The Fair.

We trust it is unnecessary to say much
in behalf of the forthcoming fair. Our
people fully understand its Importance; (;
and we have no doubt will exhibit that
public spiritedness which is necessary to
secure grand success. Let all who have
any thing at all worthy of exhibition be
on hands. Don't let the thought, that
the chances for premiums are against you,
prevent the exhibition of your commodi-
ties. Bring on your agricultural products
your stock, your farming implements,
&c. Let those who come from abroad
see what we produce. We expect to see
one of the largest and most interesting
exhibitions ever witnessed in our county.
Doubtless, there will be great demand
for stock of all kinds by dealers from
abroad. The trotting match, too, prom
ises to be most interesting, as competition
can come from abroad.

How United We Are

The Democracy of New York in State
Convention, belder if not better than the
same persuasion in Pennsylvania, have
come out squrely for the ''plan of Presi-
dent johnson for the speedy restoration
of the States lately in rebellion to their
old position in the Union, and pledged"
to him their "cordial and energetic sup
port" In passing, we will take occasion
to congratulate the conntry that the de-
mocracy of New York has taken so de.
eided anti-slavery ground for if the
Prsldents 'plan" has kernel in it, it is to
be found in the fact that he insists there
shall be no more slavery in the land and
that colored, like white men, shall have
their rights. Now it is something to have
lived for, osee aparty whose High Priests
doratio Seymour subscribe to this faith
We may have our own notions as to how
honest they are; the homage to priciple
is as significant as though Dean Rich
mend, Peter Cagger, and the other lead
ers, had not all their lives fished in the
corruptest school of politics the world ev
er saw. If they are not saints they have
found out they must make professions or
go under forever. In fact, this is pretty
much all there is of it, As near as we
can understand, President johnson quite
appreciates the gentlemen. and, like a
true Christian, proposes to give them the
benefit of his prayers, as the only thing
he can do for them.
1t has been said that the New York
Democracy have "gone in to win"
We suspect this is the Intention
The nomination of Major General
Slocum indicates as much. The
General, it is understood, dictated
the platform before consenting to
stand. He is no politician, has new
er been in public life, except as an
army officer, and it is to be wonder
ed at that he should consent 20 accept
the nomination, which eontemplates
in exchange of twelve thousand for
a three thousand dollar salary, un-
less, pereeiving he would soon have
to leave the military, he took the
first chance to get into political en-
ployment
1t makes one jolly to think how
united we are-to see how hearty
and earnest in the anti-slavery cause
Dean Richmond and the rest of the
Old Hunkers in New York have be-
come !-Eg.

TRIAL OF WIRZ.
No Excuse for Star sing Prisoners,

WAsHINGToN, September The rec
ord of yesterday having been read, Ber-
nard Callahan, of the Second Ohio Regi-
ment, testified as to the shooting and
killing of five or six Union prisoners in
the stoekade during July and August,
1864. One Of the men was in the act of
washing his clothes, and another was
trading boots with the guard. Wirz
struck the witness for not answering TO
his name, which had been incorrectly
called, and then the prisoner tied his
arms and legs together with his own hands
fastening them with a stick. He was
kept in that position for two hours and a
half. Witness had seen. a man who was
badly bitten by the hounds.
Cross examined by Mr. Baker,-He
was present at the hanging of six raiders
by our own men. He had nothing to do
with the trial of the raiders. He was
bucked on the 18th of May for no other
reason than that he failed to answer at
roll call to the wrong name
Jno. W. Case, of the 47th regiment,
testified that on the 18th of September
those who were sick and wounded were
told that if they could get TO the depot
without assistance, they could do So
They were to be exchanged. Witness
could not readily get into the cars with
his crutchcs, when Wirz called him "a
id Yankee s-n of b-h," and threat
ened to blow his brains out. Somebody
shot at him previously, but struck anoth-
er person. He was not near the dead
line. The sentinel cried out "Halt,
Yank, I'm gwine to shoot" Witness
said four or five were shot in the head
Shooting men was common, occurrence
every night He frequently heard men
crying murder.
ross-examined by Mr.. Baker.-Wit-
ness heard sentinel say that he receiv-
ed furlough for thirty days for every
Yankee he killed. He knew men were
shot during the night, because he saw
their bodies the next morning.
Question-"Capt. Wirz never hurt
you?"
Answer-"No."
Questionable only threatened you ?"

daughter.
Edward Richardson, resident of AL
bany, Ga, for twenty-three years, testified
that that place is forty five miles from An
dersonville He was at Andersonville
every month in the year 1864, until Au-
gust There was a good corn crop in '63,
but not much wheat. There were many
sweet potatoes in 1864 A large wheat
crop was planted, but the rain destroyed
it. The plantations in the vicinity Of
Andersonville were large, and the farmers
raised vegetables for their OWL use.
Observation-Disclosures said in two
warehouses in Andersonville there was
considerable bacon, syrup and corn meal.
There was not much garden truck in '64.
There Was difficulty in obtaining seed.
Mr.. Baker said the prisoner was not
well to-day. He was suffering with pains
in the head and breast and troubled with
bowel complaint. If the court could nog
adjourn for the remainder of the day il
would be a great favor to him. The
court at one o'clock adjourned, Maj. Gen
Wallace saying that the prisoner would
receive medical attendance.

FROM FLORIDA.
FEELING OF THE PEOPLE.

New YORK, September T. TIE Tri-
bune correspondent, writing from Jacks
vile Florida, August 22d, says: On the
surface everything is quiet in Florida,
but social, moral and political elements
are ceaselessly at work. The Governor
still remains at the capital, close observ-
er of the temper of the people and of
passing events. 1t is evidently not his
intention to be in hurry about calling a
convention to frame constitution, yet
the delay willnot be very ag! eeable to the
people. They are anxious on many accounts
toexchange martial for civil rule. The idea
that all their principal town are garrison
ed by colored troops is not agreeable to
their old prejudices. They want the an
cicnt order of affairs restored.
We are left mostly to conjecture in re-
gard to the reasons which have induced
the Governor TO postpone or at least de-
lay the call of the Convention. His in
structions from the President in reference
to the freedmen are full and definite, and
he has an idea of kind of constitution
by Congress. He fears that the people
do not sufficiently comprehend their chan
ged situation and the duties growing out
of the new order of things to act safely
in the matter He is anxious to secure
Convention whose action will be accep-
table to the sovereign Government at
Washington, and at the same time receive
the.popular Endorsement at home. On
his arrival among us he issued his proc
lamation or address, and delivered speech
es at Jacksonville, Lake City and Talla-
hasse, and scattering among the people
ideas which, in his judgement, must be
incorporated in the new State Govern
ment He is now found every day at
the Governor rooms in the State house,
receiving visits, hearing complaints, lear
ming the views of the people, and giving
them his own He is often comforting
with Maj. Gen Foster, Commandant of
that Department, and thus is educating
and preparing Florida for her new condi-
tion.

The Trial of Wirz

Is still progressing. 1t is perfectly as
founding and horrifying to read of the
horrible barbarities that were inflicted
upon the poor defeaccless Union prison
ers at Andersonville, ,and elsewhere, while
under the control of tide "Southern Chiv-
airy" and our "Southern Brethren" as
their admirers and sympathizers have been
pleased to call them. The evidence
brought to light from day to day as the
trial progresses, is of such a character as
to leave not even shadow of doubt as to
the guilt of Wirz, of the grossest inhu-
manity and of malicious, willful, syste-
matte and premeditated murder. JUS
tice should lie meted out to all such bar
barians. We owe it to the memory of
the fallen braves, whose sufferings aud
dying groans appeal to US for the infic-
ton of justice upon their merciless op-
pressors and murderers. From the signs
of the times, it may be plainly inferred
that our government intends to bring all
such offenders to trial and if guilty, in
flict upon them the penalties of a viola
ted law.

Bs9~ In our last issue we published a
certified list of those who had failed to
report, &c There are doubtless names
init who have been in the service-prob-
ably some of them at the time they were
drafted. 1t is the duty of all such to see
to it that their record is corrected, Tor
this record is official; and if they have
any reason to show why they should not
remain In this record as they are now
found, they should do so at once. We
give this as our opinion. If any one in
this list who has good reason for asking
to be stricken off, and has failed to bring
the facts to the knowledge of the proper
officers it is his own fault.

THos. ROBINSON, ESQ. Dear SIR
I, as one of the 14th Pennsylvania Caval-
ry, should certainly consider myself very
ungrateful, if l should not return to you
and our Butler county friends, our sincere
thanks for the very active, persevering
and successful efforts used in our behalf,
in procuring for the Regiment its final
discharge.
| am authorized by many of the enlist
ed men of the 14th. to tender to you and
others of the Borough of Butler, this ex-
preston, ''of their gratitude for the ex-
ertions put forth, and without which, the
regiment might have remained out on the
frontiers these many months doing no
good to the Government or any one else ;
and of no use except to feed up pack of
officers, too lazy and proud to work, and
who, if mustered out, would have but ht-
