FANCY PREMIUMs.--Th Ladies, De-
partment Of fancy work was poorly filed
at the County Fair this year, This being
the most important department, because
the most attractive to tie largest numbers,
Consequently drawing more revenue than
any other department, the enquiry arises
what has caused :he falling eff? Tie Only
answer is, the grade Of premiums being so
low the women refuse TO prepafe and bring
in their articles for exhibition, if Indeed
they have not taken offense at the two and
four bit premiums for articles costing them
months of labor, while In the mems de-
partner; pig or a sheep costing not a
days labor draws premium of 81 or So.
The men came this year, hundreds of them.
with one oletwo hundred extra dollars, to
see the fancy work of ladies' and perhaps
make the acquaintance of the fair queens Of
toll, but the fine things were not there; the
money SO obtained went to pay premiums
on cattle, sheep and hogs. Next year, m
less change is male. the tables in the fine
arts department will again be barren, aud
the men yill not come with their dollars
bees the women are not there with their
fine things. This will not do. Justice
must be done to the women, or the Coun-
ty Fair will break and scatter Let The
pre- NUNS be raised in the fancy depart
lneut by the new directory, raised TO an
eqnait with the masculine departments.
Women, after all the fnss, constitute the
chief show and attraction at County Fairs.
They must be encouraged, the more the
better.

London. Sept. g.

London, Sept. y.
] aave it from private and reliable
source, that official notice has been given
to Mr. Adams that the iron-clad rams at
Liverpool and Glasgow are stopped by the
Government, and wait the decision Of le-
gal tribunal. This drives the last nail in
the rebel coffin. No ray of hope from
this side ELIMINATES the cause Of the rebel
lion.
This decision BiI be the cue for Louis
Napoleon. and as he has declined to act
without England, the game Of intervention,
recognition and assistance on this side may
he considered up. The gloom that has
been gathered over The seeessi6 n cause in
general, and The mind Of John Bull in par
iicular, has now eliminated ip one grand
pail Of despair. All that cheeky, exuItant
tone, which was so rife before the 1;h Of
July, has gone 10 the to,nb Of the Capulets.
1t is not one disaster, Or ore piece Of bad
news, but myriad. You know '.sofrows
come not single spies, but in battalons."
Those sorrows are for the Southern rebels,
and they are caused by the battalions Of
Uncle Sam

AZ Ihe Nopperheads are circulating a
sly report to encourage the peace brother
hood that Rosecranss lost 10000 men at
his late engagement with the rebels. The
wish is father to the sly report. They
count that snch reports may help to elect
the Palmer ticket by hegelting dependency
among the friends of the war and union.
There are still maiy democrats who hold
to the old flag and constitution. The point
is to discourage and disloyalize such by
circulating desponGing reports.

this we looked forward for the consum-

s,aVc stampede In Kentucky .


A very respectable STAKEHOLDER from
Kentucky informs us that, within three
weeks past, change seems to have come
over the spirit Of the negroes dreams in
the Southern counties Of that State, aud
largo numbers Of them are running of.
He says that over one hundred sud fifty
have escaped from one county, and the
trouble is increasing. In spite Of the
enormous prices which the great Ken
lucky staple, tobacco, is bringing, slaves
have deprecated greatly in value. A
very large proportion Of the slave-owners
say that slavery is hopelessly destroyed,
and that they are willing 70 scquiesce
in any disposition which may be made
of the slaves. This sentiment is rapidly
spreading among the people. The Union
men are almost unanimously opposed to
the faclious and selfish course Of the
pro.slAvery bigots at Louisville and
Frankfort.

Sam Jones has thus far monopolized the

may be left for US, II we succeed in dri-
wing him out, remains to be seen. I'M
less we can hold the rebels back TO the
line of Glade Springs in Virginia, Ten
nessee win be ours but in name. There
is but a single mode Of egress toward
the east. The old National road from
Nashville to Lynchburg aud the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad both
occupy it. At Glade Springs, Thirty
miles beyond Bristol, there is an advan-
tageous military position. Fortifying
aud holding this will bring within our
lines Pound Gap and the famous Virginia
salines, at the same time presenting an
impossible barrier to the advance of any
but besieging force from the east.
Pound Gap is convenient and easy
route for the rebel invasion of Ken lucky.
The Salines is one of the most extensive
manufactures Of salt in the Confederacy.
Two large steam engines supply water to
one thousand boiling kettles, capable of
turning out it is said, eight thousand
bushels Of salt per day. The possession
of these works are important to us, and
will prove a serious loss to the rebels.
The achievement of these results, though
long procrastinated, is probably the OBJ
ject of the present expedition. The
coming fall rains, the inhospitalities of
the mountain roads, and the imperious
nature Of the food and forage question,
are pressing upon US the imperative neces-
sity of decisive action. .,l
