The STATE FAIR AT COLUMBIA The
energetic officers Of the State Agricultu-
raj Society, with the active cooperation
Of the citizens of Columbia, are working
very hard to make the State Fair, which
opens tomorrow, handsome exposition
of the manufactures and the agricultural
and Industrial enterprise of the whole
State. A large sum of money has been
spent in improving the Fair Grounds,
and Colu mbia seems determined to show
all South Curolina that the capital, op-
pressed as it is by the presence of the
head-centres of radical rascality, has life
enough and energy enough to gather the
people together in the good cause Of in
dustrial progress, and is able, besides, to
take good care of the throng OF visitors
who are already filling the hotels from
basement to roof. A number of private
families have sent in their names to the
committees as ready to receive visitors,
and nothing will be left undonc to secure
the comfort of the thousands who will
be attracted to Columbia by the meeting
of the Survivors Association, (when &c,
neral Preston will deliver an grafton, J
and by the ball Of the South Carolina
Club, as we'll as by the Great Fair itself.
We trust that every County in South
Carolina will be represented in the Fair
It was hoped that an arrangement might
have been made for holding the fairs in
alternate years in Charleston and Colum-
bia. But if this cannot be, We of the
soaboard must stand by Columbia, as

The Spirit OF the White Element.


From all parts of South Carolina we
have the gratifying assurance of q bold,
resolute and united spirit on the part
Of the white or anti-radical element. No
further appeal will be made to the color
ed voter. We stated months ago that
Ephraim was joined to his idols, and the
result shows that we were not wrong.
We must now look to ourselves in po-
litical way. We have elements of vast
strength, hnt they ere lying looaa and
scattered. We must organize. We
must stand shoulder to shoulder. From
the mountains down to the sea coast, we
must stand-we-the whites Of South
Carolina must stand together. Aud to
redeem the State, we must work on, and
do everything that is justified by truth,
by honor, by manhood. The Reform
effort has placed the whites of South
Carolina upon high ground. They
sought peace. They met sharp antago-
nism. They found the colored people
united against them almost to q man.
We must now take care of ourselves,
and blasted henceforth be the counsels
of him who shall propose q rose-water
programme, or milk and water policy.
Sternly opposed as the whites have been
overwhelmed as the State has been by
half-civilized mass of voters, We must
gather closer together, and our spirits
rise higher as we appreciate the defeat
that FRAUD and NUMBERS have together
brought upon our good cause. That
cause We must yet win. 1t can be done.
It must be done.

New BooK.-We have received from
tho publishers-Messrs. d. Appleton &
Co., of New York-a copy of q new no.
vel, by q Southern authoress-C Christian
Reed. The title is "Valerie Aylmer."
The critic OF the Charleston Courier thus
speaks of it, and it is hoped the author
ess will take the hint:
Valerie Aylmer' is a Southern novel
That Is to say, the scene is laid chiefly
in the South, the author is said to be .
Southerner. and the book processes tc
deal with Southern characters. We saw
processes, because it is Just in this point
that tue story fails of its avowed purpose
The d'dmaiS le''Sonte are not Southern
ers at all; they are our old friends, fa-
millar to us in every English society
novel OF the last twenty years. They
live and talk i'll Baltimore, but thew might
quite as we'll have talked and lived il

There is plenty OF clevcrncss in it ali, but
the cleverness is entirely initiative. Con.
se1uently regarded as literary work,
the critic is compelled to pronounce the
book supert!uous. But, from another
Ioih' VI view, aicrlc Aylmer' is full
OF promises. The style is pure, and re-
fined and flowing; some of the situations
are highly dramatic, and the story is in
tcrcsting throughout. There is always
room for hope that one who can initiate
other people SO we'll will solue day be
able to do worthy work of her own. If
the author of Valerie Aylmer" will only
launch out boldly in her second venture,
trusting more to Imagination and less to
memory, wo feel warranted in predicting
that she will accomplish something really
worthy to live.

SUGAR The damage done to the
Cuban crop alone by the recent hurri-
cane will have an effect reaching to every
consumer of that commodity. The four
districts that were devastated by the
storm, produced BIG, 900 tons of sugar in
1860, and their production for the pre-
sent season, was estimated Mt 400, 600
tons. AS these districts are in narrow
section of the island, it is feared that
their entire crop has been destroyed,
which will not only tend to raise the
price of sugar, but will diminish Spain 8
revenues from Cuba.
The colored population of Savannah
was thrown into intense excitement on
Sunday last, by the murder of negro
named Henry Screven, by mulatto
named King Broughton. The murder
seems to have been committed, not only
without provocation, bnt after repeated
efforts on the part of the victim to avoid
disturbance. The murderer was ar-
rested, and two other colored men have
been occused by the coroner's jury as
accessories.
On Saturday night last, Miss Lizzie
Baily, highly respected lady of Macon,

says: The conduct of the French army
in all the earlier battles was heroic, but
they soon began to lose all confidence

with want of food, spread dcmoraliza-

William will, ut the close of the present
war, be proclaimed Emperor of Ger
many. He is evidently in very fine
spirits over the developments of the
past few days, and has already assumed
some of the prerogatives of Emperor, by
creating the Crown Prince aud Prince
Frederick Charles field marshals. These
appointments are significant in conncc-
ton with the strong rumor Of the coming
empire. The King has also given cX-
preston to his good will toward General

anecdote is repeated by the Epoca Of
Madrid, in reference to the aggressive
designs which Count Bismarck has been
accused of harboring for many years.
At Biarritz, in 1865, during the period
Of his interviews with the Emperor, he
happened to exchange couple of visits
with Spanish statesman and ox-Minis-
ter, to whom he showed, with much
glee, caricature he had just received
from Berlin. In this, the Chancellor
and the Emperor were represented as
seated at n supper-table, before bottle
of Rhine wine and plate of Ostend
oysters; the Emperor saying. "Well, my
dear friend, the oysters will bo for you
and the Rhine for me-" 'No," the
Chancellor was made to reply, "the
oysters will not go down without the
Rhine" When the Spaniara had seen
this, the Count said to him: els it not
droll? nm going to show it to the
Emperor; for L cannot get anything
substantial from him, and whatever pro-
positions I make to him lie receives in
silence. He thinks reticence his talent;
and see that in the end we shall have to
work for Germany without him."

The importance of the subject is
our only excuse for again and again
calling the attention of our people to
the Convention which is to meet at
Columbia on the 1st Of October. We
must have a man nominated worthy
to represent our county in the Legs
Iature. In the memorable past, Mau-
ry county was represented in the
Legislature by men whose ability
gave the county fame, and whose in
tegrity gave her honor. The, county
possesses such men to-day, and the
people have the judgment to select
them, if they only become interested
in the matter. We urgently request
every farmer in the county to meet at
their respective precincts Oh the third
Saturday in this month, and then and
there select two gentlemen as dele
gates TO the County Convention at
Columbia, on the LIST of October, in
structed to vote for certain man.
