Mr.. EDIToR There has been nothing of
particular interest Transporting in our place since
| last wrote, but as one has not much to attend |
to this dull, warm weather, feel little in the
humor of scribbling.
The cholera has visited us and made victims
of some half dozen persons-all colored-three
of which have died. There is some bilious and
intermittent fever about the country, but not 80
much as there commonly is at this season of
the year. That is owing to the dry summer
there being no decaying vegetable matter to
engender sickness.
How shocking a sight it is to see men that
are blessed with talents of high order abuse
themselves by using intoxicating drinks. One
very often sees in their daily intercourse with
the world, men who promise to be leaders In
their separate spheres; but, alas their ener-
ges and superior endowments are blghted ere
they are developed. And to what remedy must
we apply, to rescue these unfortunate beings!
The only one il Prohibition, and Prohibition
alone can accomplish it. You may reform them
for time, by suasion, but when temptation Is
in their way, it is almost impossible for them tC
withstand the storm of shining decanters anC
beautiful tumblers, placed, in gorgeous array
before them.
Mr.. David Simpler, ST., has sold his farm
situated near this place, to Mr.. John w. Wal
ker, for six thousand dollars. 1t contains abou
one hundred acres; for it's location, it is one o
the best farms in the neighborhood.

Pennsylvania Agricultural Fair,
PHLApELpHIA, Sept. 30, 1854.


Mr.. EDIToR:-I presume that you and the
most of your readers know that the great Agri-
cultural State Fair came off, in this city, on
Tuesday, "Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, OF
the present week. Taking that much for
granted, will endeayor to proceed to give you
and them some of the particulars connected
with the gigantic exhibition.

stripes down their legs, and large lunches o.
hair about their mouths, in that respect resem.

ted an intense interest. | Witnessed son.e OF
the most splendid moving horses | had ever be-
fore seen. The fastest ones timed myself
and the result was as follows, vz:-2.5O, $40,
2.36, $50 and 2.2S. One horse was driven
to sulky without any harness except saddle
to hold up the shafts, and bits in his mouth, with
reins, by which the vehicle was drawn. Seve-
raj accidents happened in the ring, without, how
ever, doing any serious damage. At one time
an OK was harnessed up to sulky and driven
round the course, and he proved himself to be
not among the slowest goers on the turf The
racing seemed to be the centre of attr. ct,on to
the ladies as well as to the gentlemen.
1t would be an endless task for me to under
| take to describe the display in the several de-
partrents OF agriculture, horticultural and
mechanical skill. The Agricultural features
Of the display were especially creditable. The
noble collection of oxen, the fine specimens of
Durham, Short-horn, Deyon and Alderney Cat
tie, the South-down and Cotswolo Sheep, the
curious and remarkable Cachemere Goats, the
superior breeds of Hogs, the blooded Horses,
garded as among the prominent OBJECTS To
be briet, have heard it remarked that this Fair
vas not whit inferior to the Crystal Palace
exhibition.
! The outside scenes of the FAIR were among
the most amusing. There were IA II sorts of ex.
hibitions on the ground, Immediately batweer

too, on the signs, and as given by the orators a

Americans must Rule the Land.
by W. L.. GORDON
Air-E plurlbus Unum.
Proud Flag of Columbia! Emblem Of light,
To nations far over the sea;
The morning beams fall on that banner so bright,
OF America, happy and free;
As it floats Ger each homestead and loved spot
of ground,
Our people will join heart and hand; :
Their motto will be, as it echoes around,
awe must and We will rule the land"
The oppressed of all nations may here find q
home,
While the Stars and the Stripes are unfurled,
With hearts full of gladness, rejoicing may
come,
FROM the tyrants that rule the old world
Bat let them rene nbsr, approaching this shore,
While thanksgiyings rise from each band,
Tie sons of those brave men who gained it be-
Americans, must rule the land.
From the far foreign shores, where the tyrants
now sway,
Kings and prclates have marked our fair soil,
A ri their hatred 10 truth would destroy in day
What has cost 80 much suffering and toll
Great Washiugton's precept, our motto shall be,
70
lscrbed on the banner that floats DER the free,
AZ proudly it waves in the air.
The blood Of our sires oft that banner has stain
ed,
Which now floats DER the land and the sea
And the blessings of liberty which they have
gained
Are transmitted untrammeled and free.
Then veil rally around the dear flag Of our
home,
With hearts that are loving and true,
From the morning of youth till lfe's evenn!
shall come,
May We gaze ON the A." White, Red and Blue
Sons of Amer do not forget
The bloodshcd your country has cost;
And the star of prosperity never shall set,
Nor the boon OF your freedom be lost.
From the tomb of Mount Vernon the warning
yet comes,
my cCuntrymen, Join heart and hand;
II the blessings of liberty rest on your homes,
Americans must rule the land"

How many the dead in thy sepulchre sleep?
