AGRICULTURAL PREMIUMS.

The premiums awarded at our last agricultural Fair
were delivered to the successful competitors Mon
day. The Court House room was attended by q num-
Der of intelligent citizens on the occasion. The pre-
udms made very pretty display, and wero accepted
by their recipients with graceful appreciation, not so
much for their intrinsic worth (altbOugh they were
quite handsome) as from the consideration of whut
they represented viz the need of SUCCESS in an hon
orable competition of homo industry. We trust that
many others will hereafter be induced to enter this
field of useful emulation. No institution in our midst
is calculated to do moro good to the substantial inor

FIVE SHOTS INTO THE JOHN AND ALBERT.-
The case of the ship John and Albert has been
reported by telegraph. The New Orleans Plea
yune, Of the oath May, has the following par
ticulars:
captain Crowell, Of the ship John and Al
bert which arrived here this morning, reports
that on the 18th inst, when between Florida and
Cuba, his vessel, with the American fla. flying,
was fired into five times, bya British war steam.
CT. The shots, he alleges, passed quite close to
the vessel, and over her; and she WAS compelled
to heave to, without having time to take in the
canvass Of the ship, so as to save her spars, al.
though it was blowing very heavily at the time.
and she had everything set before the wind.
The last shot was fired after she had come to
the wind-passed just overhead. and was evi
IDENTITY intended to dismast her. She was then
boarded from the steamer, and Capt. Crowell
was required to show his papers. Shortly after
the British officer had left United States steam
irigate came to the rescue."

There's voice from the visions If midnight around
me,
How solemn and mournfu, how death-like the sound
That breathes to my slumbcrs the woes which sur
round mo
And echoes tho words "all alono, all alone"
There's voice from remembrance which brcnthes in
my ear,
The pleasure I've witnessed, the eorrow I've borne
liat to the fate which awakeus tear,
While hearing the accents "alonc, all alone"
There's voice from my fancy whose hopes have been
blighted,
That wceps its illusion in heartrending moan
There's voice from the sorrow Of love unrequited,
Which tolls ME again I'm "aonc, NIL alone"
When turn to the scenes Of my childhood to gove,
And muse on the objects now faded md aown,
When think of the few that are left me to love,
then hear the whisper, "slone, all alone"
Yainly knock ut humanity's portal,
And ask for that friendship alas have known
The world shuns the prayer of the lfowearied MORTAL
And my heart sghs tie answer, "alOne, all alone"
And while there are those who are seemingly dear,
There still is n voice whose serene gentle tone
Reminds me that tho for awhile they are near,
At last shall find I'm "nlone, NIL alone.'
Sadly 20 to my own silent slumber
And kneel in my thoughts at . heavenly throne;
Sweetly dream that mid joys without number,
live, love and hope without hearing "alono."
And oh if there DO in yon regions above

Where days are unnumbered and sorrow is love-
Surely there will be rest for the child Of "alone."

We dare say some persons of a suspicious dispo-
sition, who had never carefully read Nr SEW.
ARDS Rochester speech, have been led by The
Herald to suppose that it contained very shocking
and dangerous doctrines regarding the abolition Of
Slavery in the Southern States. The Herald has
done its best to make the people believe that in
that speech Mr.. Seward declared himself in favor
Of such abolition BY the Federal Government. But
what he did say was, that he was in favor of such
abolition BY the people Of the several States acting
independently and in accordance with their own
respective constitutions. The duty Of the Federal
Government in the matter, according to Mr.. Sew
ard is simply to quit the strenuous effort, which it
has 50 long been making under the control Of the
Democratic party, to force Slavery into Free Ter.
ritory, and allow the influences which tend to Free.
dom fair chance to operate. That is the whole
theory Of this alarming sgsech; and We say that
there 10 nothing which could less interfere with
State rights, or loss oyerstep the bounds of Federal
authority. Those who think the speech contained
anything more, should read it for themselves.

The Eypress says of our State Election:

The American party has been pretty well ground
down between the Republicans and the Democrats
American voters often making their choice for Parker
Morgan, according to their ancient predictions as
Democrats or Wings
That this is not the whole truth, we do Ger.
tainly know. Here and all over the State, Wing.
Americans of the Hunker stripe voted in schools
for Parker, ayowedly to beat Morgan and the
Black Republicans" We know personally some
who did this. The E1Prsss doubtless could add to
the number.
To illustrate: The populous township Of Pom.
fret (ncluding the villages of Fredouia, Dunkirk
and LaOna) was formerly Wing stronghold giving
three or four hundred majority for Clay, Harrison,
Taylor, &c. In 1876 ito Pro-Slasery Wings
Joined "ths American order" and ruled the town
in its name for two or three years. 1t now gives
Parker over 400 votes to like number for Morgan,
and only 100 for Burrows. OF course, the Hunker
Wings have gone clear over 10 the Slave Democ-
racy.
Cortlandt, Westchester Co., has just given
Parker and Kemble decided pluralites by the same
process.
We state these facts with no thought Of com.
planning Of them. Men will vote as they see fit.
1t is the simple truth, however, that the Pro-
Slavery Americans throughout our State, whether
of Wing or Democratic antecedents, very generally
dropped Burrows and supported Parker.
