Thl Rising Generation in Arms.--Intense Err a ... ment — Beautiful Babies and Proud Mothers r Jt wards of the Premiums. || We find in The Cincinnati Times of Friday I Sett the following account of one of the most re- J markable Fairs of this go-ahead country, held at 1. Spiiogfield, Clark Co., Ohio, on Thursday of last week. It is a refreshing change from the dry co naans of political resolves and convention The Arrival of the Babies. —Decidedly the greatest feature of this Fair was the National Baby Convention, which took place yesterday. It attracted people, adults and babies, from ail parts of the Union. No less than 13,000 or 30,000 visited the Fair to day, (excluding babies) all of whom appeared to be excited as to the display of innocence and infantile beauty. The novelty of the exhibition was of itself sufficient to cieate a general interest, but to this was added three services of silver plate as prizes. The managers of the‘‘show” appeared to be taken aback at the interest taken in the affair. They had supposed that even their liberal premiums would not tempt more than a dozen babies or so, and had made arrangements accordingly. 10 o’clock yes terday morning convinced them that they had underrated ‘‘the importance of the occasion.” Devoted mothers and doating fathers, with their HMu little pets in their arms, came pouring into the Fair grounds, each, no doubt, confident of leaving hE I *" W1 ” one . P rize s- A small canvass tent j s Hk fa® ' been assigned as the receptacle of the entries, and into that mothers, babies and nuises were ushered by gentlemen wearing rosettes upon V their breasts. Soon there was ‘"music within.” jPBI America's Voire is Heard. —Astonished. ■H probably, at finding themselves in “mass meet ing . assembled,” the little ones sent up a cry, BdjSw'uich shook the canvass-top and pierced the Mrs of the people. In vain did the brass-band /toot their instruments to drown if possible “the gj>iercing cry.” Young America was aroused, tend scorning to be beat, sent lorth notes which yißHfemed the keys of the bugle and made the from- Jmllmf blush for its weakness. ‘ The “babies! the m? bjpsl’" was on the lips of every one. Ploughs, ; HTembroidery, reaping machines, fancy goods, me- Bjj^Wi ca l skill and agricultural success, were all in a moment. Blood horses and shoit ■■■Hiß-caftle were no whar! The people —men, and children, ladies,gentlemen, and grow- made a rush for the “Baby Tent.” Being barred admission, however, they weie obliged for the present to content themselves by listening to the music. Some more anxious than the rest—gentlemen, we mean—climbed the adjoining trees, and enjoyed free gratis for noth jy(H| * n £i a B *°len peep at the Baby Convention, wh eh, from their expressions we judged was ■ bigbii gratifying. cene tn the Tent —The tent presented a I novel, amusing and interesting sight. The moth- | ers»ad nurses were seated and had tne "‘little j darlings” a!! ready for inspection, that is as near P”' Pit ready as could be. To see so many babies to* "85 novel; to note the maternal efforts to them in the best mood, was amusing, pHHPd to gaze upon their innocent laces and purest ©fchaims was certainly interesting. There sata mother, her ejes directed alter nately on the judges and on which lay in her lap. By her sat another, holding up proudly a lovely little girl, whose flaxen curia and sweet blue eyes would soften the heart of toe greatest baby-hater in Christendom. Next -m to her a nurse was endeavering to quiet a stout, black eyed rojy-cbeeked “one year old,” who insists on pulling the jet black ringlets ot another one about i f s own age. One lady pointed with j pride tot.Ue chubby legs other darling boy, while another glowingly refers to the delicate but well 1 formed features of her sweet babe, One boa-ted j of having the largest of its age; another of the j oß’WiSoccasi*<}“ and, in spite ot the most earnest entreaties, would Be in mischief and keep up a continued noise. t Others appealed unwilling to“beljeve their eyes,” l and lay quietly in their mothers arms, watch r ingthe pioceedings, with apparent interest, while I otners insisted on hiding their innocent faces in ■Hg their mother’s bosoms, as rs they knew their re- P|jl l luge was there. |||jjt. Young America s Vernacular —Then the ex- Hk previous which Mi on one’s ears! “Tome “to mudder’s arms, madder’s ’ittie pet.” “Oh! “you IfM darling Vtle toad!” “B'esS its ’ittie heart, it “shall have some tandy.” “Tot, tot to Baridy boss. ‘on its rnamme's ’ittie boss.” “Stan’ up “itt!e pet ’ “Its sweet, so it is, mudder P* knows it “is.” “Dump if it wants to, tause it | tan dump” ‘Tiss mamma now, wont it tiss 1 mamma?” “Bouucety bounce, bomcety bounce.” m “Now what a “naughty boy, see, the gentlemen | are co ning.” “That’s a good bady—nurse can I tome its hair, an’ it “don’t try a bit.” “Sweety, mm sweety, mothers sweet,” and an hundred moie lust such expressions. Where the Babies Come From.— One hundred and twenty seven babies were entered for exhi- i ■ bition. And they came from almost every where. Several counties, including Ham.lton of Ohio, were well represented, and then there were ba |P r bies from Indiana, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and ■ Massachusetts We wouid publish the names, Hi but for the serious protests of the parents, who do not desire the world to know that their babies entered for the prizes and did not get it. We K/ appreciate their feelings and submit to their re- Hf quest. In such an immense crowd we could not with any propriety get anything like a personal description of the babies, but we will mention a K few which attracted general attention. The Prettiest Baby. —lt was generally admit ted that decidedly the prettiest child on exhibi tion was !rom Cincinnati; it is the daughter of Mr. Henry Howe. It is a really a sweet child, and, without pretending to be a judge, we must coincide with the general opinion. Large and fat children seemed to predominate. One from Indiana,one five months old, weighed twenty-seven and a half pounds. Another, four IJ I i months old, weighed twenty pounds. £Lfj A pair of twins, of Clark County, attracted S much attention. They were very pretty, and as near alike as two peas. An elderly lady was present with her seven ' teenth baby, only two months old. She claimed nothing extraordinary in the child, but thought •he was deservii g of a premium—and she certain ly is. Without attempting to particularize, we will just say, that we think all the babies presented J*jK were really pretty, and that their parents have ifl® just cause to be proud of them. Prizes Awarded —Names of the Vidors. —The session was a long one, but about 6 o’clock in I the evening the final decision was made.and the J 9O prizes awarded as follows: First prize, a splendid service of silver plate, including a targe salver, to the daughter of Wm Romner of Vienna, Ciark county, aged 10 months. Second prize, a service of silver plate, to the son of Wm. McDowell of Fulton, Hamil ton Co, Ohio,aged 13 months. Third prize, a plain service of silver, to the daughter of Mr. A. Caron of Philadelphia. Dissatisfaction — Volunteer Prize. —Great dis satisfaction was expressed at the sward of the first prize. It was thought it would be given at ||. - once, to tbe daughter of Mr. Howe, of Cincin nati, and it was even proposed to take up a sub scription on the spot, to purchase her a gift worth at least as much as the prize. It was understood that her claim had been strongly urged, and that the prize was awarded to the other child by a majority of only one vote. * should not pass unnoticed, and afrer the awards had been made known, waited or. the little fa vorite. »Dd through Mr. DeGraff of Dayton, pre \ seated her with a large and costly statuette of i our Savior Blessing Little Children.

Qy To Adysrtiser*.—JTrom this date, until further notice, no Advertisements will be inserted | in our column*, union banded in before pour | o’elook, P. M. Ounwlvee. | With pain and regret, I announce the death* | by Yellow fever, yesterday, of Willis Guizc | Thompson, eldest son of Mr. S. M. Thompson, ■ Commercial Editor of this psper. He was taken ; down on Friday evening last, at midnight; a j few hours before, the writer of this walked with him from Mr. Fogarty’* Drug Store, on Broad street, to the lower market, near his residence, at which time he was, to all appearance, in fine j health and spirits; now, —cold in death. This sad event has, of course, prevented Mr. Thompson from attending to his duties at the office, and will account for the absence of many j things, which should appear in our columns this morning; among which, are the names of seve ; ral who have contributed to the fund of the Sa i maritan Society.— Gko.

DAVID L. ROATH, Sec’y Board Health. The Weather. We have had very cool night* for more than a week, but night belore last was the coldest of all. We are informed that there was quite a smart frost on the Sand Hills, r.ear the city, but we have not yet heard of any in the city. py The Charleston papers received last eve ning, contain Captain Luce’s statement of the loss of the Arctic. Its great length prevents us from giving it this morning, as we have but three compositors in the office. We will lay it before our readers to-morrow. Health of Charleston.

The Savannah Republican says: We yester day received the lollowing communication from a correspondent at St. Marys, giving a most gloomy and distressing account of the condition of the health of that place. We had hoped that our neighbors would be 6iempt from the scourge but it has been decreed otherwise, for one mail scarce reaches us bringing us the painful news of distress that bears down our friends of Beaufort and Darien, when it is followed by another wail | from those of St. Marys. St. Mart's; Gao., Oct 17, 1854. Messrs. Editors :—While the angel of death, I jftuiy* ot°ine‘ciues 1 or® uMatuJ, vve too have felt the scourge of his hand. Uptothistimesincetheepidemic commenced we have had 18 deaths, perhaps not all however from Yellow Fever. There are now jierhaps from 30 to 100 cases in town that are or should be un der medical treatment; there is scarcely a house without some sick in it. Physicians cannot do the work imposed upon them ; for out of the four we had,our beloved Valentine appears al most in the arms of death, Dr. DeLyou also is sick, and Dr. Bacon after having gone day and night from the beginning is prostrate, and his little son was said be dying at our last ad vices. Many of our citizens, (our Intendant among them) have fled tbe place. Nurses are scarcely to be obtained,and provisions are scarce. Lambda. Health of the City—Official Report.

Mulbkrries and “Peaches” in October.— Last evening we were not a little surprised at the sight of some ripe mulberiies which were handed us by Mr. Thos. Purse, as a specimen of this fruit, from a tree in the vicinity of his reai- ; dence on South Broad street. The tree, Mr. Purse tells us. has a very good crop upon it. The berries are ot tbe usual size aud flavor ot the spring fruit. Now, as to the p;aches: they were not sent us—being <OO young, as our friend remarked, to , be seperafced from the “ parent stem.” In a word, i they were “ peachlings' l (to fabricate the word,) j just beginning to shoot. Verily, such a state of 1 things is enough to tempt one to exclaim : *• Thou hast all seasons for thirie own, oh”—peaches, and mulberries too: were it not for the unmistakea- j ble prospect now that they ore doomed soon to wither at the North wind’s breatn.” The gale of the 7th and Blh September stript 1 tbe leaves from our trees, and, immediately after, 1 a fresh-end beautiful green gave all a spring-like < appearance- Saemutak Rep , 10 tk mst. BY TELEGRAPH. CoLUMDIA, Oct. 18. The Northern Line of Telegreph is down be yond Raleigh. Capt. Luce was expected to arrive in N. York on Monday night. A heavy North East storm occurredYSong the coast on Sunday. The Philadelphia House, at Cape May, has been struck by lightning. ‘ ‘ The Vermont Legislature has elected Jacob Collamer, Whig, Senotor for the long term, and L. Brainard, Free Soil, for the shortterm. The heights above Sevastopol were carried by assault after tour hours fighting. Prince Men achikoff, with the remnant of the Russian army, then retreated into the city, where, at the last accounts, they refused to surrender. New Orleans, Oct. 18.—Sickness is rapidly abating in this city. The interments last week comprised 272, including 134 from yellow fever. New Orleans Market. —Cotton has been firm to day, with sales of 4300 bales at 8} cents per lb. for Middling. The increase in the re ceipts amounts to 51.000 bales. Mess Pork is worth sl4 75 per bbl. Lard is dull and declin ing. Freights of Cotton to Liverpool have de clined, and rule at 7-16 d. Sight exchange on New York is quoted at a quarter per cent, pre mium. [From the New Orleans Picayune , Oct. 14.] Later from Mexico. The steamship Orizaba, Capt. Forbes, which has been due since the morning of the 11th inst., reached the wharf about 9 o’clock this morning. She had been detainud at Vera Cruz till the morning of the 10th inst., by a heavy norther, which prevented her from getting out. She left at 10 A. M. of that day. Capt. Forbes reports having left in port at Vera Cruz the American brig Nemephar, Capt. Marthchock. She was to leave on the 10th inst. We have papers by the Orizaba from Vera Cruz to the 10th inst., and from the city of Mexi co to the sth. Among them we have received eopies of the new paper, the Correo de Espana There is not much of importance in the papers. The great features are, as usual, festivities, rob beries, Indian depredations, and an extraordinary postponement of a ball, which was to have taken place on the evening of the 27th ult., the anni versary of Mexican independence. The Mexican Economist of the 30th ult, whose account we take for the present, reports the fol lowing as the manner in which the 27th was eelebrated: “ In the morning a solemn mass was celebra ted in the cathedral, assisted by all the civil and military authorities. Divine service finished, the authorities proceeded in procesion to the Alame da, where an oration was pronounced by Mr. Tagle. After this the Regiment of ths Guards marched out to Chapultepec, where a military breakfast was laid out, attended by His Serene Highness the General President, his Ministers, and other authorities. In the evening the whole city was brilliantly illuminated, and presented a splendid appearance.” We shall only add to this that a decree had previously been issued, ordering all persons to illuminate and bedeck their premises, under pen alties from $5 to SIOO. From the Mexican Economist also we take the following account of the sudden postpone ment of the ball above referred to: “ In our number of the 9th inst. we msntioaed that a splendid ball wa9 to b# give* at Looja on the 27th inst., anniversary of the victorious army of the independence having entered the capital. This ball, however, did not take place. It was suspended on the evening of the same day, in consequence of some disagreeable occurrences, by which the families invited and the members of the Lonja were the sufferers. ** The corps diplomatique having been invited, were expected to attend in uniform, but having refused to do so, the Government dacliu*d to at tend the ball, and it was suspended. “ We had already written an article fully ex plaining the facts of the case, when w* saw yes terday in the Diario Offidal a paragraph, stating that the Government would publish U* whole correspondence that had taken plaea in th* mat ter with the Corps Diplomatiqus. We, fcherelore, add a translation of the correspondence in ques tion. “In the meantime we only mantion what is said in public, and what Will astoaish our Euro pean readers—that an old coat is at the bottom of the whole story!” Various other reporta ara in circulation. One says that it was intended to proclaim Santa An na Emperor at the ball; another that it w*t the plan of Ygsuala that was to b* proclaimed. There is a report that on* of ths Regiments has already proclaimed him Emperor, but were prevented from carrying out their plana by the double operation of a shower of rain and the re fusal oi the other regiment* to join them. We clip the following items from the Mexican Economist of the 30th ult: With the object of improving his health, H. S. H., the President, has taken up hia residence for a few days in the Archbishop’s palace, at Tacubaya, about three miles from ths capital. On the 25th inst., at 5 P. M., a salute of artillery ! announced his departure. H. S. H. was accom panied by his ministers and staff, and was es corted by a detachment of Lancers. *• On the 28th a funeral service was celebrated as usual in memory of the victims of Independ ‘ ence.” The roads throughout the Republic are repre sented as in a horrible condition, trade as fear fully stagnant, and the cholera has been commit ting serious ravages at some points. The New York Cronica has been prohibited from entering the Republic, and it is ordered to be burnt wherever found Life in Nkw Yoke. —Eighteen thousand i people in the city of New York live un ! der ground—that is to say, in cellars, vaults and j holes. So Rev. Mr. Cuyler asserts, and his in | formation is said to be derived from actual inves j tigation. He tells of one neglected quarter—a j single lodging room or den—in which one hun i dred outcasts of both sexes herd together, indis criminately, every night. That may be called j life in New York underground. [From the London News , Sept. 23. j Interview with Her Majesty. Mr. Nathan Thompson, formerly engineer of the Collins steamers, recently came to England Ito exhibit a safety seat. He andeavored to pen ; etrate into Buckingham Palace, to exhibit it to | her Majesty, but was referred to Captain De j man, oi' royal yacht. Off went the American | to Osborne, and found hi 9 way on board the i yacht, and explained his object to Capt. Deman. I Shortly after the royal party arrived, the yonng i princesses each seized upon one of Mr. Thomp son’* seats, aud rocked themselves to and fro with true childish simplicity. Presently one of ; the crew was ordered overboard to try the mer ! its of this novel life preserver, and the experi ment evidently was looked upon by the ladies and gentlemen who accompanied the Queen and Prince with great interest. Mr. Thompson, meanwhile, was standing amidships, much dis appointed that he had not been spoken to, and fearing that, after all, be should not accomplish the great object of his journey. At that moment, much to his delight, Cap tain Denman touched him on the shoulder, and said, “ Mr. Thompson, I have permission to pre sent you to her Majesty.” “ I shall be very happy, sir,” and, amid the smiles and tittering of the party whosurrounded the Queen, he ap proached. and was introduced by Captain Den man, “ I have the honor to present the inventor of tha life-buoy to your Majesty.” “ How d’ye do, ma’am ?” said Mr. Thompson. The Queen bowed and the ladies suppressed their merriment as well as they could. “I have brought, ma’am,” said Mr. Thompson, “ one ol my seats as a pres ent for you and your husband, which Ijhope you will accept.” At this, further attempts at re pression of laughter were unavailing; but tbe Queen with great good nature, smiled, and con descendingly said, “ Thank yon Mr. Thompson, it is a very interesting and useful invention.” After replying to a few inquiries lrom Prince Albert, whose rank he was not aware cf until he saw the Queen leaning on his arm, Mr Thompson withdrew, and waving his hat in ex uberant spirits, embarked in one of tbe Fairy’s Doats kindly provided for him by the captain.
