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-

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.

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,

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.

Exports and Imports.
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.
