THE STATE PAIR.
The Third Aoutlal Fair of the North Carolina ;
State Agricultural Society opens in this City on
Tuesday next, the 16th' inst The most ample
preparations have been made, and we have every
reason to anticipate that they will ensure a suc
cessful exhibition. The Fair Grounds have been
very much improved, and present an appearance
of neatness and completenesa tvery way credita- !
lie to the Committee who have had the matter
iu charge.
We think that we may safely assure aR, who
expect to be in attendance during the Fair,
that they will not Buffer for the lack of suitable
accommodations.
We re-publish the regulations, fec, of the Ex
ecutive Committee :
"All articles to "be exhibited for premiums"
must be entered and registered by the Mouday
night imraediately preceding the day for opening
the 'Fair;' Articles intended fur exhibition, only,
will be received at any time during the. 'Fair,
entirely at the owner's risk. " Jj.'S
When stock has been received by the "Recep
tion Committee," and properly registered, it will
W kept at the expense of the Society, and, like
air other articles, cannot be removed without
permission from the "Executive Committee."
Exhibitors are earnestly requested to send np
their articles early, that they may be properly ar
ranged liefore the opening of the "Fair."
The annual address before the Society will be
delivered by the Hon. Thomas Rdffin, on the
' Fair Grounds."
The "North Carolina," "Wilmington and Wel
don," and " Raleigh and Gaston " Railroads will
observe the following rules in transporting arti
cles for exhibition at the " State Fair :"
Exhibitors will be permitted to pass a single
sjecimen of each of their articles to be exhibited
free of charge".
Live stock will be carried at half rate of fait,
at owners' risk..
Visitors to the " Fair " will be permitted to
pass at half rate of "fare" by buying a "Re
turn Ticket," (which will be good for five days ;)
otherwise the usual Tate will be charged.
Extra trains of passenger cars will be run on
the North Carolina and Raleigh and Gaston Rail
roads, by which visitors can attend the Fair in
the day, and lodge at the various villages along
the line of the Roads. A schedule will be pub
lished, giving notice of the arrivals and depar
tures of the extra trams.

FROM EUROPE;
The steamer Canada from Liverpool, with
dates to the 29th ult., arrived at Halifax on
Tuesday evening. Her advices are a week later
than those brought by the last steamer.
Prince GortschakofT telegraphs, under date of
September 23d : " The allies have landed 20,000
men at Eupatoria, and have now 30,000 men on
the Russian flank."
The allies attacked the Bunsian infantry on the
22d of September, when the latter retreated.
The Russians are fortifying the north side of
Sebastopol, and are constructing new batteries.
The fortifications of the south side of Sebasto
pol are to be razed and the basins of the harbor
tilled up.
A fearful tempest visited Sebastopol on the
17th ult., causing much discomfort to the allies.
Cotton had declined Jd. Sales of the week,
65.000 bales.
STATE ELECTIONS.
Elections were held in the States of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Indiana, on Tuesday last.
In Ohio there was to be chosen a Governor
and otlier State officers, including two Judges of
the Supreme Court of the State, and also mem
bers of the State Legislature. The contest for
Governor was a triangular one 'the candidates
being William Medill, the present locofocO Gov
ernor ; Salmon P. Chase, Freesoil Democrat,
nominated by the "Republicans;" and Allen
Trimble, Whig. The Know-Nothings were di
vided. They bad a controlling majority in the
Convention which nominated Mr. Chase, and
placed on the same ticket with him eight of their
members as candidates for other State offices;
buf a portion of the "Order" refused to support
Mr. Chase; on account of his anti-slavery antece
dents, and joined in the nomination of Mr. Trim
ble for Governor, whilst adhering to the. other
Republican nominations. Opposition to the Ne
braska act, of course, formed an important element
in the contest in this State, as it. does in all of
the Northern and Western States.
In Indiana the election was confined to the
choice of county officers ; but, so far is the slave
question from being settled by Congress, the or
thodoxy of a County Commissioner or an Audi
tor even upon that question was to be tested at
the polls.
In Pennsylvania there was but one State offi
cer chosen a Canal Commissioner. But the
election of a Legislature upon which devolves
the duty of appointing a Senator of trflS-Uuited
States gave the contest an activity quite equal
to that of former struggles. The Opposition coi
sists of Whigs and Americana. For the office of
Canal Commissioner Arnold Plumer is the locofo
co candidate, and Thomas Nicholson the candi
date of the Opposition. Besides other questions,
the liquor law was an element in the canvass,
and this probably diverted some of the voters from,
an expression of their true sentiments upon the
general issue. Many of the "old-line" Whigs
stood aloof altogether; so that the true com
plexion of Pennsylvania politics was hardly de
termined by the contest ou Tuesday.

have reached us. ' v

A PROBLEM IN POLITICAL ARITHMETIC
A review of the transactions in Europe during
the hut "twelvemonth, as the "Boston Courier'
suggests, calls to niind the saying of a "poet
"War is a game at which, were people wise,
Kings should not play at."
When we consider the enormous cost to the
allies of one year of the present war, and the
comparatively insignificant advantages they have
obtained how much they have spent and suf-
lered, and how little they have done toward the
attainment of their object, it seems not unrea
sonable to suppose that one party at least that
party 'which is "quick at figures" and tlfluks
much of the " breeches pocket" will soon be
come sensible that it is driving a rousing trade
the wrong way, and must " pull up," ere long,
with the exclamation, " I have gained a loss !"
John Bidl prides himself on having a sharp
eye to the ' practical ;" and we mistake if he
does not go to his figures pretty soon, and strike
the balance between the loss and gain that have
fallen to bis share in . the war with Russia,
From the financial statements recently laid be
fore Parliament, it appears that a suin exceed
ing two hundred millions bf dollars is charged on
war account. In addition to this, the British are
compelled to pay double price for Russian pro
ductions, which, it seems, in spite of the block
adings squadrons in the Baltic, are exported as
freely as ever by land-carriage across the Prus
sian frontier, and in Prussian vessels, to England.
We may add, that the war has doubled the
British duties on imports' in the case of several"
of the most important necessaries of life, as cof
fee, sugar, &c. Bull, is a tough animal, we
know ; but if he do not break down under all
th load, we -will warrant him at least an awfid
fit of the back-ache. j
How much the French have paid for their j
share in this losing game, we shall never know.
They teel the force of the homely proverb quoted j
by Napoleon, which says, " wash your dirty
linen inside of the house." But the English
people have full means of knowing the exact j
amount of pleasure they are likely to experience,
when they- come to " foot the bill" at the end
of the Russian war. We say nothing of the
dreadful sufferings endured by the British troops
in the Crimea during, the last winter, nor the
immense sacrifice of human life that has attend
ed the war. These shfjnld go for much indeed
in viewing the question under a moral aspect ;
but, for the present, we restrict ourselves to mere
-financial" considerations.
The French troops engaged in the war have
exceeded the English three or four fold, perhaps
more. But let us set down the French expendi
ture as only double that of the English ; wo shall
then have the enormous sum of six hundred mil
lions of dollars spent in one year upon a fruit
less enterpriae. But it will be replied, " Sebasto
pol is taken." Half the place, we admit ; and
thereupon we offer the following problem in the
political rule of three :.
If it cost six hundred millions of dollars and
a whole year of war to capture half a Russian
town, how much will it cost, and how long will
it take, to " crumple up" the Russian Empire ?
THE NATIONAL WHIGS OF NEW-YORK.
We publish in another column the address and
resolutions recently adopted by the national
Whigs of New York. They will be read by
Southern men with deep interest and pleasure, as
affording a happy indication of a returning sense
of reason and justice on the part of our Northern
brethren. Like the conservative Whigs of Mas
sachusetts, the conservative Whigs of the Empire
State h artily respond to, endorse, and adopt, the
inspiring sentiment of the eloquent Choate : " We
join ourselves to no party that do not carry the
fag and keep step to the music of the Union.".
Even the " Standard, contrary to our expecta
tions, is forced to compliment the patriotism and
the manly firmness of Northern Whigs.
The following paragraph from the address
adopted by the New York Whigs and addressed
to their brethren of that State sufficiently indi
cates their purpose to have nothing to do with
Abolitionism, Sewardism, or Fusionism :
We are betraveL transferred and offered
up as cattle in tfW shambles to 'mock Democrats
and Abolitionists I They who have had hold of
the machinery of our party have disposed of ug
as mere machines, and have thought no more ot
a transfer of two hundred and forty or fifty thou
sand human beings, thai they would have thought
of selling so roajiy hoes, harrows, or spinning
jennies 1 The old time-honored and consecrated
principles of a Clay, a Webster, a Harrison, a
Crittenden, a Graham, a Choate, a Granger, an
Everett, Vinton, a Bates, an Evans, a Hunt, are
all declared dead ! and we are invited to a fune
ral procession to bury ourselves, yet living, in the
grave yard of Sectionalism, Abolitionism, and of
the isms m mass I
So, also, the following resolution, which em
braces in a nutshell the views of these Northern
national men upon the question of slavery :
Resolved, That the sacrifice of the interests
of twenty-five millions of white men, and silence
upon all the principles that concern them, to the
supposed interests of some three aud a half mil
lions of negroes, is an abandonment of our own
race and color to aggrandise into greater impor
tance the race and color of the African. The
Whig party was maae ior ine American-, ana not
fry tVn African?"
v vv .
The Disunion Abolition papers of the
North have something of an ally in the Charles
ton Mercury, the Organ of the Disunion men in
South CaroUua. The Mercury says that the Fu
gitive Slave Law is an "infringement upon one of
the most cherished principles of . the Constitu
tion, lhars just what he Abolition papers
say. This is playing intethe hands of our ad
versaries. . Is there to be & fusion betweojhe
Northern and houthern Oisumomsts ?
Detention. The Eastern train on the North-
Carolina Railroad, due daily at 5 A. M., did not
reach here, on Wednesday, until late in the af
ternoon. The detention .was occasioned, we learn,
by the cars running off the track about ten miles
I from this Oty. 'Fortunately, no person was in

man, who used to deliver his budget of wonders,
with commendable punctuality, once a fortnight,
now superseded by thelightning pen ! The itine
rant artist, who slowly journeyed through the
country, limning the' short waists, and narrow
skirts of our grand dames, now thrown into the
shade by the Daguerreotypist, who, with a stroke
of a sunbeam, catches us as we are ! In fact, the
improvements of the present day are such as can
not be property understood by us, and are only
appreciable by comparison with the condition of
former times. We are born, and grow up amidst
them, and regard them no more than the growth
and expansion of an old familiar tree.
But Franklin might view with a different eye
the fruit of his first essays with his kite and key,
when he saw it applied to the transmis
sion of human thought, in the twinkling of an
eye, to the remotesjjpoiuts of his country. New
commer and Worcester might wonder at the de
velopment of their crude experiments, when they
saw the ocean crossed by the magnificent steamers
of this age, and the land chequered with railways,
over which freight aud men are transported at a
miraculous rate of speed. Newton, speculating
upon the principles of iighf, and resolving each
ray into its components, might wonder at the
skill of the artist, who, with his simple apparatus,
permanently fixes nature as she passes, and holds
her up to the gaze of the world. Cmld Wash
ington arise and stand in the magnificent capital
planned by him, what a scene would he behold !
No longer a wilderness, but a city such as he de
signed, connected, we hope forever, with the most
extreme point of this vast countrv. bv the tri
umphs of modern genius ! Railways, Steamers
ana Telegraphs now make Washington city vir
tually Ue centre of the country. Without those
improvements, it would now be a mere fron
tier town, aud our laws would be promulgated
from beyond the Alleghauies.
But every day adds to the wealth of modern
science, and, perhaps, fifty years hence, our pres
ent boasted improvements will be obsolete ; aud
we might feel the same wonder with our ances
tors, when called from our graves.
THE KING'S MOUNTAIN CELEBRATION.
The Charleston Standard contains a very long
and interesting description of the patriotic civic
and military celebration of the Battle of King's
Mountain ou Thursday last. The "Wilmington
Herald" condenses it as follows :
"On the day previous, crowds of people, men,
women and children, thronged to the spot, and
the notes of preparation for the next day's exer
cises were rite, lhe ground white with tents.
"the tables loaded with unpurchased plenty, the
camp-fires which illuminated the forest, and sent
their curlfug smoke to the welkin, studded with
innumerable stars, the croWd of visitors who hov
ered around in auimatedenjoynieutof the strange
and gorjjeous exhibition, the bauds of martial mu
sic, which at different places responded to each
other, and the shouts which occasionally broke
from various points, and which were echoed and
re-echoed from the distant hills, presented, togeth
er a range of objects that were strangely iu con
trast with the scenes of common iife.
Early on Thursdav, a procession was formed,
which, preceded by music, "wound its way along
the base ot the nrst acclivity to a level spot in
view of the battle ground, where a stand and
seats had been erected, and where the forest trees
cast a grateful shade over an immense assembly
of every sex and condition." Here, after prayer,
Col. J. D. VV itherspoon introduced the orator of
the day, Col. Jno, S. rreston, who delivered an
address, which is described as being worthy of the
spot and the occasion. A sketch of the orator's
remarks is published in the Standard. At the
conclusion of Mr. rrestou s speech, the Hon
George Uaucrott was introduced, and spoke in
eloquent and truthful terms of the gTeat event
they were celebrating.
After these exercises, a dinner and barbecue
were served up, appropriate toasts were given,
and the hill was searched for relics of the battle,
some of which were found. The festivities were
closed by a grand ball at night. Two incidents
of a melancholy charaeter occurred during the
celebration. A citizen of Yorkville came too
near one of the sentries stationed bv the militarv
companies, and not responding to the challenge
was tired on. 1 be gun was charged with pow
der only, but the wail caused a very serious
wound. A member of the Columbia r lying Ar
tillery was dangerously hurt by the premature
discharge ol a cannon he was loading.
The whole affair seems to have passed oft hap
pily, with the above exceptions."

The? Henry Clay Whigs. The locofoco press
throughout the country have been whining and
begging the " Henry Clay Whigs" to unite with
their party the party that pursued Henry Clay
to the grave with the most relentless spite. The
' Clay Whigs" of Philadelaphia have published
a card,, in which they allude to "the deceitful
and uijgratcful conduct of the Democratic Party,
and say that it is not entitled to any sympathy
from the Whigs." It appears that a committee
was appointed by the Clay Whigs in that city,
some time since, to-confer with a similar commit
tee of the Democratic Party, for the purpose of
agreeirh; upon one ticket to be supported at the'
recent election. But " after repeated efforts
and numerous meetings, they were utterly unable
to conie to any truthful understanding with the
Democratic Part ."
Tlie Clay Whigs finally concluded that there
was ifQ truth in locofocoism, and determined
to go h)ie whole figure for the American ticket.

t TO THE WHIGS OF NEW YBK.
We' are betrayed, transferred, and offered up
as cattle in the shambles to mock Democrats and
Abolitionists. They who have had hold of the
machinery of onr party have disposed of us as mere

Republican party," to be liounded on the South
by thb State of Delaware, on the North by the

Ann, inasmuch as Maiue has declared herself as
not belonging to this new geographical party 1 The
reason given for inviting us to this suicide of our
party,' and for joining this mere Northern party,
(with none ot the xsorth yet in it,) is that the
South has repealed the Missouri fine of slavery
demarcation, when a Northern President, sixteen
Northern Senators in Congress and forty-Kepre
sentatives from the North helped to do it, and
when the line of demarcation itself is in the State
resolutions of the New York light "Republicans

harbors, and the resistance of encroaching Fed

people, the recent abandonment of all these prin

that party, is treachery to all ouj principles and
precedents for a quarter of a century, and that
such treachery ought to be resisted in every pos-
sioie and nonorabie way.
Jiesotctd, therefore, That the W higs of the
State of New York be iuvited to assemble in
State Convention, in Constitution Hall, New
York, on Tuesday, October 23, to take such meas
ures as may be deemed advisable to maintain Our
integrity and our honor.
T. he address and resolutions were adopted bv
acclamation, and without a dissentient voice.
HON. BEDFORD BROWN.
We rejoice to learn that this distinguished gen-
ueman nas purcnaseo his tormer residence m
this county, and will soon become a resident of

our county again. We congratulate the people of
Caswell upon his return among them. His voy
age in lite, since his removal from among us,
has, indeed, been one chequered with change.

TRUE AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.
We will nd by the American flag, we will
maintain j,e Union and its guarantees, and we
will by tt back those who would invade these sa
crf objects, careless even whether we strike those
.'no have desecrated the holy pledges of patriot
ism conferred by the American Order, by com
mittim? themselves to a war against that very
public harmony which it is the nrst principle 01
the American Order to preserve. We denounce
and repudiate, with the same detestation, the ne
gro numbers, the aisuniomsts, ana cne miamous
adventurers, who, for the chance of an office or a
salary, will involve the eouutry in an intermina
ble war of sections. American Organ.

Norfolk, Wednesday noon. The fever con
tinues to abate, but few new cases have made
their appearance, and only an occasional death.
There have been about sixteen deaths during the
past several days, most of them being those of
returned refugees.
'Beg" We learn from the American Eagle, that
a church in Benton county turned out members,
j because they believed in the principles of the A-
merican party, although they had never tjomeu
the order. We suppose, that spemng-ouuKs ami
Testaments are scarce among the members ol that
church. We would advise Perry to go up there
and establish a few schools though we presume
they would "turn the school-master out" also.

Affectinb Scene. Col. John Darrineton. an
officer of distinction in the war of 1812, died at
his residence in Clarke county, Alabama, on the
12th inst. At his burial his slaves collected in
large numbers near the grave, and one of them
an old man, requested permission "to pray over
his old master- His fellow-slaves and fellowi
mourners joined in a hymn. which he gave out
irom.memory, when he offered to the Throne of
Mercy a prayer, which, for deep pathos and prc-
found humility and adoration, -could not be ex
celled. The tears of a larsre concourse of white
persons present showed how deeply they were
moved by the fervor andVearnestness af this good

Archbishop Hughes Wanted in New Hamp
shire. Archbishop Hughes lately declared to
the unsophisticated people of Newfoundland that
there was "no ground of rproach against Presi
dent Pierce." Per contra, the Independent De
mocrat, of Concord, N. H., says that "no man
can go about among the old democrats of this
State, and hear their indignant denunciations of
fierce and his corrupt minions, without seems
and feeling that the party which follows him is
dead, and deserves to be dead." The Archbishop
is wanted at Concord. Let him go up and com
fort the faithful. N. Y. Herald.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.'
The returns indicate a Democratic gain and an
American loss in the city of Philadelphia. For
this we were perfectly prepared, If the Ameri
cans of Pennsylvania choose to repudiate the
principles of the national harmony, and commit
their iortunes to the miserable raft of Abolition,
patched up by such tricky workmen as Wilson,
Johnson. & Co., they cannot expect the sincere
mends of the Union and reform to continue, in
their company. Thousands, have either passed
into the Democratic organization or. are standing
in indignant neutrality, amidst a fraudulent war
of factions, no one' of which can claim much pre
cedence in rascality over its competitors. '
