Let every men who wants a Report, tend a dol

Let all thoae who want needs, go to men who
grow and keep aneh thing* for sale. That
worthless and corrupt Bureau at Waahington
ha* diecouraged and kept down, to every great
extent, all ear Agricultural journal* and book*,
and all nureery and seed growing enterprise*
by individual*, by causing the people to de
pond on getting the Government report and
seed* for nothing. In this way, hooest enter
prises have been crushed down and rendered
unprofitable, and our planting internet ha* suf
fered, and its progress proportionally retard
ed ; while no benefits to the public have been
derived from the cause of all this stagnation to
our moat important interest*. No scheme can
be devised that will be more baneful and de
leterious to Southern planting.
Report* and seeds that are worth having are
worth paying for. If the Government will not
furnish shabby reports and worthless seeds
gratuitously, private enterprise will put enough
of good articles in this line into the market to
supply every demand, and nt fair prices.
If the Bute Agricultural Sooisty think prop
er, let it raise a fund sufficient to establish a
Urge farm—If we may so term it—on which
to grow, for sale, every valuable seed, herb,
fruit, and all varieties of superior farm stock,
and import snob as are needed and cannot be
produced here, for the purpose of supplying
the 8tate and the Booth with everything in
this line, with good articles of everything that
may be wanted. From this source, let farmers
purchase their supplies, with some assurance
of the good quality and genuineness of what
they pn rob see.
Let the Society also, if it see fit, establish a
weekly or monthly journal, with enough mon
ey invested in it to make a first class publica
tion, with editors of the highest ordsr of tal
ents and education—wall skilled and learned
in every science that can be useful in Agricul
ture. This will do the world some good, and
not be a source of dissatisfaction to any one,
nor an imposition upon the public, nor a plague
spot upon the body politic. Honest industry,
and individual enteprise, will, if we give
it a chance, supply all our wants far better
than any Government undertaking possibly

Our Government ought to be so conducted
that no person would be depending on it, or
looking to it for any kind of favors—not even
thesmallest. It ought to be conducted so that its
citisens, so far as their personal interests would
be thereby effected, would not even be aware
that we had any Government. The only ways
in which its existence should be known, should
he by seeing it announced iu the newspapers,
or by men feeling its power for having violat
ed its laws.
As long as the Government distributes pat
ronage to be scrambled after, or any kind of bon
uses or favors to be sought for, so long will it
be a corrupt concern; and, unless a restraint
be put upon it, corruption will increase, rather
than diminish. For the sake of all we hold
dear, let no effort be made to fasten on us, in
the infancy of our existence, a corrupt and de
moralising system—an incubus—which all the
strength of maturer years cannot shake off,
and which will one day reaoh the vitals, and
extinguish our life. Lst the history of the old
Uuion be a warning to us. Let the experiences
we now suffer, in ridding ourselves of its load
of death—our efforts baptised in blood—teach

the Union was split to pieces-
Electlou in Kentucky.
W* have received the returaa from the one-
side 1 election in Louisville on Saturday last,
for delegates to a Border 8tate Convention. In
that city, thq Union ticket—the only one in
the field—reoeived 8,112 votes. The largest
vote ever before polled in the city, was 7,045.
At the Presidential election last year, it was
7,413 ; so it would seem that this one-sided af
fair, with no opposition, received a larger vote
than there are voters in the whole city ! There
was a good deal of ballot box stuffing at Louis-
▼ilia, and, wa doubt not, all ovsr the State.—
What was to hinder them ? They had things
their own way. Nobody opposed them, or
watched them ; and they were unprincipled
euongh to do anything to fasten abolition rule
on Kentucky! We say it candidly, that in our
opinion, any Southern man who will now op
pose eeoesaion, must be in favor of uncondi
tionally hitching to the car of ooercion—Lin
coln—Abolitionism, world without end.
Tel, in th« face of the facts which make the
fraud palpable to every man with a spark of
•ease, the 44 Louisville Journal ” has the un
blushing effrontery to eall it a great Union vic
tory—that "Louisville has covered herself
with imperiehable honor," and “secession haa
reoeived a staggering blow."
The unscrupulous desperation, with which
the "Journal" has sought to cajole and frighten
the people of Kentucky into enbmission, is, to
our mind, good evidence of iu eenscioucneee
ef the overwhelming defeat that awaiu his ef
forts.

and our destinies are one. I rejoice to be sole
to-4py to proclaim to yon the union of the
South for the sake of the South ; and not only
hr the aaka of the South, but for the sake and
in the name of Liberty—the last refuge of man
oppressed, and the hope of the Vorld. I am
thoroughly convinced, that, independent of
the negro question, we have not left the
North any too soon. Compare their Govern
ment and iu workings, and their institutions
with ours! Their ancient safeguards are being
trampled under foot by thoee now ia power
and is done, too, at the bebeet of their own peo
pie. On the other band, show tne a programme
or a form of government, which promises more
for mankind, or offers greater future security
aud happiness to the people than the Consti
tution of the Confederate States! We have
everything to hope for and encourage ue, iu
upholding it.
But thia ia no time for talk. The enemy ap
proaches us. They have gathered a large force
along our border, and threaten to invade our
soil for the purpose of subjugating us. But we
are ready and able to receive them. We wege
no aggressive war on any one. We stand on
our own soil; and, by the help of God, we will
defend it to the last, against the invading
hordes of Abolitionists which now threaten us
with destruction. When I left Virgiuia, 1 was

I passed through Lynchburg, I saw two splen

way to the point of our country’s danger; and
still, as I came on, I met the brave soldiers
from Mississippi coming to our rescue. I also
noticed that a most cordial and hearty greet
ing and welcome was everywhere extended to
all those soldiers who havesopatriotieally, and
with such alacrity, stepped forth to defend our
country in this, her hour of danger. The men
met them with shouts and cheers. The women
and children, from the windows, waved their

we have fought through this war—this unnat

bigotry and fanaticism is waging on ns; when
we have achieved a glorious victory, and tri
umphed over all our foes; when our liberties
have been secured, and Peace shall spread her
gentle wings and return to us from her ban

our altars and our hearthstones—then we can
speak to all the world and tell of our goodly

But excuse me from saying anything fur

Citisens of Georgia: Thie call upon me is
quite unexpected. I did not suppose I should
be uked to succeed the distinguished gentle
man who has just addressed you. I belong to
one of tbs Alabama Regiments of Volunteers,
and am now on my way to Virginia. As the
distinguished statesmen has just observed, this

though lately from California, where I have

natical North forced the question upon the
South, as it did, I saw that I must either join
Lincoln or the South, and I could not hesitate
a moment. How could I do otherwise than I

Poieo, Illinois, May 7, 1*61.
When I hear one who has always lived in
the North get up and advocate the cause of se
cession as you did in your last letter, it makes
my blood boil. Everything was quiet here un
til the firing upon Sumter, and the attack upon
our troops passing through Baltimore; but
sinoe then, the country has been in a perfect
blase There is nothing done but volunteering
and drilling for the army. Illinois alone, has,
in one week, raised 70.000 volunteers for the
army, and there seems to be no falling off, but
they keep coming in. Wo hare nearly 200
here, ia our town, drilling night and day, who
are waiting to be accepted by the Government.
All party feelings aro dropped, and one and
all go in for ikt Union at alt hazard*. Once in
a while we find a fraifor to hit country; but
he is soon got rid of. If yon were to come here
and talk as you wrote to me. you would have
about one hour to fix for a journey, which we
all hate to take.
In several of the large cities there are ropes
attsched to lamp posts, labelled, “death to trait
or*." This excitement hss been gotten up in
one week.
You ask ine to come dowa there. Well, I
can say I intend to do so, as soon ss there is
more help needed ; but it will not be as you
would wish, for I shall bring my rifle, aud a

.Secret Sessions.
The editor of the “ Louisville Journal,” has
a perfect horror of sooret sessions ; he is afraid
the Legislature of Uis State, which assembled
on last Thursday, would follow what he regards
as the pernicious example of all the Legisla
tive Assemblies and Stale Conventions which
have passed Ordinances of Beocssion ; and thus
tries to bully them into submission to bis die*
tales, threatening to disperse and overthrow
the Assembly, utterly, by sanguinary mob
foroe, if they decline to tAke bis advice:
44 And, now, if, with these examples before
us, and in view of the peculiar relations of
Kentucky to the non slaveholdiog Stales of
tho Border, tho Legislature of Kentucky, when
it assembles to day, should go iuto secret ses
sion, the people would instantly assume, and
assume correctly, that the act portended noth
ing less than absolute secession at any coat.
Thus assuming, what their action would he is
not open to doubt. On the instant, through
the valleys and over the mountains of Ken
tucky would fly the kiodliug*word that the Leg
islature had thrown down the gauntlet of rev
olution to the loyAl people of the Common
wealth. Aud he who thinks the loyal people
of the Commonwealth would not take up the
gage of battle thus insolently thrown at their
feet, and rush upon tbs Capital with a zeal
unmatched since the days of Cromwell and the
Long Parliament, knows less than nothing of
the spirit of Kentuckians. We very touch
fear there would presently be a second assent
bly in the annals of the world dispersed “for
the glory of God and the good of the nation.”
The Legislature of Kentucky, under all the
grave and pregnant circumstances of the hour,
cannot, in our deliberate opinion, go into se
cret session without inaugurating civil war at
tba Capital. Who is ready for this ? If any
member of the Legislature is so enamored of
secession as to he willing on behalf of his grim
inamorata to inaugurate the horrors of civil
war amongst our own people, let him stand
forth. We oannot believe the Legislature
contain* such a member. We, however, have
fell it ot r duty tossy at this time what we
earnestly believe to be 'he perils of the most
unwarrantable and tyrannous step in ques
tion.”

Alexandria.—Mr. G. E. Kirk is now in
our city, having been compelled to.leave bis
home in Washington under the following eir-
oumstance*:
On Sunday, about twelve o’clook, during
his terapoary absence from his dwelling, a file
of ten or twelve soldiers, followed by a large
and excited crowd, stopped at the door and
called for Mr. K, saying that they bad beta
detailed to arrest him. Mrs. K. and her fam
ily were naturally alarmed by euch n demon*
ctration, and a litUw daughter was almost
throwo into ipaems. Satisfying them that Mr.
K. was absent, sbe entreated them to with
draw for the liula git Is taka, which they final
ly did. When Mr. K. wae informed of what
had transpired, he waited on the Mayor nnd
made a statement. Tbs Mayor offered to pro
tect him to tbs power of tha paliot; but as
that nould avail nothing against the military
fores which now lorda it over Washington, Mr.
K. accompanied by the Mayer, waited on Gen
eral Scott, detailed to him whel had transpir
ed, nnd asked what he was to expect.
General 8cott expressed himself displeased
with the rude manner in whioh the arrest had
been attempted ; aud then inquired of Mr. K.
if there was any reason for his arrest. None,
said Mr. K. unless it be that I am a Southern
mao, and a member of lbs association of Na
tional Volunteers. That is enough, said Geo.
8. If you remain you will certainly be ar
rested. Mr. K. replied that, as Gao. Scott
wae aware tbs National Volunteers have left
Washington some time since, and that he (Mr.
K.) was in Washington prosecuting a legiti-
added
mate busiress as a quiet citizen. Ha
that he had not, however, oarne to ask favors,
but simply to be informed by wbat authority
the arrest had been attempted; and so betook
his leave of Gen. Soott and th* city. In the
oonverMiioa Gan. Scott said quite a number
of arreata had bean made by the military sines
11 o'clock that day.
