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 flict with Commencement st Athens? With higlust regards, I remain your friend. MAltK A. COOPER GEOACIA NEWS. COTTON CROP NEWS. .

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 .

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.

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.

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.
