fashion here to ape the manners, dress, and
pretcnsions of women OF rank and title In other
countries and other times, was never so consplcu-
ous as now, when fashion Itself has revived In
some measure the traditions which belong to

travagance and the license OF undisguised
immortality.

THE DAILY PROMENADE.
American visitors to Europe notice with great
satisfaction the fact that there are more elegantly
dressed women TO be seen in the streets of New
York city, and proportionately in every Other
American city, than in any other country in the
world.
This is true; but it is not so certain that it re-

| floor Of the building was everything to delight
the planters eye; cotton bales clover nay, and
beautiful samples OF all kinds OF small grain,
splendid potatoes (sweet and Irsh,) corn, turnips,
beets, mangolds and barrels Of beautiful -four.
Upstairs was the ladies' department, filed yes,
| crammed, though the hall was forty by sixty
| feet. with everything to eat and drink, from o
| magnificent cake to bottle Of delicious wine,
and more lovely specimens Of ladies' handiwork
than one could enumerate in volume.
BY 10 O'Clock the streets were alive with the
nearing masses Of both blacks and whites. And
during the day over 1000 extra tickets were sold,
though it was previously thought majority OF
the citizens Of the district were paid members OF
the society. Visitors were here from Greenville,
Anderson, Laurens, Edgefeld and Newberry. The
drinking saloons were all closed, and none Of the
so that more orderly crowd was never assem-
bled together; and it gives me pleasure to say
that the colored people behaved quietly through
out the day, and though those Of them who bought
tickets were allowed free access to the Fair build
ing and grounds, they deported themselves in
every respect quite genteely as could have been
desired.
Music from the Courthouse portico soon COL
lected more than housefull in that direction,
and in few minutes this throng was being en-
lightened by the Hon. D. Lee, OF East Tennessee,
in one of the most pracscal, entertaining agri-
cultural speeches it has ever been my pleasure to
hear. Efforts are being made to induce Dr.. Lee
to visit Columbia during next week, and if he
does, the Executive Committee should not fail to
have him address the South Carolina Agricultural
and Mechaps Society. The intelligent planter
| who hcfSDr. Lee cannot but be both edited and
delighted. Indeed it would be an economical and
profitable investment for the society to secure his
services as an agricultural chemist or geoogist to
traverse the state, and lecture at stated periods
| to the planters.
At4 O'Clock the Fair grounds were closed, and
scarcely had the sun gone down until hot sup
per was announced for some charitable or reli-
glous purpose, and thither the crowds strayed,
and until near midnight the good things Of life
were enjoyed, at most reasonable figures, by one
and all OF this joyous assemblage. Roast pigs,
turkeys, hams, chicken salad hot coree, oysters,
meringues cnarlottes, calle and other things "too
numerous &C., were as plentiful as the beauti-
full ladies, OF whom there were not q few.

From these aggregates we see that, in the nine
countless the final result is an increase OF just %
whites and decrease Of 1871 colored inhabitants.
These fluctuations Of population are referable to
so many causes, that concentrations just now
would be unsafe. The negroes are migrating to-
ward the coast and the cities. Immigrants are
coming in. Death is doing its work with unequal
hands. But there are some anomalous facts
some that go against the coast migrating idea.
For example, in Anderson there has been de-
crease Of whites and an increase of negroes, and
that at the very foot of the mountains. But here,
in population so largely white, the mark of war
is most visible. In few weeks we shall have full
