the king of Piedmont seem 70 act with the most
energetic Sigor towards them. The houses Of
the men suspected of entertaining liberal
opinions are searched, their papers taken, and
their persons submitted to a close interroga-
tory. As to the refugees in England, Belgium,
and Switzerland, orders have been given to the
police to carefully watch their movements, and
to arrest those whose conduct could give rise
to suspicion.
Kossuth has. written here, saying that war
between Turkey and Russia was unavoid.,
able The combined policy and diplomacy Of
foreign governments are unable to arrest or
postpone it. All the Hnngarians have met
are waiting for orders to leave this country for
the seat of war. Meanwhile they make the ne
cessary preparations for their departure.
- The conduct Of Brown and Marsh in the
Koszta affair is much censured in New York
by the mass Of the citizens. Many persons
look upon it as virtual abandonment of the
principles set forth by Marcy's letter; whilst on
the other hand the conduct OF Ofiey, the Ameri-
can Consul at Smyrna, is much lauded.

THE VIRGINIA STATE AGRICULTU-
RAJ FAIR.

We mentioned in our issue of Friday morn
ing the agricultural fair which was opened at
Richmond on Tuesday last and copied from
the Dispatch sketch of the proceedings Of
the first two days. Our good fortune permitted
us to visit the grounds before the exhibition
closed, and witness the enthusiasm which was
manifested by the assembled multitude.
A new era has dawned on the agricultural
interest in Virginia. The eminent success
which attended the first effort fthe State So
ciey will infuse new spirit throughout the
commonwealth. The extensive grounds de-
voted to the exhibition ware admirably ar
ranged, and the thousands in attendance ex-
hibited the most unbounded satisfaction with
the entertainment which had been provided for
them.
The railroads that have been recently con,
structed through central and toward western
Virginia enabled people from all portions of the
State to meet together and exchange congrat-
ulations on the prosperity they enjoy. Every.
thing was conducted with the utmost regu.
larity, and there was no instance of disorder OF
confusion. It was meeting of d free, edu,
Gated, and contented population.
The Agricultural Society held its meetings at
the Metropolitan Hall each evening for the
transaction of business. At one of those meet
ings proposition to petition the legislature for
aid in carrying out the objects of the associa.
ton was promptly voted down, on the ground
that no such assistance was required, or ought
to be accepted. This wise step, springing from
proper feeling of selfreliance, was followed
by voluntary subscriptions that amounted to
nearly ffty-fve thousand dollars, leaving nc
doubt that a permanent fund, amply sufficient
will be speedily subscribed by the farmers
themselves.
We have never looked on more gratifying
spectacle than that presented by the people who
assembled to witness the exhibition at Rich.
mond. 1t was q spectacle which no other land
but our own can initiate, for it was a visible
illustration of our matchless institutions. No
soldiers were there to enforce order, yet all
was harmony and good feeling, for the gather
ing was a meeting Of the real substantial peo-
pie Of a prosperous commonwealth. On Satur-
day ex-President Tyler delivered the closing
address. We were not fortunate enough to
hear it; but it was spoken Of as most eloquent,
impressive and appropriate in keeping with
the deep interest Of the occasion. After its
delivery, the multitude dispersed, stimulated
to renewed exertions and greater enterprise in
that field Of industry which furnishes the only
sure foundation for the wealth and power and

made government enterprise. There exists
4 no necessity for it. II would delay the compile
| ton of the road II would be drawn into the
arena of party strife, and around it would rage
contending factions. Long before its compile
! ton, il would either control the government,
and bring down its proud head to the dust OF
debasement, or the government would be forced
to abandon II. We wish to avoid either dilem-
ma. Individual and State enterprise, with such
incidental assistance rs Congress can constitu-
tionally give, can and viii construct this road
Such has been the accumulation of fixed capi-
tai in the country, owing to our unexamped
prosperity, that enough for the purpose can be
found ontside the chests of the sub-treas-
ury. We venture no rash declaration when
we declare our belief that individual and State
enterprise could push forward this great work
to the Pacific before the government, with all
its appliances, could carry it to the Rocky
mountains.
We are all familiar not only with the i'm
mense and unnecessary cost of government
works, but with their vexatious delays. If the
people accomplish this enterprise, new spec
tacle viii be shown to an admiring world. 1t
will be shown that all power and strength do
not belong alone to government that the peo-
pie, with their energies unfettered, can achieve
great things-that when the proper time comes
they can blast highway for themselves through
an almost boundless continent, despite even

History as yet has recorded no such act OF
moral and political significance as that. The
grandest works of past time-the triumphs OF
art and industry-temples, arches, causeways,
roads, the very pyramids themselves, all shrivel
into littleness before the grandeur of such an
achievement. And when all is accomplished,
what spectacle is presented How the blood
dances in ones veins at the thought. Canton
and New York less than ne.moon apart. Asia
and Europe both laid under contribution. San
Francisco and Washington united by one con-
tinuous iron band, while between lies the gran

n sFugitiye-slave Case.--PHuADELpHIA Nov. g.
fngitive-slave case was brought yesterday AFTER
noon before Judge Thompson. It appeared that
Edward Huddleford, Of Georgia, had brought hith-
er his slave named Shelby, and that the abolition
lists had enticed him of. Another party of aboli-
tonists, not knowing that the slave had disappear
ed, got out writ of habeas corpus, which was
served on his master, who replied that the slave
had been sick and he had brought him to the north
for his health, and that he had run of some days
since. He was, not now in his custody, and was
not desirous that he should return, being a most
Improbable servant The case was thus ended
without the agitation of the great question Of con-
stitutionality. ,.sv W.
