ALTON, Dec. Is, 1863
MORNING SESSION.
The Society met this morning in. the Mer.
camille Hall, a fine building just completed,
and owned By Ar. Root, President Miner in
the chair. The attendance was very fair con.
sidering that only the Ohio and Mississippi
and Chicago and Alton railroads grant return
passes. We can see no reason why the rail
road companies should not grant the same
courtesles to this valuable State institution
that they do. to the State Agricultural So
ciety,' more especially the Illinois Central,
which is 50 deeply interested in the progress
Of fruit culture and market gardening, from
Chicago to Cairo. We observe but one mem
bcr from that part Of tile State, 1eaching a
distance Of 365 miles, and no one from the
main line, but we trust that more will arrive.
Orer fifty members have answered TO the
roll call, and taken their seats.
The President delivered the ueual annual
address, which teens with practical sueees-
tons. II was referred to the proper com
mittee.
There arc several fine lots of fruits on the
tables, Of which We shall have occasion to
speak 80 soon as the whole collection Is in
order.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Messre. Phenl1, Bryant and Stewart were ap-
pointed Committee on Fruits; Nj. Hosman
and Mr: Mgdd Of Mo-, DR.. SHREDDER, Dr. War
which there is good display.
The Treasurer reported cash on hand of
S116, after paying all the expenses of Rock.
ford fair, and other expenses, up to this date,
showing the Society In good, healthy condi.
ton.
LIST OF APPLES.
This list. was taken up, and after poino
through part Of the list, the subject was
passed over Tor the present.
DIVISIONS OF TIE STATE.
This soon proved knotty question in
which the meeting soon became tangled mn.
and It was finally decided to compromise tic
matter between science and convenience,
and adopted the line of the Logausporf. Pen.
ria & Burlington Railroad, for the South lin
1t Of Northern Illinois and the Terrc Haute
and Alton Railroad that Of the North limit Of
Southern Illinois,
4 motion Was made to strike out the words
ground cultivation, and insert market so
that it shall read s'list Of fruits for market
purposes" This was carried by small ma
jor1ty after debate Of some two hours, but
was sclnded and laid on the table,
EVENING SESSION.
Mr. Galusha moyed the appointment Of q
for each division Of the State, to
report List of apples: LIST for market pur-
poses ed, for family use; Sd, for trial.
Mess1s. Galusha, Whitney aud Murtfeldt,
for northern Illinois; Messrs. Hull, Stew.
art and Oyelman. for central Illinois: and
Mcesra. Baker, Eagg and Wright. for south |
crn Illinois.
PEACH CULTURE. |
Dr.. E. s. Hull of Alton read On essay on |
peach culture. The DR.. is one of the most |
successful an intelligent cultiyators Of the |
peach, and the essay attracted no small atteu- |
ion, az will be seen by the discussion.
The Doctor took the ground that the peach

lsrec1al Dispatch TO the Chicago THbune.1
WAsMsa7os, Dec 16, 1858.
Senator Sherman has procured for the use
Of the Western Sanitary Fair, and has for.
warded to Cincinnati this evening, the origi
nal autograph copy Of the Presidents late
proclamation of the amnesty accompanying
his message. It is full Of intcrlineatIons and
eraeures, giving evidence Of the various
shades Of meaning to form Which the Pres.
ident inclined in drawing it up. So valuable
historical document, it will command gen,
cral interest and excite lively bidding,
Forney has furnished highly valuable col.
lection Of autograph letters from prominent
men, North mud South, which will be sent
ont tomorrow.
Personal.
Gen. Schofie1d has arrived, in obedience to
the Presidents summons, and had an inter
view with the President to-day. Reports
prevail that he has already been removed,
but mp to noon to-day, at any rate, they were
premature. The better belief, however, is
that his removal has either been determined
upon orit is very probable.
Gen. Rosecrans Is still regarded his most
probable successor, If the removal is made,
though the War Office Is hostile to him. and
may interfere. Burnside is also talked Of
OBITUARY.
Brig. Gen. Buforl, noted cavalry officer
Of the Potomac army, died In this city yes
terday.
schofield is not yet removed. The proba-
bility Is, that, If removed at all, he will at
once be assigned to some other command.
He had an Interview at q late hour with the
Secretary Of War.
