Agricultural Fair.

The President of the Agricultural So

to meet in TIE Sherffs Office on Saturday
the 5th of September, for the purpose of
taking such action as may be thought
right towards having fair this fall. We
are glad to see this. Till the people are
advised officially that a fair will be had,

The Politics of Pennsylvania
and the Returned Soldiers.

There was a meeting Of returned sold
iers held at National Hall, In Philadel-
phia, on Saturday last, which Col. w.
Forpey, on invitation, addressed at con-
siderable length. In the course of his
address, the Colonel took occasion to
thank the soldiers for their manifold SER
vices, and warmly expressed the univer-
sal gratitude to them, which would be
undying, for. responding to the call of
their country. Coming to speak of re-
wards he said the Republic had no ade-
quate bcunties, but with politicians eye
he perceived that, "apart from the graf
q itude that should make the manifesto
"tion spontaneous, the politician will
find it to his interest to discriminate in
favor of the soldiers in making nomi-
I" nations for officers of trust or emolu-
" msnt. Let us look at the figures" /"
said the speaker, who then proceeded to
say:
"There are over $50, 900 voters in this
State-aud it is a low estimate that of
the $780, 900 men sent from Pennsylvania
to the field, exclusive of those she loaned
to other States, 100000. were voters :

and of welding an almost controlling in

the suffrage of the fighting men can be,
the home vote of 1863, by which your
good friend, Governor Curtin, was re elec-
ted, and the tremendous majorities of
1854, in favor of Abraham Lincoln, the
martyred President Of the United States,
may be cited with wholesome admonition.
Will it be said that there is not an amount
Of ability and experience among these

eloquence on the forum and his bravery
on the field, l do not think that harm
would come of it: nor yet that our crest

A Chance for the Gable Yet,

Although anything lying on the bot,
tom of the Ocean, at the depth of nine
teen hundred and fifiy fathoms, or near
ly two miles, would commonly be regard
ed about as totally lost as anything could
be, the attempt at regaining it before the
Great Eastern left the spot shows that
had there been on board the right kind
of machinery, the acciIen. would have
been temporary and may even yet be re-
paired. The chance for it now is in the
Great Eastern, after obtaining the need
full machinery, finding the buoy which
marks the spot where the cable lies bu-
risd. The next attempt at graphing
will be made one hundred miles east of
the break, at fifteen hundred fathoms
depth-provided the spot is found, which
after all, as we have said, would seem to
be the only question. How long it will
be before the Great Eastern will return
to the undertaking, nothing is said We
conclude it will not be many days-Pias

March OfFreedOn.

1t might appear presumptous and even
arrogant to claim, as consequence OF
emancipation in our country, the move
ments in favor of human liberty that are
occurring abroad. But it is gratifying,
whatever the impulse that led to it, to
learn that nations which have been long
est and most extensively connected with
slavery and the slave trade are consider
ing the evil and wrongs connected with it,
and are contemplating its abolition
Spain aud Portugal we're the first to en-
gage in the traffic of African slaves, and
they have persisted in it, either openly or
clandestinely, for over three hundred ard
fifty years. Other nations which partici-
pated in it Gas nearly all did, abandoned
it under the influence of higher civil
ization, and purer christianity. The
regency Of our abandonment of the for
eign trade, and the circumstances of our
abolition cf the domestic institution,
leave us little GROUND for boasting, how
ever much we may have for gratitude
In Spain society has been formed for
the abolition of slavery in the colonies,
and for the suppression of the slave trade.
This society promises to be effective, since
it embraces among its members mobiles,
ministers of the crown, priests, and other
influential persons.
The King of Portugal in closing the
late session of the Cortes, the legislative
body, announced that at the next session
strict law would be proposed for the alb
clifton of slavery in all the Portuguese
dominions.
In Brazil, the great slaveholdipg EN-.
pire of the Western Contiusat. measures
have been inaugurated by the govern
ment, which are expected to eventuate
in the gradual but speedy abolition of
slavery in that country.
The commencement of such measures,
in these veteran slave countries gives as.
surancc that they WILL be prosecuted to
the accomplishment of the object. The
number of slaves under these different
governments is large, amounting, per-
haps, to nearly as many as We had four
years ago in the United States. The
cause of human freedom is thus advanc-
ing. May virtue religion and happiness
among men advance with equal peace

Amount of Losses by Ketchum
Forgery.

NFw Yong, August 20.-The Herald
says the assignments of Morris Ketchum
the senior member of the firm, having
included all his property in his transfer
for the benefit of his creditors, renders
the attachments that have been issued of
no account whatever. Mr.. Ketchum's
estate will probably be divided among
his creditors equally, according to the
amount of tneir claims. But a small
amount which be held in trust for his
children has been reserved. The total
value CT the property thus assigned is
stated to be two OF two and half mill
ions of dollars; about equivalent to the
losses of the firm. The statement of these
losses will soon be complete. A claim
about $4,000 for bonds said to have
been among the securities distracted by
young Ketehum, was made yesterday.
and it is likely to prove the only one that
has been left outstanding. Mr. Charles
Graham, the broker of Edward B. Ket-
chum, has nearly completed bis account
of losses. They will amount exclusive
of the forged paper which he redeemed
to about 81 ,045, 900, which with the S2S5
600, for which he holds forged certif-
Gates. will swell the total to 81 100000,
including the money stated to be the los
ses of the Importers and Traders Bank,
the Fourth National Bank, Dabney, Nor
gan & Co., and Ketchum & Co., who
held $4,000 worth Of the forged paper.
The whole sum Of the losses by the Ket-
chum defalcatian will certainly not much
exceed S4,000,000, Mr.. Graham will
speedily effect settlement with his cred
itors.' About forty per cent. of the claims
against him win no doubt be paid.

The Rev. Mr.. SpurgeOn.

This preacher is one Of the celebrities
of London His church, OF vast dimen-
sions, is visited by strangers from abroad
in great numbers. They do not find it a
piece of splendid architecture, to be gaz-
ed at, but spacious and convenient place
for the accommodation of an immense as
sembly worshipping GoD. The congre-
cation to which he breaches is said to
number no less than eight thousand per-
sons, not composed, as many congregations
are, chiefly of women, but the larger por-
tion are men.
Mr.. Spurgeon breaches to this gsAat
assembly the plain truths of the gospel
in plain way. Many effect to sneer at
him, bis congregation and his work, but
his infssnee is on the increase, and, with
it, his usefulness. The common people
hear him gladly. and none the less to their
bene6t and satisfaction, that fashionables
and christians Of the dilettant sort affect
to saeer at his name. The great secret of
his power lies in the npdoubted earnest
ness with which be propounds important
truths. The style Of bis composition is
known throughout the world. by the thou
sands and tens of thousands Of his pub
lished sermons, which are printed just as
be euttefs them 10 the pulpit.-Pats, Com.

ra The proceedings of the State Con

No. The proceedings of the State Con-
vention, which is found in our paper this
week, will be read with interest, by the
friends of the Union everywhere.
Our State has always been looked upon
as the keystone" of the Federal Union
Most nobly has she made good her claim
to that honorable appeliation, through the
great struggle which we have just passed
1t was natural, therefore, that great inter-
est was felt in the action of the Loyal
people of the State, in Convention as
sembled; and it is now gratifying to know
that, that action has been in harmony With
our history. Not only have the thanks
of the people been rendered to "our coun--
tries brave defenders" but, in the nomi
nation of two distinguished soldiers for
the only offices in the gift of the party,
they have been assured that our party is
not ungrateful.
Entire harmony tco, seems to have
prevailed, which was an agreeable sur
prise to some who feared that the selfish
ness Of aspirants might disturb its har.
mony. We recognize the selection of
the Hon. Joka Cessna, of Bedford, as
chairman of the State Executive Com
nittee as triumph of the people over
the schemes of designing camp followers;
and fresh evidence of the fact that,
"The best laid schemes

We would advise all to read the resolu-
tions carefully; they are full of interest.

Reports of outrages upon Union men
ia North Carolina continue to be received.
1t is said that two women, who had been
sent to Fayetteville to open a school for
colored children, we're not permitted TO
land, and we're informed by the Sheriff
that if they were men, they would be
served as such people were before the
war. A negro was recently strung up by
one of the civil officers lately appointed
by Gov. Holden. Army officers aye look
ed npon with great contempt. Fayette-
vile has been garrisoned by colored sol

General Wool and Jef. Davis.

We find the following anecdote re-
sepGtsng Gen Wool in the st. Paul
(Minn.) Press:
Fort Smelling, Nay 28, 1865.-When
JEFF. Davis was returning from Buena
Vista, Mexico, to the States, with his
regiment, he called on Gen. Wool who
was then in command of that department,
and asked for teams to draw the mems
knapsacks. The General informed him
that the transportation was all engaged
in removing the ordnance from the coun-
try, therefore it vas impossible to accom-
modate him, JEFF. insisted until he had
introduced the subject the third time,
wherenpoH the old regular told him he
would hear no more about the matter
jeff took his leave suddenly, telling the
General to 60 to hell. The General told
him if he would repeat the words he
would put him under arrest. JEFF. re-
peated the words aud took to his heels
down the street, pursued by the writer of
this article, who was on guard at the door
during the co4Versation, and was ordered
by the General to arrest him. JEFF. saw
that he was coming out second best in the
race, and made a flank movement through
a Mexican house into the back yard,
which was inclosed by high wall that
could not be scaled, where the guard kept
him until the officer of the guard and 4
men came The officer of the guard in
formed the Colonel that he was his pris-
oner, and that he had orders to take him
to General Wool's headquarters. The
Colonel said he would 60. The officer re-
piled if he said he would 90, that was
enough; but judge of his astonlshment
when he saw the perfdious JEFF. stake to
his heels again down the street: This

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The County Commissioners held special
session this week and transacted considerable
business.
They allowed parties to go on and build a
road from Junction Bart Yuba; and others
to- commence a road from the western line of
Ada county about fifteen miles easterly of
Boise city via Volcano district to what is
known as Goose Greek on Snake River by an
entirely new wagon route-but they will not
give any license until any road is fully COM
pleted and viewed, ana the viewers report
made TO the Board.
They have also ordered the Road Supervi-
sors to go to work at once and make roads
They appointed J. D. Heath at Yuba city,
and John Shively at Alturas city, Justices Of
the Peace, and John Enright and P. Hoff,
ConStables.
Also ordered to communicate with Ada
county aud for each to send their county
Surveyor and run the boundary line to mark
out the boundary between the two counties.
This is because persons on the road between
this and Boise city claim to have paid taxes
in Boise now Ada J county, whilst the As
SCISSOR of this county assessed them.
The question of disagreement regarding
the
BOUNDARY LINE
of Boise and Alturas counties should also be
settled. Boise county we understand claims
Silver city, and men who were there last
winter say its waters run into the North Fork,
and it is therefore supposed that it must
necessarily bein this county, and it will re-
main thus until the line is examined and ac-
curately known. So rich place as Silver
city is of course worth having to either
county and each wants it if it belong to it.
The rivers and creeks are falling very rap
idly. Placer miners on, Feather river and
Red Warrior are just beginning to take out
money. At Yuba the rivers are yet too high;
but gulches and bars can be worked to ad-
vantage.
