Everything Ready for the Fair,

In this, the last issue of our paper before the
Fair, which will open on WEDNESDAY
NEXT, we hare the pleasure of announcing
that all things are ready for the interesting oc-
c,,sion. Under the management of the Executive
Board the grounds have been greatly improved
and beautified, the buildings and enclosures
fitted up in complete order, the accommoda-
tons rendered more perfect, and every thing,
that skill and judgment could devise for the
convenience and pleasure of all who may at
tend, has been done. The preparations through
out present features calculated TO enhance the
enjoyment OF the occasion beyond any previ-
Gus exhibition held by the Society. Notwith-
standing The protracted drought no apprehen-
sions are felt for an ample supply of water which
will be ensured by arrangements effected by
the Executive Board.
The people of old Montgomery can now
point to their Fair Grounds with increased
pride, and tru,hfully boast of their beauty and
perfect adaptation to the purposes for which
they are designed If there is any other spot
in this broad land that can excel it in beauty
Of situation, or in natural or artificial arrange
ment for agricultural and mechanical display
and competition, we should be pleased to see
it.
All that is now needed for magnificent
and highly successful exhibition next week, is
favorable weather, which present appearances
indicate. Come one, come all, with helping
hand, to the Fair, and you will be richly re-
paid for your time and contributions, however
liberal the latter may be.
Under the directions of the Executive Board
the Secretary has forwarded complimentary
cards of invitation to a number of distinguish
ed gentlemen Of oar State, some of whom have
sig'aifea their acceptance, among the latter,
zion VIM. Pinkney Whyte, candidate for
lGovernor, whose letter we publish for the
qualification of his many friends in this conn
~. Hon VIM. NJ. Merrick, our representa-
>tive in Congress, Hon. oden Bowie, Governor
4 Maryland, and John W Garrett, ESQ.,,

a VISIT TO THE HOME Of JEFF.
DAVIS,


A private letter received by q citizen of
Chicago from gentleman at VicksbuIg,
describes trip made by the latter, in
company with Mr.. jefferson Davis, to
the plantations formerly'owned by Joseph
Z. Davis, row deceased. The following
extracts are sent us:
"We left at night on the R. Z. Lee,
one of our finest steamers, and landed at
the Hurricane plantation about daylight
the next morning. This plantation, and
another known as Bgiartield, were occu-
pied before the war by Joseph Z. Davis
and his brother, President Davis. They
were sold by Mr.. Joseph E. Davis, who
owned them both, to his favorite freed
man, Ben Montgomery, for three hundred
thousand dollars, payable at the end of
ten years, (lst Of January, 1867 inter-
est at per cent, pay able annually. Ben,
who is very black, but thoroughly edGca-
ted before the war, met US and gave us a
breakfast, waiting on the table himself, but
not offering to take seat. After break
fast, We had carriage, and rode over the
magnificent estate, the extent of which
you can form some idea of, when l tell
you that Ben. Montgomery made last year
$500 bales of cotton, and large quaint
ity of corn. We dned al Briarfeld, the
former residence Of Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
and now occupied as a residence by the
aforesaid Ben, and you Will not be sur
prised to learn that the former slaves of
Mr.. Davis greeted him with all the
wa. nth of affe CtiOn that they were cap
able of expressing. Mr.. D. met them
cordially, ard encouraged them by many
kind words. After dinner, at which our
wealthy host again waited on US in elegant
style, we passed on to very large and
valuable plantation Whichhss been purch-
ased By Ben Montgomery and added to
the Davis estate, and which will add to
his crop this year probably 1000 bales
more, making 8, 500 bales in all, if it is
good crop year.

PROVIDING FOR A FUTURE SUP
PLY OF TIMER

4 prominent landscape gardener, Of
Hamilton county, Ohio, is just in receipt
Of letter from II. W. S. Cleveland, of
Chicago, to the effect that the Burlington
and Missouri River Railroad Company is
DESTROYS of beginning a system of forest
planting along the line of their road in
Nebraska, with view of furnishing fu-
ture supplies of timber. The general
idea is to establish nurseries at different
points on the line, and extend the planta-
tons from them year by year. The Su-
perintendeut Of the Company wants to
secure general superintendent, to be
permanently attached to the railroad
stsffs, to organize and take charge of the
whole work of procuring the young trees,
establishing the nurseries, and directing
the work of planting.
The Cincinnati Horticultural Society
has been placed in possession of TIT
above information, and this is an extra
ordinary opportunity for some membel
of the Society to bring his acquired
knowledge into practical effect.
This IS, probably, the first instance in
which forest planting has been proposed
to be carried out to any great extent il
America on an extended scale. 1t ough
to be encouraged, especially in those sec
tons of the country where fuel and tim.
Der are scarce, and the land is cheap anC
lying idle.
The Duke of Athol, in Scotland, wher
young, planted large number Of fores
trees and he had the pleasure of seeing il
his advanced age the British ships of wa
built out of the very trees he had set out
The Russian Government, within tn,
last half century, has slso planted tree
by the millions, along the shores of fh'
Black Sea, and in the vicinity of ODESSA.
20 provide for the future necessities Of
the country for fuel and timber.
