fiV^° The Journal cavs cur asscition that tho attendance nt tho Democratic County Convention "was meagro and several townships wero not fully repiesented," is willfully false.

Tho united exhibition of Vigo

In tho Common Pleas Court yes

terday, tliu Jury in case of Sands vs. Usher et'al, returned a special verdict finding ing in every issue for Mrs. Sands, plaintiff Judgement rendered thereon by tho Court, over a motion for a new trial, the argument of which consumed the morning se-sion. In tho afternoon tho case of Brown vs. Jordon, ct al was tried before a Jury. Nelson & Pierce tor Pla ntigf, Pat» torsou & Allen for defendant. The case was submitted and the Jury is still out.— The docket was then called for trial and a few cases disposed of.

ALMOST A MURDER.—Saturday afternoon James W. Carney, a plasterer in the employ of Mr. H. Daniels, called at Colescott's establishment, corner of Fifth and Cherry Streets, and asked for a drink of whisky. Being intoxicated at tho time lie was refused, and afterwards put out of tho house. He then attempted to get in at a window, when Mrs. Colescott seized a rolling-pin and poundod him over the head in a most shocking manner. Carney was picked up insensiblo and carried to Manning's paint shop, across the Street. Dr. Link was called and dressed tho .vounds. In doing so it was necessary to shave all tho bair from tho man's head. Tho injury is quite serious, but it is thought will not result fatally.

CHURCH ENTERPEISE.—Wo notice of ate unusual activity in promoting church growth in our State and adjoining us, which is worthy of all encouragement. Superintendents of this work have been appointed by various denominations of tho State as follows Kev. N A. Hyde, ith office at Indianapolis, for the Congregationalists Bev. Mr. Cheever, with office at Terre Haute, for the Presbyterians, N. S. Rev, Dr. Safford, with office at Cincinnati, for the Presbyterians, 0. S

We see that Dr. S. ba3 declined the ap*. pointmenl. of tho Chicago Theological Seminary, and continues in this work. The active zeal of these State Superintendents bus already quickened many churches and prompted new and useful enterprises for tho church and country. All good men will join hands in every good work for our growing State.

WF.STWATVD Ho!—The usual flood of autumn emigration has already set in and every day the covered wagon, with its attendant horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, and flaxen haired children, may be seen passing dowr, Main street, over tho b'idge, and away out to tho Far West. How fast that "Far W^st" recedes from the view. it a few short years ago Indiana the West.' Then gradually—very radual'sy, tbe harrier was passed and and the on-torn parts of Iowa and Missouri formed the advance column. n) the tide erleapcd this barrier and the current gathering new t-trcngth and rushed on and spread out over the mighty prairies of thj West, until mighty waters bo im.i a vast oce life.

States, was l"St in the radical ele ment which now over-hadowud it. Citie rose where the wild flower bowed it head beneath the hunters' tread. And then there camo a lull in emigration—peo pie had a brief tim*' to breathe and loo! around see whether they were in land of rea ity or enchantment. But anon the current moves again—now fiald opening—tho grand sublime north western wilderness is now subjected to the inroads of civilization.

STATE FAIE —The following items rn card from the Secretary'of the State-Beard of Agriculture, are mostly familiar to cur readers, but as everything cormeeted with the approaching exhibitiqn^ which prom isos to be tho most successful of any over held in the State, is &*g«rl£ read, we spread tbe card in our column and suggest that1 each of oar exchanges give it a place:

The fifteenth annua] State Fair will be hold at Terre Haute, commencing Monday, September 30th, and continuing the entire week. The location of the fair, in the great Wabash Valley, will insure its success. Great preparation is being made by the citizens of tbe State, a« well a? of Illinois,, to mako the fair a grand success, by bringing everything in conmpetition at the fair, that will bo either interesting or exciting. Stock of every kind$ inventions, machinery, and implements of every description the products of tho earth, vegetable and mineral, will be on exhibition in profusion.

The grounds belonging to the Vigo Agricultural Society are the finest ever prepared in the State. They now contain seventy acres, having been enlarged recently." The half-mile track, which_ has been "prepared by tho Society at consider^ able expense, h?-a been thrown.aside and a good mUe track is now contemplated, being tbe best ever prepared in the State,with an amphitheater capable of seating three thousand persons, overlooking the entire grounds. Immediately in front of the amphitheater is the stock ring, in which will bo exhibited the blooded stock.— Twenty-five acres of the grounds are in a beautiful grove, set with shadelife.-s and grass, in which is situated tho halls, seven in number, viz fine art, floral, musical, mechanical, farm product, power and miscellaneous substantially built, from one hundred to two hundred feet in length, well roofed, for the protection of valuable articles on exhibition.— Tho grounds lay north of and adjoining tho national road, and only ttirep hundred feet from the Terro Haute iucl Indianapolis "Railroad. All regula^ rtnd extra trains on this road will stop, going east or west, for tho accommodation of passengers, and a special train from the city will run to the fair grounds every thirty minutes during tho entire week. Large camping grounds adjoining the fair grounds, are provided for tboso who may come prepared to camp out.

All railroads have agreed to- "carry passengers at half fare. I will remove my office to Terre Haute on Monday, September the' SCtb, one week preceding the fair, and it is desirablo that all those who can conveniently, to avoid confusion and delay, will avail themselves of this opportunity of making thoir entries during that week. ..The entry fee is ten per cent, of tho amount of premium offered. Entries can be made, either by letter or in person. Premium lists furnished on application to the Sec retary.

Terro Haute is a beautiful city, containing now over twenty-four thousand inhabitants, and is provided with arnplo accommodations for ut least thirty thousand poople, day and night, during the fair. Tho Wabash river is navigable as far up aa Terre Haute, and steamboats will ply rogularly between Terre Haute and tho cities down the Wabasbr There is now no other attraction 'in the Stato so great as tho artesian well in Terre Haute, nearly two thousand feet deep, and flowing about eighteen thousand barrels of water daily. Every person in the State should go and see the well, "and partake of this pure water." All other attractions, incident to fairs, will be there.

Mr. John M. Kinney, tho great balloon man, from Columbus, Ohio, will mako a series of balloon ascensions, comprising grand tropical balloon ascensions, or letting persona asiso in a balloon to tho height of one thousand feet, by means of ropo and windlass also, a grand balloon race, or two balloons ascending at tbe same time and a balloon wedding, or marriage in a balloon, by a young and loving couple, who are desirous of pass-

DEMOCRATIC COUVKUTIOX.—Pursuant to programme tho delegates appointed by tho several townships assembled at tho Court House Saturday afUjfnoon to select candidates to run in opposition to %he Union nominees. Tlfea attendance was meagre, and several townships were not fully represented, nevertheless the usual form was gone.through with.

As soon as the ratio of representation was fixed—(twenty-five votes for Harrison, and five for each of tho other townships.) Col, Cookerly stated that John B. Meyer was the only candidate for Recorder, and moved that ho be declared the nomineo. At this Mr. Shimer, a staunch democrat, arose and- announced that he was an independent candidate for the samo office. It looks very much as though tho "gagging" process has been applied to all other aspirants in the democratic camp. Tho vote was taken, and of course Mr. Meyer was declared the nominee.

For Commissioners there were two candidrtSei announced from each district—Dr. Hollingsworth and Nathan Balding from the First, and Linus Moyer and Benjamin Mowhinney from the Second District. On a ballot bsing taken, Dr. Hollingsworth and Benjamin Mowhinney wore selected.

Col. Cookerly, from the committee on Resolutions, read tho tollpwing, which wort) adopted:

Jicluaive of decoration 1, diwitlx sea&ng accommodations for twenty-nine hundred persons, besidesrtha eight hundred--singers and musioians on the etagej 'was filled to its utmost qftpaoity.:- The scene presented to tho ey*£ after all were ftnxl^r rseatcd, was such as to'gratify the mo^t extraV^ gant fancy Here amid the -gay decorations in which American colors of red, wiiitei ai^^ue, and &ernaf^i7Sb!4r3 black, rod and yollow were equally distributed, amid the hapgUUjf'banners^ calerl by innumerahle. u^rflor^. Could bb seen the roguigh smile of digif^ed boftuty, who arrayed in toilets, rich, neat and picturesque, gave that carflival-like itptoca^ance to the Hall-which conveyed the injagTnatiofrjbnck to the agoof romuooe and" chivalryr when tbe valor of gallant cavaliors receivett the unstinted plaudits and glowing smile^of maiden qaecni.

The audience was seated oy~ eight

o'elsel£fwhi 1 hundrede jujjojtjJiandrods were congregated outside, nnd such was the immense volume of sound that i^ued from eight hundred stout throats .thatawe have no doubt those outside enjoyed 'the concert nearly as well as the assemblage inside.

In the moantimo the singers iadcol lectod on the stage, and directlyafter eight o'clock the Grand Orchestra, under the direetion of Carl Barus, 'opened with Beethoven'^overtue "Leonoro," performcd ill such a manner as to.raise the-oxpec-tation to tho highest pitch "as to the programme which followed. W will not follow it through. It consisted !of fivo grand choruses, two overtures by the orchestra, and Mendelssohn's first Concerto in minor performed on a Steinway Grand-Piano, by Mr. H. Andre, accompanied by the whole orchestra. This was a masterly performance, and stamped Mr. Andre as a pianist of no ordinary merit. Tho notes of the piano tood out distinct above tho grand orchestra of sixty instruments, combining with grand and thrilling effect.

The best chorus of tho ovoning, wo thought, was the German 3ong by Schneider, in which the marvelous te"nor voice of Mr. Bischoff, of Chicago, ce oe in with the most pleasing effort. This picco_vras so persistontly encored, thai tho. director was obliged to yield to the request and repeat it.

But the gem of the evening, and alono worth the trip to the Capital, was the rendition of Littolf's overture to '•Robespierre," by the grand Orchestra, which presented the remarkable[array-of twen^ four violins, four violoncellos, four.duubiobaeses, with reed and wind insttuflieutg sufficient to baianco, and swelling tho number to sixty. This overture ihti"o* duces the sbuVstirring,-Mar5ellane'T* "and in fact snatches of tho air burjt out ut brief intervals throughout tho composition Its effect on the audience was most magical. One might as well attempt to describe th3 changing figiiMfs cf a kaiaidescope, or the varied hues of nn Octobor landscape. It was fast and slow, loud und soft, dying away at tjuies to the trill of a bird, or to a strain as soft as the eoho of an Alpine horn, and then swelling into a blast, as the theme ran into the chorus that fairly shook the building. It seemed as if it only required ono shout from a single voice to have caused thatvast assemblage to rise to its feet, and give vent to the -bursting,__throbbing hearts. But the listeners were catnap from one bevuty to another with such rapidity as to be overpowered—lo-t in the sweet confusion of melodious junds and unarthly melodies.

Everthing, however, mu-t have an end, so had the eoncert Oh leavin» the Hnll it-was not to go home, but togivoway to the fullest soc-ial enjoyment. Tho Germans, of course took the lead, afvd Americans followed, making excellent imita tors. While Bands promenaded the streets, discoursing soul stiring strains, tho greater portion of the-poople -repaired to

Mozart Hall to hero tho interval until the midnight hour wn« most happily spent.— Terre Hanto was represented that evening by near two hundred of our people, ladies^ nnd gentlemen Among them we found our own Maenncrchor, in extMcies at the hospitable treatment-it had received at the hands of the generous citizens of the Capital The following gentlemen cntitute tho Terre Haute Maennorchor
