The Ohio State Fair commenced to-day, at the
Ancient Works, near this city, and up to this time
about sixteen hundred entries have been made Of
groups and single articles, and nearly two thousand
badges Of membership have been sold.
The exhibition Of stock is very large and exceed
ingly hne-the animals showing none Of the bad
effects expected from the drouth. The exhibition OF
short horned cattle predominstes largely over other
descriptions. This part Of the exhibition is said to
be finer than at any previous Fair in this State. Many
of the horses are very handsome, and some of them
quite fast.
A large display Of sheep exhibits many fne- woolsd
and profitable varieties
One man, Mr. II. &. Mason Of Hebron, exhibits a
selection from flock Of about four thousand of i'm
ported stock.
The swine, poultry, &C., are numerous and Of ex-
celeDt quality. Their stalls and peps extend for
more than mile aud quarter encircng the grouLds
and they nearly all filed.
The mechanical department, under the superin-
tendence Of Dir. james Z. Holmes who held the sane
Office at the Crystal Palace, is very full and inter-
esting.
An exhibition of steam power is given By q high
pressure engine manufactured by Wilcox 81 Ggynne
Of Urbsna. The boiler is Of Irvings patent, and
is much admired.
Among the farming implements are some good
plows, from the shop OF Hall 81 Spear, Pittsburgh,
Pa, harvester, and double corn. planter, by Pat
tee Of Peoria III, variety Of cutters, hsryesers!
draining. tlls, &c.
The floral and horticultural department Is fat filing
up, and promises to be excellent even for Ohio.
The various Committees Will commence their exam
nations tomorrow, when We hope TO report the prem
iums, some OF which range as high az $50.
None but members and their families are admitted
until 1hursday but the attendance to-day has been
very large.
The grounds themselves, from their beauty and
mysterious antiquity attract many from distance.
New-York is well represented.

NEW ARMY DRILL.
Correspondence Of The N. Y. fribuns

Correspondence OF The ". T. fribune
WEST PoISr, Monday Oct. l6, 1854.
For several weeks a Military Board, composed Of
Colonies and Captains has been engaged in produc-
ing new drill for the Infantry and especially for the
Light Infantry. Az soon as it shall be mastered by
the Cadets who have been employed upon it, ii will
be introduced into the Army. The drill is Identical
with the one which originated in France many years
ago under the name of Chassears de ViHceaHes orig
inaly Chasseurs fOrleaas which the Duke dor
leans and his chosen tacticans invented and intro
duced. Its superiority 70 anything known or used
has been admitted by all the military powers of Eu
rope and earned for ii wide celebrity II is impos-
sible to give here any description of this drill But il
seems TO me that as have militia fond Of drilling
and maneuyering and representing the real military
force of the country, nothing could be more in har
mony with its organization than this new method Ii
simplifes and makes easy the forming OF lines and
columns; indeed, it renders all military movements
among pstcons, companies and battalons as SIMPLE
as could be desired, and the charging and firing of
arms is mede precise and regular. Besides, Il re-
qures little tine to drill novice into it, And, being
adapted to the Light Infantry it must for the
militia, who in case Of need may be used the light
portion of al army for offensive and defensive pur-
poses Any intelligent officer of militia company
isay easily master this drill in fortnight and,
In turn instruct those in his command.

While we rejoice at the escape of Capt. Luce,
and add our mite Of praise to the wealth OF sp-
provsl which his splendid courage has inspired,
we cannot forget the fact that the vessel under
bis command was wrecked first of sill, through
negligence in giving proper signals to warn aP-
preaching vessels. In his published statement he
Acknowledges that the morning was foggy, "there
"beipg at intervals of few minutes a rery
dense fog" Whether it was fOggy ten minutes
or for ten hours at time should have made no
difference to commander fully prudent and cir
cumspect. His efficient signals and alarms
should have been ready for short as well as for
long and very dense fog;" and he should
have known that, in the rapid navigation of the
present day during very dense though short
fog vessels not visible before it came on may be
brought close together. We cannot in our souls
find any radical cause for this disaster but the
neglected the Captain. Panied we are to say it;
but justice and humanity demand that false
issue should not be raised or the exultatiOn Of
learning that brave sailor aad commander is not
lost, as was supposed, should blind US to the
necessity Of rendering true, though harsh
verdict,

The Express is simply mistaken in asserting that
we had charged its editors with making no efforts
to reform our Primary Elections until now. We
faid nothing of the sort and consequently did not
need to copy its defense against charge we never
made. What we did charge was quite different
namely, that The Express had quietly assumed that
the results of these Primary Elections were the

won nominations thereby; but now that one Of
them has been beaten, they denOunee and execrate
these Primaries as UNANIMOUSLY corrupt and fraudu-

very old one. This point being settled, we take

WrsrcHEsrER CousTY The adjourned Temperance
Convention Of the Lower Assembly District convened
Yesterday at the Methods, Church in Mount Vernon
very full representation Of the towns was in attend
anee A full and free Interchange OF sentiment WAS
had. In the early part Of Which Mr.. Isaac j. OLIVER
who had been nominated bys seeding minority OF
the Wing Convention, peremptorly withdre" ron
the canvass, and declared bis discrimination TO sap
port Mr.. J. c. Ferguson. Remarks IN kindred
spirit were msde by some dozen or more delegates
most of whom had originally supported Dir. ohVer'
a, the close Of which JoHs c. FsRsUsos OF Pleasant
vile, who was last week nominated by the
Whig Convention, was adopted as the Name
Law candidate, without one dissenting voice
Mr. Oliver moving that the nomination Do
made unanimous, which was done. Misappre-
henson OF Mr.. Fergusons views and injadieous IN
ermeddlins by persons out Of the district appear to
have been the causes Of the momentsry heart
burning, now happily sIayed Mr.. Oliver had
prepared letter to the Convention, declining to De
candidate which we obtained for publication bur
have mislaid Mr. O. e esrnes, and generous Efforts
to remove oil opposition to Mr. Ferguson and secure
jealous and successful rally in his behalf will not
be forgotten by the Wings and Temperance men OF
the District, now happily united aud moving on TO
victory.
The rival candidates for Assembly are LANCASTER
UxpERHrLL Hard, and - WATERBURY, " Know
Nothing" The Softs have held no Convention,
made no nominations, but will probably support the
" Know. Nothing" candidate Last year, the Wings
and Maine Law meg barely failed by handful oil
votes to eject James S. See, with but one candidate
running against him; now that they have two oppo'
nents both anti Maine Law, they ought TO triumph by
a large majority.
In the upper District we hear that Mr.. HuSr has
withdrawn FROM the canvass, leaving Mr. BABcocX,
the Maine Law candidate the only Wing in The field.
We truss he will be elected, as the District is de-
cidedly Wing and Maine Law.

Remarks

We are often asked by correspondents aud
friends" Can il be true that the South medtates
1.-the re6pepiDg Of the African Slave Trade 7"
We answer-The South does not; but there are
leading, active, influential men in the South who
do; and these may very probably Dragon that
section into support OF their policy. The South
did rot demand the Annex alton of Texas, nor the
enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law, nor the
Reputation Of the Missouri Compact: but the
daring few called successfully for all these
croschmerts, and the timid many scquiesced or
swelled the cry SO as not to be Knocked and hunt
ed down as AbolitiOnists. So it will be again.
Those who demand the re5peniDg of the African
Slsve-Trsde have the great advantage of logical
consistency. Their special doctrine leans upon
the general doctrine of the South, and justiies
itself thereby. For-if Slavery be the natural
snd most benefcent condition of the negro, why
should the great majority of the Race be deprived
Of its benefits If it be the judgment of Color
the descendants of Cain, why should the great
majority of the Race elude its infection If il
be best for half-civilized American Christians,
why not for the savage pagans still remaining In
Central Africa We can imagine no trsin OF
reasoning which proves Slavery good for suy,
which does not necessarily justify the reopening
Of the African Slave-Trade.
Now consider how the newly accepted dogma
