THE NATIONAL EXHIBITION
IMPORTED BLOOD
AND AMERICAN BREEDS OF HORSES,
WILL BE HELD ON
fie}•stone Park Agricultural Fair Grovuda,
Williamsport, Pa.,
ON TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY, SEPT., 5,5, 4 AND 5,1565.
Premium Lig and Prize Banner open to Exhibitors
from the Canada and British Provinces.
The managers flatter themselves that, al
though the past exhibitions held in other parts
of the United States have been eminently suc
ceaul and entirely satisfactory to the public,
the past experience will enable them to im
prove somewhat in the details of the arrange
ments, and in this connection they hope to
give greater facilities for the deliberate exam
ination and trial of horses intended for sale.
Williamsport is easily and quickly accessible
from all directions. Keystone Park is unequal.
ed in its track for showing and training a horse.
The managers dedgn to make this a horse
mart, worthy of its central position, and its
extraordinary facilities.

may arise to the award. All horses not obtain
ing premiums, which, in the opinion of the

so reported to the Board of Managers
The Judges, if not satisfied as to the regular
ity of the entrees in the respective classes, or
the ages of the horses as recorded in the en
tries. will apply to the Recording Secretary for
information, and should there be any doubt,
after examination, of their coming within the
regulations, or if any horse is of such a charac
ter as not to be entitled to exhibition in com

sideration of the Board of Managers, that
such course may be adopted as the case may re

Death of General T-wiggs.
H.RAIQUARTI39, July 18
The frog of truce went up yesterday to Tur
key Island creek,having on board General Dix,
who went to meet Gen. Hill for the purpose of
making a permanent arrangement for an ex
change of prisoners. The interview was highly
satisfactory, but no conclusion being arrived at
the flag of truce will return to-day, when Gen.
Lee will be present.
The Richmond papers of the 18th (to-day)
contain an account of the death of Gen. Twiggs,
who died at Augusta, July 16th.
An Englishman, who represented himself as
the son of the Duke of Somerset, was found at
headquarters a few days since, under suspicions
circumstances. He stated that he was with
the 'rebel Gen. Pryor during the recent battle
of seven days. He has been sent North.
The Siege of Vicksburg.
PROGRESS OF OPERATIONS.
Letters from before Vicksburg to the 10th
instant, give the following particulars of the
progress, or rather non-progress, of operations
there:
p v v l iolprpfolipLlF44:lo:lsyity.l:il).ls:46lip
The night was very bright and beautiful, the
atmosphere softly voluptuous and deliciously
enervating, though far too warm for comfort
able repose ; and we sat or strolled listlessly on
deck, watching the course of the bombs, ten or
twelve of which►. were in the air at the same
time, and their frequent, explosion above"the
tree on the peninsula opposite the city, not
without a large degree of martial satisfaction. •
Many of the shells seemed to burst within
the limits of the city, immediately over the
principal buildings; but we were unable to de
termine whether they did or not. It is hardly
probable they did, however, as the purpose of
our commanders is to destroy the efficacy of
the batteries instead of the structures of the
town.
We hear this morning that a general attack
will be made by Farragnt and Davie' gunboats
upon Vicksburg in a day or two, with the hope
of driving the enemy from his intrenchments,
and holding them by means of the fleets lying
in front of the town. This movement has not
yet been determined on, I believe, and many
of our. officers declare nothing can, or ought to
be done, until we have large , reinforcements to
our land forces.
IMEORTAD LOBB OF TIM REMIT IN VICKSBURG
' Vicksburg presents no appearance of having
been injured by our firing thee far, though it
was reported on the fleet yesterday that three
of the female citizens of the town had been
killed by the explosion of a bomb, while walk
ing along Washington street. The story is
entirely untrue, I think
.; but if it is correct,
the victims have no one but themselves to
blame. Who ever heard of women remaining
in a besk;ged city, and pursuing the avocations
usual to peace , ?

NO DESERTERS FROM TEE BESIEGED OITE
One thing noticeable here is that we have no
deserters from Vicksburg. At other points, as
Island No. 10 and Fort Piliow, there was a
constant stream of informants from the ene
my's camp ; but in this vicinity the soldiers are
probably too closely watched to gain opportu
nities for escape. That there are hundreds of
men in Van Dorn's command who are disatis
fied and disaffected there is no question, and
who would gladly come within our lines if they
could do so without fear of discovery in the at
tempt.

AFFAIRS IN TEXAS.
Be=pious, July 19.
The following are extracts from the latest
rebel, journals to hand :
We conversed on Monday afternoon with a
gentleman just from Texas and the West who
gives us some very interesting particulars of
the state of affairs on his route. Be had been
three weeks on the road, traveling by land
most of the way, and crossing the Red river
twenty-five miles below Vicksburg. The latter
place was then being bombarded, and numbers
of the houses riddled.
At Shrevepsid_tbr.N. .ukee tradingsteamers
came uP I2O bt.--..c.aro to trade.
parties on board exhibited counterfeit
passports, and endeavored to pass themselves
off as Confederates. Both of them brought be
tween twenty and thirty thousand pairs of cot
ton cards, the balance of their cargo being com
posed of boots, shoes, and other much needed
articles in the South. The authorities, how
-1 ever, were too quick for them,and the military
commander of the post seized the vessels, put
the parties on board in prison, put up the goods
at auction, and turned over the proceeds to the
Confederate Treasury. Two steamers of a sim
ilar character being reported below at the
mouth of the iDuchita river, an expedition, con
elating of a detachment of four hundred men,
was sent off to seize these also. Our informant
did not learn the result at the time he left.
From the various plantations along the river
below' Vicksburg the enemy have impressed
more than two thousand negroes into service,
besides taking off all the mules, wheelbarrows,
spades, &c., they could lay hold of. They
stated their object to be the digging of a canal,
for the purpose of cutting off Vicksburg from
the Mississippi, and thus get command of the
whole river, enabling them to navigate with
out getting under the guns of our batteries.—
Vicksburg, it is then said, will be as it were
four or five miles out in the country. The
general impression was that they would suc
ceed in this nefarious scheme, by the aid of
their fleets, our forces not being able to reach
them.
The Yankees promised to return the negroes
as soon as they had finished their canal. The
people, however, have determined they shall
never take Vicksburg. The four thousand
men they attempted to land were driven off
with the loss of thirteen killed and a large
number wounded. Had our batteries restrain
ed their fire a little longer it is believed the
whole force could have been captured.
The enemy fired fifteen inch shell at the town
of Vicksburg. These, where they struck the
ground in different places, had made holes ful
ly twelve feet deep. Our troops, under Van
Dorn, are worked up to the highest pitch of
enthusiasm, and are extremely eager for a fight.
The army was very healthy, the positions
around Vicksburg being a succession of hills,
affording fine campaign ground with excellent
water. Provisions were also coming in plenti
fully.
The people are burning their cotton almost
everywhere along the river, and far back in the
country. This feeling is universal, and they
do not consider it any sacrifice. One widow
lady who had about eight hundred bales, had
set fire to it and burned every bale. hen
told beforehand that there was no danger for
her, she replied that she felt anxious and un
easy in having it around her. Even in Texas
every man has hie cotton so stored as to be
able to apply the torch when necessary. Some
had their bales piled on foundations of light
wood.
The grain crop in Texes, from the Rio Grando
to Red river, this year, is the largest one ever
known in that State. Occasionally small patch
es of cotton are seen, but this is planted for
home use.
The conscript law was being folly enforced
in Texas, and the Government had summoned
every man between 35 and 45 to organize for
the defence of the State.
And order has been extended for every fam
ily to leave Galveston, it having been deter
mined, as in the case of Vicksburg, to defend
it to the last. This order has been complied
with, except by sox seven families. The par
ties being suspected, their homes were searched,
when the Stars and Stripes were discovered, in
tended to be hung out should the Federals
take-the city. All those guilty of such trea
son were taken out immediately and hung.
Prom the Richmond Enquirer, July 14.
We learn from a gentleman who crossed the
Chowan in the vicinity of the federal strong
hold in that section of North Carolina, a few
days ago, that the federal gunboats which have
for some time been kept in the river to meet
exigencies, have been withdrawn. They have
doubtless been sent to the protcction of Mo-
Clellan.
