Mrs. Aiumie McCulloch, nee Miss Am in ie Torry, formorly of this city, died in Columbus, Miss., on tho 2d just. Many hero will remombor her as a very* swoot and interesting young lady. At tho timo of her death she was some twenty-throe years of age. llor mother was well known for distinguished ability in drawing nn<T painting. Sho prepared the well known Columbus Guards ling, presented to the company at Brunswick in 1801. The Mayor of Atlanta. We heard a distinguished delegate to the Agricultural Convention say, yester day, that Gen. Bob Toombs predicts that Kimball will bo tho Mayor of Atlanta in two years. Already, as a reward for rob bery, Kiiuball is assigned to the bridal chamber in tho H. 1. K. House.

Tho reporter in tho last few days has heard so much about farming, that ho can tell any man how to do it. Upon oxygen, hydrogen and phosphoric acid ho is perfect, and you can’t fool him on any of the nitrates, citrates, superphosphates, bisulphates, or any of tho hi dal dingoes, lie can tell farmers tho only way to bo independent is to make plantations self- sustaining, for those who do not grow poorer. Adjournment of the Convention. The Agricultural Convention has ad journed to meet next August at Stone Mountain. As a rule, tho convention has been au able body, though disturbed at times by long harruugues from not well informed men. Persistent gas bags should be closed out at every meeting. Some valuable papers were read and suggestions made that will rodouud to tho interest of Georgia agriculture and the advancement of the State. Able men controlled the deliberations. The Ides of March. The Ides of March whs an eventful period iu Roman history, and fraught with fate to great Julius Cmsar, and in tho future to his nephew, Octavius, sub sequently the Emperor Augustus; and the Ides of the coming mouth of March, or rather tho 31st day of that mouth, will be freighted with fortune to many in our own great republic. Ou that day will bo the grand drawing of the grandest Gift Coucert over announced—that of the Fub- Ue Library of Kentucky—when 12,000gifts will be distributed. With such prizes as *0,000, $100,000, Ac., which are to be distributed, it i s not at all wonderful that the demand tor tickets is unparalleled. licketa 040 now be had of Capt. C. A. KUnk, Agent. Columbus, Ga lebllt It STATE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. | PROCEEDINGS—THIRD DAT. OEN. A. H. COLQUITT, PRESIDENT. MORNING SESSION. The Convention was called to order by tho President Prayer by tho Rev. J. B. McGeheo. Minutes read. It was Mr. I?. C. Yancoy who seconded tho resolutions, offered the day before, in relation to Dr. R. A. Moore, deceased. Mr. Carmichaol, of Coweta, moved to reconsider so much of tho minutes as ac cepted tho invitation to ride ou the North A South Railroad. Ho thought, as tho Legislature and Congress “was a settin,” thoso bodies would pay attention to tho suggestions of this Convention, and ho thought they had bettor remain at work. Borne gentleman from upper Georgia suggested that his section was greatly in terested in tho subject of narrow-gauge railroad «, and delegates desired to see one practically operated. Tho motion to reconsider wus lost by a heavy majority. Gen. Harrison, of Savannah, movod that three delegates from this Convention be appointed to the National Agricultural Convention, to bu held in Atlanta next May. By Dr. E. Hillyor, of Floyd— Resolved, That this Convention ap prove the policy of the bill now boforo the Legislature providing for a complete and thorough geological survey of tho State, and wo earnestly petition that tho Legislature pnvs this law and authorize the work lo be commenced as soon us poasiblo. Ho a ided a few remarks iu favor of tho resolution. Gen. Browne, of Clarke, strongly en dorsed the measure. It was important that the resourced of our land and its min/ oruls should bo made in an authoritative form. Such facts would tend to attract immigrants and tend to prevent our own citizens from leaving. The resolution was unanimously ad opted. The reading of the report on diroct trade with Europe was re.iumoJ. The great ad vantages wo>*o detailed at too great length for reprodu :tion hero. Tho ouhanoed pneo of cotton, avoiding middle meu, making closer relations with the plantor and the manufacturer, enables tho farmer to hold his cotton, borrow money at live per cent., and pay the stockholders of a company. The report was read by Col. D. S. .Johnston. Tho report was adopted, and ordered published on tho miuutos. The following, offered by Dr. Janes, of Groouo, was adopted: “Whereas, Tho interests of production and transportation are co-ordinate branches of industry, and whon properly understood not antagonistic, but mutual ly’ independent; and wheroas tho com- rnittoo appreciates tho policy of tho rail road companies of the State in the effort to promote tho interests of production by cheap transportation of fertilizers, aud by extending facilities for such mootings as promote agriculture ; “Resolved, That tho thanks of this Convention bo tendered to tho several railroads for their courtesies to this body. “Resolved, As tho sense of this Con vention, tho prosperity of tho agricultural interest and that of transportation are perfectly compatible with each other, and that a mutual good understanding bo- tweou thorn should be studiously rnaiu- tainod. “ liosolvod, That so far as any vested rights have been oonforrod by past legis lation on tho railroad companies of tho Stale, it is not the sentiment of the Con vention that thoy should bo disturbed, but that good faith should bo observed by the State iu those as in all otlior obligations based upon public faith. By M. S. Radon, of Chorokoe : “Whereas, the agricultural interest of our couutry demand a cheaper rate of in terest, aud wo tliink tho views of our Worthy Senator, John B. Gordon, ftH ox- pressed in a recent speech delivered iu the Senate on tho financial question will accomplish tho desired end ; therefore, Resolved, That this Convention memo rialize our Legislature to ask Congress to pass such luw.i as will effectually embody and curry out the views of our worthy Sonator. 2. That the President of this Conven tion be instructed to appoint a committee to draft aud forward such memorial. Adopted. By Captain Winu— “ liosolvod, That this Convention in vito Colonel David S. Johnston, of Mor gan county, to prepare and doliver an ad dress nt our next inoetiug (iu August) upcu the necessities, plaus and operations of direct trade, and tho importance of liberal co-operation among plant ora.” Adopted. Mr. White, of Pike, introduced long preambles and resolutions, tho purport of which was that tho Convention urge on the Legislature tho establishment of a Bureau of Agriculture as a department of tho State Government. Adopted. Mr. llopkius, of Gwinnett— “ Resolved, That it is the sense of this Convention that it would bo a wise aud generous course for all manufacturers of and dealers iu fertilizers to either sell for cash, or if the furmcr must buy ou timo, ho should not be required to pay before the first day of December. Adopted. ["Notes are made payable ou Nov. lst.J Gen. Guerry called attention to a cotton screw, invented by Mr. Goorge Golden, aud manufactured by the Columbus Irou Works, ouo of tho largest manufacturing establishments in the South. It was or dered placed on tho right of the Speaker, to he examined by members at their leisure. A resolution in regard to life mombor- ship, by Dr. Janes, was pronounced un constitutional. A letter was received from President W. Leroy Browne, of the State Agricul tural College, stating that the total ex penses of a student at the University for a session of ten mouths was only two huudred dollars, aud that it would be pro ductive of great good if each Agricultural Society iu tho State would offer au award of a scholarship to tho most worthy aud meritorious studont. Mr. Paine, of Cobb, the Secretary, urged the claims of the Direct Trade com pany on the convention. It has been recommended by the State Granges. The capital stock was ton dollars a share, and he hoped every plantor present would take one or more shares. The object was to advance money to planters who desired to ship their cotton from Southern ports to Europe, and thus save the expense of middle men and the charges of intermedi ate shipments at New York. He gave some data on this point, showing that Northern ports wore being fed at the ex- expense of the South. It was expected tho company would commence next month. The eventual capital had been placed at one million dollars. Six thou sand bales of cotton for shipment were assured tho company. A President and twelve Directors are yet to bo chosen. Each stockholder will have tho right to vote for them. Southern tlohr is the best to export to South America. All goes to New York, shipped to the ports of that country, aud Rio coffee received in ex change is carried back to Now York, and thence returned to the South. Stone Mountain was selected as the place for the meeting of the Convention in August, on motion of Mr. Ragsdale, supported hy Mr. Carmichael, Col. Mob ley, and others. At Stone Mountain the first agricul tural association was organized. Col. Mobley, of Harris, stated that, in looking over his papers a short time since, he had come across a poem delivered on July 4th by Gen. Bailey, formorly of Co lumbus. The compo^tion was grand. Sion*- Mountain was a place of grand his toric iulorost, and would create fresh and noble impulses. Dr. Newton, of Clark, introduced reso lutions looking to a small supply of fer tilizers at cash prices, to bo used more in the production of coru than cotton. Adopted. Gun. Wm. M. Browne was elected Vice President, as recommended by tho dele gates of the Ninth District, to fill tho va cancy caused by the death of Dr. It. D. Moore, cf Athens. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Gen. A. II. ColquiU read the semi-an nual report. Our present condition is an anomalous and puinful one. Farmers don’t raise their own bread, and no com munity cau exist that does not furnish its own supplies. All are convinced of this fact, but each one hopes that his neigh bor is so convinced ns to plaut plenty of coru, that he may grow an abundance of cotton. Farmers are out of tho safe track. Abundant supplies will relieve all from want, make independence, increase onorgy and healthful activity. One man with twelve acres of ground can support a family of ton with au ample abundance, and raise somo cotton to sell. (He made this plain by demonstration.; Admitted to bo right by all. Tho debtor is tho ser vant of tho lender. Tho cause of indebt edness is the borrowing of money at a high rate of interest to raise cotton, aud then to pay debts more cotton must be raisod. Labor is tho primary object to be con sidered. To avoid work every scheme of gain is rosorted to—such as gambling in futures, Ac. To thoso iu debt tho committee say get out aud keep out. There is no royul road out, but tho royal road in is crodit. Tho trucks of tho fox were all to the lion’s den. Thoro wore none outwards. Make all you cau and speud as little as you can. Tho groat difficulty is all attempt to live up to tho scale which was justified before tho war. Like the man shrunken by fevor, au attempt by puffing to blow themselves to proportions to fit their former clothes. So now, to fill antebel lum clothes, which were chariots, Ac., farmers go iu debt to furnish horses. EXPENDITURES • Are roprosentod as follows : Receipts past year $118,357.12 Balance fromproceding year.2,072.53 Disbursed past year 10,235.52 Leaving balance of 1,701.21 Tho Association receives un annual appropriation from the State of twenty- live hundred dollars. Tho Committee bus experienced serious embarrassments iu holding Fairs, from a waut of wonoy, aud hence has been com pelled to contract with cities. The idea in the future is to hold Fairs of several weeks’ duration. The last. Fair was a grand success, and tended to advance the staudard of agriculture aud euhauce the rivalry between individual companies. During the past year Samuel Barnett, owing to ill health, was compelled to re sign, aud tho committee as reluctantly ac cepted his resignation, and elected Mr. Malcolm Johnston, un able and efficient officer, to succeed him. The report was receivod and approved. Mr. Barnett, of Wilkes, enforced cer tain views contained in the report of the Executive Coioiuittoe regarding the credit system, but advanced nothing which the report did not contain. Mr. Carmichael inflicted ou the con vention nnother of his long speeches re garding usury, as if a man would lend money uuloss there was competition, at a leas interest thau now. Such talk is mere bosh. Mr. Hopkins, of Gwinnott, urged home manures, use a limited quantity of fertil izers. A tou of fertilizers cost more than n ton of meal. Ho advised the cultiva tion of barley. Two acres of barley will feed a horse a year. Plant in September, cut when greeu, then when ripe have beard sifted ofi, grind in a mill, aud wet and feed to stock. Sow it broad-cast. It will make 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Then one farmer arose and gave statis tics that it would uot pay to raise corn. Such farmers have ruined our couutry by such reasoning and ruiniug facts. Mr. Ragsdale, of DeKalb county, said the chief complaint from the colored belt in tho State,where labor is too expensive, and too much money is employed, and where too few whites work. It was developed in discussion that an acre of corn required five to seven days of work in a year. Somo couteuded it | did not take three days. Acting Presi- I dent Fannin, then presiding, stated that I one mule ought to cultivate sixty acres. Iu the fall put half iu small cereals; iu ' the spring 7 to 10 acres in corn, planting from February 15th, to March 1st, and 1 oats before hand. Mr. C. A. Redd hero stated ho had a The Fete to tho Convention—Largo and painful duty to perform. He bad assured | the Convention that the hotels in Colum- I Brilliant Party. Last evening closed the session of the bus would chargo only $2 and tbe private Agricultural Convention. Columbus, in houses $1 per day board for delegates. He bad made this arrangement himself. He bad understood some members were charged over that amount. If the names of such wore left with the Secretary, he would, if possible, Bee that the overcharge was returned. Mr. Carmichael stated that the Planters' Hotel had charged only $1.2.“, per day. Mr. , of , introduced tbe following: liesolved, That tbe thanks of the Con vention be tendered Mr. C. A. Redd and his brother delegates from Muscogee county, for their efforts to entertain the Convention, nnd we exonerate him from any blame iu the overcharge made by the hotels. DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CONGRESS. The following were electod from the Congressional Districts : 1st District—Gen. G. P. Harrison. 2d District—D. M. Wade. 3d District—C. A. ltedd. 4th District—J. II. Fannin. 5th District—G. W. Adams. Gtb District—L. F. Livingston. 7th District—Wm. Philips. 8th District—Dr. T. P. Janes. 9tli District—D. 8. Johnston. DELEGATES AT LARGE. General A. H. Colquitt. Dr. A. Means. 8ecrelary Johnson stated the minutes, including Prof. White’s, and Dr. Pendle ton's lectures and Col. Hardeman's speech would be sunt out as Boon as he could bavo them printed. Mr. Carmichael claimed he could drain low lands to perfection. His model has been stutod on tbe train. lie exhibited oue on paper. It was a little examined. A telegram wok received from the Na tional Grange, at 8t. Louis, Mis souri, asking if the Convention had anything to ft.sk, and stating that an address had been prepared to the Cotton StateB. Tho National Grange Convention asked that Hcuthern farmers plant moro provisions. It was signed byT. J. Smith, Master of the Georgia State Grange. Col. G. W. Adams moved that the Con- voutiou adopt the report. Ke alluded to the fact that the West was the great grain producing country, and in urging South ern planters to produco such crops the fact was shown that tho Grange was not influoncod by sections. Tbe resolution was adopted, aud with cheers. The usual thanks were returned to citi zens, railroads, the press, tbe President and Secrotnry. President Colquitt, in returning thanks, alluded to tbe able papers wbioh had boon offered to tho Convention. Such a col lection of farmers did good to Georgia and her agricultural interests. The law yers, doctors, churches, Ac., had their annual gatherings. Why not farmers? On motion, the Convention, at 2 p. m., adjourned to meet next August at Stouo Mountain. NUMBER OF DELEGATES. In answer to questions. Secretary John son stated the attondnuco on tho last three sessions had varied from 175 to 228 delegates. Iu the romarkB of Mr. liagsdale the other day he stated that DeKalb couDty alone had paid $5,000 in commissions to agents fur fertilizers, and the county had determined to buy direct for oash from manufacturers. A TO BE REMEMBERED FACT. Of the many members who addressed the convention it is to be noted ouly those who made abundant provision crops admitted to makiog any money. The ex perience of their neighburs had been the same. Those who had paid out of debt hiuoe tho war told the same story. Every planter should protit by this concurrent testimony. ^Carriage In High Li/',. Yesterday morning in the Presbyterian Church waa married, hy ltev. J. H. Nall, the fascinating Miss Kate De W. Willeox, of this city, to Mr. Frank Lumpkin, of Athens. The bride is tbe daughter of Mr. D. F. Willeox, the well known insur ance agont of Columbus. The groom is the cashier of the National Hank in Athons, and tbe son of Judge Lumpkin, doceasod, for so long a period the distin guished Judge of the Supremo Court of Georgia. The bridal procession in tho church was headed by ushers S. S. Murdoch and Cbas. Swift, and Will Ulunchard and Joe Hill, succeeded hy MisseB Emma Hill aud Theresa Griffiu, ami Misses Katie Down ing nnd Maggie Cushman. They were followod by the groom es corting tho bride's mother, aud Mr. Will- cox with his daughtor, tbe bride. After the ceremony, an elegant recep tion was given at the residence of Mr. Willeox. Ou the afternoon train the happy pair took their departure fur Ath ens. ,A more beautiful bride and charm ing attendants were never seen in Colum bus. The Excursion on tho yorth and South Railroad, honor of her guests, prepared • maguifl cent banquet to her visitors. She tried to make all welcome and contented, and if success did not crown her efforts, it cannot bo attributed to tbe lack of exer tion on the part of her citizens. Tbe festival at the Perry House last night was a grand ovation. Tbe attendance waa very large. The beanty of tbe city assembled to do honor to our assembled visitors. We have never seen more charming costumes, nor can human vision hope to be enrap tured by more enchanting luveliuess. If the many members of the convention did not, beneath sparkling glances, witching grace, sweet toned words, and kind atten tions, forget liens and worldly cares, and especially fertilizers, corn and cotton, nothing this sido of heaven can satisfy them. Every enjoyment that heart could wish was furnished. The President, tbe noblest Itoman of them all, the hero of Ocean Pond, and tho handsome and able Secretary, were completely captivated by the charms of the fair oues. Music arose with volup tuous swell; and light feet, to merry airs, glided in the merry mazes of the danoe. Even the geutleman from Coweta might have forgo! ten his plan for draining low lands, and that twenty-five bushels of corn had been raised to the rod of land, had ho participated in tbe intoxicating gladness of the hours. Other rooms were provided for conversation and social com panionship. Among those who floated in the airy movements of the dance were two captivating maidens of Savannah. Our own glorious beauties conquered mauy a heart. The supper was a sump tuous and bounteous .feast. It was pre pared aud superintended by our first la dies. Every detail waa perfection. The ovening is long to be remembered as a joyous oue in our history. I rood for Sato. Mr. John W.
