rnE HICKsnuRG FAIR.

By the courtesy Of Col. c. C.
FlOWsrFee, we had the opportunity
yesterday Of visiting the Fair
Grounds. and gladly svailed our
self Of It in company with the afOre.
said gentleman, Mr.. W. A. Fair
child, the Secretary Of the Society,
and Capt. J. N. Searles.
The grounds are being put in an
excellent condition. They have
been thoroughly ditChed and drain
ed, the hollows filed and the track
raised In low places and well lev
elled with firm earth, and being
we'll ditched on both sides for the
entire circuit, makes It in excellent
order for the coming exhibition,
far superior to what 1t was last sea-
son and fully up to Its needs.
The Judges stand and seats for
spectators have been removed to
the west side to on elegant and ell
gible location. Work on the stalls,
stands, sheds, &C., is rapidly pro-
crossing.
The roads leading to the grounds
are being improved, and the Society
have been expending their own
money in this work which should
be done by the city.
We urge 1t upon the city authori-
ties to make appropriations for this
particular object of improving the
roads leading 10 the locality Of
the Fair Grounds. It is a mat
ter of public importance to
the city and county that these Fairs
should be made successes as they
are wholly conducive to public
benefit. Therefore they should be
fostered and encouraged by sub
stantial pecuniary aid, and every
citizen should be, and doubtless il
willing to pay something towards
so laudable work.
So should our merchants aud bus
mess men generally, aid literally IL
making the coming and all subse'
quent Fairs great attractions ant
sources Of pleasure and profit t
all at home and abroad.
Nearly two thousand dollars II
money is offered already as specia
premiums besides many articles o
value.
we hope, and expect the presen
exhibition will eclipse any thin
yet seen about here. No efforts o
expense will be spared to accom-
plish this. Let US all bend ou
shoulders to the wheel.

THIS morning, an esteemed cor.
respondent endorses our views ex-
pressed u few days since, relative
to the purchase and control Of an
hotel, in this city, by stock COM
pany. We are glad to see that
the suggestion has met with fa-
vor, and hope that it will not be
permitted to die out as so many
schemes have, which have been
suggested for the welfare of the
city. Cities like other things
need advertising. What better
advertisement can there be for a
city than an elegant hotel. Hun.
dreds of people take a meal in
this city who never so much as
buy pocket handkerchief from q
merchant here. Such persons
take their impression from the
hotel. If it is elegant, so are
their impressions; if it is bad ol
Indifferent, they entertain CORES
pOnding sentiments of the city
and its enterprise. That join
stock operations work to a charm
our citizens have but to look tt
the result of joint operation in tn
Merchants Wharf Boat. Stool
in that institution, cannot to-day
be bought for one hundred pc
cent. premium. We do not intent
in these articles to disparage tn
efforts of gentlemen conducting
hotels here. These we have ar
! well kept, and in the hands 0
. honorable gentlemen; but W
: think, that Vicksburg, with th
? future which she has before he
should make greater pretension
/ than at present. We return thank
to our correspondent for his kin

THE New York World says a
new mode Of suicide has been dis
covered by an enterprising Wes-
terner, He was travelling, and
came to a farm where they we're
threshing out grain, and going to
the barn.yard, began talking to
some of the men at work, telling
them he used to work with q ma
chine, whereupon he asked leave
to drive. His request was grant
ed, and after a short spell he ask
cd il he might not feed the ma
chine. 1t was quite apparent that
he was well acquainted with thresh-
ing; and having fed for some time
he looked around at the driver
with a nod, signiiying that he
wanted more power. Standing
still till the cylinder was flying
and buzzing around with greatly
increased speed and every one be.
coming alarmed at the awful mo.
ton, he jumped head first against
the teeth of the cylinder, and in
less than an instant he was com
pletely threshed. No one knew
him, and there were no papers Oh
his person by which he could b'
idantifind

in the Superior Court, from Janu-

563 to which, in order to form an
estimate, about fifty should be
added to make up the years bal

SEvERAL papers in the State
while protesting undying hatred
for the Radical party yet refuse
TO affiliate with the Democratic
party, and urge that 70 the Con-
servative party Is reserved the
privilege Of restoring the people
to all their rights. Now political
parties are supposed to be CON-
posed Of something besides
names. They are founded upon
principles. Is it the principles Of
the Democratic party which are OBJ.
jeCted to by our sore-headed
friendsp Ifso, please inform the
public in what respect the prinCi-
Piles of the Conservative party
differ from those of the Demo
cratic party. If it is only the
name that is objected to, sensible
men should be ashamed TO admit
that they are governed by such
unreasonable prejudice. Do men
think they can recommend them
selves to the people who prefer a
miserable petty prejudice to all the
principles involved in this strug-
gle, and because a majority refuse
to pay any regard whatever to
these senseless wailings, they must
needs throw all kinds of obstruc
tions in the way and probable ruin
the whole State ? Where is the Con
servative party Of which we reat
and hear so much from disafected
sore.heads2 We know of the ex
istence of a we'll organized and
thoroughly drilled Radical party
pledged to the destruction ofevery
right of the people, and we know
of another we'll organized ant

or Wing party. Will MajOI
