committees, who, we doubt not, did jus
tice. We noticed some pens of sheet
from out Of the county, and of these {
large exhibition by J. Hines e. Son, o
Brandon. Some individuals of these lot.
were hard to beat 10y Addison County
breeders.
Though the show of Horses was moi
large, there were a goodly number of fine
animals--most noticeable, Mr.. Ticknor's
pair of Blacks. Another fine pair were
Geo. lIammond's horse and n colt owned
by Col. Stowel. H. +. Dean showed Il
fine pair of Mazeppa Bays, and Capt.
VIM. Moore very promising pair OF
colts. Mr.. Williamson aud Mr.. Sam
son had beautiful teams. Z. c. Eells.
VIM. Delong, Lewis Hope, VIM. Lang
worthy, II. Mash, and others exhibited
very fine single drivers
The contest for the premium on Fast
Horses was between G.. :. Wainwrlght's
bay mare, seven years old, and mare
owned by s. Doanc, of Shoreham. The
race was spirited, and excited much in
terest. 1t was won by the Wainwright
mare i'll PA. The very able address,
by Mr.. Clark, was listened to by the
immense audience with marked interest.
The Fort Edward Band gave us, as they
never fail to, music of the first order. The
exhibition was throughout orderly, and
we heard of nothing that need to jar the
sensibilties Of anybody, if we except II
few tuilins accidents of driving on the
! track.
az 1t is expected that the Wirz trial
will soon come to close, as the evidence
tor the prosecution is all in. and the de-
fence, for lack Of means, will not procure
any more.
One of their witnesses was arrested in
the courtroom, for the same crime Wirz
is charged with, and will, doubtless, meet
the same fate. The progress of the trial
ELECTS nothing new of special interest,
but is a repetition of the recital of hor-
rors, which make humanity shuddcr.-
The investigation continues to make it
more certain that tire true responsibility
rests with the higher officials of the con-
fcdcrate government, and if the powers at
Washington do there duty, not few
men, who have been in high position,
and some, who have received executive
pardon, will have an opportunity, if they
can, TO prove their innocence Of the most
revolving crime of the century.
WITHOUT DEBATE AND WITHOUT Ar-
PLAusE.-The South Carolina Convention
now in session, has repealed the Ordnance
of Secession, "without debate and with
out applause, only three members voting
nay" 1t must have been most solemn,
funercal business to cntomb this monstros-
ity, which had fetal growth of Il gener-
alton and mundane existence of less than
five years. 1t has been the procuring
cause of more crime and woe than
the world ever saw in any other twenty
years. The world will hold South Car
DINA and her statesmen responsible tor the
war and its consequences. The tens Of
thousands of millions of money sunk-thc
wide spread dcsolation,- the countless
lives lost are the fruit of the mad am
bition and folly Of the proud spirits who
drove the south into rebellion. They are
now a sadder and wiser people. As
PROSTATE in spirit as in their material in
terests, they meet and "without debate
and without applause" proceed to put
out of sight the evidence of their folly
and crime. Certaily, Their, was no room
for debate, and who could look for ap-
Ii"uHO uiiuSi Sucil CiICulllStdnccs. SOutn
Carolina pride is gone forever. If its
roots should ever send up any sho,ts,
they would wither at the mention of the
ordnance of secession, just repealed
without debate"
The New York Republicans met in
convention, at Syracuse, on Wednesday.
and proceeded, very tremendously, TO
nominate ticket. The proposition to
take part of the Democratic ticket was
rejected, and straight Republican ticket
nominated, headed by Gen. Barlow.
The New York Republicans are evil
IDENTIFY good deal sobered, and see the
necessity of ha1nonizing their forces and
making war on the enemy instead of
among themselves. They have a good
ticket and there is good reason now to ex-
pect that they will elect it.
Gen. Jordan, Chief of staff to Gen.
Beauresari has written n letter to Hair
pers Monthly setting forth the causes of
the failure Of the rebellion and his views
are thus summed up:
