rHE STATE FAIR.

Tho state Fair at Rutland, last
week, was, in most respects, a success.
The show Of stock was very good

every departmeat--horses cattle sheep.

From the number and variety Of ami
mails exhibited, We should Judge that
there is a growing interest in stock
raising, at least in some portions of
the state. The scraggy, homely, d..
minntive, bot hardy, animals Of our
iorefathers arc giving place TO the
sleek fat aud lazy Durham or the trim
Devon, cattle which viii not thrive on
short pastures and meadow hay, -
but with plenty Of good feed will line
the farmers pockets with money.
The horses on exhibition showed
that Vermont has kept her prestige

Chieknmnuga.

For three days the battle ragged On
the morning Of the third the contest was
renewed with augmented fury. All day
the earth trembled with the thunder OF
four hundred guns, and the clamor Of a
hundred thousand rifles. The very wa
tiers quivered within the banks Of the
River ofthe Dead. Troops we're rushed
from point TO point-courier dashed,
with foaming steed, through the jungles
and over the slain-clanking squadron
and frantic cohort met and fell in con-
hict-tattered gnidons and blackened
banners mingled in the bloody strife
the lurid smoke of combat rose and
spread in purple vsyes-hideous Iiames
OF sulphur flashed from fierce and closing
lines, aud volley after Volley Numbered
its deadly contents amid surging col
umns and clashing arms. All day the
Gerceness ragged, and the issue seemed
doubtful, But late in the evening
both wings Of the enemys line
began sulleniy 20 recede, and later
we're driven in confusion. though
the center stood fierce and hrm.
Open that point the flower of the
Confederate army had been hurled and
rehurled without saccess, and still the
onset was brayely renewed. Charge
after charge vas made and repulsed.
and it seemed that the position was not
to be taken. Bat, just hs the sun, en-
crimsoned with the smoke Of battle, was
sinking beneath the mountains that tow
cred upon our left, our shattered col
umns we're rallied for the last grand
struggle. The Charge" was sounded
and with a shout that vocalized the
heazens, and an intrepedity that swept
away an opposition, they dashed into
he enemy's works, and poured volley
into the flying forces. The route was
complete-the fight was oTer-ihe battle
vas won. Silence reigned moment
Then, far away through the deep and
darkeEing forest, could just be heard the
yelling Of troops. And what did that
mean2 Twas the shout Of victory
Nearer it came louder and louder
it grew - grander aud grander' i
rose, until Il passed and repassed
the entire line Of the Confederate army.
From legion 10 legion il went and re-
taraai, from wing 10 wing Il rolled.
Shout after shoui pierced the Ysulied
