Saturdays Times has few words upon the Asri-
cultural Fair. II also notices second letter from
Mr. Dix. OF New York, to the Augusta Constitution
alie in vndication of himself from the charge of
AboIiiionism Mr.. D. goes back as far as 1895, and
the Times thinks that he makes out very plausi-
BILE case, though it processes not to be familiar
with his political record. 1t ventures to remark,
however, that Mr. Dix has ignored one very import
nm. fact; that he run ms the free soil abolition
didate for Governor of New York In lsis.
The Mail has an analysis of Mr. MARcY's kosta
letter.
The Enquirer asserts that "there cannot be a
more groundless assumption than the idea OF sort
of affinity and sympathy between the free sellers
of the North and the States rights men of the
South It contrasts the position of the two and
intin,a.es that the freesoers of the North cannot
claim the confidence of the Democratic party for

THE AUGUSTA SUBsCRIPTIoN.-We should
have noticed earlier the remarks of the Staun-
ton Vindicator upon the causes of the refusal
of the people of Augusta to vote the sub
scription of $4,000 to the Central Railroad
The Vindicator assures us that there are no
warmer friends of the road than those people;
but they had become dissatisfied with the
management of the road-they did not con-
slider the funds of the corporation judiciously
expended and they did not think judicious
selections of the Engineer Corps had been
made The Vindicator states that a consi-
derable part of the track had to be taken up
and re-ievelled. 1t also says that the people
have been disappointed as to the time when
the road would be completed to Stanton
This, it was promised, would take place the
past Summer. Without meaning to say any
thing as to the justice or injustice of these
objections, it seems to us that the best course
for the good people of Augusta would have
been to have subscribed the money and left
the correction of the abuses of which they
complained to the proper tribunal.

merce says:
"I'he contemplated Exhibition of the
Industry of all Nations in New York,
is exerting decided influence on real es-
tate in The vicinity of the "Palace," and
on various branches of business in other
parts Of the city. Most, if not all of the
hotels, have all their available accommo.
dations engaged long way into the sum
mer, and rich harvest is anticipated by
their respective proprietors. With a
view to preparations for this exigency,
we hear OF plans for the construction of
several new hotels in the upper part OF
the city. Shop-keepers arrange their
stock with some reference to the pr os-
pec,ive demand, and citizens generally
have to make calculations for an access
ton of country relatives to their family
circle. Profiting by example, "World' S
Fairs" will now probably be in vogue,
both in city and country, on the seashore
and in the backwoods, until the commu-
nifty get heartily tired of them.
