had nothing better to do, informs us that
he counted no less than FIVE rcd or Grim
son petticodts yesterday, in a walk from
Grace Church to the Park. These pi-
quaint garments are not, however, as yet
worn in the manner prescribed by the
fashion authorities at the other side of
the Atlantic. The dress should be loop
ed up on the left side so as to display
the red skirt, which can be long or short,
according to the taste Of the fair woarer
or the prosentability of her ancle. This
arrangement is excellent in bad weather,
as it leaves the right hand free to lift the
skirts out Of the mud-a consideration

The Democrat says of the Fair:
"The 4th Annual Fair of the Mecklenburg Agri-
cultural Society was held on Thursday and Friday
last. There was a very large number of persons in
attendance from this and adjoining counties, as well
as from South Carolina. We were gratifed to no.
tice articles on exhibition from Lincoln Gaston
Rowan, Cabarrus, Union, Davidson, Guilford and
Caldwell counties, n. G., and from York, Chester
and Lancaster Districts, S. G..
The Fair was complete success-there being
larger number and better variety of articles ex-
hibited than on any former occasion. 1t is the
opinion of several experienced gentlemen who have
visited number of Fairs that the exhibit of cattle
and horses was equal to any ever made in this or
any other southern State.
The articles on exhibition in Floral Hall and in
other departments were numerous, and all above
dinary. We were highly gratified to see the ladies
manifesting so much interest in the exhibition.
The Executive Committee and Mr.. P. j. Lowrie,
Treasurer of the Society," and Others deserve thanks
for untirng efforts to make the occasion interesting"
The Mecklenburg Agricultural Society held
meeting in the Court House on Friday evening.
Nothing of Importance was transacted except the
adoption of Constitution The election of off
GERS and other business was postponed to meeting
to be called by the President.
Gen. Young, DIR. Fox, VIM. Johnston and DR.. j.
NJ. Davidson were appointed a committee to draft
Bylaws
The receipts of the Society during the Fair
amount to about $3.50, besides donations amounting
to some hundreds of dollars procured through the
exertions of Messrs. Thos. w. Dewey, W. F. Phifer
c. Overman and R. NJ. Oates. The Society is now
considered in highly prosperous condition, and no
exertions will be spared to make its future opera
tons agreeable and acceptable to all citizens of Yves
tern Carolina, who will join in the annual exhibi-
tiOns.
1t was ordered that the thanks of the Society be
rendered to the Charlotte Sake Horne Band for their
entertaining music at the Fair Grounds during the
exhibition We heard many strangers compliment
the band, and we sincerely hope that it's organiza
tion may be continued, it certainly is an orna-
ment to the town of Charlotte"

A Specimen of Black Republican Rule.

The following, from the New York correspondence
of the Richmond Enquirer, will give readers
some idea of the reckless disregard of justice and
right with which the Black Republicans of the State
rule New York City. And yet New York City ex-
perences tender mercies at the hands of this party
compared with what the South would be doomed to
endure under Black Republican rule The CORES
pondent says
1T is now useless to speculate. The Opposition
beyond this city, and suburbs have the whole State
Congressional and Legislative. And, although this
city is Democratic by majority of 1S 600 20 900
yet it is doomed for another season to Black Re-
publican rule, vested in an Albany junta. 1t is no.
thing more than provincial town. to be ruled taxed
and robbed by an unscrupulous domination of par
ty, put in power by the Abolition votes of the nte-
ror. They appoint commissioners of police for us.
They appoint officers for and control our Quaran-
tine system, by which the merchants and ship own
of this city robbed of about $3.50 900 per
mum. They appoint port wardens and harbor mas
tiers for us, whose united salaries amount to about
missioners for the Central Park another set of COM
missioners for hall, another set known as ex-
else commissioners. They also compel the city, af-
ter paying for the support of its free schools to
pay large sum for the support of free schools in
the country. The large sums derived by the Black
Republican officials at Quarantine and by the port
warden operations, afforded funds with which they
fought their recent political battle with the view of
perpetuating their oppression city where large
majority utterly repudiate their principles. They,
in other words rob the commerce of this city and
then spend large portion of the money to secure a
continuance of the plunder. Yet while their hands
are in our pockets, they cry out to all outsiders
freedom, freedom" look out for the slave power,
and other such like clap-trap.'

and twenty persons are searching for gold
on ella river, in Arizona, and are making
from twelve to two hundred dollars per day.
Provisions were scarce and high. The ex-
element created by the yield of the mines
was intense all along the route, but had not
had much effect in San Francisco when our
travellers left that city.
Since the overland mail has individually
proven itself cheap, speedy and secure
means of travel, the rush at San Francisco,
Los Angeles and other places, to obtain
seats in the coaches, has become tremendous.
Not less than one hundred persons had
made application at the Office of the agent
at San Francisco for passage in the last
stage. The privilege of seat is determined
by drawing for it among the applicants.

Victoria now contains some seven thous-

now engaged in building barracks at this
place. The Royal engineers, under Capt.
Parsons, who have just arrived from Eng gland,
will remain here until early spring, when,
having completed their outfits and prepera-
tions, they will start on their overland trip
for the survey of railroad limo to Halifax.
This party is to cooperate across the Rocky

they are aware that this frozen idea has
