Emory on the alleged move- lit of Mr. Stephens and Dr Felton out tie Democratic camp, we tried an in flow on with him. This wise young Congressman heard us lough patiently, and then putting his |»d on one side, remarked quietly : Way up in my District there is a jiely adage which says : “ It is the still low that eats the slops!” I am a strong ^believer In these old savings!” And that is all we could get nut ot the Hon. Emory Speer, of the Ninth.” TOOMBS AS AN ORGANIZER. A little more than a week ago the At lanta Constitution, stated 1n effect that e n. Toombs had quit the Independents d given in his adhesion to the organized inocracy. We were inclined to doubt the correctness of the Constitution, but our worst forebodings' were realized when the following telegram from the doughty .General was read in Chicago to the aston- "iffhedOumber- ulitory banquet to ueneral Grant Atlanta, Ga.—M. E. Slone Editor: lour telegram received. I deline to an swer except to say. present my personal congratulations to Gen. Grant on his safe arrival to his country. He fought for his country honorably and won. I fought for mine and lost. I am ready to try it over again. Death to the Union. (Signed) R. Toombs.” The consternation produced by this ful- mination from this new apostle of organi zed democracy can be imagined. Such men as Stephens, Wade Hampton Gen. Longstreet, had sent their polite messages jf congratulation. The occasion was one festivity and rejoicing, when this grim loch, this spectre of Death and Devas- m uubiddeu stalked into the banquet ^1 am ready,” said the receut con- fight again. “ Death to the to > the organized much joy over [it We trust however, in the ) of the Constitution they i on the slack of bis Lhim oft.” We are not l’s record as a how, during the he put forth Millen o l the apt to incar- hr in the smoke Jo, a conductor effrontery of pral’s effort to he box cars, ing soldiery, [muse recorded right compa- ounds of ball ’ rations and pvost Guard jputfiomd- the Gen- up.

Its aim js the pro tection and advancement ot Agriculture in the United States, by practical methods such as periodical exhibitions of the pro ducts of the soil, in the principal cities of t he country, the encouragement of immi gration, the discussion of questions rela ting to Agricultilre and the commerce its products, and the collection and dis semination of the best agricultural thought and experience. The useful results that have been pro duced by the different state and county agricultural societies in America, and the beneficial effects of the Royal Agricultural Society ot England upon the Agriculture of Great Britain, show conclusively the ad vantages of organization, it is believed that the time lias come when, tor our own protection, gropfer attention must be given to the agricultural iuteiuate ot this country. The demands oi the future upon them will be far greater than the past, and new methods and new sytteulS must be devised and employed to meet them The yield of the laud now under cultiva tion must be increased, aDd new methods and new systems must be devised and employed to meet them. The yield of the land now under cultivation urn At bo in creased, and new fields prepared tor new wants. The drudgery ol the farm should be lessened, and the iarmer relieved from ,1>any of bis present burdens. Through the promulgation of new ideas and the employment of groa'-er lahor-aaviug ma chinery, his toil may bo lightened and his comtorts increased. The advantages of fered by this couutry to emigrants must be clearly and forcibly set forth, that our boundless acres may be ocoupied, our pro ducing capacity increased, and fpo hap piness and comfort t filled va£ed. Whilst giving prominence to the fact that our agriculture is the basis of all wealth, we recoguize this truth, that the interests of manufacturing, commerce, trade and transportation, are identical with that ot agriculture; and that the prosperity of one should lead to the best prosperity of all. Since all classes nre interested in the promotion of agriculture, the support and encouragement ot the' public at large are requested. Those who lavor the undertaking are requested to send their names and ad dresses to the Chairman of this Committee.
