The Financial Situation.

The effect of the great panic in New York
has been felt throughout the country. In all
the principal towns and cities, business has
been stagnated, and the wheels of commerce
efectually locked. In the South, the banks
and business men have generally agreed to
sustain each other by temperate and prudent
action during the crisis. The cotton markets
show plainly the effect of the financial storm.
The lack of currency suspends the purchase of
cotton in the interior markets, and the crop is
moving slowly, as matter of course In due
time, the money will be forthcoming to buy
cotton, and the Southern planter can rely upon
it that there will be a demand for the staple in
few weeks, and we trust corresponding
advance in prices. .>...... .s.
The general aspect of the financial situation
indicates an early resumption of business. The
heaviest failures have already taken place, and
when the sky is cleared, with the debris Of the
storm removed from sight, the legitimate chan
nels Of trade and commerce will resume their
accustomed appearance.

An Afflicted Town.

The town of Shreveport, La, has been most
dreadfully scourged by yellow fever, and the
latest advices show no abatement in the epi-
demic. The population of the town. is about
5000, and since the LIST of September 40
deaths have occurred. About 700 cases we're
reported last Friday, aud the number Of deaths
upwards Of twenty each day last week. All
places of business are closed; many of the
leadSng merchants have died, and whole fami-
Lies lave been swept away. 1t is one of the
most fearful epidemics that has ever visited a
community, and the destitntion among the
people is as fearful as the disease. Large Sums
of money are required to meet the destitution,
and aid has been received from many quarters,
but thsstrlngeaey Of the- money market every
where has doubtless lessened the contributions
for the relief of the suffering and destitute

The State Fair at Columbia.

From all we can gather, the officers Of the
State Agricultural Society and the people of
Columbia are making splendid effort to have
the approaching Fair one of the grandest gath
erings ever witnessed in that city. 1t begins
on the 10th and ends on the 14th of November,
including FIVE days. The premium list has
been extended, the grounds enlarged and put
in fine condition, the hotel accommodations
are much improved, and the houses of the
citizens will be thrown open during the Fair
week. Besides, the Auxiliary Joint Stock
Company are adding to the general attraction
by giving nearly $1,000 in speed and horse
premiums. We look for happy reunion OF
our best people from every section Of the State
at Columbia, and trust there will be large
attendance of exhibitors and visitors from An
derson County. Premium lists of the State
Fair can be obtained at.this Office.
