At one o'clock the different Committees be-
gan their work The Draft Horses we're
brought into the ring first. There we're seven
entries Of Stations, weighing from 400 to

country. Rob Roy" genuine Clydesdale
stallion, nine years old, weighing over ], 500,
with legs as large almost as al elephant,
and a development Of hair almost to the
knees, showed to Americans what kind Of
horses are used for drawing heavy loads in
England and Scotland. Though we have
little use for such horses in this country, yet
q sight Of such magnificent and powerful
animal was worth twice the price of admis-

HORSES.

THoRoUeHBRED.-Seven in this class we're
brought into the ring to have their merits
passed upon by the Committee, and vie with
each other for the red ribbon. In thorough
bred horses the 6rst requisite is that the
horse shall be of pnre blood. Nothing else,
however beautiful, stylish, fast or perfect in
form, can compete unless he is purely bred.
We have few pure bred horses in Ohio, yet
from those few much improvement in our
hOrseaesh may be expected. OF the seven
entries of this class, three were fine; some of
the others were not thoroughbred.
The first premium was given to Mr.. Prior,
Of Salem, for Browny, bright bay horse,
well bred, fast, with clean limbs, fine head,
but We think of less perfection of shape or
style ofaetion than Colonel Greyson, owned by
J. W. Fitch, Of Cleveland, who bore of the
second prize.

SHEEP

There must be thrte OF four hundred sheep
in the pens, which make very large show.
First the long woods, or Cotswold and Leiees-
ter breeds. Some of these CotsWolds are of
monstrous size, weighing three hundred and
fifty pounds, and are very fat and square.
If their heads and legs could be cut of they
would FL box t5 the very corners 50 square
ly are they made. It does seem, however,
as if such fat sheep we're not as good for
mutton as more lean ones. It is too much
like eating tsllcw, and as We are not Esqui-
maux, We do not need it for food These
COtswolis are Of very hearty constitution,
breed well, many of them producing twins.
Their wool IS long, coarse and curly, Just
what is bringing f very high price for army
clothing now. The Leicester sheep are not
50 large az the Cotswolds, but in general
character are very much the same.
SoUTHDowss The best mutton sheep in
the world are the southdowns, and about
forty head Of them are on the ground Their
smutty faces and black legs give them pc
euliar appearance. Though rot so large as
the -Cotswolds or Leieesters, the quality of
their mutton Is hrst-rate, and when the Amer
leans become a mutton eating instead Of a
pork eating people, and quality of mutton is
taken into consideration instead Of quantity,
these sheep viii be deseryedly popular.
These belong to the middle or medium length
wool.
MERIEos. The Vermont sheep men have
brought large numbers of their Spanish Me-
rinos to the Fair. Their main object Of
course is to sell them Vermont sheep are
deserFedly popular, and they have been the
means Of adding much to the wealth Of the
State, and to the value Of the wool crop in
this country. These little black sheep,
though not so fine in shape, nor so valuable
for meat, shear heavy aeeees In answer to
the question, why Vermont had better fine
wool sheep than other States, we we're an
swsred, "we spare no pains in caring for
them, or in procuring the best Of breeders.
Our foeks have abundance Of feed, are kept
n winter in warm, dry and clean but well
ventilated apartments" The wool crop Of
Ohio brings an annual return of $500, 900,
and if all of our farmers would do as Yer
mont farmers do, or as our own best farmers
dO-fOr We have good sheep growers as well
as Eermont-we might add another million
to the value of our wool crop.
SILEcIAs AND SAXON MERINos.-There are
few pens Of these sheep on the ground from
our best hoeks well worthy Of notice. No
person who is interested in wool growing
should fail to look carefully at the sheep. It
is little amusing to hear the remarks Of
our farmers as they pass pen Of ofsOuthdOBns,
and ask, are these the CatswoIds, and visa
versa but distinct as are these breeds, and
different as is their appearance, We often hear

The American Navy.

The report of the secretary Of the navy Is
the most voluminous ever issued from that de-
partment, and is in itself a nearly complete
naval history of the war. There are now four
powerful squadrons on duty on our maritime
frontier, as follows =
The North Atlantic squadron, guarding the
Virginia and North Carolina coasts, under
command of acting rear admiral S. P. Lee.
The South Atlantic squadron, blockading
the harbors and coasts of South Carolina,
Georgia, and eastern Florida, under rear ad-
miral Dupont.
The Eastern Gulf squadron, having juris-
diction over the southern and western portions
of the Florida peninsula, now under COM
mand of commodore Theodorus Bailey.
The western gulf squadron, guarding the
coast from Pensacola westward to the Rio
Grande, one of the most important and re-
sponsible commands ever entrusted to o naval
officer, under command of Capt D. &. Far
ragut.
There are also large naval forces on the
Mississippi and its tributaries, now command
ed by acting rear admiral d. d. Porter, on
the navigable rivers of Virginia, under COM
modore HARDWOOD, and flying squadron under
acting rear admiral Wilkes.
The secretary enters into an elaborate his
torical statement of the operations of these
squadrons, their growth, maturity, and tri-
umphs, much of which has already passed into
the history of the country. In March, 1861,
there were but ~ vessels in commission, most
of which were abroad, and but 2O7 seamen in
all the ports and receiving ships on the At
lantic coast. In December, 1862, there are
afoat or approaching completion 427 vessels.
The navy, when the vessels now under con-
struction are completed, will be organized as

CITY AND COUNTY.

CHRISTIAN CONFESSIONAL meeting in be-
half of the Christian Commission, was held at
Mechanics Hall, last evening. Hon. Isaac
Davis presided, and after some brief remarks
explanatory of the objects of the meeting, he
introduced Edward S. Tobey, Esq of Bos-
ton, chairman OF the army committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association of that
city. who stated the origin and object of the
commission. and its practical character. The
christian commission was organized at con-
venton of young mems christian associations,
held IN New York, Nov. l6, 1861, and has
since been at work in the army. Its object
is to promote the spiritual and temporal well
fare of our soldiers and sailors. This
has been done by distributing hospital and
other stores, and religious reading, in the
army and navy, in the hospitals, and on the
field of battle. This organization has distrib-
uted in this way 2000 packages, having en-
ployed l79 delegates, 20 of them at one time,
Immediately after the battles in Maryland, tor
the distribution of articles of necessity and
comfort among the soldiers. Over $4,000
have been expended in buying articles to meet
special orders from the army. The army
committee of Boston have forwarded 460
packages, and invested more than $4,000 in
! supplies for the army.
Mr.. Tobey was followed by Rev. Alexander
Reed and Rev. Mr.. McAuley of Philadelphia,
delegates from the commission, both recently
from the army in Virginia, who made earnest
appeals in its behalf.
On motion of George NJ. Rice, Esq,
committee of five, consisting of the following
gentlemen, was chosen to act as an army
committee, to cooperate with similar COM
mttees in other cities, in behalf of the objects
of the commission Isaac Davis, George NJ.

First Voyage of the Misunderstanding
an IrOn-Clad with n LOokinS-Glass.
From the New York Times.
Fortress Monroe. Nov. 30, 1852.

OlIICoS hnOHIOC; NOV. OU, lOOz.
We have arrived here safely, and hasten
to transmit an account of the first voyage of
the 'second Monitor" l have already tele-
graphed about the two bolts starting in our
boiler. 1t made it necessary to shut off steam
and we were towed up. But the trial was
over-the experiment fairly tested. | sup.
pose you know that, besides the apparatus for
firing our great gun, and the small hole in the
turret, there were other principles involved
in this ship, which needed application to show
their value. They we're:
First-The water-tight nature of the turret.
SecGnd-The arrangement for using the
compass.
Third-The sea-going qualities of the ship.
In regard to the first named principle, it
will be remembered that the leakage of the
original Monitors turret was found to be a
serious inconvenience. Water forced itself
under the huge ''caste of iron," and in
heavy sea, when these dow craft are almost
''bured in the deep" it was thought this fea
ture would be fatal to their success. new
invention was devised to remedy the difficult
ty. 1t has worked, and now the turret is wa
ter-proot. There is even no use for the little
channel made to carry off the ''inevitabe
leakage, as there is no leakage at ALL
The second principle is grand one. 1t

through looking-glaSS. You know no COM
pass can perform its functions within such an
iron prison as turret. The magnetic needle
acts sluggishly and lifeessly, pointing never
correctly. There was another difficulty to be
overcome. 1t has been removed in a beauti-
tul manner. The reflection of the compass
movements is conveyed to the helmsman
through mirror, the compass itself being
raised far above the deadening influence of
the iron house. In battle the compass is re-
moved, it being only essential at sea. A wag
observes that the looking glass will also make
the Jack Tars look to their cleanliness, or to
their dirtiness.
The third principle tried is the general sea-
going qualities of the new Monitors Being
water-tight, where alone water could always
come, they are safe. If waves reach the TOP
of the tunnel they may wash over, but cannot
drown anybody. The steadiness of the craft
is wonderful. Moving through the toughest
tide, she is as free from rolling and pitching as
one could well imagine. With fine engines
she might steam round the world.
We are ordered to Washington. What is
the business on hand for us it is not for me to
say, if | know. But Monitor No 2 is success
full, and that is good news enough for one let

Interesting News of the Rebel Army
Retreat from Fredericksburg to Rich
mOnd.
Correspondence of the New York Times.
FALMOUTH, Dec. Friday night about
twelve o'clock, while Capt. Byron McCutch-
con, of the twentieth Michigan infantry, was
on duty with two hundred men on the Wash
lngton farm, the old homestead of the Wash
lngton family, about two miles east of Fall
mouth, where George cut the famous cherry
tree, two rebel officers crossed the river in a
skiff and delivered up themselves and arms,
asking the protection of the stars and stripes.
They were well dressed and intelligent gem
tlemen; one captain in Texan regiment
and the other clerk in the quartermasters
department in Richmond. They left Rich
mond nearly three weeks ago, and have since
remained secreted by an Irishman living in
Fredericksburg, only venturing about by
night.
They agree that the rebel force at Freder-
icksburg numbers from 10 900 to 100, 900 men
and certainly has not exceeded the latter fig
ure; and that, though suffering for clothing
and many kinds of supplies, they are still APP
parently hopeful of final success. For once,
however, Gen. Lee and his associates are puz-
Zled over the movements of our army, which
they do not seem fully to comprehend, and
have finally concluded the advance upon
Fredericksburg to be feint designedto amuse
them, while the main attack upon Richmond
is to come from another quarter. Upon this
theory, they now believe our force in front of
Fredericksburg in reality to be small, and that
immense hosts are being embarked at Bell
plaine, and conveyed in transports up James
river. Acting upon this idea, they hare COM

The Fight at Clnrk,s mills.

An account of this affair, containing some
errors having been published by us, we avail
Of statement by an officer to correct them.
The engagement took place on the 9TH inst.
Capt. BarstOw Of the 10th Illinois cavalry re-
ceived information about eight o'clock that
force of rebels was lying within six miles of
his camp, at Clark's Mills. Dispatching a
lieutenant on the GAINESVILLE road, with twenty
men, the captain proceeded with eighteen
men down the West Plains road. When but
two miles from camp, he came upon the head
of column marching toward him. A charge
was ordered, which resulted in killing nineteen
rebels and wounding some twenty, besides a
number of horses. Finding the enemy's force
about five hundred, Captain Barstow re-
treated to camp, with a loss of two killed, five
wounded, and twelve horses badly shot
About the same time, five scouts returned,
and represented large force of the rebels
advancing from another direction. Messen-
gers were dispatched to Springfield and
Marshfeld for reinforcements, but effective
assistance from any quarter was then out of
the question, as it turned out. The enemy
opened a fire with two six-pounders on the
block house of the post, Capt Barstow re-
plying with his two pieces of light artillery,
and continued the fight with great bravery
until three O'Clock in the afternoon, when, be-
ing out Of ammunition, he was compelled to
surrender. 1t had previously been ascertained
that no way was open for the retreat of the
whole command. Seventy-five men, inclnd-
ing the captain, surrendered to the rebel COM
mander, General Burbrdge, who paroled the
captain and his men on the spot, allowing
them to retain their private property. About
thirty escaped without surrendering The
rebels had four six-pounders, between five
and six hundred infantry, and twelve hundred
cavalry. Their loss was ffty-seven killed
and large number wounded. Captain Bar
slows loss was seven killed and five wounded.
The charge in the morning was certainly one
of the boldest operations we have heard of
