Would that | had a pen capable of pourtraying atithe of the many scenes and events of to-day, the thousand andone scenes and occurrences which are momently occurring ; but not having such, I must draw a picture as well as my limited abilities will permit. From the | canal to the fair ground, Genesee street is one dense black mass of human beings continually on the move and never ending, while outside of the ground, thousands are congregated waiting for an opportunity to get in. On the fair ground, there is a multitude beyond count, who | crowd the different halls and buildings to such an ex- tent, as thata person wishing to get in, will be compelled | to wait at least three quarters of an hour to get his turn, while inside are the different officers of the society ,keep- ing as far as they are able, the mighty throng moving, in order that others may have @ chance to see the beauties and novelties collected there. The Horticultural and Ladies’ Hall not being quite finished, were not opened un- til 10 o’clock this morning, and the moment they were declared ready, were immediately filled by the anxious | multitude. It is almost impossible to form an estimate | approaching correctn the number of people here, but many with whom e conversed, have all agreed in putting the number down at least at 30,000. ‘The ho- tels are crowded to overilowing, and happy is the man ies in a bed with only threo, while many a poor glad to have the_priviley 4 lying on the floor ; ier on Monday night had a small bed and room to , while on Tuesday the same room accommoda- himself ted six. While the show of cattle and horses, sheep, &c., is ex cellent,® there appears butto be only a few farming implements, if we except the plough, of which noble instrument there are at least one uundred on the ground, there are several improved patent horse rakes for raking hay on the ground , well calculated for the object ; like- wise washing machines and winnowing machines,which can be worked without making that disagreeatboaoi: which those of the old kind always make, and wiiteh i very great improvement ; there are likewise several of that most useful instrument the cornstack cutter, which no man who calls himself a farmer is without having, some of them have a cornsheller attached, which can be worked at the same time. In the centre of the place set apart for implements, is the most beautiful covered sleigh I ever saw, from the workshop of James Goold & @o., Albany, and several waggons with improved skeius and axles ; a wheat cutting machine capable of harvest- ing 20 acres per day, to be worked witha pair of horses and two men, an admirable thing for the Western prai- ries, where it is not unusual for one man to sow 500 acres ot wheat in a season ; horse-power threshing machines of various sizes, by different workmen; machines for grinding corn in the cob for cattle feed ; machine for rilling, planting and covering up potatoes, all at the same time : models of improved fences, &c., Kc. In the dairy department are cheese presses and che equal in appearance and very much resembling the lish Gloucester ; a very ingeniously contrived bee hive, from Reynolds Webster, Monroe county, which he calls @ housewarming and dividing hive, and @ sure protection from vermin of all kinds ; cheese and maple sugar. In the poultry department, are Poland hens and chickens, and a lot of bantams, from J. M. Stocking, Utica, game, fowl, Spanish ducks, pigeons of the fan tail, turbot, white crop, brown crop, Antwerp tumbler, brown ruft and carrier breeds; Poland top knots, and Dorking fowl, which are very rare; also, chickens of the black Poland and Java varieties, goese of the African, German and American breeds, and wild turkeys, French pheasants, and Musoovy ducks; in another place, an improved va- rieties of geese from Poland, an ostrich and game hens. In the Mecnanics’ Hall, the visi ing stoves and furnaces in every variety—some splendid articles in that line from Anthony Davy & Co., Troy, and also some summer baking machines, from the same gentlemen. Here is an ingenious machine for weaving braid, which requires only the turning of a crank to weave four strings of braid at atime, made by Mr. Thomas Potter, of No. 59 Broadway, New York, which attracted a great deal of attention, A lot of very chastely patterned stoves for the parlor hall, &c., from Bailey, Wheeler & Co., Utica,and a gigantic cooking stove with an oven six gi feet by two, from J, Dudley, “Bufalo; and some, heat cylinder cards from Hopkins, Sargent & Co. Auburn. There is a great deal of competition in cattle, pigs, &c.; and indeed the specimens on the ground would compare favorably with those of any other country. In the pig and cattle line especially, are animals which cannot be excelled. Of the former, there were two very nice looking specimens of the Suffolk breed, from Wm. Stri- king, Boston, Mass., and a beautiful Berkshire boar from J. M. Sherwood, Auburn, the sight of which, by old Ma- jor Noah, would be sufficient to make him a convert to pork steake. In the’cattle line, there is agreat exhibition of a num- ber of the best improved breeds; there are present, rep reeentatives of the Native, the Durham, Hereford, De- vonshire, Alderney, and of different mixtures of the above; some very looking animals of the Durham and Native breeds,mixed,and a magnificent looking yoke of oxen, the finest I ever saw, belonging to Austin D Neal, New Hartford. Of fat cattle, there were a goodly | 2 vols. number. Altogether, the exhibition of cattle of ali kinds —milch cows, fat cattle, working oxen, bulls and steers, is very creditable, and exhibits the praiseworthy desire there is among the farmers of this State to be possessed of the best of each. In addition to the pigs above mentioned, there were three sow pigs of the Englizh Joe breed, by Peter Smith of Utica; one boar and a sow of the Leicester breed,from Ephraim’Stearns, of Trenton; one sow and eight pigs from John J. Booshart, Mohawk; and the celebrated Berkshire boar“ Oneida Chief,” from L. 7’. Marshall, which resembles a young elepkant more than it does a ind alsoa yoing boar, of the same breed, called ‘oung Snow Bull,” which is only 15 months old, and weighs 400 pounds, by E.R. Nichols, Darien, Genesee county. In the sheep line competition 1s very strong, and a lot exhibited which ta¥e the shine out of all that | have ever seen; the full blooded Merino, Saxony, three-fourth Me- rino, Paular Merino, Grade Merino, Merino and Saxuny, Middle Wooled, Bakewell, Southdown, Long Wooled, and Cotswold varieties are all represented, and I appre- hend that the committee who are to pest Judgement upon the different kinds und qualities will have a difficult task, butan experienced judge of such matters will detect faults, which to one’ not acquainted with sheep would never be discerned. Previous to any of the working cattle being passed upon they sre tried with a cart laden’} with stone, the judges are at this to-day, and to morrow the premiums will be awarded. Of horses there were a good many present, noble ani- mals of various breeds prancing and snorting, and no doubt wondering what the devil all this meant, for they appeared to be stive and impatient. For bymmetry of limb, color and I think it would be a difficult mat- ter to match the specimens in this line which were for exhibition. It would not be possible to notice ahundredth part of the curious and beautiful collection of flowers and plants,and other things, whichwere exhibited in theFloral part of the fair—there ‘were about 200 kinds of apples, grapes, and 29 vari rubber and lemon trees ; ‘pumpkin! quashes; flowers of every kind; corn, turnips and beets; 35 diiferent varieties of wheat, peaches and plums; bouquets, dablias, caraations, and every other garden flower was ere’represented. “In this hall are three temples, one dedicated to Ceres, one to Pomona, and one to Flora~each filled with its appro- priate fruit, flowers and seeds; these were the handi- work of the fair ladies of Utica, and the many encomiums which are passed upon them by visitors we think, be evidence of the way they are appreciate I have been unable to get into the hall devoted to the exhibition of embroidery, and other works of the ladies, but will endeavor to do so to-morrow, ‘The great Ploughing Match will come off ‘to-morrow, and after that the annual address, when the premiums will be awarded and paid. Serr. 18, 1845,—Yesterday’s train of cars, packet boats and stages took off agreat ‘many of those who came as isitors to the fair—and to-day the diminution is comfort- ly perceptible. One can now walk to and from the fair without being obliged to take the middle of the reby risking his life and limbs, as thousands ed todo yesterday. The first thing inorder this morning was the great ploughing match, which took place ina field on the hitesboro’ road, about a mile distant from the fair. About tweaty ploughs were expected to be worked, but only seventeen came up to the scratch, the others declining the match, fe of being defeated—so to preserve their credit they di clined acting. The trial was attended by a numerous concourse of people, who were delighted with the por- formance. Many an old farmer present, who had been all his life opposed to agricultural societies, and held book learning farmers in contempt, had to acknowledge the improvements made in the plough and in the plough- men, by the emulation which these societies havo ex- cited. “The committee on this branch of the field busi- #8 awarded to Frederick Smith the sum of $15; Eb. omstock, $12; Thomas D. Burrell, $10; O. R. Babcock and H. Cary, each avolume of the transactions of the Society. There was next a ploughing match composed of boys, and the youngsters wentinto the business wit the greatest spirit. The result was that C. N, Butler having done the best work, in the opinion of the commit- tee, he was awarded the snug little sum of $10, Th my last commnnication Psaid that the dyanometer was applied to each of the ploughs entered for exhibition and trial.

Mr. Quincy arose and delivered an address, which we will publish at length to-morrow | v Alter the delivery of the address, the President step- ped forward and asked the assembled muititude whether the pledge which the citizens of Utica had given the of- ficers of the Society, that there should not be any rain during the three days of the Fair had been kept? and a tremendo 'y 10,000 strong lungs, was the answer ~and it rained in torrents an hour afterward: ‘The reading of reports of the ‘al committees, and the awarding of premiums, was now in order, and I give a few of the premiums, and the names of the owners of cattle, ke, &e., Which took them.

On my arriving there this morning, | found the President engaged in reading from the papers the address of Cassius M. Clay, which was received with great applause, by the 20 colored and 200 white people, who were in attendance. After the read- ing of the address, the Rev. Edward C. Pritcher was no- minated and elected secretary, with Mr. Mitchell as assistant. ‘There was then sung, by two of i-e brethren, a liberty song, to the chorus of “ The day of deliverance is not far— It draws near, Hurra—Hurr with great applause. A bus: of seven was then appointed, consisting of Judge Foot, Brother Hawley, Brother Tucker, Rey. Mr. Griffith, Mr. Clisby, | and two others; and also a committee on nominations for officers for the ensuing year, of Mr Bailey, Mr. Chap- man of Chenango, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Starks of Moutgom- ery, Mr. Smith of Fulton, and’ Brother Ford of Otsego county, and Mr. Paxton Smith of Brownville. It was then moved and seconded, that the Secretary read the Annual Addres: which the Secretary accordingly proceeded to resi, when Brother Tucker arose and said, that, although he | was turned out of the church to which he belonged, he hoped his brethren would not think any the worse of him on that account, when he had Che to them the circumstances which occasioned it. He commenced by saying, that, a numberof years ago he took up the tem- perance cause, and being desirous of extending it in every possible way, he sulmitted to the church to join him, and if they did not, then to dismiss him; they did Latterly, having taken up the abolition cause, he in like manner requested of them to join him in the cause, but they would not do it, and for not humoring those pro-slavery men be was | cast out of thechurch. 1 will not, said he, Join with men | who make drunkards and steal men. A member then arose and said, that Mr. Tucker's story put him in mind ofone which he read ashort time sin ol aman who was born blind, but he had bis eyes open, and they cast hin out ‘Tho report was then read, and isin substance as follows. Itcommenced by saying that the greatest share of the work had been taken from the prin- cipal society by the local societies, and that the greutest work the main society has now to lo is to generate a free spirit on abolition; there must be purpose before efficiency. The abolitionists ure obtaining importance in this State, and ere long their efforts will be crowned with success. (A motion was made that the reading bo suspended for a minute to hear one of the members, who had engaged the Washington Garden for this day and to- morrow for the small sum of $3, a dead bargain. The meeiiar was heani.ond a committee appointed to guaran- tee the payment.} ‘The abolitionists were under a solemn obligation to exert their political influence in fi abolition of slavery, now thatthe influence was be- coming so apparent and important. We must not re ject the co-operation of any man, be he Atheist, De- ast, Baptist, Methodist, scholors, ignorant men, drunk- ards, 1ich'men, poor’ men, office-seekers. ‘Their po- litical influence is all equal. has heen objected ‘al influence; It by a great many, that we should use polit that we should endeavor to secure our objects by moral suasion ulone; are we to wait for emancipation until the hearts of the masters become softened? suall we not, if we can’t soiten the heart,break the arm of the oppressor! and as force is required,there is a stick for the horse,a bri- die for the ass, and a whip forthe fooi’s back; must we defer ewaucipition until the masters are ready. ‘To all those who are lukewarm on the subject, we would re- comment the reading of the books on slavery, by Mr. Burrill andthe Rey. Lysander Spooner, and they will find them suflicient to convince them ; it then related how Judge Harrington of Vermont treated a South- ernor, who was hunting after a runaway slave in that State, and how he demanded of the master the bill of sale from God Almighty, who is the owner of all men. The abolitionists, in spite of all the flattery and concessions from the political paities of the day, had retained their distinct organization, that they did not vote for Henry Clay, and never would vote for him or any other candidate of the whig party, for it is so diluted with concession and compromise that they cannot trust them. We have great satisfaction in the success of the Liberty party—the last election we polled upwards of 62,000 votes for our candidate, Birney, the Jnst—end among all the false issues;which were inad the party nobly stood theit ground; it is acknowledge: on all hands that we cannot keep slavery out of politics. Texas is not annexed yet, but the whigs are as servile as ever, but if it be annexed things may assume another shape, the ways of the Lord are mysterious.— The report then lauded Cassius M. Clay to the seventh heaven for the course he. had pursed, but at the same time said that his notions were crude, and that he was like a good ship, heading for liberty with her sails set and in good trim; the vessel is seaworthy. In eccle- siastical affairs, anti-slavery is making progress, if we ma: paise from the distant mutterings among the Baptists and Methodists, but they are entitled to no credit for it, they are impelled like an individual with a kick behind. (Great applause.) It concluded by saying that the ca is onward, and God's benevolence will ensure it succes: Mr. Citston then rose and mo: that the report be amended where it speaks of the and Methodists being impelled by a kick behind like an individual,as he considered it very undignified language,and that insteaa of saying they were acted upon by a kick in the rear, they might say from different causes. Miss Dritan Weasten, the young lady who was tried and sentenced to State Prison for Paria slaves, was then introduced to the meeting, and Mr, Day her atten- dant stated,that Miss Webster's book on slavery was for sale ; that in consequence of her imprisonment she had been put to great expense; one person alone, a lawyer, ae, her note for $500. The President then asked if the note was given toa southern lawyer, and if it were, that he for one would not give a dollar to a southern tiger. The meeting then adjourned to meet again this evening. Sketeemner 13, The Abolitionists met again last evening at Grace Church, to hear the Rev. Mr. Constantine di the subject of the Colonization scheme in Li He said that it was wrong to send the poor Africans in these States to that abominable place, that the average dura: tion of life of those who go there from the United States is only two years—the « for a distance of 7 miles, back fo the hill mp which gene! fevers of all kinds, and that the captains of vessels tra- ding there, never go on shore in the morning or evening, for fear of catching the coast fever, as it is called, and only venture in the middle ‘of the day out of their ships. He represented the former Governor of Liberia, Mr. Buchanan, as a man who was very much disliked, by both natives and colonists; and Mr. Brown, who, he says, in now in this State, and who had been sent asa missionary there by the American Board of Foreign Missions, ‘as aman who would preach to the natives, with the Bible in one hand, and the sword other. ‘That on account of the ti bore towards him, they attacked his station, and that this son of the cross shot down fifty of the natives with his own hand; that on an occasion when the natives finding him alone, a short distance from the station, they were determined to have revenge, but that Mr. Brown terri- fied them by saying, that when he shot down fifty of the natives himself, that it was the work’ of his God, and that they molested him then he’ would call upon his God — again, and that he would not spare one of them—this so terrified them that they let him pass. Mr. Constantine said that the present Governor of Liberia is the son of a Vesmihi at the South, who had eight children by one of iis slaves, and he shipped them sll to Liberia, He repre- sented the situation of the colony as being in anything Wut a favorable state, and that the greatest hostility ex- ists between the colonists’and the natives. He has se himself, slaves takea away by vessels which had th flying, and manned by an American cap- an seamen, and that it was done with the ledge of the Colonists. He concluded by saying ‘med, inde pendent of the American Board, and he would be happy to receive the funds of such as felt an interest in the slave. Mr. Scorixip got up’and said that he was a friend of the slave, and of the colonization plan; be denied that any American vessels were engaged in’the slave trade, but that to avoid committing piracy, which the laws of the United States pronounce slavery to be, citizens of this country will send a ¥ one American, and one §; ing, the vessel would be ti red, and sold to a Span- ish’ Captain, and a Spanish crow, and that they would thus evade the laws ofthis country. The meeting then adjourned to meet at Washington Garden this day, where | attended some two hours, but finding that they could not raise an audience of fifty, exclusive of the 'y, the proceedings were very dry, and uninteresting. The President, Mr. Stewart, New yi that they would in awlience by and by; but that time did not come at all, and | left them to pay a visit to the Fuir of the State Society of Agriculture, which is more interesting than listening to the inflammatory harangues of these fa- natics. and that on their arriv- Ye..ow Fever in New Orveans.—The hopes of our citizens that we should, this summer, escape ly realized. {na card in the Courier of last evening, the Board of Health an- | nounce three cases, one of which has terminated fatally. or Report of the Society, | ‘or of the | ol to Africa with two crews, | Antl-Rent Tria! {From the Albany Argus, Sept. 19.)

D Sept. 16.--The Grand Jury eame into Court and presented indictments against 27 individuals —11 for being disguised and armed, and contriving to resist the execution of legal process. All but 4 of these had been presented in former indictments at this term of the Court. ‘Two only are in custody, John Whitson, Jr., and Wm.

Artiricia, Mounps in GeorGta.— On the northern bank of the E plantation of Col. Tumlin, which contains artificial curi- osities and remains, of which there is no authentic history or even tradition. These consist of three artificial mounds, a ditch, two excavated bas human bones, broken jars, &c. &c. we heard excited our ‘curiosity, and we spent a day in examining the place. The two small mounds are situa- ted about one hundred yards from the river ina line pa- rallel to it, and form the base of a triangle with the largest mound, trom.which they are separated by a space of about thirty yards. ‘The circuit of the large.t mound is about 1600 feet, and its height about 90 feet. The circuit of the other two is about 600 feet cach, and the height about 30 feet. A ditch about 40 fect wide, from 20 to 30 feet deep, and between two and three thousand . feet in length, formerly communicated with the river above and below the mounds, enclosing several acres upon which they are situated, with the waters of the river on every side. The two ends ot the ditch where they communicate with the river, have been fil- led up for a distance of two or three hundred feet, as though it had been done ke 4 a besieging force. With these exceptions, and a small space where the road cros- ses, the ditch is now an average of from 15 to 20 feet deep, in which large trees, grape vines and bushes are growing, and which we found it difficalt to cross. Com- inunicating wath this ditch un the ontside, are two exca vations which covera space of about two acre! from 20 to 30 feet deep, evidently the places earth was obcained to form the mounds. The group en- closed by the ditch was strewn with fragments of earth en jars and human bones, which have been exhumed b; the plow. Col. Tumlia has several curious arti: which have been found about these mounds, among which are--a stone'image representing a person in a de- votional or supplicating attitude—a very large stone pipe, representing a human figure in a sitting posture, holding a vas h forms the bowl of the pipe—ston. weights, from two ounces to two lbs., ke. ke. We sunk a pit about three feet deep in the top of the largest mound, and found the earth mixed with pieces of decom- posing charcoal and burnt clay, As we stood upon this summit and contemplated the works and remains b which we were surroundec, the question naturally arose in our imind—who made these excavations, and constructed these immense mounds of earth? What was their object, and where now is the race who made large deposites of he Tumora which them? If we ask the race of Indians who are now dis- | appearing in the West, they answer with a silent shake of the head, or if they speak, it isto tell us that their fa- thers knew nothing of their origin. If wi history, it is\ silent—ond asa last resort we nee to fancy: ’ Immediately the plain swarms with life, the ditch 1s thronged with warriors who defend it with the desperation of a last hope for the race—women and chil- dren pass to and trom the river, carrying jars of water to their famishing defenders. ‘The plain beyond the ditch who are bent upon the extermination of this remnant of an ancient , but now fallen race, Beside us stand the false gods, to whom they ure offering sacrifices. But councils, prayers, and tho smoke of sacrifices are una- vailing—famine adds its horrors to that of war, and after days and nights of toil and sutfering, the invading forces have filled in and crossed the ditch at either end, and now, by an indiscriminate slaughter, they extinguish this last remnant of the race. Centuries pass away— immense forest trees cover the ditch and the mounds; the bones of the slaughtered, and even the fire coals upon the altars are crumbling into dust, and they are torgotten.—.dibany (Ga.) Patriot, 10th inst. | Meancno.ty.—On Wednesday last, about noon, the oldest child ot Mr. Isuac Roberts, residing at Longhill, a promising lad, a tew days over five years old, | was found dead in one of his Lots about 200 yards from his | dwelling house. The particulars, as we learn them, are, | that his little sister, about five years old, came into the | house and told Mrs. Roberts that her brother was bloody |orbeeding. Mrs.R. immediately ran out, and as her | little daughter ‘Was too young to tell exactly where he was, she called his name, but obtained no answer. After | a short search, she found him lying on the ground in the lot where the horse was, and again calling him by name received no answer, She took him in ber arms, ran to the house, and from thence to the barn, where a hired man was at work, and sent him for a doctor then carried | the child back to the house and commenced bathing his In about half or three quarters of an hour, Dr. ward arrived, who found that the boy was dead, and on examination discovered an extensive fracture of the skuilon the side of his head, back of the right ear, | two inches in length, and a portion of the bone forced into the bi his wound was such as wight be, and probably was caused by the cork on @ horse's shoe. From blood being found on t horse’ et, more paiti- cularly on his right fore foot and leg, it is supposed he ust liave struck him with his fore toot. The horse is a very gentle one, and the little boy and his sister were in the hubit of feeding him with apples. There was an ap! ple tree where the boy was found, which the horse was in the habit of picking appies from, by standing on h hind legs. It is supposed that the little fellow went to him while the horse was thus engaged, and speaking to him, the horse suddenly put his fore feet to the grouad, and ‘not seeing the boy, struck him on the head, causing death in a short tim jdletown Constitution.

The Jury, after a brief absence, rendered a verdict of not guilty." ‘The accused were accordingly discharged Counsel for the de: , Thos. Warner, Esq. Case of Madame Costello.—In reference to this case, the court stated that they had examined the papers, ke , hande:! last evening by counsel for defence, who had re- newed his application to have the amount of bail reduced from $6000, the sum fixed by the Mayor, but that, on taking into consideration the nature of the offence and the circumstances attending it, they had decided against a reduction of the bail. The Recorderthen took occasion to refer to the r marks which had appeared in one of the daily papers rela- tive to Madame Costello being privately a to bail atalate hour, after having refused grant her dis- charge on bail. In alluding to the statements! the Re- corder stated that he had been apparently misunderstood in this matter—that he had never refused to admit her to bail—but that he had refused to reduce the amount of bail, and that on John Florence, jr. becoming her surety. she was at once admitted to bail in open court—his as- sociates being on the bench at the time, and that inevery | instance the proceedings of the court were open to the press.

Imporranr Geotoaicar, Discovery.—It is well known to those who are conversant with the mines of brown iron ore, which abound along the base of t ie Green Mountains, from Monkton to Bennington, that the immense quantity of ore produced, has consisted ef de- | tached fragments, and that no sequiae, solid bed of ore interstratified Ww the rock has been heretofore found. We learn that the State Geologist, on a recent visit to Mitchell’s ore in Chittenden, in company with Preside..t Hitchcock, of Massachusetts, in examining the anfts which have been carried in various directions irom the shat, found ore of these terminating in an immense mass of solid ore,which is blasted out by the miners. An examination of the mass resulted in the discovery of the tact that it was reposing on that variety of limestone rock which in many places has been found to accompany the ore, in an inclined plane parallel to the layers of the rock, While the loose materials avove ochre: ure also in parallel beds, having resulted trom the decay | of the archy layers over the irun ore. ar conclusion seeins to be that this bed of ore, several yard thick, is coextensive with the solid rock, and it is proba- ble that it will never be exhausted. The owners willot course find it advisable to abandon the expensive ex, rations in other directions, and concentrate their efforts in this field, We uuderstand that the origin and position ‘out. of the manganese were also satistactorily trace | Brandon (Vt) Press. | A Stvevtar Cuitp.—I[n the town of Ulyes, near [thaca, there 18 a child five years old whose iett arm is about one quarter shorter than it should be. ‘There is no elbow nor wnst joint, aud but two fingers.
