No fighting occurred on the line to-day.
The rebels fell back this morning to their
main line of works which run from the
lead works to the south side of the road,
or near it. This position is very strong
one, and cannot easily be carried.
A division of the Second Corps ad-
vanced toward the Boyton road, over
which the enemy wagon their supplies to
Petersburg. Two lines Of works were
found unoccupied, only by a skirmish
line opposing the advance, and falling
back before our troops.
Near the Boyton Road very formida.
BILE line of works were found, behind
which the rebels were posted in heavy
force. IL was not deemed advisable TO
attack them, aud we fell back and occu-
py q safe position, We lost a few wound
ed 10 the advance. Our loss on Friday
was greater than at first stated.
The total in killed, wounded and pris-
oners amounts 10 about 1000, over halt
of whom were captured. This occurred
in consequence of gap between a part
of the 5th and 9th Corps, through which
the enemy charged and flanked the I'd

SYMPTOMS:

The symptoms of Catarrh as they generally
appear are very slight. Persons find they have
a cold, that they have frequent attacks, and are
more sensitive to the changes of temperature
In this condition the nose may be dry, or u
slight discharge, thin and acrid, afterward be-
coming thick and adhesive. AS the disease be-
comes chronic, the discharges are increased in
quantity and changed in quality; they are now
thick and heavy, and are hawked or coughed
off. The secretons are offensive, causing bad
breath the voice is thick and nasal the eyes
are weak the sense of smell is lessened or de-
stroyed deafness frequently takes place. An
other common and important symptom of Ca
tarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the morning of thick and Shiny mu-
cous, which has fallen down rom the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the per-
son may be sure that the disease is on its way
to the lungs, and should loose no time in arrest
ing it.
The abope are but yfeto Of the many Catarrhal
Symptoms.

E. Merrill, Of Ferrysburg, was on the
ground with his celebrated Kentucky
horse, Daniel Boon" He is beauty.
THE ADDRESS,
by Hon. H. Pennoyer, was concise, well
conceived and delivered, appropriate to
the occasion and well received by the au-
dience.
THE REMOVAL
of the Fair Grounds was taken into con-
sideration and a resolution was passed in
structing the Executive Board Of the So
ciety to purchase and fit up for the use
of the Society fifteen acres of land of Mr..
Miner Hedges, lying opposite the resi-
dence of Barney Van Patten, three-fourths
of a mile west of the Congregational
Church, Lamont, it being offered to the
Society for $500. The premises are fine
ly located and would afford the most am
pie room for all practical uses on behalf
of the Society, and allow the construction
Of half mile course for trial of the
speed of horses-a convenience now much
needed in the competition for premiums.
A subscription for a portion of the pur-
chase money was started in circulation
and nearly $3.50 of the $500 required
were subscribed at once, in sums varying
from 81 to $50-the latter sum being
subscribed by our townsman, Hon. T. W..
Ferry. Several subscribed $25 each. ;
ACCIDENT.
Only one accident, to our knowledge,
occurred to mar the proceedings. The
horse of DR.. Squiers, while trotting on the
course, suddenly found himself the sub
ject of several stripes, well laid on, at the
hands of the doctor, when, seized with a
commendable spirit of resentment, he
struck out boldly on another tack, dash
ing impetuously over the space devoted
to the display of agricultural implements,
thoroughly resolving into its component
parts the sulky in which the doctor was
sitting, placing him hors de combat, and
thence dashing away among the crowd,
all of whom escaped, some almost mirac-
ulously, from the Infatuated animal. The
doctor, we understand, was injured in the
transaction-how seriously we have not
learned.

we intend to publish next week with the
names of the new officers elect.

LrNcoLNs DEFEAT CoNcEDED.-The
Albany Statesman (Rep.) thus announ-
ces the nomination and the effect of the
nomination of General Mcclellan:
"In nominating Gen. Mcclellan the
democrats place their very strongest man
in the field-a man who will poll larger
vote than any other democrat who could
possibly be put into the nomination.
The abuse which Mcclellan met with in
the Convention from Harris, of Maryland,
and other traitors of the same stamp can
not fail to be beneficial to the nominee
with the better portion of the American
people.
"Tbe democrats having nominated
Gen. Mcclellan forces the republicans
to do one or two things-withdraw Mr..
Lincoln from the canvass, or else see the
democrats carry the election by an over
whelming majority. AS Mr.. Lincoln can
not unto the party he must be defeated"

IT is now settled that all farmers doing
q business Of over one thousand dollars a
year, are to annually pay license of ten
dollars. Teachers, clergymen, clerks and
mechanics have to take out this license
as well as farmers. This is not the worst
of it. If Old Abe's administration is to
continue another four years these licenses
and all other taxes will more than double.
If you desire TO diminish taxation vote

chance of recovery to a sound condition
of national prosperity.

THEIR PARTICULAR MERITS.
The show of horses, cattle and sheep,
both as to number and excellence, was
particularly attractive, exhibiting very
great improvement in breed and care,
within the last five years, when but COM
paratively few, except those of low grades,
could be found in the county. In farm
implements the mower, buggy horse-rake'
horse pitchfork, wheat and corn cultva-
tors, &C., &c, evinced clearly that we are
living in an age of improvement, and that
the day of "slow-coach" farm imple-
ments is rapidly waning away, and that
of fast-issues dawning upon the success
ful farmer The seventy entries in the
dairy and domestic products department
show that our good housewives are alive
TO duty and obligation, and are instant in
every good work and are alike Eat home"
in kitchen and parlor. In the entire his
tory of the Fairs of the Society no repre-
sentation of needle and fancy work that
can compare at all favorably with that of
last week has ever been had. The arli-
cles of interest were far too numerous for
us to mention, but such rs will be readily
imagined by the reader, consisting of arti-
cles of delicate needlework, bed-quilts,
coyerlets, &C., &c. The Ladies Benevo-
lent Society, of Lamont, had a fine dis
play of articles, for sale, on exhibition.
The fruit display was very fine and ex-
tensive, making the mouths of passers.by
water generally and creating an almost
Unsuitable longing for the privilege of par
taking of the rich pulp concealed within
SO attractive rind Of red, purple and Or
ange hues. What was true of the dis
play of fruit was equally true of that of
vegetables and samples of farm produce
good, very good.
THE FLOWING MATCH
was entered upon with great zeal and
spirit Of rivalship-the trial taking place
on tho farm of Mr.. Sylvester Combs, near
Lamont, six horse-teams appearing all
buckled for the contest, and so equally in
every respect was the labor performed
that the judges awarded to each Compel
itor an equal premium.
THE RACES.
Several scrub-races took place du-
ring the several days of the Fair, to the
great delight of the boys and the fun
loving, at which small sums of money
changed pockets and the wisdom teeth of
more than one green 'un cut for the first.
On Friday the trial speed of trotters, for
a premium Of $l5, took place-a mile TO
be passed over on the course within three
aud half minutes. This was easily ac-
complished by a noble animal owned BY
Mr.. VIM. Thompson, Of Crockery-no
competitor appearing in the field. The
time made was excellent, considering that
five rounds had to be passed on the course
to accomplish the mile. In this conuec-
| lion Il MIGHT be mentioned that Mr. r.

AhLANDER REETCEn.

In all political discussions, falsehood and
personal abuse make more enemies than
friends for the cause which requires such
means for its support Mr.. B. 81. BOYER,
who is running as the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Sixth District, will pro-
badly find, by the time the canvass is over,
that, in falsely impeaching the character OF
his opponent, Mr. GEORGE BULLOCK, he has
only injured himself In q late number of
the Horristown National Defender, which
has been advocating Mr.. BoYER's election
with much more zeal than wisdom and
decency, there was recently published an
article in which Mr.. BULLOCK is openly
charged with having used his contracts for
furnishing the army with cloth to swindle
the Government out of two hundred and odd
thousand dollars. This assault was inspired
by the meanest sort OF partisan malice, and
was wholly without warrant or justification Of
any kind, as we shall presently show.
There are but few persons In this commu-
nifty whose character for amiability and un-
blemished integrity stands higher than that
Of Mr.. BULLOCK. Those who know him at
all know that he could not be guilty Of a
dishonest act or intention, and with such per-
SONS " Is not necessary to refute 80 unworthy
an asSeruon as that TO which we have above
AZ should however, be stated that,
% "n nun having realized exorbitant or dis
hohesI piohis on his contracts. Mr.. BUIIoCK
VIII incur very heavy loss in consequence of a
great rise In the prices Of labor and r,otoriols
since he undertook TO supply the War Denart-
ment with blue kerseys. "rhe GoverpmsDt -
says a local contemporary, in alluding 10 ,b,s
matter,
as now paying $3.50 for the same goods that
Mr.. Bullock Is furnishing for S3BO per yard

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-10-10

furnish one million of yards Of cloth Mt 79f
" cents per yard, after which the Govern neit M
" creased the contract CITY per cent. IN the am {
." Of cloth TO he supplied, with no increa of
price, though the market price had greAl al
" Val ced. The Government now pays OF or ~ q
" ties 81 675. Since the date Of Mr. Bu ck's
" contrntt W. o' has risen IN value from Is o ~
" cents per pound, the WAGES Of labor have in.
creased City per cent, coal has advanced In
price SO rer on, indigo 81 per pound aud he
tariff fifty per cent. Mr. Bullock asked q h,vo
" the tim, for fulfilling his engagements cx-
tended, hut his request was refused an IN q
result g. him will be a loss OF from $40 0Ol o
$4,000. These facts arc quite hici n 20
reinte the chiRcs made in thC n riistJwn
Nad0Ha Defendcy."
If Mr.. BULLOCK has been successful in his
business, he owes that success 10 his industry,
intelligence, and probtyi and we feel quite
justified in saying that in all the work he has
done for the Government during this war he
asked no iavors and received none, while in
the general result the balance Of benefit aud
obligation lies on the side Of the Governm ,nt
As regards Mr.. BULLoCK's nomination for
Compress, it is well known in his District that
so far from seeking the honor, he positively
declined Il for several weeks, and was at last
prevailed on by the earnest, persistent entreaty
VI ulr Hcl"huoIs anu lIltuuh 10 1lelu up MS
own wishes and private interests 20 their i'm
portunity. He has not gone out Of his way
nor made any personal effort 10 secure his
election; and as he is not politician in the
ordinary acceptation Of that term, and is not
ambitious Of political distinction, we are quite
sure that he would have preferred to avoid
engaging at all in that sort Of contest for
popular suffrage in which, to the discredlt Of
political morality in this country, as elsewhere,
the purest reputation and the most eminent
personal virtue are no protection against the
most shameless calumny.
But the very qualities which unfit Mr..
GEORGE BULLOCK for the vulgar, and too
often dishonorable, arts and expedients Of the
professional politician, render him q highly
meritorious candidate for the Office for which
he has been nominated; and should he be
elected, as we sincerely hope he may be, the
people of the Sixth District will be represented
in Congress by gentleman OF sound practical
sense and large business experience, and
whose character for sterling honesty and
manly candor is as far above the reach of
detraction as his patriotism and loyalty are
above reproach.
