Editor of Advertiser :--Your valuable jourual holds high rank in tho apprecia tion of our commercial men, allbrding Inbiri, as it doc?, a vehielo-through which te rsacfra very largo and'-i?craftive trade in old Edgotield, and adjacent Counties in Carolina. Your advertising columns abundantly attest this, and your frequent kind commendation of Augusta and her material interests has served to strength en that natural alliance between Augusta iuid Edgeficld which runs back beyond the memory of man. Notwithstanding your frequent visits hero, and consequent familiarity'with Augusta affairs, a few dots niay not bo without interest to. a nttmbcrol' your rcaddrs: v Tho advent of tho business season hus operated most happily upou tho external appearance of matters, and our streets exhibit an encouraging animation. Cot ton, however, arrives but slowly and planters generally manifest but little dis position to sell at present prices. Con viction of a short crops strengthens them in the faith of a reaction in price, and they only sell to meet obligations, which cannot be deferred without detriment to their factors and provision merchants. Trade is consequently not so lively us at provious corresponding periods, when the,staple was freoly phxust upon the market. The fmanci?l c?riditid?'of plan ters generally is much better than at the corresponding period last year, owing mainly to their economy in producing tho present crops. Hen.cethey are doubt less able to control a much grer.ter pro portion pf the crops, in awaiting an ad vance, and will possibly curtail some what the anticipated profits of specula tors in the staple. Tho most important subject, as affect ing the future growth and expansion of Augusta, is to be pronounced upon to morrow, (Wednesday) by the citizens at large. I alludo to tho project of widening tho Augusta Canal, an enterprise which lias been discussed by the City Council md through the local press for more than ;wo years. A thorough survey has re cently been made by a competent and ?xperienced Canal Engineer, and the es ;imated cost of the workfurnished. Some apposition exists to the scheme, but it is ronexaliy conceded that the vot?^of the people will authorize the City Council to proceed with the work. Contrary to vlrat would naturally be expected in inch cases, many of the colored voters ire said to be against the project, v Their p ound of opposition lies in tho npprc icnsion that the multiplication of nian ifacturing establishments hero will alig nent the white majority of voters in thc rity, and placo them completely beyond he possibility of securing thc most in lignificant municipal patronage, to which hey still aspire. Among tho immediate natcrial benefits consequent upon the .ompiotion of this important enterprise vill.be thc erection of a third mill with 0,000 spindles, by the Augusta Factory, ind the addition of 5,000 spindles to one >f their present mills. Other moro re- ' note, but not less advantageous enter )riscs will bc stimulated into operation, ind Augusta will assume her'rightful )lace among the manufacturing cities of he South. The Augusta and Hartwell Railroad, ibout which your readers have heard so auch, seems at last to be on the list of inte rp rises which arc to have an actual jcginning. The contract for thc bulld og ol' the entire lino to Rabun Gap was et out about thc middle of August last, o Mr. E. Him ford, of New York, rcpre lented as a reliable contractor, financial y able to carry out his contract in good kith. Thc work/ was jmiced .in.charge if Mr. Charlea Seymour as Chief Engi leer, who enjoys high reputation in lis profession, having been connected villi several of the most important rail oad enterprises in the country. It was tnnouneeel and generally believed that v'ork would bo immediately commenc ;d. The arrangement of somo details, ?owcvcr, has interposed to postpone thc )cgining of thc work previous to the .0th of October, at which time, I have luthority to say, thc contractor will place ?00 hands on the first ten milos of the ?oad, at this end, which it is asserted will )c completed by thc first of January. Che notorious " developer," George D. Jhapman, has, I am reliably informed, .esigncd his position,->in ?the .-Hoard of IMreetlonv and now has nothing'to do vith tho road. This fact is an encourag ng symptom in tho health of thc enter r?se, and will serve lo stimulate the rue friends of the road, who have hero loforo been alienated from it through his ;onnection with itu its management.. . Our Second Annual Fair/ whick opens >n the 31st of October, is an event which H>mmands tho highest expectations ol' mr citizens, who are familiar with thc ndustrious exertions being put forth by ho ollices of thc Association to place its mccess beyond possibility of failure. Tho work of preparing the grounds, ;han which none more handsome or bet er fitted for the purposes of a fair can be bund in the South, is progressing vigor ausly. The premium list of the Asso ciation has boen arranged with great caro, md leaves testimony ot a commenda ble liberality, tho aggregate of premi ums reaching ?15,000, with ?4,600 sot aside for field crops. Over ?2,000 aro appro priated for the tastest horses, thus en couraging a feature of tho exhibition which commends itself to universal in terest and appreciation. Among the spe cial premiumns will be found the fol lowing: j jj Wilcox, Gibbes cfc Co.-1,000 for best crops of Cotton from Phoenix Guano. Dickson Fertilizer Company-?1,000 for crd^s of ?otiori, Corn aud 'Potatoes from home-made manure. J. O. Mathewson-?500 for best crops of Cotton from Soluble Pacific Guano. Pollard & Co.-?45,0 for best crops -of Cotton fr?m Sea Fowl Fertilizer or Brad ley's patent. Thos. P. Stovall-fivebarclsof "Pride Df Augusta"' Flour, for best HonierMade and Bakers' Bread. H. C. Barrow-?25 for the best perfor mer on tho Piano. Barton, Alexander & Wallen, Now York-?100 in gold for tho best Gin made in the Cotton States, A grand tournament, for which the most perfect arrangements havo been consummated, will be among the leading features of tho attractions for visitors. Indeed, whatever can advance tho inter ests of exhibitors, or promote tho pleas ure of visitors, will b? ta.ranged upon a scale at once appropriate ande omplote, Augusta sends greeting to Old Edge-' field, and her sister Counties, assured of a favorable response and large attendance therefrom, with the representative of the Advertwer to bca? j?UueyJJ .of ?the good faith of our promises. A large attendance is confidently anti cipated from adjoining States, and indeed from more remote sections. Tho liberal ity of the railroads centering here, in reducing rates of passage and transpor tation guarantees an immense crowd and ah exhibition worthy of Augusta and her people. Aa an inducement to exhibitors and visitors from distant quarters, arrange ments have been effected by which spe cial excursion tickets from New York to Aurista and return can be obtained for ?25. ERIN A Home Endorsemct. In a lato issus of tho Augusta Cfo?wf ? tutioiialist wo find tho following com pliment any referonco to tho Dry Goods Emporium of V. RICHARDS dc BRO., and tako pleasure in transferring the same to our odiums: IMPROVEMENTS ?T TOWN.-WO' aro ?jlad to notice that improvements arc bo ng1 m ad o up as well as down town, While taking a walk near tho Planters' Hotel yesterday, our attention was. called to an addition which has boon made to the already large'store of V. Richards <fe Bro. By tho courtesy of tho first named gentleman, we were permitted to take a walk over the establishment. We found that a largo building, four stories high, exclusive of the cellar, had been added to the original edifice, making the depth of tho whole, from front to .rear, one hundred and'Sixty leefc. The first floor is used for . a general sales room, .in the rear of which is a neat dressing room, which is set apart for the convenience of ladies. Tho second floor of the new building is devoted to. "notions" and various small articles. The third we found filled with domestics, calicoos, while in the fourth story were piles of woolen goods and other heavy fabrics. A large stock of goods, comprising all tho novelties of the season, has been put into the establishment by theenterpris ing proprietors, who are determined to keep a t ull line of everything in the dry goods business suitable for the wants of wholesale and retail buy?rs. A number of polite clerks are always ready to wait on customers as soon as they enter the store, and everything is conducted so systematically and weil that visitors can not help feeling satisfied. Besides this building, we noticed a general air of improvement in the vi ein itv. The neat Iron fronts in .several of the stores impart a more business-like and modernized appearance to that por tion of the city, and lcd us to hope that they were but the ? forerunners of many others.
