• Oa Wednesday dast, the celebration of the Vom
;pledge of•this greatiwork, was commenced. The
,Preithleet of the United States, and his cabinet, with
other distinguished pericins, had been invited, and
had accepted , the invitation to .. _ be present. The
trains containing the guests, of the company left
the wharf at New . York, at 6 o'clock A. N. Along
the.. Tante, the winos* enthusiasm prevailed. At
every station, where the train halted, the inhabi
tants, of the surrounding country assembled, in
commemoration of the important event, and to see
thcecofflcial dignitaries, some of vthorn'have play
ed soimportaut a part in the history of our country.
At Elmira, preparations had been made to re
ceive the President, and also to do suitable honor
to the occasion. The military and fire companies
paraded in full uniform, making an 'imppsing ap
pearance.' The guests Were to stay over Eight and
proceed in the mornings) Dunkirk. At 6i o'clock
the booming of cannon and the shrill scream of the
locomotive, gave warning tbai the train was coming,
and in a few seconds, it came rushing up to the
station. A second, train was but a few minutes
later. The President and Cabinet, and the Direc
tors and Company of the Road, were received by
the Corinnittee of Reception. An address was de
livered by A. S. Divert Esq , which was responded
to very briefly, by Mr. Dorm, on the part of the
Company, and the President,_. and blessai".. Wes
ton, MILE, CRITTENDEN and GRAHAM were sever
ally introduced to the assemblage, and were of
course received with cheers. 'Each•answered in•a
feW words, very similarly, the substance of which
was that they were very happy to mingle their con
gratulation ,witirthofe of their auditory upon the
completion of the great work'. This ceremony be
ing
over, the President was escorted to Brainard's,
and the Cabinet to Haight'e.
Alter allowing some time for rest, the military;
firemen;and citizens, who seemed to expect some
speecher e gathered in front Of Haight',, and called
upon WCElitEit, and succeeded In brlnging out
the Godlike. His speech, of perhaps ten minute.s,
was not remarkable. • He scowled upon the mass
of upturned human faces, as if he was reluctant
and-unwilling. And it seemed to us as if charity
would h ave dictated that he should have been left
to quiet and repose. He is now an• old man, and
Time has laid a heavy finger upon him. Physi
cally he is a wreck, and we could not help think
ing as we gazed upon ; his sunken eye and hollow
„gbeek, better fitted tor the preparations which fit
= the world to come than ambitious longings for
elevation to office. It was with extreme difficulty
that he said the few words he addressed to the peo
ple. There was little of energy or Spirit about it,
though the lustre of his eye is undimmed ; and stern
and rigid he ejaculated.in precise:languagetis com
men place remarks, and then tottered away, with
a-frown upon his masive brow. He was undoubted
ly the great interest of the day. -His name and preE
once:overshadowed that of Pim-moue, and people
turned to him as the great attractioni • As the stran
gem appeared oponj i lte platform, or) the arrival of
of the cars, the universal inquiry• was, among the
assembled thousamls s ! , Which is Wausau: o Ilia

At Brainard's, the President was called •out, and
made a short address:- -He was. called upon during
the evening, by hcnd reds of-the citizens, ladies and
gentlemen, anxious to fay their. respects to the
Chief Executive of the Republic. Dodvrorth'scrile.
bra(ed baril, was stationed in the hall; and played
some of their best music. The President is a man
of fine personal appearanceond - very affable and
pleasant in his manners. We noticed in the rooms,
Gov. Dixacr,(his pantaloons being apparently in ex
cellent repair,) Hon. D. 8. Dicturson, f.° A. Cot..
use, 3. k. Sraxcla, and many other gentlemen of
tenown.
A magnificent entertainment was provided at
loth Hotels, served up at about 10 o'clock, Lir
which all-the luxuries of the markets Made accts•
Bible by the toad, were presided. , •
At 7 o'clock Thursday !naming, the two trains,
coMprising ten cars, filled with ihvited guests, left
Elmira for pankirk, where the graud celebration is
to take place. s
Among the visitors, was judge Dovause of flli.
nit's, who was stopping at the Brainard House. Dc.
ring the afternoon he addressed the firemen in a
neat and appropriate speech, which was received
with repeated plaudits. The Judge in his personal
manners and appearances is decidedly one of the
people, and made a very far - drab's,' impression.

AGRICULTURO. EXHIBITION.+As will be seen by
the proceedings of the Executive Committeepf the
Pcnusylvania State Agricultural society, says the
Union, the first agricultural fair will be held at
Harrisburg. It is to take place on the 224 4 233,
and 24th days of October next. As this is the first
step in a most important branch of Penr..sylvania
industry, we trust our . farmers will take hold of it
and make it an exhibition worthy of the State.—
Let every man prepare his best stock, such as
horses, mules, oxen, cows, sheep, bogs, turkeys,
geese, ducks, chickens, Sus., his grains, each as
wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, beans, peas,—his
garden vegetable, horticultural products, household
industry, and, when we have.added to this the ag=
ricultoral implements, and larm machinery in gen
eral, the whole will present an exhibition of the
highest interest to every man possessing a taste for
agricultural permits.
We trust that the entire press of the State will
take hold of this subject: and present it to our far
mers in such a view as to make 'a favorable
pression on their minds, and induce them to attend
the fair, to learn and Wiped their knowledge to
others.
CeIIIBILIFTION Or FOUV.TEI OV Jur.v.—Among
the numerous plans for commemorating our glorious
National4nniversary, Wilson St Co., of New York,
issue the mammoth Pictorial Brother Jonathan, made
expressly for the occasion. This year's Jonathan
has already been ptiblished, and is certainly a most
Isetattlia and appropriate sheet. Among the large
and splrii:d giclures is a scene in Boston harbor at
the boginning.of the Revolutionary War represent
ing a familiar, matter al history, viz : throwing the
tea overbaordirom the ship Damouth. This is ac
companied by a full hiitorical mutative of that ex
citing event. It is the leading feature of the, paper,
which contains, in the aggregate, some silty or
seventy engravings. It has also a historical mint ! •
tine (by Fennimore Cooper) of Columbus's
Voyage on the Discovery of America. We cannot
spare time to notice the contents of this grand pic
torial. Buy it for yourself, - reader-.-it is only 12
cents per copy, or ten for one dollar.
11.11CILT'e HOTEL, ELMULA —Upon the site of the
old Mansion , House, at Elmira, has been erected a
most magnificent hotel, of which Messrs. /Lunar
& SLY are the proprietor& The furnishing of the
house is upon an expensive and superb scale, and
we venture to say that no hotel in this country has
so many of the appliaiiCes of
,luxury r as this. No
expense his been spared. in decorating itt.d furnish.

fully provided with furniture. That the other ar

.111 r DeAtt Ste: I desire to repeat to you. in writ.
ing what I have constantly said to you• and• others
by word of mouth.,
Early in life I foimed a determination . never,to•
hold any political race; amt of course; osier to be
'a candidate for any. My hope was (might Iso
aspire I) to show that, without its titles and emote.
monis, something might be done for the good of
my fellow men.
Notwithstanding the strength of this determina
tion' often declared, I have, by the confidence of
the friends of freedom in Boston; more than once
been pressed into the position of candidate; and
now, by the nomination of the free soil and demo-
cratic members of the Legislature of Massachusetts
,
contrary to my desires specially made known to all
'who communicated with me on the subject, I have
been brought forward as their candidate for the
Senate of the United States. ~
Pardon me if I say, that personal regrets mingle
with my gratitude for the honor tat has been done
me. The office of penator, tho elevated and
important, is to me less wheals' , than other and
more quiet fields of labor. , ,
Besides, there am members of out ftnrlY, Yakked.
I gili
associates in oar severe struggle, ,Iciwhom I gladly_
defer,'es representatives of the ':principlesr which
we alt havent,heart. • . .
I trust, therefore. that the i ri s de of freedom in
the Legit.lature will not hesitste, i on any ground of
delicacy , toward me, to transfer , their. support _to
some other candidate, faithful la our cause. In
this matter; I pray you, do'not ill nk of me, I, have
no political prospects which I t eaire to nurse.--
There-is nothing in the political field which I covet,
Abaidon me, thm ' whenever you think best, with.
out notice or apol ogy . - Thif cease is everything;
lam nothing. i ,' ' i ,
I rely npon yea, in some proper way to comma.

Tim CALAVEDAS Ghost._Some etc months ago
a murder was 'Committed in Calaveras county by a
person unknown. The skull of the murdered man
was broken by sr stone or club, and his brains-wear
scattered upon the earth. The place was in tt
small ravine called Indian Creek, about two ,(tiles
the other side of Cassell's. Over the spot, it is•
said, a ghost has been hovered every since; and
that he performs various antics,. which even per
sons hitherto incredulous, now admit: Ilrel is dres
sed in a monkey junket, without Own, and is said
to throw stones' of a very extraordinary size up hid
with the velocity of a cannon ball H: P. Barber,
Esq., of this town, was at Coddington last week,
which place is near the scene, and remained them
over night. He says the account was related to tv
party of men who were stopping at the carne house,
who ridiculed the whole story. Some six or eight
of them finally agreed to go and see, They were
accordingly conducted to the haunted ground, and,
separating, they arranged themselves at various
points. so as to see each for himself, and to be
vu
prejudiced by any remarks of the others. Alter
waiting a short tomeirithout seeing' the ghost, and
just as they were nattering themsekes how heani.
ly they could laugh at their informant, one of the
party spied a strange looking object, such as we
have described above, moving about a short dis
tance froin him, and he - called out, 11 What's that!"
The party immediately] gave chase, but it distanced
theta and soon disappeared. When they retpmed,
strange to say, they,found it at the spot from which:
they had' chased it a few minutes before. Just:
then a huge stone fell at the feet of one of the 'men,
which, be said; must have been hurled by some'
miraculcius power. The party returned to the house
perfectly satisfied, and indippomd; to a man, to
ridicule the ghost: story. We have received a
similar' account from another Source, and the ghost
has: certainly made a great impreseion.--Senora'
