The late Fair and Cattle Show, at
Sacramento, was very successfully
carried out for all concerned-i. E. for

In the regular trade our
money is generally deposited with
few classes. such as merchants and
mechanics-and by them forwarded
to the Bay or the East. The
cash does not so into general circula-

Capitol. The price of -four did not
prevent sales. The thing was success

complete perpetuality- The trained
Elephants were "no whar." All a
countryman had to do after arriving
at the City. TO see the wonderful sights
was to sell out-fork over-empty
his pockets. And most cheerfully did
the country yield to the demand.
Every show was duly.patronized,and
at every sell and Disappointment, the
cheerful victim was appetized for-

regulated and graded his stay in the
City on his capital and the number of

A WHO CONVENTION. A verita-
BILE Wing Convention has been cal
led in Virginia to meet on the 14th
of December next. The call is is
sued by the Central Opposition Com
mittee. in compliance with a general
ly expressed opinion of the Oppsition
papers in that State. The National
Inteliigencer speaks of it as a Wing
Convention, and it will probably be
so designated by the Virginia Oppo-
sition papers. The Opposition in the
South is composed of the members of
the old Wbig party, and there can be
no impropriety in their again assum'
ing the name.
The Virginia Convention, however
is called with the view of taking
steps to organize a national Opposi
tion party. We copy the call signed
by the Chairman.
