A BIG FAIR.-The people of western
Maryland are making great strides in every
thing pertaining to agriculture and me-
chanics. Allegany county is doing wonders.
In the last ten years her population has
been increased about 40 per cent, and the
city of Cumberland is growing now more
rapidly than any other town in the State.
In all directions buildings spring up like
magic. Amongst these is magnificent
hotel to cost 100000. The Agricultural
and Mechanical Fair to be held there on the
18th, 18th, 10th and goth of October, pro-
misses to surpass those of the past. The
trotting and running purses. in trials of
speed, are 5000 each, and all other pre-
miums liberal. A visit to the Fair will
doubtless be most pleasant, and round trip
half fare tickets will be issued on the rail-
roads,

Important News-Revfval OF the Insur-
rectiOn.
The Havana DidriO de la Marina of the 18th
instant says:-
'The soil now trod by the rebels is parcelled
into six districts, each under Spanish COM
mander-in-chief, viz.:-Santiago de Cuba Bay
amo Las Tunas, Puerto Principe, Sancti Spiritus
and the villas Trinidad, Santa Clara, Remedies
and Cienfuegos. The insurgents have adopted
similar divisions OF territory, and are led at
Santiago de Cuba by Maxine Gomez; at Bayamo
by Modesto Diaz; at Las Tunas by Vicente
Garcia; at Puerto Principe by Ignatio Agramonte,
and at Sancti Spiritus by Villegas, supported by
Salome Hernandez Villamil and other partisans.
There seems to be no important leader at the
Villas"

mitted by Maxine Gomez and Modesto Diaz
such as burning property, attacking conveys, or
some small village.

trenches at Navarjal and Monte Oscuro, aud
lgnacio Agramonte to be acting the part of die
tator at Camaguey. movement of troops
ordered by General Valmaseda, on arriving at
Sancti Spiritus, will, the Diario afirms estab-
lish military line at Ciego de Avia (thereby
parting the island in two portions), said line to
be defended by only three thousand men, so that
eight or ten thousand troops may be able to
guard the two districts, and an equal number
march on Camaguey Puerto Principe). This
should be done without delay; and once the re-
bellion is crushed at Sancti Spiritus the time
would come for the Puerto Principe insurgents,
and those of the eastern department would be
DESTROYED afterwards.
Nothing published heretofore has attached so
much importance to the rebellion as the above
remark from the organ of the Spaniards at
Havana. 1t seems that the island is to be
divided into two nearly equal parts, and the
west to be strenuously defended, while the east
is to be comparatively abandoned to the grow
ing iDsurpent powers.

New YORK, April 25.-The New York Sun
says that gigantic fraud has been discovered,
and asserts that Victor Place, late French Con-

arms and provisions purchased in this country
One operation in beef alone is said by the Sun
to have netted the ring 100000. The total
contracts amount to over ten millions, on which
two per cent commission was levied. The Sun
adds that from so to 200 per cent profit was
charged on large amounts of guns purchased of
the United States Government, and that profit
of $3.50 600 was made on the thirty-fve batteries
of Napoleon guns alone. M. Place has been re-
