NJ, @. FAR RGRouND--IMPRovKNENT We yes
terday visited the County Fair Grounds, OF
Phillips Hill, for the purpose of making mott
of the improvements going on in that beauti
ful locality, aud we regret that other engage
ments precluded us the pleasure Of writing ouI
in full for to,day's paper all Of what we in
tended saying We will, however, refer to The
subject more at length at another time.
We had heard of the purchase by the Society
Of the three acres of grove adjoining the grounds
and lying between them and the Pike, but We
had no proper idea until we arrived there yes
terday, what gratifying change it had made
to the entire premises. A new and substantial
high board fence has been erected in front, the
entire length of the Fair Grounds; aud the OF
fee has been removed from its old position Ia
the front, between the two main entranc es Ia
the place, In the grove, inside, posts for hitch
ing horses are being put up, and on the posts
on the three sides of the Grounds surrounding
the Grove, hitching rings are beng inserted
and every possible convenience is being affor.
ded for the careful arrangements Of carriages
wagons. ETC., during the attendance Of the Fair
There cannot now be any further complaint for
want Of room to properly secure the horses aud
the teams of those desiring to attend the Fair
This has cost the Society a large amount Of
money, and it is reasonable that the public
for whom it has been done, should literally
contribute to it, and thereby subserye the pub.

receiving the Flushing touches aud the fruit
and vegetable department, which will be in
charge Mr.. Welty, the popular confectioner, is
being trimmed up to receive the dePosites Of the
fruit exhibitors; the Orators stard is being
made worthy the occasion, and large number
of seats are being put up, and seats are bein g
put around the trees in the grove; stand will
be erected for the Band, which will delight
visitors with sweet and varied strains during
the Fair; the track will also be put in the best
possible condition, and by next Wednesday,
the day-all will be in readiness for the public
But we have no time to say more to dsy. We
hope we have said enough to interest every
body--to arouse the pride of every city in old
Montgomery--to aid all they can in the way Of
cash patronage to assist in paying for, and i'm.
proving the Fair Grounds. Let some useless
expenditures be dropped for the present, and
aid with your spare change the unceasing exer'
tions of the Board Of Directors in their glorious
work.

The black bespeak lively heart,

That burns and lives beyond day;

In blue may feelings all repose;

| b. of the Times newspaper, introducing him
to the audience as the ''Servile bantling of a
clique of managers who used him as a cats-p "
also, as Richmond importation" and weak
and reckless adventurer," who had come out
to teach Western Virginians
| Mr.. E. wanted the people Of Trindclphia to
understand how conventions were got up in
| Wheeling, especially how the one of the 18th
uit. was got up. In the first Ward meeting
for the selection of Delegates to the Court House
Convention had been called to meet at the Hose
House. When the time came they did not meet
there; but about half dozen beardless youths
met at II Democratic Grocery, where three of
them volunteered their services as Delegates
These three were members of that Convention,
he said. Again, at West Liberty u meeting for
similar purpose had been called. There were
eight persons present at the meeting. Ills friend,
DR.. English one of the nominees, was member
and was sent as a Delegate to the Court House
Convention. And that the way, he said,
the thing was orked. These Conventions were
just so many packed juries There was no fair
ness no representation of the sentiments of the
people in them.
Mr.. E. then went on to n consideration Of the
"calumnieS," as he called them, which had been
used against him in the matter OF his connec-
ton with the Panhandle railroad. He went into n
statement OfthG facts ofthe case, embracing sub
stantialy those set forth in his card in the In
| teltigencer the other day. This charge, he said,
as obviously US sunlight, was trumprd up and
used against him for sinister purposes, by those
who had always been his enemies. The proof
that it was so used was found in the fact that
the same parties had nominated Col. Wheat,
who until recently was the paid Attorney of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; road that had
VIGOROUSLY swindled and injured Ohio county
to the full extent of its power. These men did
not consider it at all n cause of distruSt towards
Colonel Wheat. neither did any OF them ever
cast any reflections upon Mr., RusselI's fidelity
to our local interests, because recently, in the
exercise Of his profession, he had become the
Attorney of the Baltimore road.
Here the bells of the hotel rung for supper,
and Mr.. E. cut short his remarks, having spo-
ken only about half an hour.
