The examining Committees of the Randolph County Agricultural Society, award the following premiums at the Seventh Annual Fair, held on the 24th, 25th and 26th of October, 1860. * AGRICULTURE. The Committee on agricultural products report that there were 6 specimens of Corn exhibited, each of which wa» very superior as to siie of ear and quality of grain, but none of the producers accompanied the article with any certificate as to the quantity produced on a given quantity of land, or the mode of culture, so that we can award no premiums. The same deficiency occurred iir wheat, turnips and sweet potatoes, though the specimens of each ou ex hibition were very superior.

Esq. delivered the annual Address to a large, intelligent and respectable audience of both sexes, who manifested a lively interest in all ho said, as well as what was going on in Randolph to promote and bet ter their conditimi. Mr. Long’s speech was both beau tiful and instructive and excited the admiration of his audience throughout. .\11 felt, no 'loubt, better satisfied after hearing Mr. Long's sjH'ech, that the work which they had begun on that spot would advance the interest of all who are en gaged in it. The Society has been struggling for seven years with a debt incurred by the purchase of the Fair (trounds and improvements thereon—and this is the oidy reason why the premiums awarded to articles brought here for exhibition have heretofore been so low. Bui now we can say with truth that we have at last obtained light, by having discharged the debt incurred by the pur- cha>e, and for the future we will be able to offer pre miums sufficient to engage and excite a spirit of rivaJry, equal to any other Society in the State. We have four acres handsomely enclosed, with a beautiful grove of native oaks bordering on one side, with in which stands Floral Hall, so lately decorated by the beautiful and the fair, besiiles one oilier building near by. lately erected, ^utficient to accowmodate a large num ber of persons with their many varieties brought here for exhibition. The Society having relieved the pro perty of the purchase money and obtained a title lo the same, intend going into a system of general improve ment by building up and preparing other buildings for the accommolation of stock of every kind and descrip tion that may be brought here for exhibition. And we have no doubt by the lime our next Fair comes off, that we shall have our arrangements so completed, that the grave, the gay Hnd the fashionable will always find something ai our annual Fairs to improve and interest them.

Gilmer.^The Hon. John A. Gilmer is now absent from home and will be un til the day of the election, filling his appointuiente. Mr. Gilmer is doing good and faithful service for his country, and by his soul-stirring and eloquent appeals is rallying the friends of peace and order and the conservative men of the counter to make one bold and determined stand for the Union. During last week, Mr. Gilmer was in the Cotirt House on Tuesday until nine o’clock at night, de fending a man for his life, yet on Wednesday he made a political speech in Alamance, soiue ^irty miles from Greensboro’, and was again in the Court House Thursday morning to defend another man charged with a capital felony—and again on Saturday he addres.«ed his fellow citizens at New Salem in the county.of Randolph. Feeling the ursrency of the case Mr. Gilmer is doing all he can to awaken his fellow citisens to asen.se of their danger.— Greenshoro’ Fatnut. Baltimore, Nov. 1. The Republican Wide Awakes are now march ing through the streets in procession numbering about three hundred, guarded by a strong police who witl*lif5culty restrain the exasperated, spec tators. They are greeted with universal groans and hisses. Some bricks were thrown into their ranks and serious apprehensions are entertained of the officers’ inability to control the feelings of the insulted citizens, until the nigger procession and jubilee is over. Most of the citizens are attracted to an im mense Hell and Everett procession and iJtass meet ing, which is also going on. They have a torch light procession of Minute Men, numbering from seven to ten thousand. It is the grandest display ever seen in Haltimore. Almost the entire popu lation turned out to see the i)roces.sion, and intense excitement prevails, speaking in the S(juare, an illumination, iV:c. 1*. S. The Wide Awake procession, when en tering the Front street theatre, wa.s rushed upon by an immense crowd of half-grown boys, and completely scattered. Their banners, torches, &c., were snuished or carried off by the boys. ^\ hen in the theatre, the hisses, noise and howling was .•0 great, that they were unable to hear speaking. One hundred and lifty police were endeavoring to keep order. Nothing .serious has yet taken place. St. Louis, Oct. 30. Speech of Mr. Crirt ndi u.—Senator Critten den addressed a large audience, composed of men of all parties, at the court house last night. Jle eulogized Douglas, but urged the Union men ot all parties to vote for Mr. 15ell. He could see n(‘ rouiedy whatever in tlis.'^olving the I'nion, or se ceding from it, though the Republican party may elect their l*re.sident. We can uut-vote them in the National Legislature, and prevent harm from being done. PoUtiml Meftiny^ in Muntijomery, Alohama, Xov 1 —The Hreekinridge and IJell parties are both holding separate meetings to-night in this city, and each is largely attended. The speakers are urging resisUince to Lincoln’s election, .liui Watts is addressing the IJellites. Lexinoto.n, Ky., Tuesday, Oct. 3(>. 'tkf liro'kinriJtje Letter a Fortjt ri/.—\ ice- President lireckinridge authorizes the announce ment that the letter publi-shed over his signature, purporting to be addres.sed to Dr. J. T. 1*. Cohoon, Elizabeth (’ity, N. C-, under date of the 5th inst., is a forgery. He ha.s written no such letter. Au«iUST.\, Ga., Oct. 31. iJisunionum Avowed.—despatch troni .1. J. Seibels, E. A. Jianks, J. A. Elmore, L. D. Hol- lingust and W. Garrett, of .'lontgomery, Ala., says that the Breckinridge minute men held a Disunion Meeting last night in that city, at which they openly avowed a preference for Lincoln's election, in order, they declared, that the I'nion might be broken up'. Mitchell, the seoeding delegate from the Charleston (’onvention, came out boldly for disunioni Resolutions were pass ed, declaring in favor ot an immediate Dissolu tion, in the event of Lincoln's election. A letter from (’harleston, South Carolina, dated October lii^th, .says:—“The fire comjtanies are drilling every night, and making preparations tor the coming dissolution. South Carolina will se cede if Lincoln is elected.” All accounts go to show that the most determined efforts are makin to induce South Carolina to /eal off in the effort to dissolve the I'nion and break uj» the govern ment. WASUINtiTO-V, Oct. oO. Senator Wigfall, of Texas, has informed Presi dent Buchanan that he will not resume his seat in the United States Senate if Lincoln is elected to the Presidenay. It is widely rumored, to-day, that Wm. li. Hodge, A.ssistiint Secretary of the Treasury under Fillmore, has received a letter from Mr. Corwin, who has been spending .‘some days at Springfield, 111., in close coniu»unieation with Lincoln, stating that the latter ha', given complete assurance that, if elected, he wi'.l enforce the fugitive slave law everywhere in the North and W est. itujton Lettt r. The above statement is discreiiited. Political.—The Hon. Alexander IL Stephens addressed the largest audience ever assembled in Savannah on Saturday night last in behalf ot Douglas and Johnson. The Republican says the speech was received with the most enthusiastic ap plause. Xot So.—The Breckinridgers are circulating the report that the Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, has abandoned Douglas and declared for Breckinridge. The story is a falsehood, from be ginning to end. Mr. Stephens made a powerful Douglas speech in Savannah only on Monday night last. Augusta, Oct. 30. Reception of Smator Doufjlas in the South.— Senator Dougla.s was hailed enthusiastically on his route through Upper Georgia. Thousands greet ed him at Atlanta and Macon. The Bill Ticket in Virginia.—A Washington despatch says: News from Virginia is positive as to the election "f the Bell ticket, as Mr. Douglas will get at least twenty thousand votes in the State. Many Democrats opposed to disunion will vote directly for Mr. Bell. None of the Con gressmen dare to advocate disunion openly. Western Virginia.—The Alexandria Gazette learns from a gentleman just from the western part of Virginia, whose position enables him to form a correct estimate, that the vote in the Wheeling and Kanawha district for Bell and Ev erett will largely exceed that .given for Goggin, and that Douglas and Johnson will receive up wards of 3,000 votes in these two districts. Breckinridije’8 Strength in the North,—The strength of the Breckinridge faction in the North, as shown by the late election, is as follows: In Maine, the Secessionists didn’t even make a show of a fight. In Connecticut, they were just “no lohar.” In Pennsylvania, the Democratic can didate for Governor, although professing to be a Douglas man, endeavored to “ride both sides of the sapling.” It is estimated th.nt the President’s influence in thb State will give Breckinridge about one-fourth of the Demooratio vote. In In diana, the Breckinridge men went over -to the Republicans, “horse, foot and dragoons. In Ohio, they did’nt show tight. These are facte. If anybody can now figure out how John C. Breck inridge can by any possibility get votes enoug)i in the North to elect him, wc would like to see theni try it on. He won’t carry a single precinct in the North.—Richmond Whig. Decline in the Receipts Oj Cotton. Advices from the South, referring to the decline in the receipts of cotton, intimate that they are not due to the usual causes, but that in many parts the planters are withholding their supplies, in view ot the political uncertainties of the day. The effect of this policy, pursued for a few weeks, would be severely felt both on the New York and the Liv erpool markets, and would probably lead to very grave inconveniences. The only National Harty.—There is but one national party in the country—and that party is marshalled under th« banner of Bell and Everett. It is the only party that can beat the Abolition party—-the only party that “keeps step to the mu sic of the Union”—and John Bell is the only man living who stands the remotest chance of keeping Abraham Lincoln, author of the “irre pressible conflict” doctrine, out of the Presiden tial chair. In case Lincoln is elected his partizans declare that the whole power of the Federal Government will be employed to the injury of Southern inter ests and institutions; and in that event the parti- zan.« «f Brcckiniidge, all over the South, boldly proclaita their determination to break up the (’onfederacy without waiting for overt acts, or anything of the sort! So, between the two fac tions, the true national patriot cannot find room to put his foot. There is threatened oppression on one side, and threatened disunion on the other—ancf only two or three days remain to the Constitutional Union men to decide the cjuestion in favor of the whole country!—liii hmond Whig. • YANCEVISM. We bUALL FIRE TUE SoUTHERN nE.A.RT, IN- sTuut’T Ti!E Southern mim>, give courage TO EA('H other, AM) AT THE PROPER .MO.MENT, BY ONE ORGANl/.El>, CONCERTED ACTION, WE CAN l'RECIprr.\TE TIIK COTTON StATES INTO A REVO- I.UTION.— Vancet/s Slaughter Letter. A few weeks ago, more than tu:o years a fter that letter was written, Mr. Yancey made a four hours’ speech at Memphis. In that speech he reverted to the Slaughter Letter, and said: TheKE is not WORU IN THAT LETTER TH.\T I TAKE HACK TO-MGHT. ThJCRE IS NOT A SKN- TIMKNT rs IT I DISAVOW. Co IT Yancf.v! (Jo it Breckinridge! Who Hruke up the Breckinridge Party?—The Breckinridgers say that Douglas did it, by insist ing upon I’opular Sovereignty in the Territories. .'Ir. Yancey is more magnartimous, and says that he lid it hintxclf. In his Memphis speech, which has been publit-lied by his friends, in an att‘uipt to show that he was not a Disunioiiist, he says: “And yet it so happens when I went back to the Democracy of Alabama, it fell to my lot tj lead off in the cause of conciliation and modera tion, and endeavoring to heal the breach that oc curred at Charleston; to give the Democracy time to repent—to consider. 1 took occasion to lead off in asking that Cottvention to fsfend us to Balti more. Had it been my object to break up the Union by "that disruption. I had already broken Mp the party and had the L nion at my ftet.” The fact that he went back to Baltfaiore is cited as evidence that he was willing to let the Union stand a little while longer; but he admits that he had already broken up the j^arty., and had the Union at his feet. Failing to accom- pii.sh some object at Baltimore, he con6rmed the work he had done at Charleston, and by his own admission, the party, as the result of his conduct, is broken up, and the Union is only a man of straw! And yet, Mr. Yancey is hailed by the Breckinridge politicians as the leader of the “National Democracy,” and a great friend of the Union!—Richmoml Whig. Lincoln and South/rn Statesmm.—The Bos ton Courier makes the following remarkable state ments: “Letters have, to our certain knowledge, been • juite lately addressed, by per'^ona in the ifull pos session ot Mr. Lincoln's confidence, tp leadin statesmen of the South. We are able to name the writers of some of these letters, and the indi viduals to whom they have been addressed. In some instances these letters have been confined to an emphatic assertion of the conservative char acter of Mr. Lincoln's administration, in general terms. He will not rccommend a repeal of the fugitive slave law, nor the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, nor a prohibition of the slave trade between the States; and his op- ]iosition to the admission ot new slave States will not e.xtend to those carved out of territory- south of the 3(»^ degree of latitude. To some persons, who, it has boon thought, might be ap- j)roaehed confidently, indirect overtures have been made to the effect that Mr. Lincoln would by no means confine himself, as far as the South is con cerned, to his own party, but would be willing to place distinguished Southern statesmen of the Union party in his Cabinet. We have heard the names of five distinguished statesmen—four of them members of the Ca'oinets of Messrs. Tyler and Fillmore—that have been approached in this way. These letters, of course, have m)t been writteti by Mr. Lincoln himself. “Honest Old Al^;” is too shrewd to be caught in that trap; but they have been written with his knowleiige and approval!" Baltimore, Oct. 31. First Shock of the Financial Earthquake.— The banking house of Joaiah Lee & Co., ed to-day. The firm.consisted of Cover & Bros, who succeeded to the business, using the name ot the old firm. It was an old and universally known house of 40 years standing. It is rumored that Appleton & Co., bankers and brokers, have also suspended, with several others, and it is intimated that all of these failures have been caused by the depreciation of stocks. Great excitement prevails in financial circles. The failure of Lee & (’o. is considered a bad e. Their liabilities will probably be half a million. The house held large private deposites of merchants and others. The banking house of Appleton & Co. has positively suspended. There 13 much financial excitement, and all kinds of stocks are depressed. There are rumors of other failures. Baltimore, Nov. I. The Money Panic.—The money market has tightened, and the Banks are unable to accommo date one-half of the wants of the merchants. The depositors will lose over 8300,000 by Lee & Co’s failure. The Jrrepresxible Conjliet fi>:gun. I he events of the past week, says the Baltimore Clipper, in the commercial and financial world, are fearfully ominous. Not only have stocks everywhere de clined with terrible rapidity, and money become suddenly scarce in the midst of a season ot un wonted prosperity and plenty, but a very large portion of the Southern paper due in New \ork has been protested, and some of the heaviest business houses have fallen, while others are tot tering. This is but the beginning of the end of what may be justly anticipated from the election of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Badger and the Standard.—The Raleigh Standard is out in a long, and an unusually wordy and wind}' article for that paper, animadvertin upon Mr. Badger’s magnanimity in acknowledg ing his error in voting tor the Kansas-Nebrxska bill. The Standard has always exhibited a pen chant for attacking Mr. Badger, but in this in stance it show.s less reason for it than usual. The Standard think.s the vote of Mr. Badger for the Kansa.s-Nebraska bill was “the best and most pa triotic act of his life.” No doubt it thinks also it was the most magnanimoun, simply because it was a conce.s.sion to the I>einocratic party. Any other species of magnanimity in Mr. Badger, we fear the Standard is hardly capable of apprecia titig. Now any rea.sonable man, we should think, could see nothing in the whole course of M Badger, from first to la-st, in this matter, but magnanimity and unselfishness. The peace anti the happiness of his country, in Mr. Badger’s mind, rose infinitely above all party and personal considerations. He knew that his Whig constitu ency could not endorse and approve of the act, unqualifiedly. He saw that he was going in opposi tion to the acute and far-reaching jud^rment of his political associate, John Bell, of Tennessee; yet believing it to be best—to be a peace measure —to be a quietus upon the everlasting and da maging slavery question, he voted for it. As a Whig, we say he did right at the time to vote ac cording to his hone.‘;t convictions and best judg ment, regardless of party or the personal opinion.s of others. But after carefully watching its prac tical work’nga for six years, he sees clearly that ht was wrong, and that John Bell was right. In the spirit of the true gentleman and man of honor, he embraces the first favorable opportunity, when he could do so with propriety, to acknowledge his error and retract it. And is it possible, that a man of Mr. Badger’s eminence, of his known per sonal integrity and character, cannot in his own proper official pt>sition and in his own native State do so magnanimous a thing as that, without being charged by the Democratic party press of being influenced by the miserable spirit of party trick ery?

Graham and Dunn, we are enabled to publish the census of Greens- borough, which is as follows: Whites, 899 Slaves, 1148 Free Negroes, (34 Total, 2,111 It has, for many years, been the practice with certain unprincipled demagogues, for party pur poses, on all occL«ions, to vent their spleen upon the strong Whig county of Guilford, by casting odium upon her citizens, as being tinctured with abolitionism. The above census of Greensboro’ will show for itself whether or not the people of Guilford are interested in the institution of slave ry. We venture there is not another town in the State, of the size of Greensboro’, in which the slave population bears so great a proportion to the white. The above will also show that, when the citizens of Greensboro’ and Guilford county cast 2154 votes for equal taxation, they were not ac tuated by any selfish motives; but were moved solely and entirely by a sense of duty and right. Greensboro’ Patriot. Killed by Accident.—.Joshua Hedgcock, who lived near Evans’s Nursery, in Davidson County, came to his death by being run over by his wagon, on Saturday last, a mile this side of Salem. He was hauling a load of goods from this place to Salem, and it is supposed he fell from the wagon in front of the wheels, which passed over his body, injuring him mortally. A gentleman came up soon after the accident happened, to whom he spoke requesting him to go tor a doctor, saying, “I am badly hurt.” He died in a few moments after the gentleman came up. He was about twenty-tw(^years of age.—High Point Reporter. Frecks and Reader's FoundryFrecks & Reader have not suspended any portion of their business in consequence of the late fire.
