AGRICULTURAL FAIR. We publish this
week the Rules, Regulations, List ofpremiums
&c. of the Windham County Agricultural So
ciety,although we have already supplied most
of our subscribers in the County with hand
bills containing the same matter. The An
nual Fairit to be held in this village on the
18th and 9Th days of October We see by the
papers that the inhabitants Of other Counties

full attendance at their annual meetings, and
to make them interesting and profitable
We hope the farmers of Windham County
will not be behind their n~eighbors in this re-

DEPARTURE OF II PRINCETON. We
copy the following from the correspondence
of the Mobile Herald and Tribune

Princeton, off Pensacola, Sept. Is.
l have barely time to scrawl you few lines,
and send them back by the pilot. We left
this evening at about half past six, direct for
Chagres, on the Isthmus of Darien, taking out
Lieutenant Lee as bearer of dispatches to the
Pacific squadron. You will remember we
arrived here on the 18th inst, and have pro-
visioned, watered, taken in two hundred tons
Of coal, and got under weigh again, in two
days,-a thing, | believe, unprecedented in
our naval annals. Our instructions are to
carry Lieut.. Lee to Chagres, whence he will
cross in two days to Panama, deliver his dis
patches to Captain Nicholson, and return inn
mediately, should he find him there: but
should he have left, he is to be followed until
found, in which case Lieut.. Lee will write
back at once the Princeton remaining at
Chagres until he returns in person, or COM
municates by letter, after which the ship re-
turns again to Pensacola,
The object of the great expedition used in
getting the PRINCETON ready and at seain two
days is to get our dispatches to the Pacific
squadron before those carried out by the
steamer SpitGre can be acted upon. The
present instructions being as pacific as the
former ones were hostile.

committee of fifty to hold a conference with
the Nauvoo forces, and that the result was a

The mediation of England upon the Mex

seen it tried and proved before; the loaf and
quicksilver were thrown into the water, and
much to the establishment of all, the loafhoat-

"CATTLE SHOW" We understand that
the agricultural Eau to be held in this town
on the first of October next, is likely to be
far more extensive than was at first anticipa-
ted. A large number of animals have already
been entered for premium, from all sections
of the county, and we have reason to believe
that the mechanical interest will also be well
represented on that occasion. We consider
this a very laudable enterprise, one which
has been attended with the most beneficial
results in other states, and will present the
same effect here, if our farmers and mechan-
les will but give it its due consideration. We
say then, let every man, whether he has any
thing to present or not, attend the Fair on
Thursday next, and at that time decide in his
mind that at the second annual exhibi-
ton he will have some articles to present for
premium himself.-N. Mercury.
