hold its annual session in this city on the 18th Of
Januarg next i,nlead Of February, The constitution
having been changed. new Impetus has been
given TO this society by the Triumphant success OF
its recent exhibition at Boston. The expenses there
were nearly $40, 600; the premiums paid amounted
to u 600; yet the receipts sufficient to cover
every thing and leave balance in the treasury.
We learn that Hon. N. P. WILDER, the President
Of the Society, is making arrangement to have
lectures and debates on important agricultural
sl'j scts during the session of the society her.
EAST AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE In no previous
year have the trausac tons between these divisions
OF the State been so large the present Omit
ting to say anything of the immense grain transac-
tiOns, whirhreally seem marvellous and incl edulous,
yet have left trade OF which few perhaps
have but little idea The internal transaction in
the line Of hogs alone large beyond thar OF any
preceding year. In going over the Nashville aud
Chattanooga Railroad, one sees upon every switch a
train backed up of these quadrupeds in waiting to
go on. We passed over the road on Sau day and
saw at least four thousand route to Chattanooga
where the enterprise OF Chandler NcCamy make
a hasty disposition of them. This firm will leave
in Middle Tennessee from seventy five 10 a hundred
thousand dollars for live stock received. Null
berry Creek 10 Lincoln County there we're paid out
thirteen thousand, la another place in the same
county ten thousand and so Oh all thrOU III those
corn growing counties. This Is a trade that has
sprung into action within IL" IL: 80 years, and
which Wi! Increase and enlarge ia years TO come
In noticing these internal transactions one can
not help from enchanting what mighty results rail-
road enterprises will not accomplish. Before the
building Of the Nashville and Chattanooga road
such internal trade could not have been carried on,
;he farmer aud the capitalist would have been
strang to such commercial friendship and all
classes OF business would have felt its ELECTS.
GIVE the farmers good crops and let them have
railroads facilities aud then there vii Ue activity at
