STATE FAIR-Eor the convenicr

STATE FAIR.-Eor the convenience OF
those who design attending the Fair with
their own conyeyances, an extensive and
convenient camping ground has been So
cured, capable OF accommodating twenty
thousand families, with their teams. There
will also he ample wagon yards, where
teams will be taken care of, and baggage
checked for small consideration. Feed
will also be furnished if required.
Extraordinary efforts arc being made to
make this the only Fair ever held in Nor
thern Indiana, the most successful Fair
ever held in the State. Indications point
to full realization of this anticipation

Mr.. Nattingly steps long ways out of
the path of an editor and gentlemen to
snecr at Mr. Plat Nc Donald In two re-
cent issues Of the Republican he has en-
deayored to grow witty at Platt's expense,
using as pretext for so doing, pretend
cd rumor of Platt's removal from Chicago
to Hebron Mr.. Mcdonald is residing in
Chicago, attending TO his business there,
and has not thought of removing to He
bron or elsewhere, and Mr.. Mattingly S
gratuitous assaults upon him only serve to
show how severe; the old gentlemen felt,
and how bitterly lie remembers the easti-
cations he has received at Mr. Mes hands
in former days.

Says the correspondent of the Chicago
Republicans; "Etheridgc, it seems, is to
have a trial soon for his seditious speech
es; as a Court has been organized for that
purpose. Reports are conflicting as to
where the Court will meet. Memphis and
Nashville are both spoken of ! presume
Nashville will be the place; at least, |
know that such was the intention former
", and have heard no reason assigned
for any change in the programme. This
trial viii, in many respects, be one of the
most interesting which has ever taken
place before a military commission in this
country, and will involve questions not
heretofore adjudica;ed. 1t will attract
attention throughout the country"

GOnVcE1CI-E'rOba by.

Our ne ghbor of the Republican, seems
well pleased with the Democratic Convcn-
ton of New York We are glad of it
Thousands of abolitionists have recently
seen enough of negro equality and aboli-
ton dishonesty, and are now seeking to
make amends for their past folly by uni>
ting with the Democracy in It's effort to
restore the government to the keeping of
men of capacity, honesty and correct prin-
ciPles, satisfied that the attempt to elevate
negro to the social and political level of
white man is futile and foolish If the
editor of the Republican, is disposed to
pursue this course, honestly, VIC most ccr-
taiLly approve his action and applaud his
course. We can hardly doubt his sinceri-
ty when he plainly avows that hardly a
resolution endorsed by the New York
Democratic State Convention can be COM
planned Of by loyal man." That our
readers may know the extent of the change
that has come DER the dreams of the Re
P~Lficon We give synopsis of the reso!u-
tons that he says can hardly be complain
ell of by a loyal man:
lst. Declaring the greatness, purity and
patriotism OF the Democracy.
%. Cougr,tulaiing the people on a re-
turn to peace, and au undivided country.
Sd. Demanding as the first fruits of our
triumph, the subordination of the military
to the evil authorities, and the recogni-
ton of the equality of the States; aud de-
nouncing I'll attempts to force negro
equality or negro suffrage upon any Of the
States
4th. Affirming that by leaving the
question of suffrage with the electors of
the several States, President johnson
displays wisdom, patriotism, etc, and
pledging to HIM in this regard their cor
dial support.
5;h. Advocating equal taxation, Nation
al securities included
9th. Thanks and gratitude to the sold
ier
18th. Asserting faith in the Monroe
doctrine and calling on the admnistra-
ton to enforce it.
Sth. Resolving that the frank and gen
crous spirit manifested by The Southern
people in accepting the consequences of
the war, should be met by spirit of con-
citation and Kindness in the government.
9th. Approving all Constitutional meas
ures the President may inaugurate to har-
monte the country.
Now If the editor of the Republican
can hardly fnd any fault with these reso-
lutions he is most certainly improving
rapidly in his political views, and if he
continues faithful in his new course, will
soon be an advocate Of true Democra-
cy.
Mr.. Mat'ingly is slightly in error in
stating that ''thrce of the four nominees
of the New York Convention are republi-
cans" There are ten nominees, and none
Of them are republicans. Two Of them
acted during one campaign with the re-
publican party, lnevcr with the abolition
and now declare unequiyocally for the
Democracy, and for Democratic principles,
and being peculiarly adapted for the Offices
TO which they are nominated, received the
nomination. All the others are fe-lons
Democrats. This error Of our neighbor
is doubtless caused by his being misin.
formed, and itaifords Us pleasure to correct
him.

Affairs in North CarOIina--Im-
P0rtsns Eetter from Gen. kil-
patrick.

RALEIGH, N. G., Aug l6.-Maj. Gen.
Kilpstrick has written letter to a gentle
man in this city endorsing the course of the
Raleigh Progress, and Of course, the loyal
representatives OF the Northern press, for
exposing the evil intentions of the disloyal
leaders in this State, which The General
says represents the true condition of affairs,
not only in North Carolina, but in all other
insurrecllonsry States, and these facts
should not be smothered up by the friends
Of the Government, but should be generally
known, that the people may learn the cor
rect state of things as they now exist 10 the
South which will enable them to act un-
derstaudingly and with justice to all con-
cerned The General is taking trip
trough the State
While here, the other day, he is reported
to have said, after being Informed by a
brother officer that these Provisional Gov
ernors are fzzle, that he was fearful it
would be so, and that the results SO far
show that we had commenced reconstruct
ing these disloyal Suites too soon by at
least four years; that it was unreasonable to
suppose these States would regard or re-
spect the constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery, even if they were forced to rat
ify the same in order to secure their return
to the Union; after which event it was ap-
parent, from their present conduct, that the
reign of terror existing in the South before
the war would again be realized; that these
States can then justly claim the same right
to manage their own affairs, as is awarded
Northern States, 1t is still more unreason-
able to suppose that their Representatives
in Congress will be recenciled to the exist
ence of the national debt-one of The chief
instruments by which they were subjugated
and which they must assist to pay; that
judging from the past, and from the dispo
stion Of the Southern people, dislOyalty will
increase in the South as long as premium
is offered for 1t; more especially so when
they infer they are to be still more mag
unanimously treated; hence what have they
turing the negroes for sympathizing with
the Union that the latter assisted to pre-
serve; that officers and soldiers who have
sacrificed so much for our sacred cause are
not reconciled to the immediate return of
these disloyal States to the Union, headed
by their treacherous leaders who cannot be
trusted, and who, with their Northern al
lies, stand ready the moment they are in
power to infict mortal stab in the nation 8
heart, thus accomplishing the pet desire OF
their lives, and at a time when that nation
IS weary of war and after she has bestowed
on the rebels more strength and inhu-
opcs op for ell than ever they possessed on
the the battlefield; that sith the Copporhead
party par in power comes ''ae trade, the repnGY,
,Nation of the nationa, debt, Il. the, pnnvll'
ege of these disloyal States 20 defy u.s 1oy-
ernment by re enslaving blacks, and hnai.';,
that, with the assistance of CoppGshead
Administration, they will be able to bring
about a final separation between the North
and the South. e..

UNION MEETINGS. The Uhion Exceu.
tive Committee in appointing meetings for
different parts Of the county, may not al
ways just snit the wishes Of the people in
the selection of Speakers, time and place
for holding these meetings, but they aim to
do what they regard as best for each loca-
tion. If some Of the leading men in each
township would get together with the mem.
her Of the Central Committee for their town
ship and determine when aud where meet
ings should be held, and what speakers
would be preferred, the Executive Commit
tee would very cheerfulIy comply with their
arrangement as far as possible. Now we
hope something of this kind will be done
at once, and the result communicated to
the Cothmittec.

Two WEEKS ago we published, from
the NY. Post, All account of the hor-
rors Of Andersonville and the brutality
of the man Wertz, who is to be tried
for his crimes against humanity The
account was written by "Georgian
Planter" and signed "S." The Post,
now says:
The Georgian Planter farmer
as he modestly prefers to call himself
whose account of the cruelties per-
petrated upon our poor fellows at An
dersonville we printed, is Mr.. Ambrose
Spencer, of Americas, Sumter county,
Georgia, son of the late John c.
Sumter of this State, a resident OF
Georgia for the last twenty-five years,
known as a Union man in all his sec
ton Of country during the war, and
known also to many of the best citi-
zens of this State. He was q witness
to many of the outrages and cruelties
suffered by our prisoners at the hands
of Winder and Wertz, and he has come
North, voluntarily, to bear witness
against Wertz, on his trial in Washing,
ton. This conduct, so characteristic
of son Of John G. Sepncer, and hon
orable to him, will help to secure the
ends of justice upon one of the most
cruel wrctchcs.
