Hou. W. A. Huff, Mayor of Macon, and
Col. Robert Baugh. Tho latter three

Visit of the Youug Christians to
the President.
The Younp Men’s Christian Associa
tion have quite taken uossession of Wash
ington. On Thursday evening they
marched in procession to tho White
House and called upon the President.—
Including a few citizens who had heard
of the intended reception, and a number
of strangers who accompanied tho seven
hundred delegates, there were upwards
... -ifo
of a thousand persons present The pro-
hi
ssion was over two hours entering the
White House. Some of the delegates
sang as they came up the street and
marched up to the entrance of the Ex
ecutive Mansion. The “Star-spangled
Banner" was sung while the line was in
motion, aud also ncveral hymns. This
rather astonish»-d quiet Washington.—
Mrs. Graut, Mias Nellie, Judge aud Mrs.
Dent, and two or three gentlemen stood
near the President ui the head of the
East Room, but did not assist in the re
ception. The Hue of visitors seemed in
terminable, aud much sympathy was ex
pressed for the President’s fatigue, but
it was noticeable that this sympathy was
confined to those who had already shaken
his hand, and was not understood by
thoae whoso turn had not yet come.—
After the prusoutatioM were over a “few
remarks" were mud*', and “Praise God,
from whom ail i»UM,iug* How," were *uug,
aud well sung. too. ll was thrilling to
hear so many voices joining iu “Old
Hundred," and singing with a will. One
verse of another him was suug, aud Gen.
per oent. It la iu>t
before ua to estimate tho
early period of the season.

Tho following tabular statement from tho Econo

The Plantation ot last week has the following in
reference to the next semi-annual State Agricultural
Convention:
The last session of the Georgis State Agricultural
Convention resolved to hold the tail or autum ses
sion ln Rome, leaving to the di-u-retiou of the Presi
dent the appointment of the day. At the recent
session of thu special committee on the premium
list, the President, upon consultation with the com
mittee, fixed the day of the meeting ou Tuesday, the
8th of August The Becreiary informs us that he
has had an Interview with Governor Brown upon
the subject of the passage of the delegates over the
Stats road. Heretofore, the conventions meeting
iu either Atlanta or Macon have distributed the
tbe roads; but the meeting being iu f
_ over the Western k Atlantic rood and the
Rome branch of all the delegates. This heavy draw
•on tbe generosity of this rood mode it necessary
r s special Interview aud special arrangement
th the President. The Secretary informs us that
with __ .
Governor Brown has not only mot this unusual draft
upou tbs road, but has further tendered tbe dole-
ates a special train, by which all delegatee who will
Atlanta by se' r en o'clock ou Tuesday morning,
will be carried in less than four hours to Rome, ln
time to open tbe convention by 11 o'clock. The
delegates can proceed directly from the cars to the
hall of the assembly, where, during the organiza-
t.on aud the transaction oi the ncccseary prelimi
nary arrangements for the business of tbe aessiou,
the delegates can be assigned thulr places of lodging
The people of Rome doubtless are fully alive to
the importance of the oooasion, as General Colquitt
informed us that be had been in correspondence
with General Black, of Rome, the member of the
committee from the seventh district, who had writ
ten him that they only wanted to know the day and
hour to have all things ready.
This is an Important session. The reports of tin-
then be submiued tor notion. Tuey should be
thoroughly prepared with their reports.
