WISCONSIN STATE FAIR.
Important Suggestion from tlie Sceres
tary Of the State Agricultural Society.

STATE AGRICULTURAL RooNs,
.. MADISON, Aug. .. !
Editors Chicago Tribune:
In yous Issue Of Friday last, In generous
notice Of tho approaching State Fair Of Wis
consin, you very properly express "regrct
that it should come in competition with an
other State Fair" referring, doubtless, to The
Iowa Fair, which occurs on the same days.
This competition is also the occasion OF much
regret on the part Of the officers Of the Wis
consin State Agricultural Society, Us It must
necessarily prevent the attendance Of many
exhibitors at onc or the other OF the Fairs,
who would have been glad to have attended
both.
The time for the Wisconsin State Fair was
fixed and published in The newspapers Of the
State as early as February 7th. Whether tho
Iowa Society determined upon the date Of
their Fair before or subsequent to this date, is
not, now, question OF any practical import
ancc; and my only object in addressing you
at this time Is, tsrst, TO assure the public that
this Society eutertains none other than tue
most cordial good will and tratcrnal regard
for the entcrprisiny Society Of the noble State
Of Iowa; and, secondly, to suggest for the
consideration Of the managers Of all future
State Fairs, The propricty Of giving iulmedl-
ate notice to the officers Of all other State AZ
ic1lltural Societies OF the time agreed upon
BY each.
The exhibitions OF this Society having been
held during the last week Of September, ever
since the year 1851 NC had supposed that our
preference for that date was generally Under
stood. Should change be made In the fu-
ture, due notice shnn be given to all the other
societies. Very respectfully,
Your obedient scrvant,,

From the Cairo Democrat, Aug. a3l.l
II is our painful dnty to record one Of. the
most atrocfous outrages eycr committed by

A short time since q party OF seven soldiers
disg1aced themselves and the uniform they
wore By going to tic wretciied hoycl Of a poor
old woman who will her three childres, rcsid-
ed short distance above this city. There
each Of them outraged hcr, and ntfcs having
accomplished their hellIsh work, robbed her
OF I'LL she possessed. ind left the house.
Some lime during the following day the
old woman managed to crawl to the residence
Of d nci.ADor-a lonn woman like herself
and there related her wrongs, and ayowea
her intcntion of ending her Life, saying that
she had no desire to exist after 30 horrible an
occurrence.
She went away, and her neighbor, thinking
that the Hvown1 had been made In dt Of
despondency which would soon pass Of,

see that the facts OF the case are altered, or
attempted to be altered, in the slightest de-
gree. Thoec facts arc as follows:
Isl. An 1ndian cncampmcnt at Sand Creek
were massacred, men, women and children,
by Col. Chiylngton and the forces under Ills
command.
I'd. The In1lnus massacred were friendly 10
