State Agricultural Society.

All accounts agree in saying that the NEE
ting of the State Agricultural Society at
Springfield, last week, to elect officers, was
little bsttor than disgraceful mob. The
two candidates put in nomination for Presi-
dent were Samuel Buckmaster, of Alton, and
Lewis Ellsworth, of Naperville. The strife
seemed to have reference to the next locs-
ton OF the State Fair. So earnest were the
different partisans to carry their point, tha;
scores OF blank certificates Ct membership
were purchased on both sides, and distribu-
ted gratis 10 any one that would vote the
ticket of the donor. The wrange continued
from O'Clock III the evening until after
o'clock, when finally Lewis Ellsworth was
pronounced elected. The balance Of the Of
fees were filled as follows:
The nine vice presidents were C. g. DEMO,
10 Daviess county; W. II. Van Epps, Lee
Col. j. Gerard, Vermillion; A Dunlap, Pc
oria; j. W. Singleton, Adams; Stephen
Dunlap, Morgan; DR.. VIM. kile, Edgar; S.
B. Chandler, St. Clair Fl. S. Osborn, Pur-
ry; Recording Secretary-JOhn Cook, Of
Sangammon. Corresponding Secretary
Simeon Francis, SanGammon. Treasurer
J. W. Bum, Sangammon.
The Society finally adjourned to meet
again in Springfield on the 22d of February,
at which time propositions for the location
Of the next State Fair will be entertained.

HUNTING GROUSE WITH ARTILLERY--Al
bert Pike went out recently, with Major
Rector, Indian Superintendent, to assist in
the payment Of Indian annuities among the
tribes west of Arkansas A correspondent,
of the Fort Smith Herald, writing from the
Creek Agency, describes Col. Pixies method
of hunting the grouse, or prairie hen:
Knowing how wild they are, lie came pre-.
pared to outwit them. He hunts with a
piece Ct artillery, a six-pounder. This he
haus gu. on the prairie, and when he disco.
vers a flock he unlimbers, sights the gun,
and touches her off. He rarely misses. |,
is very exciting to see a dozen grouse hut
tcring with broken wings, among twice as
many dead ones, and the captain chasing
them and catching them. His usual charge
is pound of powder, and a quarter of bag
Of turkey or swan shot He generally
shoots at about two hundred yards. He
killed in John Sells field below here, the
other day, thir,y-three grouse at a single
ire. Maj. Rector, who accompanied him,

From Europe.

Our dates from Liverpool are to The 25th

ceiyel in England and France, and excited
considerable comment. The French foreign
Office expressed some surprise at Mr.. Bu-

ca 10 purchase Cuba, France having pre-
yiously notified the American Minister Of
its determination, in conjunction with Eng
land not to tolerate the cession of Cuba to
the United States, even were Spain to con-

DOa.las and SijdeIi,

We find in the Chicago papers Of ves;er-
day the following somewhat confused ac-
count Of a correspondence in the Washing
ton papers between Senators Douglas and
S!.dell. Whether it smells of gunpowder or
not, can only be determined or seeing the
whole correspondence:
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
In the States of Tuesday last, appeared q
card from Senator Douglas, in reply to Ger
tain alleged charges of Senator SiideIl which
have recently became matters of public dis
cuSsion.
In the Union, Of this morning, appears 4
reply from Senator Slidell TO Senator Doug
las card, saying there is - a paragraph in it
which fairly admits the construction that he
had denounced me in Chicago as a calurlni-
ator, on the authority of a statement i'm
puted TO Dr. BI ainard, without ever CALLING
on him to learn whether there was any
foundation for his charge, when the event
proves that DIR. Branard, If called upon
would have shown tie whole story a c..ori
cation"
Mr. S.idell states the facts and circum
stances under which he made the pu6!ica
ton of the 18th Of December, adding: 'Ir
nay Judgment they formed 4 very sutliceD
warrant for the declaration contained in it
and that Mr. Douglas had authorized ant
