THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR-The period for
the Agricultural Fair is rapidly approaching.
Everybody who intends to exhibit anything,
everybody who intends to see what is exhib-
tied, and to- do anything to stimulate the
cause OF Agriculture-and especially all In
this city who intend to aid in promoting the
comfort and ease of the strangers who may
be called to this city by the occasion, should
begin to prepare. Delay wont do now, there
is not time enough for it. Unless every one
who will take part in the affair goes actively
| to work to get ready for it, there will be some
thing subtracted from the general interest of
the occasion.
The Fsrmville Journal makes strong ap-
peal to the people in that region of the State,
| to give all possible encouragement to the
Fair. We copy from it the following para
graph which will suit for all parts of the Com.

"THE SUMNER HAS GoNE.'-The N. York
| Mirror moralizes in pretty and pathetic
strain, over the departure of Summer We
confess that we cannot work ourselves up to
sympathize with the poetical sorrows of our
| contemporary. His strain touches no respon-
sive chord in our exhausted soul. If 1.-THE
summer has gone," IA point which, if summer
| means hot weather, is by no means certain
YETI we rejoice to be informed of the fact
| And we trust that its like may never be seen
again. Having burned up nearly everybody
and everything, we have only to say-Peace
to its ashes
When an evil is upon us, in all its heavi
ness, we are not disposed TO magnify it over
other evils. During the last summer, we sub
mitted to the boiling, roasting, stewing, fry
ing, steaming process, without much murmur-
ing. We endeavored to believe that there
| are hotter places in the world than Eastern
Virginia,-that our lot might have been cast
in the desert of Sahara, or in small brig on
| the African coast, chasing negro stealers. We
| sought refuge in philosophy, ice and water
melons, and managed, by these means, to i'm
agine ourselves comfortable. But now that
the summer is said to be gone, and we can
take calm review oft, we must say, In sad
| and sober earnest, that it was the most oppres
sive, despotic, and cruel season to whose sa-
wage sceptre we have ever been subjected.
1t is wrong to speak evil of the dead, but
when we think of the multitude of hot days,
who made night hideous and drove sleep from
the pillow, the dark shadows of real woe cast
upon SO many dwellings, we can only rejoice
with exceeding joy that the summer has gone,
and be excused from saying one word in its
favor.
Let others recite its praises and mourn over
its blistering sun and sweltering shade, but
for one, we bid it farewell with the most ex-
quisite satisfaction, and the ardent hope that
it may long remain "alone in its glory
1NHUMANITY AT THE NoRTH.-The n. Y.
| Tribune has long statement of the hard
ships to which passengers on the forward
| decks of the steamers between New York
and Albany are subjected 1t says that they
| are not permitted even to go on board the
vessel at the common gangway, but are
roughly ordered to go forward. They have
nothing to sleep on but the deck, and crowd,
OF emgrants, reeking with miasma, are pour
ed upon them, so that there is not room for
all even TO sit down, and the men must take
turns In standing up through the night The
| Tribune adds:
| they can sit down and lean their children against
| them on this side and that, smothering their un,-
| Volda6ie meanings so that the youngest and hest
| placed may snatch an hour two of troubled sum
| Der during some part of the weary night For the
neu,tao.e sesnesS ana distress OF many, there
even rough swning-costing perhaps fiftv dollars
lis drawn over them; but the autumn dews fall nm
intercepted upon mother and babe sire and sop: and

The last remark shows the perfect limo
ce"ee of the Tribune. of any knowledge of
the South, at which it is eternally howling.-
Inc editor says it is his deliberate Judgment
that no negro trader would permit &c, as if
he were making very bold and hazardous
proposition. Why, man, no negro-trader in
the world is such fool-even if Won will NOT
grant any mercy to the class-not one of
them is such born idiot as to exnose h;s
property in that way. His slaves are kent os
