I'm Very 1sad Taste.

In the Agricultural Convention yester-
day, during the discussion on resolution
looking to Columbus as the place for hold
ing all future State Fairs, n. b. GATES, of
Lorain county, had the bad taste to speak of
this as "Copperhead District" and to go
out of his way to indulge in gratuitous and
an ungenerous fling at Mr.. Cox, because he
is a Democrat, and the trusted, tried, and
faithful Representative of this people; and
some of the delegates had the bad taste to
applaud this utterance. Politics should be
kept out of all Agricultural Conventions
and Agricultural Societies. Nothing like
the above should be permitted or encour-
aged in them.

A Dirty business.

We observe here and there Democrat
who seems to take as much pleasure in
abusing Gen. MCCLELLAN as any of the
Abolitionists do. 1t is natural and proper
for the ultra fanatics to villify and slander
MCCLELLAN, because he is friend of the
Constitution and the Union, and hence
their enmity. They will never forgive him
for demonstrating that it was practicable,
if not interfered with, to take Richmond,
which they do not want done. Their abuse
is, therefore, consistent. But for Demo-
Gratis to join in with the miserable crew in
slandering this able and patriotic soldier, is
ineffibly mean and contemplate.

The sorsho Convention.

This body met in this city on Tuesday,
Jan. 5, and was called to order at IL o'clock
A. M. by the President, Mr.. CLoUGH. A
long Constitution was adopted, section by
section, and in the discussion, much valu-
able information was elected, of which re-
port in the Cincinnati Gazette gives the fol-
lowing abstract:
The opinion prevailed that the Sorgho cul-
ture would soon rank among the important
interests of the country; that its permanency
will not depend upon the question of peace
or war with the South; in short, that the
most active competition Of Southern cane
will not seriously disturb the growth of
Sorgho In the North. 1t was contended
that aside from the molasses and sugar Sor-
gho furnishes, 1t is one of the most profit
able articles for fodder and feed for the fat
tening of stock that can be grown. Hogs
will fatten more rapidly on the green cane
and even on the skimmings of the evapora-
I tor than upon corn, though they should be
fed on corn short time before being butch
cred. Itwas held that the Sorgho seed was
fully as valuable as oats or corn for horses,
and that all kinds of stock prefer the blades
to any other coarse fodder. In some cases
they have been known to eat them in pref
erence to corn. The experience of most of
the growers is, that ton of blades is more
than equal to like quantity of hay, and one
member declared that he would rather have
a single ton of it, than two tons of the best
hay he ever saw. Much discussion was had
as to the purity of seed, the character of
the soil to which it is adapted, the mode
of culture, and the modes of fertilizing
for it.
On the whole there seems to be more diff
ficulty attending these questions than ap-
pertains to the growing of corn, especially
with experienced men. All farmers have
been bred to corn growing, but this is new
business to the agriculturist, which he must
learn from such discussions and by his own
experience.
