The hospital has contained during the month just ended an average of 6o inmates. Few ol these are sick most of them are men who have received some disabling wouud or injury during their service.

The most important benefit of the hospital is the temporary refuge tt affords te disabled men when sick or out of employment.

A13 2dpi Che Dailn piemjunc. SECO SECOND DAY. It is geflrcely poeeible that two days so entirely dicgimilar in every respect tta were Tuesday last and yesterday ehuald ever again occur. The one soft, dreamy and spring like, with a sky each as' bends above the favored lnd of Italy while the other was chilly and cheerless, with a miserable, drizzling rain and keen, searching wind from the northward that was anything bat pleasant to those of us who, having remained at home all summer, are UBprepared juat yet for cold weather. Heavy overcoats and thick shoes were brought into requisition.

Closely mulfled up and regardless of the uncomfortable Scotch njiat which was prevailing, we took the cars yesterday morning, and it was not long before the shrill whistle ot the steam plow announce! oar proximity to the grounds of the Mchanics' and Agricultural Fair Association. Alighting near the entrance, we were soon within the inclosure. The view which is presented on enteriug the gate id exceedingly tine, and the aeeOLialion certainly deserves much credit for the taste which has been displayed both in the construction of the various buildings and in the mauner in which everything about the grounds has been arranged. The system of drainage is mo it thorough and ettectu.il, a. i ex emplitied by the tact that, not withstanding the rain which tell during the day.

the walks were perfectly dry before dark, and the tiel is by noon to day will be in good order. The attendance yesterday, though not nnmerous in the morning, was, towards evening, wben the rain ceased, quite large, a great many ladies coming out, who, with their male escorts, wandered delightedly through the various departments, iuepecting the many curious, beautilul and rueful articles on exhibition. Jaeger's Band took position on the stand in the arena and executed several popular airs, which had the effect of majtiug things seem more cheerful. The great Firemen's race, which was to have taken place about noju, was postponed on account of the terribly slippy condition of the tract. The boyg were on hand, however, representing six companies.

No. l'J Steam Engine, No 0 Hand Engine, No. 1 1 Steam Eugine, No. 13 Hand Engine, No. 6 Hand Engine, No.

1 Hand Engine, ready lu start, if the judges should so decide. Each company is to draw a hand engine in the race whenever it comes off. Sunday week is the day fixed with thirty members and on completing the mile, to throw water through fifty feet ot hose. The fortunate company is to re ceive as a prize that really exquisite piece of workmanship offered by A. Tyler, jeweler.

Canal street, a complete, pure silver steam engine, valued at 1800, and which at present occupies a stand in the Octagonal Building, flanked on either side by a bronze statue, one representing Fire and tbe other Water." There were no exhibitions of stock in the areDa as advertised, the day being too inclement. The trial of the i'ur horse plows wan also deferred on this account. We no noticed quite an addition to the entries of stock, poultry, and when ail the stalls shall Le tilled, purpose to devote special atten tion to this deparimeut. The Miscellaneous Itcartmeut, which is under the rupervision of Mr. W.

T. Jiuddecke, contains chiedy home manufactured articles and home products. Near the entrances on the left, is a very tine airplay ol soaps by Mrs. Mclioberte 43 Common street. There is an immense block of solid pare family soap, weiging iiOKJ pounds, on which is the name ot' the tirtn very artistically inlaid with various Colored soaps.

Standing on this block are three stalues made of soap, that re. eoible yellow marble. One ot these is four feet high, a representation of "Diana;" the two otuers represent Night and Morning." They are all dell calely moulded, and are as finely tiuiohed as marble figures. These eutlemcn have other fan ily coaps on exhibition, ail of which they make in their lactones, corner of Liberty and Jackeou streets. Mr.

Dick also ehowed us camples of their palm, pale, and rosin soaps, which they have for cumeimou. Next to this is the very tasteful collectiou of cologues, extracts, pumai am, soap, exhibited by Mr. Auguste Doussan, No. 1011 Chartris sireet. We were agreeably surprised to hud that sach really excellent articles as were upon this stand could be manufactured in New Orleans the essences and perfumes compare favorably with those of Eubius while everything is done up in the neatest packages.

Mr. Doussau, remarked hav ibg the necessary ingredients, there was no reason why we should not rival tne Frencn in lbeB articles. The most etrikiutf feature in bis collection is a large and beauuldiiy pro portioned vase, carved out of solid, pure white toap. in which is a bouquet ot dowers sohj too there are roses, and lilies, tulips, a m.g iiolia, and many other tlowers, looking uve and smelling loo, as natural as possible, for each has itsewn peculiar perfume Near bv is a magnificent display of soap by Mr Keller. 110 Gravier street, the most noticeable feature of which is a spleudid monument.

feet high. Composed of twelve kiu Is of soap, represent ing Italian, Egyptian, American, and the plain white marble. The architectural pr portions of this mouumeut are excee linglv beautiful and true. It attracts universal atteu Hon. Mr.

has. besides, a large qtitntitv ot soap on exhibition, from the finest quality for having purposes to the common sott soap He is very attentive and aives away nnlimiusd cakes of soap to the spectators. Everything in his collection is made by himself of the best materials, at his larga factory, at the corner of St. Andrew and Howard streets and shows what enterprise may accomplish. James Pyle, of New York, comes next in order, and baa a very tine collection of his K.

Cr.ies, oa the idm table, has on exh bition his celebrated Sepfo Kue lamp oil, which affords a clear steauy and is perfectly non explosive. His small lamps are models of neat ies and would prove useful in all households.

Its perfect safety, cleanliness and the fact, too, that it requires no cleaning, render it an extremely desirable article to have in the house. Meters. Hay Mehles have a large collec tion of hides aud skins, surmounted by a hue pair of polished beef horns Messrs. Fells Co. display a nice collec tion of toilet soaps, which are as good as any one could desire, however fastidious he might be.

The Hazard and Dnpont Powder Com panies have each very elegantly arranged specimens of their various powders. We noticed samples of native sugar cane, and feme from Belize. Honduras. The litter was very tall and large, but we were assured the former was tbe better for making sugar. In the centre of this department are samples of tobacco, manufactured and in leaf; sugar, flour, rice, shelled and nnshelled: pickled pork, bales of mors, cotton and cotton yarn bundles ot leather, coils of rope and samples of plow line, clothes line, sash cord, wrapping twine, etc.

Wending our way from theuce once more into the octagonal building, we found that numerous articles had been placed iu position since Tuesday. On Col. Moody's case, we were shown a shirt entered by a laiiy to compete for the bent evidence of skill in The material of ihe shirt is the very finest linen cambric, some idea may be had of the labor bestowed upon it when it is stated that it fork seveu months to complete the garment. At the base of the bosom, on either side, is a perfect lion of a cotton bale, with the new patent tie, all in embroidery. From behind these ehoot op the leaves of the tobacco plant, and the broad, graceful foliage of the banana, with a cotton plant in full bloom, and blades of rice, stalks of corn, full leaved and full eared, most artistically arranged.

Above these, in the centre of a wreath formed of the leaves of native Senthern plants, appears the coat of arms ot tbe State, a tiny Dair of scales, typical of Justice, which is scrolled above. Just over the wreath is embroidsred the following in a semi circular inscription Mechanics' and Au ricultural Fair, The collar, centre plait and cuffs are all orna meuted with a delicate tracery of embroidery, ret. rceentintr full grains of nnshelled nee. In Col. Moody's we uuiiced m.my very tine machine made shirts, which are for competition and in his largest case, which, bv ihe way, was made in Paris, a vast Dim ber of articles made here in his own manufactory, and which occupy one whole side of the case.

On the other is a fine display of all the articles Mr. Moody Imports, such as elegant neck ties, scarf pins and Jouvin gloves, of which latter Mr. M. has for maoy years been one of the largest importers. Tbe neck ties were made especially to order in Macclesfield, England, and each of them have some Southern frnit embroidered upon them in colors.

Hanging conspicuously in the case is the medal which was given to Mr. Moody at tbe Paris Exposition for the finest shirts. E. A. Ty ler, of Canal street, has a most imposing display of silverware and jewels, all ot his own manufacture.

There are three glass caes. the centre being the largest. Surmountiug this are several beautiful statues, two of Parian marble, repre seating night und morning, and four of brouz representing the four seasons. Iu this there is a rpleudid ice cream sel with medallions, a unique silver cigar stand tilled with Hav tn ts, a coup tureen, which is vtry massive aud eld gant, a beautiful ice cream or fruit dish with medallions of Gens. Lee aud Jackson, and also finely liuisbed cups, medallion napkin i etc.

The other cases, and especially the oue tilled with jewelry, upon which Mr. Tyler justly prides himself, we must leave for future description. In A. B. Griswold collection we Loiited geveral articles lhat escaped our notice vtsierday.

There are specimens of silver epi ons and forks in all the different stages; irem the rough ore to the exquisitely liaisfied articles themselves also a silver strawberry bow 1 of solid eilver, aud tea and coffee cups. hicb are chaste and beautiful. Cnartie Cot ting presides at this collection, with tae urbanity for which he is noted. Near by is an elegant arm chair, the covering of which was worked by Mrs. Breaux, and is indeed a finished piece of embroidery.

L'p stairs, we were shown a jvreath of tlowers which de serve aeution. It is done in water colors, by Master Eddie Tyler, a talented boy of but nine summers, and evinces a corract taste and a wcnderlul knowledge of drawing in one so young. Dolbear has in his collection a fine portrait of Stonewall Jackson, executed with a pen by Mr Montgomery. It resembles a Sue steel engraving, and the roses in the four corners of the picture are marvels iu themselves. A large painting, entitled Life on the Metairie," painted by Messrs.

Moise Pier son, was hung up here for the first time yes terday evening. The picture contains no less than forty four portraits ot leading citizens of New Orleans, and attracts much attention The likenesses ot the various gentlemen are vtry striking, and are easily recognized by their acquaintances. Prominent among them we notice Col O. Nixon, of the Crescent (Jen. Westmore, Col.

ex Gov Hubert, Gen. Beauregard, Col. Slocomb, Don can Keiiner, Col. Minor, H. B.

Foley, I. Marks, Gen Duk Taylor, Geo Clark, Hall, Col. Breaux, E. T. Parker, Dr.

Por ter, etc. Immediately north of the central Octagonal Building is the departments devoted to me chanics and the displays of manufactured ar ticle. The first day there were bat few ihoee who designed to exhibit their articles on band bat yesterday a most elegant display was made. Among the most prominent exhibitors was Mr. F.

Mautraeb, of 4 St. Louis streeT, whore steam and sulphurous baths attracted great attention. The revolution which these articles will make in 'hat most necessary ac reei ory to every household will be very great. To see them is to appreciate their utility. The next in order waa the display made by Meters, Slark, S'aaflfer dt of hardware ihese cooMiiled ot almost numberless samples everything relating to the hardware busi ies: carpenters' tools, cutlery, saws, axes, indeed every description of edged tools, to gether with a case of nfies and pistols.

This sp'endid display attracted as it deserved great interest an 1 attention. Next to the space occupied hy Messrs. Slark, Siattffer ic were the cooking stoves exhib ited by Messrs. Rice, Bro Sc Co. do not remember to have seen more elegant speci mens of the charter oak stove than presented ty this enterprieing firm.

Next to these wce the Peerless Cooking Stoves," adapted to the use of coal or wood. They were exhibited by Messrs dm man 4: of 115 Poydras street, and were manufactured by Pratt Went worth. These were most excellent stoves, and cannot be spoken of too highly. Messrs. Levi Navra have on exhibition a large display of hardware, stoves and a new article of tinware, called seamless tinware." These were large egg nogg bowls, and several bath tubs of a most excellent pattern.

Next to these were the display of Messrs. John Savage Sc Sods, consisting of nnmerous ar ticles of new and elegant piece of hardware. Meesrs. Buck Wright had several splendid stoves which attracted much attention. Meesrs.

Slocomb, Baldwin presented perhaps the largest display of any competitor. We have never seen a more elegant exhibi tion of edged tools and treneral hardware. Through the polite attentions of Mr. F. Ames we were enabled to gratify a very natural curiosity in examining these splendid articles, consisting of carpenters' tools, axes, saws.

tine cutlery, and indeed everything relating to hardware. Near tbe northern door of the hall is a laree table devoted to natural curiosities, and pieces ol wood from British Honduras. No words can give an adequate description of these beauti ful specimens. Tbe far tamed stalactites of the Mammoth Cave are rivaled here the beaulies of its sheets and curiously formed recks are excelled by these singular forma tions from the rivulets and caverns of British Honduras. Nor have we ever seen wood eseesing a capacity for finer polish.

If indeed we except that exhibited its specimens i'f Louisiana wood. These were indeed bean tifnl. The yellow pine, the holly, the ash, and the oak are capable of the highest finish, and look not unlike the finest rosewood. So long as Louisiana possesses ench timber as these samples indicate, the introduction of rosewood ami mahogany is folly. No more beautilul Wood than this can ha found in the world.

On the western eide of tbe hall was a eplen d'd display of harness, saddlery, and indeed almost everything that could be manufactured ont of leather. Near the lower end of the hall is the display of harness and saddlery by John C. Davey. These articles are of the most finished workmanship, and present a most beautiful and attractive appearance. Messrs.

Blakely Sc Hogan, of 09 and 101 Canal street, had on exhibition some of the most beautiful ladies' shoes and boots we have ever seen, manufactured of the softest and most elegant kid, tinted and colored with exquisite skill. No wonder the visitors pause in admiration before this splendid case. Tbe tasteful display enhances its attraction, and the elegant workmanship secures the admiration of every one. Nor must we omit to nention in this connection their display of valises, trunks und traveling bags of every description. Near thefe are the articies sent out hy Rob't Pitkin, of 13 and l.r Camp street, cousisfitin of ent and boys' furnishing goods.

All of these articles are of home manufacture, and exhibit an elegant and finished work niansbip. Some of the finest suits we have ever seen are on exhibition by Mr. Pitkin, and display not only the spleudid character of his goods, but his enterprise and public spirit. They were attracting yesterday great attention from all visitors. Among the articles on exhibition immediately west of the hall, is a la'ge number of agricultural instruments.

In this array of farming utensils. Messrs. Hali Sc Spear have some twenty I'ennsy lvania plows. They are adapted peculiarly to agricu tare in the South. In eXHUiining these articles of husbandry, we could not but note the skill and elegance displayed in their workmanship.

L'nder the Bhed, in the rear of thpse, is the large disp'ay of machinery, consisting of engines, sugar mil's, etc. The lateness of the hour prevented our giving these more than a enrsory examination but tbe interest they attract, and the novelty of many of these machines, will cause us to particularize them before the conclusion of the Fair, when beinif in operation, we can epeak of their merits more advisedly. We were especially impressed with one in vention that cannot fail to be brought into general use and which, before closing our account, we must mention. mean Sherwood Cotton Seed Planter. This little mi chine seems to handle the seed on an entirely new principle, carrying it upwards out of the hopper box, thereby preventing all inclina tion to pack or mat together, by means of small sections of shirp hooks attached at proper intervals to chains, running in grooves in a dram ever a pulley.

The hooks load by passiDg in immediate contact with the mass ot seed in the hopper then pass upwards to a revolving brush, playing at the sides of the sections in an opposite direction, and then by knocking back all the surplus seed into the box then pass under another brush which empties the aeed down a funnel into the ttjound with as much exactness as if counted setd by seed. It certa nly appears to us thAt the great desideratum of a sure, even and con tinnoue feed is fully attained in this machine Tbe inventor claims that it will save the labor of seven men and two mules. It opens the furrow, drops the seed, and covers at the same time. It is so adapted that the operator can regulate it to sow from a half bushel to six buehels per acre. It certainly annihilates all the difficulties that have heretofore attended separating and planting cotton seed.

Tbe inventor has certificates from planters to the effect that no such stand of cotton can be produced by any hand labor as by this ma chine. As we write, there is every indication of a bright morrow," and there will, no doubt, be a large attendance at the Fair Grounds. Thousands were prevented from attending yesterday by the rain, and only await a pleasant day to flock thither. We can assure they will be amply repaid for the trou ble for never before has there been so fine or so extensive a display of articles at any Sou'hern Fair. Every one should go, and parents should take their children, that they, too, may see and admire the beautiful and wonderful things there on exhibition.

In the arena to day there will be an exhibition of thoroughbred horses, etc. TELEGRAPHIC. New York Associated Press Dispatches FROM EUROPE. The London Press on the Question of Citizenship. WASHINGTON.
