IN. varr,n,a central Fair.

n appears from the report OF the Executive
Committee Of the State Agricultural Society. pub
iis,sed 10 yesterdays Dispatch, that Richmond
hsd contributed In land and money, mp to October,
1884 ia aid Of the Stats Society and lite Fairs, the
sum Of y.foar uoasand dollars The Committee
add that this sum will amount TO several thousand

Executive Committee Of the State Society, dates
only up 70 1854. We do not know how much more

The report of the Virginia Central Agricultural
Society, also published In yesterdays Dispatch,
aud which Society will hold its Fairs in the neigh
borhood Of this city places the new Society in its
true position and shows that il Is not intended to
be antagonistical TO the State Society. Richmond
will have her Fair, as did every other city in the
Common wealth, when the State Fair was held near
Richmond; and instead of proving antagonistic,
each will bs Of service to the other, and promote
the common benefit of all. We congratula to the
new Society upon the favorable auspices under
which IL will commence its career. 1t will have
one Of the most beautiful aud convenient places
for exhibition In the whole country. with extern
sivs and convenient buildings, stables, stalls, wa
ter, &c, everything prepared and ready for use.
We cannot doubt that II will enlist the warm CO.

MORE CONFLICTS IN KANsAs.-A correspondent of
the New York Tribune, dating his letter "Leaven-
WORTH Kansas Territory, April 25th," says that at
that date the United States troops had not left
Fort Scott, they were reported to have DONE
The same correspondent narrates Il story that,
from any other source than one of the free-State
men themselves, we should have discredited. He
says that, on the 21st of April, seventeen armed
men entered the valley OF the Marmaton, to
make domcilary visits to some obnoxious pro-
slavery men," They told the obnoxious persons
that they had subscribed to the doctrine that
pro-slavery men and free-State men could not live
together" They therefore gave the men they visi-
ted numbering seven or eight, notice to quit in
twenty four hours. They also forcibly took arms
and ammunition from those whom they visited
Some Of the men thus outraged, however, lived

mand there United States deputy marshal Little

twenty-five dragons. The free.State marauders
