information has been received here that
as soon AS Col. Sumner heard of the attack
on the Santa Fe mail, with its fatal result,
be dispatched a company of Dragons to
the Pawnee Fork to punish the offending
Indians. Hopes sre entertained that this
prompt action on the part OF Col. Sumner,
will result in the capture of the murderers
and the rescue of the passengers by its over
due mail. "
1t will probably be found necessary to sta
ton troops at the Pawnee Fork to escort
the mail thence to Cold Spring, and thus
obviate the recurrence of such outrages.

Diatricf Fair.

The disagreeableness of the weather on
Saturday prevented large numbers from at.
tending the Fair who had intended doing
80. But we are told by those who were on
the grounds that the exercises of the day
were very interesting, Notwithstanding the
cold. Three ladies only entered for the prize,
which was awarded to Mrs. McJohnstone
The premium for boys riding, was awarded
to little son of Mr.. Laughlin.
The foot race was the event of the day
and 1--WE are told) placed the judges in quite
aquandary. Several competitors contended
in the race, and pressed forward eagerly for
the prize, but all were beaten by two; but
which of the two beat the other was a
question. One fellow, believing that steam
was good motive power, imbibed freely
to get good Roadway of steam by the
time he started. His opponent in the out
come, was ahead of him only few inches
when he fell, throwing his head across
the terminus line in advance of his compel
itor. Had the fellow been horse the
judges would have readily pronounced him
the winner of the race by "a head" But
not being horse. and his rival insisting that
in the getting of his head over the line in
that manner ought not to count, the judges
concluded it was best to declare them both
victors and divide the premium between
them. r",. .--r.sE sa.s4s E,fsEu

New York, Oct. 9-PM
In the cricket match, Lockyer's side was
victorious. ..r. ~
1t is known that negotiations have been
under consideration for several months past,
having in view the union of the several
telegraph lines between New York and
Sackville, and for the permanent connection
for all business purposes, of the seaboard
lines with those of the North and West.
Such we understand, have been concluded
between the several companies interested.
1t is believed that the arrangements entered
into, will add greatly to the facilities for
the Transmission Of business. The telegraph
has already become one Of the great in
situations of the country, and its use or
abuse will be looked to by an anxious public.
If wisely managed, il will become more and
more incorporated into branch of business.
The new company will have il i'm their
power 10 largely reduce expenses. They
are some two Offices nwo in every town
and village in the country. One can easily
do the business, and do it well They will
have a sufficient number of wires to trans-
NIT business promptly, and owning all the
telegraph patents, they will naturally adopt
the best system that may be desired. There
should be no advance in price, but improve
ment in public convenience may and it
ought be accorded to the patrons OF the wire
More substantial wires should be established,
and better insulation should be devised The
operators and agents should be intelligent
and accommodating, and no message should
be taken when il cannot be Immediately
sent.
BY these improvements, the public will he
will served. The telegraph is an institution
peculiar to the American people; they like
TO do things in a hurry. Ii furnishes news
to the press in advance, and it is common to
many readers to jump for the items.
Owing to the perishable nature Of the
property and the great expense of rebuilding
the lines, telegraph investments in this
country have been for the most part unprofit-
able. The reduction of the number Of Of
fees will aid in renewing the lines. The
public will expect from the new organiza-
ton perfection in the system, a liberal and
enlightened policy, active and enlightened
operators and agents. Business will be done
promptly, aud no preference or exclusive
privileges will he granted.

other distinguished visitors would be pres

derstand that only three townships out Of
eight were represented. Nearly all of the
few that were present were from this city,
where some extra pains were taken to Sc
cure an attendance. ---..-.-----
a Mr. Durham, in particular, must feel keen
ly the cold reception that has greeted him in
this part of the State, where his friends
should be the most numerous. But the
Convention made up in boldness what it
lacked in numbers, and the three townships
proceeded to act for the eight.s Judge Law
was called to the Chair, and Mr.. Lunken-
heimer appointed Secretary. The Douglas
men had everything their ownway. Efforts
were made to postpone the appointing Of
delegates, 50 that all the townships could
