Wabhtnotoh, August 8.—Lost night President Grant sent his Private Secreta ry to Commissioner Pleasanton, request ing his resignation. Pleasanton declined to resign, whereupon the President de termined to suspend him and appoint Douglas. The matter will probably lie consummated to-day. The papers ap pointing Douglas and suspending Pleas anton are in preparation. Charles Francis Adams has signified his aooeptance of the arbitratorehip under the Treaty of Washington. Grant has departed. Commissioner Pleasanton has been formally suspended, and Douglas appoint ed in his stead. The latter is in posses sion of the offloe to-day. The Money Order arrangement with Germany goes into effect October the 1st, 1872—the North German Lloyd’s compa ny requiring a year's notioo. The immediate causes assigned in offi cial circles for Pleasanton’s removal are that he has not oellected with effioieu- ey his reversal of the rulings of his pred ecessors, and making decisions, tho re sult of which was to needlessly lessen the Revenue, and acting upon importaut matters without consulting Boutwcll, wherein the latter had paramount au thority. Pleasanton's letter to the President i* as follows: Tbbasubv Dei-abtuknt, Office of Com. 1st. Rev. , August 8th, 1871 To the PrcMent: In answor to your request transmitted through Gen. Porter last evening, that I should tender my resignation of the oflice of Commissioner of Internal Rcvenne, I can only reply thr t under ordinary circumstances nothing would give me greater pleasure; but tho oause for making this request was stated by Gen. Perter to be tho difference exist ing between the Secretary of the Treas ury, Mr. Boutwell, and myself, as regards the government and management of tho Internal Revenue Bureau. Mr. Boutwefi claims powers which under the laws of Congress governing that bureau ore vest ed solely in the Commissioner. The question is, therefore, purely a legal one, and tho precedents of our Government have been to have such questions, when appealed to the President, rofci.ed to the law officer of the Government for his opin ion, and upon which the President would base his decision. This course was pur sued by Presidents Jackson, Tyler,Pierce, VanBuron, Fillmore and others, and hri been the uniform practico of the Govern ment. Knowing trine fact) and believing this to bo the proper way to settle sny differences of view rs regards tho law whigh might exist between S< cretary and tho Commissioner, I addressed you a communication some time since, making an appeal for yonr decision of tho powers of the Commissioner under the actof July 28th, 18C8, This appeal, as I understand it, is not to be entertained, but the sub- Th* Hmrnnn—h .IVfre I'mr-tltnler*. .Savannah, August 8.—Tho Sheriff's posse, who went out last night to arrest the negro excursionists whohad|taken pos session of two care on tho Savannah, Sea board A Skidaway Railroad, returned this morning.

London, August 8.—A dispatch from Dublin says tho city is quiet, but the ex citement of tho populace has not subsi ded. It is generally thought the sympa thisers with the Fenian piisonora havo not given up the idea of holding another meeting in spite of the prohibition by the authorities. The sentiment of a mi- ; ority of the people is in favor of grant- ng amnesty to nil Fenian prisoners, bnt violent opposition to the authorities is generally deprecated. The belief is, that tho Royal visit will be made tho opportu nity by the government for tho release of the imprisoned Fenians. The populace is very bitter against tho Prince of Wales, beoause he has not in terceded for tho amnesty. The whole police force is still on the alert, and the military that arc consigned to the barracks are notified to be ready to aid tho police, if called upon. Thus far, no deaths have been report ed, bnt five or ten persons it is thought will die of their injuries. Howe, the Su perintendent of the police, is in a very critical condition, bat hopes are enter tained of bis rroovery. It is uncertain whether*or not the Government ean legal ly prosecute Mr. Smyth, and other lead ers of the demonstration. TELEGRAMS. Hon. Thomas Sparrow died of lockjaw, at Columbus, Ohio, to-day.

Rohe, Geobola, Aug. 8.—Tho special train from Atlanta, bearing tho delegates to the Agricultural Convention, arrived here safely a littlo after 11 o’clock. The Convention met at 3 o'clock, and was the largest body ever assembled in Rome. Three hundred dolcgatos were present Hon. A. H. Colquitt woe in the Chair. In his opening address ho impressed npon farmers the importance of conoid ering themselves permanently located upon thoir farms, to improvo them as a patrimony to their children. They must abandou the idoa of selling ont to enter other business which was hazardous and led to bankruptcy. Instead of seoing the barns and fenoes in the county going to deoay while their owners rro wailing for an opportunity to sell out to cDgago in other business, he hoped to see the far mers making permanent improvements, resolving to make Georgia their homes for life, and looking to tho earth for a sup- fort for tlioir families. He recommended that farmers keep out of dfft. If ho had a prayer to offer ho said itBrould bo that the farmers of Georgia keep out of debt Ho reeommendod the people go slow— not to make too much progress without considering its results. Ho also recom mended harmony in the deliberations of the Convention. Hon. Sam. Barnett, the agricultural missionary, mado his report and spoke encouragingly of the advancement being made in agricultural interests. He was voted the thanks of the Convention. Mr. Newman, of Sparta, opened a die- oussiou on home-made fertilizers. He reoommonded stable manure and turning under green crops of peas, clover and lucerne. Hon. Mark A. Cooper continued the subject, advocating stablo manures. The following poem was read by Capt. B. T. True, of Morgan oonnty: HOME AGRICULTURAL CONVEN- TlOlf OPENING POEM. Splendid the secuc, the day sublime, To meot at Agrlcultnro's shrine. The heros of ths plow and flail. fk-ivttab' fortress now assail. And most to buckle on the armor Of the new progressive farmer; We greet you Knights!—yo sous of toll! As tillers of a bounteous soil, And hero upon thle festal day With chargers ready for the fray. We’ll fight for progress in our calling, Though fogy notions loud aro bawling For us to koep the beaten track Of our grand-sires a oeutury back. But no I the order is advanco, And with tho roat we’ll take our chance, To scale tho heights and to explore Tho mysteries of Scikntas loro, To analyze the soil and tell What is to pay, what has befell Our fruitful acros, aud the means to save Them from a most untimely grave. If now wo make a change of base, Wo’re sure to win the lengthened raco, And rise %riumphant o’er onr spoils Of richer lands, more fruitful soils ; Of gangers filled with com aud graiu, And lardy Berkshire to bo slain; Of mules aud horses raised with care, All slook and flat from extra fare. Legions are ready for the fray, If wo in earnest lead the way. ’Tie not enough to talk and plan, And thou in doubt the projoct scan, But like true tillers of tho soil Lay hold the implements of toll. And if we “by tho plow would tbrive,” Why? “oither hold the plow or drive.” Though worn the soil by floroest contests waged. It is not dead, though “scooters” were engaged To take Its life, and niggers thrown into tho scale. The two combined did not avail To rob "God'aland of sunshine” of its lifo, And so this favorod dime is master in the strifo. It lives to tell oar follies in tbe past, It lives to teach us wisdom to the last, It livea with all Its glory unalloyed. It lives because it cannot be destroyed, It livoa for ’tia the garden of our land, It lives and shinoa like jewels in the sand, It livea, and with a climate rare, This ia the basis of the Joys wt share. Wo must admit the soil Is somewhat ailing, But It Is truth thoro is no other failing, No drawbacks that cannot bo changed, And do extremes of heat and cold vot'd* like arrayed, Forests of pine, tbe best in all the land, And mines that sparkle with their golden strand. Rivers still wild are rushing In their glcu To most th* waters of the " dark blue aca.” Industry seems doad; ye workers to tho strife, And )>retlo change—revives the lagging pulse of life. Rip deep the soil—the forests hIs/, And dam the rivors from their spendthrift way. Creations then will rise, and live, and shine, And pay their treasure 1 gifts to lIsmmou'H shrine. Onr sunny Southland thou can boast That in herself sho is an host. Why do we tarry In this noble work ? Why do our brothers from their duty shirk, When to every mind 'tie plain That better Ullage is the only source of gain ? That fower acres, nicely fixed and neat, Will the large •• ram-shacked " plantations beat. Wb<-u will wc learu the true nature of the strife, And raise oursclvoa the necessaries of life ? The story old of telling what to do, a Let us resolve the new course to pursue. Now mind I we're talking here together, And this is about the way wc reason—as to whether We can convince kind neighbor A To do exactly as we say. If so, ws may as well plant cotton. (When we reach home the new resolve's for gotten.) If others plant tho oorn and sow the grain, A larger cotton crop will be our gain. Thus madly go tho throng and try to shirk The toils and trials of a change in work. But change wo must, and if we hear to reason This chaugc, methiuka, will come in aaaaoo To ssvs our nobis State and to reclaim Bar barren acres and her ancles t fame. This ia onr duty, this my saersd theme, Nobler and grander than tho dreamer's dream.” It calls to action and to honeet toil The brain as well as muscle—for tho soil, ITjtou the latter has been fed, Until our “ Farmer Fogy” calls it dead. But I have done this grumbling strdu; To k ck agrinst the brlcka is vain. 80 1 will soar on lofty piuiou To look down on the new dominion. Remember that, Van Winkle like, My senses havo been on a strike, And I have slept for twenty years. Lo I what strange sight to me appears I The fields are swept of sedge and pine— Tho gullies A Uw I. the fences lino; Tho waving grain, tho golden ear. On every hand does appear. Tho cabin's gone —tho cottage f'Is Its ancient sits on all our hllli The stoam plow brooks the generous soil, And queer machine# perform aud toil. Th* husbandman reclines at ease, For all a ound ho plenty sees. An Agricultural College. Through the favor of Mr. G. AV. Iliukle, Assistant Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, we are permitted to lay before our readers tho following letter, written to him by Mr. B. F. Miller, a prominent farmer in Pennsylvania, who was, at tho time of writing the letter, at. Am herst, in Massachusetts. Thu letter gives some of the plans aud workings of tho State Agricul tural College at Amherst, the details of which aro very interesting, indeed. Mr. Hinkle has taken much active interest on the subject of an Agricul tural College, as well as agriculture generally, and has been active in the collection and dissemination of useful agricultural statistics, and is enthusi astic upon the subject of scientMlc agriculture: Amherst, Mass., July 20, 1871. it. w. fftlikb, Abq., AilanUi Oa: Dear Sir—From u long interview I hold a short time ago with you on tho subject of ag ricultural education, and your groat de sire to sea an agricultural collego estab lished in Uoorgia, I tbonght whilst on a visit to this place, I might give yon some information ns to tho workings of Am herst Agricultural College. This college has bcou open to students for four years. Its friends claim that it is a grand Bnceess. Tho farm contains 385 acres, with vari ous buildings, consisting of two dormi tories, a chapel, two boarding houses, a plant house and museum, a fa a house; and several barns, aro situatod a milo from tho village, on the road to North Amherst. The total value of the oollege real es tate is two hundred thousand dollars; the valne of tho stock, implements and pro- duoe at the commencement of this year is 815,000. The Legislature at tho last session vo ted the Collego 8160,000—and it now has a cash fund of a quarter of a million and as much more invested in good securities. Massachusetts is making a great offori. to give her farmer boys a good prof, sional agricultural education, in the hopo of keeping most of them within bar har den, to multiply her ploasant places, so that the broad prarios of tho northwest shall not draw her sons away. ' The Collego is in chnrgo of a Board of Trustees elected by tho Legislature, and tho Board of Overseers is tho State Board of Agriculture. W. S. Clark is President and Prefessoi of Botany and Horticulture. Ho is as sisted by six resident Professors in Agri culture, Modem Languages, Chemistry, Mathematics and Form Engineering. Military sciences and tactics, and mental, morel and social sciences are taught Several members of tho Amherst Fac ulty givo instruction in elocution, En glish literature, Ac., and eminont gen tlemen from abroad lecture upon various departments of agricultural scionco. Tho aim is to give a thorough educa tion in all the branches of farming and sufficient general knowledge to enable the farmer to take that position in the < ommunity to which he is entitled- fitted alike for farm aud Sonato, liko the Cin- ciunatus of Roman times, Tho farm presents a most beautiful ap- pearnneo. While I was there an inspection of the farm and buildings took placo by tho mombers of the Board of Agriculture. There are at present eight or ten acros of oats, twenty of millot, sixteen of com, threo of potatoes, ono of fodder com, one of turnips, two of garden vegetables, and fivo of sugar beets, under cultivation on tho farm. Much attention is being paid to tbe raising of beets, from tbe fact that man- ufroturing sugar from them, is so ex tensively and successfully dono in Europo. A report on this subject was mado to tho Legislature last winter by the Trus tees; and it is proposed to erect a refinery soon, bo that very careful experiments can be made in this now branch of Amer ican industry. There has boon during tho year one hundred and fifty-seven students in collego, divided into four regular classes, and ono class of speciul course men.— Students havo been subject to military drill under a United States military offi cer. Experiments and improvements are being constantly made. A fine collection of stock is kopt on the farm, which, it is hoped, will do much to improve the neighboring cattle. This inoluilcs Shorthorns, Devens, Ayrshire**, Jerseys, Southdown Hhoep, Suffolk, and Chester swine. Now, the question is, will these stu dents become practical farmers'/ After four years of study will they bo williug to go to work in good earnest? This is a question whicli time alone can aolvo. At present, ull students are required to work on the farm six hours every week. All who desire, are allowed to work as many extra hours as they chooso, provided they keep up to tho required standing in stu- d J’ For this labor they are paid. Hoping that you may realize your fond est expectations in regard to this import aut subject—that the Legislature may liberally endow such institutions so that Georgia, tho Empire State of tho South, may indeed bo called such in troth, when sho promotes within her borders the moans that educate and make useful cit izens of her sons. I remain vory truly, yours, B. T. Mills s. KENTUCKY TRIUMPHANTLY DEMO CRATIC. Tin- New Departars Thrust Overboard All the Democratic Caadldator Elected to tho Leglilataro. The death knell of New Departarism, alias Radicalism—has been sonnded in Kentucky. It will be seen by reference to our dispatches that the Democratic candidates are all elected by an over whelming majority. These all went into the own voas under the old Democratic flog, standing squarely npon the old time-honored principles of) the party, and all, from the highest to the lowest, nnequivoonlly condemning and soornfnlly repudiating the “New Departure” theory, as tho embodiment of Radicalism. Thus it will be with the Demooniio party in a majority of the States of the Union, if it shall boldly plant its ban ners upon tho ramparts of troth and and proclaim oleml hostility to all in novations upon or departures from the doctriuos of Thomas Jofferson. ■6k- Tho New York Tribun* attempts to explain, “What wo are fighting for.” The public knows well enough that it and its party are fighting for what little money there is left in the National Treasury.

According to the last monthly re port of tho*iiureau of Statistics, the imports into the United States, spe cie jnclnded, daring the month of April, amounted to *50,660,000. The corresponding month of last year tho imports were $48,460,000—showing a gain of $2,200,000. The entire ex ports for the whole conntry in April reached $51,000,000, being a gain of $10,400,000 over last year. For tho ten months ending April 30, the im ports and exports combined are in advanco of the same period last’year, $120,000,000—which, at a similar rate of increase, would give $152,000,000 for the whole twelve-month. Exam ining more closely, wo find that tho imports have increased $53,000,000, ana the exports $73,300,000—the lat ter, however, being reinftreed by $32,- 000,000 specie. We have imported in merchandise $61,000,000 more than lost year, and exported $41,000,000 more; bpt although the imports have thus gained on the exports in tho exports in the neighborhood of $10,- 000,000, tho latter are increased by the movement of specie alluded to. Taking the first tun months of the fiscal year 18C9-”70, and we discover that tho imports exoeededthe exports . by about $7,000,000, while tho sanio months in the fiscal year just ended, give $13,000,000 exports over the im ports—whioh iff evidence that the lalanoe of trade is more in our favor than heretofore.
