Mr. Schley and the President made remarks, urging the members of the Com mittee to use their utmost endeavors to increase tbe circulation of the SoutJum CttUivmfr. The President gave some interesting items of tbe history of the journal and the Society. Mr. 8mith. of Hancock, offered the following . Rf.iotved, That a prise worth $25 be awarded the person who, at tbe next Annual Meeting, will send up the largest list of Subscribers to the Cultivator. Adopted unanimously. Col. Howard, of Fulton, offered the following, which was unanimously acopted: “ Resolved, That the Society deeply sympa thising with the universal patriotic feeling and purpose of the people, and desiring to contrib ute all in its power to advance the success of our struggle for independence, hereby offers to the State its Tent Cloths lor the use of our sol diery, and every dollar in our Treasury for the promotion of our glorious cause.” Unanimous ly adopted. Mr. Collier offered an amendment to the fore- going-—•• That the silver ware and other avail able resources of the Society be turned Into money and tendered to the Government for the pUrpoaes therein set forth”—which was unani mously adopted. The PreaMeat appointed Mr. Markham, Col. Collier and Mr. Robertson a Committee to ex amine the Treasurer's Report, and report to the meeting at 5 o’clock. v The President then announced his positive determination not to serve an^longer than the next Annual Meeting iu his present official ca pacity—alter which the Committee adjourned till 5 o'clock. 5 O’clock. The Committee met according*to adjourn ment. The Committee appointed to prepare an ad dress to the people of Georgia, presented one, which was unanimously adopted. We shall publish it in our next issue. The Committee appointed to examine into the accounts of the Treasurer, reported that,that officer had received the sum o 1 $4,075.00; and had paid out $.1.6*8.15, leaving a balance in his handstif $367.54, The report was received and adopted. The Rev. C. W. Howard called attention to the fact that in the organization of our Govern ment, it has been contemplated to onut the De partment of Agriculture, which he regretted. He desired to have the Committee present a memorial to our Government, in the name of the Agricultural Society of the State of Geor gia, to create such a Department, as equally aa important as the War, Navy or Treasury Departments. In the commencement of our career, we shonld have our Government estab lished upon principles, and reoeive that direc tion which Is most essential to our welfare, and in uuison with our pursuits. Wc are essential ly an agricultural people. Col. Howard thought a movement in this di rection would be inopportune and premature. The Bureau, as connected with the Govern ment at Washington, was justly a stench in the nostrils of all good inen—under Yankee pid dling control and a nuisance. He believed snch a Government Bureau a good thing, if .prop erly managed, but the prejudice that now exists •gainst it in the South would be hard to eradi cate. It would reqiure the greatest efforts o the best men In. the South, at a time whan the country whs at peace, to get Congress to estab lish such a Bureau. Mr. Schley differed from Col. Howard. We are essentially an agricultural people—the North s mechanical; and it would surely he a move no w in the right direction for our Society to memori alize Congress to establish a Bureau of ibis kind. Our lands are worn out and devastated by bad cnltura. We must reclaim them,and tothissnd every advantage of science, every appliance and assistance must be used. Our poverty- stricken hills must be resuscitated, or wp will lose our weslthand population. We cannot be gin this work too soon. Rev. Mr. Howard theo moved the following, which was unanimously adopted : * Renolvrtl, That this Society will memorialize tbe Congress of the Confederate States to or ganize an Agricultural Bureau at as early a period aa in their judgment the interests of these Stales will allow. RtaolvtH, That a Committee of five be ap pointed by the President to carry the foregoing into effect. Mr. Howard further remarked that iu tbs old Union, we were not homogenous. Our views and interests clashed. Now it is not so. We have one great interest in which every body *1 deeply concerned, and which overrides all olh- era; that is agriculture. The government should recognise and encourage this interest in every possible way for it Interfered with no man's pursuits or Interests among ns. Tbe President will hereafter announce the Committee through the public press. Dr.Camak was then, by acclamation re-elected Secrcl whl Dr. Camak was then, by acclamation re-elected HOARDING.

Atlanta, April 30, 1861. Produce is moving rapidly at advanced rates. Bacon sells freely at 11 nts. for Shoulder*, 13 for Hams and 14 for Ciear Sides. Prices tend ing upward. Corn ia lively at from 92@98, aa per quality and quantity. Flour is moving with more activity than uaual, and large sales were made yesterday at $6.90, $7.80 and $8.10. Lard ia firm at from 13(& 131. We received no Western news Yesterday, but see from freight lista that goods are still coming through. Tbe boats are not seised unless contraband article* are on board- such as arms, powder, Ac. The blockade will prove a failure, as it ia to the interest of the parties to keep communication open, and when inter est is weighed in the scale of patriotism in that section, it is not difficult to see which prepon derates. Bales of Dry Goods are confined to leading staple articles. Nearly all the goods now in market, were purchased and shipped before the tariff went into effect; end next season goods will be Imported direct, consequently prices cannot be any higher, hut every indica tion is that they will be lower. Tbe new tariff law will, no doubt, pass at an eurly day of the Congress, and the difference ie great in favor of Southern porte. So much disfavor hrs the Morrill Tariff been received with that all European powers have deelared their intention to go where tbe beet induce ment# are offered, and plainly pointed to the Confederate 8 tales as the market tor their goods —necessarily all Southern ports become great distributing points, and will occupy tbe posi tion that New York, Boston and other North ern oitiee hare heretofore held.

This being tbe greet junction for trade from all points, hut a short time will elapse before it will take the lead at'ihe great interior importing city. MONETARY. Money is plenty.
