Trivett, we have fmTTnformation that Ashe county ratified the Amendments by a vote of G."i0 to 20 against ratification. But Ashe county also elected 13 Itepub licsm Magistrates and seven Iiepub-Ii-au Constables while the Demo crats eh-cted but 10 Magistrates and 1 Constables of their striie. Yet the democratic press in that section copying after their city teachers, proclaim that the Amendment vote was a democatlc victory.. Itepubli t-an voles evidently sent them through in Ashe county.- vhkomos. lhere has been re- oeivil at this office two Chromos, "The Strawberry Girl" and "Mis chief Brewing."

KlI.KtTIt Magazine Exgkav ixc;s. The Eclectic Magazine, a New York Monthly, issues a series of Engravings of a very superior order of merit. Many of them are the work of foreign artists of note and an examination of the proofs hows toau extreme nicety the del iracy of the manipu!ation. There are very few line engravers in this country, and scarcely one, save Marshall, who could transfer to pajKT tit" light, shade, and texture fleets s i n in the imported engrav ings of the Eclectic Magazine.

This success has lieen achieved merely by making a good article and always keeping tobacco tr tho name up to the primary -u'.mlard of excellence. Woman's Medical. College. The Twenty-fourth Annual Session of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, opens in Philadel phia, Oct. 2nd. This institution is one that cannot be too warmly lauded. It has already given to the world a hundred ladies well versed in their professions and sent them out to do good to their sex. The training they have received has U-enorieof rare thoroughness and the success of the College has re warded the faculty for the persever ance. There are many salient fea tures in this exclusively .Woman's Medical Col'ege which might be dwelt upon at length. Suffice it to say that the institution stands at the head of those in which an op Mrt unity is given woman to widen lu r field of labor. The Infanticide. An Investi gation into the facts attending the finding of the body of the colored infant on the. premises of Robert Wyche, colored boarding house keer, deveIoied without much doubt that the mother wasa stylish colored woman from Wilmington, who came here a short time ago and that she killed the child soon after it was born. The following verdict was rendered by the Coro ners Jury: "That the said unknown female infant was the child of Betsy Mer ritt, and that the said female in fant, of the said Betsy Merritt, col., came to its death on or about the luth day of August, 1S73, from ftramrulation and crushing of the head, and that the said Betsy Mer ritt is guilty of infanticide, and that Catherine Merritt is an accom plice, being present, aiding and abetting." But considerately enough the Coroner although the Jury found the women guilty, deferred hang ing them until they have had a trial before a Court of competent jurisdiction. The two women were arrested and confined in Jail. Kextccky University The Home of Hexuy Clay. We take plea-ure in calling attention to this jrivat institution, located at Ash land, the home of Henry Clay, near U-xington, Kentucky. With its splendid location in such a beauti ful and healthy place, and among such genial and hospitable people ; with its large endowment and real estate, amounting to nearly a mil lion dollars; with Its six -distinct and regularly organized colleges, in which young men can pursue a course of study adapted to almost any business of life; with its thirty able professors and Instructors, and six hundred students from all parts of the continent; and especially with its cheap board and tuition, and the compensated labor depart ment of Its Agricultural and Me chanical College In which young men may defray a portion of their expenses by labor on the farm or in the shops, this institution offers Iculiar advantages, and we cheer fully recommend that all who are klngthe best and cheapest ad vantages of education should send for a catalogue to J. H. Bowman, 1fent1 Lexington, Ky. ise The State Fair Progress on the Grounds A talk with Secretary Fclghcm What WILL HE SEEN AND WHERE IT WILL come from A French Inspec tor ok North Carolina Wines. Could a farmer of the olden time. one of the bluff and hearty stripe of agriculturists, who were muscular of body, blunt of Intellect, and ob stinately wedded to the homesteads and manners of their fathers, could such an one be translated from the grim repose of his quiet grave beneath the sturdy trees that were centurions of their kind when he was still but a youth, and be dropped into the middle of one of the bustling Agricultural Fairs of to-day, he might well deplore the degeneracy of the age as he saw degeneracy, and shrink away from a realization of the gloomy fore bodings of his race in his time. His calling was sacred to him as he found it, and as he revered all that nse had made holy so he reviled newness and saw its approach with abhorrence of itself and sad fears for the future. The moss on his leaky roof he loved better than new shingles, and though his plough came from the smithy of Tubal Cain it was good enough for him ; and moreover it had been guided along the farrows by his father's hands, and what was good enough for tbei sire was good enough for the son. . Steam was his evil gen las, and superphosphate would have given more offense to his mind than to his nose. His ways were those of his forefathers, and well indeed might he fly from pro gressionists who have torn down the altars on which he sacrificed and would if they dared, grind up his very bones to fertilize his farm withal. Progression has in good sooth placed its mark on the farmer and between the mechanician and the chemist he has been dragged from his retirement and placed with his pursuit in the foremost rank of the professions. Political Econo mists and Scientificians saw that Mother Earth must be relied upon primarily for all that man needed, and they set to work to make the most of the soil and the tillers of the soil. With the lessons thus re ceived, and a native industry and clear-seeing perseverance, our Ag riculturists neglected nothing that was necessary to secure to them their proper standing in the world, and their annual exhibitions of products year by year became of general interest and of Stale and National importance. As they do into all important matters, so ob jectionable features have crept into Agricultural Fairs, but many of them have been unceremoniously bundled out of the good society into which they had intruded, and those that remain aware of their charac ter and the unwholesome estima tion In which they are held do not thrust themselves forward for con templation. But with or without these drawbacks, the Annual Fair s me surest indication of a State's wealth, and the labor and money expended in fostering it is so much capital and force well invested. The farmer has already recognized in the Annual Exposition a means of asserting himself in the world, and, better than this, a fair means of comparing the results of his efforts with those of his brethren and so making for himself a guide for the regulation of his future conduct. It also brings Into more intimate relations the producer and the con sumer, and meeting on the common ground of the State Fair they are inclined to know more of each others ways, an exchange of knowl edge that, judiciously applied, can not be otherwise than beneficial to both. Giving North Carolina credit for all that she has had to contend against, her farmers are in no wise behind the age, and in hazarding the prophecy that her Agricultural Fair of this year will bring together an intelligent class of farmers, an array of agricultural implements, and a display of natural products that any Southern State might be proud to take credit to itself for, is hazarding nothing. The ground of the Agricultural Society was selected with an evi dence of taste not often evinced in such matters, and though the devo tees of the race course may fancy they see in it. an unnecessary out lay, the mass of people who will have to do with it will readily co incide with the views of the Society in choosing so charming a site. The ground is just of the character that a professional gardiner would have chosen for a park, offering for im provement every feature which an ornamental landscape needs, save trees alone, a deficiency easily to be remedied. It has been chosen in short with a view of making It a permanent pleasure ground for the citizens of Raleigh, and a right pretty little park it will prove in time. The buildings are not of the ordi nary tumble-up concerns, so many sheds built to last a few days and then to be sold for lumber, but good, solid, well-built edifices that will last for many a year and do good duty. Especially this may be said of the grand stand, a solid building, with every timber sound, and calculated to bear thrice as great a weight as it will ever be called upon to sustain. In this structure has been minded the pro verb, "handsome is as handsome does," and though it will be elegant of facade and redolent with paint it is a building with a purpose. The first floor is devoted to meat and drink; the second, to seeing the sights of the course, and the third to oflieers rooms and ante-rooms. The idea of a monster concert caused an addition to the plan, a grand bay window sort of a house, built up the front for two stories and design ed to accommodate on the second story the musicians and the tools of their trade. Thus they will face the audience, see and be seen and sing and be heard. Von Meyerhoff took a look at the plan the other day and was pleased with it and that settled the whole business. Of the other buildings "Floral Hall," "Mechanic Hall," tc.,all that need be or can be said is that they are on their way skyward, and give prom of being good and useful; fair to j the eye and agreeable to contem plate. To look at everything in its un finished state a first-class croaker would Inveigh against delay and predict an opening day with noth ing ready. Not so say the authori ties though ; from the draughtsman and Superintendent to Secretary Fulghum all are confident, and a good augury is that they who have the work in charge are young men with dash and energy, who laugh at wet skies and make double time on dry days. In fact Mr. Fulghum is confident that if the Fair was wanted in the middle of September it could be had as far as having the grounds In readiness is concerned So much for that part of the concern People who have a matter near their hearts are apt to boast, and those who have the Fair at heart are making big promises, but they have been half fulfilled already. The book of entries opens on Sep tember 1st, says the Agricultural Journal, and it is a matter which should be taken note of by intend ing exhibitors. In conversation with Mr. Ful ghum a few daysog;i, it was learned by a reporter of the Era that the stock exhibition will be a full one and that with the Edgecombe, horned horses from cattle from the Western Sampson, sheep from part of the State, and from Penn- sylvania, and hogs -from Cabarrus. Wake, Chatham, Wayne, Sampson and Guilford, this department will be a marked feature. Of course farmers learned in the "points" of cattle will find in the stock exhibi tion fund for meditation for another year, but there is a "nigger in the woodpile" and a moral for countless sermons too, for they are going to make an equitable division of some of the stock by chance, and that isn't in keeping with the tenets of the Church. But the managers will sin and be sorry for it after wards. The trials of speed too havn't gone down well with the Church folk, and some may look on the gouless Jehus ana think their physical flights over the course typical of their downward moral flight, and set down the money they win as from the same, mint as the thirty pieces of silver ; but the peccadilloes will be pardoned and Agriculture and Theology will walk hand in hand along the flow ery paths of righteousness until the next State Fair drags the sinner off to drive a trotter and leaves the saint to mourn his loss. The exhibition of fruit Mr. Ful ghum fears will not be as good as it should, and this is to be regretted especially in view of the fact that Prof. Planchon, a distinguished French botanist has been despatched to this country by-the French Min ister of Agriculture to study tho cultivation of vines and grapes in the South, and will be present dur mg the State Fair. The principal exhibitions of fruit will be furnished by growers in Warren, Duplin, Guilford, Surry, Watauga and Hal ifax. A wheel within a wljecl, or a feature within a feature of this de partment will be the cultivation on the grounds of a minature vineyard of a quarter of an acre in extent by M. Labiau. This Is one redeeming point and will serve to let M. Planchon see that we are not alto gether ignorant of grape growing, while the wines from Halifax, Beaufort, Wake, Warren, Colum bus and New Hanover will, it is to be hoped, relieve us in some degree from the unfair reputation Ameri cans enjoy abroad of having an un conquerable love for stronger drink Although M. Planchon will not see as good an exhibition in this department as he ought to, care will be taken.it is to be trusted, that he is not allowed to depart until he has been fully enlightened as to the capacity of the State for fruit and grape growing especially. For garden products, I'uncombe, Madison and McDowell will take the palm and a good show in this line is expected. Granville, Person, Forsythe and Guilford will send in enough to make a very fine show of tobacco. The centre and eastern portion of the State will make a praiseworthy exhibition of cotton. The array of Agricultural imple ments will be principally from Bal timore, Itichmond, Petersburg and Zanesville, Ohio, and will include a combined mower and reaper in op eration during the Fair. The labor of the management in trying to please every one is a hard one for some people are naturally of a crusty temperament, and oth ers amend nature and cultivate crustiness and wont be pleased with any body or. any thing, so there were grumblers that some premiums were too large and others too small. To cover this and leave no ground for complaint a supplemental list of premiums was issued which has placed the matter of prizes on a ba sis satisfactory to the most fkstid ious. The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad people have also lent their aid to the8uccess of the Fair In making arrangements to establish a depot at Williamson's old Foundry within a few minutes walk of the entrance gates. This convenience will be appreciated by the public. Indepen dently of this a branch track will be run from the road into the grounds for the purpose of facilita ting the unloading of stock and machinery. In fact all the railroad companies of the State have done their utmost to contribute to the suc cess of the fair. There are many other matters of interest in connection with the fair already made known to the public and these with the speeches of Voor- hees of Indiana and Dickson of Georgia and the concert for the in tellectually and morally inclined and the mile heats and dashes, and Weston's walk, for the devotees of the World the Flesh and the Devil there is no room for wishing that more were done.. A look at the grounds and half an hour with the Secretary will convince any one that the Fair in to be a good, generous, wholesomeexhibition.free from any pettyjealousies or annoyances, and if this cannot-convince them the opening day -will. Success to it. Haight & Co., Great Eastern. me ,ra Is advised that some time during the month of October, Haight and Co's., Great Eastern Managerie and Hippodrome wil visit Italeigh. It will come with full brass, reed and string bands and all the paraphernalia of a first class concern. The visit of Haight and Co., should be during the Fair week, both for their own sake and the bet ter opportuniey it gives the out-of- town public for visiting it. Per haps one of the large canvass tents of the circus could be obtained for the monster concert. It could thus be given at night rainy weather or fine, and it would be more enjoya ble than to be seen or heard from the grandstand. Journalistic It is especially pleasing to note the growing incli nation of journalists in this State to observe the amenities which lighten labor and serve to imbue the mem bers of the press with a kindly feel ing lor their ' fellows. Thus the Wilmington Evening Fast speaking of Italeigh, says, "Among the many publications there is a hand somely printed nine column weekly called the Era," and as a personal tribute adds "the editor of that paper has great perceptive genius, tc." These are compliments which cannot but be acknowledged grate fully. Acknowledgment. The Era acknowledges the courtesy of the Managers of the Cincinnati Indus trial Exposition in sending invita tions. One feature of the Exposi tion, the making of a complete file of all the newspapers of the United States is especially commendable, and should interest all newspaper men in the success of their enter prise.

To the Editor of the Era : In the daily Neics of the 14th I saw a statement that a colored mil itary company in Bertie county has applied to the Governor for arms, and that the Company is intended to put down a band of desperadoes in said county, tc. Now, sir, I wish you to state in your truthful paper that it is an false ; the colored people are not getting up a company at all, and it is an imputation on the colored citizens of the county.

This fund may be supplemented by as sistance from the Peabody fund and other sources, and by individual subscriptions and contributions, so that it will be sufficient to main tain two graded schools ten months one for white, and the other for colored children. To the end that those schools may be established, it is the request, of many citizens of Raleigh including the Mayor of the City and the Chairman of the school Committee, that all persons who are interested in establishing a school in the City for white children will meet in Metropolitan Hall Monday evening, Sept. 1st at 8 o'clock ; and that all who are interested in establishing a school for colored children win meet at the same place on Wedne?- Sept. 3rd at 8, P.

To the Editor of the Era : The Sentinel of the 19th inst., con tains an account of a meeting which wa3 held in this place on Saturday, the 16th. It is said to have been a meeting of "the Citizens of Chapel Hill and vicinity." Resolutions bitterly denouncing Mr. Pool were adopted. It is proper that there should be a clear representa tion of the number and of the per sons who composed the meeting. As we are credibly informed there were in all ten persons present, viz : Andrew Mickle, at present and for sometime past, a clerk in the store of W. C. Stronach, Esq., Raleigh ; Col. W. L. Saunders, editor of the IKlmington Journal; Benton Utley, J. M. Alexander, Jno. Ward and Jno. Hutchins Sen., of the village ; Wm. Stray, Mathew McCauley Sr., H. E. Clayton, and H. C. Andrews of the country. Mr. Mickle was Chairman ; and Mr. Andrews, Sec retary. The relations which exist ed between Mr. Pool and the Chair man as well as several others of these gentlemen, have long; been known here to be of anything else than a personal friendly character. It is known that Mr. Pool's mother- in-law, a quiet, unassuming and el derly widow lady had been grossly libelled and slandered in the col umns of the Raleigh Sentinel In June 1869 without? provocation; and he believed . ii W nairraan OI the meeting, Mr. MlckI. to have i had some connection with (he pub lication, and that it was probably sent bv him to the press. The ar ticle referred to was, headed "An Anneal." Although enorts were made for more than a week to se cure the attendance of the citizens ; and although Saturday the ICth, was a public day here, the occasion of an educational meeting7 which had been widely, published by printed posters, yet only this small 5 num ber were, present. .The meeting seems to have been held more from a feeling of malignity towards Mr. Pool than of consideration for the lady whose friends they , claim to be. While the citizens here gener ally regret the controversy, yet they deemed it a private matter between the parties concerned, and one in which they were not called upon to meddle. The citizens of Chapel Hill are referred to. , ' Enough. inapei xxiu, Aug. zz, iooj. i tTu a. c r"-r State News. Polk.

The murder of the child, Willie Carter, at Wil mington, still engrosses public at tention. The evidence seems to leave no room for doubt that the wo man who stood in the quasi position of stepmother to the unfortunate lad, bribed the little colored boys to the ferocious deed. The evi dence last taken before Justice Cas sidy is somewhat embarrassing in that it leaves a suspicion that the witness who first gave a detailed account of the transaction, lied as to the number of boys wook took part in the murder. All the witnesses agree as to the belief that they were to receive a reward of ten dollars for committing the deed. The pro cess of wino wing the testimonypro gressed very favorably and the pub lic heare now from the Justice who is and who is not to be held in the weather as principals. Public feel ing runs very high in Wilmington, and the trial will excite more than ordinary interest,. The following is the final statement of Justice Cassidey : From the admission of David Martin and Jimmie Ander son themselves, and from the evi dence adduced, the Court is inclined to believe that Elizabeth Carter, William H. Merrick and Elijah Martin are implicated in this mur der, and the Court doth therefore bind over the defendants, Elizabeth Carter, Elijah Martin, David Mar tin, Jimmie Anderson and William II. Me-rick, to the next terra of the Superior Court." Elizabeth Carter is the quasi stepmother, and the other persons named, the negro lads who were present, and are held to have perpetrated the murder.
