FRANKLIN, Oct. 6, 1858.
To the Editors of The Daily Pdtriot:
GENTLEMEN 1T was my intention to write
you letter to-day, but can't do it. Have
got the worst pen ever saw, and have seen
some deuced mean ones in my time; besides
there is such crowd of men and boys in the
stand that nothing can be done in my line.
There is a considerably larger crowd at
tending the Fair to-day than we had yester-
day. The rain last evening (Which fell about
the time 1 closed my bulletin) knocked the
dust into cooked hat and many ladies and
dust-detesting gentlemen are out who, other
wise, would have staid at home.
CAMERON, of the Meas, and WILLIAMS, Of
the Southern Hometead, are here as large rs
life, and are making themselves quite numer-
GUS CAMERON is upon his native heath, and
feeling thoroughly at home, is rearing around
like pair of winding-blades. 1t may not be
generally known that am here, also, but
such is the fact. | am doing the best can
for the Patriot, and equally as well, perhaps,
for myself My friends, DR.. d. B. CLIFF and
Messrs. ii. S. and W. Ii. EWING. and. NJ. b.
CATER, have shown me every attention
could possibly desire, for which the Patriot
office, and everybody thereuntO attached, are
hereby notified TO assist me in being duly
grateful.
| thought OF the ''Gaiety" last night. "and
for a moment almost wished me there:" but l
had an engagement aud couldn't go. Tell
my friend Burdoch, (of course / mean Muir
doch,) the .'old Robertson" they dish out to
strangers here is strong. and after taking IA
drop or so, Il never indulge in larger guam
tlty at timel, You cant say Burdoch-hang
ii! MurdUcb-to save your lite. Tell my friend
Burdoch that I wanted, the worst sort, to see
him put the Prince of Denmark through last
night; but as the pleasure was denied me, if
he Will arrange stage in his room at the
botel, will drop down in day or two and
do him the honor Of seeing him in Hamlet, or
anything else. misunderstanding him that
it will be no trouble to me whatever-eXcept
getting the money to pay my way down; but
it won't require more than twenty dollars,
and nothing will be easier than for him to
send Inc the amount by to-mOrrow's mail.
