A C0l0red Picture.
The St. Louis Republican publishes an
account of scene at the St. Louis Sanitary
Fair, with an accompanying picture to
illustrate it. The latter represents table
at which are three persons-a fat old negro
weighing three hundred pounds, reared
back on the hind legs of chair, with his
thumbs in the arm. holes of his waistcoat.
legs crossed and head thrown back. At
the other erd of the table is young negro,
and at the side is white. cravated specimen
of white man. Young ladies with aston
ished and indignant faces are looking on,
and one is depicted in the act Of waiting
upon this delightful trio. We subjoin the
Republicans account: ....s
In this instance we think it will be
acknowledged that Mackwitz has done full
justice to the memorable scene in the SAM
tary Fair at St. Louis, when tHo negroes
were introduced at one of the tables in the
Laclede Cafe Saloon, and young ladies of
the highest responsibility were required to
furnish them with refreshments. AS will
be recOllccted, there was some sensation at
the time among all classes Of white people,
and quite strenuous effort was made to
keep the scene out Of the papers, lest it
should damage the prospects Of the Fair
The press took different view of the mat
ter, and commented upon the outrage as it
deserved, and as the people justified
Since then the skill Of the artist has been
called into requisition, and the engraving
herewith presented gives it with fidelity
which will b. acknowledged by almost
every one. If things go Oh as they have
commenced, these scenes, though exceed
ingly repulsive in this instance, will have to
be endured, for there seems to be no limit
to the fanaticism of those people, now SO
seriously afflicted with NEGRO on the brain"
and who insist that black is essentially,
in all things, better than white man.

The short pasturage of Wisconsin, owing
to the early drouth, is driving thousands of
sheep to the Iowa shore, and there is no
animal better calculated to thrive and be
profitable. Daily almost our Ferry steam
ers disbark from ono to three flocks of the
innocent woolies, many lots of which are
of the finest qualities. Northern Iowa will
soon rival the East in its wool shipments
and, in time, its manufactures.
Speaking Of sheep reminds US of a
story" Recently we met q Minnesota
Quartermaster just from Banks expedition
up Rec River. He says he met the origi-
nal Intelligent contraband" on the bayou
down there and asked him, among other
questions, IF any rams ever came into
that bayou ?" "What's you say, Massa p
do any rams ever get into this bayou
abiding, Of course, to the presence Of rebel
gunboats in that quarter. The darby, with
q look of the most intense wonderment

The Naval Combat.

The capture Of the alabama by the
Rearsage has created almost as much ex-
element in this country and in Europe as
would the surrender of Richmond to Gen.
Grant create. There are several reasons
for this wide.spread interest. The conflict
between the vessels occurred near foreign
shore, and this gave it prominence which
it would have lacked had ittaken place near
our own coast. 1t is also the first time
that fight has occurred between the ocean
cruisers of the belligerents, and very natur.
ally there would vast interest attach itself
to this iRitiatory encounter. The length
Of time which the alabama has escaped
punishment, the irreparable damage which
she has inflicted upon American commerce,
the relief which her destruction affords to
American shippers, together with the short,
sharp, decisive character of the contest,
all tend to give the affair much more
than ordinary share of interest.
There is one point that ought not to be
overlooked, and that is, the English charac.
ter of the alabama. She was built by
Englishmen, armed by Englshmen, and
manned by Englishmen. England calls
herself the Queen of the Seas, and yet thu
Queen oil the Seas, as represented by thu
alabama, was sent to the bottom in ius

Of some papers by those who are too "loyal' to
reason or too cowardly to tell truth, but such
readers soon are undeceived, and in common

Of trade, in land, cattle, horses, grain, wool or

badly deprecated if they keep it on hand. Our
readers can calculate on the best advice we can
give them without respect to its pleasing Mr.

The lack of confidence is not for want of faith
in our form of Government nor yet in the abil-
ity of the Northern people "to put down this
rebellion but, as an intelligent Republican
friend remarked this morning to us, sit arises
from distrust of the managers and leading
employees in the general administration of
