The Board Of Supervisors convened
at the Court House last Monday. Mr..
Sherman the Chairman being absent,
Mr. s. A. Hall was called to the chair.
The fifteen days of session for which
they receive pay in each year, tcrmin-
ated on Monday evening but they con-
tinucd their session until last evening.
They passed resolution appropria-
ted 800 to the wife and 100 for the
child Of each volunteer in the company
just formed provided they arc at the
time OF applying for the same in needy
and destitute circumstances hut no
family to receive more than 800 per
unless III case Of extreme and unusual
necessity.
In regard to this appropriation the
Board were placed in 4 peculiar and
unpleasant situation. They felt that
they should contribute to all the volun-
tcers alike, but that the appropriation
made for the "rama Co. Rifles" had
too much impoverished our Treasury to
pc repeated upon another company
and SO they finally agreed after consid-
cradle hob-nobing and parleying, upon
the above appropriation.

hibition and had the day been favora-
bic much larger variety would have
been presented and the Fair been a
much greater success
In the main, very good feeling was
manifested; little dissatisfaction how.
ever, was expressed, and we think not
entirely without cause, on account of
the limited number of classes and divis.
ions in the premium list by which a
number were unable to enter their ar
ticles and stock for competition in such
a class as they properly belong. We
hope the Society will see that this fault
is remed died another year. There
were few other faults which we may
as we'll mention here All committees
were obliged to learn the names Of ex-
hibitors in order to award their pre-
miums. This.is entirely wrong, because
itaffords fine opportunity to practice
favortism, scrions fault which has al
ready proved deleterlous to the So
cicty. To avoid this let the Sec. when
ever an entry is made for exhibition, in
his books, annex to the owners name a
number, and let him hand card to the
owner having the same number, to be
attached &, the article for exhibition,
in case Of hogs, sheep and poultry let it
be attached to their pens; it may con-
tain the class in which he wishes to COM
pete, then let the committee award to
numbers. Ribbons, of different colors,
one color to signify the first and the
other the second premium should be
i'll the hands Of every committee to at
tach to animals and articles as soon as
they have made their awards.
No individual should serve upon
more than one committee, and in no
case where lie has an article 0, animal
upon exhibition.
When these faults and few others
are remedied the Society will be still
more prosperous.
We hope no one was discouraged by
the rainy weather, but will be on hand
next year trusting to calmer skies for
a better exhibition.

The resolution of the Kentucky
Legislature giving the command Of the
State Guard to Thos. J.. Crittenden, the
gallant son of the old ex-senator, has
completely broken up the state Guards,

Gov. Magofin had infused treason.
There is no doubt that Gen. Crittenden

NEW WIN, WV II
A dispatch from New Orleans of the
ith inst, to the Richmond Examiner,
tells Of one Of the most important
achievements Of the war SO far. The
L. S. blochading squadron have dug 4
passage through the mud of one of the
five mouths of Mississippi river to the
land spit which commands the whole
five Of them, and now have the Vim
ccnncs, Water Witch and two other
vessels Of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection Of works which i'll less
than week will command all five OF
the entrances to and from the Mississippi
river, Once propely built, this work
will absolutely control the commun-
ication of New Orleans with the sea as
complete as blockading squadron of
twenty ships Of war could accomplish
that object.
The Post says troops are rapidly
concentrating at Annapolis to proceed
on the coast expedition.
