On Tuesday last there was a meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture at GAINESVILLE, the
Board being full except DR.. Rawson, of Ere
mont, who was detained at home by illness
The business of the session was to re-arranoe
the premium list. appoint the various commit
tees, locate the grounds, and conclude other
preliminary arrangements for the Fair of 1859.
In the premium list a marked improvement
was made, in further equalizing the list, making
it as near perfect as possible, perhaps all that
was necessary. The innumerab,e committees
were appointed from the best and most experi-
enced men in the various departments assigned
them that we have in the State. And here, in
behalf of the Board, we should state it is es-
sential in the extreme that they should attend
and perform faithfully the duties allotted by the
Board. We say it is extremely necessary, so
that when the Board shall again meet in Zanes-
ville-which will not occur until the commence
ment of the Fair-they may not be compelled
to %re-appoint committees hastily in the midst
of other pressing duties. from the con glomera-
ted mass of prejudiced or inexperienced men
around them. Such has been the case. unfor-
tunately for all interests, at all the Fairs which
have been held in the State, causing unpleaS
ant feelings Oh the part of visitors, and censllrc
on the part of those having articles on exhibi-
ton, which invariably falls where it should not
upon the shoulders Of the Beard, instead of
upon the prominent and experienced men who
neglected the committees upon which they
were appointed. Wishing to obviate this diff
Guilty, and to give general satisfaction in every
instance, it is urged that the parties appointed
will faithfully attend:
The ground selected IS said by those who
have examined it to be the most beautiful and
convenient in Nfuskingum county, comprising
forty+iye acres Of an almost entirely level grass
plot, situated about one mile and a half north
west Of the principal hotels GAINESVILLE, and
hemmed in on the east boundary 10y 4 lofty
range of hills completely covered with forest.
Two good roads lead to the grounds, one from
the other from West ZaresvilIe.-I
In addition to this If is said that the Cincinnati,
Wilmington.an and GAINESVILLE Railroad Company
which, by the by. connects ut GAINESVILLE with
the Central Chic for all points, east, west, north
and south-will lay II double track or switch
from the main road in the very heart Of the
city to the grounds selected'b by the Board, ml-
king the time between the two points less than
t has taken us to tell it.
The peopM of GAINESVILLE, to whom much
is returned by the officers of the Board,
ave not been, nor are tlef now Idle, having,
Turing the brief session in their city, collected
nd paid over more than half tie stipulated

THE COST.

The costs in the case of Bushnell were
$747 80-in the case of Langston S872 20.
An equally large cost bill in each of the re
remaining cases would make the aggregate
about $4,000, and the personal expenses and
attorney fees of the various parties connected
with te matter, will probably amount to half
as much more-making a decidedly large sum
to accrue in an unsuccessful effort to return a
single fugitive to slavery.

The wav CONGO Negroes Sell

The Memphis Araloncte of April 29th,
says:
Three of the six native Africans brought
here a few days since, were sold at the mart Of
Mr.. Forest, respectively $50. $40, and $5I5.
The latter sum was paid for a boy about fifteen
yeare Old, who seemed to possess more intelli-
gence than any OF the Others. These negroes
are a part Of the cargo Of the Wanderer, landed
some months since
This cool announcement dispoSes of the re
port that 10 market for recent importations of
negroes could be found. They seem to be in
demand, and to sell at fair prices. Mr.. Blu
ciianan gives lis personal attention to trials of
citizens Of Ohio for violating the fugitive
slave law, but has no information regarding the
slave trade now opened between the coast of
Africa and the South. Federal officers in the

American Officers in the European
War.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times, writes
Capt. Jerome Bonaparte, who lately return
ed to France from a visit TO his parents at Bal
tifrorc, has been placed in the most dangerous
service i'll the Army. He will command in the
Chasseurs dAfrique, a body of light cavalry,
every man of which is mounted on an Arab
stallion Of great speed and endurance. This
body is divided up and thrown forward in adj
vance of the army in scouting parties, and is
employed in all dangerous and rapid recon-
noissances. The captain, or arriving at Paris
ten days ago, left Immediately for Algiers, to
join his company, from whence he will NEST
probably land at Genoa, on Sardinian ter
ritory, which is TO be, on account of its prox-
unity to Toulon and MarseilIes, the future base
of operations of the French army.
l have been told that Major Kearncy, Of
New York, has entered the staff of one Of the
French generals of division, as a volunteer
Major Kearney, it will be recollectcd, distin-
himself in the Mexican war, in which
he commanded a volunteer c~avalary company,
raised and equipped entirely at his own ex-

At the last regular meeting of the Phono"-
ralhy class, taught by Mr.. j.. j. kryder, a
committee was appointed and drafted the
following resolutions, which were read and
unanimously adopted
RESOLVED, That the art of shorthand writing
is well worth the attention of every person,
whose time is precious, as it affords a shorter.
easier and much more rapid method Of trans
hitting thought, to paper, than the one in gen.
eral use.
Reso{red, That we recommend this system to
all who are anxious that penmanslip should
keep pace with the other improvements of the
age.
Resolred, That Mr.. Krvtcr has merited the
esteem and confidence of his class, by the as
siduity and skill which he has manifested in
his instructions, and that we hereby recon-
mend him to the public as a competent teacher
Of this practical and useful art.
Resolped, That a o of these resolutions
be presented to Mr.. kryder, and also that a

The following from the Williams County

The following from the Williams County
Gazette, seems almost incredible
At a mill in the vicinity of West Buffalo, in
his coaunty, on Sunday two weeks ago, the fol-
lowing disgraceful occurrence took place =
Some dozen or more of young men in the
neighborhood-ranging in age from 20 to 30
ycars-had congrcgated at the mill for the
purpose of passing away the Sabbath in idle
ness and silly sports. In the crowd were two
small boys, about u and Ia years Of age, re-
spectiyely, who were compelled by these large
boys-vcry much against their own inclina-
tions-to engage in. a fight and so determined
were the little fellows, that not until they were
threatened with a hogging from these men.
would they 60 at it. One ofthe boys attempted
to go home, but he was not permitted to do so.
The result was, one of the boys bit the others
finger pretty s~everely-they being told by the
men that they must scratch and bite. A few
days afterwards the mother of the boy was
dressing tie finger, when he became very faint
from the excessive pain and noticing the
same she stepped out of the house for some
water, and on returning found him lying with
his head in the fire, He was so badly burned
that he died shortly afterwards.

GALLAT1S, Tenn, April 81,
A dreadful accident
has just occurred at the Law School, about Is
miles from this place. The students were try
ing (iIlustrating) the Sickles case in moot
court, when the young man who took the part
of Sickles jerked out a pistol which he did not
know was loaded, and shot his most intimate
friend, who was taking the part of Key,
through the chest. Mr.. Tap took the part of
Sickles, and MIR. Burk the part of Key. 1t is
a very sad thing, but the shot was purely acct
dental. 1t was at first thought Mr.. Burke
would recover. but modification had taken
Place. Mr.. Tap has suffered so much in mind
that he has two or three times tried to kill
himself; hut been prevented by his young
friends. I hope this lesson will be a warning
to the young men here who think nothing of
carrying firearms, and of showing them upon
all occasions.

Anti-slavery Sentiment to be Punish

4AIA@Sl3NSEy SS1L1LlenC TO De &~uu1ShedS
We learn from the Cleveland Herald, that
on Friday, four of the defendants in the rescue
trial, entered the plea of noL contendre, and
were each sentenced to twenty-four hours i'm
prisonment i'll the county jail, and $50 fine
These men were all residents of Wellington
The Herald says:
"The inside history of this matter has been
given by one of these defendants. 1t seems
they had an interview last evening, Thursday,
with the Marshal, who showed them a letter
from Attorney General Black, instructing the
Marshal to resist any State court habeas cor
pus writ to the utmost, and by force. The
Marshal said he should refuse to obey any writ
from the State court. and if he was arrested for
contempt he expected to be released by Judge
Mclean on a writ of hebeas corpus. The
Marshal stated that the law would be thorough
" enforced against the Oberiin men, but there
was no disposition to punish severely the Wei
lington men. Under these statements these
men We're induced to come into court and enter
their plea, and receive sentence as above"
1t would seem then that it is not so much a
violation of the fugitive slave law which is to
be punished by the United States, as the anti
slavery sentiment. That is the thing. 1t is
Oberiin which must be put down. it is free
dom Of thought which must be crushed out
Honest men have commended that this was the
purpose from the first. That the United States
Marshal should corroborate their assertions,
however, is surprising-&ate Journal.

THE WAR NEWS.

Since our last issue there have been several
arrivals from Europe, but they bring no intel
iigence of interest. The expected great bat
tie lad not yet come of-and the reported
movements of troops, especially on the part Of
the Austrians, seemed to indicate a desire
rather to avoid than seek a collision. If there
is to be any serious fighting, however, we must
hear of it soon, as long delay under existing
circumstances is out of the question.
