North.CarO!ina State Fair.

The North Carolina State Fair commenced near
this City on Tuesday last, and closed on Friday
We give elsewhere some account Of the proceed
ings, from the pen of cur indetat'gable Reporter
Mr.. John Speiman. Doubtless some articles have
been overlooked :; bnt we are satisfied that justice
has been done as far possible under the cIrcuu-
Stances and we know that no exhibitor has been in
tentonally overlooked.
On Thursday the assemblage present numbered
not less than FIVE thousand and think it reach
ed seven to eight thousand The Address of the
speaker for the occasion, John L. Brdgers ESQ.,, of
Edgecombe, was delivered on Thursday. 1t was
able and eminentIy practical. Mr. Bridgers is HIM
self practical and scientific farmer, and was there
fore we'll qualified to speak, as he did speak, upon
the details of farming and the best modes OF i'm
proving soils and of preserving their fertility. His
Address was listened to with interest. attention
by the large audience in attendance, and we have no
doubt that it will be productive of much good. We
trust that Mr. Brdgers will consent to publish the
Address in full, or at least the substance of it.
In some departments of the Fair the exhibition
was not so full as former occasions, but in others
it was all that could have been desired. The stock
of cattle and the horses excellcd those Of all rmer
exhibitions and Farmers Hall was well filed with
the varied productions of the earth. In word,
the Fair succesJuNwas fully up, in nearly all
respects, TO the most sangnne expectations.
The premiums were announced on Thursday. We
will give list of them as it can be obtain
ed and in our next may notice articles which
We have neither space time to refer to to-day.
In order to furnish full account of the Fair, VIC
have kept paper open somewhat beyond the
usual time of its publication.

attended by two unseen angels. commits

hand the other on his left These are
the guardian genii of his life, the repres-

they bear their commission to the gates of
Paradise, there to be recorded in the
great registry kept for all living. When
the man commits sin, either of thought.
word or action, Justice records it in his
book and Mercy weeps, and, with sorrow
ful look, urges him to repentance. If he
repents, before the close of the day, the
charge is erased, and Mercy, with tears
Of joy, puts it down to his credit, together
with the good that he does. II he does
not repent, the charge remains, and when
he retires to rest, these guardian angels
take their fight, and present their com
missions, sealed at Heavens gate. to
await the final judgment. This picture
whether literally true or not, is at least
metaphorically SO, and if all men would
keep it constantly before their minds, that
they are thus attended, by heaven-com
missioned messengers, they would be
more circumspect in their lives, and less
inclined to give lax reins to their appe-
tites and passions. How beautiful then
the thought, that, while Justice is holding
her scales with unscrupulous exactitude,
Mercy is ever pleading and interceding
in our behalf!
