The Grand Result,

Our dispatches from California at length
enable US to present the grand result of the
Presidential election Of 1860, With respect to
two or three States there is not yet complete
certainty, and perhaps will not be until the
official returns are published. Virginia I'M
doubleday has a small plurality for Bell. Mis-
souri, is not yet ali in, but there appears to us
to be no doubt that she goes for Douglas by
plurality of two or throa hundred. The re-
turns from California and Oregon render it rea-
sonably evident that both thos, Pacific States
have gone for Lincoln, though the plurality in
both cases will b. small. The 303 votes, there
fore, of the electoral college will be cast as fol-
lows, l52 being necessary to choice

Speeches by Mr.. Lincoln,

MIR. Lincoln, accompanied by Mrs. Lincoln,
Senator Trumbull ,Eand others, journeyed from
Springfield to Chicago, short time since -
Although his journey was not generally known
beforehand, yet crowds of people assembled at
every depot. Quite enthusiastic demonstra-
lions were made at several places, and Mr..
Lincoln was prevailed upon twice to acknowl-
edge these testimonials of respect and esteem
At the town of Lincoln he came upon the plat,
form of the car and spoke as follows
FeliOp, Citizens: I thank you for this mark
OF your kindness toward mo have been shut
up in Springfield for the last few months, and
therefore have been unable to greet you, as
was formerly in the habit of doing. am
passing on my way to Chicago, and am happy
IN doing so to be able to meet SO many Of nv
friends in Logan County, and if to do no more,
to exchange with you the compliments of the
season. and to thank you for the many kind
nesses you have manifested toward me. | am
not in the habit of making speeches now, and
would therefore ask to be excused from enter
ing upon any discussion Of the political topics
OF the day. | am glad to see go many happy
faces, and to listen to SO many pleasant ex-
presslons. Again thanking you for this honor
will pass en- my journey.
Bowling to the enthusiastic crowd Mr.. Lin
coin entered the car, which was already in mo.
ton
AT Bloomington very large crowd assem-
bled, and after many calls, MI Lincoln appear.
ed and spoke again, as follows
Fel'Ow- Citi9eas of Bloomington and Mclean
County: am glad to meet you after longer
, separation than has been common between Won
and me. thank you for the good report YOU
made of the election IN old Mclean. The peo-
pie of the Country have again fixed up their
atfairs for constitutional period of time. By
the way, think very muchiof the people as an
| old friend said he thought of woman He said
when he lost his first wife, who had been
great help to him in business, he thought he
was ruined-that he could never find another to
fill her place. At length, however, he married
another, who he found did quite as well as the
first, and that his opinion now was that any

After Mr. Lincoln concluded his speech, Sem

Mrs. Lincoln received quite an ovation at

County and State Agricultural Societies

The Legislature has, very wisely, taken away
the appropriation of some two thousand dollars
annually given to the County Fairs, Those
Fairs have answered the purpose OF their crea-
ton, and have, to greGt extent, been super
seeded by Town Fairs which have, very appro-
priately, taken their place, and dispensed with
the expense heretofore attendant upon the
County Fairs ThersLwere several reasons why
ii was thought best u discontinue this small
item Of expense. NAeA alive organizations
which were Of no practical utility except to
few managers, and was found to be in the way
Of healthy interchange of sentiments among
the people. 1t also, in measure, interlOred
with the inauguration of other and more ad.
vanced systems of improvement for the farmer.
Not that thes, societies have done no good, for,
on the contrary, they have awakened good in
tcrest in agricultural products, an interest
which cannot be in the least injured by now dis.
continuing these appropriations. Farmers do
not need TO be paid for producing superior ami
mails, but they do need to be informed how to
produce bette: crops with the same labor. Not
that there is to be some fancy farmer imported
to give US this information, but there must nee
cssariIy be a small expense attending the colcc'
ton of information, and arranging system Of
experiments, fer the farmers themselves to carry
oat The farmers are to furnish this informa-
ton themselves, and to conduct the operations,
the same as in their Town FAIRS But to make
it general and successful, it must have the whole
State for its field of labor, and the sanction Of
the Legislature
We have been making arrangements for Sc
ries Of articles from correspondent who knows
whereof he writes, and shall publish them at
no late day. Meanwhile, we want the sugges-
tons and inquiries Of our agricultural friends
to aid US.
