The New EprIaud F.t,.

Yesterday was an extremely busy da among
the fair people. The sound of the hammer
and saw re-echoed continuously throughout
the corridors of City Hall, and we believe the
tables are low all up and neatly covered with
white cloth all ready for the goods of exhibit
tors. The Superintendent and Secretary's
Office was visited by numbers throughout the
day who were DESTROYS Of entering their vari-
GUS articles, while the workmen on the bridge
outside were making steady progress.
Mr.. II. B. Brown, the artist, is now engaged
upon the picture gallery. Among the pictures
waiting to be hung are the following: Shat.
tuck's White Mountains in October, H. B
Browns Morning on the Coast, DeHaas' Far
ragut Passing the Forts, Coleman's Foray, a
Moorish scene, A. F. Tate's Promising Brood,
George L. Browns Rome and Bay of Naples,
q large picture by Sountag; also several of the
choicest pictures from the collections of Port
land gentlemen. A large invoice of valuable
paintings, valued at $4,000, arrived from Bos-
ton last night, and will be Immediately placed
in position, and we hear that this is only the
beginning, as far as Massachusetts, is concern
ed. We hope that gentlemen in our own State
will enter into this praiseworthy rivalry and
make fine display, and that the other New
England States will also forward their gems of
art. If any gentleman of this city will leave
word at the Secretary's Office at the hall, o
competent man will call for his paintings and
soc that they are handled with care.

Our DISTINGUISHED VIsTToRs.-Yesterday
morning Gen. Sherman arrived in this city, by
early train from Augusta, about 8 IL o'clock
and Immediately drove to the Falmouth Ho-
tel, where he was speedily accommodated with
suit of apartments. The General was ac-
companied by his daughter and Hon. James
G. Blaine, Of Augusta. After removing the
stains of travel, the party proceeded on board
the Tallapoosa, from whence the General and
several ladies took one of the Tallapoosa's boats
and were rowed over to Fort Preble. Upon
arriving at the fort the proper salute, due to
the rank of the General, was fired, and the
party was received by Gen. Hill and the Off
GERS of the garrison, and the troops forming the
command at that post paraded. The General
made thorough inspection of the fort, after
which lunch was furnished to which all did
ample justice, after which they re-embarked
and arrived in the city by four o'clock. The
evening was passed at the hotel, where quite
number of our citizens paid their respects to
the distinguished military chieftain.
Secretary Robson was expected to Join the
Tallapoosa yesterday, but dispatch was re-
ceived from him instead, stating that he should
be unable to come, and requesting that his eff
fects might be forwarded to him at Washing
ton Ex-Secretary Borie, however, arrived in
the P. M, train from Boston, accompanied by
his brother, Mr.. Charles Borie, wife and three
daughters, and Commodore Adams, of the
Navy. Commodore Adams did not remain
here, but the ex-Secretary and party are stop
ping at the Falmouth Hotel.
Gen. Sherman leaves in this mornings train
for Boston, and will remain in that city until
the afternoon, when he will take the Fall Riv-
er line for New York. The Tallapoosa will sail
to-day for Washington, she having waited over
for Secretary Robson.
