A SPLENDID INVESTMENT

EoR SALE very choice Stock, Grain
u and Cotton farm, where labor is
easily procured, and in a healthy anC
quiet neighborhood, situated six miles
Northwest Of Blackville Depot, s. c.
Railroad.
The said Farm contains Six or Seven
Hundred Acres,-about One Hundred
and Fifty Acres cleared. 1t is bounded
on the North by Edisto River, East and
West by two Creeks; one line Of fence
is only required to keep the stock in the
hammock, which is capable of support
ing several hundred head ten months in
twelve auithout any extra feed. White
Oak, Hickory, Pine, and other timber
are OF immense growth. The upland is
easily cultivated.
The natural advantages of the place
are great, in many respects. The native
grass grows from four to six feet high,
and If properly cured and baled would
yield large revenue if sold in Charles
ton or Augusta. The beef Cattle would
also pay largely. The swamp affords
ary quantity Of Muck for fertilizing the
upland.
On the place is fine young Orchard
Of the choicest Fruit Trees, quarter of
an acre of Wilson'S Albany Strawberries,
with large collection ofthe best Grape
Yines-all of which are now bearing
finely.
There is also on this place a Cottage
House, with numerous buildings for
large force, q new Gin House and Shed,
new Gin, and Screw of great power.
The health of the place is excellent
not death for over ten years. Game of
all kinds are abundant, particularly Deer
and wild Turkies. The Creeks and
River afford the finest fish in greatest
plenty.
Physical disability renders it impossi-
BILE for the present owner to attend to the
place.
This very valuable and desirable Farm
can be had for Six Thousand Dollars, (no
1ess,) if applied for soon.

The Fair in Augusta.

In these days one of the strongest
points OF interest to the people of west
ern South Carolina and Middle Georgia.
Is the Annual Fair of tho Cotton States
mechanics and Agricultural Association
In the beautiful and interesting city OF
Augusta. The second Annual Fair is
Just over, and was happy and successful.
And truly it would be useless to describe
1t In detail to our people, for it seems to
us that all Edgefeld was there. Edge
held was powerful in the crowd, power
ful in the exhibition, and powerful in
taking premiums.
We have already, a year ago, described
the grounds and buildings prepared for
the Exhibitions of the enterprising and
dignified Association. They are large,
commodious, and on a scale of great lib
erality. The grounds, however, have
been very little improved since the firs'
Fair. We expected this year to see the
grounds transformed into sort of land
scape garden. but it is not so.
The Exhibition just closed was one o
great beauty and usefulness. It's no
possible though to give, in an article lik'
this, description of the attractive fea
lures of so fine Fair. We can only sa.
.that,the most elegant and perfect in tn
useful and ornamental was there repre-
sented, filling the three vast buildings
to say nothing of the stables and cattl
sheds-with a variety so entertaining ant
so dazzling to the senses that the min
became fairly intoxicated with the won
derful display, and the infinite variety
the handy-works of man, guided by I'll
highest order of human ingenuity.
The President, Mr.. Berckmans, an
all his officRs are gentlemen of com
plete education, strong practical sense
and most cavalier spirit. In fact the
combine the utlitarian, the aesthetic an
the courteous elements in manner whlc
is truly admirable.
We need hardly add, that the most nj
ished and complete creations OF Art sc
ence and Agriculture, productions SUI
posed to be themost perfect of their kin(
are always sent to these Exhibitions,
be examined by the great world. An
to the enquiring mind, to the industriou
intellectual and refined, to those WI
love the South and are interested In N
progress, no more attractive occasion
are now available or within reach, tha

The proclamation restoring Marion
County to civil rights and placing Union
County, South Carolina, under martial
law, has been promulgated. 1t releases
Marion County, and says: Whereas it has
been ascertained that unlawful combina-
tions and conspiraues of the character and
to the extent, and for the purposes de-
scribed in said proclamation, in the coun-
tv of Union, S. c., do exist, now, there
fore, &C., &c. 1t is stated thata clerical
blunderi in writing Marion for Union in the
former proclamation necessitates supple
mental proclamation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.
Parties who left Salt Lake City on Sat-
urday arrived here to-day, and have COM
municated to government officials some
interesting facts connected with the situa-
ton there. They state that the prosecu-
ton of the polygamists is iIjuring busi-
ness very much; that Eastern capitalists
there to invest in mining interests are
leaving; and that (the Mormons areleav-
ing, and that the fGentiles are curtailing
their business operations and sending their
wives and children to places of safety. 1t
is added that the government has recently
sold to these very Mormons old muskets
Tor dollar apiece, and that if war comes
the Mormons will present formidable
front, though it is not improbable that
they may all emigrate to Mexico. 1t is
estimated that not twenty Gentiles in
Utah favor the persecution of the Nor
mons, and that even the Federal mill
tary authorities are Indifferent to it on the
surface, and at heart are opposed to it.
Thdse representations will have no effect
as it was decided in the Cabinet meeting
on Tuesday to continue the present policy
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.
The Presidents instructions to the Fed
eral officers were that there should be Q
firm but judicious enforcement Of the
laws in Utah, and no compromise with
criminals.
The latest official reports represent all
danger Of collision as over.
The President has no present intention
to suspend further the habeas corpus in
the South, unless condition of affairs
similar to that in certain counties in South
Carolina occurs elsewhere.

W The following paragraph, copied
from the Baltimore Sun, of Saturday last,
the 4th instant, throws some light on the
great depreciation in our State bonds:
"While United States soldiers are hunt
ing the farmers of South Carolina, the
Governor, Comptroller, Treasurer and
Attorney General Of that State are in New
York. The State Bonds have latterly
declined seriously in that market, having
in little more than year fallen from
eighty to forty. The last decline has
been generally attributed to the political
raid, but the New York World of the Sd
inst, hears startling rumor that there
has beo,l an over issue of 10000, 900 State
Bonds"
Apropos of this subjecta correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial writing
from Columbia, s. ):
"After the Ku-Klux are disposed OF
there is one more thing to be done to
bring peace to the State. The thieves
must be rooted out of the State Govern
ment. There are men in Office here who
are sucking the blood of the State, who
are swindling the people out of tens OF
thousands of dollars every year. They
are as bad as the Tammany ring, and the
only thing that keeps them from stealing
as much is tho fact that there isnot so
much to steal. They take all they can
get, however. There are men here in
Columbia occupying positions in the
State Government who have grown sud
denly rich by stealing. They publish
the fact to the world by sporting gay
equipages upon the streets and living
like princes. This aggravating and Or
ganized robbery of an impoverished peo-
pie is one of the main causes of the ex-
istence of the Ku-Klux-Kla

~ A recent cable dispatch from Lon
