The Slaughter of LOngstroet's Corps.

Col j. T. Wilder, lately in command in the
Army ot the Cumberland, thus Describes the
terrible slaughter Of Lonestrect's mon. in the
battle of Chckamaugl. The narrative is given
by contemporary:
"Among the incidents Of the hattle Of Sltur.

AGnIouLrunAL rAIn-

The Annual Exhibition of the New
Castle County Agricultural Society, took
place at their grounds, near this city, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last.
The display Of Stock, Agricultural In
plements, Fruits, Vegetables, Mechanism
&c., though not so large as was anticipa-
ted, was highly crcditable. The number
of visitors in attendance was less than on
previous occasions, yet altogether the af-
fair was such as TO reflect much credit ON
all engaged in it, The ladies contribu-
ted much to render the exhibition inter
esting, and exhibited number of beau
tiful specimens of their handiwork.
On each day, several trials of speed
took place. Excellent horses were enter.
ed for the prizes, and the contests were
witnessed by many persons.
We deem it unnecessary to lll our co.
lumns with detailed statement of the
names of the depositors, aud the articles
deposited, or to designate the horses en-
tered or the time made by each, as they
have been about the same for the last few
years, and have been repeatedly given in
the Journal.
We regret that the farmers generally
do not take more interest in these Fairs
as they are gotten up especially for theil
benefit The consequence is, that there
is II samcness about them which destroy,
all interest and must finally result in the
destruction Of the Society. eNowhere elst
in the country is there such an indifTer.

in other States appear to appreciate then
worth in developing and improving the
productions of the farm and garden, while
our citizens manifest very little disposition
to aid in sustaining the Society, and the
whole work is therefore thrown on a few

Isgiaced in nomination for Congress, Ma
THANIEL b. SAnTnERs, ESQ, the present
able and popular Secretary of State
Without at all attempting to gainsay the
strong claims of other gentlemen whose
names were presented to the Conycn-
tion, we give it as our opinion that Mr..
SNIIHERs eminently deserves the high
honor conferred upon him by the assem-
bled representatives of the Unconditional
Union party Of Delaware
During the few months he has held the
Office Of Secretary Of State, he has, by
his ability more strongly impressed the
public mind with the unswcrying loyalty
of the people of our little State, than,
perhaps any other public man i'll it. BY
his steady zeal and untiring devotion to
the cause of the Union and the Govern
ment, both as a private citizen and as a
State official, he has rescued the name of
Delaware from the scorn and reproach
brought upon it by a Copperhead Legis-
lature and former secession State gov
enment, and placed it upon proud
cmncnce Of distinction and glory among
her sister States of the north
Mr. SMIrHgRs is a gentleman of un-
questioned talents powerful in debate
always dealing out to his political adyer-
sary most stunning blows of argument.
Perhaps there is not within the borders Of
the State more earnest and eloquent
public speaker than n h. SMITIERs.
His adyersares know this, and will fear

lar with the masses His personal in.
tegrity has never been assailed either il
public or private, and he stands to-day
before the lrcemcn of Delaware, u true
honest, honorable man That he will BE-
elected, we have not a doubt. He is the
embodiment of loyalty, and will faithfully
represent the interests of his native State
in Congress, as Il member of which his
master mind will make its impress upon
the legislation Of the nation, as it has al.
ready done in matters of State at home.
With such a standard bearer we can Ger
tainly march on to victory, if we will but
organize and work.

THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT NASHVILLE.

The Nashville Dispatch Of Wednesday gives
the following particulars of the accident in the
military prison in that city on Tuesday
:" The upper story was occupied by n large

been called down to breakfast, when the hungry
fellows, ready and eager for their matin meal,
started on their downward course. At the bot
