Prairie County Agricultural Fair.—
On Saturday next the Prairie County Agri

l.fl.u 1 _ ..root Hoc A VP
Henry Jackson, Esq., Imh kindly donated five
acres of ground, by perpetual lease, so long
as used for the purposes of the Society, and
we are pleased to learn that steps have been
taken to enclose the grounds with a substan
tial board fence, building an amphitheatre,
feing wells, and all other necessary build*
The list of premiums will be published
llfxt month. The time of holding the next
hair, we presume, will be designated next
Saturday.
These annual fairs are fraught with untold
blessings to the great agricultural interests of
1’rairie county The citizens ef Des Arc are
peculiarly fortunate in having these Fairs
held in their immediate vicinity. They bring
vcarlyto our town thousands of dollars, which
indirectly finds its way into every branch of
business, swelling its currents and increasing
its magnitude. They do still more. Strang
ers arc attracted from every direction. Des
^rc and the adjacent country are seen, appre
ciated, and spread abroad, causing immigration
and increasing its capital, population and busi
upss. Having secured permanent Fair grounds,
lh,'.V should be enclosed in a substantial man

"Hh a special eye to their future as well as
present use. The people of Des Arc should
'“"tribute liberally in this matter. True, (he

Grounds an ornament to their town. Prairie

I How to Preserve Fence Posts.—
a recent meeting of the Farmer’s
*!iN in Hudson, N. Y., one of the mem*

‘oaked in a solution of blue vitrol—one
•ound of vitrol being used to twenty quarts
11 water. The post was pine, and when
*ken up was as sound as when first put

for all kinds of timber exposed to
Bie weather—spouts, shingles, stakes,

BY TELEGRAPH!
The Republican Chicago Convention.
Chicago. May 17.—The Convention as
sembled at 11 o'clock. There was some diffi
culty in apportioning the number of votes
which the slave States, represented in the
Convention were entitled to. The question
was referred to the Committeeon Credentials,
which subsequently reported in favor of giv
ing Virginia 23 votes, Kentucky 22. Oregon 5,
Maryland 11. and Texas 6. A report was
adopted, cutting down the votes of these
States below the full double electoral vote.
The report of the committee on business
and rules was considered.
The minority rule, requiring only a majori
ty of the votes of the Convention to nomi
nate, was adopted by a vote of 331 against
130. Judge Jessup, from the Committee on
Resolutions, reported a history of the party
for the last four years. This report estab
lishes the necessity of (he permanence of the
Republican party, and that the principles pro
mulgated in the Declaration of Independence
and embodied in the Constitution, are essen
tial to the preservation -of Republican insti
tutions.
Resolutions were passed holding an abhor
rence of all attempts at dissolving the Union,
and in favor of the right of the several States
to control their own domestic institutions.
The lawless invasion by an armed force of any
State or Territory, under whatever pretense,
is denounced as one of the greatest crimes.
Resolved. That the present Administra
tion’s subserviency to exactions of sectional
interests, in forcing the infamous Lecompton
Constitution on the protesting people of Kan
sas, lias exceeded our apprehension; that the
people view with alarm the reckless extrava
gance pervading every Department of the
Federal Government: that a return to econo
my and accountability is indispensable.
Resolved, That the new dogma that the
Constitution of its own force carries slavery
into the Territories is a dangerous political
heresy, revolutionary in its tendency, at vari
ance with the explicit provisions of the Con
stitution, and subversive of the peace and
harmony of the country.
Resolved, That the normal condition of all
Territories is that of freedom, and that it is
our duty by legislation to maintain the con
stitutional provision that no person shall be
deprived of life, liberty or property without
a due process of law.
Resolved, That Kansas should be admitted
under the recent Constitution.
The passage of the Homestead bill is de
manded.
Resolutions were passed opposing any
change in the naturalization laws, in favor of
a line of railway to the Pacific, and a daily
overland mail to the Pacific.
These resolutions were amended by adding
the prelude to the Declaration of Indepen
dence, and then adopted, amidst the wildest
excitement—the immense multitude rising,
and ten thousand voices swelling to a deafen
ing roar, which was re-echoed by the out
siders. Cries of ballot! ballot! were made,
when the Convention adjourned until 11
o’clock to-morrow.
Among the resolutions passed by the Con
vention was one in favor of I he adjustment of
import duties, and to encourage American in
uustry. J Ills resolution was received witn
unbounded enthusiasm by the delegation from
Pennsylvania, and with deafening cheers by
the delegations of outsiders and spectators.
NOMINATION OF LINCOLN ANO HAMLIN.
Chicago, May 18.—The convention met
this morning at 11 o’clock, and proceeded to

aoln.of Illinois, 102 ; Edward Bates, of Mis
souri, 48; Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania,

John C. Fremont, 1; Charles Sumnei, of
Massachusetts, 1. On the third ballot, Abram
Lincoln received 231.} votes, whereupon Mas
sachusetts transferred four votes to his favor, j
nominating him by a majority of 2}. Other
States then changed, increasing Lincoln’s vote
to 352, when the nomination was made unani
mous amid great enthusiasm.
Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, was nominated
For the Vice Presidency, on the second ballot.
Terrific Hurricane at Louisville.
Louisville, May 21.—A terrific hurricane
passed over this city this afternoon. Several
buildings were blown down, and others un
-oofed. One man was killed and three others
wounded. Trees were uprooted, and the dam
age was considerable. The storm was ac
aompanied with thunder, lightning, hail ami.
aiit, and was the severest known in this vi
ainity for many years.
A fleet of sixty pairs of coal-boats went
hrongh the canal yesterday. It is supposed
hat the greater part of the fleet was lost in
he storm.
Louisville, May 22.—Accounts from above
represent that Cincinnati suffered to a greater
’xient than Louisville from the storm of yes
terday. Twenty-eight coal boats, destined
For the South, were sunk between this place
.,.,.1 iVf o,l!aAn I? i rrhfnnn 1 i WPI’P lrtflt:. Thn
jlorm raged with great severity on both sides
Df the river between here and Cincinnati, and
in a northwesterly direction as far as Salem,
Ind. Five or six steamboats have been sunk
or crippled above.

dith, of Augusta T.odge No. 45, A. Y. M.
The following resolutions were adopted and
ordered to be published, by Augusta Lodge.
Whereas, It has pleased an All-wise Pro

loved friend and brother, 51. A. Meredith, and
from this temporal Lodge to that Lodge (as
we hope) where peace and harmony reign
supreme—we, the members of Augusta Lodge
No. 45, deem it suitable and proper, in this
public manner, to express our sincere regret
on account of this sad bereavement. There
fore,
Resolved, That in the death of Bro Mere
dith our Lodge has lost an exemplary- and use
ful member, whose generous nature had won
for him the universal esteem of all who were
acquainted with him, either socially or pro
fessionally.
Resolved, That we, as Masons and friends
of our deceased brother, do tender his family
our sincere condolence in their sad bereave
ment.
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions
be furnished the Des Arc Citizen, Memphis
Enquirer, and the Biblical Recorder, N. C.,
with a request that they pnblish the same.

A Gay Lothario.—The Prairie
Democrat, requests editors generally to
pass round the name of one N. G. Thur
man, a knight of the shears, who recently
made a rnlher hasiy exodus from Browns
ville, Prairie county, shortly alter his
marriage to a young lady near that place.
A few days before he departed he was
charged with having another wife in
Green county, which, of course, he de
nied ; and left on the 7th inst., for the
alleged purpose of procuring evidence to
establish his innocence. But instead of
carrying out his promise be took a bee
line for this city, where he was sojourning
at last accounts. The Democrat says he
is a tailor by trade, a villain by practice,
and an impostor upon unsuspecting fe
