State Agricultural Fair.

HARRIsBURG, October 30.-The State Fair was
opened to the public this morning, and has been
attended during the day by an immense number
of persons. The results, both regards the
character of the exhibition and the interest it
has excited throughout the State, is in the high
est degree satisfactory and encouraging to the
projectors of the enterprise. From the opening
this morning, until o'clock this afternoon, over
fourteen thousand persons were admitted within
the enclosure. Gov. Johnston and lady we're
present considerable portion of the day; and
also Mr.. Buchanan. Col. Bigler has not yet
arrived. The several trains arriving during the
day, were all crowded to excess, and hundreds
will be unable to obtain anything like comfort
able lodgings for the night.
The ploughing match takes place tomorrow,
at O'Clock, and bids fair to be an attractive
contest, quite number of competitors fer
the prize have entered. The annual address
before the Society, will be delivered at one o.
clock, by the Hon. Andrew Stevenson of Virginia,
after which the Society will partake of supper
which is to be got up on a magnificent scale.
A shower of rain came up very suddenly this
afternoon, but from appearances it will not last
hoped for.
OCTOBER 3l.-The State Agricultural Fair has
even been more crowdei to-day than it was yes
terday, the day fortunately proving very fine and
inviting. 1t was in fact the great day of the
festival, into which all of interest connected
with the fair was crowded The ploughing
match took place at 8 o'clock this morning, and
excited no little interest. Numerous ploughs
were entered for the contest, and the ploughmen
represented various portions Of the country.
The ground selected was a field of twenty acres
Immediately adjoining the grounds of the Fair,
and by its excellent soil and fine situation admi-
rably suited to the purpose. Among the ploughs
entered were several of Prouty s. Mears of Bos-
ton; st. Clair of Baltimore; Hall g. Spears of
Pittsburg; Pauley of Montgomery, and Cusslet
of Cumberland. The ploughing was generally
good, but the premiums have not yet been
awarded. The match was witnessed by from
three to four thousand persons, and among the

The long agony is respecting the Canal En-

head, in another part of CHS days paper. Now that
the subject has been pretty eGectualy disposed of,
we Look for an early adjournnen. of the Lie gisla-

The Pennsylvania Wing State Convention a.
sembed yesterday at Lancaster, and, as appears
by or despatch, nominated Governor Johnston, by
reclamation, the whig candidate for reelection
10 the Office of Governor OF the State. A number
Of resolutions were passed, breathing a protee-
tive tariff, and denouaeins the tariff act Of 1916.
They also recommend the nomination of General
Scott for the Presidency, while they compliment
Presdsnt Fillmore for his adherence to whig prin-
ciples. After the adjournment Of the convention
Governor Johnston delivered an address in front Of
the Had which elected considerable enthusiasm.

quantity Of io2r hundred thousand dead letters

DISTINGUISHED STRANGERS II THE Cr1Y.-A few
days ago, the Count Vileneuva, from Havana, with
his lady, and several Spanish officers, arrived IN
this city, and tc ok lodgings at tie Clinton Hotel
1t is the purpose of the Count to proceed from this
city to Europe, and finally to arrive in Spain.
Count Villeneuva is a native Of Cuba, and By his
talents and energy has risen to the first grade OF
wealth and espectability-devo.ing his mind with
singular success to the financial affairs of the GO
vernment His large intelligence, for the last
quarter of a century, has been Of great service to
Cuba, and he has done much in introducing to his
countrymen those great mechanical inventions and
material Improvements, which have had so great an
effect upon Europe and the United states. The
introduction Of the steam engine an railroads into
Cuba, was owing to his financial sagacity and fore
sight; and, to reasonable extent, he has entertain
ed the principles of free trade the foundation of
an enlightened public policy. Ami ist the changes
and revolutions of the last twenty five years in
Cuba, il is net the least commend able fact in the
Count Eil'ersuvas history, that his integrity and
financial talent, coupled with energy and zeal,
have KEEP. him in his distinguished office. lie has
now resigned it, and the Office of Intemente, or Sec
rotary, SO ably flled for go many years by the
Count, will be consigned to the hands of another
the Count, probably, retiring to spain, where he
will devote his loyalty to the Queen in person, at
Madrid-htIeafter to be his residence for 4 consde
rable period.
Another distinguished stranger in the city, is
Senior Calderon de la Barca. He has been accredit-
ed from the Court Of Spain to this country, for
several years. Few foreign ministers have enjoyed
for so long time as he, such measure Of popu-
larity with the people and the officers Of our go
yerhment lie is highly distinguished for his lite
rary taste and researches into Spanish literature,
and il, we believe, descendant from the great
Spanish author, the immortal Calderon. Some
recent :ounts have stated that he IL about to
tire and that Gonzales Bravo has received an ap.
pointment in his pla,e. This Is, We think, q pre-
mature announcement, and has been contradi,ted
II Is quite possible, however, that such event
may take place. for Spanish politics are of luc-
tuating character, and the issues are uncertain.
Our city authorities have shown, hitherto-much
TO their credit-a disposition to extend the hosp-
taties Of the Corporation to distinguished foreign
ers; and We would suggest that, We have now
such eminent men from spain among US, the wishes
OF society and of commercial circles would only
be carried out by extending to both these distin-
guist cd strangers the attentions 10 which their
many merits entitlc them, not less than the emf
nent positions which they have held under their 20
yernment.

THE SLIEvEGANaoN PHILOSOPHERS AND HAYrI.-
We publish in our columns, to-day, letter ad-
dressed by Mr.. Benjamin L. Green, tho late agent
of the United States government to the editor OF
the Tribune, in which the fthose philosophers
and their Slievegammon intelligence, are duly no
tieed and corrected. This is precisely what might
have been expected; and if all the nonsense on
Hayten affairs which appears in the socialist jour
nal, should be subjected to investig alton and cor
rection, the task would never be at an end.
The fact is, that the socialist philosophers and
interpreters of Slevegammon news, ready, at
the beck and call of certain commercial houses In
Boston and this city, to publish anything that may
elevate the hopes of Soulouque, otherwise entitled
Faustin the FIRST It is the purpose of these specu
lators to deceive the Emperor-to make him think
that the American people inclined to view with
pleasure his plan for subjugating the Domini,ans
to his government, as well receive his agents
here on diplomatic footing. The interest which
Soulouques bankers and commercial agents in the
North have to make purchases for the Haytien 60
vernmen, and, of course to handle the funds Of the
Emperor, il the prime cause of the very curious in.
elligence-more properly known in liberal language
as falsekoods-which emanates from Boston fre-
quently, and sometimes from commercial houses in
this city; and it is quite time that all these attempts
at imp osition, whether designed to deceive Sou
louque or the American public should be ter ninat-
ed. For couple of years, the payment of the in
demnity due from Hayt to the United States, has
been STAYED of by these commercial speculators;
and, not contented with this exertion Of their in
luence, they are now upheld by iabrcations which
the Slievegammon philosophers are busy IN extend.
ing ard amassing, Mr.. Benjamin l.. Green very
properly shows of what material these literary
combs frame their extraordinary intelligence. 1t
is well that they unmarked.
