Ed. Dem.: Thinking that a report uf the proceedings of the Marshall County Agricultural keiety would not be ut interesting to vour readers, I mike the following report: The Fair of the Society was held at the Fair Grounds near Plymouth, commencing on Thursday, Oct. 17th, 18GI. The day was not particnlariy fine, but a good m.iny entries in the various departments were made, and considerable interest manifested in the success cf the Fair. The rooming of the second day was stormy, but as the day advanced the prospect brightened. The number of spectators was not large, but upon the whole the Fair passed off thus far much better than was expected. The entries in the various classes weie as fallows: Class No. 1. Farms, Gardens, itc. 5 entries of farms, 3 entries of orchards, 1 entry each of improved swampland, and bee house and management. Class No. 2, Garden Productions. G7 entries in this clais. Many of the specimens were verv fine and more varied in character than heretofore. Class No. 3, Farm Prodactions. 2G entries in this class. The fcpecimens of wheat were very line. Class No. 4. Only three entries made io this class. In class No. 5, Fruits, tc, there were 13 entries.

A IJgEil in llic i:it. Strange as it may appear, wo are beginning to look to the Eastward for 6igns of the end of the war. Nor without reason. If that antimation which has been given by the Republican Convention of Massachusetts bo followed out by the Republicans of New England, New York and the West, and bo accepted with frankness by the Democracy, and the South learns, as it will, that radical abolitionism has been driven into its proper and separate existence, we shall have more hopes for the restoration of peace and friendship than a great victory on the Potomac would give i .

ws. v e allude ot course to tne uir.t t Senator Sumner's speech m the Convention fell still-born, and that a resolution looking to emancipation of slaves was laid out on the table and buried without honors or tears. Whenever politicians of the North are willing to cut oil abolitionism from politics and firmly dissever the principle of emancipation from all management in the political economy of tho United States, we believe that a strong conservative response will be heard from the South, and that a party will be organized, and that of overwhelming force, which willdnvo radical pro sl.ivcryism und sectionalism and State Kiirhtism into outer darkness. Then wo may hope for a glorious reunion. If this could be accomplished, wo do not believe that we should hear tho words compromise or concession hereafter.

The Male of AKalrNtU Washington.

Hon. John W. Dawson, editor of the Fort Wayne Times, who has been appointed Governor of Utah by President Lincoln, writos a3 follows from Washington under date of the 19th inst., in reference to the state of affairs there : This letter ot Lord Lyons is well answered by tho Secretary of Stale; and yet tho dissatisfaction on tho part of the Rritish Government is ominous of evil, and we may as well make up our minds to the reality of the fact that the threatened in terference of England with our affairs will assume greater proportions very soon. God knows that wo already have woes, bloodshed and desolation enough to cause us all to wish and avoidance of euch a direful result as a collision with that power. I repeat it, we may have to meet England, and in my opinion before the 1st of January next our troubles will be more complicated, and the hatred between the United States and Great Rritian much intensified, no matter how our internecine troubles may shape themselves. Tho citizen who is far away from this, the very seat of war, has very little conception of the state of things here of what is thought of the war, ol its prosecution, and its termination. In the first place, her the public mir.d has always been inclined to the Southern side of tho question; and though a new element has been thrown into the city from the North and Northwest in the persons of heads of departments and chief ot tho d i He rent bureaus and subordinates, still the bent of public mind is that way. In tho see - ond place, the very circumstances of war no longer attract attention, while our grand army of the Potomac, like all others, no longer inspires that profound admiration which such things Jo when they are read of and beared of at a distance but nut seen. Tho armv here has come to be viewed as a most fortunate medium through which to make money, and it won't admit of a doubt but that it is used much for that purpose, Rrass buttons, blue coats and tinseled insignia of office are iuie too common, and the wearers sc-eminffly too numerous; while many of lho ,.U8rf M wy w streel3 and Wüt.r about ,he hole,a( st(m loo Vllto inl. preS8e4, wilh lw 0 julica of (heir respctive cilices as if profoundly oblivious lhat t10 enemy is within eighteen miles of the capital of the United States. I don't wonder now that from Hull's Run our forces made such a rush on Washington, and did newspaper editors like the Now York Tribune and abolitionists like Sumner, and Wilson and Wade, and Lovejoy, and a thousand of lesser inluenco RyAQ iU Mmiment aliii, w0 In5,,Mt agsjiu run, God koowa where, perhaps into the trreat lakes of the North. i ut a now genius inspires tho heart and directs the head that now shapes alTaiis here. The city is tsafo beyond all doubt, and all thiiiL's will be done iust as well as it is in , lhy IMIWcr of ilia Federal Government to t,U;m Kveryl,lin.r ne,jCll wi be ac. ; complished, except impossibilities. Our (loveraraent cannot be overthrown by building another ou its ruins, but whether it can prevent another from being maintained to the South of Virginia, Kentucky and Missouii, i to be tested; and did 1 look for leverses autdi as tho New Volk Times and Now Volk Tribune of Friday last essayed to preparo lho public mind to oxpeiietico, I should Hay that the chances were agam6t us. However, white 1 do 1 n)l (,sl,a;r Blin it nj4y transp;ro af(6r tl,e gland battle, expected to bo fought this fall between tho army of the Potomac and the Cow federate forces near the city, that lho whole affair may be compiotnised; nor need it surprise th people if the basis of an adjustment shall require n (greater change in the Constitution than would have tu fliccd to have settld the troubles in the 37th Congress. Though in my hopefulness there is one thing more than all which ground of distrust of our ability to rebtoro Federal authority in all tho ('onfederate States; and that is the fact that they havo an active operating (iovernment which that people recognize, while in my opinion all the Union oeiitiment to bo found in any of those State save perhaps in Kastern Tennessao and in Carlisle's New Virginia exist in the imagination. Tho fact of lho existence of tho (iovernment of tho "Confederate States" and in a working condition, will bo the cause of their success, if anything effect such a thing, for though wo denominate it a rebellion merely to keep out of sight the aumiscdou of tho fact just stated, it still amounts to a great deal more than rebellion, and must bo treated as more a contest botween a stronger and weaker CJovernmetit. History affords us nothing but evidences of despair in our effort to overthrow the Confederate (iovernment, and re-establish Federal authority where it once existed, and against these things wo must be pro pared to most vigorously contend in order

rJJTf ST

to make our case an exception. Even so to reserve Federal authority in Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, And let me conjure every reader of the Times to be alacritous in making his greatest sacrifices now, ere by delay it will be too late to do so much good, I say now this fall this winter not later. Why delay? Rut I do not fear 60 much of the people as I distrust military officers their capacity, itc. I would it were net so. Ki'iiluckiaii ISclMiked by Criltencll'll. However apathetic many may be, there is no apathy about the venerated statesman who has succeeded to the place of Henry Clay in the affections of Kentucky. Glory to God," shouted an excitable gentleman to John J. Crittenden the other day, McClellan is sending 20,000 men from Washington to Cincinnati, for Kentucky. We're safe now." " Safe !" exclaimed the veteran Senator. "Doesn't it Ulster your tongue to tell it? Safe ! by Ohio and Indiana troops while Kentuckians allow themselves to be protected by others. It's a shame to old Kentucky, sir. I had thought that I understood the chivalrous fire of " Old Kentuek " before but never did I realize it so fully as when, a moment afterward, the venerable Senator, addressing a townsman; evidently about his own age, but whose portly form time I uui Ktalt more keenly , exclaimed : 'George you're not too old for a soldier cf course not. I'm not a lit too old for a soldier j uot bit tin old We must turn out und j shame these pretty young men who ought , o imVQ aprons lied around them !" And sure er.ough the aged patriots started off, almost immediately afterward, to call out volunteers among tho mountaineers. Rot no man doubt lho l espouse. There may be traitors in Kentucky, hut tho great heart of tho noble State is sound and Ken-tc-cky valor has not perished in protrac'.ed peace. A (iooi story is told of "a sell " or. the Abolitionists cf Galoaburg. Tho town i made up of abolitionists, and of course they are the last men t volunteer to meet tho men they have traduced for rears. Galefchtirg lias sent few if any soldiers to the war, and those who have cone are not of the class wo speak. Well, the other day the "Railroad conductor, when his train arrived in Ualesburg, told the people that the U. S. clficers were dnittinf in Peoria, and would be there next day to draft them into the service.

The Raiis correspondent of tho N. Y. Times asserts that th j first proposals in regard to (iaiibaldi'a coming to this country were made by tho hitter's own friends. The offer was mad in such a way that tho (iovernment understood that an offer of services had actually taken place, and accordingly Pent Mr. Sanford, Minister to I'elgium, to have an iutorview with him. Mr. S. was authorized to tender him the command of a division of tho army, which he was disposed to accept, but his friends in Italy eppoting it, ho finally concluded to stay at home. An liiiiri'ttiic Prayer. A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazetto writing from Rogansport, Ind. says a patriotic prayer was made in one of tho churches of that placo on the I'rcsident'b l"'ast day, Sept. 'JCth, in tho presence of larijo congregation, by a gentlemeu of re pitted credible attainments, b'jth literary and morxl, in which the following rather odd, and expressive appeal was made : Oh, Lord, had the East done as well as tho Hoosier Stati in furnishing men to put down this rebellion, wo would not be under lho necessity of calling on Thee.' Tho following statement shows tho number and value of lho prizes captured by both of the belligerent parlies during the war : Seized by Confodorates, C4 vessols, S2,7D1,10U; seized by U. Ö.

Republicans 2J Democrats 10 Of the 23 Republicans twenty of them held over from last year. Nothing but this fact prevented both branches of the Legislature being Democratic. Speaking of the election, the Ilarrisburgh Union says, the result is most gratifying and cheering to lho Demociatic party. It shows that Democracy is still a living principal, dear to the hearts of the people, and in spite of defeat and disasters, that would have crushed anv other political organization to the earth, its inherent vitality has enabled it to raise triumphant fi?m the dust of defeat.

mies; and before another year rolls around, it is destinetl to control the politics of this Commonwealth, and to sweep its mongiel opponents into deserved oblivion. The Democratic party has arisen from the dust of humiliation at the very time when they supposed that it was least to be feared. Without pitronage, without organization, accused by its enemies of entertaining secession and treasonable sentiments; its leaders denounced and divided, its printing offices destroyed, its success bewailed, as calculated to weaken the Government and to encourage the rebels, in spito cf these adverse circumstances and these torrents of columny, the old patriotic Union Democrat!?! nartr hasL - j achieved a great victory and confounded j uä bianucrcrs. Pel haps the strongest indication of popular feeling, and of the pover of selfvindication which the Democracy retain, is a case vv'iich tho HariUburgh paper cites. A short timo ago the ofiice of the Kaston Sentinel was destroyed by an enlaged rabble. The alleged motive for this disgraceful act of violencj was, that the Democratic Convention of Northampton County had passed resolutions which did not come up to the prevailing standard of IJIack Republican orthodoxy, and that these resolutions were published in th Sentinel.

Ii'Jti'r Crom Sccrolnry Scwnrcl. Department ok State, ) Washington, Oct. 14 ,1CC1. To la's Excellency, the Governor of the Stat a of Xeio York : Sir: The present insurrection had not even revealed itself in arms, when disloyal citizens hastened to loreurn countries to awake their intervention for the overthrow of the Government and the destruction of the Federal Union. These agents are known to have made their appeals to some of the more important States without success. It is not likely, however, that they will remain content with such refusals. Indeed, it is understood that they are industriously endeavoring to accomplish their disloyal purposes by degrees and by indirection. Taking advantage of ihe embarrassments of agriculture and manufacture and commerce ir. foreign countries, resulting from the insurrection they have inaugurated at home, they seek to involve our common country in controversies with States, with winch every -ublio in-

quire that it shall remain ii relations of peace, amity and friendship. I am able to state, for your satisfaction, that tho prospect for any such disturbance is now less serious than it has been at any previous period during the coursj of tho insurrection. It is, nevertheless, necessary now, as it has hitherto been, to take every precaution that is possible to avoid the evils of foreign war, to bo superinduced upon those of civil commotion, which we are endeavoring to cure. One of the most obvious of such precautions is that our ports and harbors on the seas and lakes should be put in a position of complete defense, for any nation may bo said to voluntary incur danger in! . . tempestuous seasons wuen 11 iaiis to snow lhat ha3 al.eUereiI itself on every side from which tho storm might possibly come. The measures which tho Executive can adopt in this omeigency aro such only as Congress has sanctioned, and for which it has provided. The President is putting foith the most diligent efforts to execute these measures and wo havo the great satisfaction of seeing that these efforts sjconded by the favor, aid and support of a loyal, patriotic and self-sacrificing people are rapidly bringing the military and naval forces of the United States into the highest state of efliciencv. Hut Congress was chiefly .,11... 1 aos orocu uurinir its recent extra session with these measures and did not provide 1 as amply as rotild bo wished for the forti- ; separate activity to the support and aid of tho Federal (iovernment in its arduous responsibilities. Tho same disposition has been manifested in a decree eminently honorable by all tho loyal States dining i the present insurrection. In view ol this fact and relying upon the increase and continuance of th.j tame disposition on the part of tho loyal States, the President has 0 t . to tho siibict of the improvement and ! - J 1 I . . . . , - rio ' perfection of tho defenses of the State, I at'"vt - 'r wliioli you preside, and to ask you to l oVur which you preside, and to ask you to i submit the subject to the consideration of the Legi.-ilatuie, when it shall have as semblod. Such proceedings by the State would require only a temporary use of its means. Tho expenditures ouijht to be made tho subject of conforonco with the i Inderal ( tovernment. Lein; Hui m.ul.' , with the concurrence of the 0 vornni.nt ... , V t Ulli. i I i for general defense, there is every reason i to believe that Congress would sanction; what tho State should do, and would pro vide for its reimbursement. Should these suggestions be accepted, tho President will direct the proper agents of the Federal (Iovernment to confer wilh you, and to superintend, direct and conduct the proseeulion of the system ot defense of your Stale.
