TUBSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 17th.
M WEEK aT THE Far. ‘
The editor of the TranscripT devoted
the whole of Inst week to seeing the Marysville Fair—not the fair Indies of that happy
City, in especial, though Marysville can right.
fully boast the very fairest of the fair;
Agricultural. Fair—and he bas no hesitation
in admitting that it was one of the happiest
weeks of his life. ‘There are three things—
. 9 yea four—which-piaee Marysville very high
up on the scale of Californian excellence :
the style of her architecture, in which the
solid and the tasteful are so happily mingled,
that the eyés of Utilitarianism and Fancy
are. equally pleased ; the. hearty, but unostentations hospitality’ of her pe»ple; the
quiet and prudent energy with which she
advances in the path of prosperity, never as tonishing the world with the brilliancy of her
triumphs or the gloom of her reverses, always
gaining and néver losing her gains ; and, old
as we are, we must say it—the beauty, good
sense, kind-hearteduess, and mental purity
of her women.
If we were to adopt the fashionable style
of California tourists, who write exceedingly
uninteresting notes for the literary press of
San Francisvo, it would be incumbent upon
us to minutely describe our journey from
Nevada to the City of the Buttes—how we
rode outside with Doty, the driver, who never
uses bad language to his horses, but gives
them significant hints from the end of his
whip lash, thus securing rapidity of locomotion while his mastery of the ribbons is an,
effectual security against capsizes—how Old
Bléck, God bless him ! bound to have a jolly
night with the Pioneers at Sacramento, sat
between Doty and us, and was vastly instructive ‘and vastly funny—how we had an
exquisite dinner at Zabriskhie’s, five miles
east. of Marysville, a hostel at which the
traveler who has once tested its delectations
will wish to test them again—how—but we
are not, a California tourist, and have no}
talent for boring folks with “ pencilings by
the way.”
The great Cortez Square, in the center of
~, Which the Agricultural Pavilion is “' situate,
lying, and being,” is one of the prettiest
sights in Marysville. It has undergone a
delightful transformation since Auld Lang
Syne. From being the recepticle of all.
“hinds‘of unsightly and noisome odds and
ends of the stubles in ita neighborhood, it
has become a little flowery Eden, rich in
ornamental trees and shrubbery, and bedight
with
Lilies and roses J
And sweet blooming posies;” '
which, thanks to the correct taste of the
gardener, are not tortured into the tricks of
art, but are suffered to grow up in beautiful
wildness, as though nature, and not man, had
planted them.
Of the Pavilion what wonders, naand artistic, greeted the eye and temptd thé palate! What displays of mammoth
apples, mastodon peurs, elephantine grapes,
gigantic peaches, colossal pluie, brobdignaggian melons, and atlantean pumpkins!
No spot of this little globe, save California,
ever saw the like. Then the bewitching
needle-work, from the skillful fingers of lovely women! Bebold, is it not all recorded
~—ja-the Marysville papers, the Sacramento
Unwon, and the reports of grave committees? ‘ There were road wagons, but
little less than steamboats; and all sorts
and sizes of mowers and reapers, with
a goodly display of pumps and family flour
mills, all intended to give ease and independence to the farmer, and showing most conclusively, that the inyentive genius of American mechanics is as broad as the Continent
that gives it birth and vitality. It is useless
to speak of the wondrous bulls and cows,
the marvelous horses, the surprising sheep,
and the astonishing hogs, which we saw at
‘the Pair; the industrious and quick-sighted
Marysville editors have them all-embalmed
in the columns of their journals.
The truth is—aa is amply established by
this Marysville Feir—that the animal and
vegetable products of Californian agriculture
ean not be surpassed by any other land or
clime. Governvr Nye, of Nevada Territery,
aid go in a speech. and we believe all he
Our limited space will not admit of our
emplifying this, to us, pleasant topic of the
Marysville Fair, else we might write a page
ortwoof panegyric upon the editors and
Express, wal, and Democrat, though they
sometimes Knock each other over the maz‘ard, all met us.with a frank hospitality
which we shall not forget while our brain
retains the power of remembering. They
are fine fellows, these Marysville editors and
publishers, and we hope soon to see them
again—perbaps dance at the wedding of one
of them—and, in the mean time, may Heaven
have them in ite blessed keeping.
GUBERNATORIAL HumoR —Whatever the
pobticians, for their own wicked purposes,
may say to the conttary, there are not two
better fellows. in America than Governor
Downey, of California, and Governor Nye, of
Nevada Territory. They were both at the
Marysville Fair, where-they both made many
hundreds of warm personal friends, and
caused miny @ susceptible damsel to wish
like Desdemena, ‘that Heaven had made her
such aman!” Nobody surpussed them in
the gusto with which they entered into the
‘delights of the Friday night ball. They never missed » dunce frum the beginning to the
close of the ball, excepting for oue little hour,
shortly after midnight, which was spent with
a few distingisued triends, in « retired réom
of the Pavilion, in comparing and discussing
the relative merits ef French and Ca.ifornia
champagne. “The room h. s an awkward entrance, thé door being neither mere nor less
than ‘a window, with a low butclumsy flight
of steps at either side of it. It is an ugly
passage way; and Governor Downey, whvu
is the pink of gentlemanly ¢ourtesy, intimated his wisb, when it became necessary to
return to the dancing hall, thatGovernor
Nye should take precedence in scaling the
window. Thisthe Magnate of Nevada Territory politely declued, and insisted that
Governor Downey should precede him. Tbe
Magnate of California was blandly obstinate,
and the courteous struggle of etiquette bade
fuir to be protracted indefinitely, when Governor Nye -exclaimed—'‘ Governor Downey,. you're a real Governor, you are.—
you’re a legitimate’ Governor, elected te
high office by a great and generous people,
‘youare. I’m but but an appointed Governor,
Tum ; appointed Governordf Nevada Territory, by the Administration, Tam; and any
lasted fool can get an appointinent!” This
appe.l was irresistible. Governor Downey
bowed silently aid gracefully, and without
more ado went ahead, leisurely followed by
Governor Nye and the others, who stood not
upon th: order of their going, but ‘took
their time to it.

dote was related to a gentleman duricg the
night he spent in a farmhouse in Virginia,
yearsaeo: «7!
‘In December, 17-~, toward the close of
a dreary yar w with ap infant were
discovered half buried in the snow by a little
Virginian, seven years old. The promising
lad was returning from’ school, and hearing
the moans of some one in distress, threw
down his. satchel of books, and repaired to
the spot whence the sound proceeded, with
a.firmness becoming. one of riper years.
Raking the snow from the benumbed body
of the mother, and using means to awaken
her to a sense ot her deplorable condition,the
noble youth ‘succeeded in getting her upon
her feet; the infant, nestling on its mother’s
breast, turned its eyes toward their youthful
preserver, and smiled as it seemed in gratitude for preservation. With a countenance
filled with hope, the gallané youth cheered
the sufferer on, himself arenes within his
tiny arms the infant ‘child, while the mother
feaned for support onthe shoulder of her little conductor. ‘My home is hard by.’ would
he exclaim, as oft as her spirits failed. And
thus for three miles did he cheer her onward
to a happy haven,the mother and child, both
of whom otherwise must have oat had
it not been for the humane feeling and perseverance @f this noble youth.
‘A warm fire and kind.attention soon relieved the sufferer, who ‘it appeared, was in
search of her husband, an emigrant from’New
Hampshire, a recent purchaser of a farin in
the neighborhood of —, near this ~place.—
Diligent inquiry for several days found him,
and in five mouths after the identical house
in which we are now sitting was erected, and
received the happy family. The child grew
up to manhood—entered the army—l st 4
limb at New Orleans, but returned to end ‘his
days, a solace to the declining years of -his
ee ’ :
‘ Where are they now?’ I asked the narrator. {
‘Here!’ exclaimed the ‘son. ‘Iam the
rescued one: there is my mother; and here,
imprinted on my naked arm, is the name of
the noble youth—our preserver ᤀ '
‘T looked and read ‘ Winfield Scott,’ new
Lieutenant-General of the U. 8. Army.’
A BEAUTIFUL Figuke.—How beautiful is
the following, and happy must be the heatt
that can see these beuutits apd undefstand
them : ae
“Why is it that the rainbow and the
rain clouds come and pass~over us with a
beauty that is not of earth, and then pass
away and leave us to muse on their faded
loveliness ? Why is it that the stars that
hold their nightly testival around the midnight throne “re pliced above the reach of
our limi faculties, forever mocking us
with their unappreachable glory? And why
is it that the light forms of human beauty
ate presented to our.view and taken away
from us, yet leaving the thousaid streams of
affection to flow in Alpine torrents upon the
heart? We are born for a bigher destiny
than that of earth. There is a realm where
the ruimbow never fades !—where the stars
will be set before. us like islands slumbering
on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings
that pass before us like meteors will stay in
our presence forever.” *
-Austin E. Suirru—WmM. .M. Gwin.—
The Bulletin's Washington correspondent,
says: “ Austin E. Smith, of California, is
«still in custody at Fort Lafayette, N° Y., in
consequence of his treasonable utterances,
and’ the bei
a commissonia the rebel army. A gentleman who has seén him states that he has entirely dropped his spread-eagle style of conversation, and ia quite ubdued in manner.
The impression prevails, Th know not on
what foundation) that ex-Senator Gwin is to
arrive here soun on his return from Culifornia, and it is said that he also is to be arrested for supposed complicity with the rebels.
Sam Ward, ove of his most intimate friends,
however, ig firm in the faith that he does not
sympathize with the rebellian, but is utterly
oppesed to it. The Government think they
have evidence to the contrary.
for two years past, have made no secret of
their intense hatred of the North, and more
recently of their sympathy wrth the Secessioniats. It is well. known, tov, that his
fumily-were all ready to return to the South
when the troubles at Bultiuuwore cut off the
‘cummunication.
Supportine THE GOVERNMENT.—The
Marysville Express, which sytbpathizes with
the Secessionists,and supported MeConnell
four Goveruor, gives the following expression
of its opinion as to the patriotic duty of Califorpians :
“Tt would be singular indeed if a few thousand volunteers could not be obtained in this
State, after the emphatic indorsement the
war policy of the Administration has just received at the hands of the people. It is not
peed that eighty thousand voters of Cali‘ornia indorse the war pelicy us just_and holy, and believe it must be proseeuted in orer te save the Government, and yet five or
six thousand men can not be found to volunteer their services to. give material and muscular aid‘to the Administration. We trust,
for the
ak the ease. If California is determined to sustain the Administration let het do it
as becomes agreat and gallant State. The
advocates of war should not merely vote to
sustain the war, batshould show their sincerity by enlisting at once.

A Walla Walla correspondent says
