Fine Exhibit.

The Mar;insburg Statesman among other
things about Morgan's Grove has the follow
ing:
at is not our purpose to undertake an ac-
count of the whole Exhibition, which would
require a far more extended article, and will
be given by the local papers. We will only
refer briefly to what seemed the more at
tractive and leading features of Thursday,
Sept. 4th. the handsome exhibit Of Mr.. Hen
nv Shepherd. retired gentleman Of culture
and refinement living on his country estate
about four miles north of Shepherdstown.
We have often heard of Mr.. Shepherds
value as a citizen to the community in which
he lives, his kindness to the poor, benefac-
tons to the aboring class, as well as public
spirit and liberality toward local enterprises
generally. Among his recent acts of gen.
crosby was the building, solely at his own
expense, of the Shepherd turnpike, leading
direct from his country estate to Shepherds
town, a magnificent macadamized driveway,
with a completeness of accompaniment and
finish in every respect, that to be fully ap-
preciated must be seen.
Thorough system and completeness of de-
tail are reputed characteristics, of the man,
and they were everywhere evidenced in the
exhibit itself. The date and fact of the ex-
hibit being made, had been previously pla'
carded about the Grove, town and public
places in the vicinity It's approach was an
nouncee by the marshals, and an avenue
thirty feet wide open and marked off by well
arranged and neatly decorated guide-posts,
and ropes through the grounds and up TO
Mr.. SIS stand and pavilion, on an eminence
near the centre of the Grove.
The procession was led by the Cornet
band and included his farm team, large
broad-tread wagon, six fine mules, all gayly
caparisoned for the occasion; also his fine
herd of thoroughbred Jersey bulls and calves
most of them perfect pictures of their kind
and all so bedecked and equipped as to still
further add to their attractive appearance
His team was named and the stock sepa-
rately battered and led by the regular farm
corps of uniformed employees, and the march
concluded at Mr. SIS grand stand, where the
exhibit was arranged in proper order within
we'll planned and tasty enclosure, afford
ing ample and convenient opportunity fol
thorough inspection by the many adml
rers.
While this was in progress, Mr.. 5. IL
person upon his Pavilion, was receiving ant
entertaining his numerous friends in hi'
usual happy and pleasing manner. Every
thing was in entire keeping with Mr.. So
we'll known reputation for doing whatever
he undertakes in frstclass style aud or
der.
Morgans Grove exhibition as whole
was recognized and pronounced great sue
cess, but no single feutrue of it perhaps af
forded more real enjoyment, or was the sub
iect of greater admiration than Mr.. Shep
| herds exhibit
From what we learn of Mr.. Shepherd
he we'll deserves all that has been said o
his culture. refinement, charity and generos
ity, and Jefferson should be proud to claim
so worthy citizen"

At the Winchester Fair on Thursday 4
room was set apart for the use of Nh ChGs
Broadway Rouss, whose custom is annually
to entertain his friends, old and new. On
this occasion he seems 20 have made abun-
dant provision aud dispensed his hospitality
to many ladies and gentlemen. We will
not attempt to particularize more than to
say that the capital started with in the
morning among other items was twenty-five
gallons of iee-cream other things in pro-
portion. We believe we stated in our last
that he made his fourth $500 contribution
to the Agricultural Association.
One of Mr.. Rouss' diversions during the
day was the distribution of quarters, dimes
and nickels to the boys.
We reckon many surviving old Confed
remembers the day when the I'd Virginia
Infantry, "Stonewall Brigade" came back to
Winchester in the Fall after the first battle
of Manassas, when Mr.. Rouss distributed
plugs of tobacco to the boys as they march
ed by his store on Main street. His gener-
Gus habits. we were about to say impulses,
grow by cultivation and his abilities grow
with them.
At a meeting of the directors Of the 5. V.
A. Society on the grounds on Wednesday the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, Charles Broadway Rouss,
ESQ.,, the met spot cash" merchant prince
of New York city, having recently again
manifested his great liberality and friendly
feeling toward this Society by fourth an
nual donation of five hundred dollars to its
treasury, accompanied by letter written in
his unique characteristic and expressive
style, and the Society desiring to convey to
him its high appreciation of his repeated
substantial gifts TO it, be it therefore resoly-
ed,
LIST. That in Charles Broadway Rouss, this
Society recognizes its most liberal, sincere,
and steadfast friend
2ud. That as an inadequate, but earnest
acknowledgement of his princely liberality
as evidenced by the present and previous
occasions, the sincere and grateful thanks
of this Society be, and are hereby rendered
to him, with the hope that his exceeding
generosity may be the measure of his future
prosperity.
Srd. That the Secretary be, and is hereby
instructed to cause these resolutions to be
appropriately engrossed under the SOciety's
seal, and forwarded to Mr.. Rouss at the ear-
Hest practical time.
4th. That these Resolutions be published
in the next issues of the local press.

Ex-Governor VIM. E. Cameron, of Pc
tersburg. Va, has published a letter in VII n
he renounces his allegiance to the Republic
can party, both State and national. II was
his intention to have prepared this letter
several weeks ago, but q painful illness IN
terfered with his plans. Ex-Governor Cam
eron is considered to be one of the most bril-
liant men ia the State and was elected Gov
ernor over Senator John W. Daniel in the
memorable campaign Of 1850. He jusIiiies
his action in Withdrawing from his Old party
in part as follows:
"The Republican party preserves no long
er the semblance of speaking for the entire
country. but bases It's claim to supremacy
on sectional preiudices and sectional inter
est. pure and simple Not only is this so,
but the directors of Its policy have not hes
itated I'm the attainment of their ends to
PROSTATE the plighted faith Of the party in
sight of all the world, and to renounce IN
their congressional enactments the promises
solemnly made in the Chicago platform.
They stand self-convicted not only Of false
pretense and punic faith, but Of mathematl-
cal malignancy in seeking to retain power
bv re-invoking the war sentiment at the
North and West and by resurrechng all the
stock phrases Of fanaticism and sectionallsm
which could stir the South into resentment
and ret0rt."

has, therefore, resigned. His resignation
will not take effect until the close Of the

Mr. Vaux of Pennsylvania in the House
on Monday called attention of the people OF
the country to the fact that the Republican
party forbade the right of representation in
the House Of Representatives in the Ameri-
can Congress. He wanted the people to I'M
der,tand that free speech was gene in the
House of Representatives. Talk about a
bill for free ballot and fair count! The ma
iority had better pass bill giving free
speech to the peoples representatives, which
had been taken away by the misrule under
which the House was governed.
