the large and striking exhibition of arti-
cles made by Mrs. s. G. WILSON, of Gran,
Vile county. Her contribution was the
centre of attraction and wonder, and COM
manded the admiration of every visitor.
Every article exhibited was Of the most
superior quality and the handiwork of hel
own industry and supervision. We have
Mrs. WILSON'S promise that samples cf he,
articles shall be on exhibition at the Fai,
of the Cape Fear Agricultural Association,

compete with her, if not in variety, al
least in quality.

NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD-IMPOR-

p private telegram Just received from
Raleigh, we are informed that J1r. W. }.
HAWKINS, President of the Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad, has rented the North
Carolina Railroad for twenty years, at six
per cent. per annunl upon the capital
stock, subject to the approval of the
Stockholders. at a special meeting to be
held in Raleigh on the 18th of Novem-
Der. We are surprised to learn of
this attempt to make pTirme arrange
ment with one road, when three
others Richmond, Danville and Pied
mont, Wilmington and Weldon, and the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroads.
were equally interested, and if this great
work is to be rented, it would have COM
manded much greater price at public
auction. We still hope and believe that
the Stockholders will take this view of it.
and shall urge upon them, before this
trade is consummated, that this course
should be pursued. We will refer to this
subject again.

Central Agricultural Fair.

We had the pleasure Of attending the
Fair of the Central Agricultural Society OF
Henderson On Thursday last. We regret
that our busines SIS denied us the opportunity
Of being there earlier or remaining longer.
Our time, occupied in listening to the adj
dress of General Nj. ". RANSOM and look
ing at the races, did not permit us to give
as full examination to the articles on ex-
hibition as we desired. We did, however.
examine all hastily, and we were pleased
at the interest and advancement which
they showed existed in agricultural mat
tiers in that section. The horses, cattle,
hogs and other stock were OF high order
of merit The household and horticultu-
raj departments were full and meritori-
Gus. We were satisfied from an eXamina
ton that the women of Warren, Franklin
and Granville were altogether ahead of the
men in the exhibition of their skill and in
dustry In the mechanical department
there was but poor exhibit. We think
that this branch of industry should be en-
couraged, and would call it to the atten-
ton of the officers Of the Society.
The trotting, pacing and running, was
very good. The trottng especially was
fine, and we nope that some of their
fastest horses will be with us IN November.
The great feature Of the day vas the
address hy General RANSOM. We have
seldom listened to one us good. 1t was
not to be expected from man reared to
the bar to make speech upon the dry de-
tails of farming, when hundreds Of his
auditory knew more of these details than
the orator. Still he did not occupy the
time in repeating mere flowers of oratory,
but combining the practical with the ele-
CANT, he treated his hearers to one of the
finest and most appropriat7 addresses ever
delivered. He spoke of science as applied
to agriculture, of internal improvements,
of low rates of freights, of fertilizers and
of labor, so as to impress the Importance
of each branch of his subject upon his
hearers His Introductory remarks upon
the South. and especially of North Carroll
ma, it's soil, climate and people, were most
truthful, impressive and eloquent, but his
peroration was grand and sublime. He
spoke of our recent troubles, our present
condition, our relations with the blacks,
our present and future, which were ap-
plauded to the echo by all who had the
pleasure OF listening to him. We will
publish extracts from this address when
ever it is published.
We met many old friends at Henderson,
and enjoyed their welcomed company for
brief season. We accepted the elegant
Inequalities of Colonel S. S. RoYsTER and
his accomplished wife, and were indebted
to many other friends for kindnesses. We
have never met more hospitable, intelli-
gent and earnest people in our lives, and
no people live in more beautiful or desi-
rable country.
We return our thanks to the officers of
the Society and to Capt. A. 3. ANDREWS
for personal favo-a.
We cannot c.ose this notice without call
ing attention to the wonderful exhibition,
in the useful and ornamental, made by "a
good housewife" of which we speak else

THE GOOD WIFE.
By RpwARp P. NoME11,

"She makes my homo the pleasantest spot
on earth to me."-Dr. CdIUtn Chaplin.
Blest is the home which hath wife so sweet
SokInd, so gentle, cheerful and refined,
That happy is the man In whose retreat
Dwells such a helpmate, with such traits
combined.
The mythIc vesta, goddess of the hearth,
Whom ancientS pictured as diylnely pure,
Was not more lovely than the wife of worth
Who home investslwith pleasures that en-
dure.
She makes heaven OF her little realm,
Where husband, children, friends. in bliss
And though the waves o: outward care DER
Athome o'eIfows contentment'I tranquil
How sweetly falls at evening on the ear,
The coed wife's lOve-fraught welcome TO
her spouse,
And then, at morning. her fond words en-
dear
Moro closely all the treasures ofhis house.
Praise, endless praise to Him who gtveth
Good gifts. tnatin this trying. changeful
He granteth such a boon from heaven to fall
AS home made charming by faithful
wife.

UEIVERSALISM.
Recent Meeting In the City.
WHEELING, WEST VA, /
February Skh. 1863.

February Sth, 1869. !
To the Editor Of. the IntellIEencer:
In looking over this mornings issue
OF the 1NTELLIGENCER 1 see that the
Rev. Alexander Martin, D. D., preach
ed at the Baptist Church in this CITY on
yesterday at II o'clock, and in the Zane
street Church at Z p. M.,-that DIR. Nc
Ginnis delivered Temperance lecture
at Good Templar's' Hall,--that the
Board of Overseers of the Poor met at
the Supervisors room in the Court
House on Saturday,-that James Roby,
aiconViCt in the Penitentiary at Mounds
Vile, has been pardoned by Governor
Boreman, and that Miss Anna Seton
will visit Wheeling soon; but, have
carefully read your paper through and
see no mention of the large, respectable
and interesting meetings which were
held in Hornbrook's Hall, Yesterday
morning and evening. Permit me to
say that those meetings were we'll at
tended-that some of the most respecta-
BILE and influential citizens of Wheeling
were present and contributed literally
of their means to sustain and keep up
those meetings in future.
To give you an idea OF what was said
there, will state that the services were
opened by reading the Scriptures, with
singing and prayer, followed-int the
morning-by an interesting and in
final destiny of mankind. In the even
ing, services as above, with discourses
on the final triumph of Good over Evil,
and the universal ingathering OF all
things in Christ.
This Gospel met with opposition
when proclaimed by Christ and his
disciples; and we must expect 1t to meet
with opposition now; but, really, we
had expected that the opposition would
be confined to those Ministers who
teach and believe that Satan's King
dom will be perpetuated throughout
eternity, and that Christ will tail In the
accomplishment of the work which his
Father sent him to do.
in HOrnbrook'R Hall-the notices of
which appeared in the city papers q
few days since, and for which the pub
fishers tUere PGid-were quite a success,
and met with more encouragement
than was anticipated.
Yours, &C.,
w. J. DRUMNoND.
We have but single remark to make
upon the above article. II our friend,
the writer, had thought worth while, as
is often the case during such meetings,
to have dropped in upon us and given
US any items of interest touching its
progress, we should have willingly
published them. We can only assure
him there was no intentional remissness
on our part. We claim in such matters
to have no prejudioes that deter us from
doing justice to any of our fellow-oiti-
zens:

Rich and Poor.

1t is q matter Of shame that any
journal, or anybody claiming intelli-
gencc and responsibility, would in this
country attempt to create distinctions
of classes, and put The rich against the
poor, or the poor against tho rich.
Yet there arc such, whose labors are
rs contemplate rs they are wicked.
In this country there arc no material
distinctions Of classes. Every man
who earns comfortable, honest liv-
ing, and is intelligent and virtuouS, Is
independently rich and may command
respect and esteem. and aspire to all
tho honors and dignitics incident to
sovereign citizenship. We have no
titles here, or entails, nor hereditary
estates, and NIL wealth merely in mon
cy and in goods, in the average Of
classes, however accumulated to-day,
will return to It's original sources In
two or three generations. 1t seldom
needs more than the children TO scat

1t Is all nonsense TO talk about arls.

dustrious man Is nil aristoci 1t IN IFS
trade, or ought 10 be. BY this We
mean that every honest calling is Of
supcrlativc dignity IN itself; that IT.

Let even the chimney sweeper stand

Candidates might have less trouble in
carrying the election. In this case
Judge Williams has direct personal
interest, as if the Registry Law be sus-
tanned, some natuFalized citizens who
would vote against him, may be
deprived of the elective franchise
Now, we shall see whether he is an up
right and impartial Judge. If he is
the man his partizans claim him to be
he will decide both the Herdict act and
the Registry Law unconstitutional. But
we presume he is made of the same
material of which Radicals usually
make statesmen, heroes and judges.
The Convention passed a resolution
endorsing the Fifteenth Amendment
and refused to pass one recommending
"retrenchme7a and reform ~ The foul
attempt of the last Legislature to steal
from the people the right TO control the
elective franchise in their own way, is
thus made part of the Radical plat
form, whilst the people are assured that
they need not expect tretrenchment and
reform at the hands of the Radical par
ty. Ii does seem to us that men who
flout such insults in the faces of the peo-
pie, must be insane. 1t has been sug-
gested to us that some of the anti
Geary politicians foisted the plat
form on the Convention, because they
meant to insure Geary's defeat. If
this be true, and we are inclined to
think it is, the object aimed at has
been very successfully accomplished.
The Fifteenth amendment and the de-
feat Of the ''retrenchf'ae,st and reform"
resolution, are sufficient to ruin the
most popular candidate. How, then,
shall Geary bear up under the load?
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-07-02

THE hquirer has made the follow
ing startling discovery: "Copperhead-
.sism and British Free Trade go hand
sin hand. They are now making a
''fierce attack upon every species of
american Industry" The fable has
it that there once was fool who be-
lieved that pumpkins were mares
eggs, and when one Of those rotund
vegetables was thrown into brush
heap and frightened rabbit ran out
in consequence, the fool called after
poor puss in a loud voice, as he pointed
to female ass in another part of the
field, whoa! eolty, there is your
mother!' " The editor of the Inquirer
has evidently discovered similar
mares nest.
1t is simply untrue that the tariff
question enters at all into the present
canvass. 1t is not, at present, a politi-
cal question. Congress alone can deal
with it, and the new Congress will not
be chosen until next year. But, per-
haps, it is the "copperheadism" of
John Cessna to which the Inquirer re-
fers. If Johns old Democratic blood
will rebel against exorbitant tariffs, we
can't help it. The Inquirer must make
the most of it. The radical party have
taken hirn, 'for better, for worse"
and must get as much out of bad bar
gain as possible.
But what has the Inquirer to say in
regard to the course of such leading
Radicals as w. LLOYD GARRISON,
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, PARKE
GOODWIN, A. T. STEWART, GERRIT
SMITH, and DAVID PAUL BROWN,
who are now championing the Free
Trade movement? What sense ls
there in bowling about Free Trade
"Copperheadism," when the brains
and soul of the Radical party are in
the Free Trade movement? F? Will the
Inquirer have the frankness and hon.
esty to inform its readers that the
great Radical leaders just named, are
members of the Free Trade League !?
Come, now, let us see whether you have
the grit.

SUNDAY NEXT will be the fifth time
the American people have sat down to
their Fourth ofJuly dinners, since Lees
surrender, but not once to celebrate the
restoration Of ghe Union. Upwards of
four years have elapsed since the last
rebel laid down his gun at Appommas-
tox, yet to-day three states, Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas are out of the
Union, whilst Georgia is neither out
nor in, and only the negroes and car
pet-baggers of seven other states are
represented in Congress. A pretty
subject for reflection on the anniversa-
ry of American independence.
