Proposed state Convention of
AgricuIturists.
Contention of the Farmers Of Lopndes
County.

At meeting of the planters of Lowndes
/ county, held at the Court House, on Satur-
day, the 26th of October, for the purpose OF
organizing a society looking to the promo
ton of Agricultural and kindred interests,
W. II. Hargrove, Esq. was called to the
chair, and James Styles was chosen Secre-
tary.
On motion, a Committee of six. consisting
of Col. III. A Pope, DR.. w. w. Humphries,
l.. NJ. Hardy, c. F. Sherred, Col. X. ID. Pow
ell, and John Shular, was appointed to re-
port Resolutions expressive of the purposes
of said Society.
The Committee having retired, Hon. Bev-
erly Matthews being called upon to address
the meeting, in a concise lucid, and able
manner, expressed the necessity of organi-
cation, and hearty cooperation in directing
the agricultural interests of the county and
State.
The Committee having return ed, reported
the following resolutions, which were I'M
animOusly adopted:
WHEREAS, The planters of the several cot
ton producing States have for the past few
years been defrauded of remunerative re-
turn for their crops by circumstances unwit-
tingly made stringent by themselves, and
the subtle policy of spectators in both the
cotton and provision markets, therefore be
it
Resolved, BY the planters in County Con-
ventiOn assembled, in order to remedy this
evil. and avert the crushing consequences !;
elected by this meeting AS delegates to a
State Convention TO meet at Jackson, on the
1sr day of December next.
Resolved. That it is advisable for them to
discuss and suggest the numbers of acres of
land per hand, that should be put in through
out the State, so as to promote at once the
interests of planters and manufacturers; to
regulate if possible, the price of labor so as
to suppress the ruinous competitor now so
prevalent-und still maintain unchanged,
the interests of the employers to establish a
Planters Bank at some accessible place in
the State, with branches in the most import
ant places to purchase cotton, or advance
upon it when delivered to hold as security
for the loan, thus enabling the planter to
escape the clutches of the heartless specula-
tor and merciless usurer, and to get q COM
pensating price for the product of his labor.
Resolved, That the planters of every
county in the State are cordially invited TO
cooperate with US in devising some remedy
these evils which they in common with us
deplore, that they are invited TO send dele
gates to q Convention to be held in Jackson
in December; that the planters of all the
cotton producing States are urged in pro-
noting these ends.
Resolved, That the newspapers in every
section are respectfully requested to endeav-
or to effect the aims We propose to ourselves.

The Preservation OF Meat.

The subject for discussion at the Scottish
Corporation Hall, Crane Court, on Saturday
night, was the preservation OF meat. Spe-
cimens of home and colonial manufacture
were laid upon the table. DIR. DruitL who
introduced the question, pointed out that
the means Of importing into England the
produce of the overstocked portions OF the
world was a matter OF vast and increasing
importance. lie then introduced Mr..
Jones, who preserves meat upon patented
process Of his own, which was described In
the Daily News when II was first introduced
to the public. In reply u questions from
various medical gentlemen present. MT
Jones stated that the nutritive properties
are all retained in the meat itself, the water
merely being withdrawn into a receiver,
instead of surrounding and permeating the
meat, extracting its virtue, and breaking
down its fibre. The flavor Is entirely re-
tanned. rendering the meat pleasant and at
tractive, while its appearance and hrmness
are equal to that cooked by the ordinary
domestic appliances. The same important
results are secured by this system In the
preservation fish, poultry, sausages, etc.
At the completion Of the operation a simple
means OF closing the tins not only super
sedes the use of solder but also greatly
simplifies the apparatus required, by rem
dering unnecessary any taps above the tins.
Mr.. Jones was thanked for the explanations
he had given, and IL was incidentally men
toned that an immense trade Is being done
in Australian meats. Samples Of compress
ed soup in squares were also exhibited
Opinions favorable TO the use Of preserved
meats were generally uttered.-London

swine management.

We let our sows have pigs twice year
always aiming to have them drop them in
April and August. We keep those drop
ped in August over winter. Some are
fed for the spring market, when they
weigh from three hundred TO four hundred
pounds gross. Some of the spring pigs
are fed at eight months and some at
eighteen months, weighing from two hun
bred to five hundred pounds gross.
As soon as the pigs can crack corn il is
given to them on the ear-not cooked. -
When the grain field are ready for them
we turn them on. Some sow large fields
of rye for hogs; ifthe boards are rotten
they do well ifnot, they lose more than
they gain. When we go into the winter
with them we allow from four 10 six ears
of corn to each hog per day. Some keep
them in good warm quarters, while the
herds of others make their beds in the
woods with leaves.
When clover blooms we turn them into
it and give them about two ears Of corn
each per day until the small grain is
ready for them after that we give them
about two barrels Of corn. They are
then ready for market. In feeding we
allow barrel Of corn per month-twen-
ty-eight days TO the month. Fifty
pounds of pork is a very good gain for
one barrel ofcorn. Young sows are bred
at eight and nine months old.

REPUBLICAN
DEMOCRATIC.

The foregoing represents the vote of thir-
ty-five States. The two remaining States
not included are Mississippi. with seven
electoral votes-which may probably be
carried by the Radicals-and Texas, with
six electoral votes, which will certainly be
given to the Democracy. Thus with the
States that are now Democratic, and Texas
added, the Democrats have l60 electoral
votes, and the Republicans, with Mississippi
added, have 155, giving to the Democrats a
clear majority of five throughout the coun-
try. In the list of the States in the Demo-
cratic list which the Republicans are likely
to carry in Presidential election, Connect
lieut. is the only one; but the loss of her six
votes would be more than counterbalanced
by the loss to the Republicans of the seven
vote of New Jersey, which would certainly
be cast for the Democratic candidate.
