THE STATE FAIR.
THIRD DAY.

"WEDNESDAY, Aug. 25th, 1858.
The number of arrivals increased yester-
day, very materially. Probably 1000 peo
pie arrived in the city, from various parts of
the State, during the last twenty four hours
The city presented lively appearance up to
o'clock this morning. The counties Of
! Butte. Nevada and Sacramento are most fully
represented, but many are present from all
parts Of the State. TINS far, we believe
there has been but little complaint of a want
of accommodations, although the principal
hotels turn away scores of families every day.
Our citizens, with praiseworthy hospitality,
have opened their doors, and there are no
fears but every visitor will be comfortably
accommodated.
From 10 o'clock until noon of yesterday,
the trial of Fire Engines drew together an
Immense mass of people, on E street. A re.
port of the playing will be found elsewhere
in this mornings issue. The fremen from
abroad were received on Tuesday evening
at late hour. by the Marysville boys, and
the greatest good humor prevailed.
The cattle ground was the center Of at
traction yesterday. Great numbers visited
the place to witness the Flowing Match. and
the Hare Chase The latter was no throw
off" and afforded rare sport.
The Fair Pavilion was crowded during the
day with new comers. The Regulator, man
ufactured at Oroville, is an elegant work of
mechanical art, and attracts much attention.
Mr.. II. O. Filkins, sole agent for California
exhibits a novel style of light in the shape
of the Patent Gas Generator" 1t is porta-
ble, and looks like an ordinary lamp. Itmay
be seen, burning, every night at the Pavilion
The Billiard Tables exhibited by Mr.
Hughes, Phelan's California Agent, are high.
ly finished, and are much admired
In Vances Photographic collection is a
fine likeness of John Currey, the next Su-
preme Judge of the State 1t is the finest
specimen we have seen in California
From Henshaw's Garden, Butte county,
are fine specimens of Peaches and Apples.
One pippin specimen is exceedingly large
and fine. In the Vegetable department, we
notice the first real Carolina Sweet Potatoes
e have seen in the State
There, too, may be seen California grown
Peanuts, with the natural tops still upon the
roots They will be something new to most
of the Fair visitors.
Squashes are on exhibition of marvellous
size; somo of them measuring, we should
judge, from two and half feet t. three feet
in diameter.
Stalks of Corn, more than twenty feet in
hight are also to be seen.
The visitors all seem delighted, and tn,
Society may well feel satisfied with theil
entire success.
The Annual Address. last evening by the
! Hon. S. B. Bell Of Alameda, was listened t.
by crowded and select assemblage. 1t was
one of the finest efforts ever made by thc
eloquent Senator. and was received with
much applause. We furnish it entire, thi;
morning to the exclusion of much politca
and local matter, believing that those of ouI
readers who were not present will peruse il
| with interest.

We, the undersigned, do certify that we
were present and heard the remarks of W
Ii. Parks, at the Buttes on Saturday. Aur
2lst. Mr.. Goodwin had spoken of his efforts
IN regard to the Marysvile and San Francisco
Railroad, and of its advantages to Sutter
county In the course of his remarks, Mr.
Parks, said the road instead of being an ad
vantage, would be a direct injury to the peo.
pie OF outter county, as he would proceed to
show. lie said that the grain growers be
low could raise much more grain to the acre
than we could here, and that for about one
fourth of a cent per bushel they would send
in to our markets their wheat and barley
and break down the markets SO that we couId
get nothing for our grain. He said the neo.
pie below could raise grain cheaper than we
could, and that we could not compete with
them We have learned that Mr.. Parks de-
MES making any such remarks and we there
fore make this statement,

short the consideration of the subject, we as.

statement is utterly untrue. Who will Join

from a responsible source that he did say it.
and that it will be made SO to appear.
Since writing the above, we have received

COUNTY CONVENTION.

We publish this week the call for the Re-
publican County Convention, and the list of
Committees of Vigilance, whose duty it is to
call the primary meetings But few weeks
intervene before Ticket is to be selected to
be presented for the support of the Republican
party Of the County, and although the offices
to be filled are neither numerous nor import
ant, already quite number of candidates have
been announced, and as the busy season."
approaches its end, there will be the usual
quantum of visiting and palavering.
That there should be many candidates for
the Offices in the gift Of the people of this Coun-
ty is matter of no wonderment. A nomina-
ton by the Republican County Convention is
equivalent to an election, unless extraordinary
circumstances should occur, of which there is
not the remotest probability. In fact it is not
probable that the nominees of that Convention
will have any competitors. From this fact,
there will be- of course more strenuous eXer
tionS made to obtain the nominations. And
it is from the knowledge of this fact, also, that
we desire to urge upon the Republicans OF the
| County the great necessity of attending the
Delegate meetings The nominations are vir
tualy made at those meetings And as there
is to be no canvassing of the character and
qualifications Of candidates after the County
| Convention, there should be the more jealous
scrutiny Of the candidates asking nomination
at the hands of that Convention. This can
only be had by general interest on the part
of the Republican voters as to the claims and
character of the candidates, and by attendance
at the primary meetings. We trust every
Republican who has at heart the interests Of
his party-who would preserve his party from
contamination and from cques-will feel the
Importance OF attending to this responsible
duty.

formerly of Hamilton county, Ohio, residing
about mile northwest of Mendoza, on wha t
is known as the Waldo Farm, lost an interest
ing little boy, between four and five years. Of
age, in most shocking manner. The horses
ran away with a moving machine, and the
child fell under their feet. The mower took
him, cutting off both legs, one!arm at the wrist,
gashing his hip, and across his bowels, so that
when the horses were checked and his father
reached him he seemed lifelesS.
