^TEHTil^HAUTE MONDAY MORNING. OCT. 5. *57 The Vigo County Talr.
We visited, on Saturday for the first time, our connty Fair, and wore much pleased with tbo many articles on exhibition there, and the spirit manifested by oar citixens and others in their endeavors to make the exhibition as interesting as possible. The collection of powers, fruits and vegetables, although not the most extensive, was very fine, and the mechanical arts were well represented by almost every thing, from the heaviest nnd most useful machinery, to tho most delicate and costly furniture. Even the fine arts themselves had here a temple, and nnmcrou8 oil paintings and fino specimens of the dsguerrean art giaced the walls of the hall containing tho fine articles of the exhibition.
Among the agricultural implements, which attracted considerable attention, was a straw cutter invented by Mr. John Tucker. There have been so many of these useful implements already invented, that one might almost suppose that no improvements could be made upon them, but all who examined this, pronounced it, without hesitation, the be&t they had ever seen.
Wo noticed some very fine wagons upon tho grounds, tho best of which, in ottr estimation was that built by Mr. Scott, although we noticod the ribbon whioh denoted the premium upon ono built by ]tlie Messrs. Conner. The were also several carriages upon exhibition but wo did not learn where they were built.
There were quite a number of plows of various kinds, from the establishments of Wolfe fc Co., N. Smith & Son, and Grovor, Griswold & Co.— The plows which were built for the latter firm by Mr. I. Long of this city were unnnimously acknowledged to be the most handsome of any upon exhibition, and one of them, wo understand, took two premiums, ono boing for the beat plow built in tho county. There were many machines of different kinds upon the grounds which wo had not tho leisure to inspect.
Thore was considerable tasto display'd in the arrangement of the things in the hall, which was so full of little articles of luxury and tasto that it wonld be useless for
UB
to attempt to describe or
onmnorato them., Among them were some very creditable oil paiutsngs of Mrs. K. M. Hall, James Gookins, and Mr. Wright. The fruit pieces from the pencil of the latter are very fine. They are done up to the standard of nature.
The fino specimens of Daguerrean art, from tlie'rooms of A. R. Miller, ant Allshulcr «fe Nicoloy, attracted mneb attention and well thoy might, for the specimens thore would have done credit to any gallery.
The furniture from the establishment of J. C. Walter was universally admired. We could not attempt to describe the many beautiful articles, but for variety and beauty they were such as we have rarely seen at a county fair.
Doubtless many articlos deserving of notice have been passed over by us, but it was impossible to remember them all. We hope to be able to publish tho premium list as soon as it can be procured, and in that manner do justice to all.
This was also the day appointed for the trial of skill of tho different Fire Companies, and the award of a trumput to tho one which should do the quickest work. Tho Mohawk and Deluge Companies were on the grounds at an early honr in the day— and ihe Vigo's, preceded by one of the German Brass Bands, arrived at »bout ton o'clock. The trial soon afterwards took place in this manner. Each Company was to start from a oerUtfn point, about one or two hundred yards distant from the water, and tor with their machine to the water, attach the suction and hose, throw water thirty seconds, replace the auction, &«., and ran back to the point from which they started. The Vigo's tttado the first trial. Two of their am fell at they noared the pond, and narrowly escaped being ran over. By this they lost soiw» seconds of time hot otherwise did good work. Hie Mohawks came next. They also did good work and made good time, considering that their engine was much the heaviest of the three.'-^ "XSteu*
minis.
greatest misfortune seemod to Ue in having miscalculated—or not calculated at all—-tho length of their auction pipe, ami running their engine too dose to the water tank, so that it reached beyond the tank, and not far enough to draw from the-pond. They at length suoceedod in gotting it into tho tank, but lost considerable time in die operation. Tho Deluge Company made the noxt trial, making in the trip, the best time of any. They, however, neglected to bring baek some of their machinery, and only throw eight seconds instead of thirty. The Mohawks enly throw eleven seconds* but the Vigo's throw thirty.
Wo have the time, but as the table without any explanation wonld bo unintelligible, and as the comroitteo took all things into consideration in making tho award, the figures without their explanations would not show the reasons that governed them. The trumpet was awarded to the Vigo, No. 2's, and was received with appropriate remarks, by their captain, John A Bryan. The committee, in view of tho close contest between the Vigo and Deluco companies, recouimonded tho citizens to purchase and present to the latter a trumpet similar to the ono presented to the Vigo.
The universal opinion is that the companies all did themselves credit in this trial, and it is something to boast of in our city and county that we now have, in our three oompanies, what can worthily be called a good fire department.
Cousin Sally Billiard.
BY HAMILTON P. JONES.
Wo think.it high time that Cousin Sally Dilliard, Capt. Rice &Co., were again brought before the minds of the public. They deserve to be reprodu ced every few years. Especially will thoy keep our friends in a good humor with themselves for aC least a week after the reading.
Scene—A Oourt of Justice in North Carolina. A beard Jess disciple of Temis rises and thus addresses the court: "May it please your worships, and you, gentlemen of the jury, since it has been my fortune (good or bad I will not say to exercise myself in legal acquisition, it has never befallen me to prosecute so direful, marked and malicious an assault* A more willful, violent, and dangerous battery, and finally a more diabolical breach of the peace has seldom happened in a civilized country, and 1 dare say it has seldom been your duty to pass upon one so shocking to benevolent feelings as this which took place over a Captain Bice's, in this county. But you, will hear from the witnesses."
The witnesses being sworn, two or three were examined and deposed.— One said he heard tho noise but did not seo tho fight, another that he had seen the row bnt did not know who struck first, another that ho was very drunk and conln't say much about the scrimmage. ",s
Lawyer Chop*—I am sorry gentlcnten, to have occupied your time with the stupidity of the witnesses examined. It arises, gentlemen, altogethor from misapprehension on ray part.— Had I known, as I now do, that I had a witness in attendance who was woll acquainted with all the circumstances of the case, and who was able to make himself dearly understood by the court and jury, I should not have trespassed po long npon your time and patience. Come forward Mr. Harris and bo sworn.
So forward comes the witness, a fat chuffy old man a "leetle" corned, and took his oath with an air.
Chop*—Harris, we wish you to tell about the riot that happened the other day at Captain Rice's, and, as a good deal of time has already been wasted in circumlocution, we wish you to be compendious, and at the same time as explicit as possibe.
Harris—Adzaetly, (giving thelawyei a knowing wink, at tbo same time clearing up his throat.) Captain Rice he gin a treat, and cozen Sally Dilliard she come over to my house and axed me if my wife she moutn't go? I told eusen Sally Dilliard that my wife was poorly, being as how she had a touch of the rheumatics in the hip, and the big swamp was in the road, for there had been a heap of rain lately, but, howsomever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dilliard, my wife she mont go. Well, cousin Sally Dilliard then axed me if Mose^he moutn't go? I told cousin Sally Dilliard that he was the foreman of the crap, and the crap was smartly in the grass but, howsomever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dillard, Moss he mont go.
Ohom.—In the name of common sense, Mr. Harris, what do you mean by this rigamarole?
Ifdwn.—Captain Rice he gin a treat, and conara Sally Dilliard she came over to our honse and axed me if my wife ahe moutn't go? I told cousin Saily Dilliard— (?Aqp»—Stop, sir, if yon please: we don't want to hear any thing about your cousin Sally DQliard and your wife tell us about the fight at Rice's.
I will, .air, if you
Well,
will let me. 4?

what do you
-We want to know abont iroceed
fi|{ht, and yc-u must not pi in this impertinent story. Do you know any thing about tho matter be* fore the court. %*|$
Wtfttsss. To be sure I do. Ctoj*s.—Well, you go on and tell it, and nothing else.
Witness.—Well, Captain Rice ho gin a treat,— Chop*.—Tills is intolerabler-May it pleaso tho court that this witness be committed for contempt he seems to bo trifling with this Court gp
Court.—Witness,
you arb before a
court of justice unless you bohave yournclf in a more becoming manner, you will be sent to jail so begin and toll what you know about the fight at Captain Kice's.
Witness—(allarmed.)—Well, gentlemen, Captain Rice he gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dilliard—
Chops.—I hope the witness may be ordered intocustodv. Court, (after deliberating.)*—Mr. Attorney we are of the opinion that wo may save time by letting the witness go on in his own way. Proceed Mr. Harris with your story, but stick close to the point.
Witness.—Yes, gentlemen. Captain Rice ho gin a treat, and cousin Sally Dillinrd come over to our honse, and axed me if my wife she montn'tgo?— I told cousin Sally Dilliard that my wife sho was poorly, being as how she had the rheumatics in the hip, and the big swamp was up but, howsomever, as it was she, cousin Sally Dilliard, my wife she mout go. Well cousin Snlly Dilliard axed me if Mose he moutn't go? I told cousin Sally Dilliard as how Mose he was foreman of the crap, and the crap it was smartly in the grass, bnt, howsomever, as it was sheconsin Sally Dilliard^Mose he mont go. So they gose o'n together, Mose, my wife and consin Sally Dilliard, and they come to the big swamp, and it was np as I was tellin you but beings how there was a big log across the swamp, cousin Sally Dilliard and Mo*a, like genteel folks, they walked the log, but my wife she hoisted her coats and waded through—
Chops.—Heavens and earth this is too bad but go on. Witness—Well, that's all I know about the fight!
PARSON BROWNLOW Toitsrixo MISSIONARY.—In concluding paTt of a recent lotter to tho Now ork imes, written in defence of th0 barbarous atrocities perpetrated by Colonel Nothorland, of Rogersville, Tennessee, on one of his slaves—'whifth havo been extensively commented
On
at the
North, and which must bo very generally condemned at tho South, Rev. W. G. Brownlow, takes occasion to offer himself for missionary servico in the free States. He recognizes, however, a first duty to be porfortned at home. He announces that he is about to make a lecturing tour through the South, as a special champion of slaveiy, after which he has tho purpose of consoerating his labors, for uwhllo, to the enlightenment of tho North on this question. We give tho conclusion of Mr. Brownlow's letter:
In the spring I purpose vini ting the New England States and repeating the same lectures. In other words, I propose going among you as a Southern Missionary, to enlighten yonr benighted freesoil population upon the subject of slavery. I look npon the cities and towns of the New England States and of the Northwestern States, as opening a wider and more extensive field, at this time, for faithful missionary labors, than Hindostan, Siam, Ceylon, China or Western Africa I In addition to your wicked and rebellions eourse upon the slavery question, yon have forgotton the true God and the Christian religion, and gone off after Spiritualism, Fanny Wrightism, Fourierism, "Mormonism, Abolitionism, Devilism.and the hundred-and-one isms, so spontaneonsly .produced by New England soil I
I hope, gentlmen, yon will do me the favor to publish this hastily written letter, and your Blaek Republican associates the kindness to let them know I am coming. They may wish to master np one of your Beeehet* or Parkers to reply to me. I will divide time with any one of yonr picms freedom shriekere.
Respectfully, Ac-,
W. G. BROWNIjOW,
Editor of the Knoxville Whig. Smt. 12,1867.
