An extraordinary E1hibition.

The Hopkinsviile (Ky.,) Mercury, gives
the following account of the appearance of
ten brothers Brown, at the Agricultural Fair
in that county last week:
\ remarkable exhibition took place in our
amphitheatre on the last day OF the Far
one perhaps never before witnessed at any
fair in the Union, and which would have
been a noticeable feature at any exhibition
in the world Ten brothers, named Brown,
all fine looking fellows, with a strongly
marked family likeness, with long flowing
boards, dressed in similar apparel, and
mounted on ten superb gray chargers, which
they rode in splendid style, entered the am
phitheatre and dashed around the arena as
gracefully and as fearlessly as a cavalcade OF
Bedouins chasing flying foe over the desert.
They twined and interwined in every varie-
ty of evolutions. Now in heightened line,
now whirling in intersecting circles, now
laundering all abreast in one uubroken line,
whose front seemed as impregnable as a
Macedonian phalanx, and whose advance
was as steady and as imposing as an ap-
preaching billow of the ocean. The excite
ment was intense, unbounded, and universal,
and the spectators cheered long and loudly,
while showers OF boquets rained from the
hands of beauty on the gallant horsemen.-
! At the call of the Marshall they refined up
in presence Of their venerable mother, who
was looking with tears of joy and pride on
her array Of gallant sons, and on behalf of the
Association, Major n. E. Gray presented her
with silver goblet accompanied by some
very beautiful, touching and appropriate
remarks. The eldest Brown is aged 40 l.;
the youngest 20 years. Their names are
Andrew Julien, Absalom: Gravenor S., Au-
gustus W., Robert s., William, John a. E.,
Thomas F., Samuel NJ Milton D. All but
three live in this county, and all but one in
this State. They are all farmers and traders,
and are steady, thrifty, respectable men,
That day was the first time for fifteen years
since they had all met, and an affecting
meeting it was, both TO them and to all who
beheld it.
When soon or late they rea h that coast,
| Ger LIES rough ocean driven,
| May they rejoice, no wanderer lost,
| family in heaven

A DoUBT.-Some of the politicians at
indianapolis are puzzled to know whether
Durham, appointed by Governor Willard as
Secretary of State, is to hold Office under the
appointment only for the fraction of Mr.
McC.ure's uneXpired term, or for the next
year. The Constitution provides that the
Secretary of State shall hold his office till
mis- successor is elected and qualified" Mr..
Mcclure is Mr.. McClure's elected successor.
He has resigned his present commission ; but
after the sixth of January lie can come in
and qualify under his recent election. The
question is, does the Governors appointment
give Durham the office beyond Mcclure S
present unexpired term; if SO, does it not
give it to him for the next regular term of
two years2

EXECUTIVE FRAUDS IN ELECTIoNs.-The
Brooklyn IN. Y.,) Eagle, democratic pa
per, exposes the means used by the Admin
istration at Washington, to secure the Le-
compton candidate for Congress from that
district. With all the bribery and frauds
committed, tie Executive candidate came
out second best, in a race of three:
The Navy Yard was stuffed with employees
crowded into it hundreds upon hundreds, SO
that they could hardly walk through the
yard wiLoIt knocking their heads together /;
every one of whom was compelled to pledge
himself to Taylor before he could gain an
entrance. Besides the votes manufactured
in this way, every employee was taxed more
than ID 1.-THE of his whole pay to raise huge
corruption fund to pay up the floating scum
ever ready to sell itself on the eve of an cleo
ton. The employed in the yard were for
the most part the noted DULLES and rUtfians
off the city. We ask any candid man if the
appearance and physiognomy of the squads
who hung around the polls i'll TWO or three
Navy Yard Wards of the city Yesterday,
shouting fer their master, could be matched
anywhere except by looking through the
grating ola penitentiary? Such forms and
faces never looked upon this outer world be-
fore, except through prison-bars, medium
of vision familiar with most of them.
| The means employed to manufacture Tay-
lor voters, were not more corrupt than the
manner in which they were used was de-
grading. They were sent to the polls with
marked ballots in their hands, headed by
their overseers, and driven like dumb beasts
of the stall to vote this marked ticket, with
the eye Of their slave-drivers upon them; a
spectacle better calculated TO make cen
angels weep than any scene transacted in
a Southern slave-pen. The result has prov
ed that only the employees thus tyranicaly
coerced voted the ticket and throughout
the whole city it did not receive one honest,
unpurchased vote.

ed them in Illinois, without the least re-
spect to the wishes of the Department, or
any form or consultation. The rule has

bsI@The Democrats Of all shades Of opin

will be the inevitable effects of Stewards
Rochester Speech. They think it has re-
moved him as an aspirant to the Presidency,
and damaged the prospects of his party. Tbs

swallowed without objection. But how

the influence of Douglas election, says:
Senator Douglas has achieved signal
triumph While every other free State but
California has gone against his party, Mr..
Douglas has beaten the Republicans and the
AdminiStration-we had nearly said COM
bined-hut, since that is denied, we will say
alike. Possibly, that he has beaten the Re
publicans by the aid of the Administration
weakness and unpopularity and the current
suspicion that its head urgently desired his
discontinue, even at the cost Of seeing his
place filled by BLACK Repubii an"
would be the truer statement. At all
events, the result is unqucstionablc. 4 ma
jority Of the new Legislature of Illinois is
for Douglas, and he will be returned to the
Senate for the term of six years from the
4th of M;ssch next
Illinois now presents the same attitude
toward the North and South respectively
that Pennsylvania did in 1856, and Mr..
Douglas holds the position then held by Mr.
Buchanan. He must either be nominated,
or the Democratic party practically retires
from the contest, guaranteeing the govern
ment to the Republicans. Of course, not

Rz~The bitter quarrel between the editor
of the Richmond South, formerly the organ of
the fire-eating disunion partyin Virginia, with
the Hon. Mr.. Yancey, of Alabama has had
the effect to drive the former into the sup
port of the Union, and to applaud the Ma

The HOG Crop ON the Mississappt.

A letter from a highly respectable COM
mission house in St. Louis, dated the 9th
inst, to packing house in this city has the
following comments upon the prospect Of the
hog crop in Missouri, and the country tribu-
tary to the St. Louis market. AS it is
written for the information, and to guide
the operations of friend of the writer, its
statements may be relied on as revealing his
honest convictions. He has good means of
forming correct opinion. He says: "Since
my return home, have been arranging my
figures for an estimate of the incoming hog
crop; and think it q moderate estimate to
calculate the increase over last year, at Is
per cent. Tbc'surplus of old pork on hand
islargely over last years stock, at this date
aud as vet we have no indications of any
increase in tue export demand; though the
abundance and case in money matters, may
and likely will-induce a speculative de-
mand for export later in the season.
Home consumption, too, is likely to be larg-
er this, than last year; but allowing for
these, and taking the most favorable view
of the prospects ahead, do not see any
thing to Justify the present prices for hogs,
as quoted at Cincinnati. No contracts have
been made here yet for over S. nett except
one for 500 hogs at S. IS"

Ezl7@ In a speech, few days ago, Senate.

Esl3@ In speech, a few days ago, Senator
Hammond, of S c., said:
He did not think there was any territory
belonging to our Union, suitable for slave
~, unless our Pacific slopes would answer; ;
but there the mongrel races of Mexico would
amalgamatc with the slaves, and the insti-
tuition would become worthless and inse-
cure.
This is the view which every practical
and sensible man must take of the subject.
There is row no morgan lied territory with
in the Union, to which slaves would be- to
any extent, introduced, if it should be per-
mitted by law hereafter, and negro slavery
could never exist in connection with the
Peonage Of Mexico. There seems, there
fore, no just grounds for fear of the extern
sion of slavery, which makes the staple OF
our political discussions.

all off; there is scarcely one to be found
The same fatality has attended the receipt
Of the news from Illinois, wherever it has
reached. The State Journal says the same
is the case in that city. The admirers of
Judge Douglas have multiplied rapidly since
the receipt of the news that he had secured
the election of majority of his friends to
the Illinois Legislature. The next "read-
ing out of the party will be done by
the men whom John L. Robinson, Voor-
hees, Mcdonald, Bright, Fitch L Co., have
denominated disorganizers and rebels. The

attempts at plastering over some ugly places

BEIya The London Times is making most
violent assaults upon Mr.. Reed, our Minister
to China, for his conduct in the negotiation
of the joint treaty with the Chinese. 1t ac-
cuses him of having acted subsidiary part
to the Russian diplomacy, with having accep-
copied terms under the influence of the Rus
Plenirotentiary, less favorable to European
commerce than could have been obtained,
and much short Of what France and Eng
land would have secured had not our Minis
ter yielded to Russian influence. These at
tacks upon our Minister and government
from the intimate knowledge they disclose
of the secret history of the negotiation
are supposed to have been written in the
British Foreign Office, or by an English Of
fetal connected with the English diploma
cy. From facts that have come to light, it is
suspected at Washington, that some Of these
plomatic measures have been betrayed by
Sir Gore 0usley, who has been sOjourning
at Washington, occupying dubious po-
sition, and making himself the confident of
Mr.. Buchanan. What facts may he not
have gained at the social board, and in the
condolences and careless hours Of excursions
to New York and Bedford Springs? Is it
not disgrace to the country that paid
employee Of the Foreign Office of Great Brit
ain has, during all the disrussians with for
eign nations, involving the material inter-
ests of the United States, been the bosom
friend of our Executivel Ought not we, Of
