The Registers estimate OF Saturday
morning in the remaining counties would
give the COnventioners the State by ,35l
majority, but we do not believe that esti.
mate Is very accurate. In the counties
above enumerated, the Register made an
error in It's favor OF about five hundred.
II seems to lis there are greater errors in
its guess at the other counties. We have
run over those counties and made u rough
estimate, which gives the Convention a
majority in them Of ,Gj0-not enough by
ljO to overcome the majoritics already
reported against u Convention, II we
consider that Of the counties only partially
reported, Richie entire (by the Registers
rstimateD will give 300 against; that the
other three townships Of Preston willswell
its majority to at least 1000 against; that
Harrison is reported to have gone from
200 to 400 against; that the report from
Bmxton is obviously too large by 200,
while CahCll, Lincoln and Mineral are not
likely To give large maiorllies either way,
it appears probable the majority against
in the counties reported ought to be pnt
nearer twcnty.sevcn hundred than seven
teen; and that the chances arc favorable
the counties yet to be heard from cannot
overcome ii.
We do not make our estimates, how
ever with the confidence that has al
Achpd losuch business heretofore. There
il more uncertainty about the result Of
this election than any ever held in the
State. The attempt to marshal the
Democracy within party lines was only
partially successful, and in many counties
the differences between them were sharp
and widespread. Then again in fifteen
or twenty counties, large element lthc
.ConlcdGraics) voted for the first time.
IT. the differences amongthc Democracy
have rendered Il itunCertaln how any given
county has voted, 1t Is still more uncer.
lain how large and what kind Of vote
has been cast in the counties embracing
large numbers of tho newly cnIranchiscd.
Estimates therefore based on the votes of
former elections, when the cX.ConIedcr-
ates did not vote, aud when those who
did divided strictly on party lines, belong
very largClyto the realm of speculation,
and are not 10 he put forth with mach
confidence
We feel safe in saylng, however, that
the returns thus far Justify a lively hope
that the call for Convention Is defeated.

count OF the Agricultural College of thai
State. The College began in the woods
and without endowment The labor prin.
ciplc was carried out to q greater extent
than in any other College in the land.
The principal experiments made were in
reference to the crops, the methods OfcuI-
turc, the different applications OF manure
and its effects on the soils, and the COM
parativc value Of different seeds, grains
and vegetables,
Prof, McAlec, of Wisconsin, gave an
account of the experiments at work near
Madison, These experiments had been
so far successful. The principal expert
ment had been in testing the varieties of
oats, wheat, barley and corn, the dura.
bility of wood by artificial agents, the
amount per acre Of different grains yield
ed and the weight of small grain planting
of corn, &c, 1t was then voted that the
future meetings he held at the Agricul.
