Tb? Boatil CarollDb SarvlToir?' Asaoelev
tlon-Qen. Karl y, or Virginia.
The South Carolina Survivors' Asso?
ciation will meet this morning, at 10
o'olook, in the court houBe. As dele
gates have been appointed from most of
the Comities of the State, we have rea?
son to anticipate a large gathering.
That the meeting will be earnest? influ?
ential and moat intelligent, we feel sore.
In the evening the gallant old Virginian,
Gen. Jubal A. Early, will address the
association. We take special pleasure in
presenting to this State and this commu?
nity this distinguished and patriotic sol?
dier. Let bim, as ho oomes in oar
midst, be greeted with a warm reception;
let him, as he rises to address his old
comrades, be welcomed with a hearty
cheer. Gen. Early waa, prior to Virgi?
nia's act of secession, j a warm Union
man of the County of Franklin, in the
"Old Dominion." He held that seces?
sion was not the proper remedy for the
evils of which Virginia justly complained.
In the Virginia Convention, he opposed'
the withdrawal of his State from the
Union. When, however, Virginia de?
cided to secede, and passed her ordinance
of secession, Gen. Early acquiesced,
like the dutiful son that he was of the
mother of States, statesmen and soldiers.
He returned to his County. His people
sustained bim almost with entire unani?
mity. He raised a. regiment and began
his career as1 a military man. How gal?
lantly be I fought and how nobly ho en?
dured we need not here detail. His mi?
litary record is before the country.
When, the war ended, he wore the s tura
of a high general officer. Now, after a
lapse of more than six; years, he appears
in the capital of this State to address the
South Carolina survivors, many of whom
so long and so gallantly fought or bled
or suffered under his command. We
need say no more. All that is womanly
in woman, all that is manly in man, will
respond to the memories that he may
evoke ind io the aspirations that he may
suggest.
Auxiliary Joint Stock Company?
We dos ire briefly to bring before the
people of tho State the proposition
adopted at the last meeting of the State
Agricultural and Mechanical Society.
The question arose-how shall we plact
the society upon a better and more progres?
sive basis? The answer waa and stands
By forming a joint stock company, auxili?
ary to tho present State Agricultural anc
Mechanical Society.
In this way it is proposed to angmenl
the revenue derived from the preaenl
society, by so much as may bo d?riv?e
from the joint stock investment. In thu
woy it is believed that the success of om
great enterprise will be no longer be con
tingent upon accident or occasional em
barrassments. In this way it is believer!
that the society will be enabled to enlarge
its operations and make the appoint
mente of our fairs, and tho fairs them
selves, more worthy of our peoplo, anc
more in keeping with our just aspira
tiona. We trnst, therefore, that the joini
stock soheme will be promptly taken oj.
and endorsed by the whole State-fron
where the sea sparkles in the sunlight tc
where the mountains rise in grandeur
from Charleston to Ooonee, and fron
Horry to Abbeville. Let us, if wo can
enlist the wholo State in this grand in
dostrial enterprise of our annual contra
fair, which, getting its tributary stream:
from all quarters of Soath Carolina, abai
bend to the development of all tho re
sources we have of mind and mat*er.
The shares aro $10 each. Subsorip
tiona have already been started here. Le
the work go on, Let tho amount wantei
be raised. On this (Friday) evening
let the joint stock company be organized
The State Agrioultnral and Mechanics
Society needs an ally. Let it, on thi
ovening, seonro one in the formatioi
of the auxiliary joint stock company.

REPUDIATION, as the only means of redres
left to an outraged and plundered people
EXCITEMENT IN AIKEN.-We learnei
at a late hour last night that mach ex
oisemont had been caused in Aiken o:
account of the shooting of a young gen
tleman named Turner, by a mob o
negroes. Tamer was wounded in on
leg, whioh was afterwards amputated
From what we could gathor, tho negroe
thought that Tamer was the father o
the obild shot by a negro woman a sbor
time aioce, and who was herself shot b;
an unknown person shortly afterward?
The act was, therefore, apparently don
in revenge for ber death. Turner, how
ever, was not the father of the child.

THB COTTON OBOT OP MARION.-Th
Marion Crescent says: "From oonverso
tion with many planters we are incline*
to hope that the ootton crop of this yea
?lay reaoh two-thirds of an average."

numbera of people visited the fair
grounds. Thc crowd, though not quite
aa large aa on wednesday, waa still very
great. The ladies turned out in great
numbera, attracted by the desire to wit?
ness the feats of horsemanship which
were in anticipation.
The first matter of interest was the
ploughing match. This attracted all the
farmers and planters, who are judges of
this important implement, and richly
were they repaid for the trouble. About
twenty-five different varieties of plows
were entered, embraoing every conceiva?
ble variety and improvement. The work
performed gave general satisfaction,
showing that perfection had almost been
reached in plows. Agriculturists derived
many valuable bints, and will carry home
with them some new ideas upon (he plow
question.
The next matter of interest was the
awards of superiority to the oattle and
led horses. Tbe former were visited
at the stalls, and critically examined by
competent judges, who found no little
difficulty in coining tb a decision, where
all are so excellent. Among the finest
of the oattle we notioed the following:
Devon boll, three years old, entered by
E. S. Irvin, Greenville.
Short horn Durham ball, three years
old, W. H. Framer, Edgefield.
Durham heifer, two years old, B. A.
Griffin, Abbeville.

Harness ox, J. G. Lykes, Riohland.
Heifer calf, six months old, John Alex?

There were others, bnt the above will
suffice to give some idea of tho kind of
cattle on exhibition.
Among the horses, wo notioed particu?
larly:
One pair matched mares, Sonth Caroli?

There were a number of others, but
our space will not permit us to mention
all.
A match game of base ball was played
between the Palmettoes, of this oily, and
the Mutuals, of the garrison. The score
stood: Mutuals, 28; Palmettoes, 5; five
innings; four innings to be played to-day.
At 12 o'clock preoisely, notwithstand?
ing tho rain which oommenoed falling
gently, tho knights who had entered for
tbe sport of riding at tbe ring took thoir
positions. There were fifteen in all,
under command of Col. A. C. Haskell.
Several of the riders appeared in cos?
tume-one representing a zouave, an?
other tho black knight, and a third with
a full Confed?rate uniform, with trim?
mings and bars of a captain of artillery.
As maj be expeoted^ his appearance
elicited no little applause, and every one
wished in bis heart, if he did not express
it with his lips, that the gray would win
the day. The ridiug was very spirited
and displayed somo daring horseman
ship. Throe rings wero suspended from
mgm n ... ,, ,? . , ., , . , f .i^glfly^-w^vj^
sue? stretched eoross tb? track, ?bout
fifty feet apart. The rider, with fauoo in
1 haad, came rashing ?long at the loll
! speed of bis horse, and attempted to
carry off each of the rings, whtoh wera
not more than two iuohea in diameter,
apon the point of his lance, ile who
faded in carrying off any was greeted
with no applause; bat tho one who car?
ried off one, two or three rings, as he
rushed madly along, was greeted with
deafening cheers from the excited spec?
tators. After each rider had made three
attempts, in turn, to carry off the rings,
the result waa announced by the judges.
The first four, who alone were entitled to
receive prizes, were first and second A.
O. Hammitt, of Darlington, and M. ul.
Buford, of Newberry, tie; and third and
fourth, A. B. Joiner and J. F. Muldrow.
The first two entered the lints to decide
the championship. M. M. Buford, the
zouave knight, carried two rings, i'hun
followed A. O. Hammitt, the Confede?
rate oaptain, carrying away two rings
also, thus making another tie. Zouave
aiade another start, and carried off two
rings again, when on rushed the Con?
federate captain, carrying the three
rings upon the point of his lance, amid
vocif?rons cheering. The old gray was
once more victorious. Tbe prizes were
not distributed, bat will be to-morrow,
except a huge tin cup to Mr. Li. Levy,
for the poorest success. Mr. Levy re?
ceived his hard-earned prize amidst the
congratulations of his friends, and wore
it around his neck for the balance of the
day. Under the judicious management
of Colonel Haskell, this entertainment
passed off without anything ooourriug to
mar the pleasure of the occasion, and
every person expressed himself as highly
pleased wit h the sport and its result.
The drizzling rain drove all the ladies
and many of the gentlemen into the
buildings, which became so densely
packed as to render locomotion almost
impossible, but good humor and gayety
prevailed on every bund. Merry peals of
laughter rang out from happy heurts, and
pleasant conversation among mutual
friends whiled away the hours only too
rapidly.
The Bazaar, as usual, was the centre
of attraction. The Indies seemed to
have improved upon thejr experience of
the previous days, as their dinners aro
better and better every day. We do not
believe they can improve much more
upon them. If anyoody does not be?
lieve what we Bay, let them order a din?
ner for to-day, and judge for themselves.
We noticed quite a general displuy at
one table, no less than four ex-Confede
rate Generals being there Heated, enjoy
ing their dinner us mnch os though ii
was bacun and hard tuuk, eaten under ax
old tree, or in the saddle, after twenty
four hours fast.
In the mechanical department quite i
number of additions have been made, it
the way of labor-saving maohinery. Tin
Messrs. Sprsgue, of lihode Island, ex
hibit specimens of hammered horse shoes
made by the Perkins pattern. There ari
twenty-eight samples. They have takei
the prize in quite a number of fairs thi
season.
Tho various cotton gins were pnt ti
work by steam, and attracted much ob
servation from plantera and dthers inter
ested in the staple. They all did thei
work admirably, and the judges had m
little difficulty in deciding which was th
beat.
A turbine water-wheel was exhibitei
by Dr. C. J. Fox, of Charlotte, N. C.
the patentee. This is a new wheel, pa
tented within the past year, and claim
many advantages over all others, esp*
ciaily in simplicity and in cheapuest
There are but four castings, and the en
tire cost is only $150.
The household pet is exhibited b
Capt. F. Watson, Jr., of Edgefiolt?
Capt. Wataou has but one hand, but ha
already invented and manufactured sc
veral important machines, of whioh thi
is probably tho most valuable. It i
eminently a labor saving machine, an
is intended to bluck boots, clean silvei
knives and forks, grind knives and sci;
sors, kc, kc, aud all by turning
handle or working a troddle. This i
just tho thing to have in the house, i
tho out-of joint times, when servants ar
so hard to get.
The Harrisburg family corn sheller i
exhibited by Chipley k Hutchison, wb
owu the right for the State. This lit tl
machine costs $2 50, and will shell frot
five to .six bushels of corn in au hom
with case. The little hand machine
costing sixty cents, will do nearly it
well. Hero is a lino chance for partie
wishing to buy County rights and muk
their fortune, for every family needs one
The Messrs. t?prugue also exhibit, un
der a tent upon the grounds, their unri
valed mower, which bas taken thu priz
over all others at every fuir whore it hu
been exhibited this season. It is a pei
feot pieoo of machinery, simple in con
struotion, durable, easily understood an
worked, and will last, with proper care
for many years. It is tho very thing fe
our fiat oouutry. They also exhibit th
most complete stove, that has been see
in this city for many days. It combine
many advantages; hus patent extensio
legs, patent tea kettle, and every othe
convenience, and is sold at remarkabl
low prices. We are glad to see thea
gentlemen taking so much interest in al
fairs in this Stute, and hope they wi
feet that they belong to us here, aud wi!
lend us their valuable aid in re-boildin,
our waste places.
The finest race of any whioh has oe
curred this year came off yesterday
The horses were Hickory Juck, by J. A
Chambers, and Rip-rap, by Boy oe k Cc
Trotting mile heats, bust three in five
The running was exceedingly close
Hickory Jack won the race; time, 2.40
2 53, 2 51 and 2.51. Rip rap madespleu
dui time, but Hickory Jack kept dos
down to his work, without break-up, an
won the raco by hard, steady work.
Everything passed off pleasantly, an
nothing occurred to mar thc pleasure c
the day, excepting the rain, but tim
only served to intensify tho pleasure in
doors.
To-day promises to be the great day
of the fair. There will be a grand dis
giay of riding and driving in the arena,
ingle and doofble teams Ufad ?addle ?
hones will all be shown off 'to th s beet
advantage, and some exciting soen?? will
be witnessed. fc .- -* -
. A novelty, in the shape of a bull raoe
-the animals to be hitched to buggies
will add to the variety and tend not a
little to the excitement cf the day. Se?
veral races will ? also be run, for which
entries have already been made of sohle
of the fastest horses in the State.
The attractions iuBide will fully com?
pensate for the rain outside, should wo
be visited with any, and we can assure
everybody that they will enjoy a happy
day, among all the mutters of interest
aud peoplo o? interest crowded in the
buildings, so there is no necessity for
permitting tho rain to keep oue away.
Tho committees will be busy to-mor?

awarding the premiums, which will be
given out on Saturday.
