an. Office, No. 36 Commergial invest; a 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. . comments te There is now torming in this city, says the New York Methodist, a military organization, to-be known asthe Religious Regiment, of which Horace’ Webster, L. L. D. and Dr. Bayard, M. D., beth of the New York Free Academy, are to hold the posi tions respectively of Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel. Dr. Webster is s graduate of West Point, and Dr. Bayard has been a Colonel in the militiaservice. The regiment is to be composed without respect to sect or creed, of men of Christian character,” —— rere Servep ‘em Ricir.—A party of rowdies in Vermont “ charivaried " or “ hurned” a newly married couple. The bride appeared to take it in good part, and, invited them to bountiful supply of cider. The after result may be conceived when we state that she had mixed a liberal quantity of tartar emetic in the cider, _— SECESSION IN Ok&GON.—Oregon is the quirtest of States on the subject of secexsion, but it contains some secessionists, ren‘dering the fict positive that treasonable feelto the extremeatnorth. The Oregon Statesman notices a very lengthy secession article in-another Oregon paper which it says was written by ‘an ambitious. priest for whom the devil has been whetting his bea\ this quarter of a century.” a aie . EF So far as we have seen, the denominational tenets given of the Chaplains of the Army recently raised in defence of the Union it appears that seventeen are Methodist clergimen, fourteen. Orthodex Congregational, nine Episcopal, seven Baptist, seven Uniterian, seven Preebyterian, three Roman Catholie, three Universalist, one Lutheran, .and one of the Dutch Reformed Church: Ture ComMannd-—Gen.

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. ef that he was on his way to take . His family, reputation of the State, that this will . “a A Walla Walla correspondent says that s Cahfornia villam named “Sailor Jack,” recently accosted two men on the highway, asking ohe of them if he had a pistol and requesting permission to look at it.
