ro,,, II is evident that both parties will
,at have out their fun strength.
Much interest exists in political circles to
r-,ow what course President Grant will
fake in his message to Congress on the inn
Dor;ant topics (now unsettled affecting the
drstinics Of this country. No one imagines
Thai the slightest inkling Of what he viii
suggest 10 Congress can be known before
rGc document is sent in. On one point
mere Is general agreement. and that is
that II will not he very long.
The indications are that the finances will
receive no little discussion while Congress
lasts. The views Of senator's and members
VI the House vary extensively on the topic :;
nut strong effort will be made to har-
mouizc them.
ON the subject Of the admission Of the
states vet uurcStored to their places in The
Union the opinion which is held by the
,-,, 1Qr1e majority is that there Is no reason
Whatever for any further refusal to admit
fhem It will have 10 be done, aud that
garGly upon the assembling Of Congress.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
STAUNroN, October 10. 1S6!

Spcclal telegram 20 the Dispatch.
STAUNroN, October Il, 1869.
The Augusta Fair opened to-day, and has
proved to be grand success. The town of
Staunton is alive with visitors. Over three
thousand people were on the Fair Grounds
to-day. Large additional entries of stock
have been made, and the number of miscel-
laneous articles has been much increased
since yesterday. There are now over two
hundred horses, some Of them very fine and
handsome, on exhibition.
The cattle are considered very superior in
quality, and the number on exhibition ex-
ceeds the expectation.
The Valley, and especially staunton, is
well represented IN agricultural nipple
ments, but very few from abroad arc on ex-
hibition. Irby & Snyder and Watt 6
Knight are the only exhibitors from Rich
mond.
There is "a large and very fine exhibition
of ladies' handiwork, agricultural pro-
duets, minerals, fruits, etc. The officers of
the Fair regard it as much better than that
of last year.
Colonel Frank G. Ruftin failed to arrive,
and impromptu speeches were made by
Colonel t. J. Randolph, Of Albemarle
county Hon. William Mines, Jr., of She
nandoah county, congressman elect from
this district; and Hon. A. II. II. Stuart.
Twenty-Five to thirty members of the
Baltimore City Council have arrived, and
are quartered at the Virginia and American
Hotels, as the guests Of the town.
Large numbers of strangers arrived to-
day, and, as consequence, the hotels are
full.

IMPORTANT DEcIsloN.-Inth the circuit court
of the United States the important case Of
Joseph i. Stewart Is. National Union Bank
of Maryland, National Mechanics, Bank,
Exchange Bank, l.. 7. Baync, ct al, was
decided yesterday by Judge Giles. who sus-
tanned the dcmurrers fled by the defendants
in reply to the plaintiffs bill. The Judge
decided that the plaintiff was not entitled to
relief upon the plea that the amounts adj
vanced to Bayne & Co. by the banks We're
in excess Of ten per cent. OF the capital Of
said banks, because the suit was not pro-
pcrlv brought, and also that if the suit was
properly brought that the collatcrals held by
the banks were not nearly equal to the
amount advanced by them to Baync Il Co.,
and therefore that no part of the assets held
by them could be applied to the benefit Of
tho other reditors.-Bdlttmore Gazette.
This was an attempt to make the bank
lose its securities land consequently debt
due to i'll on the ground that it had violated
the national banking law.
