At that time, tickets tor the passage of delegates over the railroads both ways, free, will be forwarded to th< Secretaries of County Societies.

The President of the Western and Atlantic Railroad has generously offered this and all other necessary facilities to the Conven tion.

These measures are various and im portant : the stock |aw or fence law ; the dog law or sheep law ; the lertilizer law, for protection against adulterated or fraudulently manu factured articles ; the wisest dispq si'ion of the Aijriiuitural College fund; the establishment of chemical slut ions in connection with expert mental farms; the practicability *uf establishing manual labor schools. The w hole people are interested in these measures, and all should be fully represented in making up the reiommeiuiaiioiis of the Convention. Then let all Counties which h ive not done so, form County Societies, and send delegates. By order of A. H. Colquitt, Pres. Dav W. Lewis, Sec. Office of GEORGIA STATE > AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY > Bacon Ga., June, 187 L ) To the Farmers oj Georgia : The Executive Committee of th«; Stale Agricultural Society, and the Agricultural Convention, impressed with the importance of the estab lishment of active, influential and working Agricultural Clubs in the various counties and neighborhoods of the State, as essential to our ma terial progress, resolved to send a special Commissioner of high intelli gence, character, influence andexpe- Hence, to as many Counties as prac ticable, 16 urge the people thereof to form Clubs, and tljus co-operate effi. cienly in the Work of agricultural improvement.

The people will be largely benefited bv listening to his judicious coaoeil, and by adopting the practical sug gestions which he will ofler. A. H Colquitt, President Georgia Stale Agricultural Society. Dav. W. Lewis, Secretary. Morse, the Telegraph Inventor. It used to be thought that men had to die to reap any valuable amount of genuine fame. The world is now reversing this, as it has done and is doing numbers of other long-established and long-ac cepted matters. Now men who do great things—genuine great things we mean—clutch the plaudits of posterity in the stmiing echoes of the present, and indulge a realiza tion ol posthumous glory in the taste of contemporaneous admiration Formerly men wrote great books tiiuj achieved great inventions, and it took several generations and even centuries to awaken mankind to their value, and elevate their authors 10 the pedestal due to their genius. And in consequence, a va9t quantity of fame has made the long-buried bones of some bright human lumin ous with worldly glorification, while the poor fellow in his life time lived in obscurity, reaping but contumely, and probably died contemned or mirtyred. But now anew era has corrected the injustice wont to be given to genius, and while it often sets up for worship a host of false gods, yet it as often with creditable discrimina tion discerns the certain admiration of posterity, anticipates the saga cious plaudits of future generations, and gives to greatness of soul and deed the foretaste of that fame that comes too late after death to gratify the hungry greed of ambition or the lofty aspiration of immortal worth. It would be hard to tell what the world owes to Morse, the inventor of the telegraph. It would be diffi cult to estimate, aye, impossible. No man can calculate. What the telegraph has done for civilization the brain cannot figure. The chasm between the world without and with the telegraph imagination cannot conceive. It lias revolutionized the world in every thing. The impetus it has given to progress is simply in conceivable. To such a benefactor of mankind the richest ovations of fame are his inevitable destiny, it is in accordance with the spirit of the age then that Morse is hearing the mutterings of that destiny of fame that lies ahead of him so grandly. The world can stop in its marvel* ious rush of advancement to honor him. At nine o’clock Saturday night a statue was inaugurated to him in Central Park, built by the six thou sand operators of the United Slates that have employment through his machless invention, and the people everywhere recognize its justice, and the papers teem with laudations of the benetacior of the human race. * At this hour fifteen thousand cop ies of this congratulatory and grate ful message were sent over the world: Greeting to all telegraph opera tors throughout the world. Peace on earth ; good ,will to men. God bless you all. S. F. B. Morse. Mr. Morse is eighty years old, and a hale, hearty gentleman, with the promise of years belbre him of life. The statue erected to him cost $12,000. The figure stands erect, with the right hand slightly raised; a cloak is thrown over the nglit shoulder and falls in graceful folds over the arm to the hand, which is extended and open. The left arm rests upon a pedestal, with the hand hanging over its side, holding a slip of paper hulding a cabalistic sentence as writ ten by the telegraph instrument.— The left foot of the figure is slightly raised, which renders the position remarkably easy. The design of the sculptor in the position of the figure in general, and in that of the head and hands in particular, was to express the idea that the inventor of the telegraph, on receiving the first message as the result of his labor, holds the strip of punctured paper in his extended hand, and after musing over it for a moment suffers his left hand to fall at his side, still holding the precious scroll, while his right hand still extended and his head raised in reverence he utters the words: “Thank God, my work is done.” The statue is seven feet high and stands on apedestalof the same el vation. A number of oar young men have sp plied for « charter for a lodge of Good Templars in our city. M. J; Cofer, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Tem plars, will be here on Thursday or Fri day of this week to establish a lodge. Further notice of the day and time will be given, and let all who are in favor of Temperance and a mitigation of the evil of Whisky drinking, meet at the Court room on the evening of the day, and perfect so organisation.— Recorder.
