THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND rnE TELE.
GRAFH-The rapidity with which the Message
Of the President-six columns in length--was
transmitted from Washington yesterday is truly
wonderful. 1t was sent over the wires in one
hour and thirty two minutes. Before the Ameri-
can Telegraph Company completed the improve
ments which they have introduced into the sys-
tenn which they control il took four or five hours
to send on the same body of matter here. But
it IS not merely in point Of rapidity, but Of accu-
racy, that the company have improved upon the
old method. Formerly, on an occasion Of this
kind, when great speed was imperative, the mat
ter transmitted was so full Of errors that it
took much time to correct IT and place it accu-
rately before the public. Now the Message is
delivered here almost as rapidly as it can be
printed, and but very little correcting is required
For all this we are indebted to the admirable
organization and valuable Improvements in in
struments effected by the American Telegraph
Company. The large capital which they have
invested in the periocting Of their system has
enabled them to accomplish wonders in short
space Of time.

The County Fair.

4 somewhat ludicrous error mot OBJ
served until a part Of our edition was
worked off, occurred in our article on
the County Fair last week. The paragraph
should have read, the farmers feel the
need OF, and that they are Justly entitled
to, little recreation. &c, (not "sensa-
tion,'') which of course is very true, and
there IS no doubt but they, in common
with the most of our citizens, intend to he
present at the Fair; the prospect for an
excellent and successful exhibition being
really first rate. There will certainly be
one of the finest displays of fruit vegeta-
bles and farm products, ever witnessed IN
the county, as this has been very favor
able season for such things. The exhibi-
ton of stock ought also to be better than
usual, and our manufacturers will be de
cidedly blind to their own interests II they
! do not show a specimen OF every article
| they make or have for sale.
| The Firemen's tournament, to come of
probably on Friday, will be fine specta-
Gle, and one that can not fail to be highly
interesting to the assembled thousands on
the Fair grounds.
The arrangements for this are not fully
! completed; but we are able to state that
a large cistern, to be filled from the river,
has been made on the grounds, of suffi'
cient capacity to allow the engines to
throw water from it, and that the trial
will take place in full view from the seats
so that all may witness it. 1t is under,
stood that, aside from other trials, there
will be a race between the companies, both
to start at fire alarm, the time of which
will be unknown to either company and
run to the cistern and commence playing
precisely as they would in case of a fire.
This will be intensely interesting and ex.
citing, especially to those who have never
seen the thing done. The awarding com
mittee for the Firemen Tournament are
Levi Mason, for No. |, S. III. McLairey, 70,
No 3, and Geo. w. Armstrong, David *
Shaver, and David Green, for the Society
The Secretary, DR.. Harris, wishes us tc
state that entries may now be made at ans
time, at his office, until Tuesday the lst
after which time the books will be at the
Fair grounds.

ing. Lane is also reported to have been
within 40 miles of Lexington on Sunday,
pressing forward with all speed. Gen.
Pope who had started with some 5000
men to Mulligan's aid, was ordered back
to st. Louis, probably because Fremont
was satisfied the troops from Jefferson
City would get to Lexington before Gen.
Pope could. We await further tidings
from Lexington with especial interest, be-
cause one of the Companies in Mulligan S
regiment Capt Ceffey's) was from this
city. We guarantee the boys have given
a good account of themselves.
Previous to his turning his attention to
wards Lexington Price made an attempt
to take Fort Scott, but finding Lane, Mont
gomery, and Jennison in that region, had
brief ski,mish with them, snd then con-
Guided he had 10 business in Kansas.

returned to Greenyille and threatens an
attack on lronion.
Ten days ago, ali being apparently quiet
at St Joseph, the federal troops were re-
moved from that city eastward. This was
hardly done, before the secessionlsts IN
that region commenced arming again; and
some 1000 entered the city and made
pretty free with the property OF the citl'
zens both friends and foes, until Friday,
Gen. Sturgis, with a small command hur-
ried to St Joseph, upon which the seces-
sionists lied, aud quiet is again restored in
that quarter.
Pretty reliable reports state that Ben
Mccullough, with 10000 men, has returned
to Missouri from Arkansas, and marching
upon Jefferson City.

REcoGNI1IoN OF THE G. S. A. BY CUBA
The telegraph a few days ago brought q
report from Charleston, that the Captain
General Of Cuba had issued a proclama-
ton stating that he would give protection
to vessels in legitimate trade sailing under
the Confederate flag This, at Washing
ton was construed into virtual acknow-
ledgment of the Confederacy on the part
of Spain, and the Cabinet was said even
to have pronounced it casuS 6eN, (cause
Of wary A late despatch, however, says:
Mr.. Tassara, the Spanish Minister, has
called to assure the Secretary of State that
the report from Charleston that the Cap
tain General of Cuba has issued procla-
nation recognizing the rebel flag is untrue.
What has happened is, that vessels from
any port In the united States in possession
OF the rebels, coming into a port with ir,
regular papers, are admitted cr necessit1te,
without notice OF their irregularity, last as
they have been admitted in all other ports
since the rebels obtained possession of the
custom houses in the insurgent States 1t
is needless to say that no such vessels can
be abroad without escaping the blockading
force There is no recognition of rebel
flag in Spanish ports or in any other por's.
That, certainly, puts very different
phrase on the matter.

BAD.-A week ago company went from
Morris to join the Chicago Fusiliers The
handbills' under which enlstments were
sought for this regiment promised various
bounties, higher wages than common sol.
diers, &c Says the Morris Herra of the
boys from that city:
"Wer they arrived at Chicago they
found that the representation, made them
as to extra pay, &c, were without foun-
dation of truth. They also found the Col
OF the regiment in which they were going,
in such state of intoXication as to be un-
able to give them any information as to
what they might expect.
So the company disbanded, some return.

Important Fact About Compromise.

The Crawford Bulletin, q Democratic pa
per in Southern Illinois, makes the follow
ing important disclosure:
We are informed by = gentleman lust
fro,n the Ninth Congressional District,
that there has been complete revolution
among the people on the war question:
Hon. John A. Logan, Congre nan from
that district, has been appointed Colonel,
and has his regiment about ready to take
the field. Many who a few days ago were
OF the compromise stamp, are now en-
thusiastic for the war Logan declares
that he and other compromising men in
Congress met In secret conclave, and
determined to make last effort They
sent May to Richmond to ascertain if the
Confederates would entertain, accept or
offer any compromise. NO compromise
could be agreed upon, they utterly reius-
ing even though blank sheet of paper
be given to them to write their own terms.
Logan declares their intention is % fight,
and calls upon all Democrats to rally
around the old flag, and thwart them in
their dabolical efforts to destroy the Gov
ernment.
This throws light upon an important
point, namely: why May, the Baltimore
Congressman, went to Richmond Just be-
lOTe tue injecting vi tue speCiai seSsioi Vi
Congress. The above revelation makes it
all clear and those who are still talking
about Compromise with the rebels may
derive a lesson from the fact disclosed by
Mr.. Logan, as to his own experience and
! failure in that direction. He is satisfied,
and all men ought to be by this time, that
Compromise means nothing more nor
less than the breaking up of the Union
and the overthrow Of the Government

THE WAR IN Missouri.

All eyes have for the last few days been
turned towards Lexington, No, where a
fierce battle was raging on Monday and
Tuesday Col Muiligan, of Chicago, was
left in command at the post, with some
$500 men On Thursday Of last week he
sent messenger to Jefferson City stating
that the rebel Gen Price with l6, 900 men
had reached Warrensburg, and was on his
way to Lexington, and asking for imme-
date re-inforcements. The next authen-
tic news we have is, that en- Saturday Gen
Price arrived with his command at Lex
ington and summoned Mulligan to surren-
der. That Muliigan returned the some
what curt reply that Price might go to a
certain region distinguished for its warm
climate. That on Monday Price attacked
the place that the fight was desperate all
day, Price making frequent attempts to
storm Nul'igan's entertainments, being
each time driven back with great slaugh-
ter, so that by evening Price had lost 4, 0O0
men to MulIigan 500; that on Tuesday
Price had renewed the engagement fee,
bly; and there all reliable reports stop,
although there is a rumor, brought by a
man who left St Joseph on Wednesday
noon. that Mullgan had surrendered +;
uhile two other men who left st. Joseph
on Wednesday evening contradict the re-
port. 1t appears some 5000 troops were
started to MullgAn's aid on Saturday, who
rsuld rsaeh Lexington en- Tuesday even.

The State Fair.

The state fair at Chicago last week was
a failure only on account of the bad Sc
lection of the ground upon which it was
held and tbs incessant rains by which 1t
was drowned out. The grounds were low
and fat. and in a few hours the rains re.
duced them to a sea OF mud, through
which ravi CATION by no known craft was
found practicable. This, of course, put at
on &c a perfect embargo on visitors and as
TIE gates are the principle source of reve.
nue. to the concern, the failure financially
was complete SO far as articles for exhl
bition were concerned, however, the fail
was really the hes; ever held. Horses cat
tie, sheer, swine farm products &c, &c,
were gathered in numbers and masses that
astori>hes: the managers 1t was for this
reason that they were SO unwilling to give
II w, and continued the fair over to this
week Bat it was no 90 Monday and
Tuesday it rained harder than ever, and
the fair was finally closed in despair The
society, however, went through most of
the motions OF fair, and awarded a large
number of premiums, upon which, for the
present, they are only able to pay so per
cent.

Frank Il. Blair.

The impression one gets in looking at
the late exploits OF Mr. Congressman Col
ouel Frank p Blair, is that of mischev
Gus intermcddler. 1t would seem that
from the star, he wanted the position in
Missouri that is now occupied by General
Fremont. The post was first given 10
Gen. Harvey, but Blair was dissatisfied,
and finally had him laid on the shelf
Then the lamcnted Lyon was placed n
command, and although no man ever dis
charged his duty more vigorously and
faithfully We soon find Blair again GUM
far, that his influence was mainly instru-
mental in preventing him from being re
intorced at Springfield.
From a week after Fremonts arrival at
St. l. uis he appears to have been harrass.
ed by Blairs petty annoyanCes. He was
/ in and out Of his office every hour or two,
wanting this, that or the other thing done,
until Fremont gave him the cold shoulder,
and finally capped the climate of offence
by appointing the very man Blair didn t
want Provost Martial of St Louis. For
this crime, Blair not only got up an at
/ tack on Fremont in the st. Louis Democrat
/ and Chicago Tribune, but it seems wrote
bitter, denunciatory letters against him to
the President and Cabinet. Fremont
hadn't time to go to Washington to SET
himself right, but he sent Jessie, his wife,
and the way she trotted the Blaiis through
seems to have been particularly edifying
getting hold of all young Franks letters
and giving F. z. B. SEN, a terrible tongue
lashing. Young Frank, who was at St
Louis, undertook to retort in kind on
Fremont, and got himself into the Gala
bose Lincoln, anxious to make peace
sends G. NJ. General Meigs and P. NJ. Gen
Montgomery Blair to St Louis to look
into the matter. What discoveries they
made has not TRANSFERRED, but they appea,
to have returned to Washington with q
flea in the ear, while Fremont has neither
been removed nor asked to resign, and
poor Frank Blair remains under arrest, a.
