ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FAIR.

Attention is directed to the advertisement in to-
davis paper of Mr.. Branch, the energetic President
of the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, in relation to the
transportation of visitors and freghts to the ap-
preaching State Fair.
The Fair grounds near this place are being con-
sderably improved, with a view to the comfort and
accommodation of the large number expected to be
present on the 18th and 18th of next month. The
buildings have been enlarged, the grounds have been
levelled somewhat and sewed down with grass and
indeed every arrangement which may be regarded
as desirable and justified by the funds on hand, will
be made by the Committee.
meeting was held in this place on Tuesday
evening to make arrangements for accommodating
visitors. Committees were appointed for the vari-
Gus Wards to ascertain the number of visitors which
each public house and family can provide for. We
learn that one Committeeman from the Middle Ward
has already received pledge of accommodations for
some seven hundred persons.
The people ofRaleigh and vicinity will be pleased
to see as many as can attend. No one, feel sure
will have occasion to regret having been present at
the NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR FOR 1854.

THAT erich IRISH BRoGuE." The Bradford
penn Gazette has the following capital hit at the
Wing leaders in that State, who are using the Know
Nothing influence to advance their selfish schemes.
What is it that some of the Wing leaders will not
do in the hope of reGaining power and place? The
Gazette says:
1.-TWO years ago General Scott and the Wing lea
ders travelled the entire country pleading for foreign
Catholic votes, and denouncing Gen. Pierce and the
democratic party as being their enemies Every wing
paper in Pennsylvania took the same course. Gen.
Scott loved the rich Irish brogue and sweet German
accent, and his toadies swallowed the declaration
with thrilling satisfaction. SO anxious were the
Wings in Bedford to exhibit their love for foreign
Catholics, that they determined to appoint German
Catholic postmaster, in the person of Mr.. Andris
Sanpp, and accordingly he received his commission
from a wing Postmaster General, and took charge of
the office before Judge Campbell came into power.
Now the very same know nothings who appointed
Mr. Saupp ask that the democratic party be visited
with destruction because they won't turn him out!
The only bid ever made in this country for foreign
Catholic votes made by the wing party, under
the lead of Gen. Scott, and now the same party de-
mand that every foreigner in the nation shall be
branded with mark of infamy, and Judge Pollock,
their candidate for governor, has taken oath to
carry out their views if elected"

A great row with these men at Rappahannock,

the arrest of of their number for stealing col
ored boy from gentleman at Madison G. H. the
baggage of the boy being found the showman's
wagon.
The fight commenced in streets, and was pretty
general. Sticks clubs and all sorts of weapons
used, and magistrate named Braxton Eastman,
was knocked down several times, his head cut, and
several of his teeth knocked out.
Many of the citizens of Tappahannock barely es-
capped with their lives in the general melee that EN-
sued
The militia finally ordered out, arms placed
in their hands, and orders given to clear the streets.
This brought the rioters to their senses, and they
skulked on the first appearance of musket. Some
chased into the mountains some into the kitch-

Several of the scamps have been arrested, and it
is hoped the people of Rappahannock will mete out
to them the extreme penalty due to their crimes.

B~ The Wilmington Journal makes the follow

EWT The Wilmington Journal makes the follow
ing feeling and truthful remarks the subject of
high prices and the costliness of printing:
Gwen newspapers have reached point of cheap
ness from which they forced to recsde. We can
assure His Respectableness the Public that printing
has got to be quite costly institution" Wewould
beg leave to readers in the country, and
in the town. too that expenses have risen faster
than the price of turpentine while the rates of ad
vertising and subscription remain, without change.
The margin is too to admit of any reduction.
Now, we don't like to make complaints of any sort,
and we don't see that we have any particular right
to do so, but at the same time, would suggest
the necessity of asking little gratuitous service
from the press as possible. A great many people,
we know never think of the amount of this sort of
service which is done, and from not fully under
standing the state of the case apt to think hard
of publishers for charging for the insertion of mat
tiers which, perhaps, may seem of great impo lance
to TIE persons wishing snch insertion, and yet, in
advertising matter. With paper and materials of
every kind, well labor, at their present rates.
it behooves publishers to make every department of
their business pay. The profits from subscription
list are altogether too much cut down to admit OF
any looseness in other matters"
Editors are called upon to publish many things
gratis for which they ought in justice to themselves
and the profession, to charge; but custom has for
hidden them to do so. Like the Journal, do not
like to make complaints and we especially averse
as our readers will bear witness, to dunning SUBJ
scribers. All we ask is regular and prompt pay
ments, and payments in accordance with our terms

- The mystery is at last partially cleared up
for it is now certain that we have in Raleigh regu-
larly organized band of Know Nothings They num-
Der, it is said, some two three hundred and hold
their meetings on the third floor of the large brick
building occupied by Mr.. B. B. Smith. Who they
are is a very different question. We could guess
who some of them are, but then we do not knO~ );
and thus far it seems, il is not permitted them to
tell.
We saw, on Wednesday, on the pavement near
the building referred to- parcel of benches, said to
have been made for the Know Nothngs They look
hard enough to be stools of repentance.
We presume the first undisguised movement of
this body will be in our City elections in January
next; and they doubt hope to be in full opera
ton for political purposes by the campaign of 1856.
But what is to be gained here, in North Carolina,
from such organization seeing that there not
in the State, out of over@five hundred thousand
tive born citizens than three thousand of for
eign birthP Are the public liberties threatened by
these three thousand out of tfUe hundred Mousand?
