In the Senate, to day, happened perhaps the most brilliant discutajon of the weasioa. Mr. Turner introduced a preamble and resolution censuring the President for turblog persons out of office in Illinois . because they fa to red 'Mr. Douglas. Mr. Turner spoke upoa it and pour ed' some pretty hot shot into the Democratic party, its policy, Scc. Hon. Bedford Brown re plied, with as much fervor and eanestness m just in his prime. It Created considerable inter est, the gallery beingffull of ladies and lobbies of members of the Hnuse and strangers. It was laid on the table by iyeas 26, naiys 16. The resolution was probably intended to draw oat the sentiaents of the Democrata favoring Mr. Douglas. Immediately a resolution was intro duced say ing tbet the sense of this Legisla ¬ ture" ia against further aid to works of Internal Improvement, which ! was laid on the tables Laying on the table seems to aoswfj all the purposes for which the M previous question" was to be used.

This is Fair week in Colum bia, lad when the coaches were opened, there waa general rush for seats, and hawing only two coaces to the train, they were injcompeteQt to aeat all, and when the train from jGoldaboro arrived the crowd was still larger,and; therewaa much murmuring, which waa much alloyed with profanity, that was a little excusable, for t we do thjnk that in such cases, through passen-1 gers rhouldbe accommodated. We heard some say that it would be their laat trip by ihat route. The President was on board a passenger, and seemed to have no concern for the aceommbJa tion of bis travelers. Another incident which we noticed on tbe road will render it unpopular, and that was, running by stations where persons were waiting to gef aboard. At GbesteTTilI there were at least fifty writing to go on to Col umbia among them were some of raj friends whossy their disappointment was great. After sitting up until one o'clock in the cOId, and then for the ca,s to run by is enough to make s chris tian, at least think imprecations.- The train made good timo and arrived in Columbia at 4 elk. We halted that is, we, put up, or? in other worda we went into the 'Congaree House,' but had not where to lay 'our head. The Hauls and boarding houses had been full for two days, and it was impossible to get a room and nearly so. to get something to eat. We remained in the city two days, and were indebted to a friend for a couch. We visited, the Fair Ground and were delighted with the exhibitions. We noticed that N. C. had some articles on exhibition,; I have not been able to. see the list of premiums, but aoc certain Boy den & Son and Westbrookltook pre miums for their ploughs and spples. Theatock on exhibition was fine, particularly tas horses and cattle. There were a number of 5ugar Cane Mills, wbich appeared to do their work well. We examined a Wheat Thraahe which is now used exclusively in Western Nw York, which certainly is far superior to any we have.
