Daily Dispatch : We learn that a firmer named Welch was ran over by tbe train on the West Point road Tnurs- day night and killed. From what we can learn, Welch visited the oity Thursday, made some purchases and was returning to his home in a wagen, aceompanieu by ms little sod. When near R j d Oak, and while crossing the track, an engine struck the wagon and killed him. Hts body was fonnd yesterday morning by a friend, bis li-.lle son lying on the ground near the body, nea ly frozen to death. We corid learn no farther particulate of this sad accident. First, guided by Mr. W. 0.

Next, the writer direoted his footsteps to the “WHITS HOUSE CP THE 03NFEDSBAOY,' as the mansion of President Davis la designated. It is a plain, square wooden building painted a drab color and com pletely embowered in a miniature forest of lovely evergreens.

It was n striking epeotacle, and cnongh to gladden the heart of the philanthro pist in these Cays of scarcity and die- trees at the Sontb. One feature in the matter, too, was peoteliy noteworthy and commendable. All of the contributions were to be dis tributed among the poor of the commnni ty, without regard to sect or denomina tional connections. This is true charity. An excellent disoourse was delivered by a clergyman whose name we failed to learn, after whioh the Rsctor, Rev.

THB EAST ALABAMA FAIR. This exposition is not confined to Ala bama alone, bnt includes the States of Georgia and Florida, and Is well repre sented by eaob. The President, Col. H. Hawkins, and Secretary 0. O. Shorter, assisted by an able exeontive committee, hare spared no pains In their exertions in behalf ot the exhibition, and with the most gratifying success. The display of blooded boraeB and racers is about ene hundred, and we notice many choice spec imens of oattlo, hogs, poultry, and a few cheep and goate. Some of the bast horses in the South are advertised to compete for tho purees offered, so the lovers of the tnrf are happy and exultant. Tne writer is forced to admit that he takes very little pleasure iu these field ex hibits, and none whatever in the ealvs ot pcols which were so aotive laet night, and the gambling whioh ia always tbe concomitant of a horeeraoe. But chacun _ son gouti and he refraines from condemn ing those who differ with him. It the racing could be divested of the betting feature, then as mere trials of speed be tween mettlesome and blooded homes he could enjoy the contest. Tho managers of the fair are endeav oring to plaoe their Association upon a PERMANENT BASIS, by raising ten thousand dollars in shares of one hundred dollars each, to make it a corporate body. Thus far they have succeeded admirably, end it is probable that before tie dose of the week, more than half it not all of the shares will be taken. THE EXHIBITION AT HART’S HALL. The main building of the Aseooiatica having been destroyed by fire several years age, the managers have been forc ed pending tho ereotion of another, to utilize the spacious hall above mentioned. Hero they have congregated and deftly arranged a MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY of the products of the field, garden, or chard, vineyard, machinery shops, home industries and mercantile establishments of this oity and seotlon. These appear at infinitely greater advantage by gts il lumination, than through the doll medi um cf daylight. Indeed the covf d'oril m ist brilliant.

Tne merchants made splendid display! of tbeir wares, and added no little there by to the brilliancy aud effect of tho ex hibition.

Derry, pro fessor of Ancient and Modern Languages in Wesleyan Female College, Maoon. It is published in elegant stylo by J. B. Lippinoott A Co., of Philadelphia, is very handsomely illustrated and makes a vol ume of 400 pages. It is a snccint and compendious narrative of historical facta from the dissovery and settlement of the country to the beginning of the adminis tration of Mr. Hayes. Eich page has marginal questions and each par 1 ,of which there ate four,concludes with a typical re view. That part of the book whioh treats' of the war betwoen ths 8tates embraces about seventy pages, and we think ia an impartialtesord of the events of that un happy crisis in American history. The bcok,to the general reader as a magazine of facts and dates, has great value, and as a school book has undoubted merit.
