Agricultural Congress.

The necessity of cooperation
amongst the agriculturists and agri-
ricultural organizations of the South
ern States Is becoming more manifest
every year. Public Improvement,
the diffusion of agricultural science,
and the protection of the rights of
agriculturists, have not hitherto re-
ceived the attention which subjects
of such Importance demand, and
which are best secured by voluntary
association and combined action
The interests of the cultivators of the
great staple productions of the South
ern States demand central and uni
ted organization, the object Of which
shall he the promotion of improved
methods of culture specially adapted
to the productions peculiar to that
section, the improvement of the la
Dor system, the encouragement of
immigration, and the diversiticatiOn
of agricultural productions. A gen.
eral desire for an organization with
these objects in view is expressed by
leading agriculturists throughout the
South, and it is proposed to organize
an association which shall meet an
nually at some accessible point In one
of the Southern States, where agri-
culturists from every section shall
assemble, to deliberate in council, and
fully communicate the result of their
experience as tending to the advance
ment OF the arts of husbandry and
kindred subjects. 1t is suggested that
the initiatory assembly convene at
Augusta, Ga, during the holding Of
thegfeat fair of the Cotton States Me-
chanics' and Agricultural Fair Asso-
ciation in October next, and in fur
therance of this suggestion there has
been appointed a joint committee
from the Cotton States Mechanics
and Agricultural Fair Association
and from the Augusta Board Of Trade
to make all necessary arrangements
for the first meeting, which will he
held in that city October 26th. The
State and county organizations thro'-
ought the county are invited to send
delegates to this initiatory assembly,
the first business of which will be the
permanent organization of an agri-
cultural congress-election of officers
ect.-to he followed by free discuss
ion of agricultural subjects. The
central location of Augusta and its
extensive railroad connections make
1t easy of access from all parts of the
country, and arrangements have been
made with the various railroads t.
carry delegates free of charge or al
reduced rates. Delegates, in order tC
avail themselves of this privilege
must present duly-authenticated cer-
tificates of appointment to the 'agrl'
cultural congress. Associations are
requested to report us early rs practi
cable the names and number OF dele
gates they may appoint. All com
municati0ns should be addressed to
Mr.. T.. II. Gray, Secretary Cottol
States Al. and A. Fair Association

NED NlNTElt
Grenddy MSS Sentinel.

A MAN long noted for intemperate
habits was induced by the Rev. John
Abbott to sign the pledge lin his own
pledge myself to drink no intoxicat-
ing drinks for one year. Few be-
lieved he could keep it; but, near the
end of the year, he again appeared
at a temperance meeting without
having touched n drop.
Are you going to sign again ask
ed Mr.. Abbott.
Yes replied he, If can do it in
my own way and accordingly he
signed the pledge ornine hundred and
ninety years, 'and if, said he, Il live
to that time, L intend to take out q
life lease"
A few days after he called on the
tavern keeper, who welcomed him
back to his old haunt.
'Oh, landlord, snid he as If in pain,
Il have lump on my side y
"rhat's because you have stopped
drinking said the landlord. You
wont live long If you keep on
'Yes, and if you don't drink, you'll
soon have lump on the other side
Come, lets drink together and ht
poured out two glasses of whisky.
Il reckon l won't drink said the
former inebriate, especially If keep
ing the pledge will bring another
lump, for it isn't very hard to beaI
after all, and with this he drew tn,
'lump'-a roll of greenbacks-fron
his pocket, and walked of, leaving
the landlord to his reflections.

A recent case, he said, was cause of

branches of the government by the
Legislative when Congress arrested
Pat Woods for n local otlcnse, became
judge and jurors, and finally executed
prisoning an American citizen for
three months in the District of Col

venerable statesman, with his eyes
beaming with solicitudc for his coun
try, this Is the first great strike at the
root of American institutions. 1t is
the fundamental principle of this
government, that the legislative, ju-
dicial and executive shall be forever
separate, and that the person of one
man shall not be sacred above anoth-
er. Blackstone teaches that the
kings person Is sacred;' but this idea
died with the coming of Democracy.
