TRorTING AT THE COUNTY FA1R.-At the
urgent solicitation of number of owners Of
fine horses, the Executive Committee of the
County Agricultural Society, have concluded
to offer the following premiums for trotting
For the fastest trotting horse, mare or geld
ing. $40.
For the second fastest. ............ Is.
For the third fastest. 10.
The above premiums will be guaranteed
outside of the funds Of the Society, and will
be competed for on Friday Sept. 10th, at one
o'clock P NJ.
Soldiers visiting the fair on this or any 9TH
er occasion, in squads or companies of ten OF
more, under command of their officers, will
be admitted for ten cents each. If coming
singly or in less numbers than ten in squad,
they will be charged the same as citizens.
LET IT PAss.-The house passed resolu-
ton instructing the Judiciary committee to
report bill placing the miserable, cowardly
vagabonds, who claim exemption from draft
ing, on the ground of being foreign subjects,
on the same footing with regard to their
rights, as aliens. This is right. There
is nothing so despicably low to real
true Trishman or no action which will so quick
ly disgust him, as to see man claiming to
hail from his own native land, hanging on to
the skirts of Great Britain and begging her
protection, or to German, as the sight Of
one of his countrymen, claiming this privilege
on the ground of being subject Of some
despotic, insignificant prince. By all means
let us place without the pale Of protection all
who are unwilling to help support the govern
ment. One effect of the law will be to de-
nr;ve them of the benefit of the Homestead
law. z3dif -

willing to hold a council with them at that

would not hurt him there, but refusing to
name time or place.
There seemed to be two opinions in regard
to these Indian troubles One is that the In
dians are in hostility to the whites generally,
but have had no personal difficulties with the
employees of the Government. Another Is
that there is a widespread disalfection among
them and that they are taking this opportu-
nifty to strike for revenge, believing our men
have all gone to the war.
