Proposed Agricultural State Eonvcn~
t1on.
Our readers are well aware that tho Exec
utive Board Of the State Agricultural Society
win meet in Springfield on the 5th OF Janu:
ary, proximo. It has been proposed by many
members Of the Board, that general State
Agricultural Convention be held 1T the same
time, Is there seemed to be many matters Of
importance which could render such an as
semblage one Of much interest to the farmers
of the State. In accordance with this desire,
the Corresponding Secretary Of the Society
has issued an invitation for2 such an assem-
b1age. This-conyentlon will BE- one Of the
first Importance to the agricultural interests
Of the State. ". H. Van Epps, Esq, the eff
cient President Of the State Society, has Is
sued the following letter upon the subject:

How tho Rebels Regard their Defeat.
- from the Richmond Dispatch.l =

: The Confederates have sustained, to-day,
the most fgnominious defeat Of the whole
was-s defeat for which there Is but little ex-
cuse'or pa1liation. For the first time during
our struggle for national independence, our
deieat Is chnrgeab}e to the troops themselves,
and not to the blunders or incompetcncy Of
their leaders. 1t is difficult for one to realize
hoE defeat SO complete could have occur
red on ground SO favorable, notwithstanding
the great disparity in the forces Of The two
hostile armies. Tbs ground mas more In our
favor than It was At Fredericksburg, where
Gen. Longstreet is said to have estimated that
Lee's army was equnl to $500, 600 men, and
vet NC gained the battle Of Fredericksburg
and los. That Of Missionary Ridge. ::
The battle Of Mission Ridge was great
misfortune, not on account Of the loss Of
men, which was inconsideTable, nor the loss
Of territory, which Was fur more serious. but
chiefly on account Of the loss Of the moral
strength and confidence Of the army and the
country.

HOW TO PROMOTE EMIGRATIoN.
The President makes very Valuable
suggestion in lis message on the question
Of emigration. He declares that:
"While the demand for labor is increasing here
tens Of thousands ofpcrsons destitute Of remnner-
atire occupation are thrpnging our foreign Consu-
1atca, and Offering to cmig1ate to the United
States, essential but very cheap, assistance can
be afforded them" =;
Why should not this assistance I've af.
forded them? They are greatly needed
in this country, and not wanted in their
native land. Abundance Of employment
can be given to one million Of laboring
people from Europe, as fast as they can be
got here. There arc large numbers of
skilled 1aborcrs from the manufacturing
districts who would be glad to come to
this country if they had the pecuniary
means. But they are destitute Of money.
They should certainly be assisted to reach
this land of the free and home Of the
brave. 1t has been estimated by able men
who have investigated the subject, that
euigg1ants taken together, the children
with the adults, arc worth to the country
in a pecuniary point Of view, $500 a head
They actually add to the productive power
ofthe country sum that. more than pays
!. the interest on $500 each, besides earning
their own support. And this cstimate was
made before the war when the demand for
labor was far less and money but half as
plenty as now. At this time each emf.
grant is as good as m addition to the prop
erty Of the country Of $500 -Able-bodied
labo1ing enigrant men would be worth
more Than $4,000 each to the business Of
the Republic. The ravages and losses Of
thc war can most speedily be repaired by
heavy importations from the great Euro
pean hives. It ought not to cost the Coy
eminent above ten. Or fifteen dollars a
head to bring over here those wishing to
cmigrate who have not the means to de-
ftay their expenses. Preference ought to
1,e. given to young men and women. Bonds
might be taken. from young men and
hesds Of families to repay the Government
with interest, tho passage money from
the place Of embarkation to our shores or
to thc interior Of the West as, they may de-
sire, out Of their earnings in this country.
In this way the Government would be re-
imbursed for its outlay, and the productive
interest Of the country would be immense
~ benefited. Great numbers of these
emigrants tempted BY the high pay and
bounty given to volunteers, would doubt
less enlist in our army. They make capi-
tai soldiers, being healthy, robust obedient
and brave men. We hope Congress wiIl
take steps to promote emigration.
