The Tax Season Over-The Sub Treas
ury in Operation.

On Monday last, the tax paying season of the
present year, drew to a close. 1t is a matter
of general remark, that in this county, there
has not been one fourth of the difficulty in
making payment that was experienced a year
ago. This circumstance is worthy of special
note in view of the fact, that Treasurer PEAsE
is standing faithfully by the Sub-Treasury law,
and that none of the money paid into his pos
session has gone again into circulation except
in discharge of public liabilities. In making
his collections, he has demanded not a dollar
in coin, but has refused all paper other than
that of Ohio specie paying banks. In his
disbursements of county and townships funds,
he will take care to provide himself with an
abundance of coin, always reserving, however,
sufficient paper to crafty the partialities of
those who think it Gust as good as gold"
As a general thing, the Taxpayers of this
county have availed themselves of the pro-
visions of the new law authorizing the years
taxes to be paid in semi-annual instruments
The main exceptions to this, are in the class of
small taxpayers and among those who reside
so far from the county seat, that they prefer
paying all at once rather than make a second
trip to the treasurer's Office in June next.

EXTENT AND PopuLAT1oN OF MEXICO

EXTENT AND POPULATION OF MEXICO
The population of Mexico at the present time
is nearly 5000, 900, and the extent of territory
is about a million square miles. About one
sixth part of the population is of European
extraction. Three parts of the population con-
sist of the pure aboriginal Indian races; and
the two remaining parts consist of a mixed
race of European, Indian, and African blood.
The number, however, of the latter mixture is
very small.
The state of Sonora, which, it has been con-
jectured, the Mormons would next locate in,
and which it is supposed may also, before many
years, be annexed to the United States, con-
tains 147,1 inhabitants, and about 12O, 900
squSre miles, being the largest State in extent
of territory in Mexico. The territory of Low
er California, which will also probably at no
distant day be settled by the United States, has
only a population of $1,000, and is about 75,-
900 square miles; The State Of chihuahga,
which will a. no distant day be added to the
Territory of New Mexico, contains a popula-
ton of $4,000, and about 100000 square
miles. IN $3.50

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1859-10-01

The disappointment of the crowd was
happily relieved, by the annoacementthat
the fair, by general desire, and on account
of the impossibility to finish up the pro-
gramme on Thursday, had been extended
another day, and that the omitted items
would be attended to on Friday. Thus re-
heved, the crowd dispersed, looking for
ward with eager anticipation for the NOR
row.
Friday morning opened rather discour'
aginsly 1t had rained during the night,
and it threatened to rain more About 9
o'clock shower did come up, and drop
ped some moisture; but it soon passed Oft,
and then the sun came out and gave ASST
rance of another fair day. Soon the crowd
again was moving towards the fair ground,
and by ten 0 clock the enclosure was well
filled The ladies riding match was then
announced-four ladies entered the list,
who took premiums in the order they are
named Miss Sutphen, of Earlville, Miss
HavenhilI OF Mission; Miss Hart, of Farm
Ridge; and Miss Dutiield, Of South Otta-
wa. The last lady got no premium, al
though evidently the most fearless rider.
! The committee, however, thought she lack
ed grace She rode bare backed and in
a most careless, rolicking style, that was
infinitely amusing, but Il little too nlascu-
line The contest between the ladies was
most animating and exciting, and passed
OFT without any accident
/ This took up the forenoon. In the al
ternoon the trotting match came Oft for q
sweepstakes Five horses were entered ::
mare by T. Donlevy; Buckskin, by DR..
Hopkins; horse by D. Pembroke; mare 10y
j. Wood sorrel horse by l., Harris. They
ran three mile heats, the Donleyy mare
coming out best > in ). ''Buckskln came
in second best; and for the third match,
the contest was so close and prolonged be-
tween the Pembroke horse and Wood
horse that We did not wait to learn the
result.
Another important and attractive fca-
ture OF the day was the parade OF the OF
tawa Cavalry. under Capt. W. II. W. Cush-
man. The company was out IN full force,
and uniform and made Il noble appear
ance They went through the sword drill
and 4 variety of Interesting eyolutions,
ellcitIng much applause.
But we are crowded late into Friday
evening to make up our hasty report OF
the fair, and must dispense with further
generalities to proceed to particulars.
And here we regret that the heavy
pressure upon the officers Of the society,
in arranging the reports OF committees,
paying the premiums, and generally get
ting their business into an Intelligent and
systematic shape, render it next to impos-
sible, in the brief time at our command,
either TO notice hundreds Of articles mi
nutelv as we should like to, or to give
full list of the premiums that were award
ed. We shall do the best we can under
the circumstances, promising to supply
omissions in our next.
We have no complaints to make OF the
officers of the society They have mani
tested laudable disposition to aid Us IN
every way in their power but OF men who
have worked as they have now for nearly
q week, with an energy unparalleled, tax
( ing scarcely time to eat or sleep, we can

CLASS CHARMING IMPLEMENTS

DtScTettOHcTH, NC
In this department we have been able
to get hold of but part of the report of the
committee, and must let the awards go
over to our next. The entries in the
whole class, which embraces several divi-
sions, must have been two or three hundred,
and constituted heavy part of the show
Mr.. Tarble, of the Agricultural Store in
this city, had a large collection of agricul-
tural implements on the ground, embrac-
ing seed drills, corn and cob mill, corn
Shelters plows, &c, and also a unique
washing machine, that appears to be worth
something but we are unable to notice his
list in detail.
A mole draining pillow was entered by
Mr. Aldridge, and another by DR.. Adair, Of
Mendoza, an improvement on the former
Dr. Adair, certainly, presented a strong
case in favor of his improvement so far as
the argument went, for neither was tested,
and got the premium.
Of Flows the entries were quite numer-
Gus, both by Ottawa and Peru manufactu-
rers, as well as several from abroad. We
noticed one made by Buford d Tate, Rock
Island. that the farmers seemed to think
was about right, and another, that elected
similar commentator, exhibited by j. w.
Wilkinson a. Co, of Morris, but these last
'"o' vi ooufse, were ru'eu out Tor preml-
ums, not being made in the county.

committee on the subject. we learn that
there were five entries and that p H.
Smith bore off the ribbon. We shall re-
port more fully upon it in our next.

We were unable to get hold Of the re-
port Of the committee on the Floral Hall
department, and therefore know nothing
to how the premiums were awarded
The display, however, was magnificent, and
we can say about it our own say.
Mr. Chalmers exhibited % pots of green
house plants, embracing some of the rarest
and most beautiful plants known to botany,
nearly all in flower. Also 81 varieties OF
monthly roses, i6 varieties of dahlias, a
moss basket OF cut flowers, fine bouquet of
dahlias, a hand bouquet, a box Of verbenas,

The steamers from Europe during the

The most important item by these
steamers is the renewal OF the French and
English &c in chisa l.-"rPoa7s tbs
allied squadron had attempted the river
Peiho with the English and French en-
ba-sadors on their way to pekin, when
they unexpectedly found the entrance to
the river barred. An attempt was made
TO force a passage, when suddenly batteries
supported by force Of 2o.OOO men were
unmasked and opened destructive fire.
After a severe action, the squadron was
compelled 10 withdraw with the loss Of the
gun boats, Cormorant. Lee and Plovcr-
Four hundred and sixty-four were killed
The French had II killed out Of 60
As may well be imagined, this rcpulse,
which almost amounts to a total annihila-
ton Of the fleet. touches the British and
French pride in tender place, and " ven
gcauce' is the word that swells up from
the erased breast of every subject of their
Majestics governments. Wo to the Celes-
tals, Bitterly will they have to pay for
this savage act of atrocity. The powers
and all the war-like resources of England
and France will now be brought into re-
QUESTION for the leveling of the Chinese
walls, and we may safely predict that they
will not desist this time till the innermost
parts of the mysterious Empire shall have
-
Frustrated A savage and bloody war
worse even than in India-will probably
be the result of the late repulse ut Pekin
While the French and English were
thus sayasely rcpulsed, however the same
news states that the American ambassa-
der was allowed to proceed To Pellin with
out interruption.
Various explanations are given of the
reason for this repulse of the French and
English, the most plausible of which is,
that they attempted to enter the wrong
mouth of the river while the Chinese of
fcials were patiently awaiting their arri-
val at another place We shall doubtless
soon have full and authentic details of the
whole matter.
