State and County Faixs.

We are in receipt of letter from Henry A. Dyer, Esq, Secretary of the State Agricultural Society in which he most earnestly urges upon manuf.ctur- CTS the importance of sending forward their mer- chandize. Railroad Companies throughout the State. with commendable beralty offer totranspost all articles free of charge to and from New Haven, and secure and commodious buildings will be pro- vided with every convenience and facility for a proper display of the wares offered We trust our manufacturers will wake up to the importance of at tending to this matter. Nothing so promotive of industry good feeling and inventive rivalry us these yearly gatherings thus have an opportunity of examining articles which suggest improvements and new thoughts. and the little excitement which the crowd and enthusiasm creates, is stimulus to re- newed perseverance and industry. And this brings to our mind the approaching fair of County. We trust this exhibition will exceed anything of the character We have ever known, and that our farmers will make every exertion in their power to bring forward their stock. Iitchirad County, we believe. can equal, if not exceed, any other portion of the State in point of fine stock The labor of our Hurl- but Battcil Lyman and Andrews, and many others have fallen upon good soil; ad trust samples of kline eqaal to any of the imported will be here on that day. There must be in the county large num- beroftwo andthree years old colts; Messrs Hopson Battells horses arc well represented by their stock all the state and finer colts be exhibited There must also Dc large number of dnszsrsssa1 young cattle and hncx: lot assce them all, cseu to She shanghnis.

THE REconD or TRluxrn !-CoSsoLArroN FOR THE SurFERING.-There is no little conso- lation in the thought that, however the impos- ter may flourish for a season, he cannot long continue to deceive mankind. How many men contrive to acquire brief and flaslyy rcputa- tion, and then sink into disrepute and oblivion This is especially true of the rretendcrs to medical skill, who in an age when diseases a. bound, seek to inveigle themselves into the confidence of the public, and to impose upon it with their noxious nostrums. We confess that years ago. when we first heard of the universal celebrity of Profssor HOLLOWAY, we distrus:ed his lofty claims, aud arrogated to ourselves superiority of discernmcnt which would not al- low him to entrap our Judgement. Most hear tily do we beg his pardon for the unjust impu- tation. A careful study of his system convinced us that we were indeed mistaken, and that the world, to do him justice, should immediately, as 1t undoubtedly will hereafter, rank him fore most among her bedefactors. He has solved the mystery of human diseases, and proved that asi medical treatment from the time of HUNTER, has been based urou false principles |JENNER did not effect . greater revolution in the method of dealing with tho smallpox, than Dr. HOLLOWAY has done in the ordinary medi- cal routine of the present day.
 The human blood is uot mere fnid, cours- ing through the veins and arteries, and parta- king of the mere qualities of other auids. It is.-startling as the statement may seem ALIVE. It is, in plain words, !" the life of man. All physiological diseases, such as in- digestion, derauged kidueys, liver, heart, lungs stomach, an impure secretions in the body. and large majority Of epidemic and endemic diseases have thelEprjgin, or, tt least their cx citing cause in the impare state of the blood. Cleanse that and keep it cleansd, and nc sick ness can pfostratc, or evea assail the system. This splendid discovery has given lastre to Professor HoLLowAY's name, traascendings the renown of ITS and statesmen We do not woudcf great fame he has acqaifed in Eurcpe Africa and Australia.

G@The following remarks from the Baton
Rouge Advocate, will answer for this communi-
ty, as well as that. The affair alluded to, was
considerable of a "sell" and no mistake:
SoIL-Some thousand of our citizens, of
every denomination. sex and color, might have
been bought up at half price last evening after
they had taken a look at Washburn's Indians.
They ali went away looking indefinable, as
though they had played a practical joke upon
themselves in attending SO unmitigated and
ir~redeemable a humbug as the Indian Amphi-
theatre. We have no recollection of ever hav-
ing seen so much stupidity as the proprietor
Of this has succeeded in combining together
1t perneated through the whole affair, begins
ming at the bottom; from the vulgar fellow who
personated the chief clown all the way up to
the dullest and stalest aboriginee of the lot.
"Alazuma, the Gentle Fawn," couldn't conn
out last night. Many anticipated her persona
fication of Pocahontas in the salvation Of Capt.
Smith with delight. She was excusable for
disappointing the public on this occasion. 1t
was not her fault. The fact is, "the Gentle
Fawn" was engaged all day in giving birth to
an heir to her fathers dnminions, the renowned
and terrible "Camucka," head Chiefo of the Sacs
and Foxes, and we are sure every one freely
forgives her for not appearing. The tumbling
by a portion of the company was good; but
nothing save this was tolerable-if we except
the half comieal look of the crowd, as It
emerged from the canvas, with the word "sold'
sticking out on every feature.

AeauIttal Of W. G. KeudaIl.

The trial of this gentleman upon the charge
of robbing the Postofice, which bad been pro-
crossing for some time in New Orleans, re-
suited a few days since in a verdict Of acquit-
tai. The city papers that we have seen say
that when the verdict was announced, it seems
cd to create considerable pleasure among the
large audience in the court room. We are glad
Of livery glad Of it-gIad in the first place,
that the innocence Of q fellow citizen has been
~triumphantly established amidst the poisoned
atmosphere of a highly prejediced community
and glad in the second place that a vitupera-
tive press which gloated over the anticipated
delight of his condemnation, have been sadly
disappointed.

Nicaragua

There has been an arrival at New Orleans
from Nicaragua. The substance of the news
is, that the Costa Ricans have evacuated that
territory, leaving the impression that WALKER
is in no immediate danger.
Schlessinger had not been shot, but WALKER
advised him to leave the country, else his men
would murder him.
A brig with ammunition for WALKER had
arrived from the States, but H. NJ. ship Fury
dice would not allow her to land her Cargo

Where is the steam frigate, which PIERCE is
reported to have despatched to San Juan g.
Perhaps he repented the act Gas he has done all
previous proclamation of any WORTHY and order
ed her to some other destination.
Is il not a shame that an English frigate,
within two or three days sail from our coast,
will be allowed to blockade a part for the ex-
pressed purpose Of oyerhauling American YES
sells, and to help the Costa Ricans in their
contest with WALKER7 Where is the voice of
the American people, that it does not speak in
thunder tones 10 the tautomaton in the White
House. Our government for the last four years,
has been a government Of representations and
errors-of eowardly hesitations and ignoble
baekings out! For the sake of our eouutry's
honor, let US put a man in the White House
Of mature something less unimpressable than
the granite rocks Of New Hampshire!

Nicaragua
To JOHN HARDY, ESQ

From a letter of an intelligent correspondent
recently Of this city, now in the service of the
Nicaragua Republic, we extract the following
for the information Of those who contemplate
emigrating 10 that region:
"Of the country's adaptation to cultivation,
| can say to those who desire to emigrate for
the purpose of settling aud pursuing agriculture,
that it is the best field in the world. The land
is for the most part unsettled, but of the most
fertile character. A great portion of it is highly
timbered, aud requires labor to clear, but when
1T is rendered fit for cultivation, it is unsurpassed
in fertility and productiyeness, growing four
crops ofcorn each season, three crops of sugar
in two years, the cane grows to Is or Is feet
in height, and yields about three times the AZ
mount produced TO Louisiana soil
In a postscript from Castillo, April 20, after
mentioning the battle at Rivas, he says:
"Reinforcements amounting to about 300
leave this place this evening. A strong garri.
son will be left here, though an attack is not
in the least anticipated-in fact the enemy
never attack, they invariably await a charge,
and stand fast until they begin to fall thick
when a retreat is ordered. But necessity CONS
pels me TO stop writing. Every one is full of
enthusiasm. ! now hear the inspiring tune by
our band, "go where glory awaits thee" Minis
gled with the shouts of 400 men in arms, and
eager for the fray. / I'M of with the crowd
The writer represents his Tennessee COM
panions, who left this city some weeks ago, as
in fine health and spirits-not a case of sick-
ness having occurred among them. In fact,
he says there is no sickness in the county,

Fatal Encounter Between Editors.

A dispatch in the Euening Picayuue of
Monday last, gives the distressing intelligence
Of the death Of the editor Of the Chronicle, at
Bayou Sara:
Bayou Sara. May 26.-Messrs. Robertson.
OF the Chronicle newspaper of this place, and
j. X. Marks, of the Ledger, got into an alters
cation, and subsequently into an encounter.
yesterday, which resulted in the death of the
former. Three or four shots were fired, from
enc OF which Mr. Marks received a slight wound,
and from another of which Mr.. Robertson fell
MORALLY wounded. The former was wounded
in the left side, bnt not dangerously hurt. The
latter was shot through the head, and died an
hour afterwards.
After the Iamentable affair MIR. Marks gave
himself up to the Sheriff.
The quarrel between them had its origin in
. personal article against AIr. Marks, which ap-
peared in Mr.. Robertson's paper.
In the P~icayune Of Tuesday we find the ad.
diional particulars
The Fdial Afair al BAYOU Sard-We
learn from the officers Of the Flying Cloud the
following particulars respecting the encounter
ut Bayou Sara, between Messrs. Robertson
and Marks, reported in our Geographic intelli-
gence yesterday.
lttook place inside Of the post office on Sun
day morning, between Mr. Robertson, editor
Of the Chronicle, and two brothers, J. r.
Marks, editor Of the Bayou Sara Ledger, and
Leon D. Marks, lawyer Of Shreveport. Ro-
bertson was killed, the brothers shooting him
several times. ]. r, Marks was slightly
wounded in the head by a pistol ball fired by
Robertson.
]. r. Marks, who gave himself up TO the
proper authorities, is now in jail; the other bro.
tber made his escape.
Considerable excitement prevailed in Bayou
Sara mp to The time the Flying Cloud left.
II is high time that public sentiment should
put down with scorn those editors who indulge
IN personalities in their political discussions, O.
who make personal illusions. Here are two
gentlemen, both valuable members of society,
drawn into difficulty through personal relec-
siona in their respective journals ; and mark
the consequences one sleeps in tho cold
grave, while the other is confined to the walls
Of ths.common jail, to await The demands Of

Dismissal of Champion and COnsuls.
From the Picayune Of Thursday
WASHINGTON, May 28.--Mr. Champion, the
British Minister here, has just been notified that
the Government of the United States viii hold
no further official intercourse with him; and the
exequaters of Mr. Barclay, the British Consul
at New York, MI. Matthews. the British Consul
at Philadelphia, and Mr. Rowecroft, the British
Consul at Cincinnati, have also just been with.
drawn. 1t can scarcely be necessary to add
that the ground on which this has been done is
their violation of the neutrality laws of the
United States, by enlistirg troops in this coun-

Mr.. Crampton's Dismissal.
AN EXCITEMENT IN THE SENATE.

From the Plcayune, Wednesday,
WASHINGTON, Nay 27.--A despatch was sent
to our Minister in England, Mr.. Dallas, by the
steamer Asia, which left to-day, announcing
the dismissal of Mr.. Champion.
SCENE IN THE SENATE.
Some excitement took place ip the Senate
Chamber again to-day.
Mr.. Butler, who had returned, briefly de-
nouneed the speech made BY Mr.. Sumner.
Mr.. Toombs justified the assault on Mr..
Sumner.
Mr.. Wade said, that if necessary, he would
die fighting for the liberty of debate.
Mr.. Wilson denounced the assault on Mr..
Sumner as brutal and cowardly.
Mr.. Butler replied, "You are a liar"
Of course this created great feeling; but Mr..
Butler subsequently retracted the words, apo
logized to the Senate, and then the debate
closed.
CINCINNATI, May 27.-The river here con-
tinues to recede, and has fallen about 10 in
ebes during the last twenty-fo hours. The

fine at S. so per barrel. Provisions are firm,
with sales of prime bacon sides at 81 a SIC.

The city papers inform US Of a fatal duel
which took place at Pass Christian, in the early
part of this week. II occurred between Mr..
CUDDY, of the firm of CuDDY, Brown & Co,
and Mr.. R. w. EsrLrN, the latter, we believe,
being formerly from Nashville, Tenn. At the
first fire Mr.. EsTL1N received a flesh wound in
the right arm, but of which he gave no indica~
ton, and the seconds were no: aware of his
being wounded. At the second fire Mr..
CUDpY fell, and died almost instantly, being
shot through the body, and into his left hand,
on the opposite side.
