Our Syracuse Correspondence, Syraocusg, August 9, 1849, Horrible Tragedy at Battle Creek, (Mich.)—The State Futr and the Hotels—Elopement in High private telegraphic despatch was received inzthis city, announcing a terrible tragedy just committed at Battle Creek, Michigan. It appears that Mr. Ashbel Kellogg, formerly a resident of this city, and for a long time the President of the Bank of Salina, has for many years experienced great trouble in consequence of the dissipated character and bad conduct of his son William, who, on Tuesday last, made a de- mand upon his father for an amount of money; his request being refused, he drew a pistol from his pocket and renewed the request, which apparently made a maniac of Mr. Kellogg, who immediately seized an axe that was near at hand, and, in his feeling of agony, split his son’s head open, with such force that his brains fell upon the § Upee the news being received in this city, Mr. Alvord, the son-in-law of Mr. Kellogg, took the first train and preoseara to the scene of this horri- ble tragedy. 1 have understood that Mr. Kellogg is a man of some considerable wealth, but haa for years experienced great trouble with this son, as well as with some other members of his family, which has almost made him an inmate of the luna- tic asylum, and can be the only cause accounted for that prompted him to commit the awful deed of murder. A rumor was circulated in this city yes- terday, that Mr, Kellogg had made way with his own lite, but this 13 probably not so, as we have had no news to confirm such a report. The executive committee of the “New York pa desk Agricultural voleey lave eg beg? i aged in preparing the regulations, &c., tor the ofitte Fai Fwhicl is to be held in this city on the * 11h, 12th and 13th of September next. The in- structions, regulations, &c., &c., occupy a column of unewspaper. The amount of premiums offered will exceed $6,000. The grounds selected for the exhibition are near the city, and are as good as could be found in Western New York. The annual addrees will be delivered under the Society’s tent, by Professor James I’. W. Johnston, of Durham, England, on the afternoon of the last day of tue Fair, From the distinguished reputation of this Professor, it is expected the address will be de- livered to the satisfaction of the many thousands who will be in attendance. In regard to the accommodations for the vast number that will, doubtless, visit the Fair this year, lam justifiable in saying that the Society ‘have never selected (excepting New York) a place for their-annual exhibition, where there was such ame ple acco: lations as will be found at Syracuse this year. There are located 1n this city three ho- tels, that have no superior in the United States ; the first of which is the well known * Syracase House,” kept by Messrs. Gillett & Knickerbocker, that will alone accommodate, with ease and com- fort, about 700. The next is Rust’s Hotel, kept by the far-famed Philo N. Rust, that will easily ac- commodate as many more; and the next comes the magnificent “Globe Hotel,” under the manaze- ment of the renowned Willam Winton, that has ample room for five or six hundred more. Thus it will be seen that the above three hetels can ac- commodate about 2,000 strangers; and besides these, there are some half-dozen other hotels, second class, and at a less price. Should the pre- vailing epidemic abate, there will certainly be a great rush here next month. _ 5 ‘The people of this enterprising city were some- what taken by surprise, a few days since, in conse- quence of its peng announced that a_“ forty thou- sand” young lady had cones witha French doctor, or “Count.” It appears from the particulars that we have gathered together, that a middling tall and genteel looking person arrived here from Ca- nada¢ a few months since, by the name of “Dz: .” who styles himself ‘a graduate ot a British medical faculty.” Soon after his arrival here, he established an office and practised his profeesion, when, by some means, he became ac- quainted with the brother-ia-law of Miss M., the young lady who eloped. The brother-in-law took ihe dootor to his house and introduced him to his tormly and Miss M., but eyidently with no intea- tion of making a match between the doctor and his sister-in-law; however, Dr. D. being of fine appearance, and sporting a fine moustache, he soon | numerous body of mechanics who had assembled | cordial reception awaits him from the rough fisted | Infirma: munaged to obtain the atiections of Miss M., | which resulted in the couple going to Orville, where they were united in the bouds of matrimo- ny. » After returnimg to this city, they went to house of Mr. Dillage, who felt so enrayed that he would not admit her husband, who felt satisfied to wait on the walk till the return of his b H love, who went for the purpose of taking her clothes, wc.

When the stage which contained Mr. W., end. his ladies and servants, drove up te the hotel in this place, the driver immediately en- | tered, and informed the landlord that Daniel Web- ster, companied by his ladies and sarvants, wished for entertainment, The landlord stepped to the deor, and was utterly coafoanded at behold- ing the dark counte: burnt visnge was even darker than those ef his servants, Mr. Webster, icing his dilemma, said, “* Step round here, sir,” (to side of the eoech ) Phe landlord reluctantly complied, when Mr. Wi informed him that he was Daniel Web ster, modestly asked if he could be entertained. The landlerd, who actually took Mr. W., or « Black Dan,” as he is sometimes called, for a tinguished colored gentleman, promptly told him that his house was nearly full, and that he could not entertain him, but that there were some houses m the suburbs of the town (ten feet shanties) where he, no doubt, could find accommodation for himself and party, At this ——e stage of the proceedings, the landlord retreated into his house, followed by the nee driver, who endea- vored to explain, but was told that he was endea- yoring to ianpess upon him, and that he well knew ined colored peeple.

The cars arrived about a quarter past 7 o’clock, and on the General making his ap- pearance on the platform, quite an earthquake of cheers and shouts asceaded, especially from the from the various workshops. They crowded around him, and he seemed particularly happy in seizing the hands of the roughest among them, tell- ipg thern that he had left Washington on purpose to see the sovere and, as he returned their warm grasp, remarked that he was “determined to feel them also.” Depend upon it, General Taylor will make a deep impression on the working maa, who he seems to regard with ten times the plea: sure that he does the popinjay lawyers who were dancing attendance around him; and before the close of his term, he will possess a popularity among the “bone and sinew”’ that will return him to the Presidential chair, despite all the wire-pull- ingot leading politicians, if he desires a re-election. _Mr. Barnum, of the City Hotel, who had pre- viously tendered the hos; ity of his house to the President, was in attendance with a splendid ba- rouche and four horses, in which the General took his seat, and they soon reached his quarters for the night. In front of the hotel there was an immense assemblage awaiting his arrival, and cheer after cheer ot the most enthusiastic character rent the airas soon as he was distinguished. The hetel was s¢ densely thronged that 1t was with difficulty he could be conducted through to his parlor. He finally appeared at the window, and ina few words returned thanks for the kind reception given him, and expressed the hope that on his return he would have an Opportunity ot taking them all by the hand. : : His rooms last night were besieged by those who considered themselves of sufficient importance to demand, « personal interview, as well as by some of our disappointed office seekers, who are still in hepes of securing something to gnaw at. One of these—a disappointed applicant for the post office, District Attorueyship, &c.,—made self particu- larly officious, and serious apprehensions were en- tertained for the further usetulness of the General's arm, so pertinaciously did he tag at them. ‘Tae morning, at an early hour, the General took a nde through the city; and at the time I write, the vicinity of the railroad depot on North street is crowded to excess by an immense mass of our citizens, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the old hero. At 9o’clock he will leave us, and expects to reach lancaster at 8 o’clock this afteraeon, stop- ing long enough at York, Wrightsville, and Co- oe to make his obeisance to the people. He will stay at Lancaster until noon to-morrow, when he wilftake his departure for Washington. At Lancaster he will have an ace a of viewing two of the finest cotton mills south of Yankee land, in each of which 250 eperatives are employed. The President, when he consented to make this tour, insisted upon it that he should not be accom- panied by any one but his son-in-law, Dr. wood, i not wish to be shown up to the peopie, and re- stained from a free communication with them by any of the customary forms, but resolved to go | among the people, as one of the people, free and untrammelled.

The old gentle- man, however, has already disowned them, and took occasion to assure Mr. Barnum that he had no suite, and desired none. | ‘The cara are now just starting, and, as they pass along North street, shout after shout rends the air from the assemblage on the side walks.
