NASHVILLE, Sept. y. Gentlemen Il have
received your letter. and without atlertation

describe the JOY il has given me. The spon-
taneous expression of such sentiments rs your
letter contains, coming from You us late soldiers

event Of great significance in the history of our

their backs upon the parties CROPPING in the
moonlight of the past. and discuuntenance

the human reason and blunt the best impulses
of the human heart; when they once more fully

here and there 4 spirit which keeps alive feel

means Of social prescription, Of intimidation, or
violence, strives to impede the development Of
free public opinion, you can render it harmless
by your influence and example. Ii there are
still disturbances of peace and order of society

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The day has been fine, and the attendance
this afternoon is large and apparently much in
terested in the proceedings. The opening ar
ticle was by Samuel WATSON of Ellsworth, up
on substitutes for hay, and the comparative
value of corn and hay. 1t brought out quite an
animated discussion. The general opinion
seemed to be that ID bushels of corn is equal to
Il ton of hay, and that corn meal is of more
value fed scaded than dry, one farmer saying
that one quart scal,led is better than three dry.
Working animals should be fed with meal over
night.
The next paper presented was by Seth Seam
mon, on improvements Of Pastures. 1t was
followed by long discussion. A majority of
the speakers thought pastures should never be
plowed but top-(!reSsed instead, especially
ROUGH knOlly ground.

made the following response in a few short
and appropriate remarks:
Mr.. Chairman II am surprised that you
should call on me. 1t has been my custom
to set up" speeches; not to make them.

the notion that a composition was nothing
