STATE AaRIo6LrURAn EoofErY.MWe
are indebted to Colonel ID. w. ,AikenS the
active and energetic Secretary Of the State
Agricultural Society, for q number OF
copies Of the premium list Of the next
Fairsin Colhmbis. which we will take
pleasure in furnishing to our agricultu.
raj friends. The Fair will come Off du.
ring the second week OF November. to
wit: on the 9th, 10th and 11th of the
month, being the week after the Fair in
Charleston, and two weeks after the Fair
in Abbeville. It promises to be spleu-
did affair, as favoring seasons have se-
conded the efforts of the Executive Com
mittee, who have spared no effort to get
up an exhibition which shall do credit to
the State. Some $1,000 worth of pre-
miums will be distributed; and every eff.
fort has been made to enlist an interest
In behalf of the enterprise ct homo and
abroad. Prominent citizens oe other
States, including editors of leading Jour
nails, have been invited to be present,
and responses have been received cx-
pressing great desire to visit the State.
The expense Of travelling is the chief OBJ
stncle suggested, but an appeal to the
liberality of the various railroads would
likely induce them to como to the aid of
the Society, and encourage the presence
here OF Intelligent strangers, who could
do so much to promote immigration
from abroad.
Our own people we expect to turn out
e" aarSse on the occnsion. Abbeville, we
know, will be fully represented, both
among exhibitors and spectators Our
District Fair will only sharpen the appe-
titcs Of both; and the excitement aud
enjoyment Of the week here, will only
stimulate our friends to new excitement
and enjoyment on wider field and more
conspicuous arena. Let our friends all
come to the Abbeville Fair. then go to
Charleston if they can, and then to Co
lumbia. Thus they will complete the
rounded circle of enjoyment, if the
money can be induced to hold out so
long.
The Secretary informs us that the
prizes awarded ut the last Fair are now
ready for distribution. He says that
they are models of beauty, and artistic
skill. .-AbderiNe Press omd Banner.

From the "official statement" of the
cotton crop of the United States, Just
issued by Messrs. Antens e Bourne, of
New York, we take the following figures
The total crop for the year ending Aug.
31, 1870, amounts to 3,114,5 bales.
This represents the produce Of nine
States, i'll NIL of which there has been q
marked increase over the crop of last
year, and in five Of which there has been
an Increase when compared with the full
crop of tho year ending August, 1865
The aggregate for the year is S54 O35
bales more than that Of the crop 1869 D.,
and 6S3, $50 bales more than that Of the
crop 1S67-9. The grand total of ship
ments for tho year just closed has been
2, l73, $50 bales, showing an increase
over last year of 725,9 bales. The
total OF bales taken for home consnmp-
ton during tho year has been S57, 1874,
showing decrease of GA, $40 bales when
compared with 1860, aud of l04, ,662
when compared with 1S67-9. When
compared with ante-war years, we find
that the present years crop is larger than
that of any year preceding 1866, with
the single exception of 1928, which
slightly exceeds it. The average crop of
the five years between September, 1865.
and August, 1860, amounted to 3, $40, ,515
bales, Of which the crop of the present
year only falls 705, ,923 bales short.

The first step to be taken toward this
was the concentration there of all the

however, both by the national aud local

SPURGEON TO BISAiARCK AND NAPO-
LEoN.-Spurgeon, the famous London
preacher, has written letter addressed
to Napoleon, Emperor of the French,
and William, King of Prussia. We quote
o portion:
Did either of you ever think of what
war means? Did you ever see man s
head smashed, or his bowels ripped
openP Why, il you are made of flesh
and blood, the sight of one poor wound
ed man, with the blood oozing out of
him, will make you feel sick. I don't
like to drown g kitten; can't bear even
to see rat die, or any animal in pain.
But man! where's your hearts if you
can think of broken legs, splintered
bones, heads smashed in, brains blowcd
out, bowels torn, hearts gushing with
gore, bitches full of blood, and heaps of
limbs and carcasses of mangled men?
Do you say my language is disgusting? :?
How much more disgusting must the
things themselves bel And you make
them! How would you like to get man
into your palace garden and run cary
ing knife into his bowels, or cut his
throat? If you did that, you would de-
serve to be hanged; but it would not DO
half so bad as killing tens of thousands,
and you know very we'll that this is just
what you are going to do. DO you
fancy that your drums and flies, and
feathers and fneries aud pomp, make
Wholesale murder one whit the less
abominable in the sight of God? Do
not deceive your yourselves; you are no
better than the cut-throats whom your
own laws condemn.
murders are so many. Think, pray
you, for your poor people will have to
think, whether you do or no. Is there
so little want in tue world that you must
go trampling on the harvest with your
horses and men? Is there so little sor-
row that you must make widows by the
thousand? Is death so old and feeble
that you must hunt his game for him, AS
jackals do for the lion? Do you ina
gne that God made men for you to play
with? Are they only meant for toys for
You to break? o Kings, ploughman
tells you that their souls are as precious
in Gods sight as yours, they suffer as
much pain when bullets pierce them as
ever you eau do; they have homes, and
mothers, and sisters, and their deaths
will be as much wept over as yours, per-
haps more.
How can you sit down to eat when you
have caused war? Does not the blood
rlse IN your throat and choke you? Or
are you only devils with crowns on?
Creatures who were never suckled ut n
woman's breast. and therefore have no
human feeling? It will be hard for you
to think OF the blood you have shed
when you lie dying, and harder still to
bear the heavy hand of God when he
shall cast all murderers into hell
Whichever it is of you that has been the
cause Of this wicked war, I say you
smell of blood; you ought to be more
hated than tho common hangman, and
instead OF being called ellis Majesty"
you ought to be hooted as demon.

The .PAPAn TERRIToRY After rule
extending over q period of more than
l, 100 yeare, the day seems at hand when
the Pope shall cesse to 'exeroiee temporal
1power, and when Rome shall once more
become the oapitSl of Italy. Ten years
ago, the greater part of the Papal terri
tory revolted and was annexed to the
Government of Victor Emmanuel. In
1853. the Pope's temporalities covered
| 10, 289 square miles of territory, contain
ing population of 3,124,66S. The re-
volt OF 1850 took away everything but
the civil divisions of Rome and Comarca,
Vlterbo, Civita Vecchin, Velletri and
frosinone-the whole containing 4,599
square miles and a population of 692, log.
Geographically, the States of the Church
are bounded on the North by Tuscany,
on the East by Umbria and Naples, and
on the Southwest by the Mediterranean
Sea. Their greatest extent from North
to South is about 12O miles, with q
breadth varying from eighteen to fifty
miles. The coast line measures about
l60 miles, and is in nearly all places low
and often marshy. Although it is broken
by numerous bays, nearly nll are SO small
and shallow that they are totally unfit
for harbor purposes Civitn Vecchia is
the single exception, and even that place
possesses but few natural advantages as
a commercial seaport. It has been,
however, since 1860, the only sea port
held by the Pope, and has served as tho
principal means of entrance and exit to
and from Rome.
Should the States of the Church he
annexed to Italy, the Oldest Government
IN Europe will be swept out of existence.
During the reign of the Emperor Con-
stantine the Catholic Church began ac-
curing property in Rome. In 72G the
Popes possessed considerable power and
they had endeared themselves to the
people, who finally paid them that allie
glance which had been extended to the
Emperors. When, in 741, the Lombards
laid siege to Rome, the Pontiff, Gregory
III. sent IN embassy to France, implor-
ing the aid OF Charles Martel Subsc-
quently Pope Stephen II obtained the
aid of Pepin, who marched nm army into
Italy, defeated the Lombards and com
PEELED their King not only to abandon
his design upon Rome, but also to ccde
to the Pope grent deal Of territory,
situated principally on the Adrintic.
From this time the Popes became tenn
poral soycreigns and their territorial
possessions were greatly enlarged by
Charlemagne after his destruction of thu,
Lombard monarchy. Ever since the
Popes have been the rulers of Rome and
a great part of Italy. Repeatedly driven
from tho city and despoiled of their
temporalities, they have always succeed
eel IN rcgalning possession after intervals
Of war. In 1860 the first what may be
called penceable spoliation took place,
nearly all foreign powers advising Pope
Plus to acquiesce in the seizure of the
greater part of his dominions. Napo-
leon Ill recommended him to volunta-
rily give up everything but Rome. He
lndlgnntly rejected this advice and re-
sponded to tho violence of the Italian
Governmcnt by communicating Victor
Emmanuel. He is now, we suppose,
powcrlcss to resist what seems to be the
inevitable result of the present European
| complications.

County Nominations.

This matter is properly attracting at
tention. It is time, we submit, for the
anti-radieal and Reform voters OF Rich
land County to decide upon the course
to be pursued. There are two tickets
now before the public, both radical and
both composed of men who are in no
sense representative OF the whites and
property-holdors Of the city and County.
There is, in our Judgment. but one pro-
per course to pursue. Tho people of
Richland, opposed to radical misrule,
should meet in council and decide upon
what may be deemed most advantageous
to the public interests. We hope. there
fore, and we venture to suggest it, that
the Executive Committee of the Reform
party will provide for meeting of dele
gates from Richland, to take into consi
deration the best course that shall be
pursued to advance the interests of Rich.
land in the matter of it's County officers.

progress of this German hope to its ap-
