Agricultural Congress.

The recent Agricultural Congress
which was held in Selma, Alabama,
on the 9Th, 9Th aud 7th insts., was, in
point of intelligence and public spirit
equal to any deliberative body that
has sat in the South since the war;
Valuable papers were ready by mem
beers on rice, cattle, bees, immigration,
etc, which will In a short time be
printed in the journal Of proceedings.
Gen. w. H. jackson, Gov. Patton
and j. b. Kitlebrew having been DEL
egated by the Nashville Agricultural
Association to attend the Agricultural
Congress, for the purpose of efecting
if possible, n consolidation Of the
two, put themselves i'm communica-
ton with the Congress on the 9th
inst, and We're invited to take seats
upon the floor. On the same evening
Gen. Jackson spoke the sense of the
committee and made proposition to
the Congress to meet with the Ma
tional Agricultural Association on
the fourth Monday of May next, at
st. Louis, and then and there consid-
er the proposition for consolidation.
A committee was appointed to act on
the matter with Gen. Hardee as
chairman, who unanimously recon-
mended to the Congress that IL meet
the National Association Mt st. Louis
ut the time designated. The report
of the committee was unanimously
concurred in by the Congress, and
there is scarcely doubt that the two
organizations will be united.
The following is the report of the
committee as copied from the pro-
ceedings:
4. ,"rhe committee appointed to
consider the propositions made to
this body by the delegates from the
National Agricultural Association,
which recently met i'm Nashville, beg
respectfully to report that they unan-
imOusly recommend in accordance
with the suggestions of the aforesaid
delegation, that when this Congress
adjourns it shall adjourn to meet in
st. Louis, Mo-, on the fourth Monday
i'm May next, at which time and
place, the question Of fusion of the
two bodies, may he discussed and de-
termined. "W. J. HARDEE.

On motion of Mr.. Sheppard the re-
port was received and concurred in
unanimously.
1t is earnestly desired by the mem
bers of both Associations that as
many of the members as possible
shall be present on that occasion,
and that steps may be taken by the
united Association to forward the
great mineral development of the
country, as well as to collect and dis
seminate valuable information in re.
lation to theaoricultural and mineral
interest of the whole country.

The Feet.
OF all parts of the body, there is
not one which ought to be so careful

proceed from the same, are attributa-

what the Radicals Say.

The Springfield Republican, one
amongst the ablest of the Radical
organs Of Massachusetts, says:
A great deal has been said about
the dead Democracy. Those who
think it dead surely never read the
story of the resurrection. There will
be signs in the heavens and on the
earth in 1872, when the Democratic
party gets its soldiers in the field.
The New York Evening Post, an
other Radical journal, speaking OF
the Democracy, truly says:
He is fool, or a traitor, who ex-
poets to win an easy victory over the
Democratic party in 1872. Grant
can never do it with the bayonet.
And Horace Greeley, the most as
tute and far-secing of all the Radical
party, makes this admission:
The Democratic party to-day, is
stronger than it ever was in its his
tory. 1t means now to win, and i
do not say that it cannot win.

opposition, he allowed his soldiers to
commit all manner of outrages upon
