The Fair.

| Our Monmouth County Agricultural Fair,
which closed on the 2lst inst, was visited
| by more persons than were ever present at
any other time since its establishment. The
products Of the county that were exhibited,
testified to the rich fertility of our land,
while implements of husbandry and hand
some carriages spoke equally well for our
mechanical arts
The ladies' display of all kinds, and de-
scriptions Of plain and fancy needle work,
called forth the highest encorniums from
those competent to judge, and we are told
that it is often very difficult in this, as it is
also in the fine arts department, to bestow
special praise in the awarding of premiums,
since so many perfect and beautiful speci-
mems are exhibited
Not altogether an insignificant part in tn
entertainments of the Fair were the crack
Monmouth teams and single in harness."
as good many good people know, and those
who have the least taste for the "ribbons,"
or are at all interested in our superior stock
of horses, enjoy beyond measure the pleasant
excitement Of the course. At these Annual
Fairs thousands of people congregate, and
every part Of the county, and we may say
that every county in the State, sends its re-
presentatives, so that one desirous of seeing
his friends, and having hearty shake of the
hand and good word once a year, can 60 to
no better place, or to one where the amuse-
nents are more innocent and praiseworthy.
A list of the premiums awarded will be
found on our first page.

Organize for victory.

The campaign has opened most auspiciously
for the triumph of the Union party in New
Jersey. If it is CARED or with as much vigor
and energy as is now evinced, Marcus L. Ward
will be the next Governor of New Jersey and
the constitutional amendment will be ratified
But our friends must organize thoroughly and
without delay in all the wards and townships
of the State. There must be work done by
every individual in his own locality, and the
canvass must be made of the voters. If the
State and County Committees are ever so eff
fcient and active, that alone will not elect our
ticket. There are multitudes of honest men,
who have heretofore acted with thedemocratic
party, who are heartily ashamed of the compa-
ny of the copperheads, and tho leadership of
such men as Runy0n. Jack Rogers, and G,
Chauncey Burr. They should be visited, rea-
soned with, enlightened and brought into active
cooperation with us. In unity of action there
is strengh-in thorough organization lies the
secret of political success. Organize, Unionsts-
without delay

Fire.

On Friday night last about IL o'clock, .
fire broke out in the upper part of the store
occupied by Messrs. Davis & Burtis, in this
village. Its timely discovery prevented "a
disastrous confagration. The close prox-
unity of other buildings, and the late hour
at which the fire took place, added to the
great scarcity Of water, were all favorable to
a sweeping fire. The loss was very light,
and fully insured. brs .f~
The fire was the work of an incendiary.
A reward Of $500 has been offereffor the
apprehension of the parties who set fire to
the building
And this brings the matter home to US in
regard to our condition in case Of large
fire. We think it about time that there was
some kind of fire organization and appara-
tus in our village. A fire engine probably
could be bought just now at low figure, As
many of the engines of the old fire depart
ment in New York are being sold. Who
will move in the matter?
The subscribers take this method Of return
inc their most sincere and heartfelt thanks to
their friends who SO promptly and earnestly
rendered them such invaluable assistance in
subduing the fire which broke out in their store
on Friday night last and shall ever feel that it
is owing entirely to their exertions that their
property was saved from total destruction.

Let it not be forgotten that General Runyon,
the copperhead candidate for Governor, said
in his speeches at Somerville, in Jersey City
and elsewhere last fall, when he was stumping
for McClelan
"No minion who wears the livery of Abe Lin
coin ought to be allowed to apprc ach within
one mi e of the polls on election day"
And he said this while the brave soldiers of
the Union were fighting rebels around Rich
mond and all the way from Chattanooga to the
sea- and while Abraham Lincoln was devoting
his most earnest labors to save the Union, for
whose sake he was finally murdered by disci-
Pile Of the secession, state rights school. II
Runyon had never uttered any other infamous
sentiment but this, he would have said enough
TO render him unworthy to receive the vote Of

How the Campaign is Going.

No political canvass in New Jersey ever
opened more auspiciously than the present
for the Union cause. The meetings held
have been attended by such multitudes as
rarely assemble Doubtless the name of the
gallant and dashing Gen. Fitzpatrick does
much to draw out the crowds, but the meet
ings where the General is not present, are,
in all cases, successes. AT Newark, on Sat
urday evening, an extra meeting was held in
Library Hall, which was addressed by Gen.
Swift, Il. n. Cougar, Esq, and Maj. Pang-
born. Although it was market night, and
the fifth Union meeting of the week, the
Hall was packed with a dense multitude,
many ladies being in the audience. The
enthusiasm was irrepressible, and, in spite
of the lateness of the hour and the exhaus-
ton of the speakers, the audience would not
excuse them, and the meeting was kept up
till eleven o'clock. Gen. Swift's speech. eli
cited the most vocferous applause, and was
a most eloquent and stirring effort. Few
men have the power of Speech" in the
same degree, as Gen. Swift, and he is render
ing most essential service to the cause of
Ward and the Union. At Trenton, Borden
town and Burlington, immense meetings
were held last week. and were addressed by
Gems Fitzpatrick and Swift. West Jersey is
all right for the cause, and coppcrheadismi is
nowhere" in that region. At Elizabeth
City, on Saturday night, Gen. Fitzpatrick and
Col. Hawkins addressed an immense meet
ing, and the campaign was mostauspiciously
opened in Union county. Everywhere tile
camp fires are kindling and burning brightly.
Let all our friends take courage and work
together, and New Jersey will be redeemed.

Copperhead Love for Soldiers.

The following from the Belvidere Intelligent
GER furnishes fresh illustrations of the copper
head affection for the 'boys in blue:
One or two cases of how the Copperheads Of
this county love the Union soldiers, have come
10 our notice, which have not yet appeared in
print. When soldier from this town, who had
been prisoner, in Richmond, and returned to
his home wounded, was nominated for the Of
flee of Judge of Election every Copperhead in
town who had a vote, cast it against him ! And
they love the soldiers! A soldier in Hope town
ship, who had served one term in the Union ar
my, was afterwards drafted, and put in a sub
stitute, was refused vote by the Copperhead
officers Of election, and compelled to swear il
in And yet they love the soldiers! So does a
cat love a mouse. But this is in strict accor-
dance with the idea Of the little rebel candidate
for Governor, who declares that ''no minion OF
old A be Lincoln should be allowed to come
within one mile of the polls on election day"

Notice to the Unionists of New Jersey.


The Union State Executive Committee
have been compelled by the press of business
at the branch office in New York, to secure
more commodious quarters. The rooms of
the committee have therefore been removed
from III Broadway to the National Hotel
Cortlandt street, Parlor No. l, near the Lib
erty street entrance, No. 81. Our friends
from New Jersey are invited to call at 81
Liberty street. Application for speakers for
public meetings, or for campaign documents,
may be made at those rooms to Maj T. K
Pangborn, or Col. Edward Jardine, and the
committee rooms will be open every day lex
cept Sundays from 8 A. NJ. to 4 p NJ. Un-
ion newspapers in this State are requested
to copy this notice.

The Prospect.

The Democratic press just now finds little
on which to vault itself Every one must
remark how dumb it is with respect to all
the recent elections. Kentucky, even though
it has such powerful reasons for hugging
slavery, in consideration of the vast amount
of wealth it has heretofore reckoned in flesh
and blood, barely gives majority for a can
didate who represents .copperheadism, and
its Senate is a tie. Vermont, by her vote,
shows proportionately larger Union majo, :
ity than ever; and Maine does so even more
glorously. In these latter ctA1 he cop
perheads even praised Andre son, and
adopted platforms which UH hen could
not object to, Nevertheless the people knew
the men. The wolf may put on sleeps
clothing, but he is a wolf still. There is no
hope forssuch people as have engineered the
copperhead machine that their sins will be
forgotten. Sympathizers with rebellion may
trim their, boats as they please, they will
Dever catch a breeze that will take them
where, they, want to go. The New York
Democracy are making trial. They have
taken up Republican candidates, but it is
too late. We give the Jersey copperheads
credit for more aightforwardness They
hold firmly to allither old heresies. and they
too will go down. The recent elections are
the hand writing on the wall proclaiming
the doom of copperheadism in New Jersey.

" Love me just as much as you please"

ROMANCE ON RAn-A pretty little
bit ofromance developed itself in one of
the State street cars on Friday. Among
the passengers was a pale, qniet little
woman, plainly dressed, and pretty withal.
Presently a one-legged soldier labored
into the car on his crutches. The seats
were crowded, and the soldier had to
stand. The young woman got up, pulled
the blue sleeve aud pointed to the seat
she had vacated. For the frst time. as
he turned, she had full view of his face.
and neither of them paid any more atten-
ton to the empty seat. They stared at
one another minute, and then embraced
and kissed each other with hystercal
fervor. At first, the passengers were
somewhat astonished.,at so public a de-
monstration but all of them soon Joined
in congratnlating the delighted couple on
learning that the two persons thus sudden
ly brought together were man and wife
long separated by the vicssitudes of war
The soldier ifadabeen desperately wound
ed in Tennessee and taken prisoner. He
was supposed to have been killed, and
before he was restored to freedom and able
to write, his wife, or widow, as she sup-
posed herself, removed to Chicago, and so
his letters never reached her. The poor
fellow, as soon as he could travel, set
out home, with desponding heart, to
learn why his letters had never been
answered. He reached Chicago on
Friday on his way thiSher, when the
generous impulse OF a kidd little woman
to manned soldier. brought her back a
loving husband, and threw him into, the
open arms OF wife who had long mourn,
cd him as'among thu linnumerable host
who have lain down their lives for the
salvation of their country Chicago Re
