0FThe Sandusky Register has the follow
ing sensible remarks relative to the time for
holding County Fairs:
AGRICULTURAL FAIRS. Rather late in the
season to talk about them; but we have a
suggestion to make, which, to do any good
should receive attention before the varieus
County Boards make their appointments o.
the times of holding their Annual Fairs. II
is this--that the County Fairs should be al
held before the State Fairs instead of after.
yards, as is now the case. The present ord
er seems TO be iniudicious. and in our opinion
| should be reversed. The State Fair is the
event of the year, among those who take al
interest in such matters, and having the pre-
cedence in point of time, and being altogeth
| er grand affair, the attractions of the NOR
modest county exhibitions suffer in compari
son with il. If the County Societies woul
hold their annual displays before the Stat
Fair, making provision for the transfer unde
proper superintendent, o: all prize article
and samples to the latter for exhibition, tn
former would possess double the interest the
now do The State Fair would then becom
the arena for competition between counties
as well as individuals; the best specimens o
manufactured article, farm products, liv
stock, &C., from each county in the State
would be placed side by side, and ths oppor
tunity for an intelligent comparison woul
be open to all: Thus, the local pride of tn
county would be aroused and the strife 70
superiority, not only at home but abroad
would be greatly encouraged.
Such an arrangement would mpart an ad
d:tional interest to both the State and Count
Fairs. Perhaps there may be objections i
the way, of which we are not aware; bu
the suggestion is made in the belief that
is worthy of the attention of our agrcultura
| friends.

WASHINGTON, June B,

The election for Mayor Of this city has re-
suited, RS predicted in my despatch of this
morning in the success Of Mr.. Towers, the
Wing candidate. The official returns have
not yet been made public, but enough is
known to make it certain that Towers has re-.
ceived majority in five Of the seven wards,
and ihe entire majority is from four to five
hundred.
The Board are also Wing.
The election derived peculiar interest from
the fact that the Executive has openly exer-
cised its influence for Maury, the present in
1 eubent, which, it 10 reported went SO far as to
threaten clerks with removal if they did not
vote for Maury, and from the threats of promi.
hent Administration Senators and members
Of Congress that the appropriations for the
city would be denied If Mr.. Maury was not
elected.
Much excitement was manifested Through
out the day but the voting passed off quietly.
and although individual collisions have take n
place, no serious disturbance occurred. The
election Of Mr.. Towers is considered as
decided rebuke 10 the Administration and
those members of Congress who have inter-
ceded in it,

A SLAVE MURDERER IN VIRGIyrA.-The
who has been observing men and things at
the South. | was written on the Goth ult.
We extract the following account Of a her-
rid affair which occurred in Nelson county,
Va, on the 18th, two days before the letter
was written.
81 had not thought that so Eeart-rehding a
scehe from "Unce Toms Cabin" would come
under my own observation. Day before yes
terday slave, young man in the prime ot
life, was whipped to death by the overseer OF
plantation in this neghborhcod. He was
worth 1000. The oyerseer tied him in tie
barn and beat him for four hours. I am told
that he was whipped for trihing offense,
When so exhausted that he tainted the poor
fellow was washed with brine; then whipped
and washed again. This wus repeated six
times. He was tied up soon after breakfast,
and released about one o'clock and sent to
the field to work. He tainted in the field. A
shower came up, and he contrived to get into
the barn, where he died. While The over
seer was beating him lie begged him tc shoot
him; while he could speak, he kept moaning,
80, pray NASSAU His master and mistress
are not at home. There is great Indignation
in the neghborhood against the ovefseer, but
what they will do cannot say. This is not
the first Legree have heard tell about, but it
is the first genuine Legree case that has fall
len under my observation. The overseer has
not vet been arrested, and moves about as if
he had done nothing uncommon"

The fate OF Cuba is sealed. There is an
expedition on foot, having for its object her
overthrow, Of character too formidable to

about it. Men talk of it here rs an event be-

by symbolic givngs out and mysterious hints
But what amounts to something more and
better, hundred subscription books are open,
and state a fact within my own knowledge,
that nearly half million of dollars has been
subscribed in New Orleans and paid in. Any
one can see these books, witness the paying
down of cash by what may call countless
throng crowding around them, ard fork over
whatever amount he may deem proper. NUM-
tons of war, huge Cannon, fnuskets, powder,
&C., leave here almost daily for New York,
and large bodies of emigrants are pressing
forward to the Rio Graude. Up to this time
these public movements have encountered no
obstacles, nor will they in future. Men have
charge of the expedition now who are not

A friend at Ottowa despatched sure mes.

arrived.-Thereupon Brown loaded two of
Colts reyolyers, and shot gun, gave one OF
his pistols to trusly comrade; as he supposed
and started, fully armed himself, to the Col.
lector's office.
They two had not proceeded far before the
tpenty were upon them, with axes and clubs;
Capt, Browds comrade fired and fled, leaving
him alone, to battle with "the crowd" He
commenced firing, retreating meanwhile to
his boat, and "dropping his man at every
shot. This fatal precision frightened the
