The Coming Fair.--For several seasons,
among the most important of which were the
time and place Of our late State Fair, the Di,
rectors of the Cedar Valley agricultural and
Mechanical Association decided TO postpone
the annual exhibition Of the Society till the
23d, oath and 18th of December next. I.
was the opinion of the management that .
creditable and profitable display could be had
at that time, and the officers Of the Associ-
alton have made all the necessary arrange
ments for the occasion. 1t now rests with
the people to decide whether this winter ex-
hibition shall be a success or failure. The
former it certainly viii be If the people Of
this section of the State viii but take that
interest in the event that the importance Of
the object demands they should. We have
the material, if we will but put it in the right
shape. Let every farmer, every mechanic,
every artist, every merchant. and those Of
every trade and occupation that produces
something, mpke it his business to prepare
something to swell the display and let all
those who are the possessors Of any rare and
curious works Of art or nature place them on
exhibition. Do not think that an article is
unworthy Of exhibition unless it is unheard
Of in sizs, unparalleled In mechanism. or un-
like anything elso to be seen. Though arti
cles Of this kind are desirable, still the gath

main object Of industrial exhibitions. The
idea is 10 gather in one place. where they
can be seen. examined and compared one

4 Midnight Assault Mr.. j. TAYLOR, IA
milarly known as old JIxxr TAYLOR, Of New
Albion, Butler county, stopping at the Far
mers Home; was assaulted last night some
time after midnight, on Main street, just north
of the American House, while returning to
his Hotel. He reports that It was evidently
the intention to take his life, but that his
cries Of murder brought woman Of neigh
boring house to the. door and his assassin
fed. He was assaulted with brick bats ard
knocked down before he had any intimation
of the williams presence. He is horribly mu-
tulated and bears evidence Of how terribly he
was assaulted. He bad in his possession at
the time about fourteen hundred dollars, but
it is not known that the assault was made for
the possession of the money. We are inclin-
ed to think that the attack grew out Of some
persona! alteration, though Mr.. TAYLOR says
the man was unknown to him.

LIFE IN VICKsBURG-THE ARMY A Lev.
ELLING INSTITUTIONAL letter from Vicks-
burg to the St. Louis Democrat says:
'The poorer classes are all rejoiced at the
sudden transformation of the condition of So
cety; all are now on one common level; our
soldiers are great Jewellers of society. The
aristocracy, which rests solely upon its wealth.
and that wealth consisting entirely in slaves,
finds Itself Shorn in a day of its power. The
family of the owner of one or two hundred
slaves formerly scorned the society of their
neighbor who only worked half dozen or
dozen hands; they will now be compelled by
the Identifying effects Of labor to raise them
selves to a position of social equality with
their more intelligent and, perhaps, more
virtuous neighbor, who has heretofore been
guilty of working like negro.
g The negroes are having a perfect christ
mas holiday. The roads are full of them
all ages, sex and color What is to be done
with all of them | cannot fairly see, but have
no doubt in the wide, wide world they will be
able to find a place suited to them, and where
they can enjoy liberty. The men all seem
willing to fight for their liberty.
The government is compelled to issue ra-
tons to majority of the families between
black river and Vicksburg. 1t is an amusing
as well as Il melancholy spectacle to see the
patriotic ladies whose special mission it was
two years ago to fire the heart Of the south
ern youth and whose mad devotion to the
cause Of the rebellion was The theme of the
poet and statesman of rebellion, drawing their
ratiOns from the misunderstanding the
bounty of the 'vandals,' and socially discuss
ing with our officers the necessity of peace,
and the folly Of resistance on the part of the
south"

one, in answer to an unexpreSsed inquiry
