1 i COLUMBIA S. C. Tuesday Morning, Joly 27. 1869. State Fair.

The approaching State Agricultural Fair waa considered by the meeting of the tax-payers of Columbia yesterday evening, in all its relations. The enter? prise ia one which should receive the thorough aid of our city, and induce the united efforts of her citizens. It is a project which must surely enure to the benefit of tl utr, and must certainly prove of impcitant and material advan? tage to our oity. The city of Columbia and its citizens cannot make a better in? vestment of money than in aiding and fostering this important undertaking an investment which will, without doubt, produce not only to the city, but to the State at largo, tho most substantial and abundant retnrns. The money alone distributed by visitors and patrons of the State Fair, in the various stores, shops, hotels and boarding houses, will bo ma torinlfy felt in every channel of trade and business.

With commendable energy and dusky, many of our rn or ch an ta have TBplaoed their business eetablish moiita upon the former sites, and the familiar namo3 of our commercial mes, and those of new firms who have select? ed Columbia as a theatre of action, meet eye in every direction. Our city presents peculiar advantages to our friends in the up-oountry for trade and The national and savings ban ks, the various offices of private banters brokers, afford every facility in the description pf drafts, atocles, secu ijities aojt The dry goods depart? ments are represented by courteous and merchants, upon whose aWvos andi counters arc heaped an am stock, embraoing every variety of goodswhioh could be supplied by foreign und domestic markets. Goods here may be purchased either at wholesale or re? tail, and quite as cheaply as in any oity of the South. Drugs and medicines, too, can be supplied in any quantity and at proportionate prices, by the gen? tlemen engaged in this branch of trade, shoes, jewelry, crockeryware, clothing, confectionery, books and sta? tionery, saddlery, iron and tinware, may be ordered in our city at reasonable rates and in unlimited quantity, and of the best description. Machinery, too, has a place; the proprietors of our founderies are prepared to compote in their lino with fellonr-workers, North or South.

The cotton market at this point, too, is good and substantial; one of the leading firms, a few days since, advertised to pay in advance, at a stated prioe, for cotton to be delivered in the fall. Our mail is twenty-four hours in advance of Charleston; and if not in ad vance, at least coeval with Augusta. We recom? mend to our friends of tho up-country to take these features into consideration; to join with us in suggesting to the rail? roads forming our line of communica? tion, to reduco their freights, and assum? ing that this reduction be made to give their trade to Columbia, which assuredly, under these circumstances can sell cheaper to consumers and retailers than these points which are farther distant. There is no doubt that tho State Fair, viewed as au investment, must prove profitable to the city of Columbia; anc we urge our citizens, especially our mer cintilo friends, to lend their best endea vors to make it prove a complete ant perfect success. Commodoro Sidney Smith Lee, whosi nt his residence in Staffon County, has been announced, wa a brother of General Robert E.

Lee, formerly an officer of the Union, an? later of the Confederate navy. Ho wa born in Virginia about tho year 1800 end entered tho navy in 1820. At th outbroak of the rebellion, ho held th rank Lieutenant, but ho up his commission and entered the COD federate service as Commodoro. Duriui the war ho did very little of noto, pei haps because he novcr had an opportu nity. Commodoro Leo and Genen Samuel Cooper married sisters, of th name of Mason, descendants of Genero Mason, of Gunstown Hall.

After th war, he took up his residence on tho P( tomoo, in Maryland, but subsequent! returned to Virginia, where ho diod. "Peter, what aro you doing io tin boy?" said a schoolmaster. "He wanto to know if you take ten from sevontee how many will remain, so I took ton ids apples to show him. and now 1: wants I should givo them back." "Wei why don't you do it, then?" "Co: he would then forget how many left." A Northern Opintos? mt Rtalf? Appolnt The Monticell? Watchman sayo: "Richard 'old John Brown's right hand inan at Harper's Ferry, and the youngest of his was recently appointed an Assistant Assessor of In? ternal Revenue in the District of Edge field, South Carolina. The diabolical malignancy with whioh Grant and his officials address themselves to the object of goading the people of the South into frenzy and revolt is witnessed by thou? sands of acta similar to the above.

What connection could be more hellish than this of selecting 'old John Brown's right hand man at Harper's Ferry' for official position among these people? How would any Northern community receive tho appointment as ruler over them of tho chieftain of a band of murderers by whom its men, women and children had been assassinated in cold blood? And yet, here we have now a President ap pointing to an office inquisitorial in his character, and new and irksome to our people at best, 'the right hand man' in a plot which was intended to subject the men and women of tho entire South to the murderous ferocity and brutal lust of the negroes, and whioh, but for its timely discovery would have involved thousands, nay, minions, in slaughter, and ruin. Great God! Haw can Christian men acquit themselves to their own consciences, for giving countenance and support to such accursed acts as these? Aro there not men enough whose hands are not reeking with the innocent blood of their kinsmen, to be placed in office over the people of the South, that Grant, for such a purpose, must dig that abhorred assassin from the depth to whioh an outraged civilization had con? signed him? Can there be in any mind a doubt of the purpose, on the part of the radicals, of suoh acts as these? They Want, by a system of out? rage, of which this is a sample act, to exasperate the people of the South into resentment and resistance, so that thoy may bo afforded another opportunity to involve tho country in strife and carnage, and, under the plea of military necessity, rob yet other thousands of millions from the labor, industry and enterprise of the people. Present success and power may sanctify suoh acts in the eyes of those now blinded with a partisan madness; bnt tho light in whioh history will pre? sent them to Christianity and civiliza? tion hereafter, will clothe their perpe? trators in an infamy not less intense than that in which we, of the present day, re? gard the Culigulas and Neros of ancient Rome." THE RETURN OP SOUTHERNERS FROM the close of the rebellion a considerable number of Southerners, shrinking from tho dreaded consequences of tho triumph of Federal Government, organized colonizing expeditions from Mobile, Charleston, Baltimore and New York-where they were joined by certain Northern emigrants-to Brazil. In tho Brazilian empire the Southerners hoped to find in tho existence of negro slavery a guarantee for something like the ad? vantages which they used to claim in be? half of their own "peculiar institution" before it had been destroyed by the war. They had not the slightest idea that ne? gro equality, as well as negro slavery, was I possible in Brazil.

Moreover, they had been misled by glowing descriptions of tho prodigious fertility of Brazilian soil, and tho inexhaustible wealth of Brazi? lian diamonds, and they were not aware of what an ineffectual struggle had boen maintained for centuries by civilized man against the overpowering forces of nature in that strango land. The last of the homc-sick American colonists arrived in Now York, on Sunday evening, on board tho United States steam frigate from Rio Janeiro. Tho North? erners among them aro satisfied that this is a better country for immigration than for emmigration, and the Southerners aro now ready to prefer their old homes. They ngreo that, after all, tho United States will do to live and die in. Tho most tempting offers on the part of tho Emperor of Brazil will not tempt them to emigrate again.

A clergyman was ono day much an? noyed by those who dropped in after the servico had commenced, invariably clos? ing tho door aftor them. Ho bore the vexation with Job liko patienco, but at length being fairly exhausted from heat, ho vociferated to an offender, "Friend, do, for goodness sake, lot the door be open. I believe if I were preaching in a bottlo, you would put the cork in." Tho radical press of Virginia call colored men "niggers" sinco tho elec? tion. Tho Memphis Avalanclie saja: Some of oar Southern contemporaries have hu qjoroutly spoken of the approaching exo ilo3 of carpot-boggorH, who Trill find their "occupation gone" after the elec? tion. The radical proscriptive journals quote these paragraphs as evidence of the ''rebellions" spirit of tho people.

They would convey the impression that members of this class are to be driven away by mobs, and seek to parado them ia advanco as "loyal" martyrs. Carpet baggery is ia a bad way. It bns just been throttled in Virginia, nod thc 5th of August will render the winding-sheet ne? cessary ia Tennessee. There will be general exodus during the fall mouths for, out of office, few of these follows aro able to live. No oue will molest them.

Nobody will seek to drive thom away by threats or force. As water natur Hy rans down hill, they will naturally pack their carpet-bags and travel when tho tempt? ing allurement, office, soars beyond their reach. Already two or threo defeated as? pirants in our late judicial contest have shaken the Memphis dust from their feet, and sought Official places ia "unrecon? structed" Mississippi. The hegira was necessary. The alternatives were, go or starve.

They did not possess euffioieut brains to earn a livelihood ia a profes? sional way; were too lazy to work, aad too cowardly to steal, aoless nader cover of official position. It will be a sad day for carpet-baggers when military satraps retire from the South before the march of pnblio sentimeat, aad the trae people obtaia a voice ia tho coatrol of their owa affairs. And day, thank God, is near at hjvacT. Thea carpet-baggers, like their otters, mast rise or fall, according to merits. Thea there will be no pri? vileged class to crack their whips over the heads of the people whom their ne? farious conduct has so long kept in the position of "hewers of wood aad drawers of water." The following, from the New York He? rald, we nail delicious reading.

When the laud of lanes finds its level of power, Gen. Grant's "let us have peace" maybe realized NEW ES GLAND GETTING A LAH MED. The immense emigration to the West, and the rapidly augmenting populations of the States of the Pacific from the im? portation of Chinese, together with the significant movements in the South look? ing to the introduction of Chinese or coolie labor in that section, in large numbers, have awakened considerable alarm among New England politicians in regard to the tenure of their hold upon the supremacy of the national go? vernment. Tho papers are beginning to publish statistics showing how the New England States aro losing ground in the matter of the apportionment for mem? bers of Congress, and how their strength is gradually receding, whilo that of the West is rapidly increasing. It is evea proposed to cat Massachusetts ia twain, and orect a new State out of tho Western Counties.

It is also proposed to make two new States out of Maine. This will give New England six additional mem? bers in the United States Senate, and a number of members of tho lower hoase. It is probable other Eastern States that caa be gerrymandered to advantage will also be carved ap into convenient State communities, handy to handle and small enough to clap into tho breeches pocket of any pigmy politician New England may desire to inject into the councils of the nation. We do not leara that tho mighty do maia of the great state of Rhode Island, whiob, it has been said, is not broad euough ia some parts to afford the requi? site space of twelve paces oo which tc fight a duel accordiog to the code-will como nader the carving knife of the rad? ical politicians of her larger sisters. Bul while Little Rhody may be suffered tc remain in tuet there is no mistaking the faot that the New England politicians are becoming seriously alarmed at the pro spect of losing their preponderating in? fluences in the Government.

Some ol tho Western papers have taken up idea, and are pointing to it with exalta tation, ns showing that, indeed, West ward "the star of empire" is taking iu way, with the view in prospeot of the na tional capital being established in St poiot recommeuded oven bj her rival sister city, Chicago. Hooce tho preseat perturbation among the drj bones of tho Now England stagers is but natural. But this is onb tho begiaaiog of tho showor. Ia a fev yonra these New England philosophers with their narrow and bigoted notions their holy exclusiveness, their archet eye-brows and elevated nosos, will be po litically submorged as if by a politico deluge, nod "after the deluge-what?"

J21 Ioteniio ExciUment at Kdgellrld Conrt House, Son th Wo loam, from a gentleman of un? doubted integrity the foUowiafff particn lara of events transpiring at iEdgeflold Court House, Hon th Carolina. A man named Eichelberger, who, in 1861, waa eleoted captain of company, of Confederate soldiers, from Lexington District (now County,) and ho, in the first battle in which his company becamo engaged, ignominiously fled and never returned, was, while on a visit to Lex? ington District since the war, for that other acts of meanness, treated by some of his former comrades to about two hundred lashes, well laid on.

Of course, Eichelberger, who is a "trooly loil" man, vowed in his heart all kinds of damning deeds against tho people of South Caro? lina. With this intent, he represented to Governor Scott that his life was not Bnfe, and obtained the service of four de? tectives, or body guard, at the expense of the State, who have been living with him sinoe about the 1st of June. Some short timo since, this man Eichelberger applied to Governor Scott for authority to raise a company of militia, and has been drilling the negroosat various timos for that purpose, to the great annoyance and damage of the planters. On Thurs? day, the 22d instant, 100 stand of arms arrivod nt Pine House Depot for the use of Eichelberger'? militia. The news spread with great rapidity and soon the village of Edgefield was crowded with blacks of all size? and ages, eager to see what was to be seen.

Corn and cotton fields were abandoned, the excitement was too intense to per? mit of work. The glorious time had come when the nigger was to be master. Eichelberger, with his wagon and the negroes, soon got possession of tho arms. The blacks were armed, and, with Eichelberger at their head, marched into the village and took possession of the jail, in which there were three pri? soners-two whites and one black, one of the white men having only one arm. Mr.

Carvor, the jailer, being powerless to resist, fled from the jail. Eichel? berger placed fifteen of his black bri gands ns guards around the jail, and still old possession of it when our infor? mant left the village, Friday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, and were abusing the two white prisoners as being bushwhackers, and threatening them with death if they did not tell who wcro bushwhackers or Ku Kluxcs in the County. There had been no attempt or rumor of any eflbrl io be made for fhe release of the prisoners. Thewbol? proceeding was a bold, high-handed act of lawless? ness, with the connivance or direct con? sent of the man who writes himself Go? vernor of South Carolina. About one week ago, the Sheriff, Mr.

McDavit, received a letter from Governor Scott, ordering him to discharge Mr. Carvor, tho jailer, or he (Governor Scott) would turn him out of office. The people of Edgefield are burdened with a tat this year 150 per cent, higher than was assessed last year, and now, in addition, will be com? pelled to pay the expense of this band of brigands nt sixteen dollars each and rations per month. The Sheriff, on Friday, ordered Eichelberger to with? draw from the jail, and in case of re? fusal, it was expected he would summon a posse and eject them vi el armis; in which event, blood will flow freely; and those who know of what stuff the men of Edgefield aro made, can have no doubt as to who will suffer. Deputy Constable Kennedy, of Ham? burg, arrived from Edgefield Court House yesterday afternoon, as we learn, bringing tho information that 200 ne? groes are in the town, under arms, but reports all quiet.

He also brings thc rumor that 100 of the negro militia are to bo sent to Hamburg. This latter move, if mado, will probably be with a view to hold in check the sympathetic Ku Klux on this side of the river, while the model carpet-bag Governor of South Carolina, aided by his black minions, makes a St. Domingo of Edgefield. It will require, we opine, a stronger force than 100 kinky-heads to restrain Georgia sympathy, if any suoh proceedings are instituted. DOWN ON Phillips, the great brain and fire-brand apostle of radicalism, after hoping that the Indians will demolish tho Pacific Railroad, un? dertakes himself to demolish Grant, of whom he says: "When Grant so absurdly, and with? out consultation, flung an administra? tion at tho country, wo trembled at such proof of his unfitness for bia great place.

And every experience with that administration has increased our fears. There are able men in that Cabinet; mon fully equally to tho special duties of tho placo assigned them.

Tho following advertisement appears under tho head of "a wife wanted:" "Any gal what's got a bed, a coffee? pot, skillet, knows how to cut ont breeches, can make a nuntin' shirt, and knows how to tako care of ohildron.

-Pursuant to notice, a meeting of thc tax-payers of Columbia was held, in tho Court House, yesterday afternoon. A largo number of our citizens were in attendance, and much interest was manifested. OD motion of W. B. Stanley, his Honor Mayor McKenzie was called to the Chair, and John T.

Sloan, waa requested to act as Secretary. Upon taking his sent, the Chairman explained the object of the meeting, which was for the purpose of raising an appr opriation to meet the expenses of the construction of necessary buildings for the Agricultural aud Mechanical State Fair, to be held in Columbia in No? vember next. Col. J. P.

Be it, therefore, Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, tho interest of Columbia im? peratively require that such an appropri? ation should be made, tho amount to bo loft to the discretion of thc city. Mr. Edward Hopo proposed the fol? lowing, which was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of two, from each ward of the city, be appointed by the Chair, to solicit subscription from citizens to construct tho building for the Agricultural and Mechanical State Fair. The Mayor asked tho indulgence of the meeting to appoiut tho committee, under the above resolution, and report through the PHOBNIX.
