Tennessee State Fair.
The Fourth Annual Fair OF. the Tennessee State
Agricultural Bureau was opened on yesterday with
an Address by Gov. johnson. The weather, though
threatening, proved favorable throughout the day,
and the exhibition conducted 70 she general
satisfaction of all present The recent improvements
made upon the Fair Grounds make it one ofthe most
attractive resorts near this city, aud We were aston
ished at the meagre attendance on yesterday.
The exhibition consisted in most part of Wool
len, Cotton and SILK Fabrics and miscellaneous ar
dcles. There were many things of rare merit, nd
We would have taken much pleasure in noticing
them more at length, but we are not allowed sufh-
cient time to do So
1t would, DO doubt, be decided Improvement over
the present manner of exhibiting msnufacured and
miscellaneous articles, to have Hall devoted entire
ly to their exhibition during the week where the
public could have chance to examine them; and the
judges decide upon their merits their leisure
Hall devoted to this purpose, properly differed
and managed would add hundred-fold to the in
terest of the occasion, and put on an end to the
confusion and dissatisfaction arising from the present
hasty manner Of conducting this portion OF the Fair
Amongst many other worthy things shown yesterday
we noticed a piece of Doe Skin Cashmere
manufactured at WolcotvilIe, Conn.,, from wool
grown by our friend Mark R. Cockril, of this
ty, which for 6neness and beauty of finish, can
scarcely be surpassed by the finest French fabrics.
Mr.. Cockrill still sustains the fame be gained 10
warmly contested field at the Worlds Fair in 1851.
