In speaking of the Exhibition of the Mecklen burg Agricultural Society, on Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, we cannot express our meaning better, probably, than by saying that it was a i u-wL , 1U grand success, equal to any exhibition erer had bj q klnd in North Carolina; and we are sustained in this ol,iniou by persons from various sections of the . ' , L i.1 H . We were pleased to notice visitors and exhibitors present from liurke, Iredell, Rowan, Davie, David son, Guilford, Forsythe, Surry, Cabarrus, Lincoln, Catawba, Cleaveland, Caston, Ashe, McDowell, Union and other counties in this State, and from York, Lancaster, Chester, Fairfield, and Abbeville Districts, S. C. We say we were pleased to see visitors present from the different sections, and we but express the sentiments of all the members of the Society and of the community when we give expression to the hope that they will continue to visit Charlotte on such occasions. People of all sections and of any State have a right to compete for Premiums at the Mecklenburg Agricultural Fair. Let this be remembered. Among the prominent gentlemen present were tjic uon KUis, Governor of the State, jon urton Craige, Hon. D. M. Barringcr, Dr. y ji(Jit) president of the N. C. Agricultural Society, and others. There were SfiO articles entered for exhibition, The quality of all was said, by judges, to be good, but especially was the stock of a superior kind, Over 100 horses and colts were paraded on the ground at one time, and a finer collection we never saw anywhere before. The numerous articles in the Ladies Department were tastefully arranged and showed that the fair daughters of estern Carolina were determined to assist their fathers, brothers, and husbands in making an Exhibition alike creditable to themselves and to their sections. Th receipts at the gate amounted to $982 receipts from all sources during the exhibition about $1,100. THE ADDRESS. The annual Address was delivered by the Hon. D. M. Barringcr, on Thursday, before a very large concourse of persons. We were unable to get near enough to hear all of Mr lis address, but we have heard several of our best farmers speak in com plimentary terms of it, one gentleman remarking that it was the best speech of the kind he had ever hoard. In fact, all were pleased with it. Mr 15ar ringer has many old friends and acquaintances in this section, who were gratified to see him present on this occasion. On Friday, previous to awarding the Premiums, A. li. Davidson, Esq. President of the Society, de livered the following address : A('(r. and Gentleimn. and Members of the Mecklenburg A ijrirult ura I Society : I rise with much pleasure to congratulate you upon the growing interest of the Society, and tbe marked success which has crowued its efforts in advancing the practical agriculture of the county. At the close of this tilth Annual Fair, it is evident that the Society has ceased to be an experiment, and has now become a fixed, indispensable institution. Through its instru mentality our farmers have been stimulated i we n each other in the manifest improvement of stocK; oi 1'r.Viu. VcJctahles. fruit, and other products of the soil. I The result is lure, as in all other parts of the country 1 where agricultural societies have been established, that the agricultural and mechanical genius of our people has been .lev. lone. I bevond our expectations and borne energies and resources, of which we were almost wholly ijrnorani ai ine Beginning i um ..iif.m, - i i. i. i;h mul i, nt into healthv exercise. The 1 .,.,,.,..( t it... l.o.MimiiMr it' our existence, have been quantity as well as the quality of the articles exhibited is highly gratifying. Quality first, and quantity next. Both these signs of improvement are ours. Each year the quality of the Fair has been improving; and with every improvement we have had an increase. The .laughters of Mecklenburg demand a passing tribute at our hands. With commendable zeal they also have entered into this friendly competition for the ad vancement of home interest; and by the manufacture and exhibition of domestic articles that adorn and en rich the table and that clothe the man, as well as by their presence here, they have contributed to increase the interest and the success of our Society. We thank them for all their efforts, which make wives and daugh ters appreciated, home cheerful and happy, and society blest We trust that the removal of the fair grounds to a more convenient and spacious location will give all per sons a better opportunity for a larger exhibition and a more splendid competition. What has already been done and shown in the last four years is, we trust, only a beginning to what the farmers of Mecklenburg can and will do. Mecklenburg cannot do without this Society, and without her Annual Fair. First in the declaration of her rights as tbe home of freemen, let her be first in all those laudable improvements connected with peace. Let us know no competition save this friendly rivalry of . ili.eus which so admirably developes our genius and industry, and scatters plenty and happiness over a smiling and' peaceful land. Like our fathers, in "the days that tried men s souls," let us stand shoulder to shoulder in every laadable enterprise. Let our motto be, "United we stand, divided we fall." Ladies and gentlemen, members of the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society, we thank you tor what you tune done: we encourage you to do more. The success of the past but calls upon you more loudly to rise to high er and better improvements in the future. Gen. Young, one of the Vice Presidents of the Socie ty, and Chairman of the Kxecutive Committee, w ill now distribute premiums to all successful competitors. The Premiums. Gen.

THE BAND. The "Big Spring Brass Band," John T. Frazier leader, visited the grounds each day and enlivened the occasion with some very good music a very agreeable and necessary item in the programme of the Fair. The presence of a brass band on such occasions is as necessary, almost, as pretty girls and fast horses ! We wish the Band much success in their endeavor to become proficient in their favorite science. "The Nec.ro Insurrection." Why do the papers persist in calling the conspiracy at Harper's r erry "a negro insurrection: ins a noei mu slander upon the negro character. There were no negroes connected with the attair, not one, onry five inulattoes. The majority, htteon, were all white men. To call it a "negro insurrection is to play in the hands of the abolitionists. It wa3 simply a devilish Abolition conspiracy, conceived in sin and brought forth m iniquity. Dont charge it upon the negroes. I hey arc not guilty. acid York Day Book. Kxaetly bo. It'g a misnomer to call it "negro insurrection," for there was no resistance cm tbe part of tbe slaves to the laws, either State or fed eral; but there was resistance, to V.oth, on tbe part of a number of white persons and free negroes from the North; therefore it partook of the nature of both insurrection and sedition. But the object of the Day Book is a good one; and it calls things by their proper names when it says the affair at Harper's Ferry was "a devilish Abolition conspir acy." It was conceived in sin, and proved a most miserable abortion. Cook, old Brown's first aid, was captured in Pennsylvania, and has been demanded by Gov. Wise. The final end of these men, (who personified abolition fanaticism,) will, we think, have the effect to convince every fool hardy ignoramus in the free States of the ridicu lous absurdity of any and all attempts to revolution ize the institutions of the South. It demonstrates the fact that orderly and well-behaved slaves of the South prefer .their comfortable homes, and good masters who iced them well and take care of them when sick, to free starvation and its attendant miseries, which fall alike to the lot, of the poor white man and the negro in the North. The exe cution of Brown and his deluded confederates will throw a damper upon the ardent black philanthro py of the free States. . Chambersbiirc, Pa., Oct. 28. Cook was sent to Virginia yesterday for trial. The alarm at Harper's Ferry on Wednesday, was caused by the receipt of despatches from New York, stating that large numbers of abolitionists were preparing to rescue the prisoners. Trial of the Conspirators. Charlestown, Oct. 27. The trial of Brown is progressing. A jury was obtained yesterday afternoon. Washington, Oct. 25. I have ascertained this evening, that several insurrectionary documents, involving some prominent men of the State of Kentucky, have been discovered at Harper's Ferry and forwarded to Gov. Wise. It is confidently stated here that the Govenor will make a requisi tion upon the Governor of Kentucky for the sur render of these parties. Such developments are looked for, in connection with this discovery, as will startle the country. Battle with Indians in Texas. New Orleans, Oct. 24. Galveston dates to the 20th inst., have been received. The Dallas Herald publishes a rumor that Major Vandorn had attacked a large body of Indians on Concha River. He lost 40 men and killed 100 Indians. Petersburg, Va., Oct. 28. Pryor's election to Congress is conceded. His majority will probably be from twelve to fifteen hundred. m Shot for a Turkey. Mr. C.
