ANN nrEIYAI. or rATRs.


A week or two ago we adyertod to the sub
iect Of the agricultural interests Of our State
in connection with the revival Of the State
Agricultural Bureau, and urged that the
farmers, as those most directly interested,
and the officers of the Bureau at the time it
ceased itsoperations in 1861, should immedi-
ately take steps to re-establish it, and pro-
vide for the holding Of The State Fair, and
the encouragement Of country fairs through
out the State.
The spirited and enlerprising citizens Of
our neighboring county Of Montgomery
have not waited for such action, but are
now in the midst of most interesting exhi-
bition Of farm products Of every variety.
Our reports Of yesterday and of this morn
ing show that this initial movement toward
the revival Of fairs is crowned with snc-
cess, and leaves no ground to doubt that the
policy of setting on foot the official ma
chinery provided by law to make them thor
ough and systematic is the true one.
We append some apt remarks on the sub
iect from the New York Tribune.
A modern agricultural fair proves how
all this, 1.-THE lack of enterprise has been
changed The material improvement is
marvellous as shown in increased production,
in delicate fruit, in gigantic vegetables, in
golden butter, and in stock advanced almost
to perfection. This is to be referred to
that simple principle Of competition with
out which the world would cease to move.
or would only retrograde. The prizes be-
slowed are something; but they are too
small to be regarded in the light of remu-
neration; they are like the cross of the SOL
der, OF the simple certificate of merit which
the school-boy proudly carries home. The
moral advantage is that the farmer sees
what has been achieved, and is fred with
an honorable ambition to equal or to excel.
What JOKES has done in the way of pigs,
or SMITH accomplished in the way of
pumpkins, Brown feels that he can do
and does it. But above all, in the soIemni-
ty, if we may so, Of the occasion, in the
ability of the addresses and their subject
matter, in the judicial estimate of the merits
Of the exhibitors, in the general pomp and
circumstance of the whole festive affair, the
farmer feels that the importance of his pro-
fession is admitted, that its dignity is re-
spected, and that it is recognized as the call
ing of all others with which the world is
utterly unable to dispense without lapsing
into barbarism or experiencing vast amount
of social suffering. He comes in contact
with his fellow-farmers of the county; he
gives them the ripe result of his experience
and he carries off their own in turn. In the
sharp collision of many minds all working
in one direction, there is always a birth Of
new ideas and a regenerating Of old ones.
The agricultural fairs are the farmers in
council, and the farmers are the conscript
fathers Of the republic.

From Quebec.

QUEBEC, Oct. 1S.-In addition to the loss
of property by fire, there will fall an i'm
mense loss on the stockholders Of the Local
Insurance Company, the stock Of which has
largely deprecated. Nearly all the English
companies have Withdrawn since the fire.
AT public meeting the city government
was denounced for the criminal neglect and
folly which led to so much loss Of life and
property.
Another death from injuries received at
the late fire occurred last night. Bread and
provisions are being regularly distributed,
and the sisters of charity are working night
and day. A theatrical performance was
given last night in aidof the sufferers from
the fire. The weather to-day is pleasant.

A gentleman who saw Mr.. DAVIS, in the

at the change in his appearance since last
June. There was a marked decay Of strength
and vigor. The grasp Of the hand was fec

imprisonment was telling upon the life Of

THE LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE
RAII.ROAD ROBBERIEs.


We have not heard Of any other raids up
on this line Of travel, nor have we heard Of
the arrest Of the parties concerned in the
robberies recently committed on it. A few
DAYS ago we took occasion to urge the civil
authorities to make some adequate exertion
for the arrest Of these highwaymen. We
repeat that appeal, and trust they will not
forget their duties in the premises. The
presence Of such persons, If tolerated, would
bring disgrace upon the communities IN
which they operate, and subject the public
at large to apprehensions Of possible attacks
At any time as they travel over that, or any
other road. For, il it is once established
that railroad trains carrying the money
freiahts Of the.express, and Of the company,
and Of individuals, can be stopped and riaed
with impunity, no road can consider itself
safe. and railroad robberies will soon be
elevated into the catalogue Of the regular
profession. We trust, therefore, there may
be no effort spared 70 bring the perpetrators
of the recent ouirages to speedy arrest and
punishment
We are gratifed to learn that the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad management
has taken such steps as win secure its own
trains from further molestation. II it can
not obtain immunity from the dangers which
II has latelyenoumbered, from other sources,
il win protect ITSELF II has adopted sys.
tenn Of observation and detection which will
he cfIsotual in preventing future outrages Of
this sort, and may now be considered as safs
as any other road in the country. But this
does not relieve the official protectors Of the
public from the responsibility Of exhausting
every resource in their power 70 ferret out
and bring to justice the bandits who have
already displayed their existence and their
atrocious designs as highwaymen Of the first
order. We are too prone 10 forget psst out

immunity and encouragement to bad men,

The St. Louis Times says: VIII the Presi-
dent-for Congress will not-order an in
vestigation into the administration Of the
Department Of the Interior, while under the
control Of Preacher HARLAN? 1t is due TO
the Government and TO the people, and more
especially 70 the anti-Radical voters whom
HARLAN is denouncing as Copperheads, that
this should be done. Let us all have a
glimpse at HARLAE's rascality while play
ing loyalty at Washington. The develop
ments, we assure you, Mr.. President, will be
rich and startling.
The Tines is right in the general advice
it gives the President. We are not familiar
with the details of the doings Of the sanity
and "loyal" ex-Secretary of the Interior.
But we do know that the term loyalty has
come to mean good deal more THAI the
Specification usually given by lexicogra-
pliers. 1t is the cloak of multitude of po-
litical shortcomings, and when fully exposed
will be found to be the hiding-place of a
goodly number of personal sins.
