Boston, September ?, 1865. j> ; - M Editor of the Savannah Herald: Tbls is a fussy season of the year in New Eagbnd, The harvest is just abqpt closing, R nd, with the exception of the apple crop, it i? a very good one. Apples have done bad ly. Many orchards refused to blossom, and the ravages of the canker worm, especially in Massachusetts, were such as almost to dis courage farmers from trying to make any thing out of their orchards. Some of them cut down their trees, pnd will devote the land to surer crops. Tills season is the farmer's carnival. He has worked hard dur ing the season—as only New England farmeis work, he has secured his crops with the ex ception of his corn and potatoes, and now lie devotes a time to the numerous agricultural lairs in which' every New England communi ty has an interest. My whole letter might be devoted, perhaps not uhprofitably, to our agricultural fairs, which are more complete their scope than those of any other coun try in the world. In the first place there are the county fairs, which, I think, are of longer standing than any others. Every county in New England has its agricultural society and its annual-exhibition of products which gen erally lasts two or three days. The society ordinarily owns the land aud buildings used for this purpose, the location being central for the convenience of all. Premiums are swarded for all sorts of animals raised on the wrin, for domestic products of the kitchen and dairy, and for farming tools and machi nery. Also for certificates of crops raised, which must be accompanied by a detailed statement of the method of cultivation, and for general excellence in farming, which is decided by a committee of gentlemen who patrol the county in the performance of their duty. The ordinary county exhibition opens with'an exhibition of horses, oxen, cows, bulls, calves, sheep, swine, poultry—the horses be'mg divided into stallions, geldings, brood mares, family horses, matched horses, dtc., and the oxen into single, double and town teams. There are prizes for town teams, for which the people of one town com bine their cattle. This portion of the exhibi tion is usually attended with trotting for the horses, and drawing cn drags or carts for the oxen, the relative importance of which two features vary according to the location. In Maine the drawing of oxen is always the great feature of interest —nothing so attracts and excites the Maine farmer; in Vermont, celebrated for its fine horses as Maine is for its fine cattle, the match for trotting is the “big thing.” I have heard that no Vermont farmer dared to hold up his head in his own town-meeting unless he had a trotting sulky and a half mile track on his farm. In Maine they raise great Durham grade cattle for the fun of the thing, ply them with meal until they are as fat as butter, use them as tender ly as though they were near relatives, and then sell them for beef, to go through the same operation with another fair. Fancy value on 'horses frequently carries a fine’ animal or a span of them up to enormous figures, and it is an actual fact that the fancy value of handsome and well-matched cattle sometimes carries them to double the price they would bring for beef, though they are fit for nothing else. To the trials of speed and strength are also added trials of excellence in plowing, with both horses and oxen, with and without drivers, and of late years, there also trials of mowers, reapers, rakes, planters, &c., the. contributions of agricultural machihery being an important part of the exhibition. The second day is more especially devoted to the iu-doors department. The visitor finds a large hall filled with tools, pumpkins, squash es, beans, 1 peas, apples, pears, peaches, plums, beets, carrots, onions, butter, cheese, bread, flowers, wheat, rye, oats, barley, needle-work, boots and shoes, slippers, cush ions, and every conceivable product of that hive of industry, a New England county. I have only hinted at the articles, instead of enumerating them. The judges hating per formed their duties, and the premium cards affixed conspicuously to the wiuniug articles, the closing exercise is n dinner, generally ac companied by an address, a procession, a brass band, a poflm, and post prandial senti ments and speech®. If the brass band re mains and givos a concert in the evening, or, what is more stylish, a grand ball concludes the exercises, the young people take the thing into their own hands and make the hours hum with delight. It is a curious fact, in connection with our fairs, that where the soil is poorest there the fair is the most elaborate and successful. The county fair of Barnstable county, which is located on the sandy waste of Cope Cod, is the most celebrated agricultural exhibition in Massa chusetts. The Governot-frequently goes-down from Boston, accompanied by the ancient and honorable artillery, or some other, military company, and judges, statesmen, orators, poets, divines, and eminent men of every walk of life—of which Cape Cod has fur nished many—Consider it a great pleasure to attend. Next in order come the town fairs. In towns where there is sufficient agricultural interest to make a more complete and de tailed exhibition of the town’s industry, these are held; but they are entirely volun- Urjr sssocisUojjs, and ance as the county societies do. Some of these are finer even than the county tairs ; as they are more convenient for local exhibitors. The programme does not vary materially from that of the county fair, and it atraost invariably continues two days, and ends in a concert or a ball. The number of towns holding fairs of their own is not large, the idea not having extended much beyond the more populous towns in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Southern Connecticut. After these are the State fairs. These are regular and legitimate. Contributions are received from all parts of the State, and the fair continues a week. The variety of animals and articles on exhibition is generally larger than at the county fairs, aud the excellence of a higher standard. But some counties represent the best of the whole State in almost everything. There are general^trotting matches two or three days in the week. A great many cattle and horses aro exhibited, as well as sheep, swine, etc., and whatever is remarkable, ingenious or excellent in the- manfactures of the State. There are sometimes creditable exhibitions of fine arts to add to the attractions of the ex hibition. During the week, which is always a busy one, there are critical examinations and judgments by d«y,evening discussions on agricultural topics, a dinner address, pro cessions, etc. Besides the State Fairs which are held in all the New England States, annu ally, with only occasional exceptions in Mas sachusetts—where the predominance of other interests rather throws agriculture into the shade—there are other exhibitions, limited as to sections or the things exhibited—such as the Connecticut River Valley Exhibition, the New England Horse Exhibition, etc.,-r --and, to crown nil, the New England Agri cultural Exhibition, which comprises the agricultural interest of the six Eastern State3. This last is a comparafively new thing. The second annual exhibition is now in progress ih Concord, N. H., and though ilia broadest in scope, it is about the earliest, if not the earliest, of the season in point of time. This is a mammoth exhibition. The entries number near two thousand. Os these 322 are of horned cattle, 204 of horses, 181 of sheep, (flocks) 11 of swine, 124 of poultry, 1 Essay, 722 of agricultural implements, &c. The ex hibition of sheep is said to be the largest ever held anywhere. The sink covers a large field where temporary sheds are erected for its accommodation, and near by, on the grounds of the State Agricultural Society, there is a race track, where the horses of. all grades are tried at speed. The Now England Fair, iike the State Fairs, is made up, to a {. r aat extent, by large farmers—somfe of whom are amateur or “fancy” tanners, as they' are called, some of whom send whole lierds of fine cattle, elegant studs of horse and flocks of sheep These large fairs bear about the same relation to the town and county fairs that the colleges bear to the common schools and academies of the country. The Vermont election, which opened the po litical ball in this region, was another ease of ‘the Dutch taking Holland,’only ‘it beats the Dutch,’ the republican majority being larger than last year, with a smaller-aggregate vote. The Maine State election comes off in a few days, but there is no interest manifested on either side. It is pretty well understood that. Gov. Cony will be re-elected, and that no amount of labor would' change the result. We have had a very dry time in this re gion since the first of August, and the coun try had begun to suffer; but the drrtuth was broken by a severe rain yesterday', and to day it is bright and clear, witlrin cool north westerly breeze, which ,is quite a change from the dog-day weather of the last week. The theatres in Boston are all in lull blast, except the Tremont, which is an nufortunate place for anybody, and therefore shunned by wise managers. Morris Bro., Pell & Trow bridge are about building anew theatre on he site of the Apollo Gardens, up town, not for their own use, but for vaudevilles, &c.; and ntfw'it is reported that we are to have still another, in which Edwin Forrest and Wyzeman Marshall are to be interested. — Boston is becoming playful. The publishing office of Ticknor & Fields, which has stood at the very head of the bu siness in this country for many years, have removed to an elegant new building on Tre mont street, facing the Comtnon, and the “Old Corner,” so celebrated as a literary exchange, knows them no more forever. — Messrs. T. & F. have relinquished a part of their business to E. P, Dutton &, Cos., their successors at the old stand, and hereafter wiil attend only to ihe sale of their own publications, at wholesale aud re tail. Their publications are numbered by hundreds, and comprise the best American and reprints of English books. They also publish-the Nortli American Review, the At lantic Monthly and Our Young Folks, which deservedly stand at the head of their several classes in American periodical literature, and all of which are marvels of success. The firm have introduced something in their new building, which is new in this part of the world. In the 4ront of the second floor-r --its windows overlooking the beautiful Com mon—is fitted* up an elegant apartment called the Authors’ Room, which is furnished with the new books and magazines of the day. It will see rare company, and will become a famous resort of talent and genius. The firm of Ticknor and Fields, now consists o Mr. James T. Fields, a gentleman whose lit erary judgment is well known in the country, Mr. J. R. Osgood, who manages the business* of the firm with rave sagacity, and Mr. H. M. Ticknor, a young man of good parts, the son of the late senior partner. Their pub lishing bouse is an honor to Boston and to the country, their imprint being a sufficient guaranty of the value of any work they pub lish. lota. There was a total of no less than 14,262 Eatients still In the various United States ospltals during the last week in August.— The Carolinas, however, remain to be heard from, and are not included in the estimates.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, -FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1865. AUGUSTA. Her Enterprise—'Her Improving Prospects. [From the Augusta Constitutionalist.) THK AUGUSTA SHIP VABD. Yesterday, ere the morning was far ad r vanced, we walked down to the river bank, which has become a very active ship yard. To the public-spirited—the man who delights in the continued advancement of his coun try's Interests, the busy scene that greets the eye, on the banks of the Savannah, is really cheering. When we advert to the past, we see the wheels of business, the whole ma chinery of commerce clogged, and in a ra pidly decaying state, but here all is clear, all restrictions and obstructions removed, and the hammer, the chisel, the saw, the adze and the broad-axe make merry music as they mark the revival of mechanical Arts. Just above tlie railroad bridge is a flat on the stocks, and rapidly approaching com pletion. Winburn & Goetichns are the build ers. Adjoining this is the yard of J. T. Reese & Cos., who have another in process of con struction. Mr. J. M. Curtis, is chief work man, and general Superintendant. Perkins & Littlefield, whose chief director is Mr. Burrows, have recently launched two, have one on the stocks, and another being constructed. Williams & Young are engaged in building still another, and just above them isdhe j'ard of Messrs. Golden & Atkinson, two enter prising gentlemen from Madison. They have a fiat which will sGon be finished. Next is Mr. McDonald’s yard, from whence another boat will soon be thrown into the water. Krenson, of Savannah, hits two on stocks; one ready for launching. Nine have been built at t his yard. Air. O’Niel, also from the “Forest City,” is engaged in the same work. Dorsett, builder and contractor has one on stocks, and another ready for service. T. D. Caswell & Cos., have one in the hands of the workmen, who will soon put it at the disposal of the public. Brady & Smith, Savannah, have as their chief Air. J. B. Stroughton, a gentleman versed in his trade. They are building sec tion boats. Three are generally lashed to gether ; average length and width 36 by 20 feet. , Air. Howard, of New York, has -still another flat building. There are seven other yards, at each of which one or more boats are being built. Tlie fiats are generally about eighty feet .in length by twenty feet ip width. Their ca pacity, with a good river, is four hundred bales of Cotton. The average cost of build ing about twelve hundred dollars. Judging from the numbers.engaged in it, and tlie ac tive interest displayed, the “flat boat busi ness,” must be a paying one. The most interesting feature in this active scone, is the construction of another river steamer, by the Southern Express Cos. It wil be remembered that not many weeks have elapsed since the Express, belonging to that company was launched. Having despatched her to Savannah for completion, they imme diately set about building a second one, which, even now, considering the- difficul ties of obtaining lumber, is pretty well under way. The Company has been exceedingly fortu nate in securing the services of Mr. Woolsey, and Air. William Harvey. Air. Aluliken is contractor, and has thebe gentlemen in his employ. Air, Woolsey, an elderly gentle man, is chief Superintendnnt, for which position he is eminently qualified, Jjy reason of his experience in such work. The steamer now bnilding will be one hun dred and twenty feet in length, with twenty four beam. Her depth of hold will be five feet six inches. When loaded she will draw lightly. Her capacity will be about four or five hundred bales of cotton. The gentle men contemplate having her ready for launching in twenty-five or thirty days The machinery is at the yard, having just arrived from Cincinnati. We earnestly wish success to all these en terprising gontlemea Bid hope that, one and severally, they may realise their brightest dreams, THF. CITY We are exceedingly well pleased at re marking the lively appearance Augusta pre sents at this time. The close of the late bloody struggle left our merchant and busi ness men generally in perfect darkness, if monetary losses ever produce darkness, aud every department ot labor was brought to a sudden stand-still. In a word, we were en veloped in a chaos of uncertainty. All had been invested in the so-calied Confederate securities, so that when the end came, we were moneyless. Communication with our sister cities having been cut off, we were left pH alone in our misery. The circumstances were enough to dampen the ardor of the mos enthusiastic; enough to scatter the hopes of the most hopeful, but, notwithstanding all this, our people aroused themselves to a just appreciation of the duties of thfe hour. It is an accepted truth that fortune seldom fails to crown with success the efforts of the perse vering. The incidents of those eventful days to winch we refer, find beautiful illustration in the successful results we witness to-day. Stores, who3e shelves were then empty, are laden now with the < h >ic :st goo is. Our merchants, in every department of trade, are able to cater to the taste of thti ' most fasti dious .cu-tomers. Numbers of them hare been North, and, by acknowledging and li quidating the debts contracted by them be fore the war, have found creditors, worth their respect. They return, and we witness stores undergoing repair, business house and dwellings, Phoenix like, rising out of the ashes, that, heretofore, have marked the site. The stores are stocked with goods; the streets thronged with men, hurrying to and fro, all speaking silently, yet loudly out city’s praise—all proclaiming ber rapidly increasing prosperity. The streets are in excellent condition, and reflect not a little credit on those having charge of them. We hear of but little sick ness, beyond chills and severs To the colored population, owing to their circumstances and habits, this rcratfrk may not possess so much truth. The authorities have been prevented from repairing the different thoroughfares as thoroughly as they would wish, by reason of tbeir inability* to obtain the requisite ma terial. Which ever way we look, we are encour aged and cheered ; tor from the boundaries pi Dublin to the banks of the Savannah, rises an unceasing bum—telling us that uMKve in the midst of an enterprising and inWßtrious people. The flutter of wheels and the song of the snw on the land, tire responded to by tlic lumbering of heavily laden drays along the streets; caught up by the ring of the hammer aud the sharp clip of the adz, at the ship yard, aud rc-ecbocd by the same fr< m the shores of South Carolina. The rebel General Ewell, who is living quietly at a second-clas3 hotel in Washing ton, last week declined an invitation to din ner. Upon being asked next day why ho was not present, be made the curt reply, “Well, I get enough to eat at my hotel, and then I don't care to feast with those who were too cowardly to fight with mo.” An order was recently issued by Brigadier General Coon, at Nashville, requiring ne groes on the Edgefield side of the river to be arrested and compelled to give an account of themselves, ana those not haviDg a visible meana of support to b« confined until em ployment could be found for them.
