! We have observed among our exchange
receatly q variety Of favorable notices Z
this vigorous and thrisine institasion, a
showing that the aptitude and energy dis
played by Its officers is being highly az
boring States.
1 we see published by citizens of Ken
tueky q challenge TO the world TO NEE
them there and exhibit hogs for all th.
liberal premiums offered, of which severa
new ones have been added to the Published
Inst IN their programme ErT RagE
We also see The following highly com
pliDentary notice of their fair published
IN the Illustrated Journal Of agriculture
handsome paper published at st. Louis
a notice which of itself ought, and nc
doubt will, induce numbers of exhibitors
from the Northwest, a region greatly in
| terested in such exhibitions. We heartily
indoIse every word of the Journal, for nc
| greater success has, within our knowledge,
been attained by any similar institution in
the State.
TENNESSEE CENTRAL FAIR ASSOCIATION.
MURFREEsBoRo, TENN
We are in receipt of large and hand
some pamphlet containing theliberal list Of
premiums, offered by this Association for
their next annual meeting, beginning Sep
TENDER &c, and continuing fer the week.
This Is among the most extensive and
prosperous of all the Southern Associa
tons, having expended iudiciously nearly
$40, 600 in preparing grounds and hand
some amphitheatre and other necessary
buildings for frst-class stock and me.
chanical exhibition. l 9-i q
1t is attended every year by many thou
sands of as good population as is to be
found anywhere, and much interest is
manifested by all In the splendid exhibit
lions of stock and machinery which the
enterprise and liberality Of the energetic
directory induce to be exhibited.
We are personally acquainted with the
President and number of the other off.
cers and realize fully that any entertain
ment presented by them viii amply repay
the presence of visitors and exhibitors
from any section.
No more fertile country and no more en-
tsrprising community is known to exist
anywhere in the South, and we feel assur-
ed that dealers in blooded cattle, hogs and
every variety of stock could nowhere else
meet more appreciative and wealthy
people, than viii be present az this Fair,
and we suggest it as the very best market
now being opened for all dealers to have
satisfactorily introduced any animals or
articles they may wish TO sell.
The enterprising officers offer to re-
ceive, advance the freight and pat upon
exhibition anything shipped to them, and
thus enable exhibitors TO have q full bene-
fit of their Fair without the necessity of
their honored presence Send for list of
premiums TO d. II G Spence, President,
or DR.. John Patterson, Superintendent.
We also see from correspondence pub
llshed In the same paper, that Gen. John
5. Msrmaduke has consented TO be present
and deliver an address upon the occasion.
the General is now as fully identified with
and interested in the subject of agricul-
ture and other kindred pursuits of peace,
as he was during our recent family
stew, in The prosecution of the war, and
will, no doubt, prove as effective and for
chile in the new role as in the old. We
guarantee him welcome among us.
The correspondence referred to is as
follows:
