mn SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. ^AdS i‘ t ~m it -f i~ FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1861. An Agricultural Bimi. [CONCLUDID ] But some will say» “What iri we to do for iMih and Agricultural Report* f* We en» toll. Let every men who wants a Report, tend a dol lar to D. Redwood, Auguste, Georgia, aad gat the “ Southero Cultivator " a year. It will be worth far mere *e him than aaythiag he an* gat made up bf soma broken down politician I) the bead of a Government Burma. 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 Hen. i^JL T. Hunter.

He said ha hnd bean induced to appear be fore them for a few momenta, as a represents- with the noble sons of the Empire State of the 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 ns to avoid the rocks upon which the bsrk of 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. Lieut. Kelson Dead. This gentleman, who was wounded by the explosion on board the steamer Habersham, on Monday laat, below Savannah, died on Wed nesday morning. Osl. Grieve ie improving, and hopes of hie recovery are entertalawNP * 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 Informed of their gathering on our borders. Our own brave sons, were up in arras, going forth to meet them. As I came along, I met the South Carolina Regiment going forth to shed therr blood if need be in our defense. I also the gallant Georgia soldiers whieh have rallied to the defense of Portsmouth and Norfolk. As I passed through Lynchburg, I saw two splen did Regiment# of Alabama soldiers—on their 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 handkerchiefs, and threw their boquet But, as 1 said before, this is no time forspeak- ing. Events are rapidly hastening upon each other and upon us. Now is the lime for action The South is prepared and ready for it. When we have fought through this war—this unnat ural war which tba fiendishuess of Abolition 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 ishment, to take up her abode with us around our altars and our hearthstones—then we can speak to all the world and tell of our goodly heritage, our superior Government, the liber ties of our people, and the rich blessings we shall enjoy. But excuse me from saying anything fur ther. I am worn down, and almost exhausted, from the fatigues of travel; but I was unwil ling to pus through without saying something for our cause, when I heard that you, gallant Georgians, had assembled to bear a word from a Virginian. Ton believe, u we do in Virgin ia, that we are engaged in a common cause.— The rights of Virginia and tho South are Wa are embarked together in their defense.— In this cause we shall stand or fall.

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*.

TREAT. .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.” Judges and Clerks to open and hold Mid elec tion.

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.
