interest to the agricultural comm unity.” Adopt
Messrs. Furlow, of Sumter, Miller, of Rich-
mold, FnmWo, of Upson, Peters, of Fnlton,
Hamilton, of Qolumbta, Smith, of Hancock, and
Schley, of Richmond, appointed. Col. Howard,
of Fnlton, was also added, and the Committee
were required to report at 5 o'clock, P. M.
(5ol. Howard. Mr. Schley and the President
made remarks, urging the members of the Com
mittee to use their utmost endeavors to increase
tbe circulation of the SoutJum CttUivmfr. The
President gave some interesting items of tbe
history of the journal and the Society.
Mr. 8mith. of Hancock, offered the following .
Rf.iotved, That a prise worth $25 be awarded
the person who, at tbe next Annual Meeting,
will send up the largest list of Subscribers to
the Cultivator. Adopted unanimously.
Col. Howard, of Fulton, offered the following,
which was unanimously acopted:
“ Resolved, That the Society deeply sympa
thising with the universal patriotic feeling and
purpose of the people, and desiring to contrib
ute all in its power to advance the success of
our struggle for independence, hereby offers to
the State its Tent Cloths lor the use of our sol
diery, and every dollar in our Treasury for the
promotion of our glorious cause.” Unanimous
ly adopted.
Mr. Collier offered an amendment to the fore-
going-—•• That the silver ware and other avail
able resources of the Society be turned Into
money and tendered to the Government for the
pUrpoaes therein set forth”—which was unani
mously adopted.
The PreaMeat appointed Mr. Markham, Col.
Collier and Mr. Robertson a Committee to ex
amine the Treasurer's Report, and report to the
meeting at 5 o’clock. v
The President then announced his positive
determination not to serve an^longer than the
next Annual Meeting iu his present official ca
pacity—alter which the Committee adjourned
till 5 o'clock.
5 O’clock.
The Committee met according*to adjourn
ment.
The Committee appointed to prepare an ad
dress to the people of Georgia, presented one,
which was unanimously adopted. We shall
publish it in our next issue.
The Committee appointed to examine into
the accounts of the Treasurer, reported that,that
officer had received the sum o 1 $4,075.00; and
had paid out $.1.6*8.15, leaving a balance in his
handstif $367.54, The report was received and
adopted.
The Rev. C. W. Howard called attention to
the fact that in the organization of our Govern
ment, it has been contemplated to onut the De
partment of Agriculture, which he regretted.
He desired to have the Committee present a
memorial to our Government, in the name of
the Agricultural Society of the State of Geor
gia, to create such a Department, as equally
aa important as the War, Navy or Treasury
Departments. In the commencement of our
career, we shonld have our Government estab
lished upon principles, and reoeive that direc
tion which Is most essential to our welfare, and
in uuison with our pursuits. Wc are essential
ly an agricultural people.
Col. Howard thought a movement in this di
rection would be inopportune and premature.
The Bureau, as connected with the Govern
ment at Washington, was justly a stench in the
nostrils of all good inen—under Yankee pid
dling control and a nuisance. He believed
snch a Government Bureau a good thing, if .prop
erly managed, but the prejudice that now exists
•gainst it in the South would be hard to eradi
cate. It would reqiure the greatest efforts o
the best men In. the South, at a time whan the
country whs at peace, to get Congress to estab
lish such a Bureau.
Mr. Schley differed from Col. Howard. We
are essentially an agricultural people—the North
s mechanical; and it would surely he a move no w
in the right direction for our Society to memori
alize Congress to establish a Bureau of ibis kind.
Our lands are worn out and devastated by bad
cnltura. We must reclaim them,and tothissnd
every advantage of science, every appliance
and assistance must be used. Our poverty-
stricken hills must be resuscitated, or wp will
lose our weslthand population. We cannot be
gin this work too soon.
Rev. Mr. Howard theo moved the following,
which was unanimously adopted :
* Renolvrtl, That this Society will memorialize
tbe Congress of the Confederate States to or
ganize an Agricultural Bureau at as early a
period aa in their judgment the interests of
these Stales will allow.
RtaolvtH, That a Committee of five be ap
pointed by the President to carry the foregoing
into effect.
Mr. Howard further remarked that iu tbs old
Union, we were not homogenous. Our views
and interests clashed. Now it is not so. We
have one great interest in which every body *1
deeply concerned, and which overrides all olh-
era; that is agriculture. The government
should recognise and encourage this interest in
every possible way for it Interfered with no
man's pursuits or Interests among ns.
Tbe President will hereafter announce the
Committee through the public press.

Atlanta, April 30, 1861.
Produce is moving rapidly at advanced rates.
Bacon sells freely at 11 nts. for Shoulder*, 13
for Hams and 14 for Ciear Sides. Prices tend
ing upward.
Corn ia lively at from 92@98, aa per quality
and quantity.
Flour is moving with more activity than
uaual, and large sales were made yesterday at
$6.90, $7.80 and $8.10.
Lard ia firm at from 13(& 131.
We received no Western news Yesterday,
but see from freight lista that goods are still
coming through. Tbe boats are not seised
unless contraband article* are on board- such
as arms, powder, Ac. The blockade will prove
a failure, as it ia to the interest of the parties
to keep communication open, and when inter
est is weighed in the scale of patriotism in that
section, it is not difficult to see which prepon
derates.
Bales of Dry Goods are confined to leading
staple articles. Nearly all the goods now in
market, were purchased and shipped before
the tariff went into effect; end next season
goods will be Imported direct, consequently
prices cannot be any higher, hut every indica
tion is that they will be lower.
Tbe new tariff law will, no doubt, pass at an
eurly day of the Congress, and the difference
ie great in favor of Southern porte. So much
disfavor hrs the Morrill Tariff been received
with that all European powers have deelared
their intention to go where tbe beet induce
ment# are offered, and plainly pointed to the
Confederate 8 tales as the market tor their goods
—necessarily all Southern ports become great
distributing points, and will occupy tbe posi
tion that New York, Boston and other North
ern oitiee hare heretofore held.
