EVERT TOTE WILL COUNT! MOftE TO THE RESCUE! Wo are reluctantly compelled to* post pone the letter of our St. Louis correspondent, received on Thursday afternoon, until our next issue, in consequence of putting this number of The Intelligencer to press on Saturday instead of Monday. ATTENTION—DEMOCRATS! Don’t neglect your duty at the election. Let the Township and Ward Committees all over the county see to it that every vote is brought out, and that all our Democratic friends vote the entire ticket—State and County from top to bottom. Beware, also, of spurious tickets. The opposition will cir culate them by thousands throughout the county. Examine every ticket before it is deposited in the^ballot -box. OUR CANDIDATES, Amid all the storms that have swept with fury against the Democratic party, you will find RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT and JOHN ROWE, our candidates for Auditor General and Surveyor General, the same uncompromis ing foes to monopolies, the same Bteady sup porters of all measures calculated to benefit the laborer, the mechanic and the farmer, and the same stern D«nocrats throughout. These are records worthy of men—these are sheets that will hear the inspection of all who love the rights of mankind—this is alone a suffi cient reason why ike people have taken up their cause and determined to elect them. To he sure over the State, here and there, are some men whose monied influence is brought to bear against them—and why ? Because in the defence of Democratic principles, and as the enemies of monopolies, they have, in timeß past, tread upon and crushed some grand swindling affair that would have made millionaires of a few at the expense of the me chanic and farmer. friends of freedom, friends of equal rights, ye sturdy sons of Democracy, ye in whose hands are. held the balance, and in whose heartß beat the love of country, look with pride to your standard bearers, look with de termined scorn upon the man that would tempt you to forget the glorious past of our party, and go ye among your neighbors and tell them what friends they have in WRIGHT and ROWE, the firm and unflinching Demo crats, true and pure. Democrats! let no trick of the Opposition betray*you into the camp of your enemies, and keep your flints well nicked for a desper ate fight. Hoist the banner of Wright and Rowe, the people’s friends. IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. A Republican candidate is elected in Ken tucky by a majority of three votes —one in Tennessee by six votes —another by fifty- A Demoorat is elected in Kentucky by sixty-seven votes. These results should admonish every voter here and elsewhere of the importance of a few votes. A vote in each township of a county where the canvass is closely con tested, may decide the politics of the county a vote in each county may decide the political complexion of a State —the vote of a State electß Presidents, decides the policy, and may, in a like manner, the future des tinies of the nation. How important then is a single vote. Democrats should remember the above faots at tho polls on the second Tuesday of Ootober. Every man entitled to a vote has a duty to perform, in bestowing it insnoh a way as may advance those principles, which, in his honest judgment, are best calcu lated to promote the general welfare. And, if he fail to do so, he is guilty, in a measure, of disloyalty to the government to which he is indebted for the protection of his person and his property. It is to be hoped that, at the coming election, there will be no cause for doubting the loyalty of the Democrats of the Keystone, but that every voter will do his duty, by depositing his vote freely and promptly for the Democratic State nomina tions, as well as for their county tickets. Do this, and viotory will perch upon our banner. PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AT HOME, The President reached Wheatland on Wed nesday afternoon last, in excellent health and spirits. The cares of State appear to sit lightly upon him, as we never saw him look tetter,. He visited the County Fair on Thurs dky, and syaa taken by the hand by many of his old neighbors and acquaintances. He expeots to return to Washington City on Tuesday or Wednesday. apti YOU READY—DEMO- CRATS! The election ia at hand, and we hope all' our Democratic friends are ready for the occasion. The election tube decided to-day (Tuesday) in Pennsylvania, is an important one in many respects, and the Democraoy of Lancaster county should not be found care less or indifferent as to the result. Oar candi dates for the State offices, Messrs. Wright and Rowe, are gentlemen of unexceptionable moral and political character, and of undoubt ed qualifications for the faithful discharge of the important and responsible duties of Audi tor General and Surveyor General. So also our candidates on the County ticket, Messrs. Reese, Herr, Mcllvain, Hays, Neff, Clark, Peters, Hartman, Long, Kil lian, Eckert, Zecher, Fulton and Woods. We doubt whether a better, ticket, take it all through, has ever been .formed in Lancaster county. They are one and all gentlemen of high standing in the community, and eminent ly qualified to fill, with credit to themselves and to the advantage of their constituents, the various offices for which they have been nominated. Sueb, then, being the excellence and worth of our ticket—State and County—in addition to the important interests involved in the State election, is it not the duty of every Democrat—no* matter what may be his opinions respecting issues of the past, which are no longer of any practical importance—to act at this election as though the result in the State depended on his vote alone ? And the decision, who knows, may depend on a few votes, less or more, .polled by-the Democratic party of Lancaster County. Had the Demoo racy here polled three or four hundred more votes at the October election of 1848, Mr. Lonqstreth would have been elected Governor, and Gen. Cass would have been elected Presi dent. So in 1840, a few hundred more votes in this county would have given the State to Martin Van Buren, and saved our noble old Commonwealth from the disgrace which then attached to her escutcheon. Will our friends think of these things, and act accordingly? We hope they will give this one day to their country, and that, in every district, they will see to it that our voters are all brought out. Let the weather he as it may—fair or foul—poll every vote for the whole ticket, and the result will be, we confidently predict, a glorious victory in the State. ALL HAIL, CALIFORNIA! The election in California, which took place on the 7th of September, resulted in a glorious and unprecedented triumph for the true blue Democracy. The Democrats have elected their Governor, Latham, by about 20,000 ma jority, all the State offioers, the two members of Congress, and an overwhelming majority in both branches of the State Legislature. The triumph is complete. All hail to the sterling Democracy of the Golden Land ! They have routed the association of traitors, who, under the leadership of David C. Brod erick and Josefh C. McKiBBiN-the former the most infamous and the latter the most un grateful of all apostates—undertook to over : throw the party to which they professed to belong. But the real Democrats of California were neither to be Broderickized, McKibbin ized, nor Black Republicanized. They would not lend themselves to the infamous purposes of these dastardly renegades. Past and gone issues were buried in oblivion, and the noble sons of Democratic California met in fraternal embrace, encountered their enemies of every hue and grade, and routed them “ horse, foot and dragoons.” Again we say, All hail to the noble Democ racy of Calfornia ! A PARTING WORD. We have endeavored to do our duty in urg ing all our Democratic friends throughout the county to turn out to the election and give a solid vote for the entire Democratic ticket. We have essayed to make them feel the impor tance of faithfully discharging this duty. We hope we have succeeded in impressing it upon their minds, and. that they will follow our ad vice. If they do, we are very sure they will have no cause to regret it hereafter—on the contrary, their reflections will be pleasant and agreeable. If the party should be victorious in the State, you will have the gratifying con sciousness that you aided materially in the triumph ; —if defeated, which we by no means anticipate, no blame will rest upon you. Think of these things, fellow Democrats, and discharge well and faithfully your duty at the election. We have done. The “last shot in the locker ” has been fired, and the responsibility now rests with you. Sick or the Nigger. —Gov. Chase, of Ohio, in a late speech in that State where he is stumping ” for the Senatorship, said : But fellow citizens, it does seem to me that we have other questions which interest us, in this country, besides this question of slavery, and questions, too, to which we should pay a good deal of attention. This is jußt what the Democrats have always said, and we are glad to see that the black leaders are getting sick of the nigger agitation. For years they have insisted upon keeping the slavery question uppermost in the public mind, and upon making an issue upon it in every election. By that course alone have they been able to carry elections. But now that they have effectually used it up and run the nigger into the ground, they seem inclined to abandon it. An Oyster Placer. —A tremendously large bed of oyesters, said to be three or four miles square, was discovered off Huntingdon, Long Island, by a party of fishermen from Norfolk, Ct. The value of the placer is said to be more than a million of dollars. The Norwalk Gazette sayslts estimated worth is five millions of dollars. 'The Stanford Advocate gives the following particulars of its discovery: A party of men from Darien were out on the Sound fishing, and, having no anchor to secure the boat, threw over an oyster dredge ; on hauling up the dredge, it was found to be filled with oysters, single and in clusters, varying in length, from five to ten or twelve inches. The dredge was emptied and thrown over, and again drawn up filled with fine looking bivalves. Further researches were made, to ascertain as nearly as possible, the extent of the newly found hed, and it was found to extend over a space probably exceed ing a mile square. The question with the fishermen now was, how they should be able to profit by this good fortune without permitting others to become possessed of the secret. It was finally ar ranged that they should procure a good sized vessel, and prosecute their labors at night. While these preliminaries were being settled one of the party went to City Island, and exhibiting some of his oysters, agreed with a gentleman extensively engaged in the oyster business to discover to him the locality of the bed, for the sum of five hundred dollars. As the story goes, this sum was paid to the man, and on the following day a fleet of thirty or forty oyster smacks were dispatched to the ground, the day’s fishing proving abundantly the extent and richness of the bed. “ News like this was Bure to spread like wildfire, and on Friday last there was proba bly not leas than three hundred veßßels on the ground actively engaged in drawing in the oysters. Several boats from this place went out and succeeded in securing a handsome pile; one boat went out on Friday and re turned on Saturday with over one hundred bushels ; another small boat, with a single man, caught sixteen bushels in half a day. The oysters being worth about two dollars a bushel, makes such fishing as this profitable business. y It is Bnpposed that the bed extends over at least a mile square, and that the oysters are spread over the whole ground in a layer averaging two feet in thickness. ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE. Ac a meeting of the Democratic State Committee, held in Philadelphia, agreeably to the call on the 30th of September, after the transaction of other necessary business, the following addrese was ordered to he published: Fellow Democrats of Pennsylvania We have satisfactory reasons for Believing that it is not necessary to remind you of those important considerations involved in the election now so rapidly approaching. The success or defeat of oar party, the honor and prosperity of the State which a successful Opposition has always betrayed and injured, and those relations more or less dependent on the result of the present canvass which Penn sylvania may assume in connection with the Presidential contest of 1860, cannot fail to have earnestly engaged your feelings and vour judgments. Influenced, indeed, by the pressure of these powerful considerations, we have seen the Democratic party in every county in the State forgetting such secondary issues as may have occasioned differences of opinion among us, and rallying with a strong and vehement impulse under the flag which represents the common principles of our ancient organization. We have lißteneU with pleasure and pride to those welcome notes of preparation, and those words of cheerful promise, which have saluted us from all parts of the Commonwealth. We believe the strong spirit of harmony now prevailing in all quarters, must inevitably produce its legitimate effect at the polls, and we know that with a full vote we need not fear a con test with our opponents. Doubtless in a few counties, where dissensions have not yet been eradicated, we shall suffer considerable loss , but in all the rest, there is every reason to suppose that we shall cast our accustomed vote, while in two or three Districts we shall even largely gain. All that we ask, as a pledge of victory is, that every Democrat who loves his party and wishes to celebrate its supremacy, shall deposit his ballot on the second Tuesday in October, and urge his friend and neighbor to imitate his example. But the gratification of a mere personal sentiment in the triumph of the Democratic party is a matter of small importance in comparison with the sense ot confidence and security we are permitted to enjoy, with the assured ascendancy of its principles, and policy on the one band, and the sad conviction of being fated to suffer humiliation and disas ter on the other hand, whenever the Opposi tion succeds in mastering temporary power. The occasional successes of the Opposition, too often accompanied by fraudulent practices, have been followed always by the most de plorable consequences to the credit and welfare of the State. In proof of this state ment we refer to the fact that there have been i but three instances during the. last quarter of a century in which the Opposition, in any of its various disguises, have held possession of the State Government, either actually or substantially, for the period of a Guberna torial term. The citizens of Pennsylvania remember those years, as the Egyptians j those of a famine or a flight of locusts, as I full of affliction and suffering. They were years in which either financial or moral degradation and bankruptcy, one, or both, overwhelmed every intelligent and- decent citizen with a sense of shame. Joseph Bitner, the Anti-Masonic Governor of 1836-39, because of his imbecile and wretchedly corrupt administration, became a byword of reproach and contempt in our political history. This was that gloomy era of debt and extrav agance, of Erie Canals, Tapeworm Railroads, Kittanning feeders, of “breach repairs on the Pennsylvania Canal," and of corrupt expenditures of all imaginable descrip tions, until finally the solvency, of the Com monwealth reeled with exhaustion, and fell prostrate under the cruel burdens it was impossible longer to Bustain. Governor Ritner passed into a condition of political nonentity at the end of his unfortunate official term ; and it required, as all oandid men will admit, several successive Democratic trations to relieve the State from the financial embarrassments and moral odium into which the Opposition had plunged it. In 1848, William F. Johnston was unexpectedly elected Governor by a few votes majority, over his worthy and amiable competitor, but it is well known, that like Governor Ritner, so soon as the Democratic party evicted him from office, he was.'made the scape-goat of the sins of his unprincipled party friends and supporters, and was driven forth by them to perish amidst the rocks and thorns of the Opposition wil dernes, as an expiatory sacrifice to an offended people. In 1854, that extraordinary irruption of ignorance and vice, called Know-Nothing ism, in the shape of an ofganized, secret conspiracy against common sense, public virtue, and our free institutions,’making Hiss the ruling spirit of the Massachusetts Legis lature, and George Law a favorite candidate for the Presidency of the United States, and filling our peaceful citizens with malignant hatred of class against class, with murders and conflagrations, also fixed upon James Pollock as its fit representative in the first Executive office of this Commonwealth. But we need not inform you, that at the conclusion of his three years of incumbency at Harris burg, Mr. Pollock disappeared beneath the popular tide that swept him from the Chief Magistracy, and no man has since heard any political reference to. his acts or .his name, except in condemnation and derision. Nevertheless it cannot be denied with any truth, that the Opposition obtained in the instances to which we have referred, the temporary successes which resulted so dis astrously to our State and people by similar deceptive acts, false promises and deceitful professions of sham patriotism, which are being made at this very time by the two combined opposition factions of Black Re publicans and Know Nothings to compass their disreputable ends. If they presented them selves with their special factious* characteris tics, either as Black Republicans or Know Nothings, or if they honestly united the two under one really descriptive appellation and called themselves, what they are, the Black Republican Know Nothing party, their experienced leaders are perfectly aware that an inevitable defeat would await them. They must admit that the people of the United States, including those of Pennsylva nia, stamped their indignant seal of lasting reprobation in 1855, on the Know Nothing conspiracy, and that in the memorable Presidential contest of 1856 the country generally, and this old conservative State particularly, repudiated the sectional demon strations of the Black Republican agitators. They comprehend the people too well not to know that they are hardly so credulous as wilfully to swallow in one nauseous dose a oompound whose unpalatable ingredients they have already separately rejected. In order to escape such a dilemma, Black Republicanism and Know Nothingism, under the immediate and joint außpices of a Cameron, a Wilmot, a Pollock, a Swope, a Grow, a Johnston, et id omne genus , have been, as it were, instantly converted by the light and feathery words of a preamble and resolution, and without even a decent period for incubation, into a full fledged Phoenix of a “People's party." Within the last twenty years the Opposition has exhibited a surprising versatility in the effort to invent for themselves some new and agreeable fancy appellation. They have tried “National Republicans," “Anti- Masonic," “Whig," “American," Know- Nothing," “ American Republican," “ North American," and “ South American," and now seek to commend themselves to popular favor and to impose on the popular credulity by the illusory title of “ The People’s Party." It iB not our object to find fault with the Opposition for amusing themselves with these repeated changes of party style or title. We readily admit that there is nothing sufficiently definite, or descriptive in the principles they profess, to make one name for them more suitable than another. But knowing that the expression “People’s Party" has been assumed as an artful trick lor purposes of imposition, we desire to attract the attention of the public by way of precaution to such dishonest pretensions. We unhesitatingly ' aver that no one can point to a Bingle | administrative act within the last thirty years distinctively Opposition in its conception and execution, that has ever been of the least advantage to the people of Pennsylvania. The most eloquent and hopeful member of the “ People’s Party ” will exhaust himself in denunciatory criticism of Democratic measures, but he neither will, nor can, point to any public act or measure distinguishing an honeßfc and enlightened policy on the part of the Opposition. One of the marked traits of the Opposition is to indulge profusely in promises which they never oan perform. They ingeniously construct captivating sen tences so as to convey some worthless promise in apparently truthful language. They would delude both capitalist and laborer by loudly proclaiming their zeal in favor of Home or Manufacturing Industry, when they are perfectly conscious of their impotence to control the Federal legislation required to that end, insomuch that in 1857, when the whole Opposition Party of the country managed by an united effort to organize the House of Representatives at Washington, with Mr. Banks as Speaker, and the command of every important committee in that body, the tariff rates in the celebrated act of 1846 were thought to be too high, and the act of 1857 with a lower rate of taxation was substituted for that of 1846 in conformity with the recommendations of a Report made to the House by an Opposition Committee, and ratified by the votes of a majority of Opposition members. They now profess to be anxious to patronize the naturalized citi zens, and even appeal to them with obstreper ous lungs as the natural and especial friends and champions of free labor and free speech. Bat when their Black Republican allies in Massachusetts have insulted the adopted citizens as a class by denying to them in a recent amendment of the State Constitution, the privilege of voting or holding office for two years af;cr their full and perfect citizen ship has been secured under the laws of the United States, and even when the same restriction mast be regarded as invading the privileges of Pennsylvania and every other State in the Union, in the matter of the rights of citizens of the several States, as described in the Federal Constitution, they suffer the gross insult and outrage to pass without a single word of objection, and continue an uninterrupted alliance with those who have perpetrated this bold and inexcusable wrong. They profess too, to be economists in respect to Government expenses, and the disbursement of the Government revenues, and yet such hollow hearted professions are unblushiDgly published in the very presence of the fact that nearly the whole sum of the forty mil lions of debt nuw borne by the State, was created by them in the prosecution of an ill devised system of Public Works, improvidently designed and corruptly managed, and since sold for one fourth of their immense cost, the State not being indisposed to get rid of them even at this terrible loss. In fine, we emphat ically here assert that no man in Pennsylva nia, no matter what his business, and no matter whether rioh or poor, has ever been benefited by any promise, profession or aot of the Opposition, under the designation of the “ People’s Party/’ or of any other it has ever taken, in its insidious efforts to seduce public opinion and to secure official position. But at the present moment the ambitious policy of the Oppostion, not content with the patronage and plunder of a State Government, embraces in its mischievous intentions a wider sphere of action. The question now is, not whether a Ritner,a Johnston, or a Pollock shall abuse the chief magistracy of the State ; nor is it whether Pennsylvania shall be rob bed of a few millions. It is not whether the Masonic Societies shall be arraigned, or whether a portion of our citizens shall be vio lently dispossessed of their civil and religious rights. The issue is a still more serious one than any of these. We are on the eve of an election that must necessarily exert an impor tant bearing on the next great Presidential contest which, with all of its consequences for good or ill, will most likely be determined by her electoral vote. In every one of the seven teen free States, except in Pennsylvania, the Opposition is self-recognized as the Republican, and by the Democracy is denominated Black Republican party. In Pennsylania alone we have a “ People’s party.” But the People’s party of Pennsylvania is an integral party of the general Opposition, and is represented as such in the common organization which has established its so called “ National ” commit tee at Washington. You perceive, therefore, that the “ People’s party ” is merely an elec tioneering trick or scheme of Opposition to draw the States of Pennsylvania into that Northern sectional movement, which, although successfully resisted by the unshaken conser- our law loving people in 1856, they hope to see consummated with their apparent consent in 1860. It is plain then that every citizen who yields his support to the ticket of the “ People’s party,” at this election, is pre pared to offer an open and dangerous encour agement to that sectional demonstration so repugnant in its whole scope and objects, to the wise teachings of our fathers, and which the people of Pennsylvania bad the good sense and sound patriotism to reject three yearß ago. The merchants, farmers and yeomen of Penn sylvania, have to decide incidentally next Tuesday week, and finally, a year from that day, whether they will submit or not to the Constitution and laws as interpreted by the Supreme Court, or put the Uuion and the peace of the State at hazard by insisting on a political agitation inconsistent with settled law. They must decide whether Pennsylva nia will yet maintain that conservative indi viduality that has moulded her whole politi ical history, or whether she shall follow the lead of fanatical Massachusetts to the very edge of thp dark gulf of civil ruin opening wide beneath our feet, when the august author ity of the highest judicial tribunal and the plain provisions of the Constitution, are derided, insulted and overthrown by an angry agitation conscious of nothing but its own terrific passions. Citizens of Pennsylvania, the counts of the ballots will decide whether you stand for order, reason and the law, and for the pros perous avocations of industrial life guaranteed alone by the publio tranquility, or whether you will lend your countenance and aid to the turbulent spirit of Sectional strife now ready to invoke consequences which may be as des tructive as they may be irremediable.

Perils of Ballooning. —The aeronauts, Messrs La Mountain and Haddock, have at last turned up, after an absence of ten days. They ascended from Watertown, New York, and after a flight of between four and five hours duration, they descended one hundred and fifty miles north of Ottawa, in the great Canada wilderness. Here they travelled aboot during four days, without food or even the means of striking a fire, and were finally rescued by a gentleman who was hunting with Indian guides. CITY &RD COCSTY IFFAY & S 3 The Agricultural Fair. 'he Third Annual Exhibition of the Lan *r County Agricultural and Mechanical Society com- menced ou Tuesday last, and will conclude to-day (Satur day). Tbe display io every department was one of the finest we have ever seen—although some two or three were not so full as they might have been, yet the articles exhib ited were altogether those of a first class. The attendance of vißito s was the largest of any exhibition which the Society has yet held, and it has proved a complete success, pecuniarily and otherwise —thus effectually stopping the mouth* of the croakers and interested parties who predicted The arrangements for Cattle were very complete, and although the number on exhibition was not so large as last year, they were of a much superior quality. Of Horses, there was a large and exceedingly fine display, embracing some of the most splendid-looking animals we have ever seen. The trials of speed on the “track” attracted immense crowds of people. The pens for Sheep and Swine were filled with some fine specimens. Messrs. Hotter, Woods and William Coleman exhibited the finest display. The latter gentleman had a pig, not yet six months old, which, we think, was the neatest specimen of a young porker on the ground. The Poultry Department was filled with numerous speci mens of domestic fowls, all in the finest condition. They included nearly all the names in the chicken, etc., Tocab, ulary. We noticed in this department two large eagles who perched themselves in their cages as if they were monarchs of all they surveyed.” Specimens of Wheat, Rye and other Grains were exhib- ited by different individuals. Baskets of Corn, and stalks with the ears attached, of different varieties, formed a part of this department. The Horticultural Department was well filled, and formed one of the most attractive portions of the Exhibi tion. Tbe huge clusters of grapes, large and delicious looking apples, choice pears, plums, and other fruits, were almost irresistibly tempting, and many a visitor found it difficult to obey the injunction of “Hands Off!” which stared them in the face at every turn. The Vegetable Department was very creditable. Enor mous pumpkins, potatoes, turnips, beets, cabbages, squash es, onions, carrots, celery, and we don’t know what else, were here displayed in great abundance. The Mechanical Department was an object of great attrac tion. The fine display of Cabinet Ware, Carriages, Carriage Wheels, Iron Axles, Hardware, Stoves, Harness, Sleighs, Leather, 4c., 4c., were greatly admired by the immense crowds which thronged the halls devoted to this particular department. The products of the dairy, and the display of articles of female handiwork, such as snow wh|tp bread, cakes, jellies, jams, pickles, etc., redui}tn|ed greatly to the credit of the “Old Guard’s” wives and daughters. In the line of Farming Implements of every variety, aod for all uses, there was no lack. A porfect wilderness of Reapers, Mowerß, Corn Planters, Drills, Patent Cider Mills, 4c., 4c., was on that portion of the ground assigned these articles. A number of tbe machines were kept in constant operation, and were surrounded by curious spectators. Clark’s Flouring Mill, Hersh’s Improved Rake, Stamm’s Patent Lever Jacks, Paulick 4 McCully’s Improved Sugar Cane Crasher, and Reidel’s Combined Corn Sheller and Cleaner were objects of great interest.

The Hall of Fine Arts, in the opinion of your Committee, was most tastefully and elegantly arranged, and we deem it our duty to state that much credit is not only due to Messrs. Kline, Foltz and Shertz for the art and. skill they displayed on this occasion, but the attention and interest they so cheerfully manifested towards the exhibitors and visitors were universally admitted. We aTe pleased to report that a great number of articles exhibited were the skill ot young ladies and gentlemen, evidence of the fact that your creditable exertions have b96Q beneficial to the rising generation. In justice to the Ladies, we are compelled to remark that amongst the rare gems of art were to be seen the exquisite and beautiful handiwork of the fair sex of this community. We do not say this in fulsome praise, but in all truthful ness and gratification. We report that the needle work, embroidery and great variety of fancy work exhibited on this occasion surpassed anything we have ever seen, and wo congratulate your honorable Society for the encourage ment and approbation bestowed upon you by the Ladies of Lancaster City qnd County. We might fill seyeral columns with descriptions of the articles exhibited, as we took,notes ofagreat many things on the ground, but want of room, and going to press on Saturday afternoon, render this impossible. it would be unnecessary, as most, if not all, of our readers have'been to the Fair to see for themselves. Tho principal attractions on the ground on Thursday were the trials of speed. During the day the “track” was constantly occupied, and many exciting and closely con tested “trotting matches” came off to the delight of thous ands of admiring spectators. All the noted “whips” oNhe city and county were present, and njany from sur rounding counties, who brought with them their well trained “nags” to contest for the premiums. The Ladles’ Equestrian Exercises were to take place to day, but at the hour of going to press we had not learned the result. The Feneibles’ Band discoursed their finest music during the progress of tho Exhibition. It is estimated that there were from 10 to 12,000 people on the ground on Thursday, and a larger number of ladies attended this Fair than we have ever seen at any other, and the interest they manifested in the snccess mnst cer tainly be highly encouraging and flattering to tho officers and managers. In conclusion, we congratulate the officers and managers upon the complete success of the Third Annual Exhibition of the Lancaster County Agricultural and Mechanical So ciety. It proves that these annual fairs are growing in popularity with our people; and that with renewed exer tions Lancaster will rank first, as she ought to, among the Agricultural Societies of the State. —Some farther notice of the Fair will be given next week, when we expect to be able to give a full list of tho Premiums which were awarded to-day. It Woulp'nt Work ! —Tho f ‘ People's Mass Meeting,” at Fulton Hall, on Thursday evening, was, to say the most of it, a very slim gathering. The Hail was about two-thirds filled, a goodly number of the audience being Democrats, and .the whole affair was as tame and spiritless a scene as wo ever witnessed. It was a sort of one-sided affair, too, the abolition faction of the party having every thing pretty much their own way. A. H_ Hoop, Esq., presided, apd the orators were not Morton Michael and Thaddeus Stevens, who were announced on the bills, but Thomas E. Coohran and Oliver J. Dickey ! The speakers could not raise a cheer, and the meeting adjourned, at an early hour, as quietly as though return ing from a funeral. Runaway.— On yesterday afternoon, Mr. Clifford Haldeman, of Columbia, who was driving a spir ited horse, attached to a buggy, returning from the Fair Grounds, aDd with whom in the vehicle were two yonng ladies, Miss Mowret, daughter of Mr. George B. Mowriy, residing in East King street, and Miss Kino, daughter of Mr. George King, residing in East Orange street, on at tempting to pass another carriage in Mulberry street, one of the lines broke, and the horse started off at full speed, Mr. H. being unable to manage hirq. The animal went on at afurious rate, and when near Bt, John’s Free Church the buggy struck a pos*, when all three were thrown out- Mr. H. and Miss King escaped with alight injuries, but Mlbs Mowrey was badly cut about the head and face, and is now lying in a rather dangerous condition at her father’s residence. The Great Show Coming.—The great con solidated Exhibition—known aB L. B. Lent’s Mammoth National Circus—will exhibit in this city on Tuesday 4he 15th inst This unusual attraction iB from the National Circus and Theatre, Philadelphia, and Nlbio’s Garden, New York, and la spoken of in the highest terms by the press at every place they have visited during the summer. For particulars see advertisement. The McFillan Case. —Judge Haines, of Chester county, on Saturday morning last, decided that the recognizance of the McFillan homicide case shoultlvbe made returnable to Lancaster county. This decides that McFillan is to be tried in this county. Sale of Property. —Last week the “Black Horse Hotel” property, in North Queen street, was sold at public sale for the sum of $15,500, to Messrs. Shultz, Bard & Forney, and the store property occupied by Hirsh Bros, on the same street, was bought by them from Mr. Jacob Oriel, for the sum of $ll,OOO, cash. This is an evidence that whatever drawbacks Lancaster has bad within a few years past, real estate, at least, holds its own. Destructive Fire at Elizabethtown.— The machine shop, carpenter shop, tool-hOQse and other small buildings, belonging to tbe Harrisburg, Mount Joy, and Lancaster Railroad company, at Elizabethtown, were entirely consumed by fire on Monday night last. A locomotive, used in repairing the road, was also burned. Very few of tbe tools used in the shop were saved. Tho fire was accidental. Hebreif Fast. —Our Hebrew friends com menced a rigorous fast—styled by them Yomhakipurim— last evening at 6 o’clock, continuing until this evening (Saturday) at the same hoar, during which time they totally abstain from indulgence In food. This, if we are rightly informed, Is one of their most Bolemn fasts, and is rigorously kept hy most of them. Their places of business are closed, and their Synagogue was open last evening, and also tosiay for appropriate religious services. The Synagogue is open to all, and those who have any curiosity to gratify in witnessing their religious customs and obssrv ances are welcome to enter. Removal. —The Ticket Office of the Penn gylvania Railroad Company in this city will be removed to the office of Reese’s City Hotel, North Qneen street, on Monday next. The selection is a good one—the location being convenient to the railroad, and the accommodations for passengers of the first order. It will be kept there until the new Depot Is completed. Change of Hour. — By reference to a sup plement to an ordinance iu the advertising columns, It will be seeD that Councils have changed the hoar for opening tho day markets from 9 until 8 o’clock. The or dinance will go into effect on Wednesday morning next, the 12th inst. Those people interested should make a note of tbe change. For The Intelligencer. BEADING AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD —LANCASTER A POINT. The baildiDg of this railroad, authorized by legislative act, to run “from any point in the City of Reading to the east end of Columbia Bridge, in the Borough offolumbia,” is now engaging the attention of others along the route recently surveyed— via Ejjhrata, Litiz, Manheim, Salunga and Cbesnut Hill. No course for the road, nor are auy intermediate points fixed in the act, hence Lancaster could be made one with out violation of Charter; bat as no movements to that end have been started, the inference is, that the projectors of the road, in that connection, have arranged “to pass by on the other side.” The old apathy respecting railroad facilities here, still exists and flourishes in Lancaster. As in the case of the original location of the Columbia and Philadelphia Rail road, 30 years ago, when the people manifested so little interest in that great work, that a few designing men had the line carried nearly a mile north of tho city—avoiding it entirely—so now, when a, connection with a road of no less importance might be effected with some little effort and pecuniary encouragement, the citizens appear wholly uuconcerned about it. The advantage this road would be to Lancaster, must be obvious alter proper consideration. Besides opening a new railroad transit to tho seaboard, and providing competition thereto for trade and travel, its proximity to the coal region would doubtless avail the consumers of stone coal in the place and vicinity several thousand dollars per annum. A glance at the topography of the country on Scott s map of Lancaster county, between Epbrata and Columbia od the route referred to. iu the absence of any reconnoi s&nce, leads to the conclusion, that crossing as it does the dividing ridges of streams, a road there would be insep arable from either the objoctionable feature-* of steep inclinations or of heavy expenditure for graduation, or perhaps bqth. That such idea to the full extent would be realized, “ there is no rubbing out,” an far as regards Chestnut Hill. The lowest summit of that formidable barrier, reduced some 40 feet, is not accessible from Columbia at a less grade than 100 feet per mile for a dis tance of three miles; and thence the Chlquesalunga Valley, unless very circuitously approached at a trifling lower gradient. This circumstance In all probability will chump an abandonment of the route across Chesnut Mill, and a substitution of one aloug-Cbiquesalunga Creek, to unite with the Branch Railroad about two miles above Colum bia; or an intersection, with the consent of the company, with the Peunsvlvania Railroad at some suitable polut will be sought, in that ovent the decision would likely bo swayed by the Columbians, whose interests and preferences it Is fair to supposo would incline to the latter alternative, and the locality of the junction would be then for determination. Presuming that Kphrala will be a “ruling or fixed point of the liue, no butter course for a Railroad, with respect to direction, favorable character of tho ground and easy grades need be desired, thau can be found between that place and Lancaster. leaving Epbrata, the Cocalico Valley would be pursued to its encounter with the Valley of the Conestoga; thence the latter would be traced in tho viciDity of Oregon, and Leman’s Rifle factory, passing near the premises of Jacob Espenshado, Rohrer, late Conroy’s, Levi S. Heist and llertzler; through Stain baugh’s orchard at the Litiz turnpike, between the mansion and tenant houses, and thence by a straight lino with Franklin and Marshall College for an object, to the intersection of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the city of Lancaster, near the crossing of the Harrisburg turnpike and the property of Hon. Henry G. Long. The length of this part of tho road would bo about 12*4 miles; thonco by the Penna. Railroad to Columbia, 11 miles; making tho distance from Epbrata to Columbia 2314 miles. By the route already surveyed, tho distance between those points is about tho same, and tho whole would be new work; whereaß, by the latter route through Lancaster, without exceeding the length of the former, a saving of 11 miles of new road would be affected, and half the cost of the other in grading and superstructure—or say, at a low estimate, the sum of $175,000. It scarcely, therefore, will be guinsayed, that Lancaster, above all other places, is the best one for the junction with the Penna. Railroad, and, without hesitation, should be made a “ruling point” in the final location of the road from Reading to Columbia. Most of tho money required to build the road is expected from Now York«capitalists, who will hardly so far forget their interests as to adopt a line across the country, through Litiz, Manheim, Ac., it a better one for half the money, of the saihe length, can be had via Lancaster and the Penna. Railroad. , . , With large odds in favor of Lancaster, it is reasonable to believe that this railroad connection there can bo accomplished by timely agitation of tho subject by the citizens generally, and a liberal stock subscription on tho part of such of them as may have 1 h qqMMU2?IC A.TFD Walking on Water.— On Saturday after nootr; Mr-.-ffieock performed his promised feat of walking on water, in the presence of about a score of witnesses. The river Pon, near the Don Station, was the scene of this unrivaled exploit. A little after 3 o'clock, three or four members of the Press, with Mr. Goodenough, proceeded to the appointed spot, where Mr. Hicock’was waiting having come in a boat through the Bay. He was accompanied by another person in the boat. As the few spec tators who had been invited to witness this preliminary trial approached the river, they saw Mr. Hicock stalking away upon the water, his companion resting quietly in the boat at a distance. He walked a distance of two or three hundred yards with complete success, when the spectators, of whom the number had been increased by the knowledge of what was going on obtaining circulation at the station, being satisfied with,the success of the opera tion, desired him to desist. He walks on water-shoes, as the Indians do on anow-Bhoes, and did not sink in more than six or seven inches. The water shoes which he used are the first ever made ; and as the idea of walking on water did not strike him till a fortnight ago, he had very little time to practice. He showed no difficulty, however, in keeping his equilibrium, sometimes with a wand, and sometimes with nothing in his hand. He sat aside the boat occasionally hip water-shoes hanging over the sides. This fact is clearly established: walking on the water is possible. The water walking is in its infancy ; and who shall say to what perfection it may be brought? —Toronto Globe. Melancholy Shooting Case at an Encamp ment. —Our citizens were startled, early od Saturday morning last, by the announcement that James Platt, of Ennisville, Huntingdon county, a private in the “ Jackson Artillery,“ was mortally wounded by a shot from a musket in the hands of Edward Mills, of Patterßon, a private in the “Ringgold Infan try, ” at the Camp Ground, on the previous night, between nine and ten o'clock. Mr. Mills was on duty as a sentinel, and was strictly charged not to permit any person to pass the line without giving the countersign. Mr. Platt approached the camp, and was challenged by Mr. Mills with “ Who gbes there ? ” to which the former replied, “Hold j on stranger—l want to speak with yuq, ” and i walked towards the latter. When within a few paces of him, Mills ordered him to stop, and was in the act of charging bayonet; when his foot struck a stone, the concussion of which discharged the musket, the contents entering the abdomen of Platt. The musket waß load ed with an eight-penny nail, which entered the left epigastrium, pierced the stomach, passed oh through the body, and made its exit about an inch from the vertebral : column, inflicting a ghastly wound. Mills immediately surren dered himself, and was placed under guard. On the following morning, after an investiga tion, he was released, all the facts elicited showing that the discharge of the gun was accidental. Drs. Worrall and Van Yalzah were sent for without delay, to dress the wounds of Mr. Platt, and were unremitting in their attentions to him, exerting all that medical and surgical skill could suggest, until Monday afternoon, when he expired. Both Mr. Mills and Mr. Platt were esteemed in their respective homes as quiet, sober, respectable, inoffensive pien—both are married men, the .latter having a wife and three chil dren —and both are members of tho Methodist church, the former, it is said, a class leader. While the sympathy of the whole community is extended to the bereaved family of the de ceased, in their deep affliction, the sore distress and bitter agony experienced by Mr. Mills, over the unfortunate occurrence, enlist for him the warmest feelings and commiseration. Mr. Platt, upon his death bed, exhonerated Mr. Mills from all blaipe. The remains of Mr. Platt were taken to Milroy, in this county, where he formerly resided, for interment. His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, at one o’olock, from the Red Lion Hotel. . , The Logan Guards, Irwin Guards, Ringgold Infantry, Jackson Artillery, Belleville Fenct bles, and Kishacoquillas Cavalry, accompa nied the remains, and he was buried with the honors of war. P. S.—Since writing the above, Mr. Mills has been arrested by tho civil authorities, but, upon a. hearing before Judge Wilson, was per mitted to enter into a recognizance for his appearance at November Court.— ■Leuristoujn (jPa.)

This interesting couple walked eight miles to the residence of the officiating magistrate,'to- get the nuptial knot tied; and after dinner, having had a merry time with a large oompany, who had assembled to witness the ceremony, re turned home, making a walk of 16 miles for the day, without rod or Btaff.
