We ask the attention of every Planter, of every Farmer, of every man indeed, who feels the least
 interest in the prosperity of Alabama. to the proceed Ings and report of the Agricultural Convention which met not long since m Mobile. They will be found on our foui iih page. We trust the recommendations contained in the report will be needed, for deeply do they affect our every interest. The subject of Ag ricultue is commanding al this time, large share of the attention of many, very many of the most en- frightened minds of the age. Improvements in this science have been made within the last thirty years, as great (and which involve the well being of man kInd in far greater deRree) as any connected with lnechanics-the application of steam power to the aid of man, wonderful as they are.

An article in the New York Courier states that commission of British Naval and Military officers and Engineers has recently been emplo, ed by the Government, in surveying the Southern and South Eastern Coasts of England, with view to the more complete fortifcation of those against possi ble invasion from France, in the event of another war.
 They have recommended the formation of several new large harbors, 10 be formed by breakwaters and moles of great extent and strength, and to be strucled as 10 form very effective batteries. These,
 in addition to those already existing, will afford ac- commodation for large fleet of steamers ready for any emergency, and al the same time provide a ref uge for British merchantmen in distress.
 The Royal Navy of Great Brtain alread, contains about two hundred steamers, many of them of the largest size Since the first of April 1889 forty nine have been built, and others now in progress which will when completed greatly increase tine ei- fcctIve steam force of the Navy. This is also en- trely nde endent of the very large increase propos- ed by Sir Robert Peel.
 Besides these there is immense number of sieam CTS, which are now employed as packets, &c.,, but which in the event uf war. could readily be rendered serviceabIe. There are sixty belonging to the port of Liverpool alone. The Government is also bnsily employed in repairing all the works at places already fortified, and in forif,ing those which are not Guns are to be kept constantly mounted at Portsmouth, Plymouth and ihe moah of the Thames
 These vigorous preparations indicate anything, on me part oi the British Government, but strong cons hdence m the speedy advent of the millenium. The rapid progress of Peace principles, the growing hos tty among all the of the earth war, form admirable topics for declamativn; Lul it must be | confessed that al present they are among the things 10 Do desired, rather than expected.

strong desire is manifested at the North to give some distinctive name to country, other than that of the Unted States. There are many pIaus,b reasons why some general designation should be adopted, which IS pecua, to the country and cara- bic Of being used in the form of an adjective. We are without any single wo,d which describes a ci,i- zen of the United States, and that awkward (orm o description applies equally the people of the other American governments. There are other U. States and other American people than ours. It an old sub Ject of discussion if il decided that the change is in the whole desirable. We remember that soma years ago attention was attracted the national de- hcIency, and some progress made by opening cor respohdence among public in the effort to obtain general concurrence of action, in favor of change Various new names have been suggested Fredon,a, Colonia, Columbia, AlIeghania and Apalacha, are among those which have found most favor. Either of the ast two would be distinctive and sufficiently euphoneous. We alude to the subject, however, for the purpose of expressing objection 10 any change winch would abolish or materially affect the use of the description of the United States as applied to our system. Call them United States of Allegha- nla' or Apaacha, any thing else as may be
 
 countries let be called ApaIachans or A legha- mans, in distinction from Mexicans or Canadians in America, as Frenchmen or Spanlards are distin- su''ned by their names, as different European peo- p'' rom the Germans English.

BREAKING SEALs,-The news brought by the steam ship Cambria, has generally been considered of great importance, particularly to commercial The press of our Atlantic ciies has borrowed very
 largely from the mass of il, but we have seen no no-
 tee taken by any of them of the exposure of the Brit
 sh ministry, m their attempts to get the secrets of individuals by opening letters the Post Office. We extract the follow ing from the parliamentary sum mary of Wilmer & Smiths European Times of 1.-the 4th of Marcb:-
 "Few things have produced stronger personal
 interest than the turn which Mir. Thomas Duncombe, Of the members for Finsbuary, gave to the par
 amentary events of last week. by charging Sir James Graham with having had the 'meanness and the base ness to open his letters without the courage to avow it." Language So pointed, personal, thun fred in Ministers ear amidst the cheers and the jeers of
 the Opposition, was lis ened to without protest on the part of the erripg funconary. This posl-ofice let ter breaking and pryng is the legacy of the last slon, when a secret committee of both Houses was appointed to investigate the charge. The commit- tees went to workj qhc called witnesses, examined ministers ol State--those in office we'll as those now in oppostion-and made reports, winch omitted all mention of the most interesting point at issue whether the letters of popular member oC parlia. menl had been violated. The session was about to break up when these reports appeared, but Mir. Duncombe, who had been 'nursng his wrath to keep it warm,' has conirived that time, whinh in most cases takes away the edge of novelty, should sharpen the public appetite respecting this damag ing inquiry Ii there is one thing than another respecting which the world s jeal0us-constanily and becOm- ingy ieaous-t is the avioiabty of private corres- pondence. The bare suspicion that, in their transit through the post-ofce, letters have been violat ed is enough to mantle with crimson the cheek of the most apathelic; hut when2 the party so insulled is spirited, fiery, talkatve member of the legislalure- a man of talent and popularity. who backs h,s ap- pealsto the House by wit. sarcasm and intellect. it is easy to conceive, ina great commercial country ike this, where confidence, epistolary and oiherwse so ina .1Ek sl.aa ,f dignation must lower on the unhappy instrument of such official meanness.
 Poor Sir James Graham writhed under the flag citations which this post off espionage evoked.- As he IS cunning of fence, and never misses op- porluniiy when he has an opponent on the hip, of ''usng him up," the wretched figure which he cut in this affair was source of real enjoyment to bers on both sides of the House,
