At the late session of The Executive Com
mttee of the State Board of Agriculture, it
was determined, by close vote, to hold the
next State Fair at the city of Lafayette, in
Tippecanoe county on the llth, 18th, and
18th days of October next. A deputaton Of
gentlemen from Lafayette, and another from
the city of Madison, laid before the Execu-
tive Committee, proposals which proved the
existence of high degree of enterprise and
lherality among the citizens of ther respec-
tive places.
Lafay cite is surrounded by fine agricui-
tural region; and, by means of the Wabash
river, the Wabash and Erie Canal, and rail-
roads running north and south, the city may
be conveniently visited by citizens from all
quarters Of the State.
The list of premiums-about 81 500 in
value-to b. awarded at the Fair, will be
published in the course of few days.
Among the premiums offered are six Sill
yer Pitchers, valued at fifteen dollars each
80 Silver Cups. valued at fifteen dollars each
--75 Silver. Cups, valued at ten dollars each
80 sets of Tea Spoons, valued at five dollars
each-and large number of premiums con-
sisting of cash, Agricultural works, books.
Diplomas, &c.
The competition for Silver Pitchers will
be among the cultivators of Wheat and Corn,
and the owners of Cattle, Horses, Jacks, and
Hogs. We thin some of these Pitchers
will find an owner in Marion county.

driver, Dennis Rodgers, was thrown from his
seat and severely injured. The horses, en-
tirely free from control, and with the omnibus
filled with passengers, ran down Main street,

and down Water street, where they were
shortly after stopped.

A travelling editor o the Evansville Jour-
nal, a yery intelligent and useful paper, pub
lshed in the rapidly growing young city of
Evansville, Ind, lately passed through St

On his return to Evansville, he spread his
observations during the trip before the pub

number of which, containing over three CO.

Over one-third OF the present article is de-
voted TO St. Louis-her rise, progress, down.
fall, &C., all of which is very amusing to a
St. Louis citizen who understands and appre-
ciates the grand destiny of this Lion City Of
the West.
We have not time to dissect the article at
length, or point out half of the absurd state
ments into which the travelling editor" has
fallen, in consequen g of his ignorance of
the subject on which he writes. The gentle
mah was ev IDENTIFY confused by the immense
hum and whirl Of business at st. Louis, SO
unlike anything he ever saw or heard, or was
eucompassed by before st. Louis Ne,cs.
We really regret the time of the editor of
the News should be 50 much occupied. He
had time, however, to discuss what he calls
"one inconsistency" at some length. In
charity we suppose he had not time to make
such investigation of matters as would en-
able him to refute our positio We hope
he may sometime hereafter secure sufficient
leisure to answer what will of necessity re-
quire little time to disprove. AS for the ab-
surdity of our statements, we love st. Louis
and its people enough, to hope time will be

hilarious duties, TO Prote the absurdity.
The sole inconsistency charged upon our
article is, we said, st. Louis will and must
continue to grow, and then added at the close
of the article, that ''the depriva ion Of large
portion of the food which has sustained h. r
grt with, must make her languish and decay"
Even SO. While we believe the former, We
still think, for abundant reasons offered and
not refuted, that she must comparatively to
what her past rapid growth has been, Ian.
guish and decay. We did not mean that ST
Louis would, under any circumstances, sd.
vance backwards. Only, that while she con.
tinued to grow, she might yet anguish anC
decay in her trade and commerce. Nor in
deed, did we mean to say, st. Louis would
continue to grow eternally-but for years to
come. The Inconsistency is probably on the
side Of the editor of the Nesos, who speaking
as if il were very easy matter indeed, tC
prove the "dbsurdity'' OF our statements, i:
content to let them pass unanswered, on the
plea OF want of time, when he daily devote.
doubtless hours of tine to filling up the CO
lumns of one of the best papers in ST Loui.

jects certainly not more important to her citi
zens than the very one discussed in our ar
ticle.

We understand friend Frary, of the War;
rick Democrat, has asked Gen. Greenhouse
to dinner. "Grand, gloomy and mysterious'
This is a stroke of diplomacy in Frary. We
see what he is at. although he may think our
vigilant eye, or the duler comprehension of
the public, cannot see to the very bottom of
his hasty plate of soup and into tire utmost
intricacies Of his salt pork. Did he ever ask
pointed Brig. General in the Indiana militia!
Did he ever before insinuate to him that edl-
tors didn't altogether live on air, and they
might have something good to eat as well as
other snobs! No, never-andit is open as
day light to us. Frary wants militia ap-
pcintment under Gen. Greathouse. Ihafs
the reason he asks the Brig. General to his
salt pork, sea crackers and lively cheese
He wants to stir up his fellow citizens with
hoop pole on trainin' days. He probably as
pres to being ever a corporal. Frary is am
bilious. Let him be corporal, and he will
try to make ''little corporal of himself,
after the manner of Napoleon. His military
fire is blazing up-it has made diplomatist
of him-that dinner is a master stroke-t
was intended to touch the Brigadier's weak
est point. Some think his heart his weak
est point, and others his head, but Frary with
intutive sagacity knew it was his stomach.
Mark our word-Frary will get an appoint
ment. We hope we are not jealous-we be-
lieve we ATE not-but we do consider this a
mean advantage over other aspiring editors
the very first muster he will be shot down
with cornstalk and CHARTERED with an UNI
brella.

Of the Courier. Mr.. Clark, the river editor,
was not satisfied in simply giving the time of
the two boats. He established himself UNI

veral persons, considered seriously two dis
patches, then decided that the Eclipse had
gained the victory-just as il anybody ever
suspected for moment after his past puffs Of
that boat, he could decide against her! II the
decision were to be left in the hands Of one
person, he should at least be impartial. How

Genaemen:-We note your communication
of 2lst instant in the papers OF this morning
addressed to Us proposing to submit the time
of the late runs of the Eclipse and A. L..
Shotwell, to Il board of arbitrators, and ex-
pressing your regret at the excitement, and
the controversy which has sprung up on the
subject ofthe runs, as reported by the respec-
tive boats.
We do not bet ourselves, nor do we encour-
age 1t; we therefore cordially join with you
in expressing sentiments of regret, and UNI
hesitatingly recommend to the mutual friends
who have bet on the issue, to select board
of arbiriators as proposed by you. We do
not, however, agree with you that the Eclipse
arrived here earlier than the Shntwell. We
think the proof will be otherwise. We also
beg leave to say in explanation of the run OF
the Shotwell, that she was running alone
with the view of proving her speed and capa-
city as a matter of business reputation, be-
lIeving that she was entitled to stand in pub
lie estimation where we think and believe
she has placed herself, and therefore are en-
tirely satisfied to abide by the judgment of
the public, whatever It may be.
