' Judging from the'spirit manifested by the gentlemen co- 
'operatihgMMth the Society, I have-not the slightest doubt 
that this fifth exhibition will be equal to, if not supass its 
predecessors.- With ample arrangements for the- accom- 
modation of stock, abundance of water on the grounds, a 
tract of forty-three acres surrounded with, a good tight 
fence, and the very Best -possible vadroad facilitie.s for 
hri.Rging. passengefSj stock:^ and'^.rnacGbing 
gate of the grounds, thereTan be no reason why exhibit-. 
' 6rs should not throng here wirtr their ahifnals,' and a vast 
’crowd attend to participate in the festivities. With biit 
' slight alteration, we may apply the celebrated Berkley 
‘^prophecy to the onward march of this Society ; " 
^ “ the star of empire takes its way, ' :

The//?A shall clothe the drama with the day, 
Time’s noblest offspring is its last.’’ 
1. 'Die Fair is to be held on the grounds of the South-west- 
ern Agricultural and Mechanical Association, which Soci 
ety came forward at the Washington meeting ofihe United 
States Society, and through Secretary Gutherie and Hon 
Humphrey Marshall as delegates, guaranteed S30,000 and 
the free use of their grounds and buildings. The track is 
mainly level, and is supplied with abundant springs 
and cisterns of water, and is situated so as to be accessible 
on all sides. The Louisville and Lexington railroad track 
runs immediately in front of the ground. Passengers are 
lauded on a platform which is some 50 feet wide, running 
to a sufficient length for ITcars. ^Tiie grand entr.incc is 
‘directly connected with this pLitfonn. Stock can thus bi- 
Temoved from thecars and driven across the platform into 
ilhe appropriate entrance. Implements and machinery .-ur 
directly taken to the place, and the usual delay and ex- 
pense of carting between distant points is entirely obvi- 
ated. 
One of the most novel features of this exhibition will be 
showing the stock of horses to the several juries in a n.ag- 
nificent amphitheater, around which are. erected tiers 
, of seats to accomodate 8,000 persons. There is atp^w^r in 
the centre of this in which the judges are placed; When 
the hour appointed for the exhibition of a certain class .of 
stock. arrives, it is announced. by the ringing of a. large 
bell. The animals of the class, ave led ip to^he arena 
through large gates, and their seveml points are examined 
and decided upon, by the judges^ . The_.Yictori( 9 .us,animal 
is at once adorned with ribbons oTyarpus, colors, a.|(vd',thus 
the en tire -.audience, ace made, acq.ua inted -\yith, the- cesujts 
of the examination of the. jury.. The, .g.enibtnenf of the

In sober truth, the American slave-ownef is.qne of the 
few consistent personages left on the earth,, and, should. 
, have a foremost niche in the next Essay on decision, of

principles, acts up to them, and now openly prophecies a 
-Millenium, in which the cotton plant, shall be the tree of

lave seen the light but fpr this exotic production and for
