The potential of the press is now uttering, in the most piiatic tones, its warnings against such opin ,uaml its counsels to a policy diametrically opposite of them. It is in this phase of public opinion that we see light before aial feel encouraged to express our confi •• for the is?i:e.

THE FAIR. ihe second Annual Fair of the South Ca •' Institute was closed on Saturday night li was visited by a very large number of ■'..and up to the latest hour of the Exhi *he spacious Hall was thronged by our and strangers from the interior. Had 1 air been continued for two or three days of Week, the interest would scarcely have ‘bed. It is truly gratifying to us to re 'b's complete success of an exhibition, i when it was first projected, was looked ;i by many as a somewhat quixotic move file most sanguine friends of the In duj not anticipate all the results which crowned their labours, and which afford a - a| igury for the future. ‘bould be glad, if our space would allow >o notice the catalogue of articles upon “‘on, in detail.

It afforded unquestionable IC -e of a general advance during the year. ,lUe that there were some magnificent arti ::i hie Fair last year, whose vacant places ‘■ not filled at the present exhibition. The Was felt, and with some an im "■'Jn that the whole display was inferior to 1 waier. We cannot, however, consent to ’ o P‘ Q ion, and for two reasons. First, be of the greatly increased number of ex ; and, secondly, because of the more practical, every-day character of the articles sent to the Pair. A very decided progress was manifested in nearly all the branches of nianu iacture, and especially in those fabrics where quality is apparent only to the eye of the con noiseur. There were between four and five hundred objects upon exhibition, embracing a very large variety—agricultural, mechanical and domestic. Among the new inventions ex hibited, we noticed particularly a machine for filing saw-gins, by which 200 saws can be sharpened in a day. The machine was invent ed by Mr. Drown, of Columbus, Geo., and is very neat and simple in its construction. Co lumbus also contributed to the Fair an im proved Cotton Gin—a very valuable patent. In a basement room, a number of machines were put in operation by a steam engine erected for the occasion. Mr. Chrietzberg, of Charles ton,exhibited models of a circular stair-case and a cylindrical lire ladder. Sharp’s patent rifle, for breech loading, and discharged by May nard’s patent primer, was one of the most per fect pieces of mechanism at the Fair. Artizan ship was more strikingly displayed than Inven tion, and we could fill pages with the briefest notices of interesting specimens of various kinds. A “ cab phaeton,’’ as tile catalogue terms it, attracted general notice, as much, perhaps, that it was of a most unusual size, as for its really neat style of finish. The maker, Mr. Artman, would have done better to have exhibited a full sized carriage of equal finish. A carriage by Messrs. Reynolds attested their ability to rival the best Newark work ; and a cart by Mr. Ar nold looked as though it might last forever. A very neat sulkey, by Mr. Branford, and a well finished buggy from Orangeburg, complete the list of vehicles, all, except tlie la-t, entered from the city. The successful competitors of last year, from Columbia, seem to have been reposing upon their laurels. Their city, how ever, had its mechanical genius and skill both admirably represented in the department of Dentistry. Drs. Blanding and Avery exhibited a ease of artificial teeth set on atmospheric plates, which, tor delicacy of workmanship and finish, we have never seen equalled. They took the gold medal at ihe great Fair in New York. In connection with them, we mention a ease of beautifully finished cental instru ments, made by Mr. Heinz, of Columbia, and reflecting the highest deacee of credit upon his skill. He can furnish the profession, we learn, at Northern prices. We saw fine eassimeres, heavy osnaburgs, and various cotton goods of Southern manufacture. Leather in the skin, and made up into brogans, and thence upward to the finest dress boots, gave proof that we can compete, with new England in those fabrics. Os cabinet making, the specimens were few, as also of upholstering. Embroidered ottomans, chairs and piano stools, displayed the skill of the lair daughters of the South, whose handi work in a hundred other shapes decorated the walls and tables of the Hall. Os quilts, with innumerable octagons, coverlets with and with out fringes; bonnets, from one of pine burrs to one of satin and ostrich plumes, and of chenille, crochet and shell work, we shall not be ex- pected to write particularly. Two large pic tures in worsted work, wrought by Mrs. Ro berts, deserve notice. Os the display in the Fine Arts, we have a few words only to say. With no wish either to disparage or discourage the competitors, we must confess that this de partment of the Fair seemed to us very feeble. The paintings which did most credit to the artist, under all the circumstances of their production, were three pot traits by a youth of Augusta, Master Robert Boggs, who is barely nineteen years of age. They evince a most decided and hopeful talent, promising much for the young painter’s future success. A couple of miniatures upon ivory, by Mr. E. S. Dodge, of Augusta, were very beautiful specimens of his Art. Mr. Mayr, had two pleasing oil-painting3 of children. Mr. Cook, of this city, exhibited some very superior daguerreotypes. In the heavier department of labour, we no ticed very superior pumps by Mr. Bull, excel lent plumbing work from the establishment of Mr. Church, engine and machine work by Eason & Brother, handsome axes and hatchets from Orangeburg, very neat brooms and wisps from Mount Pleasant, and a score of items be side, which we cannot enumerate. Os domestic fruits, fresh and preserved, there was an agreeable display—oranges, dried figs, citrons, melons, quinces, apples, and the like. Choice sugars from Florida, wheat and flour from Georgia, rice from our own sea board, cotton from several States, red clover hay from South Carolina, and many other products evinced the fruitfulness of our soil and the geni ality of our climate. We must not forget to mention the exquisite jewellery and silver-ware exhibited by J. E. Spear & Cos. Among other articles, were some made of South Carolina gold. Messrs. Gregg, Hayden & Cos. had also a case of ex ceedingly elegant articles in silver and gold. A tortoise-shell handle pocket knife from Ten nessee, hair and clothes brushes, fine canes, silks and paper, from our own State ; mineral paints and Tripoli from Georgia—all these and many other items bear testimony to the re sources of the South, but being developed. We might greatly expand this article, but it is already long enough, and we close our hasty notice of the Fair, by expressing oui earnest hope that every succeeding one will surpass the former in interested success. (Our snnlv iTnlilf. Tiie Foot-Prints of the Creator, or tiie Asterolepis of Stromness. By Hugh Miller. With a Memoir of tiie Author, by Louis Agassiz. Boston: Goulil, Ken dall V Lincoln. The geological descriptions of Hugh Miller have created the most lively and grateful inter est among nten of science in England in this country. They possess a rare combination of facility and fidelity, which the most successful of scientific writers might well envy, and we venture to assert that they will do more to com mend the science of Geology to popular regard than any other treatises whatsoever. The volume before us is a m-T mine of scien tific truth and beauty, whence the student may derive such treasures of geological lactas will at once delight and bewilder him. Our notice of this work must be brief and general. It is a minute and vastly comprehen sive examination of the fossil geology of the Orkney Isles in the vicinity of Stromness, and particularly of a remarkable fish known to science as the Asterolepis. This examination leads the author to a discussion of the hypothe sis of natural law as it is taught by Lamarck, and by the author of that well-known but heretical book, the “ Vestiges of Creation.” Lord Rosse’s telescopic discoveries have not more effectually destroyed the ‘ Vestiges’ in the vast domains of Astrouomical research, than have those of Hugh Miller obliterated every trace of them from the fossiliferous theories, in which they were veiled with a faint show of dignity and plausibility. Never was annihila tion more absolute than that which the theories of the “ Vestiges ” have undergone at the hands of our author; and those enquiring minds which were mystified and alarmed at the hy potheses of that presumptuous treatise, may now return gratefully to their honest and earn est confidence in the doctrine that the Creator SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. of the Universe still retains His control overall its multifarious laws and operations. They should, however, be grateful to Mr. Miller for so tracing the “ Footprints of the Creator” as to bring light out of darkness, to refute danger ous error, and to magnify noble and exalting truth. 1 his volume abounds with beautiful descrip tive passages, and, indeed, is almost as remark able for its didactic as for its scientific merits. M e can not devote more space to it in this no tice, but we most earnestly recommend our readers who may have been misled by the spe cious vagaries of the “ Vestiges,” or who may love Science and Truth for their own sake, to read for themselves this most attractive and in •teresting volume. The American edition is enriched with a memoir of the author, written by that eminent naturalist. Professor Agassiz, and the work is published with the character istic elegance of the house whose imprint it bears. It may be found at Mr. Russell’s book store. Thu Poetry of Science, or Studies of the Physical Phenomena of Nature. By Robert Hunt, author of Pantliea, &c. First American edition. Boston: Gould, Kendall At Lincoln. In this* volume, Mr. Hunt ha- developed an excellent idea in a very picturesque and satis factory manner. The Poetry of Science is not all at once apparent to the mind of the observer. He must observe well, and comprehensively pe haps, to discover it, but when be has once begun to discover it, its manifestations will multiply themselves with astonishing rapidity, and he will soon realize that the Scientific world is full of poetry. The harmony of its laws, the beauty of its infinitely varied pro cesses, and the startling effects of its phenome na, are all elements of poetry, and hence even a strict propriety would justify our author in treating of the “ Poetry of Science.” The book before ns is the result of a thoughtful and earnest contemplation of Nature in her ex ternal forms and internal developments. The great forces of Nature, and their relations to each other, are graphically described. A poetic aspect is imparted to the deductions of Philoso phy, and the author’s generalizations from facts and experiments, are presented in a picturesque light, in which the dullness of abstract truths is aptly concealed. The reader must not suppose, however, that Mr. Hunt has sacrificed truth to further his de sign. Upon the contrary, we are enabled to assure him that he may rest with a very general confidence upon the details of the volume un der notice. It is* an epitome of modern facts, theories, observations and discoveries, equally comprehensive and reliable, and it loses none of its value that it is presented in a graceful and eloquent style, unencumbered with the preten sions of great learning and unobscured by the affectations of an endless technology. The mind athirst for the delightful waters of know ledge, will drink at its pure fountains and be refreshed. Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects. Translated from the Italian of Giorgia Vasari. By Mrs. Jonathan Foster. Vol. I. London: Henry G. Bohn. We have received the above volume from Messrs, Bangs, Brother & Cos., the American Agents of Mr. Bohn. It is one of the works of his admirable “Standard Library,” which is undoubtedly the cheapest series of “ Books which are books ” now’ being published in any part of the world. Os Vasari’s great biographi cal work, it is needless for us to say more than to pronounce it the most comprehensive, per spicuous and delightful series of lives of the old Artists ever written. It has employed the genius of many able writers during the past three centuries as commentators and annota tors, and the various editions of it have had great popularity. Mrs. Foster’s translation is marked by great fidelity and spirit, and we know of no other complete English version. Certainly there is none extant that more faith fully reflects the spirit of the original. Every library should include Bohn’s Standard Series, which are thick and handsome duodecimos at a dollar a volume ! Memoirs of the Life and Writings ok Thomas Chalmers, D. D., LL. D. By his son-in-law, the Rev. Wm. Hanna, LL.D. In three volumes. Vol. 11. New York: Harper & Brothers. \Ve expressed our satisfaction with the first volume of this admirable biography, and the second has rather enhanced than diminished our delight. It is a work of tho rarest excel lence, almost as unequalled in the style as in the subject. Every page is replete with inter est, and bears the impress of a majestic intellect and an exalted piety. To study the character, as developed in the life, of Dr. Chalmers, is to drink at one of the purest and most exhaustless fountains of greatness and goodness in the hap piest possible combination, and such a study cannot fail to make one wiser and better. Another volume will complete this valuable work, which should have a choice place in every Christian library. The work is for sale in Charleston by Mr. Russell. The Knowledge of Jesus, the most excellent of the Sciences. By Alexander Carson, LL.I). New York: Edward 11. Fletcher. Dr. Carson has been styled * the Jonathan Edwards of the nineteenth century’ by one whose estimate of his reasoning powers and metaphysical acuteness was scarcely exagge rated. There can be no doubt that he is one of the most vigorous and forcible theological writers of this age, and every thing that comes from bis pen carries with it an inevitable weight of influence in the religious world. The theme of the volume before us is a lofty one, and it has called into requisition the best powers ot its author, until every page glows w’ith the fervour of an inspiration seeming almost divine. We need scarcely recommend it to our religious readers. For sale by Geo. Parks &. Cos. Popular Education, for the use of Parents, Teachers and Young Persons of both Sexes. By Ira Mayhew, A. M. New York ► Harper N Brothers. 18.00. ‘l’he author of this highly instructive and use ful volume was lately Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Michigan, and the work was prepared and published in accord ance with a resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of that tate. It embodies a vast amount of statistical iniormation, sound reasoning and judicious counsel. The subject of Popular Education is presented in reference to the whole man —the body, the mind and the heart. It cannot be read without profit by those classes of persons to whom it is addressed. * Three Lectures on Hygiene and Hydropathy. By Roland S. Houghton, A.M.,M.D. New York: Fowler & Wells. 1861. Prefixed to these Lectures is the Constitution of the “ American Hygienic and Hydropathic Association of Physicians and Surgeons,” be fore which the opening address or lecture was delivered. The second lecture is on the Cholera, and the third and concluding one is designed to prove that rational Hydropathy is not ent pyrical. * The History of Xerxes. By Jacob Abbott. New York : Harper & Brothers. The life of the greatest Sovereign of the ancient Persian Empire, affords Mr. Abbott abundant material for another of his invaluable histories for the young. We hardly need re peat, for the tenth time, our unqualified praise of the series of which this volume forms a part. (Dur itaiji Cnlnnitt. Calhoun in Marble. Where late we wept in silence round the bier. Os him who living was our honoured chief; To-day we stood his marble statue near. And in its presence felt anew our grief: For, while beneath the sculptor’s hand had grown, From shapeless block, the tall majestic form ; Its godlike mien, its very look, his own : With Lite’s promethean fire it was not warm ! Dinner to General Hammond. Last week the city authorities gave a dinner to their distinguished guest, Gen. Hammond, who had, the same day, delivered a magnificent oration on tho lite and character of Calhoun. The dinner was got up in the best style of the Charleston Hotel, and did Mr. Mixer and Major Nickerson exceeding credit. It has rarely been our good fortune to see choicer viands or a bet ter served feast. Nearly a hundred were pre sent, and among them several highly distin guished persons. After the luxuries of the table were fully enjoyed, toasts and speeches and songs became the order of the night. The complexion of the festival was decidedly politi cal, and it is not our province to report it fully in th s Journal. We may say, however, that Messrs. Rhett, Colcock, Memminger, Poiter, Simms, and many others, made eloquent and patriotic speeches. A common sentiment of unflinching love to the South and of unyielding determination to sustain her rights at all ha zards, pervaded the assembly. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the representation there of France, in the person of M. the Comte De Lasieryia, a member of the Constituent As sembly and a nephew of America’s fast friend, La Fayette. At a late hour, this brilliant con vivial meeting was terminated in fraternal re gard. Catholicism. Archbishop Hughes lately delivered a lec ture in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York, on the Rise, Progress and Decline of Protestantism, which created quite a sensation in that city. One of his statements is thus reported in the Tribune: * “ The Protestant religion still numbers fifty millions of human beings—an immense num ber, it n.ust be confessed, and among these may be reckoned many men of the most enlightened character and eminent genius and abilities in the world. Yet, under the unhappy auspices ot the first principle of Protestantism, if God would make known to us what was the specific creed of each individual of that fifty millions, tt is probable that not ten out of the whole number would be found to profess the same be lief in every particular. On the other hand, the Catholic Church has its two hundred mil lions, and we run no risk in stating that thpre could not be found ten in whose inmost soul there is the slightest difference of faith.” Jenny Lind in Cuba. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Havana, says that it the Nightin gale of the North should come there, there will be an attempt to decry her style, as not adapted to the exalted taste of the Habaneros. Don Paneho Morti de Torrens is not anxious for her advent there, as it would be doubloons out of his pocket, and lie will have a strong party to sustain him. * Jewelery and Silver .Ware. We beg to call our readers’ attention to the advertisement of Messrs. J. E. Spear &. Cos. in another column. We recently spent an eve ning in the examination of the choice and ele gant goods which they offer for sale, and rarely, if ever, have we found a better selected assort ment. The display of “ gold and pearls and precious stones ” was literally dazzling, arid we greatly admired the massive style of silver ware now in vogue. To our lady readers, in quest of the most tasteful and modern style of brace lets, pins and earrings, or of a bijou watch and chatelaine, or of a curious trinket for the latter, we may safely say that we know not where they can he better supplied. To those who would furnish the table superbly, or ornament the boudoir, their establishment offers large in ducements in the extent and beauty of its stock. We advise our city readers to call and see for themselves, and our country friends will not re gret if they accept oar advice and go there when they visit the city. Teachers’ Convention. The South Carolina Teachers’ Association, as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, will lurid its first annual meeting in Columbia next Tuesday. It is desired and ex pocted that every Teacher in the State, who can possibly do so, will attend. The object of the Association is to promote the cause of popular education, the importance of which to a republican State cannot be over-cstiniated. iTljr litonj Itfnrlit.

Hildreth’s History of the United States. The fourth volume, embracing the history of Washington’s administration, is announced for early publication by the Harpers. A Great Work on the Indians. We had the pleasure, while in Washington, of examin ing a portfolio of the sketches made by Captain S. Eastman, U. S. N., for Dr. H. R. School craft’s foithcoming work on the American In dian Tribes, and for the publication of which, in a style of great beauty, Congress recently made a generous appropriation. The first of seven thick quarto volumes will be published early in 1851. It will contain nearly 500 pages and seventy-live engravings. The contributions of Captain Eastman to this magnificent work are, we understand, entirely a free-will offering, and justly entitle him to the national gratitude. They will be executed in the best style of De vereaux’s illuminated lithographs. Southern Authors are multiplying.
