COLUBEBIA, S. G. - Friday Morning, Sept. 17, 1868; jr i.- , -, , ? fi, - --- TM? Slate Agricultura : ima Mechanical Sooicy. The period is approaching for the Fair of oar State Agricultural and Mechanical Society. Wo hope that oar friends throughout the State, from the moan tains to the sea-board, are preparing for this important enterprise. Judging from tho indications, we have every reason to believe thai the Fair will be well attend? ed, &nd. although we shall labor nader many disadvantages for the first year, yet no doubt the ann nal - Fairs in this State will bo resumed nuder good aus? pices. Ia other States, the subject is re? ceiving the- attention it deserves. The New York Herald ?aya: "THE SEASON OP FAIRS.-September and October are the chosen months of the year in whioh the different State and County Fairs are held all over the United State?. It ia especially the season -when the staple products of the republic are in their full, perfection, and in no coun? try in the world, eau a more extensivo variety of the products of the earth be produced than iii this favored land of ours. The New England Agricultural Society has jost completed at Fortland, Maine, its round of the six States in eluded within its limits, being a little premature ia the time for holding the fairs in the Eastern States, for the rea? son that the season is comparatively muoh later there than in the Middle and Western States; bat tho finale was never? theless successful. The Fair of the Ame? rican Institute, whioh is especially de? voted to the exhibition of the results of the inventive genius of our citizens, is now in operation in this city. The State Fairs of New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, Cali? fornia, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska and Missouri are held in the latter part of the present month and in the beginning oz October. The New York State Fair will commence in Elmi? ra September 14, and continue three days. The ninth fair of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association will commence on the 4th of October and continue six days. We learn that preparations are being made to render the latter one of the most superb and successful displays of agricultural pro? ductions and mechanical skill ever held in the Western oonntry, making it, in fact, more of a national exhibition than one purely local. The schedule of pre? miums amounts to over 330,000. Uni? versal activity pervades the County Agri oaltaral Associations, and although they may not be conducted upon so large a scale as the State fairs, yet there is every assurance that they will be managed with a degree of liberality that will mako them popular with all contributors. The pre? sent season has been so prolific in all agricultural productions, in the cereals as well as in fruits, vegetables, flowers-in short, everything that a bounteous soil and a varied climate can bring forth, that we feel confident in predicting a series of unparalleled successes in all the undertakings this fall of onr agricultu? ral societies, tending as they do to the promotion of the interests of so impor? tant a class of our industrial population." The Winnsboro News thinks tho pro? position of the meeting in Union County to repudiate the radical State debt comes too late. With regard to Gov. Scott's pet scheme, it says: "Now tho State would not, perhaps, approve of tho Blue Bidge Railroad job, if it were a question ab inilio, but threo or four millions having been invested in the job al? ready, the sentiment of the State is, that less will be lost by finishing it than by stopping short with it half way." At a public meeting, held in Wal? halla, on the 11th instant, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That, in tho judgment of this meeting, the County of Oconee should subscribe the sum of $200,000, if the Air Line Railroad shall bo built and a depot located within or near the court house town of said County; and, if else? where in tho County, then a reasonable amount in proportion to the benefit to be derived from it by the County. DEADLY OIL AGAIN.-Tho Chemical News, for August, has tho following: "Four children were bnrncd to death at Corydon, Indiana, on the night of Joly 3d. Tho fire is attributed to the explosion of a lamp while the children were all asleep. Jnly 13, Nora Wolf, of New York, aged fourteen, was fatally barned by au explosion of kerosene, used for kindling u fire. July 14, John Stein, of Yonkers, was shockingly burn? ed by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. July 13, a korosene lamp exploded at 71 Bayard street, New York. Mrs. Ami Festlonel was burned to death in Balti? more by the explosion of a can of kero? sene oil: Mr. Wellington, of Boston, was fearfully burned by the explosion of a lamp containing 'lucine oil.' The lamp was shattered into more than 100 pieces. 'Lucine oil' is a light aud dan? gerous naphtha, ono of tho most explo? sive products of petrolenni. The East Hampton Rubber Thread Works and tho Valley Pump Company's Works were de? stroyed by fire July 12, caused by an oxplosiou of naphtha; loss, $140,000. We shall continue to record these shock? ing casualties caused by dangerous kero soue oil, till, by pnssago of suitable laws, we are satisfied that the public has bcon properly educated on tho subject." A boy at Leavenworth put a charge of squirrel-shot into tho head of a colored sorvaut girl, killing her instautly. Those boys aro always bothering the girla' heads. WUUe Immigration.

Boinest, President Newberry Immigra tion Society: WALHALLA, August 16, 1869. Major ? W. Pa>r, Alston, S. C. DE AU SIR: I am here endeavoring to re? cruit my health ; nnd yours of TToly 58, moiled 81st Joly, ic 'now before me. I drop yon a Une in reply. I am glad to learn that your District Society is turning thoir attention to the subject of immigration, as I regard it the only salvation of our country; and will be pleased to give you any information in our power. We novo already brought in nearly 300 immigrants, from sixty to seventy five per cent, of whom nave proved themselves good laborers. I haye now on my place nine who aro giving far greater satisfaction than the free negro; and who are employed for wages, whioh negroes show an unwillingness to do, and whom the Union Leagues have in? structed to demand half of what they make next year, which the planter can? not possibly give. In view of tho probable scarcity of labor noxt year, we will doubtless have more orders for immigrants this winter than wo will be able to fill, so thoso who wish to secure laborers through tho so? ciety should file their orders as soon ns possible, for they will be filled in the order in which they are given. Our agent will go on to Castle Garden early in November, and remain there until near tho end of December, and se? cure all the laborers who can be induced to como South; and these will bo given to parties who have ordered, according to their names on the order book. "First como, first served." Wo will endeavor to mako arrange? ments with all the railroad companies in the State to deliver immigrants at lowest possible rates, and, of course, where most convonient for parties, wa will do liver them at stations on the Charlotte Road. Your people shoald endeavor to be in time with their orders, as some laborers will be sont on as carly ns 15th November, and theso can bo of service in getting out the oottou orop. We will in a short time issue a circular setting forth our plan of operations and terms, and will send you some to distri? bute among thoso interested in tho work. Very respectfully, T. S. BOINEST, President Newberry Immigration So? ciety. M. ROCHEFOKT ON THE IMPERIAL AM? NESTY.-M. Rochefort, the leader of the "Irreconciliables," as he is now styled, writes as follows with regard to the late amnesty of the Emperor Napoleon: "To-day, my friends inform mo, that a sponge has been passed over my past ca? reer, and that an august olemency (Cle? mence, du reste, is the name of my cook) has remitted the various penalties I have incurred during the last year, by dint of economy and good conduot. Who-what is it-what do they want with me? To what penalties do they allude? Have I been amnestied? I know nothing of it. What law Courts and Government de? cide upon has nothing to do with mc, and I have determined to remain quito unconnected with oither tho ono or tho other. The only sentence and tho only amnesty I can accept, aro those awarded by the pooplo. It forma tho only tribu? nal aud the only power beforo which it is my good pleasure to bow. I shall only return to France when the people recall mo by its vote. I shall ouly ro-ontor my country in obedience to the imperativo mandato which I shall presently solicit from tho electors of tho First Circum? scription. I receive willingly from tho peoplo, which I know and love, but it does not suit me to bo under au obliga? tion to low persons {gens) whom I bavo never seen, and who have never been presented to mc." Fall bonnets aro decidedly larger than thoso of last season. They aro high, towering structures, in the Houri Quatre and Louis Quinze stylos, and once more begin to roscmblo a bona ?de bonnet. Tho frame fits tho head like a closo oap, and worn very far forward. A standing revers of velvet or Bilk is turned up at tho front and at the back. The space between those is filled by a high Watteau puff, on which is looped a mass of trim? ming, which seems to be held in plaoo by the upright revers. Narrow ribbons tied under tho chin hold tho bonnet se? curely. Another style, of Quakerish simplicity, resombling an infant's bonnet in shape, has a close-fitting band in front, and a doep, flat back, or orown, falling in two or throe ourves below to fit ovor tho coiffure of chatolain braids, with re? ference to which it was evidontly de? signed. Tho front frames the face plainly, without ornament; the back is adorned with trailing feathers and vines that bang among tho low braids. MURDEH.--A colored mau, named Frank Burnet, was killed on Tuesday night, about 10 o'clock, in tho roar of tho brick blacksmith Bbop, on Main street. The shot which oansed bis death was distinctly heard by a largo numbor of our citizens. Those who first reached him fonnd him living, but unconscious and unablo to speak. He died in a fow minutes. Nothing positive has yet boon developed as to tho murderer. All the circumstances indicate a premeditated, cold-blooded murder, and we trust tho guilty parties will soon be brought to justice. Tho murderod man is a brother to tho unfortunate man who was wound? ed on the night provious. [Spartanburg Gazelle. Tho New Yorkers boast of a great re? vival in their "Southern trade."

DEATH OF COL. Wll. P. BmgOIiMt. The mournful intelligence of the death of Gol. Wm. Pinckney Shingler, of Charleston, was received yesterday. Col. Shingler's career as a public man, a citi? zen and a soldier is well-known to most of our readers, and his de~th, whilo in the prime of manhood, will be deeply deplored. Axil THE WAY FLOMLSAN FBAKCISCO. A white man and his wife, with two chil? dren, reaohed this city from San Fran? cisco, California, last Saturday after? noon, having made the trip on foot, and been many mouths on the journey. They are on their way "to hum," down East, and looked very muoh like travel? ers.-Petersburg Express. SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.-We are informed, says the Charleston Courier, by a gentleman of high position and re? spectability in Columbia, one qualified to know, that tho statement concerning cer? tain changes [in this institution is mere rumor, and at least unauthorized by the Board. A Wiscousin paper says: "The corn crop is a pigmy; it is a nonentity; it is a factotum, a bankrupt. Everybody seems to have planted the small, yellow kind, and as emblomatio of its goue-upneas, it is wearing tho weeds of uttor discouso lateness. It no more appears in silks and tassels. Joseph of old would make a poor stagger buying corn the coming harvest." HORRIBLE DEATH.-We are pained to learn that a little boy, about five or seven years old, by tho namo of Wm. Thomas, tho son of Mrs. Fortune, residing on Noo's Court, died on Saturday morning, with hydrophobia, having been bitten some seven weeks since. The poor little fellow suffored excruciating agony daring the night preceding his death. [Native Virginian. A man named Daniel Bryant, who "took to" tho swamps in '62 to avoid the draft, was discovered by some negroes, near Newberne, a few days ago, and in? formed that the war was over. He wont to Nowberne with the intention of lead? ing a civilized life, but soon discovered that he was not in a oivilized part of the globo, and immediately returnod to the swamps.- Wilmington Star. Although Vermont is understood to be the stronghold of the Bepublioan party, yet tho Democracy made great gains at the last State election. The Montpelier Argus has a carefully written summary of the result, showing no less than five towns which have been redeemed, and will this year bo represented by Demo? crats in the Legislature. Mir Samuel Baker's expedition loft Alexandria on September 1, for the Lake of Nvansi. It oonsists of ten steamers and thirty Hailing vessels, freighted with merchandise and provisions, as well as presents for tho natives, who are to bo cajoled out of their possessions. Baker beats Cleopatra's fleet and Robeson's Tallapoosa hollow, and the pyramids look down upon him with amazement. Armed negroes, to tho numbor of 200, gathered at Eason's Depot, Tennessee, on the Louisville Railroad, Saturday, and marched through tho streets, bidding de? fiance to the wbitos, threatening to kill any who interfered with thom. Thoy marched to tho jail, bound tho jailor, and liberated several negro prisoners, one of whom was confined for murder. Let us have peac? ! The election last Monday for Intend? ant and Wardens passed off quietly, re? sulting in tho election of tho "dry ticket," by a handsome majority. The successful candidates were: For Intend? ant-J. H. Evins. Wardens-J. W. Carlisle, Georgo Cofield. There was a unanimous voto in favor of ratifying tho subscription of $50,000 made by tho Council to thc Air Line. [Spartanburg Gazelle. A L.VROE FORTUNB.-A Miss Grey, of Washington County, Now York, a milli? ner, thirty years old, was engaged to a young Englishman a few years ago. Ho diod before tho timo fixed for their mar? riage, and left her Sl7.000.000. Tho na? tural heirs of the young man contested tho will, but in vain, and tho young lady is to receive tho first installment of her large possessions in December next. At that time, ?$5,000,000 aro to bo sent her, and tho balanco ns soon as possible. A STRANGE HOMICIDE THROCOH JEA? LOUSY.-Dr. Lott, of Oakland, Misaissip- j pi, killed Capt. F. D. Barnes, a young1 lawyer of that place, on the 9th instant. As wo get tho statement from tho Grena? da Sentinel, it appears that Dr. Lott was addressing a young lady of thut placo, and ho had made n confident of his love affair to his room-mate, Capt. Barnes. Capt. Barnes remarked that he intended soon to seek her acquaintance, and oall upon hor, which ho did. Tho next ovon iug after his visit to her, Dr. Lott called upon her, and was discarded. This in? censed him to a very great extent, and ho seemed to labor under tho impression that Capt. Barnes bad prejudiced hor against him in somo manner. Tho next day, arming himself with a six shooter, ho said to Capt. Barnos, "Have yon not betrayed my confidence? Answer mo truly, for your life dopends upon it." Capt. Barnes attempted to explain, but beforo ho could do so Lott fired, tho ball passing through the heart of his victim, causing instant death. Notwithstanding this, ho stood over tho lifeless and pros? trate man and fired the remaining Ave charges into him; and then mounted his horse and rodo away. -?-r i ANOTHjm STOBT ABOUT TUE SIB JOHN FBA?TJCMN ABOT{<?. EXPIIOBEBS.-A party, 'W?X089 reliability is said to bo ' vouohed for, writes to tho Bulletin from Stn Bu ola Ventura, that a document was found on Uki? beach at that place, August 80, mubh mutilated. In it the flrider*was requested to forward it to tho Secrotary of the Ad? miralty, Lioudou, or the British Consul at'the nearest port. Tho. request was printed in six commercial languages. The margin and every vacant portion was filled with writing relating tc Sir' John Franklin and party, the lost Arctio explorers. The document was evidently coat into the water in latitude 60 deg. 37 rain. 40 sec., longitude 98 deg. 4 min, 5 sec. It gives an account of the desertion of tbe ships Erebus and Terror. The party numbered 105 at the time of the desertion, under command of F. B. M. Crossier. They succeeded in reaching the above latitude and longitude,? where they found a relic of the late Sir John Boss. It states the party wintered at Beechy Island, in 1846-'47, and Sir John Franklin died Juno ll, 1847. It contains many interesting incidents con? nected with the expedition. Gen. Beauregard, it seems, dyes. A letter from the White Sulphur Springs, in sketching tho notabilities at a recent ball there, says: "But what young man is that whose raven moustache may be seen wherever beauty and grace reign most decidedly? Some one whispers that it is Gen. Beau? regard, the great engineer and gallant soldier; but surely that cannot bo, for the last time I saw that great chieftain his hair was as white as driven snow, and his bronzed features were not those of the ball-room gallant. But another look convinces me that my friend is right; especially when I remember tho ready reply mado by tho bravo chieftain to ono of the belles who twitted him on this change. *When I was in command of an army,' said he, 'I used to dye my hair whito to impress my soldiers with a pro por respect for my ago and position; but after the war closed, and tho necessity passed away, I allowed it to return to its natural color.' May his locks never tnru grey, and may ho live long to enjoy tho society of which he is so bright an orna? ment." JOURNALISM. --The New York Times lins an article on journalistic amenities, whioh contains soma excellent sugges? tions. Wo extract the following para? graph: "There is a method of advocating a oanso by denouncing its enemies, which may be, and often is, carried to excess, especially by youthful partisans. It is not by harsh names nor by persistent detraction that men aro persuaded to abandan their opinions, and those who ply that sort of warfare are usually less intent on gaining proselytes than in making a publia or partisan merit of their zeal. No one is fit to be a guide to public opinion who has not learned that the bad men are not generally qaite so bad, nor the good men quite so good as the intemperate partisan is disposed to believe thom, and soft words often dissolve prejudices and errors in our ad? versarios which violence and detraction render solid and imperishable." Henry Frothingham, a merchant on Pearl street, Now York, is, it is asserted, locked up in Bloomingdalo Asylum to prevent his revealing family secrets. Movement aro being made for the re? lease.

From tho surface of tho earth, bathed nightly in heavy dews, from marshes and swamps surcharged with moisture from the dying foliage or the woods, from festering pools and sluggish streams, tho auu of Sep? tember evolves clouds of miasmatic vapor pe? rilous to health and lifo. The body, deprived by the burning temperature of July and Au? gust of much of its vigor and elasticity, is not in a proper plight to resist malaria; an n hence all diseases that are produced by a dopraved condition of the atmosph?re aro particularly prevalent in tho fall. Thors is no reason why the health of thou sauds of people should bo thus sacri?cod.

Jean Elie Richard, whose inventive and artistic abilities are well known in this commu? nity, at least, has, after many years' pa? tient investigation aud experiment, pro? duced a machine, whioh will work an on tire chango in the present process of making photographic pictures. He has called into requisition tho assistance of ordinary dook machinery, whioh, while recording tho time of day accurately., at tho samo timo is the motive power in t ho production of a complete photography. This invention, recently ,patented, hus tho advantage of imparting a softer tint, a more accurate delineation, and in all respects a botter picture than eau be ob? tained by the old method; and being labor-saviug and solf-aoting, the price of the photograph can be greatly reduced. The largo experience of tho inventor, and the successful tests he has applied to this combination, guarantees a faithful and true likeness in the highest style of the j art, and at reduced prices. This im I provement will, doubtless, be brought 1 into general use, and the inventor there I by reap tho reward to which he is so justly entitled. Columbia Hotel-W. D. Gaillard, J. B. Launeau, A. S.
