COLUMBIA, S. c.. october 2.
The fall trade Of Columbia is expected to he
brisk and lively, and our merchants have made
every provision to meet its wants. The ap-
preaching State Fair will doubtless prove
valuable aid to Columbia, and to the whole
State, and am glad to say that 1 believe 1t
will be largely and generally attended. have
been permitted to inspect the plans of the Fair
buildings, the work Of A. Y. Lee, Esq, archi-
tect, gratuitously contributed by this gentle
man. They reflect credit upon the profession
al skill of Dir. Lee, which the liberality of the
gift surely does him honor.
The centre building presents handsome
front of rs by As feet, with two wings IS by IS
feet, the entire front aggregating las feet, the
whole two stories high, with galleries extend
ing around the ediice. In the middle of the
main building will be erected an aquarium II
by 81 feet, which will serve as o graceful orna-
ment to the building There will be an am
phitheatre in the front grounds, amply pro-
vided with seats for spectators, in the centre
of which will be erected stand for the COM
mittees distributing prizes. The sheds for cat
tie, stock and horses, will be most comfortably
arranged, and the grounds tastefully and con-
veniently laid of, there being separate track
for exhibitions of horses. Every department
to which contributions may come will be care
fully arranged The buildings are progressing
rapidly under the superintendent Of ON ex-
perienced mechanic, Mr. R. w. Johnson.

The Condition of the Crops-Thc Pro-
bable Yield of Corn, Cotton and Rice
Manning Wide-Awake-Count Poli-
[FRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
MANSINu, S. CD,-September 27


The weather of late has been somewha
tickle; within the last ten days we have hat
warm weather and heavy rains, bright ant
clear but cold weather, and now the sun ha!
withdrawn his bright smiles, and we have
clouds superadded to the cool weather.
The farmers are busy gathering their crops.
Cotton will fall short Of last years crop in this
county at least one-fourth, owing mainly tc
the cool weather early in the spring, and the
protracted drought in the summer. The cater
pillars have infested the cotton fields to q
considerable extent, but they began their de.
predations too late to lessen the yield mate
rally The yield Of corn this year is much
less than last year, and Oh an average about
half crop will be harvested. The rice, pea
and potato crops may be estimated at less
than the above figures, and an estimate OF
one-fourth the crop Of these productions COM
pared with last years crop would not be far
short of the facts, and this decrease is trace
able 10 the drought in August last, and the
earlier weeks Of the present month. Not
withstanding these discouragements, the farm
ers are hopeful, and will soon be making dill
gent preparations for another year.
More cotton has been bought and sold in
Manning this year, thus far, than usual, and
our merchants pay as good prices as Sumter
offers; previous to this year the latter place
has generally held out greater inducements to
sellers than the former. Business here is
quite active, but cannot chronicle anything
new in the way Of improvements If the Cen
tral Railroad should be a success, it will give
great impetus to enterprise and improve
ment, and Manning will shake off her appa-
rent lethargy.
Politics In our county, metaphorically speak
ing, are asleep, and Sambo and Cuffee have
but little in the way of opposition to arouse
their patriotism to fever heat. The blacks
hold meetings occasionally, say every other
Saturday, but what for, and what they say or
do, is unknown to the respectable portion of
the whites. Prominent among the speakers
at these meetings are William Nelson, (very
black representative from the county, and
Powell Smythe, (mulatto) chairman Of the
board of school commissioners. 1t is said
that the latter will be brought out at the next
election for senator against Elias E. Dickson,
the present incumbent AS both are Radicals,
there is but little choice between them. Dick
son being white native Radical is more de-
tested by the respectable white people than
the other.
Cotton and corn stealing seem to have
almost become q regular trade, and the farm
ers have to watch their fields with as much
assiduity as hens watching over their broods.

MS- NOW IS THE TINE TO REPAIR
the inroads made upon the physical strength by
the heated term which has closed with Septem-
ber. The vitality that has been oozing through
the pores in the form Of perspiraton, for the last
three months, requires to be replaced as prepa-
ratiye to the cold season which makes such disas-
trous havoc with relaxed and untoned systems.
The reserve of vigor with which the stoutest man
commences the summer campaign is drained out
of him at its close, and unless by some means he
acquires a new stock Of vital energy wherewith
TO encounter the shock Of colder season, he may
droop and wither like the falling leaves whose
lIfe-iuices are exhausted. II it Is thus with the

OF the week and ailing. Their reason must sug-
pest to them, more forcibly than these printed
words, the necessity for lnvigoraton, and the
world having decided, after an experience OF
almost a quarter OF century, that HOSTEL

tive properties as are not possessed by any other

the importance OF resorting TO that great RENO

The Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Secretary
of State for War, delivered speech to his con-

ofthe policy ofthe government toward Canada.
He said the general policy Of governing colo

had consequently been substituted for it a
policy to encourage them to deyelope their
own power and resources, and stimulate them
to o spirit of self-reliance. He showed how
successful this policy had been in the case Of
Canada, and briefly reviewed the progress re-

an army of her own, and such amerchant
