AenIcuLTuRAL. AT the last meeting
Of the Shelby County Agricultural So
ciety, it was resolved that the Society
meet at jackson, BY delegation. on the
third Monday of February. Six dele
gates were thereupon appointed, Also,
acommittee was appoiuted to issue to
the farmers of West Tennessee an ad-
dress on the agricultural interests of
this section Of the State. In pursuance
of this last resolution, the committee have
issued q printed and we'll digested adj
dress. The prominent parts are the in
dividualism of farmers generally-the
indisposition to unite in concerted effort
for the advancement Of their interests.
Examples Of this are given, as where no
one farmer can afford to Purchase q
reapiug machine, when associa-
lion might procure one for
each neighborhood. Also, in the inn
provement of stock-associated effort
might impart and thus introduce gene.
raj improvement-isolated, each lack
ability to bring about what all desire.
The streams Of Information the useful
suggestions, and hence the advancement
in farming interests, brought about by
frequent meeting and discussion, are lost
by individualism. The deficiency in
labor and the means of supply form
a prominent character of the address.
The committee do not anticipate an in
Hux Of immigrants. How, then, is the
want to be met? A system of labor
must be adopted to meet the emergency
of the times. Crops must be made which
will not consume, as has been the case
in the last three years, all the profits, if
not proceed in paying for the labor that
tends it. Grain and stock raising and
the introduction of machinery, must, to
large extent, ttke the place of cot
ton; and they show that the stock
raising, grain growing and mauufactur.
ing section has always been the most
prosperous. We cannot ask how every
acre Of land can be made available.
They show that while all our lands may
not be cultivated, all can be made profit
able. Glover, grains and orchards should
engage every farmers attention. The
high price of cotton this year then shows
it is not the cause of present compare
tive prosperity. In 1866 it was higher,
yet it was very disastrous year, be-
cause corn and meat had not been
raised, but had to be supplied at exorbi-
tant prices. Cheap and abundant food
is essential to success in cotton planting.
Hence, we should discourage rather than
encourage cotton planting. Owing to
the difficulty and expense of eultivating
it and its great uncertainty, the commit
tee recommend that it be planted
in small quantities. "Let the South, "
says the committee, " move sensibly,"
arrange and manage their agriculture
and manufacture, so that all the cotton
made by them will be clear gain, and
capital will accumulate-one hundred
millions every year would be added to
the capital of the South. The address
commands the thoughtful consideration
of every farmer. M

DIFFICULTY WITH A MULE.-Thomas
Hands, one of the mackerel brigade, was
feeling quite sore this morning after
deadly conflict with mule yesterday.
Thomas, who has an eye to everything,
ospied dray pin lying loose, and con-
cluded he would appropriate the same to
his use and benefit. The pin was the
property of a drayman, who at once
seized upon it, which conduct irritated the
young gentleman, who drew his
knife and plunged it into the mule be-
longing to he drayman. The conduct was
objectionable, as the poor ass of mule
could not defend himself in the
dray. The mule swore ESQ our informa-
ton goes) that he could kick the boys
hat off his head, if he had fair show,
and as there is no law against a mule
fight, we should have let them fight it out
on that line. The animal could not be
produced in court this morning, on &C.
count of business engagements, and the
boy was only fned fifteen dollars for
the assault.

CASE reR THE MILrrIA.--Some gentle
men have woodward ct the Charleston
depot, and are very much annoyed by the
brigade Of lMackereIs, who depredate
upon the, woodpile whenever the least
opportunity is offered. Yesterday, when
| a car load was being received, the brigade
Aecked in, advancing their light skir-
mishers first, who we're soon driven back.
Then the heavy members Of that invinci-
BILE corps came up in gallant
style, but at once encountered
the private watchman, Mr.. L. G. Loder,
who seized one Of the colored ladies, so
called, and took from her the wood she
had secured; for which he was arraigned
this morning before court. We think
the militia had better be sent down;
some of the Governors black pets will
get into difficulty if they are not. The
Waterman was discharged.
NICHOLSON PAyEMEST.-The contractors
have finished all of the work of paving
with the Nicholson pavement let to them
in this city. The Chancery Court has
decided the question of the property
owners liability in favor of the contrac-
tors. The contractors are required by
the city to enforce the collection Of this
tax by suits against the property for its
condemnation and sale; heRce we shall
expect all parties indebted to US for the
pavement to come to our Office and set
| tie. If there are those who cannot pay
the money, let them come up and say
frankly what they can and will do, and
we shall do what we can in accepting
such terms as they may be able to offer
us. [lOs-t] 7. E. BRows & Co.

TEE New MEMPHIS THEATER.--Miss
Maggie Mitchell performed last night to
an Overlooking heuse-nothing more
than we should have expected from an
actress of her very high reputation.
'Fsnchon vas enacted with all its origi-
nal life and spirit By Miss Mitchell, who
is said, and no doubt with truth, to be
the finest delineator of the character now
living. In fact, Miss Mitchell was the
6rst who made the character so popular,
and has been playing it for a long while
with great success. Mr.. Robert McWade,
as "Didier Barbeaud," was one of the
best actors on the stage, and can
not be eclipsed by any star We
have yet seen. BE never fails to
please an audience 10 whatever character
he may assume. Landry Barbeaud
was played by Mr.. J. W. Collier in
very good style, that gave satisfaction to
the house. Mr.. NJ, flanagan was espe-
cially good. BE is one other member Of
our most excellent stock company that
always performs his part in q manner
that meets with the appreciation of
every one Tonight will be repeated
FdnchoH, for the benefit Of ell who have
not seen Miss Mitchell in her chief per-
Torrance. We hope again to see the
house crowded
