Dear Sm It struck mo at above, that the mode of awarding tho premiums is discouraging to culti vators in this vicmity, who, I think, ought to be th chief contributors, and whom, i'jogo, It is th main object of the Society to encourage. The premiums, I believe, do not profess to be for the growers of tho articles, but it seems to mo they arc tho ones that should be reaohed. As it is tho longest puree carries off the prize, without lot 01 hindrance, the whole country being ransaokod to make up tho exhibit imported fruit even, I see, being admitted for competition.

What ohanoe has the small home cultivator against these odds The exhibition of vegetables was discreditable, being no better than the morning display at any good corner grocery. The premiums, I presume nad to be given to some ono, otherwise the Idea of any (except, perhaps, the first) being earned, was ridiculous. The receiver of tho second ono, to the best of my knowledge, did not raise a single articlo exhibited. How was it that nnr lulnnH Iphe Af t.atlilS. In his Sunday evening's sermon, flv.

Mr. Milbuin dwolt upon tho necessity of labor imposed upon tne human family, and after dp. fining its universality, in one form or another. to all ranks and classes of men, proceeded as I0110WS The heaviest millionaire on 'Change would per jjupimuu wun me poorest aay laborer upon the quays, for he has not only thc toil which remunerates, but overwhelms and crushes. ji10 Hay escaPe from many may Bkulkaud dodge it, pampering lust and indulging in all forms of sell gratification but still at one time or anothor, as a rewarding, recompensing principle, or 6 win maae itseii roit.

And yet it is an unwelcome iaet we do not like it: Wi V1 J' 5 weacoustom ourselves to it we get in the habit of it we arrange our lives bb in grooves and channels, and habit forcos us in some sort into the ways of labor, and we seem to take DU6 naDit will not reconcile us to its spiritual signifloanoe. That we have toiled through the six working days of the week through every year of our toiling existence to the maturity of manhood or even the decline of life, will not bring us its compensation or benign, reward. Labor is a curse it was enjoined upon man as a curse for his irnuBKiuDDiuij. ui iuo inw ana go has it been from mm uuvw mm, a curee ior an or us. The shrivelled hand, the bended back, the furrowed nhnob deformity and pain and poverty, the pittanoe for nuicii luuurer smuggles mo cry ot little children without bread, without clothing, without com t.

41 .1 1 ioi wio Biriuaou cry, me aeepest cry oi earth anguish rising into tho ear of poor, hopeless and helpless parents. These are euraas from which we cannot fly. Through all this community, this plenteous and prosperous community, this successful and thriving community, under the auspices of Republican institutions, all around our streets are houses where no car or oarriage stops, where no woodman's axoor bbw is heard, where the carman never discharges his load; all through this most beautiful of the cities, your lovely home are famibhing and starving men and women and children; some of them would do work if they could get it; Borne are idle and dissipated. And still the law goes on calm and stern, a great crushing principle as it would seem; and society, at first sight, soems a simple series of bunion stocks, or the steps of a tread mill. The world soems a vast mill working upon a shoreless stream of time which carries it forever adrift far from shore, under a sky without a star, and on a stream bluck and rayless, and we go flowing on where who can tell We are placed under, what seem to be remorseless conditions whether wo will or not wo must work.

Wo must start from the soil, and agriculture is the foundalion of Sociotv We must have bread at ihe price of sweat; the ben ding Drow oi me iarmer over ms turrows, dropping the groat drops of his sweat must be tho starting point of civilization. Yet the soil is not friendly in one place stones and rockB, barrenness and sterility; in another miasma and malaria, and gases mixing with the atmosphere which are almoBt certain destruction and death. In the later process and ovolutions of society men join in tho battle of emulation and Btrifu. Here it is a cry between capital and labor, poor man and rich man, honor and roguery, honesty and rascality, magnanimity and villainy; ceaseless Btrife through the six working days of our life. From the humble plodding seamstresses' endless use of tiie needle up to the highest complications of the merchants counting house id the ceaseless round ol labor.

None can escape labor of one sort or anoth er, without incurring the curse more dreadful and terrific than the curso which labor brings. Does not all this seem harsh and stern Had God choson he could have placed us in the bosom of a Paradise, whore thc spontaneous earth would have freely produced all forms of vegetable life necessary lor our sustentation under the auspices of moro friendly wolcome and cheerful conditions than these. "What is the reason of all this 1 Why mnst wo thus toil Why is labor this universal fact, that oithor in its compensating or avenging character it applies to all sorts and conditions ot persons, all grades and classes of society 1 There must be some great and vindicating reason tor it, deeper down than materialism, deeper than the mero invig oration of our physical frame, than the more organi zation and arrangement of society, and the state some reason deeper and bonignor and moro serene in its influence, power and remuneration than the phyBical ucces8ily of man being fod, and animal life being sustained. Some of us soom selfishly to think that it was ordered for most men to do the toil and for us to enjoy tho reward. If man must toil, and sweat, and bow himself to his task and bend himstlf to his employments become weary and jaded and can only find renovation in profound ai healthful slumber; if toil must come with the dawn, and weariness with ihe darkening shadows of niht; must there not be some great reason which will Justify itself to our conscience and affections as weil as our undemanding i reconcile us to our lot and make us feel that it is not an Egyptian bondage of making bricks without straw lurniohod.

Mr. informs us that ho was not a candidate, and had not the slightest ex pectation of receiving the nomination, nor has he yet made up his mind to accept. Under these circumstances, we feel bound to publish the facts, in ustice to Mr. G. whose reasonable request to be set right was made in a very gen tlemanly manner.

The best thing he can do is to withdraw and, indeed, the other candidates on the ticket should avoid sacriflciwr themselves by severing their political connection with the party to which they have hitherto belonged. The Bradley party in the Fourth Assembly dis trict have taken up the Democratic candidate, and by doing so all around, they may avoid extinction. The split was manufactured by the Insane ambition of an individual, who prefers, like Lucifer, to descend with a few of his imps at his tall, to remain where he cannot rule, and on that point the contest will turn.

The western quarter of the city on Wednesday night was the scene of an affray, the result of which was the instant killing of police officer Benjamin Benton, of the Westery District, by a shot from a pistol in the hands of a man named Henry Gambrill, the keeper of a public house on Franklin street near Howard street.

It appears that a dance or some other kind of amusement was going on in a house on Biddle street near Pennsylvania avenue. A number of disorderly characters were among those present, and about half past eleven o'clock officer Burke, of that beat, apprehending a disturbance, gave the usual double rap for assistance, and was joined by his brother officers Benton, (the deceased,) Eigdon and Brown, who seized on two of the party David Houck and John Isenhart at the request of the proprietor of the house, and attempted to take them to the station house. Benton andBigdon had hold of Houck, and while strueeline: with him, Gambrill interfered, and threatening to knock Benton down, stepped back several paces and levelling a revolver within three feet of Benton's head, fired. The ball entered immediately back of the left ear, and passing entirely through the neck, came ont through the right ear, almost in a line with the entrance. Benton released his hold on Houck, and Jell dead, the ball having severed the spinal cord and cut the base of the brain away.

Gambrill escaped, but was afterwards arrested by Captain Lineweaver, and locked up with Houck and Isenhart. Ihe Coroner's investigation concluded about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when the jury rendered the verdict that "the deceased, Benjamin Benton, came to his death from a ball fired from a pistol in the hands of Henry Gambrill," who was immediately committed to jail by Justice Logan for the action of the Grand Jury. David Houck and John Ishenhart were also committed on the charge of disorderly conduct and resisting the officers. Mr. Benton was connected with the Police Department for eight years past, and was retained through the several administrations which intervened on account of his excellent qualities as an officer.

He was abont 45 years of age and leaves a wife and five children. Baltimore Sun, Biography or Padl Mohphy. For the following sketch of the career of the famous American chess player, we are indebted to the kindness of one of his oldest and most intimate friends Paul Morphy is a native of the citvnf New Or leans, and was educated at Spring Hill Cottage near Mobile, Alabama.

At a very early age young Paul had played Bome hundred games with hia uncle, and about half as many with Mr. Eousfaau almost alt the games towards the last being won by their youthful opponent. Whilst still a moro boy he ployed 80 gamoB with Mr. James McConnell' winning an qui one ana on thc 22d and 25th of jaay, xaov, yet ib years ol sge) he occounterarl the celebrated Hungarian, Herr Lowenthal, the result being, in some measure, no doubt, owing to Mr.

It ib not unfair to suppose that the desire to wipe out this defeat had something to do with Herr Lowenthal'a challenging his youthful victor in the match now tendtug. For several years past, Mr. Morphy has only played with amateurs, to whom he gave the rook or knight odds, in which from his brilliant style of play, probably no one living can surpass him. But the meeting of the.

first Congress of American Chess players last year in New York offered a field for the display of his extraordinary powers, nnd his visit to the Empire City was hailed with satiBfaotion by all the leading athletes in the States. Comparatively little is known in Eagland of the strength of American players. At tne time of the Congress, the New York Club contained such men as Mead and Thompson, gentlemen well known at the Cafe de Eagence and who received only small odda from Kinzcritzky and players of equul grade. Liohtenheim, a trifle stronger, had betn president oftheKonigsburgClub Germany, and Charles H. Stanley is no new name to Englishmen.

Kor, if a wire could have beon so laid, would the electric spark have passed one half the distance, suy 1,000 miles, without an auxiliary conductor annexed to the cable, or its bo ing assisted by the inductive influence afforded when parts of the wire lie coiled, one touohing the other actual contact from both which always knew this undertaking had not been accomplished, whatever was professed.

From the London Weekly Dispatch. We must remember that in this great experiment we have tried all the difficulties of submarine surface upon the very greatest soale. Not more thau about 16 per oent was allowed altogether for 'slack that is, for the diflerence between passing over tremendous mountain inequalities, and a perieotly level ground.

If there he, indeed, submarine Alps in any portion of tho track, this average, pretty constantly kept up, must have left very shallow lestoons stretching from summit to summit, and any considerable chaDge ol position made by the suspended weight would cause abrasions quite sufficient to interrupt the continuity of the electrio current, if not mtta.u a toiai severance oi me It appears to us that a much slower and more careful process of paying out may be necessary, one that will not merely avoid jerks at the ship's stern, but subsequent violent struggles for readjustment below. If the line would, of its own vis inertia, ha nfirfAnr.lv still, yet as a suspended rope it is liable to dam ago from any masB coming against it. No cable has yet been laid in any sea the bottom of whioh is so unsounded and uncalculated as that of the Atlan tio. We shall be glad to hear on the occasion of laying the next line of whioh, in any case, there must be many more that SO or 40 per cent of slack has been deliberately allowed to settle and accommodate itself to the formations at the bottom. BANQUET AT KMARNET.

Tuesday the 20th, a grand entertaintment was given by the gentry of the oounty Kerry, in honor of the successful laying of the AtlanticTelegraph cable. Among other distinguished guests the Lord Lieute nant was invited. The dinner was given in the principal apartment of the magnificent Kailway Hotel ereoted at Killar ney, and the company which numbered over 100, was for the most part of a Belect and influential character, a result attributable mainly to the high price of the tickets. Tho apartment was handsomely decorated, and behind the principal seat a stand was tastefully formed of the English and American flags united. The ohair was occupied by the Eight Hon.

H. A. Herbert, M. upon whoso right was seated his Excellency the Lord Lientenant, on bis left being Mr. Gnrney, the chairman of tbe Atlantio Telegraph Company.

The chairmanin proposing the toast of the Queen, said upon an occasion like the nresent. when thev were assembled to do honor to the scientific triumph which had been achieved, he might be permitted to allude to the fact that her gracious Majesty, identifying herself as she had always dene witti everything that concerned the convenienoe or the wants and wishes of her people, had been the first to embody the national feeling, and to make use of the wonderful instrument that has just been completed, by sending across the Atlantic messages ot peace and good will to our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic. The toast of" The Prince Consort, The Prince of "Wales and the rest of the royal family," having been drunk, the chairman said the next toast he had the honor to propose was the health of the nobleman who had that night honored the feast with his presence, together with the sentiment of Prosperity to Ireland." The Lord Lieutenant made an appropriate response, which concluded with the following allusion to the United States Among the many points which must have given every ono satisfaction was the manner in whioh this great success was received in America. (Hear, hear.) Thero appears to have been out ono leeling of rejoicing predominant among them and I cannot bat think 'that thi3 was mainly owing to the commercial enterprise which they share along with us, bat also, I west, more to the feelings of consanguinity, which I am Bure, though occasionally diiturbed by international intertsta, and differences caused by miarepresemaUoni! or ha.Hty acta, must still burn as bright in their breasts aa in r.ura. (Applause.) I trust not oniy with our friends serosa the Atlantic, but with every civilized nation, this great triumph ol science will prove the harbinger of peace and good will and friendship, and that unlike the first line of the stanza, that lands interstate! by a narrow frith abhor each other, they will by mutual intercourse, arrive at the last line ot the and like kindred drops bs mingled into ono.

(Great applause.) AMERICAN ASSOCIATION IN LONDON. An American Association has been opened in London, the objects of which are calculated to have an important bearing on the relations which ought to exist between the peoplo of this country and their transatlantic descendants. It has, howevsr, other objects of interest both to Americans and English, ior Amerioans its rooms furnish a place of rendcz vous and intercourse, and a Bource of useful Information and direction as to things of interest to thorn in England and Europo, elo. For tho English it furnishes like advantages of information as io Amo rica. English friends of America aro invited to call and see if there are not furnished rneana for the increase of their friendship, and the unfriendly, it is suggested, may obtain tho remedy for a fooling that surely Bhould not bo cherished by any in Britain or America who glory in deods of conflict and marty dom witnessed in this land for roligious liberty.

THE MURDBHEES Of THE VIVE SPANISH GIKLS. Two Catolonians who murdered tho five girls in tho neighborhood of Vich have been arrested on tho frontier by the French gendarmes. It appears that the day alter the murder one of them was drinking ono of the little wine shoDs in ihn Vich with one of tho brothers of thc seoond victim. On the young man declining to drink bocauso ho was not thirsty, the assassin said, 'Well, I shall drink, for I have ate a good deal of meat last night, and have not yet digested When thoy wore a rcsted by the gendarmes thoy alleged various excuses tot not oemg provldod with passports, and gave false names: but on being told thev would hnmn. fronted with the brothers of tbe murdered sirls they at ouco confessed their crime one of them, the jealous lover, declaring, with many imprecations, that had ihey beon twenty he would have killed tliom all.

The opposition elements in this Coancy are in the condition of the Atlantic Telegraph "electricians'endeavoring to renew the continuity of the political fusion current through the cable which failed to connect at Syracuse. There is an equal degree of doubt as to which end of the cable has given out and which of the electricians are responsible. The Americans say it was Ihurlow Weed's battery that destroyed the "insulation" and spoiled the machine; while soma say it was Brooks and his party. However that may be a strenuous effort is being made to splice the Kings County portion of the cable. The office holders around the City Hall, the "financial officers," and some of those who expect the fasion nominations, are handling the wires industriously in the hope to perfect the continuity.

This is the second attempt of the same parties last year the fusion cable was laid amid tremendous rejoicings, but when election day arrived it was found that the signals were defective and the instruments had not done their work. Three thousand majority against the fusion pronounced the enterprise a failure on that memorable occasion. But, to drop metaphor, we are called upon as faithful chroniclers, whose duty it is to daguer rotype passing events and present to the public the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure," to report the progress of the effort now being made to fuse the American and Republican parties into one conglomerate whole. Outside of the present office holders and the expectants, there is little feeling in behalf of the movement. Each party thinks there is a chance for electing its own candidates, and seems determined to try the experiment.

The Republican Congressional Convention for this district met some days since and adjourned until the 11th of October, evidently to give time for any fusion arrangements that might be in contemplation to be carried Into effect. Sevtral of the members, however, including Mr. Bergen, of Gowanus, expressed the determination to have none bat a full blooded Kepublican as a candidate for Congress, and the most that could be done would be the admission of an American candidate or two on the tail end of the county ticket. It seems a foregone conclusion that Sir. Stran, ahan is to be the Republican candidate and he will not only be intensely objectionable to the Americans, but his thorough identification with the Republican management of the Metropolitan Police and Quarantine affairs must render him obnoxious to every independent voter.

Mr. Stranahan's nomination will destroy all chances of fusion. The name of General Duryea is also spoken of iu connection with the Congressional nomination. He is sufficiently Republican to satisfy that party, having labored zealously in the last Legislature to establish himself as the Republican leader of the house. The National Americans would no more unite upon him than upon Stranahan.

RichdC.TJnderhill is also a Republican candidate It is almost certain that each party will nomi nate a candidate of its own. This will damage me prospects of a union on the County Ticket, he financial officers," however, are work ing hard towards that end, and ex Mayor Hall, who has came in for a large slice of what. Governor King calls 11 the pudding," is willing to offer himself as a compromise candidate for Register. As we have already said, a majority of the voters of both parties are opposed to a repetition of the corrupt Epoils combination of last year, andsno uld 8nch an arrangement be effected, it SnlZ rePBdiated 86 then i 4 i "uimtms to otir leavire each party to act out ltavlEfa aci ont its pleasure, as the ovpr HW to do ar tK polls.

Such has been the systsm of deception and falsification kept up from first to last, that if a genuine' dispateh came across the cable to day, mo liyiug soul would believe it until it was corroborated by steamer. The Directors seem to have waked up at last to the necessity of putting an end to the stupid and insolent reticence of DeSSanty and the false statements foisted on the public as their dispatch to the operator indicates. The public should know, from day to day, what the prospeoj; is, to 4 and gardens were so badly represented The Man oscio must not go to sieep tor eleven months of the year waking up for a fortnight each Spring and Jail thoy must keep it before the people all the time.
