rHE sTATE FAIR.


49, r.ir of the North Carolina State Agri-
~ Society, which commenced in this City on
last has far surpassed the most sanguine
noctations of its friends. We hear on all sides the
latest expressions of qualification at the display
lo hos been made of our resources in agriculture,
- mechanics in minerals, in manufactures in ma
ohinor Of various kinds, in horses and cattle, in
1so,,soboId productions, and in the fine arts. The
ot which we publish to-day viii afford some idea OF
tho extent and variety of the exhibitions many ar
+cles are however, unlisted, and it is probable that
toro are not less than eight hundred counting ALL
Of course we cannot anticipate the decisions OF the
Committees appointed to examine the various articles
nor would it be proper for us to make discrimlna-
tions or to attempt to single out what we might
deem superior either in kind appearance; but we
NAV hereafter, when we publish the list OF preml-
INNS take occasion to allude with some Particular
tv to articles and their merits
The attendance was larger on Wednesday than on
any other day-the assemblage not being less, we
think, than four thousand. The address was dellV-
cred on Wednesday, by the Hon. A. W. Venable 1t
was worthy, in every respect, OF the reputation Oh
its author 1t will be printed, we presume, when
the people generally viii have the qualification OF
perusing it and judging of its merits.
On Thursday the Committees were diligently en-
eaged in examining articles preparatory to their Re
ports.
"Foral Hall " has been crowded every day with
the intelligent and the beautiful from all quarters,
who could not fail to be impressed with the evidences
of taste on the part of the ladies whose fair hands
had decorated and adorned it.
The weather was fair and the atmosphere exceed
ngly dusty until Thursday, when the rain fell in tor
rents The Grounds now in good condition, and
the assemblage we suppose, will not be much less
on this friday the last day of the Fair than on
Wednesday. The best order has prevailed within
the enclosure.
Every true-hearted son of North Carolina must
feel proud of the occasion. 1t is a tangible, papa
bic evidence not only of her vast resources but of
the fact thatshe is at last aroused and moving for
ward with majestic step, to high and bright posi-
ton in the ranks of her confederated sisters
The, first North Carolina Fair has been success
full the second will strike many with agreeable
surprise than the first The great West as well as
the wel-cultivated and fertile East, will be here,
trust in full force in October, 1854; and year af
ter year we shall make this the occasion and the
means of closer intercourse and larger and deeper
physical and mental development.

THE ADMINISTRATION. To all democratic readers
who have watched with an unprecedented eye, the
course of the administration, any eulogy upon its
efficiency and sound republcansm will be superflu-
In fact, all political parties compelled to
admit that the policy of the President proves that he
is actuated by the purest motives, the most ardent
patriotism and design to sustain true, national
democratic principles. There is doubt that in
these troublous times, when wars and rumors of
wars " are convulsing the Old World and gigantic
enterprises agitating the New, public attention,
and not without censure, will be earnestly directed,
as in the times of President jackson, towards the
heads of government. Their acts will be bitterly
dsparaged by their political opponents and by the
malcontents of our own party, and it will devove
upon the President and his cabinet to accomplish,
without regard to men, and by inhexible purpose,
the which their deliberate judgment shall
have recommended to them.
The country looks to them with confidence in this
particular, for it has already awarded to them the
attributes of rmness, sagacity, discretion and Am
ercanism in a degree exceled by any of their
predecessors. A great change is already sensibly
felt and all portions of the country invigorated
by the renovation of American energy, and the de-
termined spirit which guarantees the accomplish
ment of great enterprises at home the preservation
all hazards of the union of the States, and the
defence and elevation of the national honor in the
view of all nations. I0aoG Despatch.

IMPORTANT TO PosTMAsTERs AND OTHERS. We are
requested by the postmaster general to call attention
to the following regulations in regard to postage
letters to foreign countries:
In the mail to Great Britain the single rate of
postage is "a cents prepayment optional. On eth
er a letter or packet of any weight the acAOle post
age or none at all should be prepaid. If anything
less than the whole is prepaid, account is taken
of it, and 1T is entirely lost to tie sender The Brit
ish post Office declines to change this rule except
conditions considered nadmisSble
In the Prussian closed mails to Germany, 80 cents
is the sngl rate pre- payment optional. This pays
from any part of the United States to any part of
the German Austrian postal union. A prepayment
of any less than the regular rate of 80 cents is
not recognized and is of lost to the sender
note of fractions of the rate could not be taken
without seriously compcating the accounts, besides
causing much additional labor and trouble at the
change Offices But contrary to the practice under
the United States and British postal convention in
the Prussian mail every full rate of 80 cents is cred
ited whether the whole postage letter packet
is prepaid or not, leaving any balance due to be
collected at the office of delivery.
By the Bremen mail the rule is the same under
the Prussian arrangement. The single rate to Bre-
men is 10 cents, to Oldenburg r. to Hamburg 10
to Altoona and Hanover 81 and to any other place in
Germany % cents, prepayment optional In either
prepayment of any fraction of the full rate
goes for nothing.
The rule rating letters to all foreign countries lex
cept the British North American provinces) is to
charge one rate for half an ounce or under two rates
if the weight is one-haf and not exceeding an
ounce four rates it over and not exceeding two
sic rates over two and not exceeding three
ounces; and so on charging two rates for every
ounce or Fractional part Of the first
ounce AS this rule differs from that followed in
respect to domestic letters where each half ounce or
fraction of half ounce counts rate only, post
masters who not careful to observe this differ
ence are liable, of course, to commit mistakes.

Mr.. Holden of the Standard exhibits some very beau
tiful specimens of printing. They would do credit
to any Boston establishment celebrated the world
over for their perfect Typography. Mr. Whitaker of
the Live Giraffe, exhibits pair of large and healthy
Shanghai fowl, and Mr.. Moore of the Warrenton
News, has no specimen on exhibition, save his own
intelligent and happy face, which have encountered
throughout the grounds, and at almost every turn.
Mr.. W. L. Pomeroy, bookseller and publisher Fay
ettevlle street. exhibits several volumes of splendid
ly bound books. No Carolnian need go north for
books of any description. Mr.. P. furnish
good article and on better terms, than any house
north of that much talked of line known Mason &
DiXon'S."
Thank you, Sir We could not we'll omit the al
fusion to the Standards printing without marring
the paragraph Mr.. Crutchfield adds:
1.-THE agricultural and mineral resources of the
State well represented. To enumerate each and
every specimen would be vain attempt | have
not the time and if had, the columns of your paper
not sufficiently numerous to contain it. Every
species of CATTLE all descriptions of fowl agricultural
instruments vegetables fruits, flowers and beautiful
pieces of mechanism are to be seen most admirably

resources and products of this State I never before
could fully realize the truth in regard to these mat

pEMOCRATIC RESULTS.

The democracy of the country s(says the FroVi-
dence Post may well be pardoned for some exultar
ton Mt the results of the late elections In the several
States. After great triumph party is usually dis
posed rest awhile in order to gain strength before
another effort; but in this instance democracy has
made no pause; still more, it appears to have gained
new strength from its struggles in November. There
has not been one election held since November last
in which the democrats have not increased their vote
The fact is worthy of record and remembrance, and
every friend of liberal principles will do well to
mark it. and contrast with the foolish statements of
wing papers as to the unpopularity of the admins
tration as whole, and the ncompetency or misman-
agement of this or that particular member of it. The
voice of the people may be wrong at times, but its
''sober second thought is almost invariably right
and efficient. All the States where elections have
been held come up with more or less unanimity in
support of the administration, and its broad Ameri
can policy. Of the four States alone that supported
Scott the wings cannot really claim one! The only
cause for regret that we find is that too strong
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. On Thursday the difficult
ty relative to the resignation of Dr. L. Sliman Ives
late Bishop of North Carolina, finally settled by
the adoption of the Canon, designed to meet the
igencies of the case, and framed by the House of
Bishops. Some trifing amendments were intro
duced but they rather of character to render
the general provisions of the Canon more stringent
and comprehensive than to alter the spirit of the ORR
ginal. The course pursued by the Diocese of North
Carolina in declaring the Bishoprc vacant after the
receipt of Dr. Ives letter of resignation and proceed
ing to the election of successor, ratifed-the
conservation of the Bishop elect determined on and
the doctrines established that the abandoning of the
communion of the Church by any Bishop, Priest or
Deacon, amounts de Jacto to deposition.
The N. Y. Express says the Bishop elect of North
Carolina, Rev. T. Atkinson, will be consecrated in
Trinity Church this week, in ore imposing man
than before fell to the lot of an American
Bishop. No less than twenty-eight American Bish-
ops, together with Rt. Rev. DIR. Spencer, ex-Bishop
of Madras Rt. Rev. DR.. Medley, Bishop of Frederic
ton N. B. and Ri. Rev. DIR. Boone, American Mis-
sionary Bishop to China will witness and participate
in the solemn ceremony. The conservation of Rev.
DR.. Davis, Bishop elect of South Carolina will be
conducted at the same time.
