The first exhibition of the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society commenced in this borough on last Wednesday, and closed on Friday evening. The weather until noon ~01-24 Thursday was very fine; at that time rain 7 '''"”cottimerreed to fall 'and continued several .hours,- which rendered travelling disagreea ble and induced many visitors to return home. Notwithstanding the rain, the attendance du ring the whole of the fair and until its close was hrge The number. of articles exhibited was arge, beyond expectation, and the display uch finer than was anticipated. It is yet more creditable when we learn that a portion of the county only was represented, arid ma ny townships did not send a single article. A band of music was in attendance. In the ring prepared, the lovers of horses dis played the good qualities of their "bloods" and their own graces in riding and driving. The display of horses was not large, yet there were some fine animals, including a number of good young colts. There were no swine exhibited. Among the neat cattle we observed several young bulls, Durham and Devonshire cows and heifers, and a pair of monster steers owned by Gen. John McComb of Union township, and weighing it is said, each, over two thou sand pounds. In one of the stalls was a fawn about three months old caught by Jacob Hetrick, on the head waters of Mill Creek. The sheep were of the Lee - eister and South Down breeds, and looked very well. In the poultry department, were Spanish, Creelie and Shanghai chickens 3 white and common ducks; Holland and Chinese geese, and turkeys. We saw on the mechanical department, several very handsome buggies from the shop of Owen Boat of this borough, and Alex. De Armitt of Hollidaysburg; a number of far mer's implements rnanufactnred by S. B. Haines, Lewistown, J. N. Ball. Huntingdon, W. & G. W. Walter, & Peter Tippery, Shaf fersville, N. Watkins, and i. Grafins, Alex andria, and Wm. Loutitt &" Co., Mill Creek; and elegantly mad;.i and finely polished hand hammer .by Jacob ISenber,e; a pair of horse shoes from the shop of "Bergans & Grim : self-sealing fruit-cans made by Joseph H. Thompson, and many other articles. Fruit was abundant and of the finest va rieties. Among the apples we noticed the Smokehouse, Grey house, Sweet Bell-flower, Sweet Pippin, Esopus Spitzeuberg, Winter Greening, Bullock Pippin, Lady Paradise, Lady's Choice, Red Streak, Tulpehocken, Red Doctor, English Russet, Hopper. Cart house, Pound, Black, Pennock, Rambo, White Sweet, Lady's Sweet, &c. Very large ripe peaches, pears, grapes of many varieties, quinces, &c., added to the display. The vegetables were comprised of cabbage of several varieties, red and sugar beets, pumpkins, soup, and butter beans, red and -yellew sweet and common potatoes ; a kind of turnip called Kohl Rabi, grown by H. W. Miller of this place, egg fruit, water melons, squashes, tomatoes, &c. Of the grains were white and red wheat, rye, corn on the ear, buckwheat; Lee and Baden corn on the stalk, and a few giant stalks of common, raised by James Simpson, measuring about fourteen feet in length.—ln the class florals were annuals and perennials.— The jellies and preserves were fine. A number of handsome quilts were exhibi ted and many other articles of ladies' fancy work. The display 'of paintings, pen,.and pencil sketches by male and female artists of our county reflect great credit on their au thors. There appears to be but one sentiment with those who attended the exhibition, that of universal satisfaction. Its tendency is cer tainly for good, and it is to be hoped that the interest now awakened may, by the time of another exhibition, be inr;reased so that the next may., be more general and still better than the first. The Result in the County. The people will see by the table on the op posite page that the vote is very small, in consequence of which the whole Know Nothing ticket is elected. The Result in Blair.

A Glorious Victory I • Hark !—what mean these shouts of joy ? Pennsylvania has spoken, in thunder tones, the doom of proscription and prejudice!— Sooner or later, such was to have been her mission—for her great heart can never• ,be permanently corrupted. What ! another and another shout in the distance, vibrating the air even in_our sanctum ! Onr blood chills and glows alternately with suspense. Who can give us relief? Again it comes booming to us through the stillness of the night, on wings of ether ! Has the dear old mother of a "rugged race," marshaled her sons in battle array for truth and justice, and won the victory? Hark again !—surely that was the shout of freemen, who have broken the trammels of their thrall—for no mercena ry voices could have rung so joyous a peal! Aye—here they come, proud in victory, and buoyant in hope ! What say you, brother, has success crowned your efforts? Have you deserved well of your country? Aye— aye—is the noble response. Then let the welkin ring—for man, made in the image of his God, is again free, and the scowling fiend of darkness has been scour ged back-to his dungeon. Victory perches upon our banner, and flaps her brilliant wings over a recently benighted country. Our whole ticket is elected, and fanaticism al ready droops her haggard" head. Glorious Democracy !—thou great conservator of this I Nation —how much do we not owe thee ! Asthe Spartan defended his country from the foot of the invador, with his valiant body and heroic soul, so the Democracy repel the dan gerous prejudices which would blight our en ergies as a Nation, and blast our characters as a people. Dangers have sorely encompas sed us—but it is a noble consolation to feel that through danger safety comes— and through trouble rest. There is a holy love and a holy rage—and between these our hea.rthow alternates. The best virturs of elan never glow so brightly, as when his passions are excited e in a good cause. Activity has brought us success, as must ever be the ease. Sloth may have pre vented many crimes, but it has also smoth ered many- virtues, and the best of us are bet ter when aroused. Passion is to virtue, what ! wine was to .2Escarveus, under its inspire . tem his powers were at their height: Why all this joyous commotion ? It springs from the love of justice in Democrat !ic breasts. Liberty and Equality have asser ted their great prerogative, and the Constitu tion of the land and the consciences of men are safe from further deseecration. done thou faithful and devoted band of patri ots—with courageous hearts you have met the black calamity, and conquered it, even in its secret combination. There is no' enemy I so stout as to be able to storm the fortress of the mind,unless its infirmity turn traitor, and Fear unbar the gates. The valliant stand as a rock, while the billows break around them. The timid are as a skiff unmoved, tossed by every ripple. Firmly have we all stood by the landmarks of our party, - and gloriously have we acheived a victory. In fear and de spondency, the squadrons of oppression, lea gued in their sinister designs, stand paraly zed" by the blows of freeman. Well may you shout with joy, ye who have encounter ed the peril, and a grateful people will re ward you for the sacrifices of the past. Pennsylvania stretches her giant hand to Georgia, and waves it in triumph over North Carolina and Virginia in le.ssing. In tribula tion she has been for a year, while groaning under a despotism as contemptible as it was degrading. Her jest and generous soul could no longer bear the ialliction, and patine . with the wish to be free, she willed and 'ef fected its accomplishment. Sisters of the South—we love this glorious Union with a lively fervor, and no traitorous macinations can draw us from our fealty. Equal we all came into the Union, and equal we must re main. A year ago, a cloud, charged with the blackness of darkness, hung like a pall over us. The sunshine of Truth has dissipa ted that cloud, and Pennsylvania now stands forth in the full blaze of her accustomed splendor. Where now is that fell Demon of Intolerance and proscription, which threat ened to make another Louisville of Philadel phia ? Rebuked in the face of day, and driv. en into his own dark abodes. Every where the true friends of the Constitution and rights of man have succeeded, and the banner of proscription trails in the dust. How shall we r ecount the victory, and how thank the gal lant e i t ,'ors—Constitutional Whigs and Dem ocrats alike. Our whole City and County ticket, consisting of GEORGE MEGEE, for Sheriff—Cnattees W. CARRIGAN, for Regis ter of Wills, and JOHN SHERRY . , for Clerk of the Orphans' Court, has been elected. The County Legislative ticket, consisting of eleven members of Assembly, and otie Senator, have also been elected, and proba bly J all four members of Assembly for the old City proper. NeVer before have we had such a victory within the memory of man.— The corrupt agents in power, elevated by as foul a conspiracy, against the unity of our country, as could possibly exist, stand appal led at the result, and read their future fate in the glorious characters of truth and justice. TheiVorth American too, which strove to consumate the recent foul bargain, should hang its head in shame, and learn this useful lesson, that the people of this State are far too virtuous to be made a commodity of traf fic. The victory has been achieved by those who regard our glorious Union as a thing of too sacred a character to be tampered with by the wild fanatics of the day. The Nation al Whigs aided to rebuke a spirit which would obliterate all the venerated recollections of the past, and all the hopes of the future.— Pennsylvania, whenever she is wanted in trying times, sends her gallant sons to the rescue, and potent tnust ever be her efforts. Another State has been added to the PYRA.- MITI OF VICTORY, and the cry is still they come. Fanaticism and• wrong may have its day ; but in this country its life must be short. and its burial certain. The News by the Canada HALIFAX, Oct. 9.—The Royal mail steam ship Cana/la, Captain Stone, from Liverpool on the 25th ult., arrived here. at 7 20 this evening. The Canada sailed-at 9 o'cloCk for Boston, where she will be due at eight clock;; - on Thursday morning. The Canada reports, Oct. 3, lat. 50 38 N., - long. 26 39 W., passed steamship Africa bound East. Sept. 29; off Point Lynas, pi* sed ships Lucy Thompson and Columbia; bound into Liverpool. • The steamship Hermenn arrived out at Southampton on the 24th September. Progress of the War THE CAMPAIGN IN THE-o:CarmEA„—Active operations have been resumed in the Crimea. The Grand Duke Constantine -arrived at Nicoleaff on the 20th, and it is said that the Czar himself would shortly visit that place to superintend the winter Crimean campaign. The-Russian treasury .has received large sums of money through Berlin. A fearful tempest had occurred at Sebasto pol, with very heavy rains. Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs, under date of the 23d of Sept. that the Allies had landed 20,000 men at Eupatoria, and had 30,000 on the Russian flank. : On the 22d, the Allies attacked the Russian infantry, and the latter retreated to the heights over Rusta. Another despatch from Prince Gortschak off dated the 26th, states that on the previous day 33,000 of the Allies had debouched from Eupatoria, and occupied the neighboring vil lages on the left flank. Prince Gortschak off reported on the 17th that the Allies had attempted nothing up to that date on the North side, but were concen trating their forces between Balak lava and tke Tchernaya, and constantly- recannoitet ing the left wing of the Russians from the Baiclar valley. The loss of the Russians is estimated at 18.000 men. Despatches from Sebastopol of the 16th, announce that the Russians were fortifying themselves in the north part, and were con structing new batteries, and that the French were advancing cavalry and a column of in fantry toward Bakshi-serai by the Baidar road. Sebastopol is to be razed, and the ba sin filled up. Letters from the camp mention that the Allies were actively preparing for a cam paign. The correspondent of the Paris Patrief un der date of Sept. 26, says : Ever since their retreat, the Russians have continued to fire shells at us, and it would be a mistake to suppose that our armies in Se bastopol are:. beyond the range of the enemy's batteries on the northern shore, and on the plateau. The shells from Fort Constantine reach beyond Strelitzka Bay, and they can very easily throw their projectiles into the town. As to the batteries of the other forts, some of the guns in them are so powerful that they can carPy shot right over the town, and do execution-in the advanced siege works; but although the Russian fire does not, cease, it is not very active. The artillery and engineers in Sebastopol are everywhere at work. Fort St. Nicholas, which was left almost intact, has been fortified, and its cannon 'already replies to the enemy. Any attempt of the Russians to return to_the place is wholly out of the question. A letter from Berlin, dated the 23d says : Various circumstances at St. Petersburg seem to indicate that Prince Gortschakoff will soon evacuate the forts to the north of Sebastopol, those forts being only strategic points ; but great preparations are making by the Russians for a winter campaign. From three to four hundred deserters most of them Poles, had arrived at the allie's camp. They stated that the . demoralization of the Russian army was most complete, and that such was the confusion from the first moment of the attack, that the soldiers, ex hausted with fatigee, remained for twenty four hours without provisions. On the 17th of September, the Turkish troops at Constantinople, intended for Asia were sent to Eupatoria. English war material is constantly passing through Prussia (?) for the army. The Cossacks had taken twenty-one pris oners while foraging at Kertch. The Campaign in Asia. Vienna despatches saylhat Kars was great fy strained for provisions, and that the garri son were eating horse flesh. Advices from Trebizond, dated 6th Sept., an nounce that the Russians had abandoned Er zeroum and were at Malegulemia. The Anglo-Turkish contingent would go to Trebizond, and be placed under Omar Pasha. The Baltic Sea DANTZIC, Sept. 23.--The steamer Bull Dog has arrived here with mails from thelieet.— All the high pressure block ships had left for England. The weather here continued un settled. The Paris correspondent of the London Times writes on the 27th, that the Baltic fleet will winter at Kiel. Terrible Ravages of The Cholera.---Ten persons Buried Alive. A. letter from Florence (Wales) gives very terrible accounts of the ravages of the chok era there. No less than 11,000 persons have; it is said, been carried off in the month of Au gust. The :population of the city, which is on an average 100,000, is now reduced to 60,000 by death and flight. The Grand Duke, it must be said to his credit, has set a noble example. Although his family has left, he remains himself, and, clad in -the black veil of the Fraternity of Mercy, he sometimes assists in the burial of the dead. It i s po'sitively affirmed in this letter that ten persons were lately buried alive. The hor rible fact was brought to light in this way: An Italian warehouse keeper in Palazzuolo (a fouborg of Florence) was buried for dead in the Trespiano cemetery, with many other supposed corpses, in a common grave. He awoke to a senseuf consciousness and so thin, was the covering of sandy earth above him that he made his way out to the surface. Still weak, he lived fpr three days on roots in the forest which surrounds the grave yard. At last he recovered strength.sufficient to reach his house, where he startled his family, who were in mourning for him. He assured them he distinctly felt the bodies' of numerous peo ple interred with him moving about. The grave was consequently . . opene, and it was found that many.(ten in number, as I have said,) had, stirred, and several of them had Bitten- their fingers in agony, and otherwise injured themselves. They were all dead when the investigation was made. Theut most excitement on the subject prevailed among the population. [r "Bantam" can't find room to crow this week—he is in good health and will make his appearance in our next issue. . Huntingdon County Ag.
