Below we five a most interesting let
ter from Hon. Hark A Cooper, giving
tb* origin of the idee that gave birth to
the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
together with a graphio sketch of its his
tory op to tbe present time.
Aa apropos to this subject we may state
fcHnt there have been bat thirteen life
members of the Society, all told. We
name them in the order of their selec
tion: Mask A Cooper, Thomas Stocks,
John W. Graves,* William Terrell,* Da
vid W. Lewis, George M. Troup,* Wm.
C. Daniel** William M. D’Autiguac,*
Benjamin H. Warren,* J* M. Davidson,*
John S. Thomas, Richard Peters and P.
M. Nightingale. Those marked with an
* are ail dead, which leaves but six sur
vivors of those who have been honored
with life memberships iu the Society.
Here is Mr. Cooper's letter:
Glxn Holly, Qa., Judo 10, 1371.
Hon.. D. W. Lewis, StxrsUtry Gsorqvt
8t*4« Agricultural Society—DzAhHlB: Your
efcter of the 21st alt. was duly received.
I cannot, from memory, give von the pre
cise date at which I wm chosen Presi
dent of the. Society. Maj. Thos. Stocks
ass elected at my instance at our organi
sation at Stone Mountain. He was the
tirst President. He served, and was re
elected from year to year,until tbe Socie
ty moved to Atlanta. I succeeded him,
and was chosen when he declined a re-
election. Thig, according to my recollec
tion, wus at the close of the firnt semion
at Atlauta. Yon have the date of that
meeting. I continued to serve by re-
election until tbe year we moved to Ma-
oon. At the dose of that session I de
clined a re-election. This was the year
that Gov. Tronp presented the Society
with a flock of sheep. At thi* session
Gov. Troup and myself were elected life
meiuU're of the Society. From these
dates you can probably make your record.
This Bociety, now known in all the
States, known and felt throughout Geor
gia, and cherished bv the people, to
whom its lieuefits are habitually distrib
uted, was iu its origin the result of
chauoe or accident.
Alter the Georgia Railroad hod reach
ed itH terminus, a house for a hotel
was built at Stone Mountain, and Mr.
Graves,from Newton county, noted for his
hospitality and good cheer, moved up
and occupied it It happeued at this
time I passed by and stopped with him.
In conversation, he wished to make the
place promiuent os a summer resort. He
asked me how he could manage to gather
a good company the next summer. H«*
also requested me to aid him. My fumy
for tbe locality and my liking for Mr.
Graves prompted a ready promise to aid
him. 1 was then engnged in the
business aud running a good flouring
mill at Etowah. I told him that in at
tempting to build up his place and bene
fit him we might do much good for the
country. I suggested the formation of a
State Agricultural Society. It was much
needed, and that was the place to organ
ire it and then the time. My object wai
to get the planters of Middlo Georgii
and southern Georgia and the grain
glowers and stock-raising farmers of
Cherokee, Georgia, together annually in
conferenoe with each other, that they
might see and know bow they were iden
tified and interested to cherish each oth
er; that they might also foster the inter
est of manufactures necessarily associated
with them. I particularly wwhed to see
the growth of wheat and grapes promo
ted.
There was no one present but Mr.
Graves and myself. I had not conferred
with anv one before. He bad not thought
of it before, but caught at i tas the move
for him, and brightening at it, asked
me how we oould start and get the peo
ple together. I told him that I would*
prepare a call through tbe papers that
would brinff very many good men there,
if he would have it published. He said
that he would. We both kept our pledge.
The result was the gathering at the Stone
Mountain. Tbe Society was formed and
organised. Your services were put in
requisition. * * * One of the hap
piest events of my life was that which
called us habitually for so long a period
iuto such a close communion on tne in
teresting topics. In drafting the coll for
a meeting it was agreed between us that
at all times and by all means, )>olitic3
and statesmanship be kept out I told
Mr. Graves that people would come iu
crowns to hear public speaking. I took
ti»e liberty to name several distinguished
gentlemen who might be expected to be
present* The call was published, and if
you will examine tbe old tiles at Milledge
ville, Macon, Augusta and Athena, you
will flud it In organising, the Chairman
appointed a oommitteo to draft a consti
tution, with my name on it. This com
mittee met and requested me to draft a
constitution. I did so. They adopted
it, reported it, and it was adopted after
amending it so as to change the
name from “Georgia State Agricultural
Society” to that of “ Southern
Central Agricultural Association.”—
This was done by motion of
Col. James A. Whitesides, of Tennes
see, who said there were gentlemen there
from Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee.
He was from Tennessee, and wished to
join the Association. The motiou was
received and unanimously adopted.
I have thus given you a portion of the
unwritten history of tbe origin of the so
ciety. I am the ouly man living to whorn
these facts are personally known; there
fore I have written
In regard to the photograph which you
make the occasion of so many agreeable
and pleasant reminesccuoea, if it can
serve to add to your gratification a pious
arable emotiou or stimulate others to fol
low your worthy example of high-ton d
feeling and devotional public spirit, 1
will be content to have you appropriuU
it as you propose. Unless prevented by
unavoidable causes, I will be at tlie meet
ing in August at Rome. I sec it is ap
pointed for 8th August Will that con

With higlust regards, I remain your
friend.

On last Saturday evening, at Plauc-

with malice aforethought, discharged
the contents of a rille gun at Joint
Turner, a mechanic, while he was
sitting unsuspecting in a car in whicii
he was staying, having quit his work
on the new depot being there erected.
The ball broke his right forearm just
below the elbow and in dangerous
proximity to she heart, inflicting a
sore cut almut the left breast. Bur
nett escaped, hut his whereabouts is

Mr. S. II. Ashbury, of Cave Springs,
informs tis that not long since his
cat, having lost all her kittens but
one, he happened to catch a young
rabbit about the size of the remaining
kitten, aud gave it alive to the cat for
food. But tlie eat, instead of killing
the ralillit., carried it to her nest,
fondled it with maternal affection, and
it was soon sucking her like ouc of
ta r own kittens. The kitten and
rabbit grew up together like brother
and sister, until u horrid dog killed
the adopted pet of that happy family.

A prominent aud influential citizen
of Cherokee county, writes a business
letter to the editor and concludes with
these remarks:
“We are all excitement here for the
Marietta aud North Georgia Railroad
getting terribly in earnest; we are
going to have a good old fashioned
Barbecue and Railroad Meeting
the fouth of July. Now is the time
to work. We must have the road;
we can have it, and we are going to
help build it, and to this end we will
sow with a liberal hand. It is the
road of onr choice—we want to be
linked to Marietta by the iron rail.—
There are many reasons why we
liould not lie separated—many whv
ve should unite. I hope we will
show our appreciation of your excel
lent paper by an increased list of sub
scribers. 4c., for tbe bold and manly

Butler Picked Up.
The follow ing good story and true,
alwut Ben. Butler lias, we believe,
ver before lioeii published:
Dr. Colt man, who was a resident
of New Orleans during the war times
and who had signed the original ordi
nance of secession, after having
fought it with all his might in the
Convention, liethouglit lum of run
ning for Congress during Ute reign of
Butler. The Massachusetts warrior,
however, heard of Cottmau's aspira
tions, and sent for him, when the
following dialogue occurred:
Unth r—" Doctor, 1 hear you think
of running for Congress.”
Doctor—•• You have been correctly
informed, General.”
Buttler (with an air of severity)—
“Why. how can you run for Congress,
sir, when you signed the ordinance of
secession ;”
Doctor—" IVby, you see, General,
1 did sign the ordinance, but only as
a witness.”
Butler (very red in the face and
very angry)—"Aa a witness, sir.—
Look a' (hat . (suddenly unrolling a p or k m t diminution ot the yield may take
copy ol tin- seye-oiou ordinance.— (place. The com crop is promising, and
“1/iok at your sigliature there, sir! as , tn nm plo supply of this valuable articlo
plain unit hold ns tliul of John Ran- of food is hoped for.— Charleston Cou-
dolpb's to the Declination of lude
poiidence.”
Doctor (calm, hut a spice of sar
casm iu his voice)—• Really, General.
I never knew before that John llan-
dolp signed the Declaration of Inde-
peudenco.”
Butler (suddenly chapfallen, hut
still vary mad)—"John Hancock. I
meant, sir! John Hancock! But its
all the same tiling, sir; all the sumo
thing!”
It is scarcely necessary to add that
Dr. Colt mini did not run tor Con
gress.—[New Orleans Picayune.

Oar friends from the country continue
to rejiort tbs prospect for a large corn
crop as never more promising. Farmers
are busily at work slaying grass and put-
ring their farms in good condition.—
Wheat is being rapidly harvested, and
on many plantations is turning out much
better than was expoctod. No doubts
iro entertained now, but that plenty will
be made to supply tho reasonable de
mands of the people and some to spare.
Oats are also undergoing the pressure of
the sickle, with a much huger yield than
oould reasonably have been expected u
month ago. It is thought, everything
onsidered, a fair average crop will bo
made in this section. Cotton oontinnes
to the grass, with little promise, of much
o itcome, unless immediate relief oan lie
h id from the frequent heavy rains, and
u general cleansing, together with the
genial rays of a summer's sun, which is so
essential to tbe growth of the staple.
The peach crop which is now being
gathered in Georgia and South Carolina
is not only a large ouc, but a forward and
healthy one. Columbus, Georgia, and
Aiken, South Carolina, are large ship
ping points; at the latter place thousands
of crates are already en route to New
York, where a sound bushel of peaches
readily brings ten dollars. More than
one thousand crates were shipped ou
Friday (16th,) and double that quantity
wore forwarded Tuesday (20th iust.,) from
Aiken and vicinity. And this reminds
as that the valuable property, advertised
in another column, will soon be distribu
ted to share-holders. Mr. Derby reserves
sixty acres for a permanent residenctx

The wheat in this county has fallen
short from one to two thirds of an aver
age crop, at a rongh guess we would say
that from two to four bushels will be
about the quantity per acre. Too much
rain is thought by the farmers to bo tho
cause, bringing on rust which will cause
the small amount made to bo made quito
inferior. The oat crop is also materially
injured from some cause, falling down
and otherwise proving a failure that is
serious. From what we can learn of tho
farmers, that some crops of cotton are
now past redemption, owing to the con
tinued rains, and their present grassy
condition, which will ovideuly make tho
next crop of this staple an exceedingly
short one. Tho corn crop will sailer
uow very Boon, shoald the rains continue.
But should the rains cease to come as
they have been, and come at the time aud
ia quantities suitable for corn, with tho
present start of this crop we predict on
abundant yield of this cereaL—Chatta
nooga Advertiser.
The New Orleans Picayuno of Sunday
takes tho following glowing view of the
cotton crop prospects:
While the report of tho Agricultural
Bureau makes due allowance for the ab
solute reduction in the acreage put un
der cotton this year, eflough stress is not
laid upon tho loss to result from a poor
stand. The cotton that is up and alive,
uo matter how sickly, may grow and
yield, but where the stand is poor, the
number of plants is small, and tho yield
must be below the average, lio matter
how the weather may be henceforth.—
That the stand over nearly the whole cot
ton belt is nnpreecdentlv poor is a well
attested fact, and this deficiency in the
stand ia equal to a further reduction iu
the acreage of fully five or six per ccut.,
or 400,000 aoree. Iu short, tho prospects
do not warrant the expectation of much
over 3,000,000 bales even with a fair sea
son from this time on.
Advices concerning tho cotton crop are
still very discouraging. Runs are fre
quent, and the grass has the advantage
ovor nearly the whole valley of the Mis
sissippi, Many of our factors console
themselves with the reflection that better
weather later on will insure a good crop,
hut it seems to ns the youug plants are
uow lieiug injured beyond reeovory.—N.
0. Picayuno.
Tho information from tho interior in
reference to tho growing oottou crop has
becu variable: aud in mauy aeotions there
has boon too much rain, tho grass being
troublesome, and the pluut iu uu unsatis
factory condition; while iu others tho
weather has been genial, and the crop is
progressing favorably. The reports up to
ttiis rime indicate that, in large portions
of the cotton belt the season has been
such as to induce the belief that au im-
Thc crop prospect on the prairies of
Mississippi was never more discouraging
than at present. Excessive rains, cold
nigbta, gran and lioe have all contributed
to a very sorry situation.—Memphis Ava
lanche.
Accounts from the interior are still
gloomy, the crops being badly in tho
grass, and in some localities almost be
yond redemption.—Mobile Register.
