NvC SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 13, 1855. THE STATE FAIR. . The Third Annual Fair of the North Carolina State Agricultural Society opens in this City on 1 Tuesday next, the lath inst The most ample preparations have been made, and we nave 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 completeness every way credita ble to the Canmittee who have had the matter in charge. ' We think that we may safely assure all, who expect to be in attendance during the Fair, that they will not suffer for the lack of suitable accommodations. We re-publish the regulation, &c, of the Ex ecutive Committee: "All articles ta "be exhibited for premiums" must he entered and registered by the Monday uight immediately precediug the day for opening the 'Fair; Articles intended ft exhibition, only, will be received at any time during the 'Fair entirely at the owners nsk. Wbeu stock has been received by the "Recep tion ConuniUee," and properly registered, it will be kept at the expense of the Society, and, like all other articles, -cannot be removed without pennLttion from the "Executive Committee." Exhibitors are earnestly requested to send up .their artirlea early, that they may be properly ar ranged be for the opening of the "Fair." The annual address before the Society will be delivered by the Hon. Thomas Rums, on the -Fair frrounds." " The "North Carolina," "Wilmingb and Wei d.," and "Raleigh and Gaston" Railroads will ol .serve the following rules in transporting arti cles for exhibition at the - State Fair Exhibitors' will be permitted to pass a single specimen of each of their articles to be exhibited free of charge. Live stock will be carried at half rate ci fare. at owners' risk. Visitors to the "Fair" will be permitted to nass at half rate of " far bv buying a " Ke- turn Ticket," (which will be good for five days ,) otherwise the usual rate 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 lodze at the varices- villages along the hne of the Roads. A schedule will be pub lished, giving notice of the arrivals and depar tures of the extra trains." FROM EUROPE. Tike steamer Canada, from Liverpool, with dates to the 29th nit., arrived at Halifax on Tuesday evening. Her advices are a week later than those brought by the last steamer. Prince Gortachakoff'telegraphs, under date of September 23d : " The allies have landed 20,000 men at Eupatoria, and have now 80,000 men on the Russian flank." The allies attacked the Russian 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 St bast o- pol are to be razed and the basins of the harbor filled up. A fearful tempest visited Sebastopol on .the 17th ult., causing much discomfort to the allies. Cotton had declined fd. Sales of the week, 55,000 bales. aogwests, calU to. rniud.the saying of a poet j"Var is a artip at luch, wer pectej wisel Kings should liot play-at." - " , ;T Vben we consider toe enbrtnooscost to the allies of oue year. of the present war, and the comparatively insignificant advantages they have obtained how much they have speut and suf fered, and how little they have done toward the attainment of their olject, it seems not unrea sonable to suppose that one party at least that party which is "quick at figures" and thinks 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 Bull pride 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 his share in the war with Russia. From the financial statement" recently laid be fore Parliament, it appear that a sum exceed ing hco hundred miliums of dollars ia charged on war account. Iu addition to this, the British are 'ouipellfd to pay double price tw Russian pro ductions, which, it seems, in spite of the block ading 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, aa cof fee, sugar, &c- Bull is a tough animal, we know ; but If he do' not break down under all this load, we will warrant him at least an awful fit of the back-ache. . . How much the French have paid for their share in this losing game, we shall never know. They teel the force of the homely proverb quoted by Napoleou, which says, " wash your dirty linen inside of the house." But the English people have full means of knowing the exact amount of pleasure they are likely to experience, when they come to " foot the bill" at the end f 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 should 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; we shall then have the enormous sum of six hundred mil lions of dollars spent hi "one Tearnpofra -fruit less enterprue. But it wUl be replied, " Sebasto pol is takes." . 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 ? fiaV ot lJlbjt those of our pfo4eno!Jrii iiave patd away from the stage .of. lite, now .mm 'clearly fed to I race, it would oe no rrrevereut Amusement to can them up, 'iu fancvj fr'ithe.pVif death, "and ' show them the woudersof tLcbedays.

In Ohio there was to be chosen a Governor and other State officers, including two Judges of the Supreme Court of the State, and also mem bers of the State Legislature. The contest for Govern was a triangular one the candidates being William Medill, the present locofoco Gov erimr ; Salmon P. Chase, Freeaoil Democrat, nominated by the "Republicans and Allen Trimble, Whig. The Know-Nothings were di vuied. They had 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 ; but a portion of the "Order" refused to support Mr. Chase, on account of bis 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 Commissione r . But the election of a Legislator mpon which devolves the duty of appointing a Senator of the United States gave the contest an activity quite equal to that of former struggles. The Opposition cor sits of Whigs and Americans. 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 law1 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 mood aloof altogether; so that the true "com plexion of Pennsylvania politics was hardly de termined by the contest on Tuesday. . We give, in another column, such returns as have reached us. " ' - THE NATIONAL WHIGS OF NEW-YORK We publish in another column the address aud resolutions receutly adopted by the national Whigs of New York. They will bo read by Southern men with deep iutereat aud pleasure, as affording a happy indication of a returning sense of reason and justice oil the part of our Northern brethren. Like the conservative Whigs of Mas- achusetts, the conservative Whigs of the Empire State h artily respond to, endorse, and adopt, the inspiring sentiment of the eloquent Choate: " We join onrtdves to no party that do not carry the Jiag and keep step to the music of the Union.". Even the " Standard," coutrary 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 Ytbigs and addressed to their brethren of that State sufficiently indi catea their purpose to have nothing to do'with Abolitionism, Sewardisui. or Fusionism : - We are betraved-r-transferTed and offeret up as cattle in the shambles to mock Democrats and Abolitionists ! They who have had hold of the machinery of our party have disposed of us as mere machines, and have thought no more of a transfer of two hundred and forty or fifty thou sand human beings, than they would have thought of selling so many noes, narrows, or spinning 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 on 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 rile, the grouna white with tents. "the tables loaded with unpurchased plenty, the camp-fires which illuminated the forest, and sent tlieir curling smoke to the welkin, studded with innumerable stars, the crowd of visitors who liov ered around in animated enjoy meat of the strange and gorgeous 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 arid re-echoed from the distant hills, presented togeth er a range of objects that were strangely in con trast with the scenes of couTiuon iife. Early ou Thursday, a procession was formed, which, preceded by music, "wound its way along the base of the firbt acclivity to a level spot iu view of the battle ground, where a stand aud seats had been erected, aud where the forest trees cast a grateful shade over an imuieuae assembly of every sex and condition." Here, after prayer, Col. J. D. Witherspoon introduced tlie orator of the day, Col. Jno. S. Preston, who delivered an address,, which is described as being worthy of the sppt and the occasion. A sketch of the orator's 4 remarks is published in the Standard. At the conclusion of Mr. Preston's speech, the Hon. George Bancroft was introduced, and spoke in eloquent and truthful terms of the great event they were celebrating jennies ! The old time-honored and consecrated After these exercises, a dinner aad barbecue principles of a Clay, a Webster, a Harrison, Crittenden, a Graham, a Ghoate, a Granger, fXn Everett, a in ton, 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 iMu in mass 1" So, also, the followiug resolution, which em braces in a nutshell the views of these Northern national men upon the question of slavery : - " Aesoked, That the sacrifice of the interests of twenty-five millions of white men, and silence upon all toe pnnciptea that concern tnem, to the supposed interests of some three and a half mil lions of negroes, is an abandonment of our own race and color to aggraiKii.se into greater mipor tance the race and color of the African. The Whig party was made for the American, and not for the African I". ere.8erved up, appropriate toasts were given, and the hill was searched for relics of the battle, some of wnlcb were found, the festivities were closed by a grand ball at night. Two incidents of a melancholy character occurred during the celebration. A citizen of Yorkville came too near oue of the sentries stationed by the military companies, and not responding to the challenge was fired ou. lhe gun was charged with pow uer only, but the wad caused a very senous wound. A member of the Columbia Flying Ar tiuery was dangerously hurt by the premature discharge of a cannon he was loading The whole affair seems to have passed on hap pily, with the above exceptions. The Hksby Clay Whigs. The locofoco press throughout the country hare been whining and hedging 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 Fhiladelaphia have published a card, in which they allude to " the deceitful and ungrateful conduct of tire Democratic Party, and say that it ia not entitled to any sympathy from the Whigs." It appears that a committee jvas 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 agreeing upon one ticket to be supported at the- recent election. But "after repeated efforts and numerous meetings, they were utterly unaUe to come V any truthful understanding with the Democratic Party," "; . The Clay Whigs finally concluded that there was no truth in locofocoism, and determined to o the whoU figura for thamsrieam ticket. Ths two obeat Erarre in thr urc or Gkm Pie&ck. The Chartettesville (Va) Advocate, emu Ions of the. fame acquired by Governor Steele, of New Hampshire, in recounting the munificence of Pierce, in bestowing an entire cent upon a cry ing boy, narrates the following incident : ' "Youhs America. While President Pierce was standing near the hotel at which he had ta ken rooms, a little chap, of a few summers, find ing his hat band unbuckled, went up tothePres- identand accosted him with "fix my hat band, sir."

The Mercury says that the Fu gitive Slave Law ia an "infringement npon one of the most cherished principles of the Cbnbtitu tion."

But it is e:uy Jo foresee that from different causes aad fTOmMiffereut qTiftrters'.Siiuch'paius will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of ttus truth. It is' of infinite moment thrtt you should properly estimate the immense value of ynur national Union to your col lective and individual support ; discounte nancing whatever may suggest even a. suspicion mat it can in any event De aoanaonea, ana in dignantly frowning upon the first dawning of any attempt to alieuate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link together the various parts." The great father of our party, Henry Clay, fore sceini;, iu the geographical ambition of certain men, tliis attempt to merge the Whigs of the North in a mere abolition party, cried out from Kentucky, in 1850: "If the Whig party is to be merged into a con teuiptible Abolitiou party, and if abolitionism is to te engrafted uKn the VVhig creed, from that nioineut 1 renounce tiie party aud cease to be a Whig, lgoyetabtep further: If I am ahve, I will give my humble surqmrt to that man for tlie 1'resideucy who, to whatever party he may belong, is not contaminated by fanaticism, rather than to one who, crying out all the time that he s a Whig, maintains doctrines utterly subversive of the constitution and the Union." This attempt tosciiarate parties uT the North and South is not the lirut attempt iu our coun try : for it was attempted in Columbia, S. O, aud in Nashville, Tenn., and iu the famous Hart ford Convention, during the last war but the people of the country, ever true to the advice of Washington, have "discountenanced" and put down all such attempts. Northern and Southern churches ot the tme denominations of Christians may exist, jeoparding, however, but not dismem- Dtnug, the union, because they tooa up to a com mon God and have a common Bible ; but Nor thern and Southern political parties must begin with a bar toning their common country, and end in abolishing their Federal constitution, the new common political Bible. W hi of New i ork, the so-called rnon Con vention has thrown to the mind every Whig principle, that, under our Clay and our Webster, vvs have been struggling for these 26 years. It is silent upou all Whig measures, and upon all Whig policy. It presents itself before the countryas for the quarters of century past having been fighting for a sham, and only to cheat the people. 1 o make the sham palpable, it picks out lor us to vote for the niost obnoxious aiid ultra men of the long op posed Democratic party, and it gives us, on a ticket of nine persons, but two or three Whigs, at the most I To falsify itself to tlie utmost, even upon its anti-slavery pretensions, it asks us to vote m as law omcr ot the state him who, in the State Legislature iu 18267 and Congress in 1835 6, voted agaiust even the right of peti tion to Congress upon the subiect of slavery. And it asks us again to vote into the State De partment him who is on the record, not only a- gainst trie right of petition, but who made the compact to admit into the Union four or five more slave states from lei as. But we are uot dupes or fools to be thus used upon a pretence or principle concerning "slave ry" or "Kansas." There is ouly one feeling, one impulse- in the whole North aguipst the violators of every principle in the Kansas and Nebraska bill but the excitement ou that is not going to carry-us blindfold into an organization whose acts, tho last winter, in our Legislature, are one prolonged record of caual franchise aud corpo ration plunder aud w iite adjournment sine die enabled every womanand every man in the State tQ breathe freer.

THE HUMILIATION OF ENGLAND." : The Corscican vendetta is nearly accomplished ; for the humiliation of England approached its consummation, when Queen Victoria stood rever entially before the tomb of her country's mortal enemy iu the weird torch-light ' which nickered along the walls of the InvaKdes. - She stood there as the dependent of his nephew -a suppliant to the merey of the Napoleonic race . which knows no mercy for its foe a Queen in name beside an Emperor iu fact. Did: the spirit of Sir Hudson Lowe hover around the scene ? Did the laugh of the "Old Guards," which, according to the Ger man legend, attends the nightly review of le petit corporal on the dreary shore of St. Helena, ring scornfully through the sombre' walls? No; it was but fancy, but the vengeance of the Napo leons was a reality. The visit of Queen Victoria to Paris was little more than a conqueror's pageant, in which she acted the part of a distinguished captixe,. which could not be endured by her for a moment, if a single drop of Boadicea's blood remained in the veins of modem royalty.- She was received with a magnificence which threw her efforts at display on the occasion of Napoleon'svisit to London into the shade, and showed, as Sterne says; that "they do these things better in France ;" but the cheers with which the Emperor was greeted in London were uot bestowed upon the Queen in Paris,, and she passed onward to St. Cloud, a spectacle to be gazed at and not a guest to be honored. Some years ago this same Victoria refused to permit a distinguished English actress to appear at the private theatricals in Windsor Palace, be cause her character was not sans reproche ; and yet she was compelled to accept the companion ship, during h it ten days' sojourn m Paris, of the Emperor's cousin the notorious Mathilde, who is the Ninon d'Euclos, the most brilliant and bra zen courtesan of the present day. Mathilde is divorced from her husband on account of her in numerable infidelities, and is li ving in open adul tery with a "fast" attache of the court. In the same carriage with her the prudish Victoria rode to the Grand Opera, aud beheld . Albert some what noted for his susceptibility exposed to all her witchery and fascination ; while beside her sat her superior and her master the "madman of Boulogne," who was one of her special consta bles iu '48 ! Who says that truth is not stran ger than fiction ? Who hints, after this, that his tory is not a greater romance-maker than Wal ter Scott or Alexander Dumas? " I noticed," says a correspondent of the Lon don Press, "tliat while the Emperor conversed with tlie Vueen in the Itoyal box at the Opera, a sinister smile, half of triumph and half of sar casm, parted his hps occasionally and flickered over his inscrutable countenance." What did that smile mean ? It was a faint revelation of tlie proud thoughts which were swelling within his heart. It said, St. Helena is aveuged. The Parvenu is the master of the hereditary Sovereign. The triumph of France is almost complete. The houseless wanderer the madman of former years the prisoner of Ham the dependent of Mrs. Howai-d tlie special constable of London is the ruler of France to-day, and France is the ruler of England. Craft has done the work of the sword; but the final retribution the graud deiwuemetd of the drama has not arrived yet: not, O Des tiny 1 not yet. It advances, however. darklY and steadily "as the shadow of the gnomon,"- Gaze on, poor gilded puppet, at the pantomime on the stage, and dream not of the tragedy which awaits your country and yourself. So said that smile. Such was the meaning of the faint reve lation of the secreta of tliat hitherto inscrutable countenance. Victoria has returned to England amid the congratulations of the London press. But what has she learned during her visit ? " That France has a magnificent army on her own soil, while England has scarcely a single soldier ; that the French people are aroused and invigorated by the Eastern war, while the English are crushed and depressed ; that the birthright of genius is more potent than the birthright of blood ; that she is a mere pawn, though bearing a royal crown, on the chess-board of European politics, in the hands of the most skilful and masterly player of his time. Such is the bitter lesson she must have learned, unless the imbecility of George III. be inheritable with his crown. K. 0. Delia. " ''..
