agricultural association.
rpHE Fif.h Annual Fair of the Southern Cent,
1 ral Agricultural Association, will beheld
during the week embracing Wednesday, the 14th i
day of August next, which ia the day of the fifth
annual meeting at Atlanta Georgia.
The Committee charged with the duty of prescribing
such general rules as they may deem necessary
to a proper management of the approaching
Fair, nave adopted the following
General Regulations. j
1st The Fair Grounds and Buildings will be
opened fur visitors on Monday morning, and continue
open until Friday evening. It is therefore desirable
that all persons hav ng articles for exhibition,
shall be on the ground as ear'y as Friday or '
Saturday, the 9th and 10th August when a Committee
will be there ready to receive them. j
2d. The Association has an ample fund, and will,
in all cases, become responsible for the safe-keeping |
o, articles which may be placed in the hands of its (
c dicers and committees, (the owner taking a check 'i
for the same,) until the close of ihe Fair, which
will be anuouoced beforehand, in ^uiple time to
give them op,-ortunty to recover their goods, and
to prevent thereby the leaving of any goods or
articles unprotected after the adjournment of the
Association.
3d. Mark A. Cooper, Richard Peters, David W.
Lewis, Wm. Ezzard, and James M- Calhoun, are
appointed a committee whose duty it shall he to see
that all articles entering the lair ground* lor exniition,
*ba I have first been enteredin the Secretary 's
book or registry?then labelled w th the owner'sname
and residence?and price, iffiir sale?giving
to the owner a corresponding card?and then classified
and arranged by departments, and in such order
as to facilitate the labors of the several committees
on premium*; and also to employ such police and
doorkeepers and elerks, as shall be necessary for
the protection of the grounds and buildings, and
such clerks as they may need in the arrangement
and labelling of artioles.
4th. There will positively be required, in all
case*, a minute and accurate written statement
illustrating and explaining every article rent for
?*hihitinn?<he statement to be delivered to the
Secretary. For iMuot, Jf a Machine, a statement
of is powers and uses, Coat, time of invention, and
any other fact deemed valuable by the inventor or
maker. If Horticultural or Agricultural Products,
mode of preparation of land and soil, manure and
time of planting, mode of cultivation. If an Animal,
the pedigree or stock, age, mbde of raising, &e. If
Nee<II6-work or Painting, or any work of Art, the
length of time bestowed on it, or the amount of
labor; the age, if by children or very old persons
the value, uses, &c. Since this is the most reliable
mode of collecting, such information as may be
worth publishing in the transactions of the,Society,
visitors, patrons and members, all will take notice,
that a premium will not be awarded to any article,
whatever its merit, unless accompanied by
illustrative and explanatory statements, made out
in legible hand, and in a style fit at once for the
press.
5th. The delegations of thescrveral county Societies
are requested and enjoined to make out, upon
consulation, a report of the present condition of
Agriculture in their several counties, of the im
provements in farming, Ullage, draining and manuring,
which hare been or are in progress of being
adopted The leading products of their countiees
the modes of preparation, time of planting and m?dof
cultivation. The means and measures of preserving
and increasing the fertility of lands. Accurate
Agricultural memoirs from the serveral county
societies would make up an amount of valuable
information to be sent out in the published transactions
of the Society.
6th. It is desirable to make the Fair a Centra)
Southern Agricultural andMmufacturersExchange
We request individuals who hsve a surplus of
choice articles, or who make them for sale ?such
as choice seeds, machines, stock, &c?to carry
them there for sale, and not alone for exhibition for
a premium.
7th. Premiums.?It is impossible to name in a notice
like this ail, the various articles to which premiums
will be granted. However comprehensive
we- might make any enumerated list there would
still be many articles of merit offered which would
not be embraced in it, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of premiums
for particular articles might be construed by
someintoan exclusion of all articles unannounced,
(he Committee requests the people generally to
observe, that it is intended to give the action of
the Association the very widest scope, embracing
every thing that is ingenious or useful in business
or art- All men, wiin wnaiever uicy nave iui oaie
or exhibition, are invited to come. The only
regulation further necessary on this point perhaps
i?, that, on all articles of the highest merit in the
department of Stock, Mechanics, Agricultural Implements,
and valuable improvements or inventions
in any of the departments, a premium of a cup
worth 0 10 will be given ; on the second best articles
a cup worth $ 5 will be given, on the third best
0 2 50; on the fourth an honor. And on all artl
cles of the highest merit in the remaining depart
ments a cup worth 0 5 will be given ,* on the second
best g 2. 50 ; on the third an honor; on the fourth,
2d honor. On miner and miscellaneous articles,
premiums from one to three dollars?these, however,are
general regulations, and in particular case
or cases of peculiar merit the committees will be
permitted, indeed are requested, to vary the rule.
8lh. A ball will be prepared and assigned particularly
to the Ladies for their garden prouucU,
fruits, flowers paintings, needle-work, &c. They
arc cordially invited to attend. Their assistance
in many de( artments of the fair is absolutely necessary
to a proper management. t
9th. The facilities of getting to this central (
point induce us to invite, and to expect the pre- ^
sence and contributions of many of our fellow j
citizens of Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Flo- (
rida. Wc hope they will unite with us in making u
this institution indeed, what it is in name, a Southern (
Central Agricultural Association. j,
10th. The President upon a consultation with r
such members a? he can call to his aid, shall appoint ?
committees and assign to them their respective de- r
pdrtments, and to these committees so appointed v
the committee of reception shall furnish lists of the
articles classed and arranged in their respective
departments. In order to the perfection of this jj
arrangement, the committee appointed to publish
these regulations, will h> re repeat, and enjoin r
upon All to take notice that articles for exhibition
may be received nnd arranged on Friday and Saturday
the 9th and 10th of August, so that when '
the President shall appoint his committees on ?
Monday morning, the committee of reception may ^
have their lists of articles, and the sevpntl com- C
miuecs proceed at once to the examination of arti- f
cles, and thereby have ample time to make their ?
reports to the annual meeting oil Wednesday. V
Thursday will be devoted to sales?Friday to gen- C
era I rc-deliverv of articles. The exhibition con- I
turning the whole time.
11th. Any alterations of, or additions to, the A
foregoing rules, will be published at Atlanta early ft
Monday morning of tbo Fair week. g
12th. The annual oration will be made on
Wednesday, the day of the Anniversary meeting,
immediately preceding the reports of committees, p
by Col. John Billups, of Athens, Georgia. p
13th. The Committee have the prospect of jy
making arrangements with the Macoir, State and jy
Georgia Railroads, to run accommodation cars
early every morning and late in the afternoon, to
Grinin, Marietta, Stone Mountain, and Decatur,
to give visitors the opportunity of the accommo- ^
dations of the good Hotels at those places while in q
attendance upon the Fair.
14th. The citizens of Atlanta have provided ^
comfortable quarters for Committees and Officers. q
and others engaged in the laborious business of p
the (air. ^
loth. The Secretary is directed to publish g
these regulations in the Cm/rivai-oa, and to pro- ^
cure as far as practicable their publication in the ^
weekly papers of this and the adjoining States. ,
By order of the Committee of Arrangements. ,

The publishers have expended a large sum of
money to get original drawings of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the sudjeci, whether published
in England, France, or Germany, the most
essential parts of which being oompriaed in this
Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehensive
as possible. The publishers have endeavored
to use great economy in type, so that each page of
the work contains at least four times the number
of words found in ordinary pages of the same siae.
This has also secured to each plate wo?k>ng-diawnga
of ample siar and clearness, so that a Mechanic
may construct accurately ahy machine described.
The publishers are, in short determined, regardless
of cost, to make the work as complete at possible
; and it is hoped every one desirous to obtain
tlie work will procure it as issued in numbers, and
thus encourage the enterprise.
The work will be issued in semi-monthly numbers,
commencing in January, I860, and will progress
with great regularity.
The whole work will be published in 40 numbers
at 25 cents per number, and completed within
the current year, 1850. A liberal discount will
be made to agents.
Any one remitting the publishers $10 in advance
shall receive the work through the post office free
of expense.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY? THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
rPHE public will be gratified to learn that the
I United States Mail Steamship Company are enabled
to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagrea, they were prevailed
upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets, for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from a desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the prevalence
of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, prevented
their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the Isthmus,
which was increased by the impatience of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
noty able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Francisco,
will be performed with regularity and despatch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Francisco,
consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. Hcdrow.
ITHMUS, Capt. Hitchcock.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Pick.
ANTELOPE, Capt. Acklev.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to unagres, 01 tne
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. Schenck, IT. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. IIartstein, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
oareAillly and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of tne ship in port at Panama,
will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the roost certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

The Horrible Tragidy at Troy.?We
published some days ago, an account of the
suicide of a man named Caldwell, and a female
who hud eloped with' him. Ttiey wore both
found dead, aide by aide, in their room, at a hotel
in that city, having? coolly and deliherateJy, it
ia supposed, put an end to their lives. The following
letter, which we find in the Alhony Register,
gives some of the causes which Jod to this
tragic afli? ir:
William A. Caldwell lias been a personal acquaintance
of the writer for some fifteen years,
interrupted only by an absence of nine months
At Auburn, and a three years' cruise as supercargo,
011 board a merchantman to China, icc.
He arrived at New York, from thatcruiae, in early
summer. Previous to his leaving this Continent,
(some years previous,) he was engaged to
be married to the lady who resigned herself to
the horrid death with which we are all familiar.
There was considerable op[>osition to the match,
which delayed the eoiiHUumtiou of thoir desires.
?While uWnt to China, and other parts of the
world, the lady, now no more, became ucIuainted
with a gentleman by the name of
loapPt and her friends importuned her to accept
his honorable proposals for marriage, to
which at length she reluctantly yielded bcr assent,
and they were married, and have had one child,
which died early in May, and just previous to i
Caldwell's return.
Caldwell had sailed nearly around the world,
and as he neared his native shores, the most
prominent thoughts thnt swelled his bosom, was
the certainty, as he supposed, of again clasping
his Louisa to his heart; but he returned only to
find the object dearer to him than life, the wife
of another. The iron entered his soul; he wandered
about nearly distracted; but his better
reason came to him, and he resolved to shake it
ofT. In the meantime, he fonnd that she desired
to sco him ; she, the wife of another, requested
an interview. But their meeting is not to be
described. The years of absence that had
passed, only had Dound them together more
strongly, if possible, than before; they met as
they should not have done?as lovers.
Caldwell's better reason at first did not allow
\ him to think of the future as she thought, and
it doubtless would have passed by, and left onlv
despair fastened in their hearts ; but they loved,
and madly; and the former associations of
youth came up before them more freshly at the
thought of a final separation. She did not wish
to live without him, and told him that she could
not, and that it waH her determination to remain
with him, notwithstanding she was the wife of
another. Caldwell was too passionate and rnsh
to resist that, and it was talked over that they
should meet again.
He parted with her to visit his friends in
Whitehall, and went on board the evening boat
for Albany. Aftor the boat was under way, and
while he was walking the deck, to his utter astonishment,
she appeared before him. The
thought at once pierded him that she had indeed
abandoned her home, and resolved, regardless
of the tremendous consequences, to share his
fate ; and her words shortly corroborated what
hud passed like lightning through his soul.?
They immediately proceeded to tne state room,
and there they resolved, in the face of nil the
terrible circumstances nround them, to never
part again. They did not part; but arrived in
Albany, and took lodgings at the Delavnn House.
He left her there, and mode his contemplated
visit to Whitehall, and returned in the about ten
days, she in the meantime, receiving her meals
in ncrroom, according to his suggestion, in order
to avoid observation.
lie returned and took rooms with her at the
American Hotel, whore ho wrote the published
letter to the editor of a Whitehall paper. He
retntuned at the American a few days, but thought
it was too public a place, and engaged lodgings
at a private house in Jay street, whoro he remained
about one week ; then took the Eastern
cars and went to Williamstown, and was surprised
and pursued by some one, as he remarked
in Troy, that he had whipped two constables
and escaped, the particulars of which will soon
appear. Ho escaped in a one-horse carriage, aud
J -i H-. CfA /^| 1? T
arrived at uie ov. vrmriw uuu i i m-wiav uiurn*
ing about 4 o'elock. And the sequel is new before
the world. They there resolved to die?
with his own hands ho opened the portals of
eternity. They both passed to the undiscovered
country, from whence no traveller has returned.

Warlike Preparations in Hayti?
Port xv Prikce, July ?, 1860.
The most important event in Lho history of
affairs here, for the hist few moutiis, is the rumored
effort of the English, French, and American
consuls, to prevent the march of the empo|
ror against the Dominicans, and bring about a
treaty between them. Nothing is definitely
known in relation to this matter;Did the consuls
for some time past have been often together, and
rumor has it that they have each, in the name of
their governments, remonstrated with the emperor
against his contemplated mureh against St
Domingo.
As it is only moral force that these consuls
use, it is uncertain how their labors will result
The emperor has seemed madly bent upon subduing
the Dominicans, and the past few months
have oecn one scene of preparation for another
onset. When crmrned, ne was declared emperor
of the entire island; and at that time, and
since, the Dominicans retained possession of
their territory, which is about two-thirds of the
island. None of Soulouquc's predecessors,
since Boyer's reign, have reigned over the Spanish
part. When the Haytiens revolted against
Buyer, and he was compelled to fly from the
island, the Dominicans revolted against the linytiens,
and since that time (1843) have maintained
an independent government. Yet Soulou(]uc
declares himself their emperor; and at an immense
saerifiae of money and life, has been laboring
to reduce them to subjection!
If these consuls 6hall succeed in dissuading
him from his march, and thus restore peace to
this long distracted and most unhappy Island,
they will richlv deserve the plaudits of the civil
lzcd world. I am sure the "civilized world are
ignorant of the manner in which warn are earned
on here, or they would long ago Imve exerted
their influence in sonic way to prevent the
hnrlmroiw scenes enacted and enacting here.
Let me give you some facts in regard to Hayticn
warfare. In the first place the government
procures no provisions for a march, nor does it
make any arrangement to transport the little that
the soldiers may procure for themselves. Again,
they have no Baggage train at all, so that the
soldiers not only have to carry their own arms
and provisions, but also their powder, bullets,
and cannon bolls. But this is by no tpeans tne
worst. They furnish no teams to drag their
heavy artillery. These same men, loaded down
as they are, drag their cannon through the country,
where there are no roads, all over this broken
mountainous island. It seems perfectly incredible
how they can do It, and" yet they drag their
pieces where no beast could go with tbein. If
they were required to drag these pieces from
New York to Albany, along the l?ank of the
Hudson, at a distance of twenty feet from the
edge of the water the entire distanoe, their road I
would be much less difficult than much that
they travel over here, in a half-starved condition.
I have seen a regiment of men dragging their
cannon through the city on the occasion of some
grand military display, and it seemed to tax all I
their strength, though the roads are level and I

comparatively smooth. I have several times
seen a young man who wrm in the emperor's
last march, and helped to drag a cannon over the
entire ronte to Azua, and the river a few miles
beyond, whero they met with their defeat, and
from whence the emperor retreated and returned
to Port-au-Prince. In this march they took two
or three small towns on the Spanish frontier,
I and then marehod upon A/.uo, which they took
utter a three days' tight. In marching thus far,
they suffered incredialy for food, as the little they
could carry in thpir knapsacks was soon exhausted.
Here, however, they took provisions enough
to sstisty their hunger for the time, and also to
furnish something for their march beyond. But
St Domingo was yot s long wsy off, and the
emperor could ill atTord time to rest until that
city was taken, and his reign over the Dominican
thus rendered sure.
The floor they took hero was baked, and one
biscuit given to each soldier; and thus pro
vt*ionetl, they set out upon their march.
To rendi and cross the river Oeoa, the emperor
well knew was a very difficult matter.
The only route to the river was by s narrow
path at the bottom of a high mountain, and imj
mediately upon the edge of the see. The
Dominicans, knowing1 that this was their onlv
route, had stationed two or three of their smait
war-vessels immediately abreast thia passage,
and were able to pour upon them a rail fire.
However, with great loss of life, they succeeded
in reaching * Aux bords de la riviere d'Oeoo."
This, as I nave already hinted, proved to be the
t end of their march. On the bank of the river
| which they occupied was a level plain, but the
opposite side was n high cliff; and the Dominican
forces, with a few pieces posted upon this
eminence, were enabled successfully to resist all
their efforts to cross the river. Here the army
remained for five days broiling in a hot sun,
with not so much as a shrub to shield them
from its intensity, and the great body of them
utterly destitute of food and water. The young
man of whom I have epoken told me that for
Jive days he had not a particle of food or drink.
He kept his mouth damp, aa his comrades did
theirs, by holding a lead bullet in it. Wells
were dug, bat they could not get water. Yet,
while the men were thus suffering, and the
horses upon which the officers rode were dying
from thrist, the river Ocoa rolled immediately
before them; and the Spanish women, In their
ecstacies at their distress, would go down to
the river on their' side and dip up the water and
pour it into the river before them ! Yet every
'man and company of men, who undertook to
reach the water, paid for ids temerity with his
life.
Desperate as affairs were, Soulouquc seemed
determined not to abandon his cherished purpose.
When his under officers came to represent
to him the distress of the troops, and their
consequent insubordination, he reproached them
with want of bravery; and beat them from his
presence with his cane. At length ho was compelled
to desist.
Since that siimal defeat tho einnorer seems
conscious of the groat mist >ko it w'as to undertake
this march without the aid of war-vessels,
to enable him to effect this pass ; consequently,
he has been making great efforts to increase his
navy, which lie has a good dual more thau
doubled within the last few months. These ad.
rittions consist of an Austrian ship of about 600
tons, at the rumored price of $100,600; two
Danish brigs, which, together, ore said to have
cost them $40,000; and a Curscoa schooner,
for $13,000. Besides these, it is said that a
steamer is being built for him in England, and a
vessel of war.
I need hardly say that those vessels have paid
" somebody" a good round profit. It has been
most painful to be upon tbe island for the last
few months, and witness the distress that has
been occasioned by the preparations that have
been making for this long anticipated march!
Merchants, mechanics, school teachers, young
beardless boys, and indeed nearly every possible
class and condition of tho people, have been
seized by soldiers, and scut on the vessels or into
the. arui?. Some of these have been taken away
from their business, which has been left to suffer,
and perhaps they are completely mined. Others
have been taken from large families, who deponded
upon them for their daily bread; others
have been tat'en from school, which have been
thereby broken up. It does not matter here
though a man'a private fortune is ruined, though

sisters suffer the agonies of a thousand deaths,
when sons and brothers are torn away front

be.
Destructive Tornado.?The wind blew hero
with considerable violence on Saturday night,
but some of the adjoining counties were visited
with a most violent tornado, carrying desolation
and destruction in its train. We learn that it
passed through a portion of Norfolk county with
great fury, doing much damage in the destruction
of the growing corn, demolishing houses
and upturning trees. It likewise passed over
Elizabeth City county, prostructing fences, twisting
off the corn and carrying it to an almost incredible
distance. As an evidence of its force,
we were informed, upon good authority, that a
{low was taken from the field and earned to a
istance of 200 yards. Fortnnately it did not
pass throfthe thickly settled part of the county,
or the consequences would have been disastrous
in the extreme. Wo learn that in the coiinty
of York tiie dwelling of Mr. Holaday was blown
down, and his wife and two other females were
killed under the ruins; several present were
also badly wounded and bruised. In Mathews
and Gloucester coanties It wns likewise very
severe and destructive, unroofing many houses
nnd blowing down cbiinnies.
The steamer Osceola on her trip to Norfolk,
put in for safety under the Eastern Shore, wjigjp
she encountered the tornado, it washing over Iter
decks with intense violence sweeping off the
wheel house and doing other damage.
We have not understood to what distance the
storm extended, but no donbt it took a wide
range. The track through which it passed is
about 200 feet?Southern Argun, Norfolk.
Cholera m the Wkst.?The indication* are
by no means strong that the dreaded epidemic
is this season to spread over the West generally,
and invade the rural and village population. At
all the, places where it has appeared, with two
executions, (Columbus and Chicago,) it h:is
nearly expended its force, and in these it is now
abating. We hear of a few casus in the country,
in Fairfield, Butler, nnd Miami counties^ in
Ohio^ bot they are very few, and the disease
does not appear to spread in the neighborhoods
visited. It is now so late in the season, and the
weather is becoming so pleasant, that we thinlc
a reasonable hope may be indulged that the
disease will soon disappear from the Western
country altogether.?Cincinnati Gazette,
