Let no association, .State or local, whose object is to promote agriculture, manufactures, and mechanics’ arts, fail to be represented in the approaching Agri cultural Congress. 2. Let associations be formed in locali ties wherein none exists. 3. Let each society that may appoint delegates, send op to the Congress a small contribution, proportion to its number of members and its ability, to meet the necessary expenses of the session—such as the Secretary’s pensation and print ing. The Congress has no salaried offi cers except the Secretary. His duties are onerous and demand compensation. They are also indispensable. Let all constituence, therefore, remember to be also contributors to a fund for the pur pose indicated. 4. Let each association, proposing to send delegates, act at once and take prop er steps to arrange with railroads for re duced rates. What is necessary for our own success and usefulness, are earnestness and ac tivity on the part of all associations, and the friends everywhere, of the ad vancement of our country’s prosperity. The time is short within which to act. Do not procrastinate. By proper effort an amount of intelligence and practical wisdom may be concentrated at Selma, which will give an irresistable impetus to our organization and plant it on a solid foundation. Then go to work, friends—friends of the plow, the furnace and the workshop —friends of our country—unite heart 4 and hand, to make permanent “The Agricul tural Congress,” established to advance and elevate all industries.

Bullock, since his return, has not only caused a suit to be commenced against Dr. Angier, because the Doctor refused to pay illegal war rants, but that he declines to draw any warrants on the Treasury for any pur pose. Persons to whom money is justly due, and to whom the money could as well be paid as not, cannot prevail on the Governor to draw his warrant for the We have heard that he says he wants the question tested, as to whether he or Angier is Governor. He has, we are told, refused to issue warrants in favor of the Insane and the Deaf and Dumb Asylums—both of which are en titled to the money, and ought to be paid. How is This? Is Governor Bullock’s refusal to issue any more warrants on the Treasurer prompted by a vindictive spirit, or by a desire to vindicate the dignity of his po sition, which he thinks has been wan tonly outraged by the* ‘refractory’’ Treasu rer? or is it all really because he wants the money kept in the Treasury for some other purpose? Did those bonds fail to sell? Could they not be “soaked” for something, so as to place an abundance of means in the Treasury?

In this there seems to be something of a compliment to the “New Departure” of the left-handed sort—for the “Re form Ticket” a more honest and sensible concession—found little consideration. Party, it seems, voted for their men re gardless. The “New Departure” has helped to do some damage in the country vote, and its association with Tammany & Co., to gether witb its general effect, has pre pared its forehead to be stamped with the “anathema maranatha” of the Dem ocratic party. I was glad to notice, in your corres pondent’s letter from Maine, an assu rance of the correctness of my supposition with regard to the character of the “New Departure” there—being satisfied the term insignificant may well be applied to it, wherever it makes its appearance. The Democratic party should be brought out in '72 fairly and sqaarely upon its time-honored principles. Suc cess to them will vindicate America and her system of government. Defeat will be honor, to those who sustain them and disgrace to those who disregard them.— Just as the people were brought, in 1800, to a full consideration of their true posi tion and their proper behoof, so let it be in 1872; and the people shall decide whether they appreciate or understand the true purposes of the government they regulate, and with the guilty shall rest the blame. If our forefathers thought it worthy the sacrifices they made, it should fitkfl little argument to convince that it is worthy of being sustained by their de scendants. How admirable and proper is the ad vice given by you with regard to the choice of representatives in the United States Senate. I think with you, and I can not see how any true man who fully, calmly considers the matter, can fail to appreciatethatitis the only honorable course to pursue. Just after the war ended, and Congress, in direct violation of the Constitution, placed disabilities upon certain men in the South, and all were speaking-of ineligibility to Congress, &c., I declared then, if I were the people of the South, I would choose the best men as Representatives, regardless of what a Rump Congress might say, and, like the * English in the matter of Wilkes, send them back at every election whether they were ad mitted or not. It was the true policy, and to-day, it would be better for the South to have no representatives thanC men whom they select at the dictation of Congress. T hope the Democracy will come out from under the infernal domain of policy—and stand upon principle alone. Honesty is the best policy in political af fairs as in any other, and it is the only policy that can secure the aid of heaven against the machinations of men. If the Democracy will stick to principle— the people tiring of misrule will know then that they are worthy of confidence, and will commit the trial to them. Then let “bate nor jot, nor tittle of their high re solve, but bear upward and steer right onward.” Veritas. fair dots. Little Ella Forcacre took the premium, and deservedly, on the best display of wax flowers. This little girl—only seven years of age—deserves great praise for her excellent task, both in making and arranging the flowers. She has been taking "lessons only a few months. This case of flowers, we un derstand, will be sent to Macon, for ex hibition at the State Fair. The Ladd Family is specially a fortunate one. Ladd walked off with three medals—one for light ning-rods, one for lime, and one for coal. Mrs. Ladd received only six pre miums; but like tho kind lady that she is, she was not unhappy because she did not get more. The Attendance at the Park yesterday was very large. The day was fine—though a little warm— and every body seemed to enjoy them selves, and most of the folks came away happy. The Crowd of Visitors that came to attend the Fair was still here yesterday. All seemed to have be come interested, and resolved to stay and see it out. Horse-men will remain over Monday, and then most of them will go to Macon. A Great Many Persons who have visited the Fair Ground during the week were disappointed in not seeing the steamer. Some have expressed the belief that the vessel was a myth. "We can assure all, however, that it was there, though it was not visible as often as it should have been. It was snugly moored in the boat house too much of the time. The Races to-day will attract a fine crowd to Oglethorp Park. Some fine horses have been entered, and some good turf business may be expected. There are many fine animals upon the ground whose merits will be developed by the handsome purses that are up. Department H. Of the stock on the Fair Ground, under the efficent management of Col. G. H. Waring, of Kingston, one of the most prominent stock raisers in Georgia, was manngedto the entire satisfaction of all persons. His “Georgia Filly,” which he has been driving for seventeen years, took three premiums. He was as sisted by W. A. Spence of this city. Mr. A T. Finney and Messrs [Me Bride & Smith all got premiums on vehicles of their, own manufacture. They deserved them, as their end of the show was sustained moat elegantly. Finney sold seven car riages and buggies yesterday. Miss Kittle Randall of this city, had on exhibition, the only case of wax fruit that was offered. It was most creditable to the young lady, and deserved some notice at the hands of judges. Miss Neppic Randall, of this city, took the premium for the best historical painting. Her picture was highly spoken of. “The Fun of the Thing,” at the Fair, was concentrated in the mule race. It was high old sport. The beauty and intelligence of this abnormal creature never appeared to a better advantage. There is no doubt that they did their evel best. They ran when they had a mind to, and when they took a notion to halt, they halted. But whether they ran. or halted the whole crowd whooped and hurrahed, until the animals appeared to be really embarrassed. They succeeded, however, in performing their mission— that is, in amusing the crowd. If there was a man in the crowd who did not laugh, his gizzard must have been in a shocking bad condition, or he must have had a distressingly bad mouth for laughing. . By Wholesale.
