With dbiraond-iiolntod pon, that ceaseless glides,
Leaving unnoted deed, nor word, nor look;
Ho, lu Its onward course, the passing year

Nor, in its haste, forgotten sigh or tear,
Or grief of weOry souls, or groan or strife.
And now, its checkered page Is well-nigh writ;
Aud soon the record, with its blots and stains,
Thut mark our sins; and brighter gleams, more lit
To note the deeds where butter couuikil reigns;
This record soon will end 1 Another page,
Spotless and froali, will open to'receive
Like transcript, from auotber luinile age,
Which twelve succeeding mouths, iu turn, shall give.
Gaily time-serving mortals now prepare
Their glad adleux, to "speed the parting" year;
Ungrutuful, since no longer they may share

And, with devices so rare, they’ll welcome lu

But why thus linger o’er the year's decay.
When Hwilt-upproucliing seeuca our interest claim ?
As justly might we mourn each Hying day,
When we behold her god's departing beam.
For, like the glowing lightH of sunset skies,
Come Christinas joys, shedding a mellow glow,
Over tlio saddening gloom that ever lies
Where shade succeeds to brightucHS hero below.

Mumble length, they thought bent not to

therefore, begged further time before making

ard addressed the Convention un IoIIowh:
There will meet in thin bull, thin day by ap
pointment, three bodies other than tho ono now
assembled. They are each u separate organiza
tion, but working ostensibly to tin same end.
I consider it of great importance that these Con
ventions be united. I think too that there is a
like wish prevailing the members o' .lie oilier
bodies, and I therefore move the appointment oi
Committee of five to meet such committees us
may be appointed by the other Conventions.—
The motion was carried and the following gen-
Mncn wereappoiulud ns the Committee:
Mr. Howard of Bartow; Mr. True, of Morgan;
Mr. Hutton, of Macon; Mr. Stacy of Fulton; and
Mr. Thomas, of Baldwin.
An invitation having been received from the
officers of other Conventions that the members
of tlio Farmers' Convention meet with them,
the chairman announced the same, and request
ed that all members accept 1 he invitation.
Tlio hour (10 o’clock) having arrived for the

AGRICULTURAL AND MANUFACTURING ASSOCIATION.
On the adjournment of tin* Farmer's Conven
tion, pursuant lo the rail of the Fivsident, tho
Agricultural and Manufacturing Association of
tho titute of Georgia organized by falling it«
President Hon. Ben. C. Yaneey to tho Chair.
The Chair then announced that the Secretary of
the Association was absent, and asked a Secre
tary pro tcm. to be appointed.
Sieved by Mr. Nisbet, that, whereas, a com
bination ol tho Conventions i« pending tho ac
tion of to-day:
Jiesolrcd, That Mr. Samuel N. Echols, .Seen- . _ .
tary of tho Farmers' Convention, be requested j l', m y aid
to act as Secretary pro tern, for this Association.
Tho Chairman briefly addressed himself lo the
Association, recounting its history from .its first
organization. He had cherished the objects of
the Association, and striven to advance them.--
It met in 1800, and was to meet again in 1807.-
wlien the time appointed for its meeting arrived
the public mind was iu a state of unrest, to an
extent that rendered a call for the meeting
practicable. He had postp«
association until the present time. And her
gentlemen, (addressing tho assembly,) I am
gratified I am gratified to meet three other as
sociations, evidently with the same object in
view- the promotion of the agricultural and
manufacturing interest of our State- J am glut
ilied to know that there are so lhany mov
of the kind. It is a clear manifestation of u liv
ly interest ill tho minds of our people. I wai
the good spirit to march oil. developing the re- I /1 '"
Hources of our land from the seaboard to the j t» 1L ‘ J
mountains. For the more successful accom
plishing of these ends iu view, I advocate u un
ion of these different organizations, and l an
nounce for this association tlint it is ready to
meet the others on a common platform, lor the
purpose of effecting this union.
Dr. It. D. Moore, ol‘Clarke, county, moved the
appointment of a committee that lie was inform
ed had been appointed by the Chairman of the
Farmers’ Convention, and the Committees from

tries to make up the lost three by sleeping about
one hour longer than usual the next night. Or
